Out in the wilder part of the woods, lived 7 rodents who were forced to stay together in a big oak tree because of a Rodent Conservation Programme. They were made out of 5 squirrels and 2 hedgehogs. Jay the squirrel was chosen as head of tree because she was outspoken and easily bullied. All the animals got on fine together.

Except Shannie the Squirrel and Vinnie the Hedgehog were not on good terms because they accused each other of leaving their mass of tangled fur in all the cavities(their living room, kitchen, bathroom) of the big oak tree. Jay the Squirrel was made to call or a tree-house meeting and she didn't really wanted to but she was forced to write down the stupid rule of picking up each other's fur should anyone shed any. It was a very embarrassing time for all the rodents.

Jay is trying her best to maintain the friendship between all the rodents in the house. But after all, hedgehog and squirrels are different species even though their all rodents.

Lately, Nini the Hedgehog has been suffering from a bout of skin problem. Nini the Hedgehog usually leaves the quiet oak tree area for the centre of the woods every now and then to pluck the so-called miraculous herbs that grows in the wilderness of the centre of the woods. Everyrodent in the oak tree is happy for Nini because it seems that she is getting better. Unfortunately, one of the side effects is that more clumpy fur is being shed and Nini the Hedgehog aggrevates it by picking at it and Shannie The Squirrel, Kiki The Squirrel and even the docile Cici the Squirrel are uncomfortable with it. They had the cheek to ask Jay the Squirrel to tell Nini off for shedding her fur everywhere. Jay the Squirrel refuses to do anything about it because it will be so damn rude to say something like that.

However, Jay the Squirrel had to clean the mess that was made from the fur shedding business and Jay lost her appetite for the big mound of nuts which was her dinner. Jay the Squirrel is not sure if she should blame Nini for making a mess and should know what's happening and perhaps take the initiative to clean it up or if she should just stomach it in order to maintain peace in the entire tree. After all, they have no idea how many more summers and winters they will have to go through together.

On a different note, Jay The Squirrel is enraged by the owner of the mulberry bush(which is in all honesty has basically crappy berries but it is the only source of food for miles and smiles) for showing too much of her nice squirrely legs in the latest short shorts made from Hisbiscus leave.(Jay the Squirrel was in the Merdeka Mood - hence she was using the Hibiscus flower patriotically). The Mulberry Bush owner confronted Jay The Squirrel in front of all the entire animals awaiting their turn to pick mulberries. The mulberry bush owner does not allow Jay the Squirrel to wear her Hibiscus leave shorts anymore because they are too short. Another squirrel in a different conservation programme was wearing even shorter shorts(perhaps made from Jasmine leaves) and yet SHE was not told off.

Jay The Squirrel hates to be reprimanded for a dress code that is so irrational.

Maybe Jay The Squirrel will consider going naked for her mulberries picking session; just like how all squirrels were once a long time ago. 

We must've reached a new era of modern technology.

I can't believe that I actually feel nostalgic when I'm making full use of my email accounts. The university does not allow us to use any form of chat programs which is why I am relying fully on my very reliable gmail account..

Who would've thought we'd see the day when email becomes old school?

So far in my now utilised email account, I've discovered that:

1) My Aunty who is my mum's age has just graduated from Monash University
2) 9th Uncle passed away on Tuesday morning.
3) Viagra is good for penile health.
4) My mum's family all damn happening, using email all. Oldest user is now 70+ years old.

My mum has been trying to keep up with the times as well. "A mouse? What's a mouse?"

Maybe one fine day she will get her own email account. :)

It's quite a pain in the ass having to sms your friends when you're thinking about them or if you just feel like crapping. Back in Subang, I only had to lift the laptop onto any surface and I can sprout nonsense to the next crazy internet addict.

For the mean time, my housemates will have to deal with the fact that I will announce to them, "Miss Lai, you want to shit now. Please go to the toilet."

Sigh. I do miss my MSN messenger.

On a different note, the house is fucking smelly.

We are not sure if it's one of our BOs or if it's any of our shoes. I suggested that perhaps there is a dead body decomposing in the next house(too much of CSI). That would be exciting! Then the anatomy museum in uni will have an extra dead body to work on. Just got to make do with the droopy tissues that are starting to fall apart and put them together with abit of cellophane tape. If there is slime sprouting from the cadaver's wounds, nothing bits of napkins cannot fix.

I'm sure it's just a dead mouse; my imagination gets the better of me at times.

Then yesterday when the bus dropped us at the neighbourhood shops to buy some necessities(they only give you this treatment on your first day at AIMST.. to make you think, "wah! so good wan ar!" Wrong leh, they will come up with a thousand and one excuses about how making that minor detour will for example result in them missing out on the birth of their 7th grandchild), I stepped out of the bus and a familiar pong of smell hit my nostrils.

I stopped in my tracks and did a stage whisper, "Lishen, THIS SMELL. It's THIS smell!!"

Lishen tilt her nose up in the air and took a deep breath.

"Stupid girl!! Who asked you to breathe so hard?!" I yelled as I picked her off the floor, splashing her face with some water from my bottle.

But alls well as we've finally deduced where the horrid stench originates from. IT'S THE BLOODY DRAINS.

I lodged a complain this morning at the Student Affairs and the head of that department, Mr. R, attended to me. There was a space in the form that said, "Mode of Action:" To which he looked up at me with a straight face and said, "So, we shoot the majlis perbandaran guy?"

It's nice to have someone with a sense of humour around. Let's see who gets the last laugh when he comes around for a sniff.
