Of Woks and Planets

FYI:
I had a hell-of-a-week last week with 4 exams back-to-back from Monday to Thursday. I'm glad I'm still alive.
--------------------------------------------------------------

My last post was like more than 2 weeks ago (I think) and boy is there a lot I wanna right about!
Problem is...I don't know where to start...

Let's see...

After the crazy week mentioned above, I spent the rest of the week (Thursday night and Friday) and the previous weekend "recuperating" both physically (from lack of sleep) and mentally (too many nerves were fried during the "ordeal")...

On Thursday night, I went out with my housemates and some friends to a chic coffee shop in town that is quite simply called "Kedai Kopi" (Bahasa Malaysia for "coffee shop").

It was chic cos...
(1) It had a chic name.
(2) It had a great interior design.
(3) The food items on the menu were chic.
(4) The food were served in WOKS! That's "kuali" in Bahasa...
(Now that's something you don't see elsewhere ay?) Though I'm not too sure the older generation would approve of that. (We have this belief that eating out of woks, pans, pots or other cookware is a No-No...reasons unlimited.)

Too bad I didn't have a digital camera with me to take snapshots of the eatery. It was pretty neat. Even the washbasins to wash the hands are Woks!

Woks aside, my friends and I enjoyed the open-air concept of the place.
So much so we spent more than 2 hours just sitting there sipping our hot drinks and having our wok-served dishes. Hehehe...

On Friday, I joined the CSS (Catholic Students Society) choir practice after our weekly Friday-in-Togetherness(FIT)...and later we had a birthday makan2 for our friend (and housemate).

On Saturday, my friend and I caught the 2pm show for "Snakes on a Plane" at Sunway Pyramid.

On Sunday, my roomate and I went to Tesco and bought some kitchen supplies. Then we went home and cooked dinner - something I haven't had time to do all week.

And now, its Monday and its back to routine with classes and assignments etc. We have another exam this Wednesday and I haven't revised a single thing! Time to buckle down to my chair and desk again I guess...

Now here's something I read in yesterday's paper that I can't help but state my opinion:

PLUTO HAS BEEN DEMOTED! (Read this.)

What?! How could they do that? Its. Just. So. Sad.

I grew up learning that there are NINE planets in the solar system(Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune and Pluto)....now there's only EIGHT?!

Its. Just. So. Sad.

I used to (and still) remember all the planets name using these mnemonics:
"My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas".

I guess we'll have to settle with "My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nothing"?

Dang...I wonder what Pluto's inhabitants would say to their planet being demoted.

One thing for sure....they ain't gonna like it.
