i gotta say though that the time difference thing SUCKS! there's always lots of activity and catchup to do when i wake up in the morning and check in but during the day you all go to sleep one. so i'm waiting and waiting and nothing...

:(

wake up!! wake up and talk to me!! (i'm going to dinner in a bit so i might not be on until a bunch later...)

yeah, i bought something for dalady - but a little embarassing lah...

i went to a jewellery shop - bought the cheapest earrings i could find - the dem lady told me saphire on while gold - since so cheap i didn't bother reading the slip that came with it. gave to to dalady who obviously read the slip and told me that it's just a crystal - somemore only gold-plated... :(

i had a dreadful holiday.

had a deadline on the 26th and therefore my christmas plans to return to home town went poof!

then for new years, had plans to attend a friends bbq, and he cancelled at the last minute, so i ushered in the new year all by myself, reading deception point by dan brown (quite good too :D), all alone cause my gf had gone back to penang for a friends wedding, and my last minute attempts to rendesvous with her there went poof as no transport there. thus new year also poof... some more so long no see you start missing you and all that made everything so much worse...

but you;re back :D

sheeesh, sounds like you're working too hard but 26th deadline is just horrible. my xmas was nice - sat on a beach, got a nice tan (can hear my mother screaming "hitam dah anakku!!!"), read Angels and Demons, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. missed a big blizzard up in the midwest and northeast (HAHAHAHAA) but then got back to ohio and had to go up to indiana for a few days. vin's dad is in the hospital and prognosis v bad. so that was quite depressing la. going back to indiana this weekend to spend more time with vin's dad in the hospital... quite sad ending to the cool holiday weeks...

but i'm back! :D i understand - that's me at 1 PM my time 2AM your time and no one is up. i'm like SOMEBODY WRITE SOMETHING!!!!! ;)

sila, i can only mimpi about being tall.... imagine the pain living here where everyone is taller... nightmare when go for parades or open air shows etc... apa pun tak boleh nampak! but so far lucky, no ex-bfs telling me what not to wear... (they knews me well enough that if they told me not to do something, that's probably what i will do - within reason of course)...

buying clothes also nightmare... jeans are always inevitably too long, clothes sizes impossible to find and when i do find them, it comes with premium prices...!!! :eek:

waaah until i came to the US i thought "I hate shopping" because i could never buy anything in malaysia. jeans had to be tailor made for me by the time i was 15-16. can you imagine? shoes?? jangan cakap la i wore branded men's tennis shoes to school by form 3. teachers cannot bising because i say honestly - if they can find a pair of white canvas shoes made by bata or whoever in my size, i will WEAR it. i promise...

now i can go buy stuff that i can wear!! although i STILL even here have to buy extra long pants/trousers/skirts otherwise still too short. can't wear capri pants - bad memories of wearing my pants until too short, cut make into capris, then cut some more and make into shorts so my poor parents don't go bankrupt to keep me dressed...

i hardly go shopping here - a good thing, save some money... unless there's sales and only some shops like topshop or miss selfridge will have my size as they do petite size... even petite sometimes is terrible - size 6 (i.e. for people weighing about 6 stones) also too big, especially the top, and i won't have a hope of wearing that unless i get implants!! but luckily, not too often, so there's some hope afterall...

otherwise, when i'm away in france or italy, that's when i do some shopping... italian girls are so slim (apparently they don't eat much! all the good food and lack appreciation)... so it's great to get my sizes for a change...

another trick up my sleeve when clothes size too big - i chuck them into tumble dryer and work it away in the heat to shrink them - work like a charm... :D

i always wanted curly hair - and my hair is straighter than a ruler. can't even hold a curl. my mum's hair is lovely and wavy and i always wanted that.

but i am ok with stuff now, straight hair is lower maintenance. and height has its advantages - can reach for stuff on the top shelves and stuff. :)
yeah, there's always something not quite perfect, but i have to say i'm happy being me...

curly hair - not easy to maintain... my hair got some kink in them so maintenance is nightmare... just recently cut them off to spike them up! hehe... just for fun... now the growing period, susah susah.... and the last time i tried to straighten my hair - the thong burnt me!!

i've definitely come to the realization that if i had been given curly hair, i really wouldn't know what to do with it.. :) no talent in the hair ideas department. now i just let it be long lah - shampoo and condition, and let air dry. end of story. no need to worry. i had short hair for a while - and short hair is so infectious - you keep wanting to go shorter and shorter and shorter. i almost shaved my head (but could hear my mother disowning me if i went that far) so i got a buzz cut in '98 (like when people join the military). teeeerrrible laaah. spiky straight up hair, can see my scalp clearly. luckily, fast growing hair and by 2-3 months after the disastrous buzz cut it was modified into a short boy cut sort of thing.

do you guys know what a Cryptoquote is? that's where there is a Quote attributed to someone that has been encrypted so you sit down and try to figure out the encrypted phrase. sometimes you get a key (i.e., X = A) but in the local paper than vin gets it doesn't give you a key so you have to figure it out from scratch. this is vin's favorite thing to do int he mornings with his coffee. anyway the one he solved yesterday was this:

well, i can't even say if it's a good thing or not... ireland is becoming like a big chinatown all over... there are lots of people coming in from chinese on student visa but actually setting up (illegal) businesses and to work... so the friendly irish are becoming somewhat less tolerant than they used to be... luckily since i've been here for years, i speak differently from the mainland chinese, so less problem i guess.... and i'm also very lucky to live in relatively cosmopolitan social group (many of my friends are foreign exchange students or postgrads/postdocs from abroad).... so really learned a lot there...

i think you mentioned a key point - "learned a lot". you can experience the world but if you don't learn from your experiences it will be for naught. i had a few malaysian friends in college (and i'm still friendly with them) but for the most part i tried to fit in to the normal student life, ate with my non-malaysian roommates and only went to malaysian student gatherings for things like raya and CNY and stuff. (well, for the free makan, i will show up ;) ) but if you surround yourself with everything the same as you would have had it in malaysia and not tried anything new or different, then really might as well stay in malaysia or whatever your home country was, no?

house still smelled of it this morning at least!! :D i like the kerisek. it's what makes the rendang special. but lucky i had some kerisek frozen leftover from raya puasa. that time i went and made kerisek by hand, including hand grating the coconut!! :eek: wahliaooo that was tough...

forgot to answer this question. i don't usually have a kitchen at my disposal because i travel about 45 weeks out of the year outstation for work. i work at the client site and wherever the client is is where i am. there i usually stay at a hotel. so at the hotel, no kitchen, must tapau or eat out la. not as much fun. i love playing in the kitchen!!

i agree boss - well i'm getting married this may. so that part is coming along ok. i agree to take 2 years lebih kurang to enjoy my marriage. after that will think of the anak. it's a big responsibility lah - in many ways i think if i kawin and have children directly after start kerja, i won't be thinking so much. but now i've been working so long and every month you see your paycheck disappear into normal things.. itupun belum got kids. so a bit scared lah. then want to make sure that other than giving the kids the necessities, have to be there for them. like siew jang says, as the mommy the kids will want to ask questions and all that. my mum was always there when i had a question, and i want to be able to be the same way to my (future) kids. so now that i'm older and more aware of what it means to be a parent, it makes it more scary lah :) but i do want kids though. just need a bit more time to prepare mentally and hopefully financially :D

ops, sorry, got carried away... now, how can i explain....

our brain has a reward centre, and it is stimulated by a type of neurotransmitter called glutamate... glutamate is a type of excitatory neurotransmitter... many drugs that produce the high feeling causes prolonged glutamate release from the neurons... and this is also why addiction occurs, since the brain reinforces this feel-good feeling...

as for cannabinoids, i'm sure everyone have heard of cannabis... well, cannabis contains cannabinoids but human (and animals) also produce natural cannabinoids in their bodies... this is really meant for controlling the sensory of pain... e.g. if you're in injured in critical situations, endogenous cannabinoids dampened down the pain once you passed a threshold, therefore allowing you to concentrate on other task for survial... cannabinoids are also used in medical field in treatment of chronic pains etc but unfortunately, it's being exploited in terms of drug addiction...

i hope this explanation would clear things up a little.. if still not sure, let me know...
