Alas, boredom has led me back to this wretched blog. I swore i gave up writing for good..until i got hurt which resulted in me being confined to my bed for most of the day.
So lets re-wind to about a month ago.
I was in the Uni gym, pretending to be iron man. I ran 30 minutes on the threadmill, 10 minutes on the speed cycle and a further 20 minutes on another cardio machine of some sorts. Went on to lift weights that were way to heavy for me. And this was my first decent workout in weeks thanks to deadlines etc.
I woke up the next morning feeling awfully sore, especially in my calves and chest. Typical post workout sensations i thought to myself. But then theres this unusual pain on my lower back, and it seems to radiate to my left butt cheek and left thigh through the calves and into the ankles.
Very unusual. But i convinced myself that its just a pulled muscle of somesort..hey..what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? So i went gyming again! Doing the same routine albeit abit hindered by the muscular and back pain. Running 4 kms was tougher than usual and resulted in me getting charlie horse-calve- cramps.
The pain has just begun.
Over the next few days i faced excrutiating calve cramps whenever i walked, an extremely annoying muscle restlessness and general discomfort whever i sit and agonizing dilibitating pains whenever i got up from sitting.
I tried whatever i knew, from counterpain to massage, all failed. Out of desperation i tried Ibuprofen and that seemed to relieve the pain for 4-6 hours.
I went to the doctor after enduring weeks of the pain. He took one look at me and said " You have Sciatica."
What? Whats that?
"Sciatica, S-C-I-A-T-I-C-A, here you can google it, but essentially it meants your sciatic nerve is irritated by a herniated disc on your lumbar"
My mind focused on the words Nerve, Lumbar, Herniated and Disc. And i knew that was bad enough!
So fast forward to today.
Here i am spending 75% of my day on the bed, doing useless things like studying the art of infantry warfare and reading history books. I have a scheduled appointment with an orthopedic surgeon this friday at University Malaya Medical Centre. I just hope that he doesnt recommend surgery. My australian doctor told me that surgery was a last option, and this opinion was seconded by my physio who was convinced that the injury was due to bad sitting posture =.="
So lets see what the surgeon says!
Best scenario:
"aiya, small case la yours..should be in a few weeks you wont feel the pain ady la..continue taking your current medication and dont go clubbing ok?."
Worst case:
" Im sorry to say that damage to the L3 and L4 is pretty extensive....MRI confirms herniation....surgery highly recommended..no gym for a year post surgery. And no clubbing ok?"
Please pray for scenario one!!!!!

Trapped in the quiet solitude of constant worries i find myself humbled.
I am not what i thought i was, nor am i what i want to be.
Flashbacks of past memories haunt me again.
Shame, disappointment and all thoughts of negativity.
To strive for what is right in a world of wrongs is laughable.
I have always had a strong belief, that i have the ability to soar, soar as high as i want to.
Believing with all my heart and soul that i and i alone, am the master of my own destiny.
In the joy of success i have abandoned all that is important.
In the pursuit of perfection i have hurt others around me.
In the arrogance of knowledge, i have turned on my own creator,
and in the belief of my own ability, I have misled myself.
So now as i sit in realization of my own neglect, i realize that i am nothing.
I cannot do it.
This will be the death of me.

Update
Hello. Its been a while? how are you..yes im talking to a wall, welcome to my monologue.
hahah ok enough random scribblings..
Have been extremely busy this past week, and the weeks before that as this blog can testify.
I've just completed a presentation on immunohistochem which sucked just about that much of my life. Heres some nice photos to look at..
ooo spleen cross section XD. Stained with oxidized diaminobenzidine and counterstained with haemotoxylin. Butterfly looking thingy in the middle is the PALS surrounded by primary follicles and marginal zones.
This is....a strip of bacon! its cheaper to buy it in central market than in coles supermarket. +_+
Actually its a section of the lamina propia, and i dont think it can be found in any supermarket.
ok enough with brown boring pictures..
I still have a few urgent things to pass up this month. A completed daybook for micro, a literature review and full length report for genetics.
then final exams and sem over! Muck about in adelaide for a week plus plus then fly home to msia, 2 weeks in KL, xmas in kuching as usual then back to my beloved hometown of miri.
Ok, now i want to bitch about how much weight ive gained.
7kgs to be exact..want to see how much 7 kg changes someone?
i show u..
Before 7kg weight gain:
me and my ex-wife rachel, after she left to uk we got a divorce coz she cheated on me on some random brit lad she met in a chem eng pub crawl.Thats the reason why i gained 7 kilos..because i was so depressed
7kgs later.
This is judith lee. shes not my wife but somehow she looks pregnant..not mine thats for sure...at least i think so..oops. hahahahaha!(Judith if u ever read this please dont kill me, consider ur slippers FOC haha!)
ok, short term goal, 10kg loss. Long term goal 20-25kg. *rocky theme song starts*
Ok lah, enough for today..ill give a picture guide of my work lab soon..if i have the time. Chowz

Day 43.
It has been 43 days since i first arrived in Adelaide.
Today i was having one of my emo moods again in the morning.
No this isnt a love story, ill leave that topic for now. Its about my decisions for the future. I have been thinking alot lately about what im going to do after next year. I have always wanted to do medicine and would be my ultimate dream to be accepted into a graduate programme.
But the thing is, I dont feel i have enough brain juice to do it. I have always doubted myself in this aspect. Im struggling for this final year in biomed doing double majors. And i suppose it will only get harder in med school, that is if i can get in.
Then theres the issue about the amount of time i spend, graduating only at the age of 25/26. Ill be 3 years behind my friends. Then theres the expenses etc etc.
Most importantly, theres the admittance process, in which i need a degree of good quality(second upper or better), high GAMSAT scores, interviews etc, and a very illustrious cv of which my greatest achievement was probably......oh wait , i have NONE.
So as i was thinking about all of this on my morning bus ride to uni with my characteristic blank stare into nothing.(besides checking out the cute girl a few seats infront of me ocassionaly. She super jual mahal and smokes . What a turn off. )
ok back to the story...
As the bus approached one of its popular stops on the north terrace, near the convention centre and casino, an elderly man came abroad.
Instinctively i asked him wheather he wanted my seat. He politely said no, and told me that he wasnt going far. So i remained seated and continued staring out the window. Suddenly he asked me " So are you off to Uni?"
I said yes. He then asked me what i was studying and i told him biomedicine. He couldnt hear me that well and assumed i was studying medicine.
This were his following words
" Medicine eh? Thats a very good field to go into. Ive been volunteering in the hospital myself for about 13 years. I help out in the food kiosk every wednesday." he told me proudly.
Holy shit, this frail 70plus year old man is a hospital volunteer?? I thought he was going there to be treated, not to serve others!
So i left the bus and the old man feeling not so emo anymore. Its inexplicable, im not sure why. But somehow i was kinda smilling to myself after that short conversation with a random elderly man.
A few minutes later i clocked in for my lab placement in the molecular life science building. Wasnt expecting a good day at all.
Dr Ben left me mostly on my own today, trying to use some of his troubleshooting procedures to save the cDNA batch which i worked 2 weeks to produce, but seemed to not want to replicate in the PCR machine.
So i carried out the procedure, using another template, diffrent buffer, different enzyme yada yada. Let the gel run for a few minutes and processed it in the big computer-UV light thingy next door.
I really was expecting nothing to come up on the screen. Coz everytime im left alone to do stuff i always screw up one way or another.
Lo and behold. An image like Jesus's face on the shroud of turin came up on the screen. And indeed, it was nothing short of a miracle.
To some of you, this would mean absolutely nothing. But to me, those pathethic smudges proved that i have successfully cloned FMR1, FXR1 as well as the FXR2 genes.
You guys may not sense the wow factor in this. So to put this in perspective, we anticipated troubleshooting this part for at least a few weeks, when we nailed it in 2 days.
Hearing the heaps of praises from Ben as well as his marked increase in optimism for this mini project was all that i needed at that point.
Todays experience really lifted me. It started with the random encounter with the old man, and ended with the successful wetwork in the lab. How does this tie to my future?
It just showed me that things dont always go badly. With a little optimism dilligence, a dash of luck ..good things are bound to happen.
So ill just keep my head up, and stride on. Hey, the impossible does happen.
Thanks for reading this meaningless post, till next time, see ya.

Another saturday.
Another week is over, week 4 of the academic calendar is about to start.
Week 3 was kinda hectic with me getting sick on wednesday, missing 2 lectures in the process (thank god for audio recordings.)
hectic because i had to pass up my lab day-book, which seemed rather empty a few days before the due date..there was supposed to be 2 weeks worth of experimental data inside..some things never change :)
Speaking about week 4, i have a big paper on Hepatitis B viral treatment to write -due on week 8, not a single word has been written.
And i have another literature review about my mini project due around then as well.
AND my project is going to Kick off this monday. Havent read the protocols which my supervisor sent me.
SO,
with a whole pile of shit facing me what do i do?
Buy lotto.(Similar to 6D)
My ticket out of hell.
Why buy lotto?? Because if i win 4 million aussie dollars i wont have to pass up all those stuff i just mentioned.
Unfortunately, I didnt win.( well DUH!)
And i got a very stupid haircut, thats why im covering my face. Shit. Im not going to that chinatown barber again.
Me: Dont cut so much on the top ok.
Ah beng barber: Ok ok, I don't SCISSORS here.
I knew something was wrong when he cut my hair literally millimeter by millimeter..performing all kinds of funny scissors work and technique...@@
AH, nevermind. Cut already, paid 18 dollars for his lousy work.
Spent the rest of the day watching How I Met Your Mother and day dreaming about what i could do with 4 million dollars.
So heres a list of what i would do with 4 million aussie dollars IF I HAD WON today.
1. Immediately buy a first class ticket back to miri to tell my parents, meet up with friends. Fly back to Adelaide before monday.
2. Go to the motorbike shop behind my apartment and purchase my dream bike- Honda CBR 1000 rr
3. Ride my baby to the driving school, and pay the auntie 10,000 dollars to make me a license without sitting for the test.
4. Move out of the hostel, and buy a swanky apartment on North Terrace, just opposite of rundle mall. And like, 2 minutes walk away from school :)
5. Wait for the next weekend, fly back to malaysia. Pick up Phil from sandakan, connecting flight to taiwan first class. Party in taipei for the weekend.
yes brother, if i win lottery we will make our taiwan party dream a reality haha.
6. After partying and throwing money at pretty taiwanese leng luis in exclusive clubs, fly back to miri..make an annonymous donation of 1 million ringgit to St.Columba parish.
That way ill save myself from hell. Ok enough day dreaming. I want to do something more productive....like watching shutters for the 6th time.
Bye!

Tuesday Blues.
I should really be reading up on todays Genetics lectures. But it just cant go in..
SO lets blog! :)
week 2 of the academic calendar, and things are already heating up.
Let me share my sorrow with you.
here's some of the things i have to read tonight and the whole of tomorrow.
The first journal related to my lab placement. ONE of many to come. I think eventually i would have to cite a minimum of 20-30 journals for my project summary T.T
The title of this paper is " Contribution of mGluR and Fmr1 functional pathways to neurite mophogenesis, cranofacial development and fragile x syndrome"
I can fall asleep by just reading the title ZZZZ..and if you take a good look, you can see that its written by my supervisors Dr Ben Tucker and Professor Rob Richards as well as Professor Lidelli (i dont report to this dude.)
But the thing is, scientists love to make fancy names for things.
I summarize the title for you in Joshua's English.
BRAIN GROWTH IS AFFECTED BY TWO THINGIES CALLED mGluR AND FMR1
see? much easier to understand..
Its 11 pages of scientific terms and confusing pictures. Out of respect to my supervisors, i wont call it crap. Because they took years of effort to publish this paper.
But honestly, it gave me a very bad headache. Since i have to know the research subject quite well in order to participate, i had to digest every SINGLE word and picture. Wikipedia is SOO useful when it comes to scientific terms.
I have other stuff to read as well.
" Difference in Receptor Usage between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Coronavirus and SARS-Like Coronavirus of Bat Origin"
The only part of that sentence that made sense to me is "of Bat Origin."
It has something to do with bats! Yuhoo!
This paper is for my Infection and Immunity tutorial.
And then i have WHOLE STACKS of journals to read for Genetics..
ZOMG! SWT!WTF! KNS!KNNCCB!ORZ!
ok enough.
But i thank God that i finally found my soulmate to comfort me, to support me, to cheer me up when im down and to make me happy.
We understand each other so well, that its magical. That unexplainable feeling I get when our lips touch.
She makes me warm when im cold, and she brings me hope when theres none. I took me thousands of miles to find you, but it worth it :)
...
.......
.........
...........
..............
Oh my Carlton, I love you soo much.
Ok enough rubbish la. I have to read all that stuff i just showed you. Fark.
bye.

Battle of the Beers
Ok time for a serious blogging topic.
When youre a student in a foreign land, one of the most critical thing to do is to find the best booze in town.
So ive taken the liberty to sample some of the popular Australian brands..
INTRODUCING....
West End, Coopers Pale Ale and Carlton Draught.
We start with West End.
I first encountered this beer while watching an aussie football match in the stadium. Now i dont claim to be a beer expert, but all i can say is that this beer is relatively mild from what we are used to back home.
Taste wise it is more malt-ish than tiger and not quite as bitter.
The cheapest of the 3 beers, costing AUS$2.30 per 350ml "stubbie"
all gone!
Next on the list is Coopers Pale Ale
Personally this is my least favourite between the 3 beers. It is also the most expensive at AUS$2.90 per 350ml "stubbie"
I dunno why. I dont like the taste. I actually tried it at the recommendation of my canadian housemate who told me that it was the best beer in aussie. Not quite i guess.
So on to the final one.
Carlton.
This costs AUS$2.60 per stubbie. And in my opinion is the nicest one out of the 3. I really enjoy beers which are not very bitter and this is one of them. But what sets it apart is that nice malt taste. mmmmm.
So very OBVIOUSLY..the winner is carlton. (sounds like a badminton brand no??)
GIMME GIMME MORE!
-_____-
But to be honest, bottled or canned beers can never EVER beat tap beers la. Id rather spend money on good tap beers than buying loads of stubbies.
Public service annoucement:
"You better don't drink too much ah! because alcohol makes your brain stupid.."-mummy

Inspired.
It begins with the long and harsh silence.
When every hour is counted and felt, spent on useless whys and what ifs.
Then as the days and months pass,new memories will be made. And all the sweet happenings of the past, will slowly fade away.
Life becomes brighter, your heart feels lighter,and soon you'll find laughter.(hey that rhymes!)
And we begin to move on.
I will do as i always do, i will find somebody new.
And I hope sometime in the future,
you'll find your someone too.

Vivian Tan
FIRSTLY, so sorry that this is late. I have been rather busy with field trips and enrolment issues over the last few days.
Its not very often that people ask me to do a blog post for a birthday present so im not very sure what to write..so ill just write about the birthday girl haha.
A little history lesson.
I first met vivian when completing the first 2 years of my biomed degree at INTI Nilai.
september 2007 HAHAHA. Dr Ooi's Chemistry lab session doing some wetwork :)
My first impression of vivian is that she was a :
1. Quiet person
2. Shy
3. Well behaved
4. Well mannered
5. Lady like
That was before she opened her mouth.
After she opened her mouth, its a whole new scenario.
The revised version of the above list:
1. LOUD
2. Not shy/ Thick Face
3. Well behaved ONLY WHEN TIRED/ SLEEPY/ SEDATED
4. Well mannered when meeting someone new
5. Erm, no comments.
HAHahahaha.
Ok..enough making fun of you..its supposed to be your birthday present anyways.
To be honest, i had plenty of fun being in your company during the INTI years.
We were lab partners for semester 2. Tht pic was from Ms liew's MCB122 prac session, blood typing experiment hahaha.
The consequences..I remember you kept pulling your finger away at the last minute so i had to cheat you by shooting the lancet at 2 when i said id count to 3 hahaha.
And then there was tht trip to kuching i made..
Still remember this?? Bings, november 2007. MY FACE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING PAU WITH THAT CARROT HAIR STYLE @@!
and that random trip to midvalley @#%^^!$
Initially was pissed coz i felt it was a waste of my time..but i eventually cooled down haha.
Was it sometihng to do with pancakes or baskin robbins?? I cant really remember anymore hahaha.
we were closer in the early sems, but i guess we couldnt spend as much time after i chose 2+1. coz i Had to do much more hours than you did. And i was frequently in bad mood due to the workload.
Pimp daddy and his 2 girls hahaha. Jz kidding..with michelle and vivian. Note my unhappy face, there was a slight misunderstanding few hours before :)
Moving on..
Your birthday ,almost 1 year ago.
I dont know if you know, but it was my idea to surprise you in secret recipe. Me jon and XN bought the present collectively at sunway pyramid after much discussion and plenty of hassle hahaha.
The planning was so last minute. Ran around class to get everyone to sign this before class ended.Mine is just above the balloons on the left hand side :D
Secret recipe @ nilai. The guys hiding behind the counter for your surprise haha. Luckily the staff was sporting. XD. And look at chun hao! wtf..hahaha.
For once you were still and quiet. And the cake slices were handpicked by me! wuhoo!
Secret recipe, july 21st 2008.
Before you left, i remember editing your personal statement which was erm....challenging :D. It was so hilarious that i saved the edited version for erm, posterity hahaha.
here's some of it
SO SCARY! hahahaha. I knew i kept that stupid screenshot somewhere on my hard disk..
and so its been close to a year now since i last saw you in person. Time really flies huh. And by the look of things, we would probably only meet after we graduate.
A single blog post isnt really enough to list down all the stuff and shits tht happened. And like any friendship, weve been through many ups and downs. Fights and laughter, sadness and joy. Sometimes i wanted to kill you. Sometimes you wanted to kill me hahaha. But tht would never change the fact that you remain one of the most special friends that i have.
All the best for your final year. Study hard, don't pray pray. I might not be able to save you like i did for your case studies coz id be so fucking busy with my final year stuff as well @@. Believe you can do it. You're not stupid. and no, you're not retarded either . I honestly believe that you have what it takes if you dig deep and never give up.
okkkkkkkk i can hear you say " HAIYAH SUI BIAN NAH! HEN MA FARN AR NI AH BEAR! *STRESS*
oh ya one last thing..
Micheal says G'DAY MATE! all the way from Adelaide, South Australia. :D

here's some of it
With each advancement in the field of biomedicine, comes the need and demand for biomedical scientists. Personally, this field interests me mainly because of my love for Biology. I was born and bred in a town located in the heart of
what.total. BULLSHIT. HAHAHAHAAH
SO SCARY! hahahaha. I knew i kept that stupid screenshot somewhere on my hard disk..
and so its been close to a year now since i last saw you in person. Time really flies huh. And by the look of things, we would probably only meet after we graduate.

Day 6
Today began at 7.30, with me standing in front of the shower half asleep.
Went to see the course advisor and got a shitty timetable..(but no morning classes yay!)
Then i had a big breakfast before wondering around the uni doing random stuffs..
Headed to rundle mall around midday and waited for wendy to come, which was probably the most exciting aspect of what would otherwise be a very dull day haha.
Since we were supposed to meet at borders, i decided to have a look at what they had to offer.
Pretty impressive collection, and ive found 2 books ive been interested in.
The Mahabharata and also the Bhagavad Gita(which is in fact part of the mahabharata) :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The Mahabharata had a very complicated translation, so ill probably leave that for later, definitely gonna pick up the Bhagavad Gita tomorrow or whenever im back in town.
Met with wendy shortly after...was really cautious cause scared i got the wrong person haha. Much taller than i expected!
So we walked to chinatown, chatting a hell lot in between. Had hainanese chicken rice for lunch and it wasnt nice..rice was too gingery. I think the chicken rice in INTI dining hall taste better. hahaha..if i convert the price, that plate of chicken rice would cost me 21 ringgit while the dining hall one cost only 3.20 hahahaha okokok i better stop converting dollars to ringgit its not healthyyyyyyyyyyy.
After lunch Wendy became my impromtu tour guide taking me through Rundle Street right till the East terrace where we made our way to the botanical gardens before heading to the Art Gallery, stopping by Torrens river on the way.
Saw some modern art which were pretty hard to appreciate hahaha..some of the more classical ones were nice though especially the statues and carvings. Loved the east asian cast iron miniatures from india and thailand..awesome stuff.
spent a few minutes in the state museum which was next door and went to stop by the state library as well..wondered around rundle mall sumore till dark and made our way to chinatown were we parted ways.
Overall a VERY fun day, but the double blisters on the sole of my feet was proof that i mustve walked halfway around the world..
All credits to wendy for being a super awesome and fun tour guide, and thanks for warning me about hindley street hahaha. look forward to meeting up again soon :)
oh, the funniest moment of the day:
Wendy: erm, I thinkk thats north...*points south*
Me: No, north terrace is that way, north is that way *points north*
your sense of direction.....is..quite impressive. hahahaha. just kidding.
if youre reading this, ive warned you that this blog is rubbish :D
well thats it for now, and one last thing. Gonna buy a digicam soon so look out for more photos gracing this blog FINALLY!

Day 3
Day 3 in Adelaide..
woke up at 12pm( some things never change...) after being called by my sis. Went online to look at google maps and took a shower. Had liquid breakfast..no seriously, theres a drink called liquid breakfast for $2.
Adelaide is a nice place, not too busy and not too dull. And the weather is nice too. Not when the wind blows though...brrr. Add rain and youre gonna get frozen. Today was 12 degrees+wind and light showers.
Took the Free City Loop bus a.k.a 99C to the uni...like the name says, its free. Spent a good 3 hours in the central business district looking for various things and opening my aussie bank account. Went back to the uni to meet with yanie, wan xian and eugene to sort out some travel and sight seeing stuff haha.
Unlike you UNSW buggers, instead of clubbing, we Adelaide people get to see whales @ Victor Harbour *SIGH*
Budgeting here is difficult..food is expensive. I spent at least $12 just on food for today. Thats like RM 35..and im eating the dirt cheap stuff mind you..then i bought other essential items like towels and toilet paper, plus a LAN cable for my internet connection.
Slowly im adjusting to the culture here...
The mannerisms of aussie people are abit strange to the uninitiated...especially those of us who come from an asian background.
people here say "how are ya" alot.. and the automatic reply is " Im good thanks" no matter how shitty you're feeling..
Its not as if they expect you to tell them how you really are feeling.
Most of them are friendly, I greet the bus driver every time i board and thank him/her when i get off. Almost everyone does that..
The city is clean and well ordered. It took me less than 24 hours to figure out the layout of the city. Cant say the same for the Uni coz everything is in a mess!
All the Uni buildings have a brownish shade and made of either brick or stone. Alot of church like structures and cloisters which give it a medieval feeling. I still havent figured out the whole layout of the uni..its so unpredictable..union hall on one side, library on the other..and all of a sudden a huge ass science lab appears out of nowhere..
And they all look alike! argh..The signs are SOOO TINY and its only at the entrance of the building..so go figure.
Overall a very beautiful campus with nice buildings..you feel smarter just by standing there haha.
And the busses are awesome..never packed, mostly on time..never late for more than 5 minutes..friendly NON suicidal driver who actually greets you when you board. Taxi if fucking expensive but the drivers are good and professional. NON suicidal as well unlike those who work for the public transport system back home.
And on my way home from the grocerie store, i found a curious looking building tucked away in a small street right next to my accomodation..A BOXING GYM. HAHAHA. Im going for a free lesson tomorrow :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D.
lifes good :)

My Epilogue
Applause please.
My final curtain call is here, as the end of this illustrious chapter draws nearer.
In less than 24 hours i will leave this country to complete my biomedical science degree.
As i sit here pondering about what the future has planned for me, I can help but smile to myself as i reminisce about the past 3 months.
Its really impossible to write down all the great things only home can bring.
working out in a dingy gym, drinking beer with friends on the beach , going out to the countryside to enjoy nature, long conversations in friends houses under the influence of alcohol,playing darts in the bar, babbling endlessly about what the future may bring upon each and everyone of us.
But that is what scares me the most. Slowly we are growing. Most of us are at a transition age, Comming out of our teenhood to the realm of young adulthood. Soon some of us will have to take responsibilities. Commitment to jobs, further education and ofcourse families.
soon there will be a time when we can no longer drop by each others houses to have a drink, or talk rubbish. No time for the beaches with the campfire nights. No more staying by the lighthouse drinking beers and counting the various vessels and offshore platforms off the coast of our beautiful town.
But lets leave that for the future.
For now lets cherish the memories that we so carelessly forge out of stupidity and drunkedness. Let us celebrate our youth, and hold our glasses high, in a toast for our future.
id like to shout out to some of the people who have made my holidays a more meaningful one.
*************************************************************************************
To my sunway sweethearts:
Brenda( especially u! haha) michelle and jas, its been great meeting up together as a group after so long. Every summer comes with the same sense of excitement and this year proves to be the best one for me thus far. Brenda commin all the way to sarawak, road trips to brunei and all the crazy drama that unfolded. Priceless. Thanks for it all. Really look forward to seeing you girls again next summer!
To Lau:
Lau u are my 4 oclock buddy...cause i normally sign in the gym around 4 haha. Thanks for the gym company and all the funny shits that goes with it. Be it spotting girls in taman bulatan, or helping me get past that last rep on the bench.
And I also appreciate all those invites to thai bar and other parties XD.
Do take good care of yourself and do well in your studies. Ill be back in the gym next year..watch out for a dude with big biceps and popping chest with perfect 8 pecs abs, thats me HAHA.( as if...)
To The Geng Ucak Yang-Sik -Guna
Korang la nok geng paling paloi skali..tp mun sikda korang nang sik rock la kat miri tok. Gonna miss those gatherings on the beach..drinking beer around a makeshift campfire. Nights at the pub where we talk rubbish and darts. Most of all, in carlsons house (port) where each and every recollection would never fail to bring a smile to my face and laughter in my heart.
mun ngan korang nang sikda stress la..plan pun plan koboi.
(BAHASA BAKU MODE: ON)
saya amat berbangga kerana kita semua telah maju dan boleh buat planning sampai tahap menulis minit minit meeting bagi meng-sucess kan bbq kita pada hari tersebut. Hanya satu perkara yang saya tidak puas hati ya itu beer yang tidak habis telah diminum oleh housemate carlson dengan tanpa izin hahahaha.
to the girls: Irene, Genevib, Nadine and Rachel.
You girls have always been the emotional pillar for me. Somehow, its easier to pour out your hearts content to girls rather than guys. guys are far less understanding haha. You have no idea how much u all mean to me when you pulled me through some rough patches, especially you rach. And all those sharings we 3 had at one point or another haha. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Irene, please continue jogging eventhough we didnt go much this time hahaha. And Gen, do get out the house more often!! But don drink too much hahaha. Ill always remember that crazy night in thai bar. Nadine, you hav to stop chasing/ attracting your juniors. remember, they have to come through me.
rach, put that bottle of vodka down and go to sleep..good girl.
To Avery: I have nothing to say.
ahahaha im just playing. Next round of drinks in the Island is on me( if i graduate). I seriously think that we should make that place our second home. So that you dont have to drive home in a drunk state all the time. See i care for you buddy. Just like how i cared for you as you lay bleeding and wounded after that deadly motorcycle crash of ours.
when i come back in july, this is our drinks menu:
5 shots of tequila each
3 glasses whisky, dry.
various cocktails (minimum 4..)
Beer until we get KO
And lastly to Vince:
You found yourself a real rare one buddy. Take good care of her...or should i say it the other way around. hahaha.
Joyce, if u reading this, make sure he studies!! Beat him up if he doesnt. A girl who can drive a manual car is a strong one.
Ill see again next year bro, tower beer again till the lights go out haha. Do focus on your studies and get through ur adv. dip. Should be easier with her around. Regards to ur mum and dad.
************************************************************************************
I must say that juggling between exercising and hanging out is really tough. Going out = high calorie intake. And yes, as some of you can see, ive gained ALOT of weight.
But i reason it with this simple statement:
weight gained can be lost in an instant. Friendships celebrated and memories forged lasts a lifetime.
Till the next time i see you guys..
cheers.

N.O. Explode.
Recently, ive been interested in this sports supplement called N.O. Explode.
Its main ingredient is nitric oxide which is supposed to help in vasodilation, allowing greater blood flow to the muscles, thus allowing for greater absorption of other critical nutrients like protein and creatine which i am already taking.
As a science student, i try to be very cautious in what i put in my body, especially when it comes to sports supplementation.
The reason being that "supplements" are not required to undergo rigorous FDA testing (The Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency of the US government, and one of its functions is to test the effects of commercially available drugs, ensuring that they work and are safe for consumption. Unfortunately their jurisdiction does not cover supplements).
So basically the company can put whatever they want inside the box of supplements, with no legal basis for the verification of the ingredients and effects. Means that they can bullshit you and get away with it.
However, if the products are deemed toxic for consumption, and cases are reported, the FDA can take legal action against the company. This is the consumers only form of protection in the supplement industry.
So, I try my best to read up as much as i can before dishing out large sums of $$ for some supplement.
I found the following feedback about N.O Explode on bodybuildingforyou.com
Disclaimer: It was already in bold when i read it. hahaha.

NO EXPLOSION May 13, 2009 Reviewer: NO VICTIM from USA

Its main ingredient is nitric oxide which is supposed to help in vasodilation, allowing greater blood flow to the muscles, thus allowing for greater absorption of other critical nutrients like protein and creatine which i am already taking.
As a science student, i try to be very cautious in what i put in my body, especially when it comes to sports supplementation.
The reason being that "supplements" are not required to undergo rigorous FDA testing (The Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency of the US government, and one of its functions is to test the effects of commercially available drugs, ensuring that they work and are safe for consumption. Unfortunately their jurisdiction does not cover supplements).
So basically the company can put whatever they want inside the box of supplements, with no legal basis for the verification of the ingredients and effects. Means that they can bullshit you and get away with it.
However, if the products are deemed toxic for consumption, and cases are reported, the FDA can take legal action against the company. This is the consumers only form of protection in the supplement industry.
So, I try my best to read up as much as i can before dishing out large sums of $$ for some supplement.
I found the following feedback about N.O Explode on bodybuildingforyou.com
Disclaimer: It was already in bold when i read it. hahaha.

Cyst.
Im so jobless right now so im gonna blog about my Sebaceous cyst.
Whats a Sebaceous cyst?
Little wart like thingy which grows due to trapped sebum (oils+nasty shit) in the pores of ur skin.Read wiki lah..got nice explanation there :D
Nah...
It wasnt so bad until i accidently hit it during gawai.Trying to kill that damn mosquito which was hovering near my ear..
Thats when all the puss and blood started oozing out..and it grew larger, turned blackish-red. Its SUPER sensitive now due to the fluid build up..
Thus im going to have it cut on monday.
Yay!
Not going to let dad do it..coz the last time he removed a wart on my toe( Back in 1999), it was a circus. He convinced me that a cream would be enough to numb my toe while he burned it using a blowtorch. Obviously it wasnt enough. I trashed about screaming and the operation was aborted half way hahaha.
the half burned wart fell of my toe a month later anyways.

Happy Gawai everyone!

Signs?
Tuesday's dream:
I was waiting for a flight to London. Arrived in the airport 2 hours early, only to realize that i didnt have a travellers visa to london so i couldnt get on the flight.
Doesnt sound nasty right? But i swear the feeling was real. I woke up in cold sweat and took a few minutes to convince myself that i was just dreaming.
The theme continued yesterday:
I was boarding an air asia flight to LCCT, so that i could take a bus to KLIA and subsequently fly to London. I arrived in LCCT, made my way to KLIA only to realize that i didnt bring my check-in luggage.I forgot to pack the whole damn thing! I was travelling with just a backpack. And the flight to London was boarding. And i think i was going there to study..
Again i woke up in a panic.
The two emotions that the dreams had in common was that i was so relaxed and complacent, when suddenly an event happens which is so overwhelming and sudden that i absolutely couldnt do anything to fix the problem. I have honestly NEVER felt so helpless in my life.
It doesnt really sound like nightmare material right? But i somehow feel very very uneasy.
Perhaps its because the offers from University of Adelaide has started arriving( for 4 days now). Perhaps its because some of my friends have already gotten the confirmed offer asking for the deposit payment and visa approval.
Ive been spending most of the day watching my e-mail box waiting for that crucial e-mail from ms vanitha. And it has yet to come.
feeling antsy now. And those dreams definitely arent helping.
Especially if you've just applied to one uni. All eggs in one basket baby.
You have noooo idea how shitty this feels.

James Bond.
James Bond is the definition of being manly. He's got the car, chicks, confidence and cash. So who doesnt want to be james bond..I know I do!
But sadly, my name isnt James bond. Its Joshua Nuing.
And i dont drive an Aston Martin DBS V-12..I drive a Perodua kelisa or Proton waja, both of which belongs to my dad.
I dont have a well chiseled body(working on that ahaha), nor do i lay every single girl i meet.(mum would kill me)
And most of all, i dont have the cash to splash around chasing villians all over the world using private jets.
But lucky for u guys, i took the trouble to actually find out how much does it cost to be James Bond so that u wannabes can get as close as possible to the real thing. Im gonna use the latest bond movie as reference, Quantum of Solace.
Number 1. The Car
The car always defines James Bond best. In this case, its the Aston Martin DBS V-12. If u wanna be like James bond, u gotta have the car.
See, with this car, you'll never need to find parking when goin clubbing. Coz u just park it right there in front of the entrance.
0-60mph in 4.2 seconds
192kmph top speed.
and i bet it sounds really sexy too.
It costs: 160,000 pounds...my math sucks, but i know its nearly 3/4 of a million ringgits..not considering the import tax @@( which would probably make the car well over a million..)
Number 2. The shades
Next thing to have is considerably cheaper. A pair of aviators from Tom Ford.
This is what James Bond uses when he wanna act cool. You would look cool in it too. Especially if u wear it driving the DBS V-12 in the busy streets of KL.
It costs: USD $350 which totals to roughly rm 1000 la.
Number 3. The watch
The omega seamaster professional. If you have this, you are a real man. Because James Bond is a real man.
It costs: USD $3800....more than rm 10k lah!
Number 4. The Suit
To finish it off, u gotta have the suit.
His trademark suit is also by Tom Ford and i have no idea how much it costs. Probably a lot.U wear this you straight away become macho. Like super macho...
So guys, all you have to do is save rm 1.5 million and go shopping. Then you get to be james Bond.
I know i will.
In 10 years time..
or maybe 15..
