For those of you who use dryers, there's this thing called dryer sheets. Their main purpose is to reduce static, make ur clothes smell nice and also decrease wrinkles in them (don't ask me how they do that).(I am in no way promoting this item, just an e.g. of a dryer sheet brand).But one problem I face every time I do my laundry is that I have to throw them out once they're used. I feel a little

So living in the US has been very different from Malaysia. Over here since the food is more expensive, standard of living is higher, etc. I've had to look for different ways to save money, make things last longer, cook better and yes even getting stains out of clothes. So I'll be putting together a couple of blog posts as and when I come across excellent ideas and call them Urban Tips. They will

It's been a while since I visited Jenny Sun's blog. Her new pics of her visit to Rome somehow struck me that my photography angle appears very much like hers. Haha... it's weird. But I do admit that her photography and love for light has influenced my picture taking style a LOT. Now if only I could get her vintage feel into my pics...Anyway, if you're into awesome photogs, you've gotta check out

Probably one of the more controversial classes that I've set in since being here. Not only does the course not have a syllabus (seriously uncalled for), but the lecture today really ticked me off in a few ways. The guy kept on talking about production (granted it is a production class) and about satisfying consumer demand that the aspect that is the most important - the cow itself, was

so... a couple of weeks ago (on Apr 28th to be exact), the Purdue Photography Club organised a little event with wedding photographers Cathy and David Bock who were based in IL but studies in Purdue.I was really looking forward to this session. we met at the University Church and was happy to see the good turnout that day:)Cathy:David:After being surrounded week after week by Nikon ppl at the

so here's my 1st attempt at writing a recipe/ cooking post:)Last Valentine's Day the ISS (International students and Scholars) at Purdue had us baking sweets and stuff. Came across this recipe which was so easy-peasy that even I had the confidence that I could pull it off:PThings you'll need:2 1/2 tbs of butter7oz Marshmallow creme (you might be able to substitute this with 20 pcs of marshmallow)

it's been quite some time since I picked up a book and actually finished reading it. Just last week alone I managed to finally finish one book on American Culture that I have borrowed since months ago, completed another book (which this post is about) and started on a new one. I forgot how much I loved reading and how much I've missed it. Ever since the advent of the internet, you tend to get

So yeah, I know this post should have been a week ago but this past week has been sorta crazy for me. This was my 1st Easter abroad and I was happy to be able to spend it with some friends. Attended Easter Vigil mass which was absolutely beautiful. Was some sort of a bummer cos I didn't bring my camera to church and had to make do with me camera phone. I didn't expect them to have so many things

This might be my longest title yet:PI remember last sem, I did write on the slip during the club callout on things to suggest that they should have little trips/ excursions downtown where ppl can just take pics.So a couple of weeks back, it was nice to walk out (eventho it was slightly chilly still... spring's here kononnye) and about as we went on a Photog Club walkabout.But downtown Lafayette I

so... ever since the advent of fb, I've been posting the majority (if not all of my pics there). but I kinda found out that sometimes you just have some pics that are nice/ great but does not warrant an album on fb. so I'm back to posting pics on the blog again. just those pics that dun really fit into the facebook social media theme. pics that are more for myself:)I'll try to limit me posts to

The talent pool in this year's American Idol is crazy crazy good. I've been following since week 1 and thru Hollywood Week up to the Top 13, tons of excellent singers have been cut. It's just that good.A real highlight for me was the wildcard on Thurs where Stefano Langone sang for his life with his rendition of Smokie Norful's I Need You. Super gospel tinged song and I found it surprising that

Gosh... It's been ages since I posted anything here. Things have been pretty busy and hectic and tiring.Quick run thru of all that has happened so far. Some stuff fun, some sad, some not that great.I spent my 1st Christmas and CNY in the States. Thoroughly missing home especially when it comes to holidays.

The past few weeks has been kinda tiring. Lots of travelling to deliver samples. 2 hour journey to University of Illinois. Then there was the 4 hours + journey to MSU over at East Lansing, MI. Not that fun when you're driving alone...Anyhoo, last Friday a bunch of us went over to Burnett Creek Elementary School to present on our countries. This was organised by the ISS (International Students and

So I'm done with the research at the Dairy! well at least done with the collecting samples bit. Now it's the analysis and being stuck in the lab that's gonna be taking some time. Not too bad since the weather's turning real cold. But oh lab work... How I do disdain thee...Drove to Uni of Illinois last week to drop off some samples. 1hr 45 min one way.

53 years ago, my tanah air gained independence. Freedom from colonisation. Freedom from oppression. Freedom to rule our own country.Now, as I sit here 15,000 km from the country I call home, I am saddened.

This week marks the start of the Fall semester. With it comes cooler days, more students on campus and of course the start of classes. Not taking too many this sem, just Biostats and Comparative Therio. rest of the time will be focusing more on research work.Attended my second class for this wk (I'm taking this as an audit) - Ruminant Medicine and Surgery.

So there you have it. I'm back in WL. I had a fantastic weekend in Detroit. and yeah I didn't get knifed, stabbed, mugged or anything of that sort. I stayed about less than a km from 8 Mile (yup, that Eminem movie) but the place I was at was simply beautiful and incredible.

a colleague was asking me the other day if I had any of sarah brightman's older albums. dug them up and came across this song which I liked a lot a lot - O Mio Babbino Caro. actually prefer Charlotte Church's version way better.started youtubing it for other versions and came across Maria Callas, Angela Gheorghiu and Hayley Westenra's versions. all different yet nice in their own right.And then I

went over to the old house just now. the tenant (who is also a close family fren) had some stuff to see to. so just hopped on by to have a look also. It's been ages since we shifted. about 13 years ago to be exact. as I stepped thru the front gate and up the porch, memories came flooding back. the times when I was a little kid, tearing up and down the sloping front garden. jumping on the rocks

Happy Easter everyone!!! wat a beautiful beautiful day it was yesterday.the sky was such a pristine blue, the lighting provided by the sun rays that hit the clouds gave off some really awesome blues and yellows and oranges:)went for Easter Vigil the night before at church. with the current improvements going on to reduce the heat, it definitely helped a lot! mass started off with the lighting of

just finished reading this book called Holy Discontent by Bill Hybers.it's about turning wat u're really not happy/ disgruntled/ firing u up about into something positive and making a difference in the world. To place God in watever you do, to put your faith in him and to have a positive perspective on your life.I gotta admit, the book got kinda dry and repetitive towards the middle but I gotta

I have never been so pissed ever since I could ever remember. I always try to reign it in. even when facing ppl at work, etc. I control. tahan. dun let outbursts control you.but I couldn't this time and I was really really angry. I absolutely hate it when ppl say something and assume something about you that is not true or which you yourself are totally against. acquaintances may do that.

wat if you lose passion in something? cos it's so gaddamn boring and every wk is just the repeat of the last. you don't learn much, you don't do anything but sit and wait around for the next one to come in and to do the same old routine.It gets tiring and frankly I'm quite fed up.

I think I'm spending way too much time online. especially on all those social networking sites. They're a great drainer of time and the ideal companion for the procrastinator.I resolve to spend less time checking out facebook, stalking blogs and also chatting on msn. I feel I need more of me time and family time and friends time. so if wanna meet up try to meet in person instead of the cyberworld

wat does it mean to have confidence in someone? to share your joys, your hurts, your insecurities, your deepest darkest secret?to voice your opinions to? no matter how silly how crappy how dumb? to be able to just talk talk and talk.to gripe, to grumble, to rant, to vent.would you want to be entrusted with that confidence? to be trusted? to be relied upon? the responsibility is heavy. the work

that's how I'm running my runs now. breaking it up into 3 equal parts.This time around was the Putrajaya Nite Marathon. I did half marathon (21km) cos I don't think I could ever cope with doing a full one. Not with such limited practice.The run was good. The organisation excellent. The drink stations plenty. And there was no real queue for the Milo and 100 Plus at the finishing line! which is

Their photographs are awkwardly composed. Sometimes objects block the view of the main subject. The backgrounds are

If I were to ask you: What one thing in the world is the most inflatable? What would you answer? A tyre? A balloon? A ball? Nah. For me it would be the human ego. Ever heard of something without any limit to its inflation? The ego would be the priamry culprit. So highly inflatable that it would make any hot air balloon's cover its face in shame.Now this so called "disease" is not limited to man
