Betsy Carter's book, Secret Recipe's cakes and early dinner at Wendy's.

Yes, At, Syaja and I went to Jaya One. It was my first time there. Pathetic, HUH? :P
Just a quick post.

-I bought two slices of Secret Recipe's cakes. Mango Delight and Lemon Cheese. Those cakes are so tempting, creamily seductive and simple irresistible! Huhu. Lama tak makan Secret Recipe. Anyway, there are TWO Secret Recipe shops in Sungai Petani. Hehe. Sungai Petani, KEDAH is not an ULU place, OK! :P

-Went to a very small bookshop. The size of the bookshop is quite equivalent to the size of my hostel room here in Mahallah Zainab Jahsy. LOL. Sarah Sarcastic memang tak sah kalau pergi shopping complex tak beli buku. And so I bought a Betsy Carter's book at a very very reasonable price of RM 9.90! FOUR TIMES LESS than the NORMAL PRICE! It's a BARGAIN, RIGHT???!!!!! Gonna go there again. But unfortunately there are not many choices of books. The title is 'The Orange Blossom Special'. I love the book cover and apparently, this book was featured in the 'Oprah Winfrey Magazine'. So, it must be good, right? :)


(The book cover of the version I've bought)

(Looks more tempting and interesting, ain't it? )

- Then, moved on to Wendy's. It was my first time there too. Ordered Chicken Burger set. There are the chicken nuggets and the Coca-Cola drink. I am quite full, thank you very much.

So, that's all!
Oh yeah, since Syidah had already gone back home, the room will be mine for the whole night and for the whole day tomorrow. the UIA bus leaves at 10 pm tomorrow. Huhu.
At had a meeting/stuffs to do at KC and when she came back, both of us will be watching CICAK MAN 2 in her laptop! :)

My blood is type AB positive! :D

Salam and greetings to everyone who's reading.

We had the best Bio Lab class ever this morning. We did experiments on genetic traits. It was by grouping your blood(blood typing) and recognizing and doing poles on how many people in the class possess the traits listed.

I got to admit, I was a bit anxious with the experiment. I was scared of the blood typing thing. The mere clicking sound of the lancet made me shudder. Fizah was the first one whose finger was being pricked by the lancet. And immediately after Syau pricked her finger, she yelled " AUUUUWWW!!!! SAKIT! SAKIT!!!!! (PAIN! PAIN!)". My face turned pale and I was a bit scared. Pathetic, huh?

Then, it was Husna's turn. She, on the other hand, failed to show any expressions of shock or pain. Whoa, that's COOL! And then it was my turn. I kept on wiping my finger with the alcohol strip for a few times nervously. And Syau inserted a new 'needle' into the the lancet. I kept on whining pathetically and annoyingly on how PAINFUL it would be. And finally, I relented on it. When Syau finished pricking my finger. I was like........

" Lahhh, macam ni je ke? Tak sakit pun!"
and both of us laughed. Syau mentioned that my expression is kind of 'tak-boleh-blah'. Seriously. I'm so pathetic. But it doesn't mean that I'm such a sissy girl. I've received TWO injections when I was in Primary One. The first one is the Standard 1 injection and the second one is the RUBELLA injection. I didn't shed a tear AT ALL!. Yes, I received the Rubella injection when I was in Standard 1. Some of my friends from Convent Father Barre cried when they received that particular injection when they were in STANDARD SIX! And of course, I received various injections throughout my school years. I'm not scared of injections, OK. I was just being a pathetic drama queen there in Bio Lab.

And so, my blood is Type AB positive! YES! It's very RARE, I KNOW!!!! At first I thought that I get the AB NEGATIVE coz the blood took a long time to clot in the rhesus reagent.
And so for the next experiment, Madam did head counts to determine who possess that particular trait and such.Anyway, AB positive is a universal recipient. the red blood cells do not have any antibodies and so it could receive blood from any blood groups. Some of my friends were a bit jealous, LOL. :P

I have heavy eyebrows, my nose is straight but not that prominent (mancung). LOL. It's a Chinese trait I possess. LOL. It's an intermediate between flat and prominent. I should be proud of it. ROFL. My hair is straight. It's a bit embarrassing to raise up your hand when the brothers actually look behind to see who possessed straight hair or wavy hair. LOL. Straight hair. Again, a Chinese trait.Or even Korean, JAPANESE! It's surprising to know that straight hair is a recessive trait. I thought that many of us have straight hair! Enough of that. I have a rare dimple.But I did not raise up my hand when Madam did the head count. It would be quite embarrassing. The dimple is rarely seen. Only some of my friends noticed it. It is situated below the cheek and at the corner of the mouth. You can only see it if I smile with my mouth closed. But that is impossible of course as my cute front teeth protrudes against my upper lip and it seems weird if I smile that way. LOL. Oh yeah, my mum and my youngest brother have dimples on their cheeks. It's just that mine is a rare kind of dimple. But hey, dimple is any kind of natural dent on the face, right? ;) Yeah, check the definition in wikipedia. :)

I can't roll nor fold my tongue. I don't have a widow's peak. I have a hitchiker's thumb and curved thumb. I can curve my little finger. My ear shapes are quite peculiar. I have attached earlobe at one ear and I have the intermediate between attached and hanging earlobe at the other ear. But it looks like attached anyway. LOL. And the Darwin's ear point. Only TWO brothers possessed that trait. It's like, your ears are shaped like an elf's ears. The first one has Darwin's ear point at both side of his ears and the other one has only one Darwin's ear point. I didn't realise about the structure of my ears so I didn't raise up my hand. But when I got back to my room....

HOLY MACARONI! I have a Darwin's ear point at one ear and normal ear point at the other side! Hahahaha. But Darwin's ear point is so cute, don't you agree? ;)

And as for the blood group, it is quite surprising to see that ONLY TWO PEOPLE in the class possess the blood type AB POSITIVE! Yeah, those two people are UMMU and..who else? SARAH SARCASTIC! No wonder I have an alter ego. Maybe Sarah Sarcastic is blood type A and Sarah Kushairi is blood type B. LOL.
LOL. That's quite funny. Most of us possess the O positive blood. The second highest blood type is B positive, followed by A positive, B negative and AB positive. The negative rhesus factor is quite rare and can be quite dangerous to the women especially. It's a recessive trait. Your future child beared in the womb will have blood that is incompatible with yours. Huhu. You'll have to find a husband who possess the Negative rhesus type blood. Advice. Next time you meet a new guy, ask about his blood group. LOL.

So in conclusion, genetic traits are very interesting things to be discovered and recognized! :)
It shows that we are unique in our own ways. We are different. We have our own specialties,talents and flairs. So why should we wish to be someone else? :D
I'm proud to be ME, MYSELF AND I. :)

MUET-O Part 3

Salam and greetings to everyone who is reading.

Earlier this morning, I went to the Chemistry class. Su'aidah entered the class, informing us that we can check our MUET result using the sms.
Type MUET(space) (I.C Number) and send to 36363.
I couldn't bother to check. In fact, I couldn't care less. Whatever laaa. I know that I'll get Band 4 or below. Huhu. Who cares. MUET doesn't determine your REAL LEVEL of ENGLISH PROFICIENCY!
And so, during the Chemistry lesson, somebody called. My mum. Thank God I put it in vibrate mode. I whispered into the phone. My mum excitedly said " Ei, MUET result is out you know!"
I replied in a monotonous tone " Mum, I'm in the class right now. Later I'll check, OK?"
And I continued concentrating on the whatever stuffs Madam wrote on the whiteboard.

Then, during Biology class. My mum called again. Huhu. She said that she had already checked my result. WHY OH WHY? I don't wish to know.
" You got Band 5,"
" Oh...OK," I was trying to digest the information.
" It's OKla. Congrats!"
" Oh, OK,". Still, no trace of excitements was found visible on my face.

And so, after having lunch with Husna, 'Aina, Wani, Ummu, Sakinah, Su'aidah, Maryam and Izzati, I asked 'Aina and Wani whether they have checked their results. 'Aina had sent the message but has yet to get the reply. Wani has not checked her result.
'Aina said that most of the people she asked obtained Band 3 or Band 4.

So, in conclusion. I should be happy. Seriously, I thought that I'm gonna get BAND 4 or BELOW! Though I once hoped for Band 6 (coz of the money, man! Muahahahaha) but I'm still grateful. I know that I'm not qualified to be labelled as a highly proficient English user. I did not get exempted in English when I'm in UIA and yes, just take a look at the numerous amount of grammatical errors committed in this blog of mine. Hehe.

So, everyone. I am HAPPY AND GRATEFUL! :D :D :D
MUET is not that important. It is not counted in your CGPA. It's more to a personal achievement. 'Ways on HOW to IMPROVE my understanding in the concepts of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY' is FAR FAR FAR FAR MORE IMPORTANT!

Quizzes, tutorials, Flu, Sarah the Red-nosed Sarcastic

Just finished 2 quizzes this week. Chemistry and Biology quizzes. I LOVE the Bio Quiz. Chemistry? It was OK. Let's just wait on how well do I fare then.. >__<
And today, yours truly is currently suffering from FLU. I mean, minor flu. Not Influenza H1N1 kot. Hopefully. Have to see the doctor again. Huhuhu.
Some of my friends in the class kept their distances away from me- in a jokingly manner, of course, LOL, as they feared that this virus will be transmitted to them. Husna said that there is a rumour that someone from KC had encountered this particular H1N1 virus. Atiqah kept on pestering me to see the doctor. Alkaff and I had just realised that we were once classmates when we were in Standard 3 and 4. And yet we failed to remember each other's face. Haha.
I'm positive that the cause of this flu is due to the minor dehydration(it's more to the feeling of thirst, really. I'm exaggerating, LOL) I experienced yesterday. I was fasting, it was really hot and at the same time, I felt extremely thirsty.

Anyway, it was raining heavily yesterday's evening- soon after I finished my Chemistry class. And some of the ACIDIC droplets hit my head. Huhu. It must be due to that la..And when I broke my fast, guess what type of drink did I buy? ICE BLENDED~~~~!!!!!! Hahahaha, yes, I'm so stupid to drink icy cold water when the weather was inconsistent-sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's scorching hot and when I was fasting and my throat yearned for NORMAL temperature water. Huhuhuhu. Mind my sentence. I was feeling a bit loony, deranged, due to this stupid flu. It's not a good time to have flu. As I have to prepare for THREE QUIZZES next week, submit TWO tutorials next week and also, err....I dunno what already.

Okla, that's all. Till then,
salam.

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!

Tengah bosan tengok Buku Organic Chemistry *yawn*

And I SPOT THIS!

It's the latest novel by Sophie Kinsella! *shriek*GOSH! The synopsis is very tempting! I can't resist it. I NEED IT! *cue Gollum's voice* But the release date in on 16th July. Not in Malaysia, of course *rolled my eyes*. And it's probably in hardback anyway. EXPENSIVE!
And I want these two too..And this....

Originally titled 'Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic'. I've already read the other 4 books. Funny eh? I read 'Shopaholic and Sister' first. Then 'Shopaholic Takes Manhattan'. Then 'Shopaholic and Baby' and recently ' Shopaholic Ties the Knot'.
I've read all the 4 sequels and I haven't even read the first book in the series. Ahaks..

And I want these too...I LOVE ALL OF HLOVATE'S BOOKS! WOOHOO!!! I've read Tunas and aA + bB. Couldn't resist them. Want to read them all over again. WANT TO OWN THEM! MY PRECIOOOUUSSS *Gollum's voice again*.

' Harmony Silk Factory' by Tash Aw. He's a Malaysian writer based on London. This is his debut novel and it won Whitbread Award.
" Unputdownable." said Doris Lessing. You dunno who's Doris Lessing? She's the Nobel Prize Winner for Literature la..
His second book. Oh GOSH, the title mesmerized me! It's very tempting. I can feel the absolute hunger within myself. I WANT THIS TOOOOOO!!!! Help me, I'm addicted to books no-one-can-help-me alreadyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!'The Gift' by Cecelia Ahern. Dunno about this. I have read her previous 5 books. And have owned 4 of them. P.S I Love You, Where Rainbows End, A Place Called Here, Thanks for the Memories. Have read ' If You Could See Me Now' - borrowed it from a friend. All I could say is that ONLY the first three books met my expectations. I can't say the same for the other two. Those stories are quite draggy and well...boring. So, I'm having a doubt on whether I should scoop some money to buy this latest novel of hers.

NEXT!
Teehee. The latest addition to my 'Harry Potter' collections. The title is quite childish, no? Haha, dun care. I WANT!!!
ANDD>>>>

'The Twilight Saga'. The Official Guide. Hoho, it's going to be the LATEST addition to my Twilight Saga collection. Muahahahaha.
P.S. Have all of the 4 books at home. But yet to read 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn' as I've made a vow to only TOUCH them during semester vacation. Hoho. So, the books are safely tucked inside the MPH Plastic bag and are placed in my book shelf. Hoho. I guess.


Yeah...I want this book too. They sell this before in front of ZC Foyer. But yelah.. we haven't received the allowance.
I haven't even received it now! Hohoho...so-called JPA Scholarship.

No motivational books eh? I've had enough of 'Chicken Soup' books and 'HM Tuah Iskandar' books when I was in secondary school, thank you very much. I don't need such books to motivate myself. My mum's the one who motivates me. My parents. My friends. And Allah. :)
Oh yeah, I motivate myself too. Hehe.

No intellectual books/ Horizon-widening/ Mind blowing books eh? Who needs those expensive books when I can watch TV and documentaries! Meaning, the History Channel, National Geographic, Discovery, etc. My parents even have the 'National Geographic' and 'Reader's Digest' magazines subscribed every month. I can even watch the news! And even read the newspapers.. Pfftt...Oh yeah, those books are expensive la..

No academic-related books eh? Hoho, not enough eh, 'Organic Chemistry for Matriculation' by Tan Ying Toon? I haven't even finished reading Neil Campbell's Biology. Who does anyway? :P

Oh man, so many books. Those are expensive books some more! Haish..

Okla. Need to study a bit of Chemistry... HUHUHU..

The GREEEEAAAAATTTTTEEESSSSTTT Day so far for this semester.

Today has been the GREEEAAAATTTTEEESSSTTT day of my life.
Class from 10-11 a.m. Bio 3
Class from 2-6.
2-4 pm. Maths 2. Madam gave us some past semester questions and oh boy, those questions WERE HORRIBLE!
It was like, I could only answer half of the given questions. Hey, it's not only me, OK! Those si pandai in the class too, couldn't answer ALL of the questions.
I know, coz when Madam asked anyone of us to volunteer to show the workings of those HARD questions, NO ONE budged from their seats. NO ONE, SERIOUSLY!
And Madam had finally relented on it and showed the workings herself on the whiteboard. Since NO ONE volunteered. Even those si pandai in my class.

My friends and I on the other hand, kept on whining on how hard those questions were Fizah and Syau kept on saying ' NAK BALIK RUMAH!' and Husna kept on whining ' Ibu, TOLONG!'. Hahahaha.
I can't afford to think of any single formula anymore and this resulted in me behaving in lunatic behaviours. The condition Syau called ' Trigo effects'. Haha.
Then, Chemistry. Madam gave us a LOVELY surprise saying that we must submit the other half of the tutorial TOMORROW. She had just given the tutorial questions YESTERDAY!
It's like this. Madam had made a mistake by not photocopying the other side of the tutorial paper. So, we dunno about the other half of the questions. And we are required to submit the tutorial TOMORROW before 4 pm.
And we are also required to submit the MATH ASSIGNMENT on the SAME DAY!

Biology on the other hand, was rather fun. But Madam kept on pointing towards me EVERYTIME she asked any sort of questions in the class. Okay, recapping
" Ada sapa-sapa tahu?"
And off she called some people's names randomly.
" Syed? Taufik? Syafiq? Blablabla" and when none of the brothers could give the PERFECT answer, she will call the sisters.
" Sisters?" I lowered down my head. ANDDDD....
" SYAHIRAH?"
Yessss.... She called me Syahirah! 'Aina Nurliyana punya pasal la ni. Hahaha.
Oh no. Dah agak dah. And off I went, babbling like mad. But hey, at least my answers are correct, OK.
Haha, I don't mind though. Huhu. But it's rather unfair to other students. Coz Madam keeps on calling the names of the SAME people in every Biology lessons. Haha.
And she called Sharifah Nurul Ain ' Kak Pah' ! LOL.

And so here I am, feeling nausea due to the overdosage of Organic Chemistry and Trigonometry.
And now I'm going to Husna's room. Gotta finish the whole things tonight. Oh help me, I think I'm gonna vomit.

Midnight post...

Malizah, one of my best pals just texted me this afternoon, informing me about her final exam results- AWESOME GPA and CGPA. This, makes her qualified to go to INDIA to pursue her studies in Medicine.

Now, you're going to leave me alone in Malaysia. After SEVEN years of friendship. Get me a handkerchief, please. I'm gonna blow my nose. Huhuhuhu.
Dramatic much?

Oh, I'm quite jealous of you! In a good way, of course. Haha. But I'm really proud and happy for you. :) You inspired me.

Catherine's gonna go to New Zealand. Pharmacy.
Maddy's gonna go to Poland. Medicine.
Ranja's gonna go to India. Dentistry.

Who else eh?
Michelle in IMU now. Medic.
Parvathee's gonna go to USA. Biotechnology.
Kaminee's in Australia now. Accountancy.
Michelle Gan Nollie's in Taylor's College. AUS-MAT. Accountancy. Gonna fly to Aussie.
Khye Lyn's in AUSSIE too! Taking statistics or something like that. Chatted with her last week. So lucky la you!
Maalini's in KYUEM. Gonna go to countries like U.K or Ireland, I guess. Medicine.
The rest are in Malaysia, I guess.

What about me? In CFS, IIUM. MALAYSIA. STRUGGLING WITH MATH. FAILED TO RECALL WHAT SHE HAD LEARNED IN BIOLOGY CLASS. HAD MISTAKEN CARBOXYLIC ACID AND KETONE AS THE PRODUCT OF MILD OXIDATION BETWEEN ALKENE AND POTASSIUM MANGANATE (VII) WHEN AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S DIOL!
DIOL! DIOL! DIOL! This is to differentiate between Alkene and Alkane, if you don't understand a bit what am I babbling right now.

I'm a disgrace to the Malay society. HUHUHU.

And yeah, a so-called JPA Scholarship recipient who failed to see any trace of JPA allowance occupying her bank account. >__<
A girl with a thick coke bottled glasses(not really la, the glasses I'm wearing now is stylo milo) and with a cute front teeth. I mean it in a sarcastic way.

My life is pathetic, is it not?
But I love it somehow. T_____T
The cute front teeth and all. :)
