I’m LIVING with IMBECILES OF DIRTY SORTS!

This is a ranty rage post with explicit words, and the picture below is not suitable for people who are meticulously clean& tidy and for people who have weak stomachs.

You have been warned!

:: behind those close doors and corridors lurks something unmistakably foul ::

I live in a unisex Kost@ hostel, i got a cozy room and for the rent i pay, it is quite spacious from what i’ve seen so far.
There are facilities shared,
eg: kitchen and laundry room (thankfully there are no other common places to share!)

But living anywhere, be it a kost or rental house, as long as it is not with your family or better friends… the other people you live with can be irksome.

Living in a kost has it downside…

Mandarin Oranges

the oriental fruit
like round ornaments hanging from Christmas Tree
filled with Vitamin C

bountiful harvest it is
where the spring is
such zesty sweetness

that bright orange ball
that delights us all
for it is a sign that Chinese New Year is here!

it is a symbol of gold
given to everyone on CNY
to share the good wealth

but NAY…
how can we distribute golds
that has gold diggers?

Pardon the badly put wordplay… but i couldn’t resist the phrases in the head.

These pics and info i got it from an email.

Chinese new year is drawing near. When buy Chinese oranges please beware of
the worms inside. These worms are very similar to the texture of the orange
and therefore can only be observe if you look carefully (long sighted person
may not notice).

The Chinese government had in fact made effort to destroy hundreds of tons
of these oranges and compensate the farmers for these. But however some
culprit may still sell it illegally. That’s why we need to be careful.

Whether the worms is harmful to the human body or not is still questionable.
But generally if few numbers are consumed it should not make any harm
according to doctors. It is advisable to be careful about it.

The worms are the exactly like the flesh of the fruit! There’s not much colour contrast to tell the larvan and the pulp apart. Please be warn… because for me, i don’t have the habit of starring at my fruit intently before putting it in my mouth, i just chomp, chomp and gobble, gobble. It’s CNY after all, my attention will be everywhere not at the fruit.

Reflect, Resolute, Remind

:: Rich people’s wonderful display of fireworks ::

No amount of shivering or pilo errection seem to be keeping me warm. It is getting too darn chilly in Malang, never will i thought i would say “COME SHINE, GO RAIN”! Brrr….. I won’t survive in the cold countries i think.

So how was your new year?
Mine i spent it quietly, away from the hustle and bustle of people trying to be somewhere, get somewhere or in the urge to do something fanstabulous because it is NYE after all. I’m satisfied having to spent my time doing one of the mundane routines that i do with my friends, the business kept us away- hence spending quality time with them was how i ended my 2008 in comparison with last year dinner at Royal Priesthood Cafe and out of the spur hitting one of the nigh spot in Malang (which the entree was too freaking expensive)! Entertainment prices increase in two folds when it is the Holiday Season. Money suckers!

I said goodbye to 2008 by:

1) Going grocery shopping after exams- my area on public hols is one of the saddest place you don’t want to be at. There
won’t be any eateries open because of the public hols! Back home, no such thing as all eateries closes their business,
this is the best time to earn some dough.

2) Went to the saloon checking out the latest hair sense. Gotten myself a shorter frinch…. only to convince myself after
midnight that i look terrible in it. I seek consolation that my hair will grow. sigh~ i realise i got a bald spot! Damn!

3) Make instance Payasam with the girls, turn out too watery and had a sudden realisation that NYE’s is the only time
where we can go out for late night supper! My Kost@hostel closes at 1am on NYE only.

4) Finally played with my treasures that i kept for 2 years! Haha only to find out that my friends are too chicken when it
comes to firecrackers. Haha.

::Malang- is easy to get all sorts of firecrackers and fireworks::

5) Watch rich people playing Fireworks in the sky! Beautiful! There is fireworks display at the stroke of midnight that
will last till an hour or more, pass two years i didn’t watch it. Geez… i don’t remember what i did on my first NYE in
Malang.

:: it rain stars at the witching hour::

6) The two cups of cold coffee that indulge at Teras Cafe really is really good! Hazelnut coffee is reccomended! That i’m
still so wide awake.

7) Had tete-a-tete and laugh so much on reliving childhood past.

Ijen always have spectacular show of fire works! Makes me green in envy because it makes my fireworks look ~BLAH!
There is not much to reflect on what happened in 2008, for i don’t believe in regrets, nor do i keep one. Let the bygones be bygones and not repeated again.
I will not forget the memorable 21st birthday celebration with the few close friends =)
Bromo trip with the girls and going around the crate for the 2nd time.
Visiting Bali and soaking in the culture.
Keeping to my word for being the total opposite of that senior Chen.

As for resolution… i’ve never kept one or make one. But i guess i should to a target in mind… wth… i’m too lazy.

:: late orange sky ::

I kept a small vow of not going anywhere for THIS year to celebrate the ending of a new year or the arriving of the New Year. I did not clubbing or boozing, total clean and spend thrift. Aren’t you proud of me? Lolx!
To my friend’s dismay, in less than 11 hours i went out. She told i’m not the homely kind. Which leaves much to debate.

I went over to MAH place because i promised her and i’ve been sought out by her delightful mom =) I’ve finally made BATIK CAKE again I’ve been meaning to make for them for quite some time. Hah… they love it!

I WONDER IF YOU GOT MY MSG!!!
Dear CHOW YUN FATT,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Words can’t be lay out on how much i have to say. HOPE u have a great one and
L.O.L !

TRuly Yours~

Going.. going… going…

…. MAD…..

exams are sharply around the corner. I feel the need to buy time! THere is so much to read yet so little time! Suffocating here!!  Pharmacology with whooping 12 lectures to read, seminar on antimicrobial drugs, seminar on critical appraisal on pamphlet, Lab reading!! Public Health exam on Before and After UTS!! Pathology Anatomy Lab exam with Theory coming as well!! Presentation on TA proposal!! WTF man!!

I’m Dying Insanely inside!! HELP! HELP HELP….. *drowns*

I wish i was having Major Depression (Unipolar) so that i can escape. Or at least blame on the depression and do badly! WTF… alright… should stop this nonsense. Instead of taking Prozac@ Fluoxetine i think i want some Dopamine! Dopa enhances memory, concentration and problem solving! In need of those now.
