a word a day (issue 1)

Making up new words.

I like to make up new words.

Making up new words. It make me feel like i contribute to society(on top of the research i do on solder material which will one day, revolutionalize how mankind smashes their portable electronic devices such as cellphones, discman, mp3 player and the ugly looking ipod, elk!). But more often then not, its most probably that i just mis-spell the word (on msn/icq). -_-

The first word i will be making up today, that i will be so generously sharing with u guys is,

Bluffer
noun

1. A person who mislead or deceive.
2. A person who impress, deter, or intimidate by a false display of confidence.
3. A person who deprives others of gossip which they have promised to talk about, but fails to deliver and should be dragged out onto the streets to be tickled, fed with bowls of wasabi (through the nose OF COURSE), made to drink Luo2 Han4 Guo3 juice, have cockcraches/lizards (depends which the offender fears most) put into his/her pants and forced to watch local variety shows over and over again.

Bonus issue 1+:
Dame
adj

1. Damn gone wrong.
2. Synonym as Damn.

e.g. Dame YOU! Dame it! Dame!

Green Light!!!

Finally, after many breathless moments, actually, 45 minutes of it, of presenting my analysed results of my experiments, my supervisor has given me the green light to go ahead to do the simulation and start drafting the chapter on discussion!!! WhooHOooo!!!

2 of my lab-mates have just given us a treat at the nearby seafood restaurant. It was great man! The hot plate tofu, fried cod fish, boiled prawns and pork ribs were FANTASTIC!

Now back in lab again, will start rearranging my results and start simulation soon! hopefully in the next 1-2 days can test drive already. I have a staggering total of 54 simulations to run . . . . . . . . gasp!!!

Bad Day for SEM

1030am, i went to the materials lab to polish my samples before coating them with Au(GOLD) to help conductivity when placed into the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). All seems easy. Polish my specimen. Etch it with chemicals to make the microstructure more define, coat it was gold, and there you go! SEM sample ready for use. NOT!

Whats suppose to be a 1 hour task lasted for 3 WHOLE hours! Because the Au-sputtering machining went haywired and deposited a thick layer of Au instead of the usual thin layer. Then i had to redo the polishing and etching, oops... over-etched...so re-polished....and Opps.. over-etched AGAIN! ARGG~~~!!! So after 3 failed attempted, i finally got them done and coated my samples with Au.

This only left me with 1 hour to chop chop settled my lunch and prepare for the SEM session.... which turned out to be 2 hours of frustration of hide and seek and focusing nightmare!!! >_<

*Stress alert activated!!!*

COKE TIME!!!

Sigh.... glup glup glup....

Burb!!!!

*tummy bulges out*

-_- Grosss.....

Love Letters

Last Saturday, I went to my friend's place to Bai4 Nien2. Basically just another hanging out session with lots of laugh and eat and playing of PS2, and of course, LOVE LETTERS! Those with chocolate twirls on the inside. Yummm.....

I got so addicted, i almost single handledly finish half the can >_<

But the addiction didnt stop there. Yesterday, during lunch, i went to the nearby supermarket and bought a tin of it for myself! And guess what, the addiction was spread to the rest of my lab. Within 2 hours (the time taken for me to leave my tin of love lettes UNPROTECTED) it was half empty!!! Gasp! But its good to share good things with friends :)

But things got too far. This morning, even the TIN was gone!

-_-

I didnt even get a chance to take a photo of the empty tin.....

CNY SHOPPING!!!!

YESH!!! TOday, I went Chinese New Year Shopping!!!!

Thanks to my Dad's generous contribution to my save-the-scholar campaigne, I HAVE MONEY TO BUY NEW YEAR CLOTHES!!!

So first things first. office wear. I needed to go some clothes that i can use for future interviews and possibly WORK! >_< So i roamed around in Taka to look for them. To my disappointment, they either are too flowery, or too old fuddy duddyly. -_-" I tried a plain white shirt ( official formal office wear ) from Daniel Hecter, and i look like an 50 year old OLD MAN!!! >_< the cutting is all wrong man!!!

Then i move on the G2000. Vowing that i will not purchase any shirts from that place as i always tot it was too common and the tops are too plasticy, i went there in search of a decent (CHEAP) pair or office pants, and maybe the simple plain white top i was looking for. So i grabbed a pair of pants, and asked for a white shirt. But the sales assistant asked me to try on a pale PURPLE SHIRT!!! for size....... ........ i obeyed reluctantly. But to my suprise, the pale purple shirt looks quite good. gasp!!

Ok! listen me out here. i KNOW what it seems like, but neither did i ever dare to imagine i would look ok in purple. But it DOES look not bad. Maybe i like that cutting, but like my faithful friend said, maybe i am more suited for warm colours(watever that means) so maybe that purple goes. nevertheless, i like it. And after testing several stuff, finally to go with a plain pair of dark navy blue (almost black) pants, AND THE PURPLE SHIRT!!! Heh! ok guys, u guys gotto trust me here. My taste of clothings isnot THAT bad righT? RIGHT? right??? ..... hello......? hello?

But the BEST BUY was actually a pair of thin soled sneaker i got from Tangs. I have ALWAYS been looking for a pair or red shoes to go with my jeans. Always tot it look good. But after missing the chance to buy the one from Nike ( the one without shoelace, elastic type... er...nevermind), i have been searching high and low for sooo long. And thanks to "BAKA" who apperently have HIGH HIGH HIGH (translantes = EXPENSIVE$$ expensive$$) taste in clothings, for the first time, suggested i try somethign actually affordable. And thats the 69.90 dollar pair of RED SHOES!! ^_^ I love it! Honestly, i would have never tot of trying it as it might be too LOUD, but after her persuasion, i tried it on, and Liked it a lot! :) Thats why i like to shop with girls. They always make me try on stuff that i will NEVER even dream of trying, and SOMETIMES, just sometimes, it turns out to be a good buy :) So, i am although a sick, but a happy shopper :)

*prancing around with my red shoes*

Oh! i also just trimmed my mane again at shinji matsuo.... so so la..:( i never like trimming my mane :(

Being Sick

Being sick is no fun. When you are sick, you cannot do what you are donig well. In my case for instance, I am suffering in lab mugging my thesis. And i cant even SUFFER properly now, thanks for my flu. I cant bang my head on the wall properly, I cant pluck out my hair strand by strand properly, I cant even curse and swear at my project and results properly. So being sick is no fun. It takes out the joy in being tortured by your thesis.


Aachoo!!  Posted by Hello

I IS SICK!

*Sniff Snifff*

ARggggggg!!!!!

>_<

First a sore throat, then today, or more like mid of last night, a horrible runaway nose and cough. The week before NEW YEAR!!!! ARgggG!!!!!! It always seem to happen at this period. Its like some predestined prank that has been cast upon me at the period before the Lunar new year!

Its a curse i tell you! I am almost certain, that those whom i have visited during the previous new years had come together to place a curse on me, just because i have cleared out all their BA4 GUA1 everytime i visit them. I mean WHAT IS THIS?? Wheres the spirit of giving here? Even if i dont finish them, it would grow moldy after a while and they would have to waste it into the trash. I am actually doing them a favor. Sigh, unappreciative bunch of people... sigh. What has the world become.

*Cough cough*
*Sniff Snifff* ARrggggggG!!!

>_<
