anxiety

Received an forward email from mom.
Saying there is a prediction that there will be another tsunami disaster on 22nd july.Prediction says that country like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit.. but all these predictions are yet to be confirmed.

By 22 July, i'm gonna be at sabah. Looking at the map shown, sabah is within the region that predicted to be strike terribly. People are advised to stay away from beaches. i'm afraid. and anxious. What if i'm at my adventure diving phase by that time? even not me, what if the venturers at adventure phase kena strike by tsunami?

Realized too many people lost their love ones during last disasterous tsumani. Plus, recently unfortunate doom and gloom happened to people around me. It just doesn't make me feel well. i wouldn't want all these happen on me.

-i'm still very young.
-i still wanna explore.
-i couldn't afford to lose any of my family member. and i think they cant lose me too.
-i still wanna stay with my friends.
-i haven't become a pharmacist.
-i haven't contribute enough.

so happen to be in physpharm lab class,
so happen that nothing better to do than just sitting down,
so happen that "Malaysian Today" newpaper appears in front of me,
so happen that i browsed through the paper and stopped at an article titled PROCASTINATION.
so happen that ms evonne khoo was standing(with nth better to do) beside and correcting my pronunciation while i'm reading the article.

what a short and brief "lecture" on english pronunciation and hmm...i did learn sth new besides doing the tedious lung volume experiment for the whole day. - which i feel good.
i now still struggling on how to pronounce "tests","suggests" and "perfectionists". >_<"

back to procastination,
recently i'm addicted to photoshop. i could sacrifice my sleeping time and spend time to 2am just to edit a photo. and this requires lots and lots of my creativity cells....hope i still possess some.

[i personally love this photo most. killed lots of cells and time to produce this]

anyway, photoshopping might be one of the way i procastinate my homework but i disagree to the opinion that i'm wasting my time. i shouldn't spend 100% of my time on pharmacy studies, should spare some time to do favourite stuff too...be it needless or pointless.

*special thanks to singNing's 15min photoshop intensive session.

raleigh-ians' earth hour

earth hour. 0830pm to 0930pm.
well, it was a really successful publicity by wwf malaysia this year BUT did it successfully created awareness ?

people,why do u join earth hour?
a.it is a fun and cool event?
b.is it because u can buy a nice "60earth hour" t-shirt for only RM10?
c.you off lights because everyone off theirs?
d.you wanna do your part in making this earth a better world to live on?

off lights for an hour doesn't really contribute much in energy conserve. practice good habits daily and STOP tapau-ing,which my frens love to do.


in conjunction of earth hour, raleigh committee had our march comm meet IN DARK.

[summore, cannot take photos with flash.was using torch.]

[i realised i should get a papa gorilla tripod.]

[view from 08-04 apartment @ 0830pm and 0930pm]

halfway meeting, it's finally 0830 and we rushed to view the close light ceremony of kl tower and klcc. two buildings on the left--HILTON and MERIDIEN (marrydiennn, according to how kalai has pronounced) off their lights too.

[things looks like that @0830pm-0930pm with kl tower and klcc missing]

by the end of earth hour, comm meet came to an end too. Next we proceed to petaling street for dinner. And wow, the food are really nice! i didn't know there's night life in petaling street until that day!

lastly, went klcc to take some photos with the polish backpackers before all returned.

[yohoo!! i've always wanted to take a photo of klcc at night,unfortunately this is not one of the best photo to me.]

is kind of a special feeling when you see your initial appears on the screen of lecture for so many times.
discovered the new equation: YANG'S modulus.

(stupid act. need to wind down a bit after a week of non-stop reports..assignments..)

3 reports
2 presentation
2 tests
1 coursework
1 project
and 1 roadshow
to go!

better back to work now.

[drugs bibles]

it has been a busy week.life's packed with day long lab, day long lectures,frequent meetings(or shall call it discussion + chitchat sessions),class photo taking session, jogging sessions,makan+ crapping session,burning mid night oil to complete the reports,to understand the theories.

And finally it comes to a weekend when we can vent all the pressures on a squash ball or a pingpong ball. or simply sit by the bench outside sports complex to appreciate birds chirping after rain.

i like busy life though.i need sth to keep me occupied.i manage my time better when i'm busy.i can get more things done when i'm busy.that's why宁可将事物托付于忙碌的人，也不把事物托与空闲的人.

feels good when i sat by the bench.it's so relaxing.but sth is still missing in my mind.

sports week

[basketball training.photo curi-ed from bernadette's album]

huh. it wasnt a good week.
i think i spend more time at sports complex than the time i spend on my bed.
in the end i got nothing. haih.
i though i'll have sth on my CV or testimonial.

actually i do gain sth--
-2 new friends
-a better relationship with some not-so-close friends
-some photos

which i now feel more balance...

an early morning hike

[my trial and succeed]

[the blur little man makes the photo nicer(to me)]

[i like super contrast blue]

-feel like adding sth blueish blueish to my blog..

kl towerthon 2009

[din expect the whole family came]

after a month of practicing,finally there comes the day of tie legs towerthon.

woke up early in the morning, anticipating the moment to arrive.

arrived at the starting point and meet dino,karlye,luyi,luying,peiting,christal (who all ran from karlye's hse ,which is located at kl central,to kl tower as last minute RIMM training..only raleigh ppl will do this kind of crazy and silly thing.
but i'm so greatful to join this crazy family, to do things where normal ppl wont do.

[group photo]

after approximately an hour of taking photo session/chit chat session/last training session/breakfast session,the comes 8.45am. the women open category is abt to start. sympathetic effect is taking place and my heart is beating in such vigorous tempo.so as shiwei's.

as the gun fired,the excitement mounted and we started to run!
(on the other hand raleigh gang berkecoh-kecoh along the road to do publicity.)


huh,i really felt the 1km uphill tar road was very much harder than 2058 steps on the stairs.at first, we wasn't that synchonise and we cant run fast.both of us were gasping for more oxygen and my leg muscles starting to get sore. but,okay, after a month of training,i believed myself to be mentally fit-at least i'm determine enought to endure the muscle sore and continue running without stop.


finally we're at the tower base and started our journey of the never ending climb.we sweat inside out,outside in even before we reached mid tower.i dunno how many floors are there,we climbed and climbed and climbed.by the way, i enjoy reading all the sportsman's quotes.although some quotes doesn't really inspired me,it fun to find out what these ppl spoke before.

[sweat..]

at some floors,there's water break.it was really a temptation to stay at the air-conditioned room but not to forgot our initial thoughts was to complete our mission.shi wei asked me to time her so we are not staying in the room for a long time.we agreed on the time 3minutes. but then i was the one who take care of the timer, i allowed only 1.5minutes for each break.
experiment conclusion:unless you test urself fully,you cant know your true limits.


along the way up,saw some really fit veteran running up as if he's still a teenager.saw some not so fit uncle auntie was taking their own leisure time to wander up the stairs.saw some school boys sprang up like hell.saw some photographer we pose.saw some exhausted runner we smiled to encourage each other.saw some category E participants and i started to get nervous because we're taking too long to accomplish our task!


eventually and without realizing, we reached towerhead 3 and finished the race.after we have returned the number chip,we walked downstairs in 3 legs to towerhead 1-a place where u can have a 360 degree birdeye's view of kl city.then, we posed again.oh ya..not to forget to thank our official photographer christal and my official camera nikon D60 for all the photos taken.
since there's so many ppl q-ing up for the only lift to get down to towerbase, we loitered around towerhead to do some publicity.too bad there wasn't any media,i guessed they went down to take the winners' photographs ady.only some random curious uncle asking why are we tying legs together.

got down to meet fellow raleigh-ians and got my first medal!-a finisher medal in the goodie bag.i'm happy enough to get a medal.i'll remember what i did whenever i look at it.although we din meet our target to have it done in 1hour, it was still a great and unforgetable experience!

next,have our very own "bandana un-tie ceremony".din't expect there's some background music for our little ceremony.


last but not least, took a short cut walk to petaling street and have za zheung min as lunch.the mee was as nice as it was before.finally,i'd like to end the day(event) with this peaceful photo.
