|demam mengikut cara saya|

Daripada meja Dr. Eduard Edwin, PhD Western Illinois University,


Wah, wah, wah, dah lama sy tak goyang punggung menghadap komputer menulis entri blog, busy bebenor lah katanya...hahhaaa. Okie kali ni nak cerita pasal demam...demam??? Kenapa demam??? Sebab sy baru je kebah sikit dari demam, baru sembuh sikit. Demam ni banyak fasa2 dia, samalah kalau kita nak buat something kan, takkan lah kita nak trus straight to the point kita boleh buat benda tu, kena ada sebelum dia juga. Memandangkan kat USM sekarang ni tgh ramai orang menderita penyakit demam berjangkit ni, sini saya nak cerita pasal fasa demam okie. Tapi sebelum tu apa maksud demam??? Ni merupakan maksud demam yang saya dah melayukan dari Wikipedia:

"Demam merupakan salah satu respon sistem imunisasi tubuh terhadap jangkitan virus ataupun bakteria dalam usaha meneutralkan jangkitan tersebut."

Fasa 1:

     Fasa ini merujuk kepada permulaan kita nak demam. Simptom2 termasuklah bangun pagi je, hidung macam tersumbat, pastu berair plak tu, geli geleman aku. Tapi tym ni badan masih berfungsi dengan baik lagi, cuma yg bikin choi tu sebab hidung tu, mengganggu pernafasan. Kalau kita tak nak tarik pun tak boleh, sebab kalau tak nak tarik mukus tu, dia akan jatuh macam air paip...yakkksss!!! (Tym tulis ni pun imagine sat benda ni, pastu meremang bulu satu badan, bergegar kegelian). Lepas tu tym petang tu plak, dia okie sikit, tapi pabila malam menjelma, haaa, tu lah bila saya kata, the real work begins. Maksudnya, benda tu akan menjadi semakin rancak, tym ni tekak dah start kering, gatal, dan sakit. Kalau ikut kamus badan saya kan, kekadang pabila tekak sakit, tapi hidung tak tersumbat, itu petanda esok pagi akan demam, tapi kadang2 tak selalu terjadi mengikut norma kedemaman badan saya ni; saya tau mcmn badan sy berfungsi, tu yg sy tulis camni. Tym nak tido tu, kekeringan tekak tu akan start menjalar ke bawah; tym ni kita baru stat nak cari ubat2 tahun lepas, tak pun minta ubat kawan. Tym ni lah baru stat nak cari kain2 buruk buat lap atau sembur mukus kluar...hahhahaha. Rasa lega bila dah sembur, tapi lepas tu ada balik, geram aku. Mata dah start berair dah, mata berkaca kalau saya, muka dah merah padam macam nak marah. Kadang2 suhu badan tym ni tak naik lagi, tapi esok pagi baru akan naik bagai nak gila. Kipas dalam bilik: confirm level 1@2 je, sejuk katanya.

Fasa 2:

     Fasa ini adalah fasa utama demam, sakit yang teramat sangat. Okie let me rephrase that, tak lah sakit sangat cuma rasa tak selesa. Badan confirm lemah, nak jalan pun tak larat, suara pun dah berubah menjadi seksi sengau (dalam kes ni: saya), hidung lagi tambah sumbatan, kena tarik banyak2. Pastu suhu badan naik, kalau kena angin sikit je, confirm akan menggigil mcm gempa bumi. Mata macam baru lepas menangis, tak pun mcm sentiasa menangis. Apa yang kita fikirkan satu je: nak tido. Nak rehat banyak2. Kalau kita batuk kan, kedengaran bunyi kahak dalam tekak, pastu ludah kluar; bila batuk je mesti rasa gatal sakit. Tym ni lah kita balik2 pegi tandas nak bersihkan hidung yang tersumbat. Nak belajar pun susah, takleh concentrate sebab fungsi badan tak berfungsi dengan baik. Bila hampir nak malam, benda ni akan jadi teruk, selera makan completely hilang, walau mcmn kita paksa diri kita nak makan, kita takleh nak habiskan makanan tersebut. Minum je yg kita larat, sebab tak guna banyak sangat pergerakan dan tenaga. Tym ni lah kita start nak tido awal. Tym sebelum sakit, amboi, bukan main lagi FB, chatting, tgk movie atau TV series smpi pukul 3, 4 pagi, kekadang tak tdo langsung. Bila start demam, insaf, dah bertaubat, telah kembali ke jalan yang benar, yakni tido sebelum pukul 1 pagi..hahhahaha. Sebab nak rehat banyak katanya, lepas kebah sambung balik kan...hahhaa. Sebab badan terlalu lemah, kita tido confirm tdo mati punya. Tapi tym ni lah tubuh kita reset semula suhu badan, dan proses penyembuhan bermula.

Fasa 3:

     Bila bangun pagi je kita akan rasa segar balik, dan kita notice yang suhu badan kita kembali normal, dan kita rasa sihat sikit. Tapi tym ni tubuh still lemah lagi, mata still berair, dan simptom utama fasa ni adalah deria bau tak berfungsi langsung!!! Serius sy katakan, kalau kita lapar pun, dan kita nak makan, kita xda selera langsung sebab kita tak bau makanan tu so mcmn kita nak rasa makanan tu kan. Deria rasa bersangkut-paut dengan deria bau, sebab tu lah tym kita sakit, atau hidung tersumbat kita takkan dapat rasa makanan yang kita makan. Dan awal2 pagi kita bangun, mcm ada something yang tersumbat kat tekak, then bila kita batuk, rupa2nya kahak, dahlah banyak lak tu, berair pekat, geliiiiiiiiii!!! Tapi xpe sebab fungsi badan kita dah berfungsi dengan normal tym ni, so kiranya offset lah benda tu kan. Cuma yang tak best tak dapat nak rasa makanan tu lah kan, tu yg choi sangat tu. Dalam fasa ni, sedikit demi sedikit kita akan gain semula kekuatan badan kita, so bila malam menjelma, kita boleh buat kerja2 yang tertangguh yang kita takleh buat tym demam. In other word, kita akan gain tenaga penuh badan kita bila malam menjelma dan dalam masa yang sama, mata kita takkan kembali berair lagi. Back in full power, ceh...saja nak bagi dramatik sikit kan. Overall fasa ni adalah fasa kebah demam, tapi sikit je kebahnya.


Ada fasa lagi sebenarnya tapi sy baru smpi fasa 3. Nanti esok saya akan update lagi...chiaw...

|azam tahun baru|


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 to all Earth's 6 billion ++ population. Akhirnya setelah terlalu banyak suka dan duka, pahit jerih perjalanan di lalui bersama, kita patut bersyukur kerana sekali lagi kita dapat memasuki satu lagi era yang baru dalam hidup kita, era 2011. Whether this new year will be joyful, prosperous, or damn straight unlucky, we are the only who are able to carve it, btul kan??? Bukan orang lain, tapi kita sendiri, so penuhi lah 365 hari dalam masa setahun ni dengan aktiviti yang berfaedah, ewahhhh...

Soalan paling famous setiap kali datang new year: apa azam tahun baru??? Acap kali kita mendengar soalan ni, tapi jawapan yang diberikan tetap sama. Ada orang ni kata nak diet bagai nak gila lah, ada yang kata nak belajar rajin2 sampai masuk universiti luar negara lah, ada yang pakat kata nak dapat boyfie/girlfie yang hensem/cantik lah, dan pelbagai lain jawapan yang diberikan, kalau bukan jawapan sendiri, jawapan orang lain, lantak kau lah, asalkan ada azam sudah. Hasilnya??? Ada yang tercapai (walaupun terlepas setahun kemudian), ada yang hampir tercapai, ada yang langsung tak dapat2, sedih. Ada yang mmg usaha lebih nak capai azam dia, tapi bila dah lepas sebulan dua macam tu, dah takde mood dah, macam orang tua2 kata, 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam'. Ada juga orang ni yang langsung takde azam tahun baru, serah pada takdir jawabnya. Jawapan artis gtu.  Tapi apa2 pun, gud luck untuk orang yang nak merealisasikan azam tahun baru dorg, walau mcm mn pelik pun azam korg. Bagi yang takde azam tu, jalani hidup seperti biasa, okie...

Azam saya??? Simple:

"When I'm sad, I stopped being sad, and be awesome." - Barney Stinson


Ni merupakan kata2 dari karakter How I Met Your Mother. Seriusly aku mmg dah jatuh cinta dah ngan HIMYM, TV series yang diminati ramai, hahha. Yup, bila aku sedih je, aku berenti feeling2 sedih tu, and then I'll rise up from the sadness to the awesomeness. Tak guna sedih2 kan, kalau ada banyak lagi benda awesome yang korg boleh buat. Still single lagi??? It's okie, at least you are free to enjoy the world, live life to the fullest katanya. At least give time to yourself untuk fikir kan siapa diri korg sebenarnya. Sedih result tak naik2 lagi??? It's okie, jadikan itu sebagai motivasi untuk korg usaha lebih, tak pun ubah cara belajar korg. Sedih kawan tak suka korg??? It's okie, dengan populasi manusia 6 billion ++ di muka bumi ni, tak mustahil you boleh cari at least 1 kawan yang menyukai siapa diri korg yang sebenarnya. Tak dapat duit yang banyak??? Kita hidup di dunia ni bukan nak bawa duit pergi ke alam sebelah sana, tetapi amalan yang korg buat kat dunia ni, btul kan??? So xyah nak sedih2, duk kat bilik sorg2 dengan pisau kat tangan, haisshhh. Train yourself to be awesome instead.

Tak tau dah nak kata apa, baru bangun tido sbnrnya ni, so di lain hari, di lain masa, di lain en3...orait

Happy New Year!!!

|first day, first class|

The day has finally arrived, the day that I've been waiting for. Usually I'm dreadful when the semester is about to start but I have a really good feeling about this, considering that this is my last semester and I can't wait to finish it. How did it goes??? Tell you the story.

I've been thinking that my posts are too long so I decided to get straight to the point rather than creating a novel. Since LSP402 - Scientific and Medical English is not going to start classes until Jan 3, so my next class today is at 2.00 p.m., which is Linear & Integer Programming. But since I've been watching Gossip Girl Season 2 until 7.00 a.m., so I've decided to get some sleep first and then at 1.00 p.m., I'll get up and be ready for classes. But I woke up at almost 2.00 p.m., so in a hurry, I just brushed my teeth, considering that I already took my bath early in the morning. Hitch a ride to my class with my roomate (without helmet) and I was 7 minutes late, but fortunately the class was about to start. Review on the lecturer, Pn. Che Rohani Yaacob: she needs to be aware that her students including me are falling asleep at the sound of your little voice. You need to project your voice a little futher so that the whole class can hear you. Your class is not big enough, just a mere 20-30 students, but you make it like we were in a lecture, unable to hear your voice. And be more...hmmm...cheerful in the class, alright???

Next class: MSG356 - Mathematical Programming taught by Dr. Joshua Ignatius. If Dr. Teh Su Yean, my C++ lecturer is the definition of hotness of all the female lecturers in the School of Mathematical Sciences, then Dr. Joshua Ignatius is the definition of handsomeness of all the male lecturers in the said school. He decided to change the class from BT138, G03 to BT204, SoMS, and instead of 3 hours lecture and 1 hour tutorial, he decided to have 2 2-hours lecture and tutorial at the same time, 3-5 p.m. and that means my Friday are free. YESSSSSS!!! I love it!!! Thank you so much. Review on him: small handwriting, and I think he is the only lecturer who try to convince his students to drop his class, so that when he got 4 students left, the class is no longer available and he's free to do anything he wants. Lame excuse, and speaking of lame excuse, he asked me in the class, why the course is my second choice? I said that the previous course started at 8.00 a.m., and what a lame excuse that is. But luckily they buy it as a joke...hahhahaha.

Well, it's not that bad at all, and I think it's off to a good start, if only I sleep well. 

Cheerssss

|review: station one|

Imagine you paid RM 7.90 for a half cup of cappuccino, and another RM 15.50 for a meal that tastes like...almost tasteless??? Well folks, welcome to Station One, a cafe on the edge of Queensbay that is going down like hell in this my ever first review of the place where I eat, but instead of filling your belly with ambrosia rather than butterfly, it fills your pocket with butterflies. Such a waste of money, and your time there. Wanna know the story???

It was a boring Sunday, waiting for the time to pass, so I went to QB for a nice meal. Round and round I go, went to KFC, but the house is full, went to the restaurant below, but it's too crowded there, so I decided that I'm going to burn my pocket with a nice but expensive set of meal. Got to enjoy your life to the fullest right??? So I've decided on Station One, and there I was, ordering a nice cup of cappuccino and a grilled chicken chop rice. So I've waited and waited and when the cappuccino came, I am so excited but the moment my lips touched that cup, I knew this is not gonna be a nice meal after all. Proof:

After the foam is scooped out, and I drank like three spoonful of that shit...

There, do you see it??? They filled half of the cup with foam, and there you have it, a half cup of cappuccino that tastes nothing like a cappuccino at all. Seriously, it's bad, and I'm thinking Starbucks is even worth your money than this.


Next on the menu: grilled chicken chop rice, and do you notice that I didn't capitalize the first letter of that meal??? Yeah, 'cause I don't have every respect for this thing; the rice is horrible, it looks plain, but to be nice, the chicken is good, but not awesome. More surprises: 

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

What's that in the circle??? Owh yeah, HAIR!!! Seriously, don't they have any sense of hygiene at all, or some kind of ethics when preparing the meal??? Thank goodness, it's not even armpit hair or worse, PUBIC!!! Now I'm going to puke...


I ordered another drink, hot chocolate, to wash all those horrible tastes from my taste bud, and well, it is nice. So how much it burned my pocket today???

RM 15.50 + RM 7.90 + RM 5.50 + service charges RM 2.89 (BULLSHIT!!!) = RM 31.80!!!

And I am so disappointed. Hope the manager read this, and if you do, don't forget to leave a comment, thank you. But to be fair, I had a great time today; physically the place is not bad after all:


The scenery there.

The deco is nice, and I like the stage there, for bands to perform. Now I'm thinking The Echoes should play there. See the first picture there, a mural on the wall??? There's a quote that says:

"Stranger is just a friend that I haven't met"

which implies that it is a great social place to hang out, except that it's not really a place to hang out when the meal is...ughhh. But it's my first time there, so who knows maybe the second time I get there, maybe the meal is not so bad after all. Stars to give:

2.9

Cheersssss!!!

|full result|

Today, the full result of last semester exam is out and on the air. Everybody was like talking and buzzing about it: some happy, some don't and others, well, it's better if they keep it to themselves. Me??? I couldn't be happier but before I spilled it out, let me tell you a story of mine that I have told a few.

Do you know that when some people got excited about something or nervous about it, or they think about it too much that the notion about that particular something evolved into a dream??? The same thing happened to me; that something is my RESULT, and that dream is my FULL RESULT. I was dreaming the other day, not sure what day it was, but I think it's 2 weeks or a week before the full result came out. And what I saw in that dream is not really a nightmare, but it's not a good dream either. I got:

Minor: A
Major: C and D.

I was shocked that I got a D, and I'm not happy, which is the reason why I was excited and I kept reminding everyone that the result is on 20th Dec, because I can't wait to see if that dream is true or not. And when the result came out, let's just say it did CAME CLOSE, but NOT CLOSE ENOUGH. So here is my full result:

MAT251 - Introduction to Operations Research: C
MSS302 - Real Analysis: C (the hardest subject so far, as it involved thinking CRITICALLY, while I'm better off suited to APPLIED thing)
CMM321 - System Analysis and Design: A- (thus confirming my choice of the course in USM is wrong, and I should change to Computer Science instead)
WSC227 - Pengurusan Acara II: A (given by Unit Sukan for my three years service to them)

Looking at my result above, and thinking back on that dream the other day, I was surprised and a bit shocked, especially on the part that I got at least a C right. It's like I can see into the future. Whoaaaaa, maybe I should open a divination business. Kidding, but that dream is not exactly a 100% right. In that dream I got an A in my minor, and it did came close in the real life - I got an A-, which is actually kinda good, and the part that I got a D, well, it did not even came close to it. And that dream never mentioned about Pengurusan Acara II, which surprisingly I got an A, even though I didn't sent that assignment (paperwork on Struktur Kejurulatihan, AND I HAVE NOT A SINGLE IDEA IN MY HEAD ON HOW TO DO IT!!!) they told me to. Well, at least it helped my pointer a bit. From 1.72 to 2.69, not bad, and the CGPA is 2.53. Gosh really need to study hard next sem.

Well, that's it for now, and I really, really wanted to do this since I first watched Gossip Girl last night:

~I know you loved me. X.O.X.O. Gossip Boy.~
