Countdown : 2 days

Happy (Early) teachers' day! :D

It's kinda my first time to be a teacher(piano teacher), so it's really very nice to see when there's students coming and learning. And, what's best is that they've enjoyed the lesson and learnt something. :D

I think i'll get something for my piano teacher, for tolerating my terribly playing for so long. Haha.:D

Ok, so, it's gonna be CCTA paper on Thursday. I feel like I'm in a war. x.x I feel so "o-levels". But, it's really make it or break it. And i got a choice here, and i want to make it:D

Alright(: I hope Kim's studying instead of watching shows. :D All the best peeps(:

Countdown : 3 days

So, today was raining rather heavily in the morning. Which was great, because i was enjoying the coolness while studying. I like the sound of the rain, it makes the atmosphere not-so-quiet. :D

Oh well, am trying very very hard to focus on my immunology, but keep getting distracted. All the T cells, B cells, Th1 cells, Th2 cells, Tc cells and whatever cells don't sound so confusing, but actually, are they are very very confusing. ):

But now the rain has stopped, and i can only listen to the whirling fan.

Frankenstein,

While i was doing my immuno papers, i can't help but feel VERY VERY PISSED OFF with how the notes are arranged. Everything was all over the place. T cells here, B cells there, the functions here, suddenly the mechanism somewhere else. What's worst, the notes are the thickest ever. ): so i was really angry, and decided to arrange my own notes. so that's extra work. ): but should be able to finish them by tomorrow 12 :D

): Stress stress.

Rule for myself : No studying after 11. I mean that. :D cause i really dont feel like reading my notes and forcing my eyes open when its time to take a break. It's really easy to say that i want a break, than saying i want to study. ):

Today's sermon was really meaningful. Just ask yourself 4 question (which you might have already asked yourself anyway) : Who am i? How did i come? Why am i here? Where will i go?

--

And, i can proudly say, I don't want other people to identify me because of what i do. I don't want to do things to find meaning in them. I know the meaning, that's why i do it. I am jiajia, and that is who i am. :D

Knock knock, who's there?

Alright,

I feel that I won't make it for finals. ): Brain brain, will you just work for once? and stop breaking down when i need you to work. x.x

I feel so weak. I keep having headache now and then. And then I'll stop studying and waste time. ):

I don't like to feel so weak.

Finals are very near, and i can even imagine myself in the room, flipping through the papers, writing ridiculous answers down. Have anyone felt like that before? Or am I the only unprepared one?

Hais. Sometimes, i just wish that I'm blessed with a genius brain. Then I don't have to worry about not remembering things. But, having a genius brain, means greater responsibility, means people expects more. ): I think if i have a genius brain, i would be smart enough to keep low profile and just do what is required. (Then life = no challenge? ) Gosh, life is so contradicting sometimes. Requires people to work their best, and expects hell lot from people. If i can do 100%, they'll expect 200%. But some people like it. Cause it gives them the purpose to live.

Ignore what i just said. I'm having headache remember? x.x

Ok, hope that tomorrow I'll have more time to do my papers. At least i get to play badminton in the evening. One happy thing a day, keeps the headache away:D

Friday Midnight Music - September

Ok, September is not here yet, but it's coming:D so here's a song by Daughtry, actually a very meaningful song. and i like the guitar(: As much as dance is a universal language that can make people move, music is another one of the greatest universal language around that can affect someone's life. And i believe that meaningful music can change people. (: Enjoy! :D

September - Daughtry

Good night(:

It's over

Ok,

I really don't know if i made it or break it. He's really very nice to give me simple scales and simple sight reading( ONE FLAT ONLY! + the song is called twilight. haha ) but i think i screwed it up. Saying that he's nice makes me feel even worst because i didn't really play that well today. ): Aw mannnnn.

Ok, something to be happy about. I FINISHED ALL THE DBG PAPERS! :D (ok la, not much also, 6 only x.x) But its a good achievement and self control:D the next challenge is immuno, which has like 11 papers(seriously?!! yes). ): I'm like putting mmb on the shelf first.

Ok, so one major exam's down, and I'm glad it's over. :D lets see, 5 more to go. ):

This is real bad, first paper's on the 2nd and it's already going to be 28. That just leaves me with max 5 days? (My maths fail worst than my bio x.x + I'm really scared to count how many days I'm left with)

Paranoid, paranoid. Tell me I'm tooooo paranoid. ): (or am i not? ):)

I'm going crazaieeeeeeeeeeeee.

Heartbeats

I think I'm really slow with my revisions. ): But I'll buck up! So that I can get my fair share of play too:D

Ok, so tomorrow is THE day. I will try my best. But if I didn't make it, I'll move on. :D

): Still, I'm stressed. I'm not so much of a perfectionist because I don't want to try so hard to be one when I know I'm born to be imperfect. But, but.. but... who doesn't want to do well even though they know that they cant? ):

): ): ):

I really don't know what to type except for this -> ): 

Pretty Wednesday

So,

Piano exam's coming in 2 days time. ): Stressed!

Thought that the clouds outside my windows look really pretty(:

I wish life was this beautiful. Maybe it is, but we just fail to see the good side sometimes. ):

I'm still left with a tonsssss of work to do. I think going outside to study is so much more conducive then studying at home. actually, i think my laptop is the culprit ): I can't stop browsing with my laptop, then i spent a lot of time searching for unrelated and unhelpful stuff on the net, and end up wasting a lot of time. ):

FOCUS!

It's just a few days more, imagine the freedom (:

My ulcer and split lips makes me wanna smile and talk less. Really don't feel like opening my mouth at all. LOL. It's really very painful! ):

Dear God, I would like to pray for wisdom and strength, Amen.

Hello.

So, I have no idea why but my throat is very itchy and I'm coughing like crazy right now x.x

Today's gotta be the most productive day ever (Even though i slacked half of it away x.x)

That's cause i ALMOST finish all the CCTA papers:D (so proud of myself:D) lols.

But ok la, i still have a few more to go, but glad that i can do them faster now because i don't really have to refer to the notes already:D

What's worrying me more is my piano exam which is coming up real quick ): It's really very stress. I somehow have this glitch in my head that when I'm playing the song perfectly, I'll be thinking "Alright, no mistakes till now, cannot make mistakes!" and the next thing i know, "DONG" wrong note ):

I need to fix this glitch like asap. ):

Ok, time for dinner. :D short post:D

Btw, my weekend was horrible ):

Friday Midnight Music - Remedy (I won't worry)

What music do you think of when i say Jason Mraz? For me, it's one of his older songs - Remedy (I won't worry). Haha, though the lyrics doesn't really fit my mood now(cause i'm in the ultimate stress mode), but the song title reminds me not to worry (Ok, i know not much link x.x). Haha. But still, this is a nice song:D enjoy (:

Jason Mraz - Remedy (I won't worry)

Good night! (:

):

Gosh,

I'm quite sure is the stress that is giving me the pimple on my cheek ):

So many things going on, I feel so cramped. :X and I'm not managing my time well, I think I'm really wasting my time away.

Wake up Jiajia!

Stress is really poison. It's making me sick so easily, making me so prone to everything.

Can't wait for all these crap to be over and move on with life.

Yawn, I'm so tired now. ):

No good results = Stress = Death. x.x

Sonic Hedgehog

So, i was studying DBG this morning and came about the SHH gene (Sonic hedgehog gene). In our minds, sonic hedgehog looks like this :

But in DBG, the sonic hedgehog looks like this:

Haha, see the similarity? :D

So, i got interested in why it is called the sonic hedgehog gene when the SHH is a hedgehog signaling pathway. Point mutation on the SHH gene, one can get holoprosencephaly. which is this :

http://www.prayfornathan.org/images/IMG_1347%202.jpg

Nah, this little boy here is a very fortunate survivor of this disease. And I'm really glad that he doesn't have facial defects from this disease. Because the facial defects can be really bad. ( Don't try to google search image for this disease, you won't want to see what you find. really). But anyway, here's one of the more lookable image of this disease to see its severity :

http://download.imaging.consult.com/ic/images/S1933033207751595/gr2-midi.jpg

But anyway, i was interested why is this gene called the Sonic Hedgehog gene, and here's what i've found:

Sonic hedgehog is, in fact, named after the character from the popular Sega Genesis video game. The original hedgehog gene was found in Drosophila and was named for the appearance of the mutant phenotype which causes an embryo to be covered with pointy denticles resembling a hedgehog. The first two homologues of hedgehog were named after species of hedgehog and the third was named after the video game character (Gilbert, 2000).

http://www.bio.davidson.edu/Courses/Molbio/MolStudents/spring2003/Watson/Sonichedgehog.htm

So, the first 2 hedgehog was actually named as desert hedgehog (dhh), and indian hedgehog (ihh). Then the guy, decided to name the third one after the video game - Sonic Hedgehog (shh).

Now this solved the question I always ask myself in class, why Sonic Hedgehog?

Alright, enough about this gene. just wanted to share. I'm sure my classmates will appreciate:D

Anyway,

I was typing my CCTA notes yesterday, and was terribly annoyed with microsoft words. The system doesn't recognize scientific words. Even ligands were underlined red. 

And my notes looked like this :

So, i was really sad. ): When I'm typing super long words, I don't know if i have a missing letter or additional letter or it is spelled correctly, because either ways, it will be underlined red.

Alright, back to my DBG notes:D (I'm so glad I'm studying DBG and not CCTA).

A break from CCTA

GOSH.

I've been typing notes since idk when. Taking a half an hour break from CCTA. It's driving me crazaieeeeeeeeeee.

10 more days to piano exam and i barely could play anything. I think I'm so dead. x.x

I wish i got more than 24 hours now, and i wish that i won't be so tired easily. ):

Cough cough, been sick ever since last week.

Gonna be back to my notes in 6 mins time. ): I'll be so sad. ):

Alrighty, my mind is full of CCTA so I don't really know what to type here. ): Probably update again when my mind is more "blank" :D

CMJ's

Oh gosh, I think I'm really slacking on blogging ):

Went to celebrate CMJ's belated birthday a few days ago.

PICTURES:D

Marsh mellow hot chocolate:D

CMJ! :D

Mushroom:D

Destroyed carrotcake

EUNICE & CMJ! :D

Uninvited guest:X

18th(:

Was at this place (Ten Thousand Angels) and I don't deny that the ambiance is awesome(: Really liked how laid back everything was. Everytime i walk pass this shop at plaza sing, i would really want to go in and see how it's like. This time, i really get to sit in and dine:D


Just completed my 1000 word essay not long ago. I exceeded it a little. There was around 2000+++ words. ): Now I'm not sure if I did it right :X

Piano exam coming real quick, followed by Finals. Can't wait for them to end. :D

I wonder what I'll do in the holidays. Hmmmm.

Happy belated National day!

Gosh! I didn't blog on monday because of maple! haha. Yes, i'm back in maple:D Playing an Evan now. The dragon is so cute:D

Ok, Now i'm at loft, typing a very short blog before i go for my cca. :D

Nothing much to do a loft, other than STUDY!

Yes, gonna study later after cca. Exams are coming really soon and i can't afford to screw this one up. ): It's the toughest sem, but i'll be able to do it:D

Alright, time to go for cca! short post(:

Floating gloomy cloud

Hello once again.

Actually there's nothing much for me to type for today. Went to church, go home and so on. :D Well, tmr's a public holiday! :D And there'll be a family outing. Isn't that awesome? (: It's been some time since my family and I went out the whole day. Idk if it's their workload increase, they're getting old, or we're getting boring. They just don't bring us out as often as they used to. But finally! :D

Another year has passed since my cousin's wedding. Today's their 2nd year anniversary. I still remembered I was down with dengue after today that day. ): Want to go out so badly that day because it's a public holiday, but i halfway through midnight, i fell sick. Didn't want to believe it that it's fever at first, thought that it'll go away, but it just became worst. ): So yea, didn't get to go out on national day 2 years ago. Haha. Just some random bits and pieces of my memory. (:

My brother downloading Maplestory, and it's so tempting that I took the Maplestory file and put it inside my HDD, now it's in my com. Haha. Probably will start a new character, though i really miss "blurainbow" very much. I trained with her for like 2 years close to 3? Btw, she is my character. :D blurainbow = me. (: Yea, missed how i can move her around easily and use her skills just by a move of a finger. Now, im limited with the small laptop keyboard i have. ): It used to be insert, delete and such above the up down left right arrow keys. Now it's just shift and enter which is of no use to me. ):

I can't even play 8key beatup in audition. ):

Oh well, most probably will buy a portable keyboard where i can use the 8keypad:D

It feels weird to be NOT studying. Used to studying so much for the past few weeks. ): But its great that I don't have to worry about any tests (at least for now).

Alright. Off to practice piano. :D

Bright Sunny Day

Hello.

So, I stayed home the whole of Saturday because i fell sick. ): Not so fun, spent half the day sleeping. ):

Lucky thing is that it's after all the tests. (: And I've given myself the unofficial weekend break, which apparently includes Monday as well because it's National day. :D

But mugging will have to start on Tuesday night(Because Tuesday morning is crazy for me) and extends all the way till Thursday night (Because the whole of Friday is crazy for me). And then the whole of next next week and so on till my finals come.

Then I'm off! :D

Mix feelings about OAC. I want to make it fun, but enjoyable also. I really don't like being uncomfortable at a foreign land. Lucky I'm a girl. If not army confirm will kill me. I don't mind the tents and all. Camping is alright. But being dirty and what nots and if there isn't a good toilet system, i will definitely be very unhappy. Call me pampered, I really just want to have a memorable(in a good way) first overseas camp. I don't find the need of getting myself into a whole lot of junk to learn things. What matters is if I'm happy or not(and probably if the others are too. If they love being dirty and muddy, then that's them.) I know the committee wants to make this a good camp. So yea, if it's gonna be dirty, I guess I'll just have to keep my unhappiness within me(typing it on a blog isn't really "within me" but oh well). It's not their fault anyway, it's the nature of the camp.

Since we're on the topic of dirty. You know what? I hate it most when someone irritates me further when I'm dirty, I can't stand it, really. Take it or leave it, that's just me. Everyone have their faults, and this is one of mine. I can't be happy when I'm not in my most comfortable state.

It's been quite sometime since I last got annoyed. Which is good isn't it? (:

Piano exam is nearing, that's real bad.

Friday Midnight Music - Here in your arms

So! Its FMM(Friday Midnight Music) again, and today, it'll be Here in your arms by hellogoodbye. I'm really impress with their music. Despite the fact that I'm not really into techno-like song, their song actually grasp my attention(They only have a small little bit part of techno-Doesn't really bothers me:D). I enjoy listening to this song, and would like to share it with you too(:

Here in your arms- Hellogoodbye

Their vid is kind of strange, but i do like how retro it is:D

Enjoy and goodnight(:

Have a kitkat!

Yes! Finally, the MMB test is over. I don't feel like talking about it here, but it's not too bad(:

And I'm free for the weekends(: Only for the weekends. After this weekend, my schedule is in a mess again. ):

Thank God Monday is a holiday. Tuesday I won't be at home till Friday. Tuesday and Friday will be my most busy days because I'll have to rush around. ):

But it'll be all worth it I guess:D

Really hope that this 3 weeks of study break will be fruitful :D

Ok. Being able to shop online without stressing out that I haven't finish my work is really great. (:

The series of Mystery cases

Today's is my last presentation for the sem! I'm suppose to design a ideal program for my target audience(45-59 years old adults). So here's the cover page of my slide.

Somewhere part of my slide(I like the picture:D)

I actually like the pictures i used for my slides. I think they are all very suitable for my topic. (:

Tmr is my last test for the sem, and then 3 weeks break, and I'll be all ready for my finals(Hopefully). Haha:D

Ok, Time to go eat dinner and mug(:

Come on!

And so, I didn't do my CCTA test. Because I don't think I'll do my best. So not much of a point. I took the paper home to revise though. :D

So, tmr's presentation for TVE and then no more presentations:D TVE is not much of a problem. The module is generally enjoyable. (: Then, MMB test on Friday and I'M OFF. LIKE FINALLY. :D

Been really tired lately. Fell asleep without trying to wake myself up during DBG today. Woke up for 5 mins and I'm down with pretty bad headache. ): I think stress and lack of sleep is screwing my body(and brain) up. Having aches, headaches, acne problems lately. I just wish that i can get at least 7hours of sleep everyday and be more spaced out. (:

So, I'm sleeping early tonight! :D Maybe around 11.30. And tmr i get to wake up late, so it's pretty great:D

Poly life has been rather stressed and really have thought me how to discipline myself to study for the upcoming test(s). If I'm still in secondary school, and I had this attitude, I think I would deserve more than what i have today. But too bad, the secondary school days are gone. I can only concentrate on my poly now and hope to do better with my grades. It's really competitive and hard to make a mark and do well for the papers(Even though they seem rather easy). Oh well, I just have to work harder. I believe that my brain can do much better, just that the owner is not much of a help to it. Haha.

Ok, time to mug:D byeeeeeeeeee(:

Tuesdays are sunny days

Hello.

There's no school today, fortunately. But I'm really bored at home, studying my MMB and CCTA. ): The tests are coming really quickly and somewhat, I think it's a great thing. :D

I've got so much things that I want to do during my break! I'm really afraid that i don't have time for a "full" part-time job(exp, those that you have to stay in the shop whole day for at least 5 days a week). So I'm deciding between a "part-time" part time job(exp, those that call you when they need you) or a "full" part-time job. ): Currently deciding if I should be a music teacher at Seimpi or go work at Island creamery. I think being a music teacher is better because its really very part-time and i get to learn some stuff myself also. But I think there's training to go through and I'm not sure how long will that take. Either ways, it's beneficial, it's just whether I'm up to it or not. ): Island creamery is just my interest. I like to eat their icecream. HAHA. So i get free ice cream everyday. :D 


Ok, job talk really got me excited for the holidays. :D But for now, i should focus on my studies. :D Till next time(:

I need a little bit more perserverance

One more test is downnnnnn:D Now I'm left with 2 more and my school will end. Finally! But that would also mean that my piano exam is coming really fast. ): I need some retail therapy. ):

So, I really need to get rid of the habit of discussing questions after papers. I hate that, actually. Because it just makes me feel dumber.

Tuesday is a happy day. Because I got no school! (: I can stay at home and mug all day. Gotta study CCTA and MMB. And I've set half day for each. :D

Being too optimistic for exams is not a good thing. Lol. Being too optimistic for mugging is even worst. ):

Busy busy week.

Anyway, I think i should talk about my new Tom's :D
My schoolmates would have seen me in my new Red Tom's. And gosh, they are REALLY REALLY very comfortable. Like the best ever I've ever worn. Firstly, they don't give me blister, which i believe is a very important point. Many new shoes gave me bad blisters which i hate because it hurts (Duh). And having a blister is uncomfortable and leaves unsightly scars at the back of the ankle. So, this is definitely a PLUS point. Secondly, they don't stink, which is also very important. I'm sure many of us buy ankle socks or flat's socks to prevent this problem. But this pair of shoe doesn't need any of these:D which is very awesome. Thirdly, they match with EVERYTHING! From jeans to shorts to dress(wedding dress, I'm not kidding, there are people who wears Tom's to their wedding in their wedding gown and ask their bridemaids to wear Tom's also), they look just as great. :D However, one problem, I'm scared of dirtying it ): Haha. I know they can be washed, but when they're washing, what will i wear?! ): (Heng i still got my havaianas and clarks to survive on). So yea, here's my very short (and satisfied) review for my pair of Tom's. And i urge people to buy them! :D Because, they also have a campaign called One-for-One, where they will give one pair of Tom's to kids who need them when you buy one pair from them(: Isn't that great to know that someone out there is wearing a pair of free shoes that you've given them? (: I think it's really heartwarming to know that. :D

If you're wondering, here's their website -> www.toms.com (how easy is that:D)

And here's my red Tom's:D(Sounds like the magical red dancing shoes that will never stop dancing, but it's not. haha)

My red Tom's :D

So yea, Here's a slightly longer post. Have a great week ahead:D

Jitters

It's Sunday! Which means school's gonna start tomorrow. But i guess that's a good thing? Cause i would get to clear my prac test and all:D Will have to take it in the end, why not take it sooner? (Cause no time to study what! <- i'm sure you're thinking of that). Haha.

School's gonna be rather slackish tomorrow, but that just leaves me more time to do work, which is a good thing. More time to study for MMB test on friday, which is a killer. Looking at all the different pathway different bacteria take to infect us already gives me a headache. ): I don't know if i should be proud of my immune system for being just as smart to fight the bacteria off, or be scared of the bacteria cause they are also very smart. The more I learn about bacteria/virus/what-nots, the more i feel that my body is just a battle zone for these microbes. Which is rather amazing cause I'm still alive and kicking. Well, it's a very confusing mixed feeling. Haha. Didn't know that studying about all these "un-see-able" living organisms can make me feel this way. Well, i guess it's just me.

Been having the pre-piano exam syndrome. I am practicing the piano like whenever i got time. It's pretty freaky and i think my neighbours think that I'm crazy. I mean, who plays the same song for over 20times a day and makes mistakes at the same old place? Haha. I think they must be humming the song halfway, then know that I'll stumble there. Interesting to know. :D

Was thinking about how human brain works. Able to understand alphabets that didn't make sense(As in, they are just strokes which humans come up with) is already very amazing. I really wonder how brain works. Like, this compartment for understanding language. Haha. I think I must be really bored.

Anyway, think I'm going to get baptize soon. And i should get a christian name right? Haha.

Alright, no pictures for a long time (and probably for the subsequent posts also) cause I want a new camera! (Either that or a iPhone 4. :D) Haha. I'm a tech noob, but i like to have a good quality camera to take pretty pictures. Is the pictures that count, not the tiny stuff that is in the camera!(if this makes sense at all).

Oh, and my dad just got himself an iPad and reserved a iPhone 4 for himself. ): how selfish is that. x.x Haha.

Long post for a long sunday. Till next time! (:
