Phew..heaving a sigh of relief..
I was busy doing my research work this whole morning… nonstop from this monday to be exact. All i want is rushing for the poster presentation as well as getting the informations and tasks done which i needed to meet my supervisor this afternoon.. Luckily, he was busy with something when the time i call in and ask me to see him again tomorrow morning.
So i have at least, a half day off..
It isn’t easy to talk to Professor like him. He questions a lots.. and i just can’t simply make up something like the way i did in the past when dealing with those Professor Madya xxx in my country. If i come up with something which isn’t in his area of knowledge, he will question me.. where do i get the source, how reliable is it? what make me think that it works…etc
This is the eighth week of research.. all these while i am dealing with those Profs and Drs. Must say i have gained a lot from them.. no ‘entertaining’ queer talk at all ..hehe
2 more weeks to go, a poster presentation, a written report.. then i can fly home..
‘Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We’ll just glide, starry-eyed
It’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away ‘
IQ question

Kyle is twice as old as Brett was when Kyle was as old as Brett is now. Their current ages together add up to 91. How old is Brett?
Work it out.. i find it quite interesting.

Memories especially in the utmkl’s part just keep recurring constantly and spontaneously in my mind lately. I find myself devote most of my time scrolling up and down my msn contact list.. craving for some old friends to chat with.. It has been a year since i came here.
Bump into some juniors’ blogs today. Their current study life and the comparisons they made in between their current university and UTMKL engage me completely. It is really interesting to see what’s going on with them, what do they think of their past and now… Some common similarities we share, i.e. from UTMKL, and being an international student who study in a place where we dont belong.
20 days to go before i can go back to my own territory and leaving the ‘benevolent’ land i am currently standing on.
Wearing style

After few months of xanga blogging, guess i should come back to friendster. Few of my friends told me they are unable to post comment there.. and they won’t just register an account to post a comment. So perhaps i should just stick with friendster blog.
Something interesting happen today. I was wearing a shirt with words ‘FCUK the party’ on it. Was having lunch in my college dining hall this afternoon. After i finished mine, i was called up by my college dean.. he said he has something to talk to me.
(For those who dunno, FCUK is just a brand, French Connection United Kingdom)
And guess what is it? ‘This might be a small little thing, but i hope you understand, the words on your shirt may be indecent. And one of the resident here complain to me about that. So… ahem… you know..’
I just replied ‘ okay.. fine. I won’t wear this around college in future’ . From my instinct, such complaint is from a long back gown white colar dressed fellow.
Well, this recall me one of my past experience in utm kl. I was wearing a short pant(it covers until my knee) and walking around at night. And i got caught by a senior Malay guy. He said i can’t wear like this and walk around. I must wear a proper long pant where it covers my entire leg… I ask him why is it so? It is night time, and i am not attending any function.. He gave me the reason that those ladies in campus may feel itchy (sexually aroused) when they see a guy’s lower leg without a cover.. I have nothing to say as this is what we call an Islamic ruled country.
Back to the warrane college(a male college) i am currently staying at.. It is operated by Opus Dei, a prelature of the Catholic Church.. and so you can imagine there is plenty of ‘fathers’ who practise celibacy here. And perhaps, the indecent words on my T-shirt make them feel itchy? You never know.. hehe.. It is reasonable to say that after a prolonged abstention from sexual intercourse, one shouldn’t mention anything about it or show anything related to it in front of them. Cite an example, you know how desperate a extremely hungry person such as beggar feel when you eat in front of them.
To support what i assume is right, i check the website on the celibacy practise among catholic priests. I come to understand that The Pope could change this celibacy thing, but he won’t. Because if he does change it, people will then start clamoring for other changes. Or then, every man, anyone on the street who can say a simple prayer can go into priesthood, and everyone of them will be waiting for the society’s donation for their daily living. Our world will seriously lack of productive and contributing people.. I just do not think people should be overtly or subtly compelled to take the vow of celibacy.
Cases concerning priests and little boys/girls are another issue.
Okay.. enough for that, hope i don’t go too much. I am an easy going person anyway.. If my dressing style cause a problem, or itchiness to you, i won’t repeat it. It is just a matter of the first restraint i had since i left a Muslim country.
