Last Hiatus For This Sem

Eight papers, five days.

That is what seperating me from freedom at the moment.
Anyway, just some recap from today's two papers. I guess I have given up studying English in Japan based from the paper this morning. The paper today just summed up everything why the Japanese will never improve in the English. Basically, the questions were set based on the passages which were taken exactly from the textbook. They asked us to select the first sentence to come in each paragraph. Indirectly, they expected us to memorise the passage, which I didn't give a damn about doing that. Another section required us to rearrange several jumbled-up words to make a sentence. What I couldn't comprehend was since it was MCQ questions, each of the arranging question only wanted us to locate the fifth word that comes in that sentence after you are done arranging it. Confused? Never mind, just forget about that. Nevertheless, that is just pure nonsense and time-wasting.
Anyway, the final straw was the last section of the paper. They gave us few English words, and asked us to match with the synonyms of those words which are written in Japanese kanji. And they call this whole shit as an English exam. Perhaps the only bright thing that I could take from this is that it will be my last English paper for the next three years, at least. Okay, I am done with my ranting.
Two down, six to go.
P/S: Just like what the title of this post suggest, I will be on hiatus for the whole of this week. However, saying and doing it is completely two different things. I hope I can restrict myself to come online only on a limited period of time. I have doubts in myself though =P

Rojak-ed Tiger

I was taking a break from studying the other night, when I ended up in one of my friend room. They were blueing watching some Youtube videos featuring Datuk Siti Nurhaliza and her latest appearance in some concert known as Jom Heboh. While watching the video, we were commenting about how she has look different compared to the time when she was still in her single days. It is something common for any artist to gain some weight after marrying, especially after being married to a Datuk like her.
On the contrary, one of us suggested that there are still some artistes who still maintain their body shape, up until their late 40's and 50's. Our chat somehow turned into one of Malaysia's well-known actress and television personality singer, Maya Karin. The topic changed from gaining weight after marriage, to individuals who are from mixed parentage. We refer this group of people in a more common term – rojak; with me being one of them.
So, I was telling my friends that the beautiful and talented Maya Karin is not pure Malay, as she is born to a German father and a mother Malay, Chinese and Indian parentage. What a bersatu-padu girl she is - a mixture of milo + susu + kopi. I would say it a perfect combination. Danny Ooi should consider entering her name into the Malaysia Book of Records as the "Most Patriotic Malaysian". Anyway, came the crapping part. One of us wondered how mixed blood generations is possible and how they are produced.
"Ei, I always wonder how it happen lah. I think they accumulate all the sperms of guys from different countries, say one from an Englishman, one from India, then another one from Malaysia, then mix them in one bowl, stir it properly until it mixed well and then, ... " (you know the next process).
Sounds just like making a milk shake. Or in case you fancy something different, try recalling the art classes during your school days. You usually will mix all the used coloured water together in one bigger mug at the end of the lesson, after you have finished your artwork, isn't it? Mix all the coloured water - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple together and you will get a dark liquid form of chemical substance that you would be proud of it. Now, instead of coloured water, it's sperms from different guys and you get a mixed sperm blood baby.
When you come to think of it, it has some logic in that method, isn't it? Perhaps all three of us were thinking way too far out of the box, since it was quite late already that night. Now, I am wondering whether it is possible to mix sperms from different individuals together. If so, then we shall call these sperms as GMS (Genetically Modified Sperms), to counter the sale of GMF in the market.
Our attention later turned into animals.
"Before trying that on human, I think better try out on animals first lah. Like mouse," I suggested.
"And you will come out with a spotted mouse, or a stripped mouse, rite?" was one of the reply I got. All nodded their heads in agreement to my genius idea. In the end , we came to a conclusion that tiger is the result of a female cat making love with a male zebra.

It makes sense, isn't it?
