I feel so freakingly lazy to do my work. There's like 1 more FORMAL reports, 1 journal, 2 datasheets and tonnes of things to revise. There's also my room improvement quest! Gosh. Will try to do my datasheets, and some of my formal report by this weekend. And defenitely my journal 'cos I have to hand it in yb next tuesdae.
Let's see, what happened todae? Brought my instant pasta (which was from Aussie - excess). It's cold, its hard. Damnit SP, why isn't there any microwaves provided?! I'm thankful for the microwaves in RMIT man. Met my friend, who then passes me the photos that were taken using her camera. I look horrible on some of the pictures. *As always* lol. But it brings back memories. Sweet memories for me. I kept thinking about the trip. What happened, what we did and stuffs. Major HAIZ. I wish I was there, with them, fooling around, cooking, making a mess, lazing round and just be there. Still no pictures. Lazy, I am.

C \====/ (Benzene)
OH
So is this, COOH (carboxylic acid), an electron withdrawing or donating group? When I tried to explain it to my friends again (after asking another lecturer), I just can't! Felt lousy and inferior and stupid. Let me try to explain to myself (or anyone who's reading this) here.
COOH is an electron donating group when is attached directly to a benzene ring (as aromatic cpd). Because a benzene ring contains double bonds where one of them is a PI bond. Which easily attracts electron. Hence, the electron can 'jump' COOH to one of the PI bond in the benzene ring.
COOH is not an electron donating group when it is on an aliphatic chain. This is because the carbon in the aliphatic chain is stable enough, hence not needing any extra electrons to make it positive.
The problem is, I forgot is it donating or withdrawing that I should have mentioned above! Haha. See! Shall ask my friend again tomorrow.
That's all for todae class!

I ate waaayyyy too much todae. Yong Tau Fu then 2 Samosas when I reach home and few minutes later, here I am munching in my mum's Mee Goreng (newly improved and nice!). My kidneys, well the area around there felt hurt - till now, both. Scary :S Hope it'll go away soon. Been about 2 hours now. I just finished my Pharmaceutical formal report on Acetaminophen and Phenacetin. One more to go, this one is on Fragrance (Banana/Pear Oil). Hopefully I can finish my formal reports (as more is coming in) and my group data sheets by this weekend. And hopefully I can start painting my room next weekend! Haha. Will get confirmation about doing horizontal stripes on my wall. LCD tech is so... polymerish. I was kinda excited to study it. But after a few weeks... it seems complicated and kinda boring... *oops* Maybe it needs more time uh. Haiz... tonnes of theories! I've always like theories, but this is of a different matter.
What else is new? Nothing much really. Oh yeah!!! I finished reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Cool book but I kinda like Angels and Demon better. But many seems to prefer this that they even want to make a movie out of it! Well, Da Vinci is rather nice and as controversial as well... Both 5 stars. Can't wait for the movie. Heh. But basic storyline is almost the same for both. Hero got pulled into a scene unwantedly, hero saves the dae, hero gets the heroine, bla bla bla... However, what makes his books different and outstanding is the fact that he wrote on a story based on historical facts and facts that we never possibly could have thought to be! He looks at it more intricately, creating that mysterious and wandering feeling. I mean, I actually almost believed him!
TWO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOKS!

When I met my friend at McDonald's later todae, she asked me, "so you happy now?" I said "yeah, yeah..." Then my mind was thinking, was she refering to... then I gave a curious and unsure look and kept saying "yeah."
Sure, I'm happy. I am happy at that point in time. I am happy at that moment. I am happy at that hour. But that was it. I am happy then, because my group got our first choice. Nadirah was late, as usual. Dr. Cheng called out the groups and we started to go down when Nadirah finally arrived. We went down nervously. Felt bad to have left Edwin alone going down and felt bad to have pushed him to pick the ballot. But... Edwin, with his lucky hands (and fingers), dipped into the styrofoam cup last. There were 3 groups vying for the same topic. I looked at the stage B girls, an all girls-malay group (I think), they looked blank. Hence, I assumed that maybe they didn't get it. But who knows, maybe they're just acting cool. Then I look at the stage A people, whom I know but not well. They looked blank as well. Then I heard Edna saying that Edwin might got it. My heart stopped. Then he turned and shouted "YEAH!" I was shocked! He then proceed to shake our hands. I asked, "UH? WE GOT IT?!" He said "YES." My heart leaped a thousand mile. I was thankful yet, felt sorry for the other groups. Nonetheless, happy still that we got it. I was STILL in shocked. Went back to sit. My other friends said that I kinda look unhappy eventhough I got it. The only answer that I could give them was that I am still in SHOCK. Being in the first few groups to ballot. Wow...
Hence, our Final Year Project (FYP - also presentation) topic is, " Concoction of a zesty blend for potpourri oil." Hope I got that right.
But I also kinda want the "Producing Ethanol as a BioFuel from Food Waste". I always have a thing for environmental stuffs... Imagine us collecting food waste after lunch time. Hahaha. I don't really mind actually.
But now, what we have to think of is the kind of fragrance or smell that is ZESTY, yet nice. ;) Can't wait to start. Pray for it to be succesful.
My other friends got their chosen project as well! "Solid perfume with essential oils." Sounds cool right. We were also thinking of that topic too. I didn't notice but they did. Both of them wore BLUE (one of them was unwell). And my group was wearing natural-earth tone colour. Coincidentally. Hehee.
However, money-wise, producing a solid perfume has better potential than creating a fragrance. This is because fragrance, some just smells the same. But solid perfume... if you're the first to create it, you can copyright the formula or something. I guess.
Well yeah, so this is why I am happy when you asked me, my friend. But after that? Before that? It was like what you think, unfortunately not what you hope for. I do not know, maybe you can sense what my emotion at that time truly is. Or I managed to trick you with my laughter and smile. 'Cos I know you can read body language and voice control well. But you won't know anyway. 'Cos you do not know that I have a blog to read about it. = )

I am also thinking of buying some stuffs from IKEA. Here are some pics :
 Where I can hang my clothes, put my shoes, hang my unused begs, hang my caps and etc. Quite convenient but very EX. =(
Racks where I shall put some of my reading material and other stuffs.
 Gonna buy 2 or 3 to make the room feel bigger. Its not big anyway (the mirror that is).
 Beside my bed, as a mini table where I can put my mobile and other accessories after changing and books before I sleep.
 So I can put my lecture notes and won't be flying around everywhere no moree...

Hye. I am going to revamped my room... DIY. This sudden interest came after watching an episode of Queer Eye for The Straight Guy. I tried to print screen the newly-decorated home on my comp screen but I ended up just getting a black screen. WHY?!
Ok, so this is this is the FAB 5. Kyan, Thom, Jai, Carson and Ted.
Got hook to the show back in Melbourne. Great show, great ideas and great laughs. Its a total make over! Their 5 expertise are food, grooming, culture, home decor and fashion. So they TOTALLY change you.
Anyway, I am thinking of lilac white (ceiling) and fascination by ICI Dulux coloured alternately in vertical bars on the wall. I painted my room by myself before, which is my current colour = green. But I am only going to paint during the one week break I guess, so that I'll have time AND money. However, I am just afraid that it might not match my maroon ceramic tiles. Another option is orange theme. Since its going to be 2 coloured tone so... lighter and darker version of orange perhaps. Or barley white and sunset or desert orange.
I am also thinking of making my own frames, but then I thought, what picture am I going to put anyway ?!?!?! But maybe I'll just might make some. =)

Oke, as you can see, my current indulge is no longer Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, but instead, different pictures of leather cuffs. Well yeah, I am SOOOO into leather nowdays. Don't know why. Look more mature maybe? Got style also I guess? Haha. But yeah its natural too. ;) I bought one when I was there. I wear it everydae. =D (Nowdays I am surfing the net for leather cuffs/wristbands.) And I bought 2 leather shoes. =P My friends gave a me a sea-shell leather necklace. Love it! Will take a snap of it and post it up later er... weekend?
I'll add the Melbourne entry later on K? 'Cos kinda lazy then need to ask you (menot) for the alignment codes... bla bla bla. Weekends I'll update, hopefully!!!
I think my shoutbox is giving me ERROR on page, sigh. I think I might change and use a different type.

I'm beginning to like My Immortal by Evanescence now. The words are beautifully crafted and chosen. Meaningful at most. Great violin background. Another song that is currently in my head is Not Enough by Our Lady Peace. Love the rock-metal rythm. Everybody's Fool, aslo by Evanescene is rather nice too. Got hooked to Four to the floor by Starsailor back in Melbourne and still am.
This part of My Immortal I find most meaningful because it somehow reflects me. I know what you might be thinking now... up to you what to think. All I can say is... it's hard and complex - and NOT what you are thinking. Haha. Hey, its GENERAL Ok? Just don't feel like sharing what it is now.
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along."
Do you see how it symbolises from everything to anything ? And... to nothing?
Another section is;
"There's just too much that time cannot erase." - The memories that are left behind... and things that they say time will change, doesn't necessarily will.
Man, my body is aching. My arm and my thighs especially so. What did I do? Went to gym yesterdae with my coursemates. Hehehee. Unexpected? Well yeah, HEALTHY LIVING YA KNOW! Aiseh, now my neck starts to ache a bit... I think 'cos I've been staring at the comp and lying down to read a book the whole dae.
I'm drifting away,
Aimlessly to nowhere,
Searching for one,
That does not exist,
In my imagination,
Only I can see.
- Fine, so it doesn't rhyme but these words just popped in my head Oke.
These few days... these past weeks... I've been thinking. Hard and long. Shutting the outside world out. Yet, I gained nothing. NOTHING. Damnit. Maybe because it's too complicated... too different... too unreal... too . . . impossible.

Ough I'm supposed to go cycling at about 1:30pm at East Coast but look what happened! I fell asleep at 1 till 3pm. GOSH. How could I do that! Grrr... Damnit. Oke, tomorrow must chop + confirm go oKe. 'Cos I need to develope some photos as well. AND pass some things from Aussie (an Sg student asked me to pass to her mother).
My room smells nice and sweet. I brought back something that belongs to my friend. Supposed to be temporary but she's lazy to get it back. It's like a perfume thingy? In a plastic container, emitting nice fragrance through a tiny hole. I wonder what it is. It's name is Christian Lacroix Parfums. Smells wonderfully nice and beautiful. She too wonders its real purpose. She left it in the room, hence I did the same here.
Fell in love with some songs while I was there. Will make a new layout using codes from an old one soon, when I'm no longer lazy - er busy I mean. Haha.
