this is why you shouldnt get any tattoo

life is meant to be filled with problems and obstacles.
kalau takde problem langsung, itu kita panggil afterlife (provided that you get a spot in heaven lah).

problems will constantly arise.
if you handle them well, and find a solution before it's too late,
you might get some time to put your feet up and relax before you need to deal with the next problem.

tapi,
untuk procrastinator macam saya,
memang tak best lah.
problem yang tiga bulan lepas tak settle lagi,
suddenly ada6345654758 problem baru that needs to be solved.

Sebab tu orang cakap jangan tangguh kerja,
degil, tak nak dengar,
sekarang kan dah terpaksa cakap 'I told you so' dekat batang hidung sendiri.

It seems that all i do these days are talk about my problems.
I bet korang penat nak baca.

It sucks though, having to handle all kinds of masalah.
It sucks even more when the one person who never fails to make me forget all about my problems is 2 hours away from me (1 hour plus kalau bawak kereta 180km/h).
Hehhh.

Anyway.
Im supposed to be finishing my poster for my Final Year Project punya presentation.
And even though it's supposed to be completed, and printed and laminated,
I haven't even finished the bloody poster.
Instead, im googling random stuff.

I found this on the net and it seemed appropriate dengan tajuk perbincangan hari ini:
MISTAKES.

Ini adalah gambar gambar tattoos gone wrong.
You know, ive always wanted to have a tattoo of a butterfly on the nape of my neck.
If only it wasnt prohibited by Islam,
dah lama dah i ada rama rama terbang kat leher.

But i pretty much dah berhenti berangan ever since i saw these :

ok ok ok.
ini paling PHAIL sekali.

comel kaaaaaan.
wahahahahhaa.

Pesanan Kerajaan : Jangan buat tattoo dekat parlour yang dodgy. Unless kalau kau banyak duit spare nak buat laser removal in case anything goes wrong.

Pesanan I : Kalau nak sangat jugak buat tattoo, jangan ambik gambar susah susah Godzilla Ultraman la segala. Buat gambar orang lidi cukup. :)

is determination really the key to success?

it's the examination season.
of course i'm determined.
more so, as compared to all the other seasons (not so much next to the holiday seasons tho.)

and today, of all days, i am even more determined.
you might say that its because ill be sitting for my last paper tomorrow.

but, oh dont get me wrong,
im still the lazy ass Tasha that you all know.
that much has not changed.

im being rather contradictory, no?

let me explain (oh yes here it comes):

most of my housemates will be graduating this semester.
meaning, upon their last paper, they will come back home,
jumping and singing (on key, i might add) and well, rubbing it on the rest of our faces.
tee hee hee. (no no im not being bitter)

yea yea, im happy for u lot yadda yadda.
but then again, it simply reminds me that i have not one sem, but two sems left being stuck here.

and as i do not have much to celebrate come the end of this paper,
i was trying to kid myself into believing that it's a big deal,
finishing this semester without getting killed mid way.

and so, before the exam season began,
i made a plan to wear a kebaya to answer the last paper.

as you all know, this is what my hair looks like now.

no prize for guessing who the parrot is.

and for the past papers, ive been wearing a beanie to hide the red streak from the hounds of security guards.

im no fashionista, but even I know that kebayas and beanies, simply dont go.

and this brings me to the purpose of this post:

instead of focusing all my energy to study for the last paper,
i focused my determination to go out and find a packet of black henna instead.

and here, i am, writing this post, still refusing to read up.
heheh.

and tomorrow, i shall answer the paper, in my kebaya, with black hair,
and i shall come back to the room singing (perhaps a little off key) ,
and celebrate the end of the exam season.

pembelajaran sedang dilakukan

ok. rasanya macam dah lama tak tulis post pasal pembelajaran saya di menara gading.
(ok. thats a lie. i dont think there ever were a single post about my subjects in here).

and macam jealous pula baca blog orang orang yang letak course code subject kat blog.
(unfortunately, i cant do the same cuz ive never been rajin enough to find out those VAB3412 thingamajig)

So today, im going to break its virginity (eh, eh).

Raya is in 5 days time.
My birthday is in *ehem ehem* time.
(hoho. ni konon konon nak cakap saya tak pancing suruh ingat. sebenarnya nak korang buat research cari pengisi ehem ehem yang tepat!)
And yet the workload is driving me nuts!

Nobody's fault.
It's all mine.
padan muka,siapa suruh tangguh.
(shuuushh. orang lain diam. saya sorang je blh padan kan muka sendiri. orang lain buat, saya sembur dengan ridsect)

I have got :
1) one assignment for Structural Dynamics
2) one assignment for Design of Offshore Structures
3) two assignments for Ocean & Coastal Engineering
4) two tests to study for
5) some Final Year Report to clean up on

all has to be handed in before the raya break. and considering im planning to balik on Thursday, that would pretty much mean i wont get to sleep this 2 days.

(siapa nak belanja White Coffee Ice, angkat tangannnn dengan penuh ikhlas!!)

sujud syukur sampai dahi lebam

This might not sound much to you strangers.
But the people close to me would know how much I'd KILL for this.
(weyy tak tipu. kalau bukan bulan puasa, serious sanggup bunuh orang)

Tapi rupa nya, tak payah bunuh siapa siapa.

Sebaaab.
Ta-daaah.



Intern dapat 4 flat!!!!!
Wooohoooo!

You have no idea how much ive:
begged
stolen
lied
pretended
acted
argued
played the sympathy card

Just to get by.
You have no idea.

p/s : saya nangis tersedu sedan sebab serious tak sangka.
pp/s : ok, sekarang boleh rai kan dengan main Zuma sambil lap air mata.

there's no use crying over spilt milk unsaved report

As of today, my blog has turned one! Whippee! :D

Happy Birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Happy birthday
Violent Violet Volkswagen

Baby, here's to our one year anniversary and its 370 something post babies. :)

So yeah, now you know im that geeky girl who sits in front of the pc all day and blog about life instead of going out and enjoying it. Ta-dah!

Ive been out of touch this past few weeks tho,
i wrote a 60 page report and on the day that im supposed to submit it,
my pc died on me along with the unrecovered pages.
So i've to start all over again from page one.
Here's to another few days of skipping classes and 3 hour naps. Tch.

I'd better get back to my report now.
It wont let me rest til i see the end of it.
Gahh.

P/s: was complaining to a friend that Tronoh is a desert. Blazing hot in the day, and freezing cold at night. And when asked where would i stay if given the chance and i answered bumming by the beach (read: Bora Bora or Hawaii) he called me a hypocrite. Duduk panas complain, tapi berangan nak jadi budak pulau. Pfft.

Pp/s: oh, you heard that we kicked Celtic's ass, didnt you? Next game, bring it on Portsmouth.

frustration ey

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great", he said : "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Darn you error messages! Just you wait til i upgrade my RAM, harddisk and all those other IT jargon i cant even think of. Kalau kau buat hal jugak lagi lepas ni, aku tak tau la.

MERDEEEK-dush kena tembak dengan komunis

cheh, ingat kan dah habis presentation, dah merdeka.
so much for the habis-presentation-tak-payah-datang-kerja myth ive heard before.
tipu betul.

kerja lagi banyak, ada la.
wtf weyy, kena kerja until 1230 midnight??

ni kalau tak dapat A ni, tak tau la.
hishh.

heheh.

p/s: saya kan yang banyak complain tuu.

weird dude at the office

this past few months, i have had to walk around and take the reading for noise, temperature and light in the shopfloor.

so obviously, during these rounds, i was equipped with some sort of bulky gadget.

each time i went round to take the reading, there is always this one dude, whom, upon seeing me whill shout :
tolong adoi tolong tolong. perut saya sakit. doktor tolong saya.

he always has this comical look on his face.
and the way he shouted out his request, i cant help but be reminded of one my colleagues, Kuchai. hehe. Kuchai jangan marah. XD

after almost 13 times being confronted with his weird, and i hope what meant to be a joke of a statement, i still dont know whether or not to find it funny.

it's like, sound level meter aku ni, ada rupa macam high blood pressure punya machine ke?
and he keeps saying that he has stomachache. my face looks like a toilet bowl ke???

oh for fuck's sake.
im screwed.
:'(

tolong la , intern tinggal lagi sebulan je kot.
tolong la kasi aku habis.

money comes in handy when ur bored at work

yeah so im also bored at work.

but unlike these dudes, i dont have that many currencies in hand.

so, instead, im posting this on the blog.

:D

artwork at work. :)

talk about being in denial!

I had to load up on the Health issue for the HSE board at work.

And i came up with 'Worrying Facts about Smoking!'

(yeah talk about being a hypocrite!)

Below are the facts and the behind-the-scene conversation between me and my colleagues (who, of course, are smokers)

FACT : 50% of Malaysian men are smokers.

ARGUMENT : yeah and out of the other 50%, half of them lied about smoking in the bloody survey.

FACT : In Kuala Lumpur, the ratio of men to women smokers are 5 : 1

ARGUMENT : and yet the ratio of smoking in this office is probably close to 150 : 1 . I dont think so we are in KL.

FACT: 60-75% of cigarette smoke will be inhaled by non-smokers.

ARGUMENT : Thus, it proves the point that its always better to smoke than not to.

FACT : Only 50% of smokers get to live to reach the age 70.

ARGUMENT : And is that not better than reaching 90 and having to live with arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, dementia and senility instead of lung cancer. Same shit, only worse baby.

FACT : Malaysians spend RM1.5 billion each year to buy cigarettes.

ARGUMENT : dont look at it as wasting money, look at it as generating a HUGE portion of the nation's income.

*winks*

smokers should be on debate teams.

LOL

the murderous task of the day is...

to take the noise reading of the production floor
all in all, there's a total of 1326 of readings to be taken.

and there i was complaining a month ago when i had to take the light reading.
i thought 640 readings are a whopping number.

salah rupanya.

My Life As an Intern

Is this electrics? Or is it mechanics?
Either way i dont care, they both really reek.
Of engine, compressor or even turbine
Just the sight of it all, makes me wanna whine.

I walk up and down the factory aisle
As clueless and stupid as a dumbstruck child
They explain all about welding and X-Ray
and i'm not listening to a word that they say.

:)

dear Design of Steel, Timber and Prestressed Concrete Structures.

Darling,
I know we have been together for over 5 months now,and it has been great while it lasted.
But im afraid I have to end it.
It's not working out anymore.

The first few months that we got together, it was still alright.
All sunshine and rainbow.
But now, im not so sure anymore.

I cry more than i smile when i'm with you.

Please dont get me wrong.
I adore you and i understand that you just want the best for me.
But i really can't take it anymore.

It's suffocating being in your presence.
If i could pretend and play along, i would.

I tried finding ways to make it easier, but i dont think there's any way out.

I'll see you tomorrow.
For the last time.
To say goodbye for once and for all.

Please honey, i know this might hurt, but please just let me go.
I know you would probably want to drag this longer for another 6months or so.
But i really cant take anymore.
Just let me go and move on.

Im sure you'll find someone better.

I'll see you tomorrow and ill bring all of your stuff along with me and give them back to you.
Please, just let me go.
I'll be forever indebted to you.

Love,
Tasha
