Can biopharm please speak in English?

I don't like don't like don't like!!

Is there anything wrong with simplifying a process using "normal-chemical-names" instead of the lengthy and bombastic-lookalike (when it's actually NOT) terms?

Anyways, "sluggish" is already my first name. Been zoning out everyday.



official kick-start of zone-outS:
Actually spent 20minutes searching for the animations that best describes back-to-work. But I found this instead: looks like I'm the dinosaur with the cake on the left!
FIY: this pic is already permanently on my desktop!



Let's see, these are what I've done as I was zoning out:

1) Finally answered to my erupting urge to blog (been surpressing myself since beginning of CNY by justifying with myself that the seemed-to-be most appropriate thing to do is to STUDY)

2) Finally, too, joined FaceBook. What a good diversion: if you can't blog, FaceBook then! Ohhhh... I didn't realise how much i've been missing for not joining FaceBook earlier! When Leah asked if Alicia had a FaceBook, she answered in the almost-offended tone: "of coz larh!! you think i'm Phuay Fhern mehhhh.....". Should I start putting more FATs into the dinners starting now? Maybe I should also bake more cheesecake, chocolate drizzled shortbread, puddings? People who know Alicia well will understand my intention.....

3) browsed various foodie-blogs are made Woh-Tip (Pot-stickers) using dumpling-dough made by MYSELF! (what's wrong with me?)

4) compared (time consuming) between recipes and came up with a "perfect breakfast muffin" recipe.

5) went to ebay (again, time consuming) to bid for Dear dear's valentine's gift.

6) In the mean time, searched through Ralph Lauren website to see the authenticity of the item that I was bidding for. (needless to say, SUPER time consuming)

7) started browsing through website to "PAT" potential-mother's-day pressie for mommy. (oh my gosh... it's only February now!)

8) went to BBC. uk's weather page to fulfill my initial intention of checking on Glasgow's weather in this coming 5 days. What seemed to be easily-accomplished within 2 minutes was made complicated, as I went on to check on weathers of Dundee (what has it got to do with me?); Kuala Lumpur (as if it's going to differ much?! as if it's going to affect me?!); Johor (Don't ask!); Muara, Brunei Darussalam (typed "muar" initially becoz that's dad's kampung, but Muara came out instead); heck, I even searched on Maldives!

9) Imeem.com: superb free-streaming of musics!

10) checked BodyShop online because of the e-newsletter that they sent me.

11) checked on online-flowers booking.... was I thinking of sending a bouquet to myself when I bunuh diri for failing Pharmacy?

12) Youtube Iron-Chef, really crappy as the show is biased to the max! Regardless of how good the challenger is, the Iron Chefs (konon larh) still win! Nevertheless, I've covered these in half-day: Battle Pears and Chocolate; Battle Eggs; Battle Noodles; Battle aubergine (check this out as is the one of the RARE ones where the challenger won); Battle Foie Gras (yewwwww, before this I was pronouncing it as it is, but from the show I learned to pronounce it as Fuah Grah.... *blink blink*... erm... my distractions are .. educational??!! *Nod* *justified!*); Battle Jumbo Mushrooms; Battle Sushi...... etc etc

13) --------------------------------------i think 100)-ish?

ARGGHHHHH!!!!

Oh, did I mention that I'm currently at the irreversible, irreparable daily rates of at least 3 series of desperate housewives; 2 series of crunchyrolls (dun care whether it's cantonese; korean; japanese; or tagalog!); and lots of iron chefs!

perhaps I shouldn't list the tv-craze out, because ... isn't it normal?? ;P

HAPPY CNY!!

As I was telling Voon earlier, "looks like we've redefined the impression of studying-overseas". Perhaps not dad and mom since they know the degree of syok-syok-sendiri-ness that we are having here, but aunties and uncles actually thought we're going to eat maggie mee for the rest of CNY!! KAKA! puuhhhh leeeaasseee!! Maggie mee is supper larhhh!!

I'm just going to put a summary (OOO... am so organized) here so that I'll know which pictures I should be hunting to upload them later after our BK-Fusion V-Date later.....

On CNY reunion night, we had a 9-course dinner, and 1 of them had 4 dishes in it (4 seasons)!! Oh yes, we've also got super-small-eaters on board: LeeYin, Ally, Christine, Fionna & SuAnn. Can i conveniently include Ming as well? (she's so going to kill me) We were so full that we actually walked to George Square in shorts, flip-flops, and a Genting-ish jacket (Note: we're in Scottish winter night). When we got back, there was another session to stuff (all food has lost its taste) ourselves with XinHui's bday cake. *burp!*

On first day of CNY, we had a CNY dinner party for the whole batch with our ang-moh lecturers and batchmates.

On 2nd day of CNY, we went out to celebrate XinHui's belated birthday at Ichiban japanese noodle cafe at Queens Street.

On 3rd day of CNY, we had our bahagia steamboat followed by Bailey's. Ohhh... will definitely post pictures of this as SuAnn was sooo flushed! Eng mama is definitely going to ask her to stay away from this bunch of friends! bye bye klang seafood....

Seems like there's no difference between CNY in glasgow and malaysia! haha.

Fhern to Ming's rescue!!

This was supposed to be a "short" comment in Ming's blog in my attempt to clarify her "straight" preference for jantanSSS. Haha.

But it turned out to be so freaking long for a comment that I'd rather transfer it here to be a post! Ming, you can start thinking where to belanja me dy!! Heh Heh!

-cut and paste-

HAPPY V DAY DARLLINGGGGGGG!!!!!!! muackssssssssssssss!!!

Ah Fhern to the rescue to clear ming's reputation... people, she's straight gilerrrrrr... trust me.

As I was still blur and lost after our kayu-lecturer's workshop (ghee, i forgot what workshop we went thru... kaka sorry daddie mommy for wasting your money!), ming's "radar" got alerted, mata-buka-besar-besar-ed, & SUDDENLY dragged me to FOLLOW so closely behind a mat-saleh with cute ass (coz I've only managed to see the behind) I think it was in the Royal College?

Oh well, it was only for a glance that the guy was classified by Ming as "love of my life" & "Leng Chai! Leng Chai!" & "oooooooooo......". Immediately, people around us stared (perhaps with symphathy: Asian gals never see guys before) as we almost traced the guy RIGHT into his lab.

1 hour away to our V-Date! Happy valentine's day DARLING!!!
