Pharmacology and Virology test

I've been quite busy lately... This week itself, I have pharmacology and virology mid term test. Kinda killing me already since so much things to revise for both of the paper. Virology today was even worst. Maybe I also did not study much on all the viruses classification (but who on Earth wanna study all those family of viruses, Baltimore classification of all types of viruses, the capsid structure, whether it is enveloped or naked virus, and the receptor for its attachment?), so I can't score in that part. That question alone already carry 30 marks. *sad*

Anyway, all those test were over. I guess I wanna catch a movie someday since recently been studying for the tests only. I gotta release some stress also. Kinda a lot of movie I wanna watch but then no time only.

The worst thing still is the assignment awaiting us. My group mates for the Sociology assignment planning to have a discussion regarding the presentation on tomorrow and maybe the day after tomorrow if we unable to finish everything. My lecturer also missing somewhere that we have no other choice to see her to discuss about our assignment except email. But as far as I know, she only replied "mmm... lets discuss it on saturday..". I'm speechless already.

I just felt that this semester for me is very hectic, and tiring. I don't really have much time for my own to do things that I wanted to do. I don't really have time to watch movies, loitering around the malls, chit chat with friends etc. Wish have more time to do more things for myself. LOL. Maybe I need some time management.

CNY days and on...

Wow, it's been 11 days since CNY started on 26th of January this year. Another few days, on the 9th of February is the Chinese 'Chap Goh Mei' celebration. I wonder who will be going to throw mandarin oranges around looking for a partner. LOL. As I was joking with Voon Yuke that day, I said that she should be throwing oranges that day so that she can enjoy Valentime Day on the same week, 14th February, Saturday.

CNY is so tiring for me I guess. All my time was occupied last week for mostly relatives. It's either dinner here and there or lunch here and there. Doesn't really have much time for my ownself. The best thing during this period is that we get to take picture of the whole family. LOL. It can be seen in my Facebook too.

~I guess no need to explain, it's just my family~

~With this large crowd, I guess no need to explain either, it's "Tong's Family"~

~My grandpa & grandma with all Tong's cousin~

~My brother (Weasley), Chooi Mei 'Jie Jie' & Me~

After CNY, back to study this week. Plenty of things gotta do I guess. Still working on thesis, gotta start preparing for assignments and gotta start revising notes since mid-term is coming soon. There is still many other stuff to take care of as well. Hope I can manage my time for all of that. This Saturday got replacement class for Sociology for 6 hours straight. I guess gonna be crazy soon. Not to forget this Sunday I gotta attent a soft skill, "Thinking Out of the Box". Hope that I really gain something there as I don't wanna feel wasting time only. Feeling this week kinda pack for me.

Happy Chinese 牛(New) Year ~ 黑皮牛耳~ 2009*

Happy Chinese New Year... 黑皮牛耳 (Hei Pi Niu Er)... LOL...

For those who can't read Chinese character, the direct translation of 黑皮牛耳 is "Black Skin Cow Ear". While the Hanyu Pinyin is "Hei Pi Niu Er", simply just similar sound to Happy New Year... I learned this through a friend of mine. Funny isn't it?

This year is also the year of ox (牛), which in Chinese (Mandarin) pronouns as "Niu", some how similarly to the sound of "new". That's why I can text most of my friends Happy Chinese 牛 Year!!!

So this festive season is kinda normal routine for me. As usual, I need to help out my mum a bit such as cleaning the house - although I spend more time cleaning and tidying my own room, and drive her here and there to get most of the stuff needed for this festive season.

As you all know that last night was the special occasion for the Chinese to have their Reunion Dinner. Well, my family went to my grandpa's place in Kepong for the reunion dinner. I think I don't need to explain much about it, as you can see it in the picture here...

~Reunion Dinner~

As for today, the first day of CNY, I need to go visiting relatives. But then this year luckily only two places to go before I need to go to my uncle there as the last stop. So as usual again, we went to my granduncle's house then my grandaunt's house. They are the main places to go so everyone will gather there. So all angpow also get it from there, which I mean those far relatives.

Nothing much I can say also as nothing special as usual just all those chit chatting with cousins and aunties, uncles. So after all those, the last stop, my uncle's place for a lunch before we went back home. But what capture my attention is this little kitten that my aunt petting now. Cute little Siamese kitten, although I prefer other type of cat and colour. Anyway, cat is still cute. LOL...

~Isn't it cute~

New Semester

My new semester has begun... New year, new semester but same old me. LOL. Currently, Melissa, Ursula, Jun Hou, Suet Ying, me etc. are waiting for the UTAR management to come out with fair treatment regarding the car parking sticker... It's a bad experience I can say to you all. I'm lazy to blog about what UTAR have done to us... You may refer this through Melissa's blog under "Monday, January 12, 2009" entry...

Semester started yesterday with just 2 lectures, which were Pharmacology by Dr Anthony Ho (last year, Neurology lecture) and Sociology by Ms Charanjit Kaur... Before we attend Sociology, Melissa, Ursula, Jun Hou and me went to Jusco, Alpha Angle for lunch at Johnny's...

This semester, I have to choose an elective subject, either Sociology that I had attend a class yesterday or Interpersonal communication which most of my course mates ran off before it even started. I'm still haven't make up my mind which one to choose. However, I think most probably Sociology. Perhaps I gotta say goodbye to Ms Catherine Lee, the Interpersonal Communication lecturer...

As for Virology, Dr Say, the lecturer seems unenthusiastic to teach us at all during the lab briefing... He speaks softly and boring. Maybe it's too early or just the first lecture of the day. Dr Lim (previously Proteins and Proteomics' lecturer) taking over Oncology this semester. Her first lecture wasn't that interesting as well... I think she should learn a trick or two from Dr. Anthony Ho since they are good friend. LOL...

Happy Belated New Year!!! LOL

Happy New Year Everyone!!! LOL... It's a bit too late to say happy new year since today it's the third day of already... It's been a year not blogging in my own blog already (although it just a month only but the difference is between year 2008 and 2009)... New year means I should have new dreams and new visions...

Currently I'm looking for a part time job since I'm kinda broke lately... I gotta earn some cash to support my living... Don't wanna trouble my mum too much regarding on finance... So many things I need to buy or replace, and all this means money and more money... LOL... I need to replace my air-cond since it's already about 10 years old and cannot be fixed anymore... I wanna get a laptop also... Need to change my car tyres and servicing my car before Chinese New Year... This might be the main things in my to do list I guess...

Well, recently I got an offer from a tuition center to teach. Today, I gotta go for the interview. Hope that I can get that job... At least that I can earn some cash to support myself...
