Yesterday was a downer of a day, a day off from work took me n family to the streets of malaysia where i spent the whole day jus being bored…. We reached about 1pm to which  he aunts plus mummy dearest sped off to the nearest supermart and left me with the trolley in the empty store.. So what did i do? Found myself in sliding up and down the ends of the store with the trolley all the while bumping onto unsuspecting shoppers who were not stingy in their glares…That was fun huh… By the time they finished grocery shopping, it was too late to go to the other mart to shop for clothes so we headed home where we sat through the traffic jam for 2 hours before i collasped on my bed…Woo hooo

anyway dad promised we’d go again this sat… he better keep his promise after i spent 3 hours downloading mp3s for him…

Neways.. today marks the end of the week for me and off to new skool on mon to attachment, am more nervous now than ever.. hope everything goes fine…so much pressure drom the bosses here to upkeep the school’s name..

wanted to have a serious blog today but kinda burned out.. and it’s only 9.15am…shit this can’t be good….

Fear of Death….

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 9, 2007 by intellectualnisa

Hey today i kinda have a surprise for all u coveted readers of my blog…Kwaaa Kwaaa all of 2 of u….Anywayz…. I was conversing with a friend yesterday on death and a certain topic intrigued my mind.. and that is the process of embalming… Interesting eh well i should say….Hmm lets dig right into it…

Ok so embalming was a popular part of history cause as we know most of our ancestoral knowledge come from embalmed corpes like for example the mummies, which was early evidence on thus such an act..


The process of mummification had to take exactly seventy days. Mummification was a process of preserving a dead body, so it could survive the journey to the afterlife. In order to preserve the body, it needed to be as dry as possible. The organs in the body are very moist so they were removed. In between the removal of organs, the body was washed, dryed, left to sit and covered in special remedies. The first organ to be removed was the brain. Long hooks made of bronze were pushed up through the nostrils and then whisked around inside the skull until the brain was a soupy liquid that could be drained out through the nostrils. The brain was not considered as an important organ in Ancient Egyptian times. The people believed that the heart was where you thought, felt, and everything else the brain does was controlled by the heart. Because of this, in the mummification process, the brain was thrown away.

 

Rosalia Lombardo died in 1920 and thanks to a secret chemical embalming process she looks as if she is only sleeping. Encased in a glass-covered coffin, it is hard to believe that this little girl died 85 years ago. She looks like she could open her eyes at any moment, a truly haunting vision that stays with you for days.

In the mordern worrld know however none of that gory stuff really happens.But what they do are almost similar.Corpes are cleaned, disinfected, drained off blood and stiched up and of course nt forgetting the make up. However  the intellectual one discoved a bit of disturbing news here the whole excerpt:

For babies who have died, the embalmer applies a light cosmetic massage cream after embalming to provide a natural appearance; massage cream is also used on the lips to prevent them from dehydrating, and the infant’s mouth is often left open a bit for a more natural expression. If possible, the funeral director uses a light, translucent cosmetic; sometimes, heavier, opaque cosmetics are used to hide bruises, cuts, or discoloured areas. Makeup is applied to the lips to mimic their natural color. Sometimes a very pale or light pink lipstick is applied on males, while brighter coloured lipstick is applied to females.

 

Hair gels or hair spray is applied to style the hair, especially for deceased who are male. Mortuary cosmetizing is not done for the same reason as make-up for living people; rather, it is designed to add depth and dimension to a person’s features that the lack of blood circulation removes. Warm areas, where blood vessels in living people are superficial, such as the cheeks, chin and knuckles have subtle reds added to recreate this effect, while browns are added to the palpabrae (eyelids) to add depth, especially important as viewing in a casket creates an unusual perspective rarely seen in everyday life. During the viewing, pink-coloured lighting is sometimes used near the body to lend a warmer tone to the deceased’s complexion.

Ewww creepy… Neways most of the pictures were gory so i apologize ok if i offended any of ya…

When the Going Gets Though!

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 8, 2007 by intellectualnisa

  

i began my day today reading my mail, i think i made a huge mistake… Cause what i read depressed me.. No im nt talking about those emails that make you think you need to be thankful or those stop the abortion/rape/abuse and so on and so forth, but what im talking about is the attachement i was recently telling u about. Remember? the one where i said i will be attached to tanother school for one week in their lab…

Hmm anyway, i read the email that my principal sent to the other school principal and here is the part that gt me a little shocked…

“our school will be moving back to our new campus end of this year with  new lab facilities and settings. However, one of our Lab staff is new to  the job and lack of experience.”

I mean hello??? you didn’t have to tell him that! you could say i needed the exposure or it would be  a good idea to expose me to new environment to enhance my learning and im just picking my head here… Man i felt so demoralised, already this job is so depressing and further more no sense of regconition of the job at all and now this??

Man is it too much too ask just to be appreciated ard here? Experience? Like that really matters anymore… Anyway im super pissed now…

I cant believe my luck with jobs, i had so many already and i still feel like i haven found my niche, every job seems to have more negative than positive… I can’t wait till i graduate then im so out of here..

Let me tell u a bit abt werking as a lab staff in a sec school, well im mine anyway. U slave ur ass everday to prepare apparatus which u set up all pretty and neat and every other session u have to make sure the items are nt broken clear all the shit the students leave behind, and replace missing apparatus that the freaking student take with them like it’s their freaking property…… And then did i meantion the amt of uneeded meetings and all that shit… Dun even get me started on the last min classes which u race to prepare, and the bullshit reason that come aloing with it… And do we ever get a thank you?? NOOOOO we’re too lowly for that… We’re nt teachers of course, we jus support their asses and get nothing in return…. so what if they have more werk, like i din’t make u a teacher did i…..

Argfhhhh… ok im calm… at least i tried…

I’m stuck here aren’t i……

I hate this world,i hate school, i hate the coming valentine’s and i hate couples making out, i hate girls gigglind at jokes, hate my life, hate school, hate my slow loading com at werk, hate my pristine white lab, hate it all……………….I hate me….

Jus give me time i’ll be ok… Like i always freaking do!!!!!!!

Hyperactivity & All

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 7, 2007 by intellectualnisa

 

Ok so mayb i thought too  highly of the aerobics class which turned out quite haphazardly. First of all we were shown a video and was instructed to do as per what was shown, which was quite easy at first and then turned all disorientated with the staff mostly working their stomach muscles bawling over the ridiculous moves.. Hahaha it was a hoot!

And after that we had a scrumptous breakfast of all kinds of breads, from roti prata to the conventional bread to cinnamon rolls. mmmmmm good…

Then headed over to class to resume all daily activities, and specially today i have to play teacher to these sec 4 class cause their teacher is in a private meeting with the deputy director of schools. So see me shine at what i do best…SCREAM…..

kwa kwa kwa… Anyway the school is having its fund raising fiesta soon in june and all staff are required to sell the coupons for $10 each, hmm how im gonna sell them oso dun noe… Any takers??? Come on, u wanna see me right, what is better than coming here and at this school to have fund and raise money for charity?

In other news, i had a very important issue to bring up which i for crying out loud can’t remember, so let’s just give it time and leave us to wonder…

Oh i got to come to work in gym clothes and i get to stay in it the whole day… Yea super Fun!!!

PS:jus to add, writer is super hyper due to the teh tarik served at breakfast, and she may have written some points to exxageration….

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 5, 2007 by intellectualnisa

Well here we are again on a monday, im sure as sleepy as hell, after watching the supreme sunday CSI… it was really a great weekend, all i did was watch tv, and youtube with an occasional chore or two… Looking forward to another weekend soon.. Weeeee….

On the downside though, there was no one tree hill eppie this weekend thus my mood ain’t that great, well my cousin was there with us this weekend, a tiny one and a half year old kid who kept calling me ‘cha’…Ish…..

Neway, like i said i watched 2 hindi movies on youtube, one salaam namaste which i thought was a great lovey feel good kinda movie, i loved it plus of couse my fav hindi actor was playing the lead, next i watched mujhse shaadi karoge which was kinda ok funny but not so much, still i think it was a great way to kick in the weekend..

Went out only just a while on sunday to pick up a so call camera that was given as a free gift, can’t believe we drove all the way to the end of the world to collect an old camera that u have to use film kind with no flash! im nt kidding who uses those old things? Arggghhh always like that, we never get the good stuff.. CHEAPO!!!

hmmm anyway i finally joined the Journal Club at school will update when i finally muster up courage to go for their weekly meetings, hmm i just realised the club president is only 21 man im old…. why i go thru this i dun noe…

De Sleeping Bug

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 2, 2007 by intellectualnisa

Todays  a rather mundane day, i can’t think of what not to do except werk. it’s only 10am and im tired from werk cause i’ve been in an out of the two labs since 7:30am this morning, i really think it’s gonna be worse from now on. It’s so unfair, when i first came here everthing was so relaxed and cool but now it seems like their throwing a lot of werk on us even to become  more wired close to technology so that we can do werk mostly on the web…

Anywhoos, im really sleepy, accumulated all the lack of sleep so i have to do some catching up tmr… yeah saturday… the day of sleep…

Ok so far i have no plans on this weekend which finally leaves me to sleep and get some rest.. mayb go to the library get a great book and relax or watch some needed movie on youtube and of course get my fav installment of the 4th season od one tree hill on youtube… YEA!  so happy jus thinking abt it, im a simple gal to please huh…

*writer is being interupted by a teacher asking for a spring balance*

Ok where was i  oh ya simple things in life…ok so i just heard from my head of department that i could probably be attached to another lab in another high shool for a day or two cause we need to learn how to set up our new upcoming lab in the new school next year… Hmm dun noe whether it will be a good thing or not i’ll just have to wait and see…

Did i say  i was sleepy…*yawn* Its almost 11am now, 1 more hour to lunch and then everything goes downhill from there…

Wish me luck!!

Looking Through Life

Posted in Craking the code of the Intellectual One on February 1, 2007 by intellectualnisa

The coolness of this morning seems so refreshing and joltning. Thus making it impossible for even skeptics to resist. Sudden clamness invades souls like a fresh start to a new life, in a way every morning is a fresh start, it’s how we start it that matters , affecting how the day ends.

Looking back at my life i realised i made so many mistakes, so many regrets, everyone has some, some more than others. But everytime we realise it, it’s too late. All we can do is learn and move on. Like that is easy huh! Hmm well somehow i realised that every time i made a mistake i blamed everyone and evrything xcept me. No good.. i’m determined to change that. and i will.. hopefully

Can’t believe im already 23, time flies so fast, like i was just 16 yesterday enjoying time wit frens, having crushes nt having a care in the world. Then suddenly u are forced to grow up, forced to look into the world as a whole and u see all the bad things like poverty, war, and upcoming pandemics and realised that there was more pain in the world, that every time u laughed someone was getting ill, kidnapped or murdered. Then u realise how much u had taken for granted and hopefully more greatful of what u have in ur life.

Recently i read about all the school shootings that have occured in the States and i realised how much i cringed at every detail in the website. it is scary how they can muster up this kind of midset to kill, end a life, take away something that has a huge impact in thw world like that. Painful that some of these kids are only 13,…16…. ? Could they be influenced so easily? Do they not think of the consequences? Do they not cherish what they have or what others feel? Painful isn’t it…. The world is a scary place to live, all we have to do is just the best that we can and even that is impossible. Some yearn to fail, like that is an acomplishment by itself, it is justified?

Are we doing our best?

I can seriously say No…

What about you?
