7th month dinner~

the 7th month of the Chinese Calender means something extraordinary to the race. whatever it is, if you don't know about it, go Google it. the adults won't let me talk about it.

but the main point today is, we had a dinner. and i'm pretty sure it's theme is about this special month. the dinner had lion dances, and whatever you can see in a function. so, i was seated with my uncles and aunt, my parents, grandmother, my cousin and a worker of my uncles.

lets make my uncles' worker W.

W likes drinking. he drank all the Carlsberg on the table. after a shocking number of cans, he was drunk. through the entire nigh, he was talking and talking to my uncle who was sitting next to him. and oh gosh, he kept rubbing his fish-glossed mouth onto my uncle's sleeve as he talked. for a few times, he spat some meat as he shouted into my uncle's ears. haha, it was cute. the whole table was giggling.

hahaha... well, it was a cute day...

i'm back! ~

it's been long since i typed in Yani as Bookworm...

and that is all because of:

a) lack of interest from followers

b) blogging becomes boring after some time

c) studies

d) i have other entertainment

e) my laptop can't type in Chinese anymore

and etc. etc...

now, i'm gonna start blogging again... 

but i don't know how long will i last...

i'll be having my exam soon, in less than 3 weeks (i think)... 

so, maybe i won't be too active during this period of time. 

maybe my next post will be about my brags on my papers and grades...

who knows? even i do not know...

so, just wait and see! 

LOL xD

Sec. Batch ~

i have 2 things to post about today,

1. Ding-dong's second batch.
    Ding-dong gave birth to 6 puppies that time, but unfortunately only 3 survived and a male one was saved by miracle. This time, she gave birth to 5, and only one din't survive. now there's 4, and this batch differ from the 1st one. Obviously, the difference is, nobody wanted the 1st batch. we went around the world asking if anyone wants to adopt them; but this batch, people are like queuing up waiting for a notice from us that they are getting a pup.  i have 4 puppies now at my car porch, everyone has an owner waiting for them to be ready to leave their mum. i am keeping a male, as we sent Bella away because she was making my garden look like it had been through an earthquake, and then a tornado. pulling plants out from the soil together with their roots is one of her daily jobs. my 5th uncle Daniel is taking the second male, my 2nd uncle is taking a female, and my father's friend Jason ( i think ) is taking the last female. besides them, there are a few more people who is still asking for a pup. but, too bad, they're all booked. i apologize to those who booked for one even when DD is still pregnant and din't get one. there's just not enough puppies born. DD has worked hard, as she delivered twice this year.. we don't want her to give birth anymore. another delivery will make her suffer more and she'll look out of shape after it and stay like that forever.
   
2. i'm just posting this to tell you guys that i am going to 2 Cemerlang next year. nothing special. buddies~!! happy new year.

moving on!! ~

30th of November... do you know what it means? it means: "get started to prepare for next year's studies". and also the same, next year's November 30th, means that i should already start studying for my upcoming PMR test...i am now in my mum's office, she installed a wireless connection yesterday and that makes things more convenient for me when i want to use my laptop.. (i love my PC more than any high-tech computers) mum's busy with bookings, phone calls, schedules, and etc. as usual.. dad on the other hand, is entertaining two (i don't know who) females.. they look busy, with one of them typing on her PC, and a big pile of files of documents beside... and me? i am here doing nothing but stupid blogging and listening to my iPod, maybe called in by my mum to do some faxing or Photostatting once in a while.. today may be my last day here this year, as I've mentioned, i should stay at home studying and preparing for next year's classes in December.
===================================================================
an additional incident ~ i had a scolding from my mum yesterday night, for yelling loudly as i protested something.  it wasn't just pure scolding, but the deafening voice of hers was participated by blows on my head and etc. i don't know, i just feel uncomfortable these few days, i have this feeling of boxing the mirror in my bathroom when i saw it (i've did that before, but only my ex-maid knew about it), i felt like dumping my laptop on the floor, banging the door until it's hinges can't hold it in place... i just felt kind of... violent.... i wanted to vent something, but i don't know what, i wanted so badly to destroy anything that came into my sight.... that 2-3 weeks, i behaved very very very badly.. i shouted whenever i talked, i protested with a volume high enough to make people jump with astonishment..

but, my point is, i learned my lesson... i should never express my my real feelings too clearly, i should make my cold, quiet and numb personality when in contact with strangers a big part of my true self. that may save me a lot of uninvited problems and conflicts. i am slightly problematic, a little violent in nature, or you may say that i have a fiery temper or whatever. i am extremely emotional, everyone in this universe who knows me knows this, and they are smart enough to leave me alone when i am 'emo' . but all these can be settled when i feel nothing, nothing at all. i may have my regular mood swings inside, but with my cold personality, i can hide it from those around me, and then i wouldn't make the atmosphere as gloomy as myself...
===================================================================
i guess that's all for now, i din't have much rest last night, rolling up and down my bed for the entire night, crumpling my bedsheets... and for that, i'll have to pay a price, i think feel like i am drugged right now >.<

致: 爸爸, 妈妈, 朋友 ~

我不太擅长表达自己.. 从小就没办法说出家人或朋友之间常说的肉麻话, 也从来都不会向爸爸妈妈撒娇.. 我时常情绪不稳定, 这一秒可能会很开心, 下一秒可能会变得沉没.. 脾气暴燥, 尤其是刚睡醒的样子, 我知道真的很难看.. 会很容易发脾气.. 少少事情就开始飙声.. 我不太会表达自己对你们的关心..

与一些不太熟的朋友, 我可能是比较少沟通, 甚至连要聊两句话都很难.. 要跟我混熟, 是需要很久的时间的, 一切都看我们是否有缘吧.. 与我较熟的好友, 听说你们有点怕我啊? 好啦, 我承认我的情绪是有点可怕, 但是只要你们在我情绪突然低落的时候把我放在以边, 过一阵子我就会恢复原来的我了.. 至于你们说我沉没时的样子很凶, 那就没办法了, 我也不想的.. 我已经尽量在改变了, 但还是请你们多多包容我 >.<

爸, 我知道你有时会觉得妈妈在我心里地位比你重要, 但你错了. 你们对我来说是平等的. 两人都是我最亲爱的人.. 对我都一样重要. 我之所以会时常给你脸色看, 是因为全家就只有你能容忍我. 至于你常说我只听妈的话, 那是因为我知道妈的性格跟我一样, 脾气也一样暴燥, 不喜欢别人不听话.. 而你的性格, 能让我以我自己的方式撒一下娇, 拖一点时间.. 但我也没说过我不会去做你要我做的事啊.. 还有你也常说你跟我说话的时候我不回应.. 那是我的性格.. 我被责骂之后是不喜欢说话的.. 但也不代表我没把你的话听进去.. 而且就像之前说的, 就只有你能忍受我不回应你.. 这些都是我每次都不能在别人面前做的.. 找遍全世界就只能在你面前做回一分钟真正的我, 你难道就不能当看不到我, 让我发泄一下吗?

妈, 你是个女强人.. 很少女人能够独撑自己的事业.. 我知道你对我的学业抱着很高的期望.. 我也很想达到你的标准.. 我知道我现在还不够努力, 但想变得很勤劳也不是一朝一夕就能够做到的, 给我些时间好吗? 拜托啦..

爸, 妈.. 你们说你们的朋友们都说我乖巧.. 对吗? 多谢你们从小到大对我的细心栽培, 才会有今天的我.. 可是在那个乖乖的我的背后, 也有个偶尔会顽皮的我... 顽皮的我, 就会在你们的教诲下变回那个乖孩子.. 谢谢你们..

这些, 都是真实的我说不出口的, 在网络上的我, 才会有这个勇气...

你们看不到就算了, 看到的话, 请别来找我谈.. 真实世界的我, 真的谈不起 ~

good luck | 祝你们好运 ~

a few days back, i was chatting with a few adults about the upcoming UPSR test..
前几天, 我与几位长辈谈到有关今年的UPSR鉴定考试..

i have 2 - if i'm not mistaken - cousin sisters ( not so close though ) who are going to sit for this year's UPSR..
我有两个 - 没记错的话 - 表妹 ( 不是很熟的 ) 今年就要考UPSR..

i passed this exam with loads of encouragement from my family and friends, e.g there are tons of [ wish you 7As for your UPSR ] or something similar written in my about me scrapbook..
我在朋友和家人的鼓励下通过了去年的小六鉴定考试, 例如在我的自我介绍里就能看到很多 [ 祝你UPSR考获7个A ] 之类的留言..

with unbelievable good luck, i actually scored the 7 subjects, something i thought was impossible before my UPSR..
可能是我幸运, 7 科都考获优秀的成绩, 这根本是我在考试之前以为只能妄想的事情..

why should i say it may be good luck? because i din't work hard enough ~ i wouldn't hide it from you, i never studied for UPSR..
为什么我说这或许是好运? 因为我做得不够好 ~ 不瞒你说, 我根本没温习过..

my parents are proud of me, they praised me for it..
我父母很高兴, 一直称赞我..

i told them about how i din't study, but they insisted that that wasn't good luck..
我告诉他们我没温习, 但他们强调这不是我好运..

in primary, i could easily score without studying, but in secondary, ~ no pain no gain ~ ....
在小学, 我能轻易地考获好成绩, 但在中学, 已经没有 ~ 不劳而获 ~ 的事情了..

i want to wish all the year six students good luck and pass their UPSR ( not like me ~ please study ) with flying colors
我要祝所有六年级的同学们好运, ( 不要象我 ~ 要温习 ) 在UPSR考获最优秀的成绩

Rasmi - carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with carbon dioxide.

Carbon monoxide (CO), also called carbonic oxide, is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas which is lighter than air. It is highly toxic to humans and animals in higher quantities, although it is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some normal biological functions.

It consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, connected by a covalent double bond and a dative covalent bond. It is the simplestoxocarbon, and is an anhydride of formic acid.^{[citation needed]} In coordination complexes the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl.

Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds; it forms when there is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), such as when operating a stove or an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide.^[1] Coal gas, which was widely used before the 1960s for domestic lighting, cooking and heating despite its toxicity, had carbon monoxide as a primary constituent. Some processes in modern technology, such as iron smelting, still produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct.^[2]

Worldwide, the largest source of carbon monoxide is natural in origin, due to photochemical reactions in the troposphere which generate about 5 x 10¹² kilograms per year.^[3] Other natural sources of CO include volcanoes, forest fires, and other forms of combustion.

In biology, carbon monoxide is naturally produced by the action of heme oxygenase 1 and 2 on the heme from hemoglobin breakdown. This process produces a certain amount of carboxyhemoglobin in normal persons, even if they do not breathe any carbon monoxide. Following the first report that carbon monoxide is a normal neurotransmitter in 1993 ^[4], as well as one of three gases that naturally modulate inflammatory responses in the body (the other two being nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide), carbon monoxide has received a great deal of clinical attention as a biological regulator. In many tissues, all three gases are known to act as anti-inflammatories, vasodilators and encouragers ofneovascular growth.^[5] Clinical trials of small amounts of carbon monoxide as a drug, are on-going.

昨天13号是我生日.. 但很不幸地我生病了..
yesterday, July 13th was my birthday.. but unfortunately i was ill..

但也还好啦, 至少星期六晚上庆祝过了, 是和我五舅一起庆祝的..
but its still alright, at least we celebrated last Saturday, together with my 5th uncle..

那天我家很热闹, 超多人的.. 但多数是大人 = =||
my house was indeed very crowded, but most of the visitors are adults ==||

我的朋友来了几位, 不算多, 3-4位而已, ( 有来的自己知道 )
some of my friends came, but not many, only around 3-4 of them, ( you know yourself if you came )

那天玩到晚上12点才收工..
we stayed up until 12am that day...

我大概1-2点才睡..
if i'm not mistaken, i slept at around 1-2am

重点来了 ~
the main point is ~

第二天早上生病了 xD
i fell sick the next morning xD

看医生检查出来的病菌有.. 发烧, 咳嗽, 伤风, 等等
after a visit to the clinic, the viruses detected are.. fever, cough, flu, etc

医生给我2天MC.. 所以我星期一和二没去学校
the doctor gave me 2 days MC.. so i was absent on Monday and Tuesday

我缺席的这两天班上一直传着我转校了, 收到一大堆的sms和facebook的留言..
my class was filled with rumors of me already switching to Sri Bintang and at the end of the day i got so many SMS and Facebook messages about this question..

我今天回学校了, 你们应该明白了吧, 不用我好象前两天一样一直重复解释了噢??
i went back to school today, got it guys? do you still need me to explain to you one by one like the past 2 days?

哈哈 ~
lolz

A party | 开party ~

i don't know what's got into my parents.. they'd hated parties all along but these years, they like organizing parties.
不懂我爸爸妈妈搞什么鬼, 向来不喜欢party的他们最近爱上了开party.

this time we are cooking. my uncles and aunt ( my neighbors ) came over to help..

这次我们自己煮. 我舅舅,舅母,伯父,伯母 ( 我邻居 ) 都过来帮忙..

i invited a few friends to come and enjoy the party..

我叫了几位好友来玩...

i am just waiting for that time when everyone shows up..

现在呢, 还在等客人的到来...

so boring ~!!

超闷的 ~!!

知道就好 ~

haiz... 有够烦的 ~

why烦? 就是我的华语.. 认识我的人都知道..

最近想听爸爸的话, 逼迫自己别只看英novel, 要开始看华文小说..... 反正我也是因为从小看英文书, 上私人幼稚园, 又从小跟家人以英文沟通, 才能score英文..

一直以来, 我承认我对华文是有些偏见, ( 因为我从来不score ) 但现在我正努力改变我这个坏习惯..

可以给我些时间吗? 还有, 我的朋友们, 有什么好的爱情小说好介绍给我吗? 毕竟你们经验比我丰富.. :)

Ranking in class ~

oh well.. i guess that's it. Damn it.

wanna know about what am i complaining about? go on reading..

~~~~~

i just got my ranking in class this evening. and guess what ~?? i got [17/33 (1 GML)]

bad enough right? but that's not the thing i'm angry about.. it's the subjects that the ranking includes...

chinese students are taking 13subjects altogether this term - i have no interest in the subjects taken by the other races - and dang it.. only 8 are included.

WTH i've studied every subject to get myself balanced and right now they tell me that it doesn't even affect anything...

i originally got 7As, now, just because of the stupid action they took, i am left with only 4As.. which made a very big difference to my average scores and my ranking.

~~~~~

a question here for my dear friends..

• should i only focus on the 8 stupid subjects and get As for them and just couldn't care less for the others since it's nothing to us??
• why should we study overnight on the subjects that are not important? we could anytime get 8As if we only focus on the 8 subjects and we would get no punishment if we fail the others?
• is it right for the school to do this?

almost frightened to death ~

translation to post http://yanisbookworm.blogspot.com/2010/07/blog-post.html

1. I went out just now for dinner with my family, my cousin sister, Germaine went back to Singapore, no one was there to keep me company, so i brought my handphone and earphones there to occupy myself..
2. my mum and my uncle wanted to buy some fruits and a few other snacks, so we stopped by a roadside stall for quite some time..
3. when we were home, i went next door to my uncle's place, and of course, i brought with me my handphone pouch..
4. my handphone and earphones are in it, and dad helped me to take it home first..
5. my aunt was there, suddenly her friend called her and asked for my 3 newborn puppies' picture.. via e-mail
6. hence i went back home and asked my dad to get my phone from my pouch and be the cameraman to take my puppies' pictures.
7. my dad opened my handphone pouch and then angrily informed me that my handphone is nowhere to be found in my pouch.
8. i rushed to my uncle's house and searched all over the place.. and found nothing
9. and then i ran back home to get the car key to check the car.. also nothing
10. no more ideas, i got my dad to call my number, and so crazily we heard my ringtone ringing in the living room.
11. it brought us to my pouch.. and it turned out my handphone was in it all the time, hidden under my earphone wires, and because of the slim design of my phone, my dad din't realize its existence...
    
12. i was so panic before and was so shaken then that i couldn't respond to it correctly.. i burst into tears, but still disturbed by laughter.. i really don't know how did i look right then..
13. my dad kept apologizing to me the whole night, i wasn't angry with him, i would like to tell him that, but i just can't get these yucky words out of my mouth..
14. but we took the pictures at last..

差点被吓死 ~

incident~

1. 刚刚跟家人出去吃晚饭,我表姐回了Singapore,没人跟我谈天,所以带了我的电话和耳机,到那听歌..
2. 回家的途中,妈妈和舅舅要买油条和水果.. 在路边摊呆了一阵子..
3. 回到家,我到隔壁舅舅家一下下.. 也当然带着我的电话袋..
4. 电话袋里装着电话和耳机... 爸爸先帮我拿回家去..
5. 当时表姨也在这聊天,突然朋友打来要我那3只可爱到暴的小狗的portrait,要我e-mail给他..
6. 所以我回家要爸爸帮我拿下camera,当cameraman帮baby拍照...
7. 爸爸拿起我的电话袋开了zip,过后生气地说里面没有我的电话..
8. 我着急地跑到舅舅家到处找我的电话.. 却找不到..
9. 之后又跑回家拿车匙,到车上找.. 还是找不到..
10. 无计可施了,爸爸就call我的number,竟然在客厅里响起了我的电话铃声..
11. 觉得超奇怪的,便去check我的电话袋,原来它一直都在里面,被耳机遮着,而且机身交扁,爸爸没发现..
12. 我一下子反应不过来,便开始流泪,但当中却含有笑声.. 我当时的表情应该很kai吧~!!
13. 爸爸一直跟我说sorry,但我可没怪他,可是这种肉麻的东西我说不出口...
14. 最后还是拍到照片 ^^

Special art ~

my cousins. specially for you...

new life ~

these are my doggies. when this picture is taken, they were just lovers. right now, they're already a loving couple!! with 3 babies. actually ding-dong, the one on the left, female, gave birth to 6 puppies, 2 males 4 females. but unfortunately 3 passed away... and now, only 1 male 2 females are left. a few days ago, those small cuties start learning to walk. they walk shakily. stumbling every a few steps. haha... its such a pleasure to watch them.

Top 5 things i hate the most ~

the top 5 things i hate the most in my life are:

• someone forcing me to w ake up when i absolutely feel like sleeping longer
• someone forcing me to eat in the morning - around 6am ~ 8am -
• back-stabbers, gossipers, complainers, whiners, childish children who makes too much noise, the unfilial, unfair teachers/adults, etc
• someone who likes to interfere with my daily activities
• to find my parents still at home when i wake up

yes, the top 5 things i hate about... let me explain

~ i guess this one applies to everyone. who likes to be waken up when you wanna sleep?

~ i have this crazy habit, that i don't eat after i wake up. i need to wait for a few hours before i can get anything inside my mouth.

~ people i hate.. i guess thats pretty clear up there, no need to explain further.

~ e.g my maid. i don't like her to always come round the door to just say those annoying (good morning) and stuff. i hate her asking me ( do you need anything ? food? water? ) all the time when i am doing stuff. it is irritating.

~ i am not used to having parents at home with me all the time. they have their own work and offices to go to. i usually wake up to find them out or just in time for a few words with them. so, my mornings are free of parental supervision. i feel free. at night? yeah, they are home. but as always, i spend my nights with them, so its not so uncomfortable. but, i like to do my own things in the morning, afternoon. if i find them here, i can't concentrate. i just feel like there's a CCTV poking its nose into the things i do.. that feeling is - uneasy -
