Hell explained
*The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term*
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
*Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.*
One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
*THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"*
I miss studying science like this.
Breathless
i don't mind, we have such a good time,
my best friend. but sometimes, well,
i wish we could be more than friends.
tell me do you know?
tell me do you know?
oh..
i get so breathless when you call my name.
i've often wondered, do you feel the same?
there's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity
when we're all alone.
so don't tell me
you can't see
what i'm thinking of.
i can understand that you don't want to cross the line.
and you know i can't promise you things
will turn out fine.
but i have to be honest i want you to be mine.
tell me do you know?
tell me do you know?
oh..
i get so breathless when you call my name.
i've often wondered, do you feel the same?
there's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity
when we're all alone.
so don't tell me
you can't see.
oh..
cause i've tried to do this right in your own time.
i've been telling you with my eyes, my heart's on fire.
why don't you realise?
tell me do you know?
tell me do you know?
i get so breathless..
I get so breathless when you call my name.
i've often wondered, do you feel the same?
there's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity
when we're all alone.
so don't tell me
you can't see.
what i'm thinking of..

Birthday bash in advance
I celebrated my birthday in advance on Saturday due to people having church on Sunday and also because Chandni and gang were planning to catch Rojak! on Saturday. Anaz, Francine, Calvin and I bertolak-ed from my place after 'lunch' and drove to Hartamas.
Because I had birthday immunity, they had to let me listen to my new Corrine Bailey Rae album. I put ' Put your records on ' on repeat, much to their agony. After we got there, we met up with Kareen and then headed to Paddington's House of Pancakes because i was craving for some ice cream, but then i decided to have their seafood cream pie instead. You know i can't pass up seafood!
anaz and kar at paddington's
After Paddington's, we met up with Chien Yih, and then strolled around the Hartamas mall. The mall was a dissapointing place, what with being so dead and hardly any good shopping places. And because the sole reason we were in Hartamas was because of the shopping, we went off hunting for more shops, so we squeeze back into Calvin's car (which, by the way, has no right mirror) and go hunt down Blook somewhere nearby in Hartamas. Once we walk into Blook, leaving the guys sitting outside on the steps, we get to work. Loads of tops and skirts later, I splash some of my bday dosh on a dress and tank. very the puas.
Shopping is hard work, so we reward ourselves with coffee bean. While we're there, we try to figure out where in the world Cat's Whiskers is. Phone calls to Anaz's cousin, Beth didn't help very much as we finally give up and go makan at Aoyama.
kar, anaz, me, fran, krys
Dinner was fabulous with japanese food served by the restaurant according to the budget, and there was loads of camwhoring going on. Krys and Yuan came and there was a lot of talking, shouting (on my part, sorry) and best of all laughing. It was so great to meet up with old friends and go all crazy just like old times.
It was still raining very heavily when we left the restaurant, so it was dashing through the streets and lanes to the car park, and we decided to ditch the umbrella and walk through the rain. It was crazy. Anaz and I were practically falling over each other laughing like crazy drunkards, and i'm pretty sure the chefs of the outside restaurants we passed thought we were drunk AND high.
The mood in the car was hilarious. We had split into two groups, and Anaz, Fran, Me piled into Cal's car, while the rest waited for their car. Today's environment must really be polluted because there was definitely something in the rain that got to us, what with all the singing (out of tune) and arguing over control of the remote control for the sound system. Craziness.
When we get to KLPAC, it's still raining pretty heavily. I meet up with Jay, and then we mill around waiting for the play to start. The toilets are still like i remember it when i went to watch Julius Ceasar. The sinks are still uber cool. so avant garde and modern.
The play was hilarious. It was really a compilation of short monologues that were mostly humourous and satirical. One really freaked me out though, although my bimbo brain couldn't totally comprehend the full meaning of it. It had a lot of screaming and was very dark. It was about a mom and her son (who by the way had really cool eye make up) and there were two 'angels' and a 'teacher' and the mom was a bit the.. insane. erm. yeah.
By the end of the play you can pretty much figure out that the teacher was God, and the book was the Book of Life, and the two freaky ass angels were..angels. I didn't understand fully what they were trying to get at, but if the point of art is to illicit a reaction from the audience no matter how extreme, they suceeded. The play terrified the shit out of me, especially the part where the angel 'killed' the mom by wrapping the trash bag over the head. It shocked, scared and stunned me as well as confused me. The lighting effects and significance of the props and the fact that you KNOW all this is a metaphor for something deeper and darker beyond my comprehension was very overwhelming. By the time the lights went up for intermission, I was shell shocked and tearing. I couldn't help it!
During intermission, the girls went to the loo, then they wanted to chill at the cafe. When people started going back into the pentas, I want to go back inside, but everybody's like no no, still got time, chill la. Finally i get why they didn't want to go back in when a waiter comes to our table with a plate of tiramisu and ice cream. Kareen had told Yuan that I wanted ice cream earlier, so yay, i got my ice cream after all. Then they sang Happy Birthday, but what was extra ber-malufying was that there were some sort of Tamil new year thing going on next to the cafe, so the Indian people joined in. I think. I don't know. I covered my face with a plastic bag, but I think I could hear them...
you guys.. the play is starting la..
Finally we went back in LATE which was a bit embarassing cause i think we held up the starting of the next play, but. yeah. oops. The rest of the play was entertaining, and I really enjoyed it. By the time we get out and head to the park to cam whore, we're pretty pooped out. But cam hoing must be done. will post a link to the photos one of these days...
All in all I had the greatest Birthday ever. So suitable for my 18th bash yeah?
Special thanks goes out to Kar for organizing and calling everybody, Cal for driving, Yuan for getting me cake and ice cream, Yih for the tickets, Anaz and Fran for eating my tau foo pok. and Krys for letting me and fran play with her new camera. and to EVERYBODY for coming. i love you alll so berbanyak fied much.
special note to kitten and nash : hey i totally don't know you, but thanks so much for leaving a comment! nice to know people acutally read this crap. :D

Vono should pay me..
Because their soup is so good. For instant soup category that it. I just finished eating one sachet of its Mushroom Soup and it's a million times better than the crappy soupy snax or whatever it's called. Vono should sponsor me, and I will go around promoting their soup for them. I will go around campus flinging sachets at starving students who are sick of mamak food, and maybe fling boiling hot water at them too. Because you need the hot water to mix into the powder. hehehe.
If Vono won't sponsor, then I will promote Knorr. Knorr is a favourite with me because i used to consume their chicken stock cubes by the boxes back in the days when i had to cook my own lunch, and the only soup for noodles i knew how to make was the one where you crushed the chicken cubes and mixed the powder in. Knorr makes the only chicken noodle soup i eat/drink because..well.. because no other company makes them.
But the best kind is from Campbell. Campbell isn't really in the category of instant soup, cause you actually have to cook it, unless you count their new add hot water with the powdered soup kind. Mushroom, Potage, Cream of Chicken, Tomato, Oxtail, Vegetable, Minestrom, alphabet soup, Chicken noodle, you name it, campbell makes me love it. YUuuummm..
The strange thing about Vono is that after drinking it.. makes me hungry la..

three girls and 40+ guys
see what happens when you let Lee play with the camera
everybody knows that when you watch a parade show at a mall, you should try to get the best 'seats' in the house. Unless you're the press and get prime access to the fancy shmancy chairs, you'll have to jostle your way to the balcony. So Kareen and I were excercising our talent in nudging people so we could get prime standing place on the 1t floor balcony. Finally the man in front of me graciously gives me his place, and so Kareen and I get good leaning space. Then Lee who has no talent in getting space takes advantage and happily sits down near our legs. So she gets to sit, prime viewing space with no effort whatsoever, and she gets to play with my camera. eesh
Neo was one of the cutest, and number seven, and Asun really got the crowd cheering, and Jeremy T was Cute! Lee kept whining about taking pictures with Rashid Salleh, so after we returned from the park, we went and hunted him down. I can't load the photos now because blogger is acting up, but yeah, he reminds me of Chef Wan.. physically..
In the end, we didn't watch Gubra because Kareen didn't want to spend 10 bucks on a local movie, and Lee wanted to watch Adam and Neo and Asun. So majority wins. Anyhoo, I've decided that I can't wait to watch Gubra. I HAVE to see it this week. I cannot stand not knowing if ah loong died or not. If he did then who was talking to the girl when she called?? Ghost is it???!!!

Drug Of Choice.
but think about it. the whole situation overall. apply this situation in global standards.
The real loser is the dude who keeps taking her back. Because he's a wimp ass dude who can't keep his heart proper. People like this are the epitome of guys you marry but don't love. Because they're SAFE . Because they will always be there to give you comfort when you need it, but you know deep down you don't like him, or you just have stronger feelings for other people. And they're not just friends, because by running to him, you are bloody playing with his feelings. And by playing with his feelings, that makes YOU a loser b****. And by playing with his feelings, you are secretly, and dangerously, although unconciously, breaking Other People's hearts.
And even when those Other People's hearts are trying to be happy for him, because that's what they want him to be, and they just want the best for him, they will never think that you are good enough for him (and you won't be). And deeeeeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeeeeep down, they will be humiliated, fooled, broken, angry, and weeping sad sad tears over what gave them the tiniest mite of hope in the first place. And you will just be a mean mean person.
But the most intriguing part is WHYY whyyyy does the dude keep taking her back? Time and time again, he sets himself up for heartbreak even though he's been there, done that. Because there are certain people that we always run back to.
Because they are our drug of choice. We're addicted to the feeling of being needed and loved. It gives us a high like no other to be their rock of support and source of comfort. Because then and only then, do you feel wanted and it gives you again that miserable little wench called hope.
But at the same time, you're miserable because you hate putting your every emotion on him, being so dependent on his happiness, and putting him first. Because you KNOW it won't work out. Not while you're a rebound dude. But you still do it because you're addicted to the feeling of being near him, of being needed by him, of being wanted by him, or just being acknowledged by him.
I need intervention.
like a ship in high seas
Imagine starting the day feeling lazy and unspirited to do anything other than finishing your homework, but you've already said you'd go to Sports day with Kar and Lee. So you drag yourself, but can't be bothered to dress up for KLCC later on, so you just change into jeans and a shirt. Then you make your way there and soon you're meeting juniors you haven't seen in ages, and you're pretty proud of some of the cheerleaders only because they're interactors. And your old house sucks. seriously. total embarassment. Except for the captain la. Captains never suck. The junior cheers.. some of the runners.. those suck ass big time.
so fine, soon you're feeling more upbeat and cheerful. You take the train to KLCC, and on it, you and Kar and Lee decide not to watch Gubra after all, cause there's just no mood, plus, you were secretly hoping to watch it with someone else, and decide to ogle and check out CLEO's 50 eligible bachelors. Your mood swings into super cheer when you get to pig out on squid rings for lunch, and look at hot men. You manage to get one of the best spaces on the 1st floor, and soon you are ogling at He-men like Asun, Adam, Jeremy T., and Neo. Even Stefan isn't too bad. But he's not your type. More like Lee's type...
Then finally after all that, you go home having laughs with those two on the train, only to be caught in the jam. Then when you go online to blog about it, you discover heartbreaking information. And your previously out of the stratosphere mood comes crashing down right through the earth and BANG into the core.
and then you decide its all not worth it, and decide to devote your life to little reptiles and insects, and go into a monastery and devote your efforts and obsessions to meditation. after 10 years of meditation, you discover that you are just not meant to love anyone all along, then you come out of seclusion and go around preachign scientology.
Imgaine.

food is good
I don't know why i like dumplings. I like foods that are made with 'skins'. like siu mai dumplings. and popiah. and dim sum... *drool* Oh man, now i feel hungry all over again. I'm so craving for dim sum right now. But it's also not fun to eat dim sum alone, or with a tiny group. the best is to go with one heck of a huge group then you can order all sorts and kinds, and pick one from each. plus, you get a better appetite! :D
And you know what else is really good? FRIED CHICKEN. the home cooked kind, or the mass produced kind, it's all yummy.
and..and..oh heck, i'll just list 'em all down
dim sum
sushi
potatoes
fried/teriyaki/black pepper/percik chicken
spaghetti
mushrooms
crabs/crustacean/anything with shells that live underwater
MEAT! i am carnivorous! rawwrrr
oh god, i'm so hungry.
