I didn't do much today except for dreaming my future comic I wish to do someday which I doubt, revising AI module and eat alot.
If you haven't heard Kate Nash's album, you should go listen to it! So good, but it's not for those who wants the singer to sing well into the song, as my brother doesn't like her songs because of that reason.
Dull day

Skinny is the new look
Saturday, 29 December 2007
Why do people think skinny is the new look?
I think it's quite sickening to the stomach, every time I see a person with their bones sticking out I just feel like vomiting. What's wrong with curves? I don't have curves myself as I got no hips, I'm like a dude with a lot of fat. If you really want to keep your figure skinny, you should trade your life with someone who lives in a 3rd world country. That way everyone is happy with themselves.
Yeah, I do wish I weighed less than I do now. But not by starving and not eating properly! I want to just tone myself especially my thighs and my arms and belly ^-^?
-----------
Today, it's hard to understand the meaning of spatial neighbourhood for my exam and that's just one small part I have to understand. I have been quite of the lazy arse lately but I think it's because I have recently stayed up late to revise during Christmas day time.

Happy Xmas
Tuesday, 25 December 2007
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!
Hope you all had a great day today :)
On Christmas day, it wasn't all that bad nor that many people came this year to our house compared to previous year since the works that worked at the parent's shop didn't want to come (fine by me, it's less people to entertain aka look after).
I woke up pretty late today, since stayed up revising with my sister. I was doing database module until 7am as that's when I was just too tired to do anything else ;) When I eventually woke up from my sleep which wasn't much, since I couldn't be arsed to go to my room to sleep so just slept on the sofa. I got woken up by my brother brushing his teeth downstairs (it's his habit of brushing his teeth long and hard therefore noisy!). I had to help tidy up but there wasn't much to tidy up since we had prepared all the tidying a couple of days before hand.
So I just went to my room to relax on the internet but there isn't anything much to do on the internet except read up on the updated comics and play games on Neopets.
When people started coming into the warmth of my home, I just pretty much stayed in my room since my older cousins were on my computer on the internet, you would not believe how boring they are! They went on facebook and went to our old high school group and look through all the members of that group, just to see if they recognise anyone... =.= pointless. I would have liked to spend time doing something more productive! But I couldn't leave them in my room since it's my room and I don't like people going through all the internet sites on my computer.
Eventually, I told them to go downstairs and off my computer, but they only left my room because they finished looking to the last person in the group.
For dinner we had the typical "Da Bi-no" - Chinese steamboat, so original to do this in events like today at my home. I didn't really get too full as didn't like eating food like this. I'm more of traditional full on rice, meat with greens, not really on buffet type.
Ai ya, why do people like to do steamboat? I find it too dull but then again it's less cooking for my mum and mess though. We have the same food on the table every year, too bad it wasn't summer where the sunny would last longer in winter ;) As if that was the case, I would totally go for bbq!!!
Afterwards, me, my sister, my sister's boyfriend K, and my 2 younger cousins were playing card games whilst my aunt(my 2 younger cousin's mum), my brother with my 2 older cousins were playing some good board game.
My parents were complaining that there wasn't that many pictures this year compared to last year, it's called last year I didn't have much fun as I was stuck being the camera-girl all day. I didn't want to do it as much this year since I couldn't be arsed to be it as much.
Amount of people came this year is: 15
Me and my family (5)
My aunt's family (4)
My aunt's daughters (2)
My grandparents (mum's side) (2)
Not related "uncle" (1)
and my sister's boyfriend (1)
Amount of people came last year: 20 or so.
I got pretty good presents this year, MONEY!!! £160! 60+% from my parents lol!

Boiling egg is simple
Friday, 21 December 2007
Why do people think boiling an egg is simple?
It's simple to "boiling an egg", is it? Just because you are just leaving it in the hot water, it's hard to know when the egg is boiled enough. As people usually say boil the egg for 10-15minutes, however everytime I do that the egg is still quite runny which is nasty to eat. I have to boil my egg for over half an hour just so it's cooked boiled hard egg. Sometimes I don't trust that the egg is boiled enough so I leave it in the boiled water for 40minutes plus. So don't always think eggs are easy to boil! It's like toasting a bread isn't all that easy if your toaster is not big enough, as I always have to flip my bread around just so it will get toasted on the one side of the bread too.
-------------------------
Today was probably the most jinxed thing that happened to me in my life.
Yesterday, I told A that I couldn't go see her at university tomorrow as I might have to work, which was supposedly a lie. But about 3ish, my dad called home to tell my sister and brother to get ready for work since they both said they were going to work today. So when my dad came, my sister wasn't ready at no-state.
The tutor came to our home to teach her certain stuff on the computer had come late today, wouldn't the tutor have to apologise and re-schedule since she came late, instead of just staying there; she should have said something. Since people have other appointments to commit with.
So whilst I was busy doing revision as usual, my dad told me to go instead. So I was forced to go instead of my sister, when I told them that I'm going tomorrow a while back. I worked for a couple of hours with my brother. Before the shop opened, whilst I was packing the prawn crackers, my back kept giving me pains. It was hard to move my head and move.
When my sister finally came which was about 1930. I thought I was going straight away but I am glad I didn't since I didn't see no bus going pass the shop whilst I was at the front of the shop; since about that time it's usually the busy hour. After 15minutes or so, my dad told me that I could go home, which was good timing. Since I walked up to the bus stop and the bus was there about 2 minutes later.
I guess no-one really takes the buses at 7-9pm since the buses were going pretty fast with no-one getting off or on the bus regularly. I had to take 2buses to get from my dad's shop to home; Arriva bus from Gildersome to Leeds town, then another one from town to home. Whilst I was getting my ticket to town, since the bus sign did say to Leeds, I told the bus driver "to town please". He goes: "pardon?". "to Leeds town". That's when he understood me, but I don't get this, there isn't any other towns in the journey except to just to go to Leeds town.
When I got off the bus near Next Outlet store on Boar Lane, walking to near Corn Exchange to catch my bus home, I walked as fast as the woman who was on the same Arriva bus but got off the bus which stopped near Corn Exchange. I must walk pretty fast or that the woman is a very slow walker.
It only took me an hour to get home with 2buses with about a distance of 10.6miles difference (checked on google map). It was very cold outside about 0 degree, I was practically frozen fat! I didn't bring any gloves nor scarf with me since I was forced out of the home to work as my dad had to go asap.
It's midnight almost and still I am trying to cure my back/neck as it's giving me so much pain. I got my sister after taking a shower to try massage me but still doesn't help. She kept massaging me so hard that I was constantly screaming pain out.
Anyone got any idea how a 20year old could have back pains already?

Friends Forever?
Wednesday, 19 December 2007
Is that ever possible? Only possible if you are at the same university with them or that they live close to you I personally think. I just recently looked at my collection of Cinema tickets I went to with my friends, they just bring a tear to my eye that we don't really do that any more. But when we are together, we act as though we just see each other everyday which is a good sign. I do not take pictures for memories but more of keeping a receipt of the day. As none of my friends like to take pictures, especially me since I really don't like looking at how huge my nose is when I smile ^^''. Do you collect stuff that reminds you of the day you had with your friends? I guess friends forever is true if you do act the way you do when you meet back together.
These are the cinema tickets I collected when I went to watch a film with my friends:
Every time we went to watch a film, we always go to play bowling no matter what.
1. I don't know why that is there but I guess I lost the cinema ticket that came with it or that we didn't watch a film that first time.
2. Hell Boy - Eew! Never ever watch that film if you decide to want to watch it! One of the worst films ever! My friend was sleeping as it was so boring with like the corny-est jokes ever!
3. White Chicks - A classic comedy film and would recommend it yes.
4. The Grudge - Meh, okay.
5. The Cave - yawn! About monsters getting them in the cave.
6. The 40 year old virigin - hell funny!
7. I don't know what we did but probably just play bowling?
8. She's the Man - so chick flick! Yack!
9. The Break-Up - yawn so much! I thought it would be better than the advertisement that was shown but heck no.
10. John Tucker Must Die - okay I guess. Bits were hilarious.
11. Run, Fat Boy, Run - Man, why advertise it so much yet it's not that that funny!
This is a keyring my friend gave me and my other friends as a friendship thing:
My friend gave my other friends one each too. I always look at mine to remind me that we will always be friends. There is only 4 of us but I'm not fussed as long as we are happy.
---------------
I didn't do much work today since I was just so tired from work all together. I mainly finished watching DN Angel on youtube. Good but not that great. I think I'm being a tad harsh on most things I watch. But I did enjoy watching Death Note. Chobits was abit too romance.

Are pigeons scared of humans any more?
Monday, 17 December 2007
Are pigeons scared of humans any more?
Once, I was walking with A to our bus stop and a bird just flies ever so close to me and A and low to the ground too; I was just so shocked that it would come that close to us.
The next day after that event happened, we were walking at the same spot but found a squashed pigeon instead. Hopefully, it was the bird who didn't know how to fly away from me >.>.
Another time, which wasn't that long about 2weeks ago or less, we were just next to the Leeds library. This bird was just walking around, so I asked A to scare it away from the pavement so we could walk. Yet, every time A went near it, it just walked forward and kept walking forward so I was just slowly walking behind A. Man, it would not fly away, grrr! Until we arrived in front area of Leeds library that's when it flew, about time!
I think the birds are becoming part of the citizens in town since they don't even become scared of us, perhaps someone should gather the birds together and show them what will happen if you don't fly away from us.
Ugh! I saw another squashed bird near my bus stop as well. I just don't get how did the bird get squashed? As it can fly, probably was too late before it could fly away, hahaha! (Okay, sound like animal cruelty, don't I? I don't hate hate them, I just don't like them near me :) If they were in a different area away from me, we will live fine.
----------------
Today, I went into university to do AI with A. It was so hard, we didn't even understand any of it. We spent 2hours on the same part about Kernel and the Convolution example. But I decided that I didn't want to spend that long in university doing AI that I haven't done much revision of, so I went home soon as 2hours with A was up, I felt so in a mode of anti-social. I didn't want to contact anyone apart from my family.

Teen mood
Sunday, 16 December 2007
It was a good day of revision, as I revised so much for one subject. But after revising, I just realised that it's not that much, only one chapter minus a page which is equivalent to one lecture.
Argh! My brother was being so rude today whilst I was on the phone. I was just talking on the phone in the living room, then my brother comes into the room and says to me to go away as he wants to watch tv. But the only thing I thought was weird is that he always goes into his room when he's about to eat except for today.
I said: "no as I'm tired and I am on the phone".
brother: "So it's handheld so go away. I want to watch tv".
Me to A(on the phone): "Just ignore my brother as I was here first"
brother: LALALALALALALALALALALA!!! (very loud)
Me: brother, please be quiet! I'm on the phone!
brother: No you move, I want to watch tv! LALALALALALALA!! (continuing to shout out loud)
Me to A: "Sorry, my brother isn't usually like this. He has never been like this, only this time"
brother: LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!!!
A to Me: "Just move away as I am getting a earache from hearing him"
(I had to move to my room)... >.>
I don't get it, he's 17 years old. Also, he wasn't watching anything that great that he wants to watch, just random channels. So why this time he decided to act like a spoilt brat? I know I was rude for not moving away, but it's happened before that I was on the phone and yet he would just eat upstairs with his food. I think the teenager mood is kicking in at the moment.

Do you ever wonder if the course you are doing now is the right course?
Friday, 14 December 2007
Do you ever wonder if the course you are doing now is the right course?
Every website I have been to, to answer some quiz to see if the course I am doing is right for me.
From: http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=119158
Do you see what I see too? The top two choices is similar to the course I am doing now in a way, Accounting and Information Systems.
From: http://quiz.ivillage.co.uk/uk_work/tests/career.htm
"You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like things to be left in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.
You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them."
(I'm surprised this one didn't say to become an Accoutant).
From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/careers/
"This questionnaire is designed to get you thinking about the sort of jobs that might suit your style.
John Holland's model of vocational choice suggests that people with particular interests and styles tend to favour certain types of jobs. Holland described six main types of person:
* Realistic
* Conventional
* Social
* Enterprising
* Artistic
* Investigative
Knowing the types you most (and least) fit can help you think about the types of role that may suit you.
Read below to find out what careers you seem to be suited to based on your results in the test:
Investigative
Your results suggest that Investigative type work might suit your interests and preferences.
Investigative types prefer thinking to action, they like working with information and may prefer working with ideas rather than with people. They tend to like jobs in which they can research, analyse and solve problems (or come up with new problems!) and prefer using their brains to their interpersonal skills. Typical roles that suit Investigative types are scientist, engineer, laboratory worker, computer programmer, pharmacist and vet.
Conventional
Your results suggest that Conventional type work might suit your interests and preferences.
Conventional types are happy to work within systems and large organisations and tend to focus on accuracy and efficiency, preferring to know what is expected of them. They tend to like things to be organised and predictable and are often involved in roles that involve recording, sorting, documenting and organising. Typical roles for Conventional types include the range of administrative and clerical roles (e.g. in the government and financial sectors) as well as accountancy, banking, bookkeeping, secretarial work and some inspecting roles.
Realistic
Your results suggest that Realistic type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Realistic types generally prefer action to words, they like physical activity and may prefer working with things to working with people. They tend to favour jobs where they can work with their hands or produce things, and often like outdoor work. Typical roles that suit Realistic types are gardener, mechanic, driver, electrician, farmer, sportsperson, skilled trades, labourers and some engineering and military roles.
Social
Your results suggest that Social type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Social types like roles that focus on helping, teaching or supporting others and very much prefer working with people to working with things or ideas. They tend to prefer working in teams and like to feel they are doing something useful. Typical roles for social types include teacher, counsellor, nurse, minister of religion, clinical psychologist or police officer.
Enterprising
Your results suggest that Enterprising type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Enterprising types like persuading and influencing people as well as controlling, managing and selling to them. They like to take a lead and are often quite motivated and ambitious but may be impatient and can find rules and detail frustrating. They tend to favour roles such as salesperson, manager, estate agent, supervisor, lawyer, advertising or marketing executive and often like positions that have status and prestige.
This brief questionnaire can't tell you exactly what you should do. It only suggests work areas to think about that may match the way you like to work but it can't tell you whether you have the skills and qualifications for these jobs."
I went to some other websites before but I forgot which websites they are but they were all saying that I should do Accounting and Computing types of jobs. So have I chosen the course that was right for me then? I don't know as this course is way too hard for me, or perhaps I'm at a university which is too high standard for me?
-----------------
Today, I woke up at 12pm so I slept for 15hours... well sort of less since my sister and brother was screaming at each other at night time, grrr >=( I was so annoyed when I kept getting awaked by them two, I mean once okay but twice? I don't think so! When I told my brother off about the situation for talking ever so loud at night when someone is trying to sleep, he goes and says: "Serves you right, now you know how I feel when I tell you to be quite at night". What the 'eck? How flipping mean is that?!! I don't do it on purpose! I quieten my voice at least when he tells me to be quiet. But it was nice sleep from no sleep in 2nights in a row, well okay, about 3hours sleep and 2hours nap then ^_^.
I only got woken up by my aunt asking me to look after my cousin for a 2hours before her lesson at ballet. It was kind of weird, she didn't eat much at lunch time.

Eep late!!!
Thursday, 13 December 2007
Today, I thought I was going to be late to hand in the coursework, as I woke up at 7.15 and thought I would wake up at 6am to get ready to go at 7:00.
So as I woke up at that time, I just quickly dressed up and quick raised my face and left the house and I didn't have time to eat nor brush my teeth (yeh, I know Yack!).
But I arrived in town about 8:00 and had to wait for a different bus to university as I couldn't be arsed to walk it as too cold. So cramped up the bus at that time. I was thinking to myself, does anyone notice that I had just woken up and if I had anything on my face?
But I got there way enough time, I just printed out my work and gave it in, trouble alert though, as I tried to staple my work together, the staple couldn't go through all my coursework paper. So I had to staple twice even though our lecturer said that if you do that it could affect your marks. How the eck am I suppose to staple it with just once when it looked as though it was going to drop into pieces with just one staple.
So I stayed in university, for abit after coursework was giving in. Glad it's finished, but for some gut reason I think I'm going to be fail big style.
I'm going to sleep now. Night x

Grr coursework
Wednesday, 12 December 2007
Today, went into university about same time as yesterday. A came too, she was doing the coursework too. L and M gave in the coursework before 5pm, as the SOC room would lock after that and the only way to get in was if you were in already. L and M went at 5pm after M handed in his coursework on the dot of time. Man, why does it take forever to do the coursework for me!??! A went at 5.30 whilst I stayed university again until 7ish. I had to go back in there after 7pm again as I forgot to submit my python code online,dopey me! Now I have to type up the report ready for tomorrow 9am.
I stayed up again today but only until 3:30ish and decided to go sleep for a bit. (posted this part in morning).
