reality check - 2 days to go before convocation day. 4 days to go before i'll be off to melaka for my induction course. its seriously scaaaary i tell you. anyways, i'm motivating myself on daily basis to recuperate my already dampened spirits. most of my friends admitted to not have any revision done themselves during the break *silent relief*. dell reports the same - and currently she seems to be doing well. so i guess i'll be ok.
i hope i'll be ok. *sigh*
my long blissful holiday is ending very2 soon. welcome O miserable life.
after receiving my induction letter last week, umi suggested that we spend the weekend at jadah's (my grandma) house - because according to her, i may not be able to visit her as often anymore after i started working later.. i didn't say anything, but i guess she's right. so off we went to Penang for the weekend.
here's some new things i learnt while i was there this time round.
recognise this? it's cotton. fresh from the tree after being cleaned.
this the tree. ( i'm not sure wether this is the right term to use, so bear with me..)
and these are the ..err.. *buah kapas..* these are the mature ones - as seen here they've already fall onto the grounds. mature cottons are off-white. the ones freshly plucked from the tree branch will be as white as snow. *weee..*
some can just be found lying around like this.. during peak seasons, they'll cover the grounds with whites - just like snow. i'm serious!
to clean them - remove the so called kulit, the pulp and the seeds. dried them off under the sun.. and waaallaah!
it took me 15 minutes just to clean 1 piece of 'buah kapas'. jadah told me it takes around 100 pieces to make a nice comfy pillow. 100 x 15 mins = 1500 . 1500/60mins = 25 hours . so it actually takes an average of one day to clean enough cotton for one piece of pillow. imagine!
here are the pillows hand made by jadah. whats so nice about cottoned pillows? apart from being soft, they do not absorp heat very well. so that makes them cool - and very comfy to sleep on, unlike the new-gen styrofoam / sponge pillow.

A conversation that took place one fine day..
(umi) Dear..what is a blog?
Eh? Erm..*silence* (apparently giving definitions and descriptions is not included as one of my specialities..)
A blog is… a place where anyone can simply write anything. But the difference is it’s online. Anyone can read it.
Owh..ok. But then, how is it different from websites..? People write in websites too..
Hmm. Websites are mainly set up to achieve certain purposes. Like to market certain products.. or as a fansite or as a downloader and as such. In blogs people mainly writes.. simply whatever.. their daily routine, their opinion on certain subjects.. its like an online diary.. but wait.. *another silence* (starting to get confused. People do that in blogs too.. right? marketing, fansites.. downloader.. etc2.)
So what are blogs then?
That was how I ended up in wikipedia looking for ‘blog’
A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog) , photographs, (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media

Owh…..

Continuation of the above conversation..
(umi) So u mean there are people out there writing diaries to be read by other people?
Why would anybody want to do that?
Another tough question. *sigh*. Camane nak explain nih?

guess what's so special about this Big Mac? 
it's free!!! yeAy!
all i need was a coupon (which i have aplenty, thanks to my sis and her friends..) and complete a chant within 4 secs at the nearest McD.
"2- all beef patties~ special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions,~ on a sesame seed bun!"
i rehearsed the chant at home for several days.. (actually rehearsal only took around 30minutes..but i need to gather some guts before actually going to the nearest McD..hey, not everyday u chant infront of strangers ok..) went to the restaurant, shoved off my coupon at the counter, displayed a big smile, took deep breath and chant away..
by the time i knew it, i've secured myself a free big mAc.
learn more about the chant contest here
btw, the pic above was taken from google. i was practically halfway chomping on my Big Mac before noticing that i've forgotten to snap some pics, hehh..
on my way home, i saw this.
someone must have been badly preoccupied.
i tried giving front light signals and doing hand gestures, but i guess the uncle driver must have not notice it.
when i realized my attemps were all futile.. i took my camera and snapped a pic instead. ha!

wah. lamanya tak berblog. seriously, takde libido. skrg ni pun kebetulan ke cc sbb temankan my sis buat online application to various colleges, so i thought - what the heck. update je lah.
last saturday, i received my spa conformation letter. wah. berdebar2 bila tgk sampul putih besar kat postbox - it definitely couldn't be anything else. menakutkan ok. apa yg terlintas kat kepala aku time tu adalah - AKU TAKNAK KEJE...HUHUHUU... boleh tak nak duduk kat rumah mcm ni je smp bile2..? waaaaaa..... kalau time initially start cuti aritu aku mmg bersmgt nak start keje. time tu kalau suruh aku start keje right away tanpa cuti langsung pun aku tak kisah. okla, maybe bukan right awayla. tp i wouldn't mind cuti yg pendekla. tp lama kelamaan duduk kat rumah.. makin gembira - bangun lambat, gembira takde stress, gembira doing anything i want.. i'm beginning to feel..err..heavenly. tambah pulak..ilmu di dada semua dah degenerate bersama sel2 otak yg lain.. lagi laaaa... bertambah2 rasa takmau gi keja.. takmau..takmau.. taaaaak maaaaaau...................
boleh tak?
