Goodbye 2005

Listening to: 'Crazy'- Alanis Morissette cover
Actually there's a lot on my mind to talk about. It is the end of 2005 and I can't believe it is over. Don't worry, my final year project (fyp) is still dragging itself slowly to finish the race. This morning me and those who share the same supervisor of my fyp had a meeting. Your guess is right. She is very angry with our progress and attitude towards our projects. The conclusion of the meeting are:
1. Plan your work properly
2. Don't waste glassware, electric and anything else we love to waste on.
3. Try to minimize contamination in our lab/place- meaning: prepare our media properly as it could be a major cause to contamination, clean all dirty plates...ops, sorry...i mean glassware that we have used and sterilized your glassware, place where you keep your cultures and everything else.
For those who find some of the words are too alien to your vocabulary, sorry I'm not going to explain it to you. You just to have to look it for yourself. The same way I do when I don't have any idea what CSS, content tagging, RSS feed, Atom etc etc means. But if you don't get the picture of what are the importance of what my supervisor just told us, I'll help you. You see, to scientist, researcher, Master student or graduate student like me, the biggest nightmare to all the hard work we have put into our project, research etc etc are contamination or didn't get the result that we expect. So we have to be careful not to make any mistake that could harm our final result. There, you get it?
Recently I've just realized what else we could do to blog if you're to lazy(like me) to think of something to post and prefer reading other peole blog or visiting my favourite websites. It also give me a new meaning/reason to write to my blog. Apparently we could post a link of some article or other people blog like many of the blogs I'm fortunate enough to stumble to. You might want to check the links I post on the right side of my blog to check some of my favourite blog.
There even a blog that compiled the Best Links 2005 that I didn't get the chance to check it out myself since I'm writing this blog.
When I went online just now, it was a relief mixed witd sadness to know that J K Rowling is starting to pen the final installment of the Harry Potter series and hopes to finish it somewhere next year (wait, that's tomorrow!) and amusing to know that what would have been in the entertainment in '05: What If Cruise Had Kept Control... and how it turns out be instead!
If you love to doodle during your class or meeting you might as well visit this blog Blog-Doodle or if you have a secret you can't keep you MUST visit this popular blog Post Your Secret Here
And to all final year students, you must read stark raving terror on what will happen if you trust the technology too much to finish your thesis!


If you like what you see above, you should go here to make your own speech bubble =)

Other than this, I would like to achieve some of my wishes for 2006 although some of them I should've done in 2005. Nevertheless, I wish (in no particular importance):

p/s: whoa...I've written the longest blog ever for myself this year! hAhAhA....

I need some strength...

Actually I'm pretty concerned with my final year project. Yela, I'm kinda behind everybody else. Well maybe not all but they have their own solid excuse. So memang aku tido tak lena sket memikirkan projek aku nih. Dahla weekend nih ada meeting plak dgn my supervisor. Although she's nice, I'm sure her niceness is limited to people who don't looking out for trouble. The problem is I don't look for trouble but maybe I'm not good at organizing my project and not very good handling it all by myself. Hell...! I dunno what should I tell her about my work progress. Arghh....very stressful!!! I should have taken an Art stream instead...hAhAhA..nk jadi saintis konon. Haprak jela aku nih...
Dahla my result isn't flying high either. Taktau la nk jadik apa aku nih. Dah la tinggal satu sem ja lagi. Hopeless...
Arghh...esok maybe kelas dh start. Aku amik 4 subjek sem nih- 2 subjek bio(mikrob p'sekitaran, bio. vektor & parasit), 1 opsyen(spanish) and 1 minor (psiko). Projek lg nk kena handle, penulisan tesis supervisor dh bg dateline...Argghh...I'm...I'm finished...! God help me!!! Give me strength to keep on going....

My House (or should it be The House?)

I got this from Ilyani (yay...finally I'm updating my blog!). The purpose of this thing is it is supposed to analyze your personality through your drawing of your house except in my case it doesn't look anything like my house at all but what the hell. I want to get myself analyzed and there it goes. But maybe I should warned you before you see my drawing: I totally suck drawing using mouse,touchpad whatever (although I've practised my times using the app. Paint- not for this purpose only la!) so my drawing has irregular lines =P. Well now, here we go...

And based on my drawing, a couple of questions and here presto, I'm analyzed:

Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:
"You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are a freedom lover and a strong person".
The 1st line is so very true...I mean I don't think much about having a relationship right now and find that anybody at my age getting married or took relationship seriously is damn weird. Hey, I'm not anti-Relationship, homosexual, bisexual or anything. It just that my mind(or rather my way of thinking) hasn't evolve in the relationship part with the opposite sex. I know, pity me or what an alien (no offense, Ilyani) !
I will get married, have kids, etc but I'm not sure when.

"You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be".
I'm not very sure about avoiding being lonely because actually I really don't mind being lonely because I work best under that circumstances. I could live with just myself, a great book and a cup of coffee. Yes, I love the right kind of excitement and very tidy but not very obsessively tidy. Full of changes? Yeap, thats me. I love doing last minute changes or decision. The last line is very true though I couldn't elaborate more.

"You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself."
What can I say...very well said.
