Room for Editions.

I'm looking for a new image for my blog's background.

Like the FishHead I have now, I want something idiosyncratic.

An image with only one focus and with a transparent background.

Suggestions?

I could have make one myself if I have Photoshop on my MacBook.

I guess I should really go get one soon.

Which reminds me, I ought to check out on something that I've always wanted more than the likes of an iPhone.

Yea, I'm looking into getting a graphics tablet.

But, with the emergence of a product from Apple called the iPad, would it be better to scratch off the previous idea?

The likelihood of a tablet PC being able to be used on a par with a tablet for drawing, is definitely there isn't it.

As you can see, this is a noob talking here.

So please pardon me if I seemed to be confused over a few things.

I do know of the existence of those screen hybrids.

If iPad can satisfy me in that aspect, it's a genius creation.

At least for those artists out there. :)

I mean, there are "killer applications" like Photoshop, Illustrator and so on.

* OMG. CS5 COMING SOON IN MID-2010.

Haven't they thought of making good use of those good old softwares and incorporate them into their new creation?

If that is possible, iPad will be a hell of a superbly useful device for me.

Given that they didn't actually do this, perhaps imply that they have a better idea - yet to be established - in mind?

I'm surprised that I cannot be entirely sarcastic here!

Its "Controls" descriptions never mentioned the use of a stylus though.

As "perfect" as its multi-touch function is, having a stylus is an extra bonus. Think creativity.

Not having a USB port on itself isn't that much of a problem either, there's always the appropriate accessories involved.

BUT, iPad doesn't allow me to multitask.

We all know that's a huge drawback.

Can we still call that a computer?

... Because, one of our main perceptions of a computer, should be that it is a device that enable us to freely multitask.

I feel joy in flipping through a series of opened applications.

It makes me feel busy.

To be Achieved. (Hopefully?)

I consider my Japanese has further improvement now.

:)

I can read raw manga with gradual increment of speed.

AND.

Yes, the main thing is, I actually understand the conversations.

I understand what's going on.

AND.

In the process, I've learnt more vocabularies.

I've learnt how to write some of the phrases too.

Just a matter of practice.

:)

Next project, planning my flight to-and-fro three different places!

Woots!

In the end, I'll be going back to Malaysia during summer holidays.

Might be as long as one whole month, and I'm thinking of using that time to concentrate on READING and learning RUSSIAN.

Also, to help my dad out wherever I could.

Very good.

I JUST FINISHED MY MOCK OSCE.

Yay, I did very well except for three mistakes.

Pft.

HANDWASHING.

-slaps-

ANKLE OEDEMA.

-stab stab-

OCCUPATION.

-kiiiiiiiiiiills-

Exaggerating much.

It's nothing, I will be more "perfect" next time.

Glad that I wasn't too nervous either which helped A LOT.

YAY.

Downside is I have my Inter-professional session at 1.00pm later.

Anyway.

:)

All Over It Now?

I am?

Still gotta be prepared for more.

Tomorrow's gonna be a heck of a day again.

Nine to five.

Half an hour walk from quarter past six.

Half an hour walk after quarter past eight.

Cook, eat up, shower, revise.

Then, it's OSCE.

Oh yea, return of Assignment 2 first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Anticipate a "B" or a "S"?

Still so much to do.

Nope.

Definitely not all over it now.

Keep the wheels running then.

It's good?

Hey ya, the past few days weren't too bad at all.

I enjoyed the time spent with a few friends.

LoL.

Since you asked me about that, I've been thinking that I'm getting quite used to studying Medicine now. Attending lectures, seminars, completing assignments, hospital visits, family study report, exams and OSCE. It's no doubt very interesting.

Picking up the pace again.

And I actually study every single day.

Well, almost.

:)

Reaaaad this.

I like this article.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/01/14/world/AP-AS-Malaysia-Feuding-Over-Allah.html

Comprehensive.

LIBERATION.

Yay, Progress 2 is history!!

I'm quite confident about the EMI paper, much much much easier.

Well, that's since I only studied based on the breakdown of questions from the January 2009 paper.

Yes, that made me a very happy girl.

Was so stressed out till the last minute until I just had to hand in the paper earlier and just leave the exam hall for goodness sake.

Anymore I could have white out.

I was seriously feeling terribly sick till the end of it.

I can feel the paper draining out my brain power greedily.

145 questions, 3 hours.

Stress.....

Lagi stress:

Waited for 2 hours for dinner delivery to reach the door.

Tomorrow's de-stressing activity:

SHOPPING IN TOWN.

short-lived.

seriously,

help me.

why was it that tough...

no,

i just couldn't remember.

help! >_<

Gosh.

It's TOMORROW!

What's for tomorrow?

No idea actually.

Coz I'm gonna be dead meat anyway.

."YAY".

So Cool. BURN ITTT. !#^!%!@&$*$

Okay, after the wave of intense (INTENSE) desire for unending graphic novels as long as 24/7, I was slightly tempted to join a MMORPG and then, tried a silly flash game which did nothing to entertain me.

I was obviously wasting a lot of my time there.

So, in the last three days before exam, I progressed to the stage of being more mature and serious/studious. I studied faster, for one. I read a bit of classic novel, picking up my reading speed as before. I went out shopping (spending money) with friends. "More importantly", checking up on Malaysian news. WOA!

Quite shocked -was I really?- to find that some fools tried to burn down a few churches, in KL. The next second I know, I was chuckling at such display of childish behaviour. Who would know there are ninnies who will raise violent dispute in that manner over an unintelligent matter like "the use of the word 'Allah' by non-Muslims". What do they eat every morning to make them rot their brains to such alarming degree?? Don't they think they themselves are a disgrace to their own religion?

Action like this, a destructive one, more than emphasized to the "world" the twisted nature of XXX. Wait, what am I talking about? There already are hundreds of even better examples accumulated over many years ago. Not emphasizing, but giving others more evidences, more excuses, more reasons, to condemn and to regard in contempt. More than enough.

Even if this incident is used to explain or clarify the true ideals of Islam, it still sowed seeds of hatred in the majority. This fact shouldn't be ignored. Damage has been done.

I don't even think it's worth spending my time commenting on this. It's pointless, unless something concrete can be done about those attitudes and irritating fanaticism. As it is now, I think Malaysia is such a mess. Am I in my right mind to think that I don't mind staying and working in Malaysia upon graduation??????????

To end this, I will only sigh and shake my head , -extreme slow-mo-, in expression of great disappointment (and disgust) in regard of this issue.

P.S. I hope the usually ignorant me ain't becoming more and more aware about the frequency of my flat-mate's prayer timings. Sorry I ain't a religious one. Pft. (Do anticipate my rants on this in the next post.)

P.P.S. I think I should also mention that I'm a person who completely respect what others want to do in their life. But I do have the right to "complain" about something, once in a while. That's one of the things people enjoy doing, whether they mean it or not. Yes!?

=_____=

To the point that I even tried signing up for a random online RPG.

For a split second, I was thinking of how I missed the Xbox 360 at home.

In Malaysia of course.

I quite like RPGs.

Oh damn.

Exam stress does all kinds of things to a person.

I wasn't even the kind of person who is keen on "gaming" in the first place.

And now I'm thinking about Xbox of all things.

Like, COD or L4D anyone?

Yes.

Happy Birthday Dear.

As expected of my younger brother, who is very not talkative or responsive like his sister,

me.

Coolness and indifference defined.

;)

How very touching, and exciting.

Wow.

I was so studying for my exam you know.

But I'm just slightly overwhelmed with how good a story Paradise Kiss was, that I had to stop by here and write something.

Or I won't be at ease.

Both the manga and animation are perfect.

And so they deserve much much much love and adoration and admiration and awe and whatever nice from me.

I love all the characters, so appealing and interesting and cough, good-looking.

Good background and pretty realistic.

I think I'm settling down for Josei mangas now.

Their contents are more mature after all.

Back on ParaKiss.

I just think that it's one of the most original story ever.

Probably typical plotting, but it is still very very engaging and meaningful.

Even though it wasn't a "happily-ever-after" ending, there was still I think, a proper wrap-up for the story.

A pretty justified one too, something that I would go with.

However bitter and sweet it is.

I enjoy the fact that I enjoyed myself.

Now PH resumes to her studies again.

She just can't concentrate properly.

Someone please kill her.

Kthxbai.
