the ultimate nagger

so piu jeh nags, if you all dont know. like, a lot. more than mom, just maybe not so long-winded. she's quick, she's straight and when she plans to, she will NEVER let it go. it's as if she has it on a to-do list and she HAS to let it out of her system. she's nagged me on VARIOUS stuff. toilet, lights, door, walk, train, bus, time, writing, jobs, resume, jacket, breakfast, lunch, washing, cleaning, anything you can think of.
the other day, i had my candles lighted. and i went to ken's room for a while. and she had to, of alll times, step into my room to find, no doubt, the candle burning in the middle of the table (and to think that i put it IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TABLE to prevent her from nagging. 'ah mei ah. you cannot put the candle too near the wall. can stain' ' ah mei ah, you cannot put it too near the curtain, can burn.' ..the list goes on). okay. so she put it off. and she came over to nag me. home safety and all. i understand. i take a deep breath and exhaled slowly. either that or i go 'yes yes yes yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes i wont do it again' exasperatedly. or i just blank out. i mean, i KNOW what i do, wrong or not. and she assumes i dont. so.
i dont HATE it. ive come to accept that as her styllleee. personality. character. whatever. i laugh about it. but thats about it.
but get this. almost everything that she 'catches' me at, i have managed to find that she does it as well, either before or after or DURING. haha. which leads to.. there was once when i was putting my dinner plates into the sink, and she came and said 'ah mei ah. sometimes, it doesnt hurt to wash your own stuff, you know.' something like that. i do wash. sometimes. then guess what - i peered down into the sink, and there lay her lunch container that she brought to work and so conveniently dumped it inside the sink before conveniently nagging me. conveniently. hahah. so i said, 'okay. so should i wash your stuff too?' ' oh, that's alright.' theres a lot more funny stuff like that la. but better not talk too much. just in case she decides to merajuk over this.
anyways. that day, i went out to find three of her candles burning in broad daylight on the table. and she was out! i gasped. what great opportunity! i couldnt resist, i couldnt. it was just too good.
so..

the comeback of scrabble weather woman

hello scrabbles, i am back. this time i wont be reporting dreadful unwanted haze but GOOD cheery weather. however, the sun may be overdoing it. it's very sunny here at kl and very hot indeed, which is not good, because then citizens of kl will switch on their air cons and CFC will be released to the atmosphere and the ozon layer will start thinning. thus, more more & MORE heat will come to us. ey, PANAS la di sini! here are some pictures. phew, it's hot!

scrabble weather woman for hazeless!

air is getting better. yah, better. kl tower visible. yah, can see. we see long stretch of lampost. yah, light. this is good. this is good.

the big picture

so last saturday, i finally got down to doing something about my room. i've been meaning to add some colours to it, but i 've been trying to figure out how. i got korkor to develope close to 90 pictures for me and send it over (it's much cheaper. at least three times! imagine getting 90 pictures for ten bucks.). so obviously, i didnt have enough frames to put it all over.

then i thought; wouldnt it be nice if i made a picasa-like collage? it'd be huge and .. surreal. like it came out of my computer. and it is! it's like a HUGE life-size picture on my wall. i've taped them all together. but i guess nothing looks as good as if it were framed up, cause there are reflections and all.

but it's alright. im a happy girl.

here's more pictures for you guys to ... ahh.. visualise :)

daily updates with the scrabble weather woman

if we are all wishing for the air quality to increase, dont hope. Malaysian have urged the government to reveal the API (Air Pollution Index) and there you have it, the graph on top show the stats yesterday. YES, yesterday! Today, the API reading at Port Klang rose to 529 and Kuala Selangor 531. The API reading at Putrajaya is 364, Shah Alam, 371 and Petaling Jaya is 349 and Kuala Lumpur is 321 as off 11am. Malaysia have declared emergency over places where API exceeds 500. Here's a little info on the API thingy! 0-50 is good; 51-100 is moderate; 101-200 is unhealthy; 201-300 is extremely unhealthy; 301-500 is hazradous to health; >500 = EMERGENCY! it's only 5pm, the lamposts are switched on. See the comparison of the air quality just outside our place...

haze faze

This picture was taken on 10th August 2005. The view from ahmei bedroom side window is atrocious. no more kl tower. no more kl city. goodness gracious, i can barely open my eyes while walking. and the first sniff of air... *COUGH*... yep, that was what really happened. this is BAD! if i keep on holding my breath, there will be insufficient oxygen for my cells to produce energy to work. really, i have been having headaches since it all started. see how this haze affects everything. yep, we need rain.

back to uni

uni started yesterday, and im glad. it has been a good balance, overall. holidays were JUST right. it didnt drag on too long, and uni came just when i was getting a bit restless. now it's here and i cant wait to take up the challenge. :D
anyway, zhen rong came, and ive spent everyday with him. showing him around and all. it's been very nice. me, zhen, jia and ww. just like i never left cempaka. :). who knew we'd all end up here, eh? i feel very ... how do you say? old and comfortable. is there a word for it? like an old sock with them. then again, i've known them since primary, although we've never been close. but being in the same school for so long..you dont have to be close to feel anything, you know?
so how are you guys anyway? how's home? i miss home. anything new?
anyway, dad. i think i might come back in december afterall. i was talking to jia lih, and it seems that if i leave sydney after i graduate, the chances of getting a PR is very slim. so i'd have to stay back. that means i wont be seeing you guys more than a year after i go back in march next year. ohh well. oh hey wait. i will be seeing you and mom when i graduate :D. oh, then it doesnt sound too bad.
im also thinking of doing my honours rigth after my bachelors. what do you guys think? i need some opinions..
