bile reflect diri, tibe2 rase sedih. tak tahu nape. mungkin banyak sgt menghabeskan duit. rase bersalah dengan orang susah. mungkin juge rase hepi sgt. pastu rase bersalah lagi. mungkin hepiness itu fake. mungkin juge tak patut. orang tue2 cakap banyak sgt gelak nnt menangis. betul la kot. mungkin saje hormon yang terlebih. mungkin juge sebab cuti. rase mellow. tapi tak cuti pun kadang2 rase gak camni. oh, mungkin tak cukup bizi.yes. kene lebih membizikan diri.

maafla, mood dalam entry ini bertukar-tukar..type je padam, pastu try lagi..pastu padam lagi. nasib baik blog sendiri :-)

diagnosis

OSCE of the day..
  • disturbed sleeping-pattern
  • loss of appetite (alarming!!!)
  • lethargy
  • disoriented
  • social withdrawal behaviour

what is the diagnosis for the above symptoms?

p/s: my pet...she's got all those symptoms...what a pity

misi hari ini

~~~~~~~~~~~sedang cube menyiapkan lagi 3 ribu perkataan untuk intro~~~~~~~~

bile hantar?...ESOK!!!!

TTX continued

fact: in Haiti, voodoo believers (mak/pak dukun) use TTX extracted from newts and puffer fish to create 'zombie poison'. the term zombification is used since victims of this poison will experience muscle paralysis; conscious but unable to move...cam mayat hidup le..oh, it's amazing how these people can create this deadly poison to harm other people,..tikam je la ngn pisau lagi senang..

treatment for TTX poisoning: NO KNOWN ANTIDOTE!!! (pak/mak dukun voodoo bersorak kegirangan..)

however, some measures can be taken to counteract TTX poisoning. in 1973, Torda et.al stated that the treatment for TTX poisoning is essentially supportive, focusing on treating/ reducing the effects and symptoms until all TTX mlcs are excreted.
if TTX is ingested, gastric lavage;' emptying all nasty things in the stomach' will be performed. activated charcoal is also given to the victim so that the charcoal can bind with TTX molecules, preventing them from binding to TTX binding site on voltage-gated sodium channels. the victim should be artificially ventilated to ensure respiration (breathing). this is important as breathing failure is the underlying cause of death in TTX poisoning. A. Alcaraz suggested that TTX can be destroyed by using alkaline solution or strong acidic solution since TTX is soluble in acidic aq solution.

symptoms which resolve over a period of days with a good prognosis if patients survive 18 to 24 hours after ingestion of TTX. (Bower et al, 1981)

future treatment
monoclonal antibody was produced and used on mice. the mice were injected with TTX and soon followed by injection of the antibody.it is shown that this immunisation causes TTX to become non-toxin and the antibody also showed high specificity towards TTX.
(kendo matsumura, 1994)

p/s: tiup kanan tiup kiri..puff2x esok nye essay que kuar pasal TTX puff2x ;-) all the best to me!


ikan buntal

sape pernah makan ikan buntal a.k.a puffer fish a.k.a diodontid spp..pernah?..pernah?..
saye pon tak pernah..ekeke

ikan buntal is highly poisonous because it contains a neurotoxin known as tetrodotoxin (TTX).this toxin is highly concentrated mainly in gonads (telur), intestines, liver, and skin of this fish.as some people may already know, puffer fish is famous in japan as it is one of the japan's traditional delicacies called fugu. but do you know, between 1993-2006, there were 23 reported cases of puffer fish poisoning in Japan involving fishermen eating their catch of puffer fish. also, do you know that the incidence of TTX poisoning worldwide is around 250 cases in which its mortality rate is 60%. having said that, of 10 people poisoned by this neurotoxin, 6 of them will DIE! scary right?..hell yeah..but people still eat the fish.

about TTX
it is a product of bacteria called pseudomonas tetrodonis which may live in the fish. TTX is colourless, heat stable, and sparingly soluble in water. however, it is highly soluble in strong acidic solution. not only in puffer fish, TTX can also be found in blue-ringed octopus, certain newts, frogs, salamanders, and horse crabs. the most important thing, it has both neurotoxic, and cardiotoxic effects.
the lethal dose for TTX is between 8-20ug/kg.

the effects of TTX
when someone ingested TTX by consuming puffer fish, the symptoms may be shown 30 minutes after ingestion. sometimes, the symptoms may be delayed up to 4 hours after ingestion.
the effect starts with paresthesia or numbness of the lips and tongue. this may be followed by tingling sensation. he will also experince muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, ataxia, and skin blistering. in severe cases, the victim may get, cyanosis, cardiac arrhythmia, general paralysis and eventually death. evans MH stated that the death of TTX poisoning is due to paralysis of diaphragm resulting in respiratory failure.

ok, now we know what someone will get when he/she ingested TTX. but how do these symptoms occur?

TTX selectively targets voltage-gated sodium channels which are important in generating action potentials. it binds to the extracellular pore on sodium channels resulting in action potential blockade. there are two types sodium channels involving TTX binding site. TTX resistance voltage-gated sodium channels and TTX sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels. TTX-r channel is primarily found in cardiac muscles whereas TTX-s channels dominate the rest tissues in the body such as skeletal muscles, brain, kidney, and so on. thus, the organs with the latter channels were compromised more than cardiac muscles. in skeletal muscle, failure in generating action potential will cause muscle paralysis.
although the brain is dominated by TTX-s sodium channels, the neurotoxin a.k.a TTX cannot cross blood brain barrier (BBB). therefore, brain is not hugely affected by TTX toxin. that's why the victim is conscious even though immobile. evans MH, 1969, reported that TTX levels are highest in kidney and heart of victim's body but lowest in blood and brain.

to be continued..


p/s: as a matter of fact, i was revising for my neurotox paper...and was trying to memorise about TTX...so yeah..this entry is boring.. ;-p

happy birthday ann!

dapur banjir

semalam...mengingatkan betapa lamenye dah tak cuci baju..gi la cuci baju gune washing machine burok yang ade kat dapur umah ni...pastu nek atas balik...pastu rase lapar lak.., turun la carik makanan..tibe2..jengjeng

"owh nooooooooo!!!!!!, dapur banjir"
S, saksi di tempat kejadian mengesahkan bahawa air datang dari washing-machine. mungkinkah ia bocor?..(burok la katenye.. ;-p )
A, saksi kedua di tempat kejadian mencadangkan supaya kite menelepon mr.w a.k.a tuan rumah/lanlord/tuan punye mesin basuh burok itu. dalam pada itu, tuan punye baju2 yang berada dalam mesin basuh burok itu a.k.a ana la! tgh sebok memainkan peranan sebagai cinderella yang cantek, mengelap lantai dapur dengan harapan air akan hilang sekaligus membersihkan lantai dapur umah kitorang (ade la gak hikmah dapur banjir, mungkin sbb dah lame tak mop kehkeh)

owh, kembali kepada kejadian banjir, saksi menelepon mr. w. semase saksi melaporkan butir2 kejadian, suare latar di belakang a.k.a ana lah! kedengaran, meminta mr.w datang asap sbb air kuar lagi!!!

mr.w dengan santainye berkate, "dun worry, stop the washing machine first" (haah, asal la lupe nk tutop mesin basuh burok tu..)
menurut mr.w, kejadian itu mungkin disebabkan oleh paip umah yang beku oleh kerana cuaca yang terlalu sejuk. akibatnye, air tak leh mengalir keluar..pastu backflow la...

oooooooo.....

mr.w berjanji akan datang untuk melihat/memulihkan ape yang patut. kurang sejam, die datang bersama pembantunye.setelah pemeriksaan dijalankan, mr.w yang beraksi sebagai mcgyver kitorang mengesahkan bahawa banjir disebabkan oleh PAIP TERSUMBAT. pastu die menukar peranan sebagai tukang paip plak, cube untuk membuka saluran paip dapur...rupe2 nye... bnyak mende dalam paip tu (tak yah la cakap ape mende)..patut le tersumbat...ceh, kalo cuace ade perasaan, mesti die kecik hati sbb mr.w salahkan cuace pada mulenye...hehehehe

akhirnye, dapur, paip, dan mesin basuh burok itu kembali seperti biase...time kasih incik w, kalau la anda tiade, sape la nk baiki paip tersumbat tu ye..huhuhu

ber'weekend' di kota keriangan

Last friday, housemates(except for aisyah), fiqah(ahli rumah ke-7 ;-p) and myself went to London by train. we spent 2 nights in london (courtesy of azie and aunty fatimah *wink*)...


we arrived in london at eleven-ish at night, azie picked us up at london's train station and we headed straight to azie's place which is located in edgware road. that night, we slept late, gossiping with azie and nusrah, updating each other with hot news in both london and nottingham..hahaahaha...


the next day, our never-ending outing started with azie as our lovely 'tourist guide'. we went to portobello market and had lunch in malaysian student department's cafe (MSD london).i've been to london a few times before but never had a chance to visit MSD london.. thanx to Azie, we had the opportunity to eat malaysian food(dimasak oleh orang utara)...it was really superb!...(kami menjerit keriangan melihatkan lauk-pauk yang bermacam rupe, nasi kerabu pun ada!)




hmm..ape lagi ek?..

owh yes, we also went to trafalgar square and harrods. surprisingly, i didn't buy anything this time around..aha!



we wanted to watch 'wicked' initially but the tickets sold out (the play has been showing for yeaaarss,and tickets were still sold out?!can u imagine?)..anyway, not giving up, we headed to leicester square in the quest for cheap-but- interesting-other-than-wicked tickets. we ended up watching 'blood brother' with maryam and azie not joining us. regardless the change in plan, i'd have to say that we did'nt regret it at all as the play was really really good!..the actors were brilliant especially the female lead.


the show ended at half past ten,then we took tube to azie's place..the funny thing was, when we arrived and called azie to open the door, she said they're already in aunty fatimah's (a.k.a irina's mother) rented apartment. apparently, azie, maryam, irina, and fairuz already took our belogings and put them in aunty's place.so, we went to the apartment which is located in king's cross st(i think)..the apartment was really amazing with the view of hyde park..it's really2 nice!..aunty, thank you for letting us to stay in ur lovely accommodation!


we came back to nottingham the next day(sunday).


london is a very lovely..ops LIVELY city indeed. however, i'm glad that i chose to study in nottingham over london's QM. dont think that i could afford to live in this expensive city. plus, it's way too crowded. and i am grateful for what i already have.

me! the pink power puff girl

what a tiring day...
today...i had to sow a spine of a cadaver and both of its legs(with ryan's and dennis's help of course, couldnt have done that without their assistence)..this was my last labour work for the project, i hope!..( yeah..i thought i've done with this dissection/prosection thing but apparently noooooooooot....)

while sowing, it occured to me that this experience was very new..yes, i've never sown before. while i was in form 2 or maybe 3, we had to do a jewellery box for our KH project and we needed to sow a few pieces of plywood,put them together (using nails/screws/screwdriver) and voila, an ugly, plain jewellery box has been created!..being a cheater (maybe cunning is more appropriate ;-P), as always...my 'jewellery box' was made by the KH teacher and some of the male classmates, thank you very much! i luv u all..hehe

anyway, back to this sowing-dead body's legs thing, i managed to do that on my own and ryan thought me through the event. there was this feeling of achievement afterwards that made all the sweat and effort paid off..(which i didnt feel during the KH project kehkeh)....and.. i do understand that being independent and do everything (that you can do and allowed to do) are wayyyyyyyyy much satisfying than 'upah'ing other people to do it for you..oh! i feel so strong and powerful now, like blossom, the pink power puff girl!.......

Encik Lepitope

makeover! in the making

yes..yes..when i realised that i am becoming more and more like a granny, i decided to do a makeover..act, it's not really a makeover..more of making myself to utilise resources (time, money, work, friends ehehe...etc) and becoming more productive..rather than lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling 24/7...

having said that, right after the oh-not-so-nice i.e damn hard REM paper, i straight away went to town...shopping! a.k.a asma's ultimate relaxation therapy...bought a ROXY JACKET..yeay2!!

i came back at around 6pm..then, housemates (excluding irina, maryam, suraiya), myself, fiqa, pi'e, wawa, faz, sin wee, duo ying, alifah, and fiqry went out for dinner at big wok


pic above: me eating the tallest ice-cream ever...haha..saje nk lawan fiqry, konpem fiqry tak leh lawan ketinggian ice cream di atas walaupun die menang title 'makan paling bnyak' kehkeh



outside the restaurant...from left: wawa, fiqa, alifah, duo ying, faz, myself (note the new green jacket bought earlier kehkeh), anis, pi'e. at the back: fiqry

anyway, 7 things about me....here we go





1. i love EATING!...i have big appetite for a size 8 girl..hehe, thankfully, i didnt gain weight easily..so weight-watching is never a problem.



evidence: i still remember when we (nott's malaysian medics) went out for a buffet dinner, there was this senior(guy..name?biarla rahasia), he was so awed with my eating ability..he said, "i've never met a small girl who can eat so much! was that ur 6th round already(referring to my plate of noodle)?"...ouch ok!..hehe..but yeah..nothing can stop me from eating..ermmm..maybe handsome guys can cos i tend to be very reserved, very polite in front of handsome guys..ahaks



explanation: i was and am still brought up by a man who loves to eat and cook...MY FATHER!!! mase kecik2 dulu...asal mengamuk n merajuk jer..mesti tanak makan (konon protes la..hehee) pastu ayah mesti cakap..."kalo tak makan sebelum pukul am/pm, aku tak mengaku anak, jgn mintak ape2 lagi ngn ayah!..."..mase kecik2 kene gertak, bile dah besar kalo tanak makan, ayah mesti merajuk..kalo ayah merajuk,nanti sampai 4 hari pon die ungkit kisah silam betapa susahnye hidup zaman dulu2..aish,memang tak bes ;-p ... LUV IM



2. shopping is my second fav hobby..maybe window shopping is more appropriate hehe



evidence: can ask anyone who knows me ;-p..dear friends, am i shopaholic?..mungkin tu dulu.. skang ni dah tak kot...dok hibernate je kat umah..



explanation:...genetic?



3. some people said i'm a happy-go-lucky person..but i just think that i can hide my problems really well..i rarely show my true feelings/emotions..and i like being tough,err i guess....


evidence:..this is just what people say and think...this evident is not verified...hoho


explanation: no comment


4. up until now, 2003 remained the toughest year in my life


evidence: not available


explanation: this was the year when i lost my other half, my love, my everything...i was like a stray cat, lost...( that kind of feeling is really2 NOT NICE...tak yah la cite lebih2, nnt terbuai2 lak) yeah..i didnt like that year..but deep inside my heart, i know, Allah will not give something that i cannot bear..


5. i always want to meet takuya kimura and marry him...muahahahahaahaha


evidence: be it long vacation, beautiful life,pride, change..u can ask me everything about his drama.. EVERYTHING!...mase form 2 dulu siap gi pinjam buku jepun-english kat pustaka sekolah, belajar sebut name dalam bahase jepun..kot2 terjumpe ngn kimutaku..


'atashi no namae wa asma desu' *peace*


explanation: makin lame, makin tue, makin matang..makin kurang la 'kegatalan' terhadap kimutaku...tapi...erm just in case...to takuya: if ur wife dump u, pls come and see me, then we could get married!!


6. i like pink. do not fancy blue colour.


evidence & explanation: not available


7. i have to sleep at least 8 hours per day!

explanation: i cannot function properly without my 8-hour sleep...but it doesnt have to be consecutive..hehe..orang slalu tanye..nnt bile keje, on calls,camne?..haah..camne eh?..tape2..i'll deal with that later..one by one..step by step....!

--------------------------------------

i guess that's all...hehe, tibe2 teringat kat hannah montana yang nyanyi 7 things tuh.

as for tagging-link thing, i'll leave it for while. will update this entry when i decide whom to tag after this..hehe

p/s: to 3rd year medics in notts,..esp housemates, gud luck in REM exam..it's tomorrow aite? hehe

becoming granny..

have you watched becoming jane?. it's a movie about jane austen's love life. she fell in love with a handsome young man but the love didn't work out. anyway, i don't wanna talk about jane stuff now...

i think i'm gonna be a GRANNY in less than a month..no kidding..i'll end up being a granny at the age of 22 if i don't 'makeover' my life!!!..when i said 'life makeover'..it means now!!!!!!!!!!

i'll tell you what i did today
  1. wake up at 8am, snuggling on my bed for a few hours (macam org sakit belakang yang tak leh bangun tu)
  2. pastu invited pi'e the twin and sin wee the so-called bf tipu2 to have lunch at our house
  3. started cooking at 11.15am, they came over at around 1pm. we had nasi lemak and i tried 'koreking gossip2 baru' from them...so macik okay!!
  4. after they left, i snuggled back onto the bed, watched a few episodes of taiwanese series
  5. then, we had dinner..(makan lagik)
  6. were supposed to watch a movie in a cinema..tapi tengok tiket mahal sgt...ended up watching Sydney white on the net with anis and fiqa.

i was like macik2 kan?

i feel like a loser, i dont know why..today is the so-called malas day for me. i dont mind if it's just once in a blue moon. the problem is everyday is like a 'malas day'..aiya..this cant go on forever....*sigh*

i should've gone shopping today..THERAPY..macam pi'e cakap,"keluar berseronok"...

hopefully tomorrow is a good sunday. i'll make sure my sunday is gonna be productive!full stop.

p/s: i had fun catching up with pi'e and sin wee though..rase cam dulu2 plak..zaman2 first year..tehehe

inspiring adverts

came across the latest petronas advertisement..I'm always amazed how people can inspire others through this medium..the most interesting thing about petronas advert is it touches the bottom of one's heart.. anyway, below is the link to the ad:

http://www.petronasgreetings.com/deepavali2008/index.asp

enjoy!

p/s: i wept when i watched it first time..but i wept every time i watched the other petronas ad featuring adflin shauki...i really2 like that one!

another good news...
i'm about to finish with my dissection/prosection stuff..yeay!!

we did it!...mission accomplished

5.30 pm, wed
it's our(irina n myself) turn to cook..went to the kitchen...

irina: eh, kite ade nenas..3 bijik

myself: haah la...jom buat gulai nenas..(bajet pandai jer..)

irina: aku rase cam nk makan pajeri nenas..nenek aku buat aritu sedap giler (nenek pulak..tgh rindu la tuh..)

myself: hmm..aku tak gheti nk wat mende alah tuh..ko?

irina: aku pon tak reti! (tersengih..)

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................
then, we decided to refer to our sifu mesra.net

sejam kemudian,

myself: na..nenek ko buat camni ke?..(ragu-ragu)..nenek ko letak santan tak?..nape resepi ni tak letak santan..aku rase nenek aku letak santan..(gaye tanak kalah dalam pertandingan 'nene kate')

irina: (dengan tegas dan berkalibernye..) ye!aku yakin nenek aku tak letak santan!

myself: ok!..aku percayakan ko!..(gaye berlagak kaliber gak)

sejam setengah kemudian.......
irina: asma, aku rase jadik la pajeri kite ni...kaler cam dah kene ni..hehe (tersengih dengan gembiranye)

myself: iye?!!..yeay!! bestnye..aku rase kite best la..

irina: haah..aku rase kite best gile!!

-------------------------

finally, we finished cooking at 7pm and everyone loved our pajeri nenas..(at least that's what they said ;-p)
yes, mission accomplished! thanx irina..i luv you...

shopping spree

i love winter!
not because of the weather or the snow but....you can always find excuses to go shopping during this season..

"i need to get bubbles for winter"
"my layering is not enaugh"
"i cant bear walking in the cold"
"i havent got a pair of long john".....

these kinds of statements always come up during winter and then, without realising, you would end up wandering around the shops, looking for new winter coats, new boots, new thick stockings etc2..hmm..pastukan..dah alang2 kuar dan bazirkan 3 pounds untuk bas tiket,
you would shop till you drop..(it's true!!...at least for me ;-p)

and the best thing about shopping during winter is.... you have a BOXING DAY!!!
it's usually on the 27/28th of december. during this day, most of the shops and large retailers will reduce their item prices up to 70% and the shops open as early as 5 am and closes at 8pm (shops open between 10am-5pm normally)..amazing!!!

looking forward to this year boxing day!



p/s: anis and myself just bought new gorgeous boots for ourselves yesterday..hahaha

kejiwangan melanda 2...

finally got my last month's feberet song; bila engkau jauh by shannon

THANKS TO AISYAH!!!!! you made my day...hahaha...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

last night, we (anis, aisyah, and myself) were so bored..in anis's room, randomly surfing and watching asian dramas. anis and i, somehow, we swapped laptops. then, naughty anis, she accessed my facebook account and wrote to her account, "anis,...u ni cantek sgt" (something like that)...pastu aisyah found out what she was doing...eh, die pun nk gak...so there was; aisyah..u terrer giler men netball, hot sangat (more or less..haha); written by 'supposedly asma'

when i found out what they were up to...our facebook war began..it was me versus aishnis= aisyah n anis ( dua lawan satu wei..hahahaha...kitorang memang ntah paper)..i striked back saying i was blackmailed(?!!!) to write/type the previous comments bout them..and they were playing innocent..replying comments like; 'asma, why did u say that? we will always support you' , ' asma, u ni nape, ok tak?'..my status kept changing every 4 minutes...kejap2 cakap kene blackmail, jap2 cakap laptop kene virus aishnis,....anyway, our battles ended when we decided to have dinner..hahaha..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

tadi
wawa had a peek at aisyah's comments kot..pastu die tulis; asma, tabah la..i pon sokong u gak.


habisla...mesti die ingat bukan2..oh wawa, poor innocent little thing...hahahahha

p/s: sume dialog di atas direkod semalam, semase notts games tgh berlansung..

notts games

today is like a festive day..it's nottingham games!!!the most awaited event in nottingham. basically it's an event which is organized by nottingham malaysian society involving games like football, netball, snooker, chess, table tennis and so on. malaysian students in all over UK come to compete in the games. we even received contiguents from malysian students in ireland and other neighbouring country. now, can u imagine how big it is?

as for now, i have to get ready since i'll be volunteering in the games. anis and irina already left whilst maryam is taking shower.both maryam and myself will take care of volunteers and nottingham players' food (we catered the food of course!! hahaha...not that we dont know how to cook, but it's for 300 people for god sake!!!..). aisyah and suraiya will be playing netball..

will keep u updated...

kejiwangan melanda

tak leh tido...bosan..perlu tidur..tapi tak leh..dengar sayup2 suare aisyah kat bilik sebelah...tgh bercalling-calling agaknye...



dok sorang2 lam bilik pastu tepikir..ape la ayah,teh,along,capik,camim,caheed tgh wat kat mesia...bosan..bosan..dan bosan...



2 minggu lagik ade exam..tapi tanak bace lagik...

bosan..bosan..dan bosan..



tibe2 teringat concert teringat lagu simple plan wat khas ntuk budak2 nottingham..tengok video die jap..hai tahpaper la aku ni...





boredom...

came back home at around 3 pm..was rushing to the tv..(hell yeah, our new flat screen tv), switched it on, tried to navigate the channels but to no avail...

damn, i think it's bacause we havent paid last month's proveider bill...haish...i want my gilmore girls episodes...

oh well, ended up writing and submitting posts instead..haha


p/s: cepatla balik wahai housemates sekalian.....

the new america..

ni mesti sume orang dah tau pasal ape...haha..obama menang piliharaye AS. ramai orang cakap this is not about obama himself winning an election, it's about the new direction on US future.

semalam tengok le obama's winning speech kat bbc.com

what a crowd!!..beribu2 orang bersorak gembira, nampak jugak Oprah Winfrey, (mengesat2 ayer mate walaupun cube bersembunyi disebalik bahu lelaki gagah, batang hidungmu tetap ku kenal). daripada ape yang aku nampak, obama nye penyokong, bukan hanye dari golongan tue2 bangka dan aristokrat tapi golongan muda mudi gak. bagusla...after all, politic is not just for those old, conservative people, but we, the future leaders of the world have to involve in this matter, try to make this world a better place to live..ini tak, dok bagi culprits and zionis memerintah sesuke hati...harap2 lepas ni ade la sedikit perubahan kalaupun tak bnyak..insyaAllah..


p/s: penulis sendiri adalah seseorang yang tatau langsung pasal politik ;-P

series of unfortunate events..

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around...

yeah, just like lyrics, i had a bad day..ops, not just a bad day but a few bad days.
here is the list of my series of unfortunate events:

1. laptop crashed. woke up one morning, ran an anti virus scan, and then suddenly voila..all my documents are lost.apparently the documents are 'hacked by debugger'.yes, yes..i had back up on aisyah's external but not my power point project work

2. later that morning, sad state but determined. did 2 new slides consisting dissection pictures, using anis's laptop. the editing, colouring of each vessel and nerve, and so on took a day..can you imagine? a whole-day-worth 2 slides. tired and filled with stupidity, forgot to save it on anis's laptop and aisyah's external, saved in a pendrive instead. the next morning, woke up from bed, unknowingly and stupidly turned on own laptop, plugged in the pendrive,tried to open the whole-day-worth slides...jengjeng..'hacked by debugger' came instead..dammit..
sad square state

3. sent own laptop to abang hisham for reformatting. did the power point thingy again with anis's laptop, super determined this time. managed to do 5 slides (yeay..) and saved them properly.

think this is the happy ending of my series of unfortunate events?..

NO-NO.....absolutely not at all and here is the climax

this morning, woke up early with fighting spirit...went to class and then dissection room. spent 6 hours dissecting the posterior region of buttock and thigh. during the last 2 hours, tibe2:

myself: oh no! (half screaming)..oh my god..(holding the scalpel, lips wide open, speechless)

collegue: why? what is it Nur? (surprised and concerned, approaching my table)

myself: oh lord, i actually dissected the buttock. this right buttock was supposed to be superficial prosection, not the deep one.

collegue: oh nooo...u poor thing...

myself: ryan...ryan....help!!!

there you go, my worst unfortunate event of all. a week and half were wasted dissecting the wrong buttock just like that.argh!!!!!

ryan, the dissection room technician a.k.a anatomy demonstrator came in. i quickly explained the situation. he looked surprised and when he saw my deadly expression, he smiled.

ryan: relax, this is not the end of the world. you can do a superficial dissection on the anterior and deep on the posterior

myself: no, i dont want that. i wont be able to show the hip joint globally then.. (both of us tried to think of a solution, then, it was i..)
does this look superficial to you?(holding the the deep posterior prosection, looking mischievously)

ryan: hurm..not really

myself: but, if i go deeper to the other side, then this will look superficial. after all, the muscles are preety much intact, and i havent removed any of them. whaddaya think?

ryan: hm..i suppose...yeah, i think you can do that..yes, definitely.

end of story. this is not so bad anyway..hehe

oo Allah, please guide me...

huarghh..laptop went crazy

naik gile rasenye ngn laptop ni...tatau la ape masalh die..tensennye...tgh sebok2 ngn projek n notts game,s mase ni la die nk wat hal..u know what, i lost all my documents in words, power points...be it all first year's documents to the third, everything were apparently removed due to virus..what the h***?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
takkan la kat word doc. pun ade virus...

luckily, i did some backup by using aisyah's hard disc, she is reallly my saviour.. but still, i dun really know what to do with my laptop..how am i suppose to do my project in the future?..what if the same thing happen again?..oh my goodness, i really am damsel in distress...need to ask abang hisham for help, sin wee cam sibuk sangat dah...
ooo Allah...please..please help me............(wailing..huhuu)

huh, sekarang rase sgt2 nk bli laptop baru...takpun beli komputer terus..lame lagi nk dudok kat bumi nottingham ni..baru mantap sket..nnt la gi usha komputer...huhu

a visit to Bath

last saturday, animated anis (my dear housemate), myself, and 39 other malaysian girls went to Bath by a chartered bus. the bus left nottingham around 7.20 am and the journey took about 3 hours.

did i tell you how lovely and supportive my other housemates were?..the night before, chief irina made us cheese cakes so that we could eat them on the bus, motherly maryam heated chicken wings on the next morning for our breakfast.(owh, bless them..) oh lupe nk bagitau, since we woke up quite late that morning, i called a cab to pick us up from the house to the bus stop which is about 7 mins walk (pemalas kan?..haha)..pastu, tgh rushing2, in the cab, halfway, animated anis realised that she wore kitchen flip-flop instead of sneakers. screaming shockingly, which almost made the cab driver died of heart attack,the driver had to turn back to our house..it was sooo hillarious..

disebabkan bangun lambat gak, we didnt put any make up and had to do make up on the bus. what an experience..(kene la make up, mane tau kot2 terjumpe jodoh, hahaha...)


an hour before reaching Bath, we stopped at Stonehenge. menarik gak la although i had very little appreciation on things like this..hehe..batu-batan jer pun..it was damn freezing, my teeth kept chattering non-stop tapi anis mantained je..siap unzipped lagik die nyer bubble jacket..anyway, we took a few pics (not bothered taking too many pics sbb tanak kuarkan tangan...sejukk kott!!)

sampai je kat Bath, we performed prayer and had lunch (nasi+ayam oreng+ tomyam)..sedapppp...tapi makanan sgt sejuk...anyway, after we splitted up, me and anis went to roman baths first.it was aamaaaaazing, SubhanAllah...i'd really want to briefly write about its history tapi cam malas sket, so maybe next time..hehe. after that, we went to Jane Austen Centre, yes the infamous jane austen who wrote sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice, and many more.the centre has a lot of her letters which were written to Cassandra (jane's sister), and pictures. her books are also available in the centre.

we spent more or less 4 hours in Bath before boarding the bus and went home, arriving in nottingham at aproximaly 8 pm.

buttock oh buttock

oh please..this is not sumthing horny...hehe

this morning, i went to the DR, as usual, dissecting the buttock region. penatnye bukan kepalang bcos he was a big guy...man, it takes a huge amount of energy just to cut and reflect the gluteus muscles..the sad part was that i cut the muscle too deep which almost damaging the pectineus muscle the sciatic nerve...oh well...i can always do it again on the other buttock. speaking of which, i think megan did a really good job with her cadaver, dissecting both sides well and demonstrating the hip joint clearly...oh my, i need to work harder tomorrow morning...

ni cam lari sket dari topic (lari banyak sebenarnye...)...but i think my ex is already looking for a new girlfriend..kinda sad but hey life moves on...yeah i need to accept it...as for me, i am enjoying my single life...no strings attached, no comitment, nothing....

for dummies..

i bought a book titled 'power point for dummies'..yes, lemme emphasize..FOR DUMMIES..and it just arrived this morning..i tried to read it ('selaking' page by page..) sadly, i couldn't find what I've been looking for..i know half of the book contents anyway..guess i'm not that dumb afterall..







in conclusion..power point for dummies is really just for dummies...DUMMIES only..(grrr...bengang)





entertainment nite..

hi there...



last nite, we performed nasheed for the entertainment nite..we did a pretty good job considering the amount of time we had to practice it..hehe..anyway, we sang iman mutiara, selawat, and thank you ALLAH. and you know what, in the middle of our nasheed, suddenly there were two brothers, coming out of nowhere. we had to stop our nasheed at prompt since our solo, a pakistani girl (mashaAllah, she has a really good voice) doesnt sing in front of guys. we stopped for about 7 minutes, standing in front of the audience, doing nothing...it was REALLY FUNNY..haha. after the guys left, we continued singing..khadijah, the youngerst (7 years old) in our group really caught everyone's attention. she got lots and lots of kisses from the sisters. the most hillarious part was that she stuffed so many packets of crisps into her coats at the end of the night and looked like a girl with big fat belly haha, luv her...





by the way, i also cut my finger last nite (was an accident of course!..) and couldn't make it to the dissection room today..( a yeay for me though i was just finding an excuse ;-p) so..for today, i'll just stay at home and do a bit of work...daa~~~

dissection aftermath

it was a tiring dissection indeed....had to flip the body over (with the help of other people of course ;-p), rip off the skin (sampai terkehel bahu dibuatnye...), remove the fat pad and etc. neway, a little update on today, RT, the one who manages the dissection room was scaring us again (as always although unintentionally..hehe). apparently, we had to do a 20 minute presentation on our project prior to viva..it's not marked though..but hey, i dun like presentation..it's just not my thing(if u know what i mean). man,...this whole project thing is driving me crazy. let alone the CAL package, i havent even started editing the pictures, oo Allah, please..please help me..

and o, we (as in housemates, myself, and some postgrad's children) are gonna perform nasheed this tues nite. we're having a practice tonite and i think it's gonna be hillarious. haha, the kids are adorable, one of them even gave Mar (my housemate) a get-well-soon card, sweet kan?

need to get ready for the nasheed practice...see ya

my project

today is a new day....

i have a dissection today, urgh....i'm tired of cutting and dissecting but no choice.....hehe basically this is a third year project, consists of producing a prosection, CAL package and a dissertation...oooo...so many things to do in a limited time...

nway, i've got to study the buttock part before dissecting it, we dun want to remove anything important, do we?

ok..byee

am single again...

it's kinda sad to end a 3-year relationship but i guess maybe this is the best..

have u ever felt that sometimes u're better off alone?
...and i really feel relieved

i pray that everyone will have a happiness life.....

a blog of my own...

yes..finally..i've got a blog and i'm officially a BLOGGER (sounds lame though..aha!!) i'm not really good with words and writing but lots of things have been lingering in my head lately..and my life is simply upside down..guess i need a medium to express myself and a BLOG could be a solution..neway, that's all for now..adios
