I thought this lyrics is rather touching. The melody invites you to feel. An excellent piece of song.

Song: Hear Me Cry

You couldn't say
Needed someone new
You actually thought
Deep inside I knew

Can you tell me how can you say
Why this should suffice
You passed me by
And your heart's as cold as ice
You passed me by

Did you see me cry
Did you ask yourself why
Did you see me cry
Did you ask yourself how
Can you hear me cry
Did you ask yourself
Will we ever grow apart

You couldn't say
Needed someone new
And you actually thought
Deep inside I knew

I wonder where we will go
Will we be the same
You passed me by
I laugh inside I think of you
And the love we made
You passed me by

Watched Japanese TV series 'Pride' and fall head over heels with Kimu Taku (playing Halu)again...hahaha. Haih, berlagak he's the best ice hockey player on field but still charming and funny. Irresistable quality. And that lady playing Aki is just so nice and manja-spoken I think if I were a guy I'll fell in love with her instantly. Betul tak tipu. The way she comfort and said "Halu.." Hish...me as a girl pon flattered. Ahakz, forgive me but it's JDorama fever for the weekend after a week bashing with my literature exam. Pergila tengok semua orang....best. Guarantee tak poyo and slow like Winter Sonata!

I have just finished my African literature exam. I think I did okay...I don't know. There're couple of MCQs that are confusing but I am happy this time I was able to write the essay in the time frame given..no rushing whatsoever like last time. Phew..hopefully I can get at least a B on this one.

I have to start thinking about my sampling research. Case proposal is due next week. Hell I have no idea what to sample. Should I do a marketing research? Or should I deal with environmental issues? Perhaps information technology, software improvement? My mind is totally blur.

HAPPY HALOWEEN everyone. Go get dressed into your gory costume. Tonite and tomorrow nite is party time!

It was raining outside; she feels comforted. How she loves rain so much for it always gives her a sense of peace. For the past three years, she has been fighting with herself. She has created a wall, a barrier deep inside of her. Never once she let anyone go through the barrier, even though she is the one suffering. And she force herself to be happy. At least on the surface. She smiles and she laughs. She sings and she dances. For quite some time, she truly believe that perhaps she is happy and strong again.

But these past few days, she has been tired for putting up this mask on her face. And on her heart. So she let herself dwell. And she is grateful she is living all by herself. At least no one can see her cry this tears of loneliness. She still smile, but in her heart she is not.

This is her story. This is my story. This is my melancholy. And this is my infinite sadness...

I check my mailbox everyday, waiting for my tart nenas. Tapi sampai sekarang still tak sampai-sampai... Mengapa yer? I've been waiting for it since August. Sedihnyer...

Practice, practice and practice. Hopefully I can become a successful woman rapper (perasan terror). Ganbatte kudasai!

Entry 1:
When I love a person too much, I may and will give up my happiness to see him or her happy. That sparks in his/her eyes? Priceless.

Entry 2:
Presidency candidate Kerry, Natalie Portman, Leo D'Caprio, Michael Moore. All of them were on my campus to raise awareness on the presidential election which is happening on November 2. Me? Missed all that because I was stucked in my boring lectures or in my room doing assignments.

Entry 3:
10 Things I Hate About 'You':
(1) Immensely lazy
(2) Spend money like water
(3) Then, asyik takde duit
(4) Bad cook
(5) Always buying the wrong jeans
(6) Level of critical thinking and creativity is very low
(7) Always have eyebags and black circles (buruk!)
(8) Often talk and kutuk without thinking of other people's feelings
(9) Inferior of your own ability to do better
(10) Gemuk macam gajah

A joke made in class today by my Stats prof. tickles me. It may not be funny to you but it is to me and the rest of the class. He was writing down the formula to estimate variance of population mean for two-stage sampling and part of the formula is summation from i=1 to m of a something in a parentheses and that something in a parentheses contain another summation of i=1 to m of another thing. But this one guy interrupted and asked, "Wasn't that summation in the parentheses supposed to be from j=1 or another variable instead of i because we already have that one for the overall summation?" when obviously it doesn't really matter as long as we are summing the right thing. And the prof. answered, "Well, it doesn't really matter anyway coz we are summing this and this but whatever.." and changed that i to k. Then he added somewhat sarcastically and jokingly, "You CS people".

Hahaha...hands up, no denial in that! I studied CS and I know all this shit about having to have different variables for everything. But that dude have gotta chill. Nobody cares whether it's i, or j or k or z. Somebody, please add this on your list of CS jokes.

Ok larr, tak baik gelakkan orang. Now, here is a question. I have a Muse concert ticket. The concert will be on Hari Raya eve, where there'll be a gathering for takbir raya. Should I go to the concert or burn the tix and go to takbir raya? I so so feel guilty lorr for choosing something not so good over something very very good in this bulan yang mulia.

I lost 13 points in my Stats 312 midterm. Out of that 13, I lost 10 freaking points because I forgot to write down the normal distribution formula in my cheat sheet. I am so bengang with myself!! If not, I could have just lost 3 points and gotten an A. Dahla that question supposed to be quite easy. Bummer, bummer. Sampling course midterm result also is not very convincing because I get low marks in the theory and concept section compared to the calculation sections. Duh... I shall write even minor details on my cheat sheet next time. As for now, one case study to go and lotsa lotsa reading on The Mongols and the African stories. Junior year? Not so nice.

Ramadhan is nearby. Happy fasting everyone!! Send me Raya card, okay?

I dunnolah why since my first round of midterms dah habis, I have been very very lazy studying. Been trying to read my history textbook but until now one chapter pon tak habis-habis. Also, I failed to search for cheap tickets to London Gatewick or Paris de Gaulle. Been trying at Travelocity, Orbitz, Priceline, Student Universe and Hotwire but all prices quote of over USD400, even after Christmas Day. Itulah this UW so stupid, holiday'll start only 2 days before Christmas. Anybody knows where can I find cheap flight ticket online? In the meantime, below is my current desktop wallpaper containing faces of my closest friends and I. A bit berterabur, I noticee... but my Photoshop weng, so I have to merely use Paint, which doesn't have as much features as I want.





Pretty kan all my friends? Hahaha... I know I sound a bit vain but darn, I miss them loads. Like, gile-gile miss them okay. From left above: Me, Chinozz, Puteri, Nanie, me, Aseng, Pial, El, Hawa, Arina.

I am still sad I cannot go home this winter. Nak jumpe both of my Atok. He must be whining already I have not come home for more than a year. I still remember his pesanan before I flew back to US last year. "Ina balik setiap tahun yer...". Haih, I feel so bad I can't fulfill his wish.

And not that I have much choice of what else I can do during winter break. Obviously, my spending power always exceed my balance on the bank. Currently high on debts and low balances on my accounts, it is impossible to have sufficient money for winter trip. I wonder how other people control their money outflow. Everything out there is so beautiful and tempting. I go to bed everyday thinking about Bose 201 series and Bose center channel speaker. I flip through catalogues and online websites now and then to check the latest price of my favorite coat. And I just paid a large sum of money for a Puma boxing bag and The Mongols book by David Morgan using my credit card. I have no idea how I am to survive within the next few weeks with only less than 10 dollars in my account. Still, I have this urge to go buy a TV! Shite..shite.

Nothing exciting happened over the weekend. I had to stay at home most of the time, forcing myself to study because I have 3 midterms coming up this week. So far, there's more of web surfing and watching videos and sleeping than real studying :p. Moreover, I lost mood to do stuffs for a few days when I found out I couldn't get ticket to go home to Malaysia this winter break. Tix daymn mahal since my holiday is around Christmas and Babah won't pay that much either for such a short holiday. I don't blame him for that, after all renovating the house is in progress so he gotta be spending big bucks on that.

I have a homework question I don't know how to answer:
(1) Why is the magnitude of the moist adiabatic lapse rate (of a saturated parcel of air) less than the magnitude of the dry adiabatic lapse rate?

Pliz, pliz someone who knows the answer to this question..do tell me. Got so many other qs I dunno how to answer. Sheesh... gilz cuak nak take exam this Thursday & Friday!
