American Football Spring Training

Saksikanlah secara live..acara yang berlaku kat Stadium Randall today

So..life has every ups and downs.so what..Im not perfect..

hows my day today?

hurghh..(grumble grumble)
i wanted to do the labwork..so be it..I am doing my first extraction of the algae.

it seemed that , i need to pay the Rgnt the whole month's rent for May. Could you believe that? Dah la tak duduk penuh utk Januari. Kena bayar gak..Tak duduk untuk May penuh pun kena bayar gak. Kiranya ada extra sebulan nyer sewa i kena bayar.

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

Siut betul la Regent nie. Tadi I call orang nak jual basikal kat Craigslist. Tapi dia kata basikal tu dia dah jual dah.

Hari ni masak kari ayam. Sempat lagi I masak pepagi nie. Ayam tu perap kan dgn rempah kari Alagappa yang the last one. And then, letak daun kari sekali. Then bakar kat oven 370 degree for 40 minutes. Kuah kari ayam tu , I wat gak.siap siap. Pastu masak nasik.

Siap2 semua baru g jumpa Ithv tu. tu yang dia kata tu..memang kena bayar cenggitu sebab dia kata I ada kontrak kena bayar 5 bulan. So kena bayar la 5bulan. Sebabnya? Sebab I masuk tengah2 bulan kontrak tu. Bukan utk Fall lease.

Tadi Chat dgn Ghanie. Well dia pun takde mood gak today. So what can you do?
Aku malas lak nak start extraction algae tu, tapi sebab kan..hati ni rasa tak sedap la..kalau tak start2 lagi labwork.menda2 nya dah siap prepare. Cuma nak tambah algae jer.

Kiranya bulan depan lebih kurang 17 May I kena keluar dari the Rgnt tu. And then duduk umah ZZ katanya.

Basikal satu hal lagi. I kena survey tgk basikal lak, Tapi bebila. Nak ajak sapa eh..Entah la..

10 things I hate about you poem

I

I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right,

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around,

and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,

not even close…

not even a little bit…

not even at all.

Field trip to Lakeshore Reserve, ie. Picnic Point -dgn penjelasan

Today I went on a 'little' field trip around the Lakeshore reserve.
Semalam ada field trip. Ada lab mate I dia ada masters dari lab kami ni (Alce namaya). Dia ajar kelas fungi (tapi ditulis sebagai plant pathology-kajian penyakit pokok disebabkan kulat). Pastu dia ajak I g. I pun g je. Dia kata ramai gak nak g Field trip ni. Sebab ada sorang pakcik tu terror dalam mengenalpasti jenis2 fungus kat situ.

I g naik kereta Mrie. Jauhnya dia park. Ala ada la 3 km berjalan dari lab kami tu. Fuyo..susahnya kalau ada kereta kat Madison ni..Gitu jauhnya park. Dia kata dia bayar setahun $700 terus. I naik kereta dgn Jsh sekali. Orang putih ni satu hal, seat kat belakang tu ada baby seat, so ruang dah penuh utk sorang. Tapi boleh je sumbat kat belakang tu 2 orang. Tapi si Mrie tu kata muat utk sorang je. So sian si Alc terpaksa jalan kaki g ke Picnic Point tu.

Borak2 biasa je. Jsh tanya pernah g jenljln ke area Madison ni..I ckp ada gak I g snowboard. Jsh kata dia tak reti snowboard. Seperti baru nak belajar berjalan katanya. Mrie pun tk tahu nk snowboard. Tapi I tak tanya lak pasal ski. Sure depa reti ski kot.

Sampai kat Picnic Point tu. Ada la sikit2 student dtg. Kami tunggu la. Ada makcik mana ntah dtg gak. Utk trip ni, ada studnts dan jugak ada orang luar yang dtg gak. I g jela. Dlm hati duk terpikir naper la I g trip ni. Tapi better lagi dari duduk lab and tension and wat kerja dgn kadar slow. At least ini, boleh gak accelerate or give me a boost. Si Jsh volunteer nak tunggu student lain dtg, so I pun tunggu gak. Kjap je. Pastu ada sorang last student tu datang.

Depa pun merewang2 cari fungus. I ikut jer Mrie atau mamat yang terror Fungus tu. Dengar penjelasan sikit2 nama fungus. I tak bawak kertas atau pen. I ingat nk tgk2 jer . Rasa rugi lak tak tulis. Tapi watper kan..Kalau lichen tu bermanafaat gak. Ada la, belajar nama2 pokok kat situ. I dpt tahu pasal Dutch Elm disease yang disebabkan penyebaran kumbang dari Asia pada 1950an dulu yang mengorbankan pokok2 Elm yang biasa ditanam di jalanan. Pastu belajar pasal slime molds, ada carbon fungus la.. Ada puff balls la.. I tngok gak lichens kat situ. Tapi kebanyakan sama cam kat Muir woods. Ada Parmelia, Flavoparmelia, Flavopunctelia, ada Xanthoria yang oren terang tu, dan ada Candelaria concolor (yang oren tapi kurang sikit). Boleh la..
Ada lak student yang sibuk bawak balang ada alcohol, dia kata dia kena kutip 37 species kumbang utk kelas Entomologi dia tu. Amboi sambil2 tu.!! Dalam kelas ni, ada gak 4 student postgrad- Jlie, Srh, Stphe, sorang mamat tu lupa lak nama dia.

Hmm apa lagi ek. Kat situ, banyak tul daun berguguran. Tapi daun baru belum tumbuh lagi. So ala ala musim Fall gitu. Dan sejuk gak jenjalan kat situ. Lagi dekat dgn lake lagi sejukk.. Pastu lepas abis kutip2 semua. Semua naik bas nombor 80 balik ke lab. Bas tu 5 minit sekali. Students naik dulu. I tunggu Alc, Jsh and student post grad ni naik sekali.

Balik lab, belah2 apa yang patut. And I letak sampel liken tu dalam envelope and keringkan dia.
Pastu balik lab. Balik lab pening ya amat. I would like to blame my headaches to the deep feeling of missing someone. But I know, the fact is that, It is the beef that I ate for my lunch that caused such headache to me. I dozed off to kill the pain. There were things to be done that I didnt do. And the overwhelming feeling is beyond my comprehension. And I wanted to crawl back to my room and sleep, but instead I dozed off slept on my forearms. I ym'ed Acp and he suggested to go to the his workplace at 6pm.

I woke up and went later. We talked. Its just me being lonely, but when I talked to Acp, it felt better. I dunno , I guess its normal you just wanted a friend to talk to. Then as we walked home, the Msian's were playing basketball. And they invited me. Although I know I suck at basketball, or you could say not enough training. I just went on with it. Sampai kul 8.00 mlm.

Hshm B, takde lak online. Sampai dah kul 1 pagi baru dia online.



This is the Prairie. Tapi ni sempadan dgn ladang epal. Tak nampak pun mana ntah pokok epalnya. Yelah pokok kan tak bedaun sekarang.


I ada ambil gak cendawan kat pokok tu. Nama dia Trametes hirsuta. Dia
Polypores of Trametes hirsuta under the microscope.
The pores under the microscope

This is me in the middle of the woods. Its spring time, but not the time where the leaves grows, yet.

Di tengah2 hutan ni, depa rajin berjogging. Wah. Tak dapat I bayangkan betapa takutnya kalau g jog pagi pagi.

Ni pemandangan ke atas . Pokok semua takde daun.




Enjoying a game of basketball at the Regent

International Night kt Memorial Union

ada replika wau, ada postcards, ada ketupat sikit, gambar2 kebaya, keychains, brochures pasal negeri2 Malaysia. Bak kata, booth kami yang paling meriah sekali lah.No denying that.

Hari ni Selasa,

I g lab macam biasa. Tapi balik tadi, ada invitation lak dari MSA Malaysian Student Association untuk merayakan International Night kat Memorial Union. I pun rasa cam nak g gak.

I g lab hari ni. Wat la acetate buffer tu. I dah letak dah Sodium chlorite tu..180gram banyak gak. pastu hari ni I letak Sodium acetate lebih kurang 6 gram dan kena letak acetic acid glacial .15 ml. Betul ke tak kiraan aku. Tapi kalau ikut formula M1V1 tu.. betul la I kira.

Pastu kelas Prof Trina tak de lak minggu ni. So untuk tidak berasa hampeh. I pun mmbacakan diri dengan dia nyer reading asgnment for tomorrow. Sargasso Sea Project nya..Metagenomics. Its a review paper so its quite okay.

And then after going through it for some time (and dozing off in between), I mostly got it . And then Dbr called that he wanted to go to the International night tu kul 6.15. So, I pun bergegas balik umah waktu tu kul 5.35pm.

Tasik Mendota from College Library

Hari Ahad lepas, ada kelas Adobe Photoshop 3 (Part 3) anjuran STS (Software training students nya organization) so boleh g kelas Adobe dan kelas2 software lain. Just kena adjust timetable je.

SO kelas I ni, hari Ahad kul 3.00-4.00. I pun keluar umah dah kul 2.30 seingat I, kelas ni sure ramai student nak g nyer. Dah la free, pastu tak kira kredit lak tu. Sapa yang taknak. Dia ikut 1st come 1st serve. I ingat hari tu, waktu snow2 ni, berlari2 i dari umah. Keluar umah kul 2.30 sampai College Library kul .2.50. Pastu pintu kelas tu dah tutup- Kelas dah penuh. Siut je..Penat tul lari dalam snow. Dah la sejuk..rasa nak kuncup peparu nie..kesejukan. Pastu sia2 jer. Pastu tension yang amat. Pastu tgk kat luar tingkap. Wah pemandangan yang amat cantik . Cantik sangat Tasik Mendota kat tempat depa dok study tu. Waktu tu ada Ifq lak. So, Alhamdulillah, I pun lepak kat situ jap. Tgk pemandangan. Tapi waktu tu. Tasik masih beku lagi.

Tapi kali ni pun I keluar jam 2.30 gak. Tapi kali ni ..takde snow, jalan pun bersih dan clear. So, I pun berlari sakan la..Peduli apa orang tengok. Ala takde sapa tengok pun. Budaya orang sini takde la nak tengok2 orang nyer..Tu la kelebihan duduk kat US ni.

Tuptup tengok jam.2.35 dah sampai College Library. Aik cepat gak I sampai. I masuk kelas pastu tak la ramai orang. Kelas hari tu okayla. Berjalan lancar. Laju tul instructor tu. Dia pun student gak. Graphics design major.

Abis tu, I keluar ke tempat view cantik tu. Pastu nampak ada org bertudung..sure Malaysian nie. Btul sgkaan I, Shd rupanya, I pun lepak jap situ. Borak2 jap. Pastu I turun g Memorial Union, mengidam lak Ice cream. Ice cream jual kat situ ada certified Halal- as long as the premium type nye ice cream. Pastu ada Donno lak kat situ, I dapat 2 scoop on the house. Wah..alhamdulillah. I dapat chocolate cherry and badger nyer flavor.

Pastu balik umah jer. I singgah kat Asian Market on the way back. Sebab barang2 dapur dah abis. So g je. Tapi waktu tu dah ku 6.30 cenggitu. So bila I sampai sana, sayur2 fresh semua dah abis. Kedai ni tutup kul 7.00. So pilihan yang ada ialah beli kobis sikit. Balik tu, I ikut jalan lain sikit. Saje je. Tgk2 area2 umah orang tu, banyak bunga2 purple dah mula berbunga. Cantik sangat. Tapi I tk ambik gambar la. And banyak bulbs bunga yg hampir nak bukak. Nice.

Balik tu, Khrl call, dia kata dia kat Regent, kat tempat students Msia main basketball. So, I pun lepak jap dgn dia. Sejuk kat luar tu.

Tasik Mendota dah mencair

Ni Pandangan ke arah Tasik Mendota I ambil hari Ahad lepas 13.April.2008. Kuat sungguh anginnya.. Okay untuk tatapan korang.
