About continuing studies

Regarding my application to ukm.

Im accepted into marine science! Ehh apa ni kata geology.. Geology penuh katanye. Padahal dia gerun tgk result aku time kat usm. Haha.

Aku sejak azali mmg suka gila tgk documentary on animals. Memula kononnye nak jadi marine biologist tapi bapakkkkkk aku kata xpayah you dont even know what that is. Suruh ngat aku jadi doktor. Time skolah aku xmenyerlah pun jadi aku tau dah mmg xboleh kan. Masuk matriks dapat sains fizik, was excited because i was soo into mathematics and physics at that time tapii paksa aku tuka sains hayat so that boleh jadi doktor. Nak wat guane, aku pun tuka ah. Din do that well, boleh 3.03 je, sbb sem satu mcm tahik.

Maka dgn ini ditakdirkan untuk aku xjadi doktor.

Masuk usm, tgh gila squash plak en. Xbape blaja. Course dah molek ni, something that i think i could fluorish in, tapi interns punnn xleh nak buat kat tempat yg sepatutnye. Bosan2. Last2 kantoi kawen lari, no more usm.

A year of not studying made me think of what i really want to do with my life. Of course there were doubts at certain points, and there was a time when aku xmboh blaja dah, nak niaga je. But then susah.. Sbb skarang sewa pun dgn family, share plak tuh. When they move, we gotta move too. It takes a while to build a customer base someplace new, and its costly to rent a house thats big enough for us to cook and all ourselves. I personally think its doable, but when youre married, your thoughts dont qualify to make final desicions.

So we end up with the call to continue our studies. Im confident this time, that ill pass with distinction. Be on deans list whatever smart shit there is. Marine science is pretty easy to excel in because it has loads of coursework and my epic favourite favourite part, scuba diving.

Exciting things are bound to happen soon in the future, or not, lol we'll see.

Oh oh theres a grand final squash circuit in UKM this weekend. I went over to play with them and theyre like 'HOMAIGOD ko dah kurus doh dulu ko gemok gila' mcm babi je. Hahaha.

Yang best skali ada makhluk asing ni cakap aku cantik...wakakakakaka. Berbunga hati i tau u ollsss. Time kasih ye! DH ckp aku cantik bila aku tny sendiri. Yela takkan dia nak kata tak cantik plak bila aku dah tny kannn. Tu pun bole laa.. Geli hati gak aku dgr. Tanya 'b, i cantik tak' hari2 buat hiburan diri.

Hello!

Ahh loads to tell so little patience..

Went to cameron highlands last week sbb DH ckp apehal xnak ikut dah kawen sume nnt org kata apa plak, yolahhhh.. Bukannye kalo u kuar lepak tak bawak i org kesah pun da kawen ke tak kannn. U sendiri pun xkesa. Anyways before we went to cameron we bought an auto feeder for the fish, but no fan. Cz we decided to use the super large fan, yg org pakai kat kedai makan tu, to maintain the temperature.

Maka kononnye dgn bende2 tu kitorang pun gerak la ke cameron..aku rasa tak sedap hati la jugak bila teringatkan ikan tapi DH kata dah letak feeder sume kan so nk risau apa.

Taknak risau pun xboleh jugak brooo.. Balik dari cameron masuk je bilik, Allahuakbar! Disaster. The feeder din exactly feed the fish, and the fan, being super powerful, had blown half of the water out of the tank and all over our room, soaking the bed. Aku baru tuka cadar tu tau seblum pegi! I totally felt like bursting into tears time tuh. Nasib baik DH kemas balik sume bende..kalau tak, sedih aku tau.

The next day nak mengubati hati yg luka sbb a couple of corals perished while we were gone and we wanted to return some fishies cz they were being such a bully to the tang and the new yellow banded maroon clown, kitorang pegi beli ikan. A mandarin, a bicolored angel, a red striped angel, and a bicolored chromis. Tangki tak smpi 2 ft tapi ikan macam untuk 5 ft haha.

The angels were shy when introduced to the tank, and the bicolor died the next day..dammit. The red stripe seems to be doing fine now and isnt as shy, which is good that i get to see the pretty fella more often.



Semangat je cite pasal ikan.. Cameron haritu ape cer kan? Best la jugakk.. Tapi sejuk ahh sbb musim hujan skang. Taun lepas aku g takde la sejuk camtu jadi aku tak bawak ah stokin ke jadah ape pun. Silap besar silap besar.

Aku suka la g cameron dgn family. Sume org cam kaki jalan patu sporting so it was fun. The only thing i disliked was the homestay, especially the toilets. Ahhhhhh. Bilik kecik. Patu ada plakkk dia position katil tu rapat dgn jamban. Haduiii. Nak taknak tido jela. Bape hari je pun nak kene tahan kan. Seriau dohh bila pikir tido dekat ngan jamban.. Kalau jamban tu cantik and konfem bersih takpe gak. Memalam bila tido badan keras je enn hahaha rasa geli nak gerak bnyk sgt. Dahsyat woi.

Bukan nak menggedik..masalahnye tak biasa. Bukannye dari kecik duduk rumah camtu. Masuk asrama pun nasib tandas dia tak dahsyat camtu..jadi mmg tak biasa la cite dia enn.

Akhirnye, we bought mists of pandaria. Skarang tgh sibuk levelling.. Aku takde masa sgt sbb nak buat keje and all. So far baru naik 2 level. Tu pun benanah jugak ahh. Dungeons are taking forever to que for, and levelling by quests takes about 6 hours per level.

Finally finally

I went to penang yesterday, with a successful outcome.

I got the letter that i wanted. Hooray!

Now my application to ukm can be proceeded with.

Dalang kesilapan surat yg menyatakan aku dah benti dari usm ialah school aku. Apparently they didnt understand what i wanted so without confirming with me, which is the very thing you should do when you are not clear about something, but instead they proceeded with memberi kebenaran untuk aku berenti, which is obviously isnt what i was asking for.

Adakah sebab mereka memilih kasih atau dengki atau saja nak kata biar padan muka aku? Peduli la wehh. I got what i wanted already. So yg lepas tu..takpela. Forgiven and forgotten.

Hujung minggu ni the family is going to cameron highlands, makan angin. Aku rasa malas nak pegi la pulak sbb mcm serabut pikir nnt sape nak jaga ikan aku. DH kata nak beli socket timer untuk lampu and an auto feeder tapi aku rasa mcm membazir je. Natang tu dahla mahal, plus nak pakai skala ni je. Nak g becuti lagi mmg zaman bila plak tak tau la kan hahaha duit pun semput2 je.

Tgkla mcmana.

Adakah si biru ni sehat atau masih berpenyakit kusta

Took the blue tang out of the hospital tank yesterday. It seems to be doing better in the display tank than in quarantine. Pecking on algae, swimming around and not hiding anymore..


Fire shrimp cleaning the tang, just like in finding nemo, ala you know, when nemo was introduced to the tank and the shrimp cleans him up tuu.

We had the two camel shrimps traded for this cleaner shrimp since were planning on reefing, those camel shrimps might pick on corals and stuff we dont want it to.

Plus it cleans, hence the name. Its so cute to see the fella riding on the blue tang while trying to do its job.

Even though the tang looks healthy, im still pretty worried. I read on blogs where tangs mysteriously die a couple of days after being seen swimming happily. I just hope its not the case with mine. I really like the tang, it just might be the excuse for us to get a 50gallon tank someday lol, since it could grow to be quite large.

Im having trouble with my admittance to ukm. Seems like i dont have the right letter to be admitted. And USM isnt exactly helping, since the whole thing was their fault to begin with.. Why the heck would someone give you a letter of release when you specifically asked for a letter of transfer? Frankly speaking i dont fucking care about not being with usm anymore, all i want is the correct letter. A letter that has the word TRANSFER in it. Susah ke?

Rightttt, i forgot. Its always difficult when you only help people whom you think is of your par or greater. Pick between a minister or a peasant. Minister first, ignore peasant, he doesnt need a future.

How much more ignorant can the authority be.

DH has succesfully gone to the gym for a week straight now. He has lost 5 kilos. I am definitely a proud wife lol like finally he manages to force himself to lose weight.

Keys to a speedy weight loss

Absoloutely no sugar and no fat. Salt should only be reduced cz if tak amek langsung itd cause cramps in weird places thatd hurt like crazy.

Protein is a must.

Nak tone up, exercise and do weights/resistance. Taknak tone nak kurus je takyah exercise. Tapi baikla ko eksesais sket.. Cantik sket kan.

On average itd take a month for results to show, but yea it varies with people. Kekadang cepat. Dont give up on it if youre taking sometime longer to slim down.

Happy losing weight!

Sick fish

The whitespots on the tang got even worse after the freshwater dip treatment. We had to act fast otherwise the poor thing would die as the parasites feeds on its flesh and blood..puitis sungguh! Haha

Sooooo we took action by setting up a quarantine tank. Using the previous tank, we bought a smaller filter pump, some live rock to host the bacterias, and a small bottle of chelated copper as medication for the fish. Copper works well on eliminating parasites but overdosing could cause poisoning and death to the fish. It also degrades by time so additional solution should be added and its concentration in the water should be monitored. Too high fish dies too low fish dies too lol. It says that i should put 2ml for every 50 litres, after calculating the water volume, all i needed was only 0.3ml. I din have anything to measure the exact amount but i remembered one of my lecturers used to say that a drop equals to 0.1ml. Jadi aku pun bedal la boh 4 titik. Cuak gak ni kot2 memory tu aku reka sendiri dlm kepala kan, kang mapuhh plokk ikang ni. Tgk2 keesokan harinye molek skek, yay!

Ohh and we went to the local fish shop and got a couple of ugly corals for the tank. I hate them cz theyre not as colorful as the expensive ones but whatever. We got them for free so papejela.

The hospital


The recovering blue tang


The tanks


The ugly freebies








Haaa pastuuu ada sekor ikan aku yg aku ckp missing in action and is thought to be dead and its carcass eaten by the forever hungry shrimps, rupenye mmg dah mati. Tapi tidak dimakan udang, cuma mati kering lol. He jumped out of the tank, menggeletik sensorang kat dlm baldi tu sampai laaa mati patu jadi ikan kering.

A lesson for all escapist fishiesss


Aku nak simpan tapi DH tak bagi. Dia cakap kuman. Akupun buang luar tingkap.

Hari ni aku main squash 2 kali. Pagi dgn prof hood salleh( power org tua ni, malaysias national champion of the year 1975. Lutut nak tercabut pun bully aku like crazy) ptg dgn bosto. Now kaki aku rasa malas nak berdiri... Aku nak je jalan2 lagi tapi kaki aku ckp cukup2 la seksa dia.

Marine ich

Our blue tang caught the ich today.. Well im not sure wether he had it only today or a couple of days ago cz i havent had time to look at the fishes, but yea i had a good look at it this morning and i concluded that it the nasty parasites are on him.

We cant afford the medication for the time veing cz DH is freaking himself out about getting in shape so he feels like he needs to buy a shoe this instant, and theres bills to pay yada3 so i went for the hyposalinity treatment, the dip-in-freshwater method.

I filled a jar of RO water, put in the tap water conditioner together with the API stress zyme liquid (honestly i think the stress zyme is a waste, cz its not like he needs the bacterias right now), turned on the air pump, let it run for a bit and put the tang in. I dont know if the water temp i the jar is of much difference from the main tank, the internet says it should be the same, i think its more or less the same so i din bother to check.




He looks like he's doing fine, im leaving him a bit longer in the jar cz when the 15 minutes suggested was up there still were a couple of spots on him.

I should hyposalinate the whole tank but since theres other invertabrates in it it wont be safe. Plus its not a breakout so ill cure the tang alone for now.

Crazy parasites.. And i thought my tank had enough problems already.

About DH wanting to be in shape. He got a little too over excited about it after he watched documentaries of bodybuilders on youtube. After all these years of me telling him to exercise, and he listens to youtube in an instant. Well i hope he takes it seriously this time. Being in shape needs strong discipline and will, you shouldnt do it if you couldnt stand the pain, like when your muscles hurt and stuff you let youself believe that you couldnt do anything else until you recover. You have a life, responsibilities and working out isnt the only thing youd be doing once you start it, its something you incorporate into your daily life so its your job to manage between your responsibilities and working out. Unless youre paid to do so, then that would be fine.

If you work out and start scowling at everyone else just for being drained from it then dont do it. Youre not the only one trying to get healthy, loads of other people are doing it and they manage just fine so look upon them.

Harini tak niaga.. Aku letih apa tak tau.. Malas je kot. Haih.
