That makes me smile

I went thru' a horrendous week with a daily dose of chemistry experiments for 5 consecutive days. Got so tired of writing and copying the reports each time i settle on my study. Titration has become a nightmare! I'd never imagine what could be worse until chromatography existed.. It was crazy.. all the spotting and drying. Crazy colours that don't seem to separate properly. Biology and chemistry. Same experiment. What! While all the suffering was going on, somewhere over in Dammam and Japan, 2 souls are enjoying themselves. Yes. My mom and aunt. One on business trip, another for annual company trip. Though non of them remembered kidnapped me in a luggage, but the things they brought back was just :D


The woman who went to Dammam... Saudi Arabia that is. Some football event thingy

My house is now full of.....


Pistachio nuts... and cashew nuts... and almond nuts... and macadamia nuts... and more nuts


And more nutty cookie... more like their delicacies la


But it's like super sweet, like sugar's free but not sugar free. And i don't know how 2 enjoy sweet things


Eh eh... their nuts are cheese flavored weih... pistachio in cheese...

Must always have....


FERRERO ROCHER!!! Hehe.. be jealous. This whole box is mine...! Who cares about malamine contamination.. haha.. nolah. Until now it's still left unattended in the fridge. Tak sampai hati wanna open it Lol...

But the truth is...


There's many many other chocolate waiting...


Toggi mini is to die for... Bounty is 100% my cousin's is to die for (i dislike coconut)
Rocher and cadbury is to share... But see the golden packet thing? Chocolate with dates paste... Yucks for me but yay for my grandmother

Then mommy arrives from japan with more


Yes... chocolates. There's suppose to be some other japanese delicacies too. But already dunno where in one day. Omochi's... some cheddar crackers (cheese again.. will i ever be sick of cheese?)

There's this sweet sour chocolate. Taste like eating chocolate with those sour bubblegum... Sour destroys the chocolate larh. Or maybe i don't like sour stuff..

Survinors?


Onigiri doggie! ... well, the body looks like onigiri la


With it's partner of sheep's body with rabbit head -.-" And there's summo things la.. but they are camera shy.. haha


Aroma therapy..? I choose this as i don't really know how to appreaciate other stuff. Bamboo and white tea. Quite nice also the smell... relaxing. Good for study :)

Contented. Yes... who wouldn't. A chocolate a day keeps the doctor away..? Best parts. A piece of chocolate after dinner :) Sweet tooth? Kinda but hates sweet stuff. Peculiar....

All these 'chocolates' are making me 'nuts'~

Grasshop hop hop...er

"Class... tomorrow we do the preservation experiment okay.. "

"Eh, you all catch grasshopper ady arh?"
"Haven lah.. later wanna go catch lor.. come along la"
"When where... "
"After school lahh... hang tuah there"

But the walk to hang tuah was really unpleasant. With the new leather shoes, the pain was unbearable! Near the stadium, saw some ferns and pluck them.. they pluck while i endure pain in silence. I just felt like walking 'kaki ayam' lah... Feel like mau pengsan already. What kind of shoes lah.. some more must wear everyday! The thought of there's still 4 days left for the week to pass dampens my spirit. Dreadfully walk slowly up the pedestrian bridge, past the flats to the fire bridgate station. Then, caleb caught the first and biggest grasshopper.

That's it then. I'm gonna forget about all the pain and hunt for my grasshopper. Then i can go home and sit and never move again. And so i found my hop hop after a while... and helped joyce found hers too :) At first i thought grasshopper hunting was a waste of time. But it turned out to be so much fun.. The excitement and the challange of catching them. After everyone caught something....

"Let's go catch flies...!"
"What..! My leg can break liao.."
"No need everyone go la... few of us can ady"
"Thank you thank you..."

Walk back to hang tuah LRT. Suddenly all the pain resurface again. Argh... i need to find something to concentrate on. Walking down the flats. The agony. Most unbearable. I just felt like rolling down la. Why bother to walk. Crap shoes. Raced for the train.. with shoes that slowed me a lot. Found a place to sit. Ahhh.... comfort. Then, all eyes stares at the little hopper. Err.... Dang! I threw off the shoes once i reach the car. Thankfully i have selipars under my seat... oh, if takde i'll just drive kaki ayam anyways >.<


A young one. Still green and waiting for it's wings to fully mature to fly and I damn it to death. Evil. Well, not me. Blame the Biology lah..


No air?? That's why i let it sleep outside at night in case i ter-breath all the oxygen. Haha...


Mogok dan tak mau makan.... Adakah i pluck the leaf tidak sesuai dengan seleranya?? Unlike 'Ah kor's fly some more can eat bread -.-"

The next day. Whole class kills grasshopper and fly with chloroform. Watching the grasshopper die like so kesian.. Feel so cruel. Seeing it spit out black liquid indicate it's dying. Doctor feeling. Wearing gloves and mouth covers and all.. Dissecting the insecta with each tug in the abdomen comes with a fierce flash of lightning and loud rumbles of the thunders. Very drama lohh.. (Nehh... those drama you ter-kill someone then sure will hujan lebat, ribut taufan, kilat memancar-mancar one lehh)


After drying in the oven, it's all crispy and crunchy... and fragile too


First i broke an antenna.. then i stick it with superglu. Then i broke the foot.. and stick with super glu again. Then i almost let the fly be 2 piece.. i superglu the whole body. Then i broke a leg.. i double superglu it back to its body. So my preservation is superglu preservation. What would teacher say?? Hope she doesn't realise :/


Life's brief candle:shall i preserve thy youthfulness forever
