It's getting warmer!!!! Yippee!!

Updates

Been really busy the last few weeks, especially after coming back from Colorado, USA. Working my heads off trying to finish up my paper so that I can have a relaxing and deserving holiday in May when I get back home. It's only 4 weeks before I go home, and yet I have 1001 things to do!! Asked for a construct from someone like more than 1 month ago, and finally just received it this week!! That construct is like THE construct I need to have a good mechanism for my paper, and now I find that the construct isn't in the right vector, and I need to subclone it. That'll take another week!! And that's 3 weeks left.... then chances of me finishing up my paper by end of April is getting slimmer and slimmer.... and I am apparently getting slimmer and slimmer too!! I've been eating double portion, but I keep getting hungrier and hungrier, and my jeans is getting lower and lower.... now I look like those rappers with the jeans hanging halfway down the butt. Honestly, if it wasn't for my hip bone, it would just fall off. Dunno where all my food went to... maybe what they say about using the brain burns up the most calories is true. Tanki bocor... have to gain back the weight when I get back to KL. Makan time!! Can't wait!!

Anyway, haven't had a chance to blog about my trip to Colorado yet. So here it is. On Valentine's Day, I flew to Denver Intl Airport, having a stopover in Detroit. I had 2 hour waiting time, so I walked around, hoping to do some good shopping. Much to my dissapointment, there wasn't much, but saw a really cool tunnel which connects the two terminal. Of course, everyone was staring at this "China-mui" or "Japanese" tourist ooh-ing and aah-ing and taking a video of the super cool tunnel.

After that, got a little hungry, and my eye spotted Chillis. Since it's pretty popular in Malaysia, thought I should try the ORIGINAL one! Being the hungry carnivour that I am, I ordered the mixed grill fajitas, and a coke. Like all American restaurants, the meal was super sized! Got 2 plates for one order! Even the coke is refillable.... and the first cup itself is already the size of a big jug of beer.

The food was a little too salty for me. The prawns were really good though. But my eyes were half drooping by then, and could hardly have the energy to chew. Ate one fajitas (they gave 3!) and all the meat. And did not have a refill. The waitress asked me at least 5 times whether I wanted a refill.... but even the sugar boost was not enough to wake me up. Tried to go online coz I missed chatting with Sam, but couldn't get a good signal. Sighz...

By the time I arrived at DIA, it was already late, and I missed the last direct shuttle to Colorado Springs where I wanted to spend a few days sightseeing. Had to catch a bus to the Greyhound bus station in downtown Denver. Was told that the bus to Colorado Springs was gonna depart at 11.55pm. While waiting, I chit-chatted with a guy who works in film sound recordings. He was going to have a romantic cosy weekend with his girlfriend, and spent 2 nights intead at the bus station due to snow storms. Poor guy.... oh for the sake of love.....

12.05am.... my bus was still not here. Panic!!!!! Then realized my phone doesn't work in US coz it' dual band!!! Double panic!!!!! (to be continued....)

BN won!

BN won.... as expected, but opposition party has taken 5 states! Whatever it is, I hope both the ruling and opposition party will use their power for good, and not misuse it. Let us be Malaysians and not Malays, Chinese and Indians. I hope one day soon, there will be no racial discrimination... not in education, finance, business etc. If we've reached a point of 0% poverty, then there is no reason for unequality anymore. "The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labour." (Proverbs 12:24). Laziness is not an excuse to help people step up.... whoever wants to succeed must strive for it!!!!! Let us pray for the wisdom of our leaders.....

Something smells fishy and it's not coming frm my aquarium...

Got this off thestar.com.my

However, Abdul Rashid added that he still could not announce the results for a few states including Penang, Perak and Selangor as there was no single clear winner to form the state governments in these respective places.
“That is why I cannot make an announcement now unless there is a coalition formed in such states,” he said.

And in the same website:

For Penang: DAP has 19 seats, BN 11 seats, and others 10 seats....
What the......Isn't it obvious DAP has the majority??? Since it's quite unlikely that BN will form a coalition with the opposition.... or will they just to keep the DAP from ruling Penang??? Or maybe I'm just missing something...

I don't care who rules.... BN, DAP, PAS, PKR.... Lord, all I want is a country where corruption does not rise sky high, and where there is equality, and everyone is living in peace and harmony. I may be far away, but Malaysia's my home, where my roots are. Give the leaders of Malaysia wisdom Lord.... and tear down those who are evil....
