Are any of you familiar with the Digi Fuyooh advertisement on the radio on Fly fm? Its about this kid who goes clubbing and the mom's like giving him the dad's sports car, asking him to pick up someone cute and ends with that sickening FUUUYOH.
That isn't what irks me. What irks meis when the mom says" Here, take the Platatitum card"
When I first heard it, i was midly surprised. Isn't it Platinum? Like as in the element, Platinum? It didn't really register in my head after that.
Annoyingly enough they started playing that stupid advert more and more often, and everytime that word "Platatinum" rolls off her tougue it gives me a shudder and annoys the bejesus out of me. Stupid mother who can't even pronounce something right.
Just to reconfirm I googled Platinum card.
Every other credit card company's card goes by that name, so I can't be mistaken right? My sister mentioned copyright problems, but hey, its not like the mom said " Here, take my American Express Platinum card." It could have been ANY company's card. And so far I've never heard of someone copyrighting the words "Platinum card" so I don't see why there should be any intentional mispronouncing of the words there.
In a totally unrelated topic, I'm getting damn impatient. I want my bloody letter of offer already. I know people who have gotten them already, so why the hell isn't mine sitting in my email yet. *grumbles*

Microbio lab today was immensly boring.
Since Janu ran off to Luqman's table during the waiting periods I was pretty much left alone on my table- not that I'm complaining, but at that point I was just searching for something constructive to do.
So as my mind wandered around for something to work on, I though of my blog, and also photography- cuz my sister wants a SLR camera and all, she has a pretty good touch with photography, and I came to this- why don't I try matching my sister's flair in this whole photography thing?
or okay, it came out more like " Hmph I bet I could take better photos than she can," but yea whatever same thing.
And again, I thought it would be pretty interesting to find some nice angles to snap a picture of since we were in the lab- How many professional photographers take photos in a lab?
So here's one of a cuvette- for the uninformed, its a little plastic container like thing we use to place samples in for measurement of light intensity.
Bunsen burner- this should be quite understandable
From a dropper's point of view- I thought this was a pretty cool shot.
I really didn't take much cuz at this time I felt really weird, being the only one at the table, twisting and turning my photo in funny positions taking close up shots of the most random stuff. So I stopped.
I hauled my ass over to Luqman's table and took this-
haha yea this is basically what happens in micro lab when people have nothing to do- you just gather round one table and gossip over everything you can think of.

Wow. Back to back posts. I NEVER do back to back posts.
Anyway.
Its my brother's birthday today!
Good god I don't have a recent picture of him alone.
I'm telling you, my school's probably started drugging the canteen food with growth hormones or something to get better in sports, the lil twat's growing so bloody fast it doesn't seem normal. He's 12 by the way. And he's in Year 8. In government school terms, that be Form 2.
Kids his age usually haven't even taken their UPSR yet.
They wouldn't even know what enzymes are, or how to solve 5x=20.
Despite all the namecalling by my sister and I, he is amazingly mature for his age and NOT gay. He's just behaving like how any 12 year old should- slightly gay. (its the hormones, they don't kick in till later you know)
The poor guy's always been my subject of torture since he's the only fella whose significantly shorter than I am. And since I'm not exactly Yao Ming kinda tall, I have a very selective few I can pick on.
But seriously, I don't know how long more i can call him midget or grab him by the head. I'll give it another 2 to 3 years, and damn if everything goes well I WON'T be here for the next 2 years or so to do that. My dad (and secretly me too) has predicted that he would be the tallest of us three siblings, and seriously I think its gonna come true soon. I just can't imagine the day my younger brother is gonna call me midget.
Happy Birthday you lil fart. If you ever read this, know that to your sis and I, you'll always be that little gay brother who's got a crush on Winston Churchill.

On December 2005, it came to my house. It came in a neatly packaged box. With trembling fingers, i ripped open the packaging and lovingly set it out on my table. Yes. It was my very first.
Fast forwarded till now, after a few mysteriously disappearing reports and virus attacks later, I have succeeded in convincing my dad I needed a new laptop. This current one was irking the hell out of me as the RAM was so low (256 RAM) that after a long report session +itunes my document would refused to be saved - the whole thing will hang, and poof.. report (or portions of it) disappears.
Okay I confess that I am sorta sick of this laptop too and I wanted a new one as well, but don't judge me for that. I don't ask my dad for stuff often mmkays. When I want things I usually find means of getting them myself, but a new laptop, heh.
So ANYWAY. Feast your eyes on this-
Dear me. I wonder what it is.
Take a stab. A wild guess.
What was it? yes? yes? AHA! yes of COURSE you're correct!
Its a -
NEW LAPTOP! yay! dingdingding! Bingo!
Its a HP Pavilion dv2201TX! After much research on laptops and what not + advice from both Sarah and Jon, I decided to go for a HP. It looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. It looks even better when you see it for yourself, and when I first saw it myself I was so excited I almost wet my pants.
I was actually contemplating the Sony Vaio, but seriously the Vaio is so way overpriced it makes our toll charges seem like peanuts. For a price (I think I'll rather not disclose it) lower than the Vaio I got a orgasm-inducing laptop with almost double the specs of the Vaio.
This laptop has a 5 in 1 card reader, so all i have to do is plug in the SD card or my Memory stick duo from my camera/PSP and tada! I can easily transfer everything in and out in a flash.
OHOHOH. And did I mention about the buttons I have located above my keyboard? Its a row of 'Play' 'Rewind' 'Fast forward' buttons that I can simply press to get the desired functions when I'm playing music! HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?!
Vista is so bloody delicious. If I could just dig around and find out how to take screenshots..
Ah yes here it is.
Click Me!

As you might have noticed, I recently added a mini banner-like thing on the left side of my blog.
This stems from my current addiction with Facebook.
"eh? What?" you say
Facebook is basically like Friendster but with steroid jabs and a million dollar facelift. It is in a way like eating chocolates- you know you gotta stop, but you can't and you don't know why. Thing is, Facebook's kinda new so not many people's in it. However from what I've gathered from people who are already in it, it is just as addictive for them0.O
Don't feel weird if you suddenly find yourself refreshing your facebook page every 10 to 15 minutes waiting for someone to post on your wall, or finding the urge to load unlimited, yes UNLIMITED amount of pictures onto your profile and tagging every single person in it.
So click on it and sign up- find out why I'm having problems completing my cell met report and lab management assignment---> Facebook.com
PS: I haven't uploaded the pictures from saturday- reason stated above. I'll get around doing it soon, I promise =)Labels: addiction, Facebook, Friendster

Today I was at my microecons tutorial when Alvin (the tutor) threw a question about one of the, erm, questions in our tutorial sheet. Something about taxes- if there was a tax on the sales of a product, would there be a shift in the demand or supply curve?
So naturally I answered:" Supply." (simply because the tax is on the SALES of a product, so everytime you SELL a product, you are taxed- hence the tax is on the sellers right?
so I thought, or that was how my logic worked.
So then Alvin moved on to the girl next to me:" What do you think?"
*pause*
"Erm....demand."
And he moved on again to the next, and the next, and so on. They all answered demand.
As I was about to comfort myself that I was primarily a SCIENCE student, so getting a microeconomics question wrong was okay, Alvin said:" its SUPPLY, people. blahblahblah*droning on*"
HA!the only science student in the bloody tutorial class, and he gets the question right! Serves you right for answering blindly and following the answer of someone you know, and not someone with logic! Just because the girl was someone you knew and I wasn't you blindly follow her into the deep pits of wrongness, and not my logical deduction!
Erm. Yea. Hey I am NOT over reacting okay..this is how my tutorial class works. Me against all of the other puny fresh-out-of-college amateurs! Science against business-minds! the only fella with a 19__ starting digits in his monash ID against the other 21___ starting digit people!
Score 1, ME! whoot!
