Obssession

This is the big tree in front of my house
LOL
I have no idea when i took this photo.
Just came across it in one of my many many photo folders.

and this is i-dunno-where-in-china.
My mum (or maybe my aunt) took this photo during their trip to China 2 years ago.
Ah well, of course i edited it.
Just trying to get familiar with all those methods.

Sg. Lembing..

Fine.

I admit I'm obsessed with Adobe Photoshop.
It's like a magic wand.
U can turn even turn an ugly duckling into a beautiful, gorgeous swan.

I've just started really laying my hands on Photoshop recently
(uhm....ya...real recent....like....today LOL)

And this is my first official work of 'art'.
It's a view from a window at the Sg. Lembing museum.



I know i know...
it's amateur-ish, noob-ish bla bla bla...
But hey,
i just started okay?
and i did this at 3am =.=
I've added rainbow (it's kinda faded, cause the sky is too bright),
sparkles~
and some touch here and there...

I'm pretty satisfied with my work~
(LOL..perasan-nyer~ XD)

Anyway,
time to sleep.
Buh bye~

CT Scan (Computed Tomography Scan)

I finally had my CT Scan today !!!

T.T

Had to fast for 6 hours (which i quickly stuff my stomach with FOOD - dumpling, bread, Milo b4 2.30am),
and had to take 10 pills twice (10 hours b4 and 2 hours b4),
and couldn't drink much water,
duh,
why so ma ma fan fan one =.=

Barely slept (not due to nervousness, is played flash game till forgot time XD),
and had to wake up at 6.30am to take those idiot pills (which i turned them into serbuk~)
well, my mum literally shocked me out of bed =.=
then i just dozed on and off until 7 something in the morning.

Then my dad fetched me to the hospital,
registered, and cabut go eat breakfast and work dy =.=
left me waiting alone there (with lots of malay aunties and uncles).
I was like the only young chinese girl there T.T
I sat facing the 'bekalan farmasi wad',
watching the workers going in and out,
which later i gave up watching coz there's really NOTHING to watch.
(Leng zai? Go find in TV bah...the percentage of coming across a LENG ZAI in kuantan hosp is 0.000000%)
So i listened to my mp3 and started daydreaming.
Had to wait for a long time coz there were many patients and there's only ONE CT scanner.
and i just sat there thinking the painful-ness of the needle and the injection T.T
oooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
practically just scaring myself through the morning.
and the butterflies in my stomach just wouldn't stop flapping their wings around,
making my stomach real uncomfortable (perhaps i was really hungry) T.T

Then,
finally,
a nurse called my name,
and asked me to go to another wad,
to put the needle thingy in
T.T
then i had to let another guy do first coz he came b4 me.
The nurse see me so scared den said:

"relek la....tak sakit punya"

T.T
She poke ppl, not ppl poke her, of course TAK SAKIT la...
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
Then i told her i did the MRA b4, which is quite painful (it is 'quite', comparing with the antibiotic shots which are in the 'very' level)
and she said,

'tu MRI punya jarum halus jer...'

Then,
i jiu cold dy.
Meaning,
the needle which she was going to poke into my artery/vein is much thicker la
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
She almost scared the shit out of me T.T
Nevertheless, she is one of the better nurse.
Coz she is really soft-spoken and nice,
not like some of them which are garang-er than a tigress.
Well,
she held my hand and started looking for the artery/vein.
Then she kept on saying :

"Aiyo...u punya urat banyak halus la....susah nak cari o...."

T.T
I've been told that many times b4.
There was a nurse which poke my hand for many many times until i wanted to cry dy and still couldn't get it right,
finally my mum dun let her poke and a PRO doctor came and did it swiftly and professionally.
So,
the nurse kept looking at both of my hands,
looking for the 'urat',
in the mean time kept saying :

"Aiya..ah moi....u punya tangan banyak halus la...macam bayi punya tangan jer...."

=.=
Aiya nurse, just fast fast find the 'urat' and get it over with la T.T
finally, she settled with a 'urat' below my wrist.
Then, she starting the 'poking procesure',
which i turned my head away the entire time.
Then i saw the needle, vr vr vr long T.T

O M G

i so wanted to faint that time T.T
The nurse kept talking to me trying to 'relek' me.
Like usual, the poking sure got abit pain one la....
But it's seriously NOTHING compared to the real injection part.
Then she inject some kind of fluid in which had no feeling at all,
and taped the needle on my hand with tape.
Then finished with

"tengok...tak sakit kan?"

=.=
nurse ar nurse, i bukan takut kena cucuk oleh jarum la,
tu nanti punya injection yang paling scary T.T
Then she sent me back out to continue waiting,
which i had time to take pics of the needle poking into my artery/vein.
Well, u cant actually SEE the needle, just the plastic thing attached to it.
Then i just waited and waited.
I saw a malay guy, wearing a pair of 'GUCCI' shoes which has a metal tag that shouts GUCCI loudly, and a 'GUCCI' belt,
which i seriously doubted and still doubting the authenticity of them,
but when i later on discovered that he only drives a perodua MYVI,
there's no doubt at all.
Those 'GUCCI' things are definitely pirated one.

FINALLY,
they called my name and asked me to go in
(which at that point i was almost bored to death).
Then they asked me to changed into those very GREEN and thick robe
(which i until now, having to wear them so many times b4, i still have no idea which is front which is back and how to tie them up =.=)
Then i had to lie on this 'bed', and wait for the procedure to begin.
The CT scanner is different from the MRI.
It has a big hole in the middle.
They kinda like push u through the hole.
And the hole there has a thing keep on spinning one.
It's hard to explain by words =.=
Here is a picture of it, not the one in HTAA of course,
but the overall structure is the same.



Then i saw this tag there saying

"Warning, do not stare into laser beam."

I was like, what?
Laser beam?
Laser radiation?
What if i become blind?????
T.T
Oh well, i was just thinking too much XD

Then they connect a tube to the plastic thing on the needle for the injection of iodine.
After that they left me alone there T.T
oh, and this nurse or pagawai,
she asked me

"U understand malay? Coz later they gonna give instruction to u."

DUH
do i look like i dont know BM????
=.=
I'm not that stupid la zzzzzzzz...

And so began the scanning...
at first they just move me in and out in and out,
den,
suddenly,
one of them came in,
and started adjusting the needle and the plastic thing in my hand.

Then,
out of no warning,
the fluid,
suddenly,
just
SHOOT
into
my
artery
and
go
into
my
whole
body
blood
circulating
system.


W T F

Pain like mad.
That lady still said

"Tak sakit kan??"

....

wtf,

tak sakit??

Tak Sakit ?????

TAK SAKIT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????



I almost give her die on the spot. T.T

T.T

TAK SAKIT???????

Tak sakit den she come do see see SAKIT anot.

They easy to say 'TAK SAKIT' coz they are not the one lying there waiting to be injected.

WTF

Tak sakit, kononnya.

T.T

Then, the iodine flow through my blood circulating system.
The fluid,
has a tingling cooling sensation.
I could feel it in every arteries and veins in my body T.T
But,
my body,
just kinda like,
heated up,
despite of the 'cooling sensation' of the iodine.
I felt real hot.
Like i was having a high fever.
I could almost feel that I'd turn very very RED.
T.T
Believe me,
it's VERY VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE to have foreign fluid flowing in your blood veins throughout your whole body.

Then,
after god knows how long,
finally,
the injection stopped.
T.T
I felt so very extremely relieved.
T.T
Then few mins later, they came in and told me finished dy.

LUCKILY they still know to apologise for making me so pain. T.T
and
i give them cold dao again.
One of them ask me

"You dah kahwin belum??"

T.T
I look like i dah kahwin ke??????
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
Vr sad and hurt T.T

Then they asked me to go to the wad again to cabut the needle.
I saw the nurse who poke the needle in and happily told her

"boleh cabut dah~"
XD

Then she sambil cabut sambil said:

"Aku pun tak suka tengok orang sakit punya...i pun tak mau buat orang sakit mar...aku pun takut sakit...."

=.=
Haihz...suan she got liong sam T.T
But she's very nice la~
As nice as the nurse i met at MRI department last time...
And so come the end of my CT Scan at HTAA.
They asked me to call again to get the films.
and I can finally go back~~~~~~~~

I was so tensed and scared whole morning that when it was over,
i felt so exhausted,
like i just ran a marathon.
T.T
All i wanted to do was to go to sleep and sleep till the next day.
But i had to go to piano lesson in the afternoon T.T

And i took 2 hours to finish this blog.
LOL...
Getting lazier and lazier XD

And these are the pics i took.

Before the scanning (with the needle):


a closer view, and yes, the red red thing in the plastic thing is BLOOD, MY blood.


The 'aftermath' of the scanning :





I know what i experienced is really nothing compared to other ppl.
But i just wan to write write WRITE...
At least to let those who never experienced it and don't have to experienced it for the time being to feel lucky not needed to go through it...

And so,
I'm
going
to
bed
now
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahha...

CT Scan !!!!

argh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate hospital !!!

hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate

I went to there to have my CT scan today,

and the nurses keep point me here point me there,

give them make till I so pening T.T



I went to the imaging department,

and they pointed me to the CT scan at the emergency department,

then i went there and a notice was pasted on the door saying the room is under renovation =.=

So i asked the nurses in a wad 2 rooms beside,

and they pointed me to the same damn room again

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

The doors were locked up summore =.=

They want me to break into the room ke?
(I'm not Michael Scofield la...)



Then my dad came and asked another nurse with higher post,

finally she brought me to the right place T.T

and so i waited for my turn.

Then a nurse came out and asked me whole bunch of questions.

She went back in talk talk talk then came out ask me again =.=

Then again she went back in the room talk talk talk and finally asked me to go into the room.

But,

they told me,

I couldn't do the CT scan today cause I had asthma b4 when I was young.

They have to inject a contrast into my bloodstream and it contains high concentration of iodine.

It might cause allergic reaction like flush, itchiness, etc..

So i should have taken steroid beforehand to prevent the allergic.

T.T

and now,

I have to take 20 pills !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



O M F G


T.T


I hate taking pills !!!!!!!!

I cant swallow them T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T

and i have to take 10 pills at one time T.T

wtf..

you kill me bah T.T






That isn't all.

The next time i go for the stupid CT scan,

i have to be prepared to be injected with the contrast (aka dye aka colouring) into my bloodstream T.T

T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T

Pain pain pain pain pain pain pain T.T

It's my antibiotics shots nightmare all over again T.T

No matter how many millions times i had this kind of injections b4, I'm still fuck scared of it T.T

I've done similar MRA scan last year.

When they inject the contrast, I had to lay very very still and not move even a tiny bit T.T

It's nothing like those injections we have usually.

It's like having icy cold fluid injected directly into your BLOODSTREAM.

Last time before I did the MRA, i was so scared and cold that i vomited and almost fainted T.T

and today i met the nurse who worked at the MRI department when i went there last year.

She recognised me LOL.

Ah well, i guess i'm easy to recognise,

and i did went to have MRI twice and vomited at the sink in the room.

LOL

..

Sigh

I have 2 damn weeks to prepare for it.

T.T

God bless me

T.T

In loving memory of little Teddy..

Teddy,


we'll miss you

and

we'll love you always.

Iron Man

I've watched the movie - "Iron Man" which has been quite the talk lately.

The main character - the billionaire genius Tony Stark is played by the very sexy Robert Downey Jr.
*start screaming*
*aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!*
(I missed the days of him as Larry in Ally McBeal !!!!!)

Ah well, I'm not here to talk about the movie (it's great btw, you should watch it).
I want to talk about the s-u-b-t-i-t-l-e-s.

As we all know, all the movies are provided with Malay and Mandarin subtitles.
They translate everything from the movie title till the end of the show (exclude the casts and credits of course).

So, we were eating the popcorns waiting for the movie to start.





Bla bla bla bla bla...

Finally.

The title "Iron Man" came out
(after the advertisements and the movie trailers and the beginning of Iron Man).
The words "Iron Man" are big and displayed in the middle of the screen.
Then I look down at the subtitle.


...


...


...


"坚强的男人"







What the hell??

Iron Man = 坚强的男人 ?????

Since when the word "Iron" = "坚强" ??????
So if i want to describe a person as very 坚强,
i should call him/her very 'iron' ????

This is where direct translation comes in useful.
They could have just translate "Iron Man"
as "钢铁人" or "铁人"
which the meaning is so much better and accurate than
"坚强的男人" (and so much shorter).


This reminds me of a movie i watched few years ago.


"The Day After Tomorrow"

Guess what's the malay title for it???









Bingo !!
*applause*



" L U S A "

4 words become 1 word.

Nice.
You have to give them credit for making the title so 'simple'.

Okay, back to Iron Man.

Behind every successful man, there's always a great woman behind him.
In his case, it's the famous Miss Pepper Potts,
which is played by the beautiful Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actress, Gywneth Paltrow
(wife of Chris Martin, the lead singer of the British rock band, Coldplay).


Again, guess what's her name in Mandarin (in the movie Iron Man)??

"胡椒"




Ya, i know pepper means 胡椒.
But, SERIOUSLY,
do you call a person as "胡椒" ???


"Pepper Potts"
So, i should call her "胡椒 盆s" ????





You tell me.




This leads me to another famous singer in the music industry.

Gwen Stefani.
She's a very very well-known figure, a solo artist and the vocalist of No Doubt.
You can always see her name appearing in newspaper and magazines.

Mandarin newspaper translate everything to mandarin, including titles and names.


So,




Gwen Stefani.
"关 史蒂芬妮"



Gwen = 关
关 = close


So, if you ever name your daughter as 'Gwen',
you can put her mandarin name as "关 ".

E.g. : Gwen Lee ---- 李关 (nice, simple, easy to write and remember)
Thank GOD my parents NEVER named me as 'Gwen'



When you have a daughter which her name is "Gwen",
you can name your other son as "Kyle".



Cause if "Gwen" = "关",
so "Kyle" should be "开 "



Gwen and Kyle, 关 and 开.
Very very very nice combination.

Ribbons

Ribbons

Ribbons are very useful.

You can use them to wrap up presents,

to be used as hair clips,

to be sewed on a beautiful dress,

and as entertainment, e.g. "cosplay".

Peace ^^V !!!!!

This is the auto-gear female version of Super'man'.

(Male version of Superman would rather die than to be caught dead with a ribbon around him. Having to wear that underwear on the outside had already made him DISTINCTIVE enough, not to mention that ridiculously GIGANTIC 'S' on the front of his costume, our superhero doesn't need another girly ribbon to make him stand out from the crowd.)

and of course,

when u run out of idea of what present to buy, you can always use a ribbon and wrap yourself up as a present.

(I was trying to wrap her up nicely a a present to be presented to the birthday girl Wei Yee.)

and I had no idea why was CL being so excited about.

..

..

..

..

..

Behold of the arrival of the great mighty Super'mEn'~~~

opps, they were still discussing of how they were gonna make their grand entrance.

Couldnt risk messing up such an important appearance.

okay,

again.

..

..

Here come your friendly neighbourhood superheroes - the Super'mEn' ~~~

(eh, isnt that phrase was used on Mr. Spidey before????)

ta-dah !!!

Obviously, they were still on manual gear.

Short of fund i guess.

==============================

You can also use ribbon on a traditional myth character, e.g. Chang Er, 嫦娥. (The beautiful lady who flew to the moon if you dont know who is she.)

CL was directing HY who was playing the character of 嫦娥 how to pose.

She was just toooooooo shy and so she hid her face.

(Duh, yea RITE zzzzzzzzz...)

....

...

..

.

and I present to you,

the beautiful, elegant, graceful and legendary -- Miss Chang Er, 嫦娥小姐 ~~~

Ugh, HY can NEVER be a professional actress, it's so obvious that she was trying VERY HARD not to laugh. (and i forgot who was holding the other end of the ribbon at the side.)

.

Good old crazy form 6 days.

Random Cold Situation

One night, we went for a drink at Relax Cafe.

People present : me, YY, CC and LH.

We ordered our drinks and food and chatted through.

Then, our drinks came.

LH ordered a chocolate ice blended (i think).

CC wanted to try it.

So, LH passed the drink to CC for her to try.

LH was looking at her.

(P.S. : The conversation was carried out in mandarin, I'm not a professional translator. So, if there is any mistakes, please dont mind about it.)

CC : You very mind my saliva izzit??

LH : Nope, not at all.

So, CC went ahead and tried the drink.

Then, she passed back the cup back to LH.

and

CC : Dont worry. I used my lips to suck the straw. And my lips are dry one. So there wont be any saliva on the straw.
(And she said that excitedly looking at LH with her big eyes)

....
