July 2008~

First time updating this blog after Jane has got back in Malaysia.

What has Jane done in the past few weeks?

13th July : Got back in Malaysia at the evening.

18th July : Moved to Pandan Indah, KL.

22nd July : Met shouters ( Daniel, Aaron, Ricky) from ShoutOut for the 1st time, drank in the mamak from 11pm till the next day morning 5.45am.

24th July ~ 25th July : Went to Port Dickson with Daniel, Aaron, and David, without any schedule or plan in advance. That's what made the trip simple, yet fun and enjoyable. From this trip, Jane had learnt more about those who went along. ^^

Camwhoring with David's Sony T-300. From front : David, Jane, Aaron, Daniel.

31st July : Met many more shouters in MidValley, other than Daniel, Aaron and David, who are Jess, William, Steven, WaiSeng, Angeline, Satkuru, to catch up The Mummy, which also the 2nd worst movie that Jane has ever watched in the cinema.

Yupe, it's fun and interesting hanging out with shouters.

Haha... With all the digicams and DSLRs around, Jane has learnt and now trying her best to be camera-ready all the time when hanging out with them.

Lunch with "Old" friends~ ^^

Jane was featured in Johnson's blog .

Yeah, Jane knows Johnson and Johny since the year 2001 through an internet community.

There are a bunch out there from the community, like David, Daniel, Amy, Fanny, Lilian, Cheryl and etc.

First person from the community, who managed to meet Jane in Korea is Brian .

After so many years, Johnson and Johny are the second and third person Jane met from the community.

As what Johnson mentioned in the blog, Jane managed to meet one of the community member, David's brother and sister, but haven't managed to meet David yet.

In fact, during this trip back in Malaysia, Jane tried so hard arranging time with Johnson and Eric, just to try to meet as many persons as possible.

The funny part of this lunch meeting was Eric, who was the one suggested for lunch first, but also who was the one who couldn't make it at the end, due to last minute urgent meeting in company. Hahahaha

Anyway, it was a nice lunch. Thanks to Johnson and Johny for the lunch. :)

Unwell~

Seeing messages in the ShoutBox, guess there are so many out there wondering how Jane has been doing...

Today, Jane decided to update the blog and let Jane's blog readers know what actually happened to her.

There are extreme changes in Jane's life, enough to change her mind on working towards her new year resolutions.

She is going to give up the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 resolutions in the list.

Refer to No.3, instead of 4 papers, she is still trying to get 2 done, which are in the progress.

While refering to No. 4 and No. 5, due to her health, she decides to go back to Malaysia for good after her graduation on 25th February 2009.

What have exactly happened to Jane?

7th April, 1230am : For the very 1st time Jane went to the emergency room alone.

17th April, 840am : For the very 1st time Jane went to the hospital to get gastric endoscope done alone.

24th April, 420pm : Jane was told that she got Erosive Gastritis and need to take medicine for at least few months to get it controlled.

Jane has been overwhelmed with illness, stress... which have been making her hardly to breath.

Jane does not know how to be optimistic anymore since the year 2008 does not seem to be a good year to her.

Guess, it's time for Jane to go home to take a good rest in order to get back her healthy life.

Huh?! What?! ......

Recently, Jane scratches her head while wondering, "Why would people always think in this way, say things in this way?"

"What do you do?" , people asks.

"I am studying in Korea, doing master degree." , Jane answers.

"Wah, your family must be rich." or "Wah, your parents must spending a lot for you to study overseas in Korea for so many years."

". . . . . . "

More than 90% of those asking Jane that question thinks and says that to Jane when they get to know that Jane is still studying in Korea.

Maybe in majority's eyes, that's a normal and appropriate "estimination" towards Jane.

It's understandable if one thinks that parents pay for thier children undergraduate level to get a first degree, but how many are they out there actually know that majority (more than 90%) of graduate school students pursuing thier second or third degree with scholarship without relying on family financial support for thier study?

Jane's expenses in Korea for more than 6 years until today, it's all from scholarship and Jane's hard work. Yeah, Jane's parents do send some money to Jane once in a while for emergency help.

But, still, with those responses from others, Jane feels stone, embrasse, or whatever.

Explain on the spot to people who said so?

That's not what Jane would do. Why?

Jane doesn't want others to have a further misunderstanding that Jane is a person who likes showing off.

Just a thought : "Mind our own business, instead of being busybody hurting other's feelings."

Pressure vs Volume~

In thermodynamics, non-ideal gas rule : P V = z n R T

By just considering only the relation of P (pressure) and V (volume), P is inverse proportion to V.

According to the equation, in other words, a satifaction of volume is necessary to relieve pressure.

So, when it is applied to human, generally to majority, it's understandable why one would gain weight when one gets too stress from works, studies, relationships and etc.

Because usually one would eat whatever till one thinks it's enough to relieve stress.

As a consequence, one gains weight, which means one's volume goes up.

Agree? Not?

Maybe you disagree. But Jane thinks and observes that it does apply to majority in the society. :)

Anyway, Jane wishes everyone has a very Happy Chinese New Year 2008 with a good new year ahead.

Be happy and optimism always is one of the good ways to destress as well. :)
