Playing some random songs to get me through this afternoon. Presentation later at 5.30 and I'm not sure if I'm ready. It's kinda scary, because I'm presenting on something with no notes, no research, no knowledge. I'm still wondering how to analyze the results. Quite lost. Hopefully later the presentation would be ok. Hope I would get my keywords right.

Don't feel like being too proactive. ): Feel like lazing around this afternoon. Heng no more experiments to do in the afternoon.

Hais.

It's when you've typed a whole lot of things and just press the backspace key.

When you sit next to me,

It's been quite sometime since I last went out for a movie, or a decent outing. Been tied down by attachment and piano lessons ): It's quite sad sometimes, but I guess thats the life of a science/music student.

Internship is alright I guess, liking how I'm learning new things and the workload is easy. Spend around 5-6 hours surfing the net, browsing useless things. The rest of the time is spent in the lab learning new equipments and stuff. It's been a week at internship and getting used to it.

FYP and then I'm no longer in POLY! :D yay! I should really start planning about my future. I'm certainly going to uni, just dk where only. ):

HAIS.

Anyway, FOLLOW MY TUMBLR, :D been updating it VERY FREQUENTLY. I think tumblr is a very convenient way to portray what kind of person are you. Someone who likes cars, music, science, fashion etc.. And mostly using pictures. Haha. (:

Alrighty, There's really nothing much to update on my blog. I'm really living a boring life. ):

Because birds can fly,

Internship is really bored, so I shall blog a little bit.

I'm really afraid of closing my eyes during an exam, or during something (not for sleeping, duh). I just feel that I'm unprotected. Like I have no idea what is going on and anything can go on when my eyes are closed (example. world war II). But I like to close my eyes when I'm sleeping. Because I can dream of anything I want to dream about. (: It's like reading a storybook which came to live.

My internship is boring as ever. I reached at 8.45am, and from then till now (which is 1.47pm), I've got nothing to do. Nothing at all. Idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I should try to be more proactive right? It's my GPA at stake anyway. And I also dont feel good(and reproductive) staring at google, and not knowing what to type in that miserable 1.2cm x 11.4cm box (no, I didn't measure it).

Maybe I should end this post with an apology for not blogging often enough. I've been in shock ever since Molbio paper.

Happy birthday to me,

I should blog today so that I don't have to wait another year to blog on the same day. haha.

It's my BIRTHDAY today! :D

Nothing special compared to the past years ): Spent it with my notes this time. Oh well. There's no birthday song, no cake. Not that I fancy any of those, just that it's a little weird to be having a birthday without a cake. But the wishes on FB made me feel that today is special (: never seen my profile so active before. Haha. I was thinking, got 100 wishes very happy le. Woa. More than 100:D hahahaha.

Grateful and thankful (:

Tmr is my last paper. And I can finally be a little less tensed. I would have to concentrate on my piano after that, using those after working hours (evening-night) to catch up with my progress. Really lacking a lot behind. I want to get my grade 8 and then move on to diploma ASAP. It's not gonna be easy, but I'll do it anyway.

I'm least prepared for tomorrow's paper. Regret so much for not studying enough today. Down with a little migraine halfway and that totally killed me. x.x At least I managed to write down the what happens in the central dogma and finish reading the notes once through again. I will continue to mug tmr morning-2.30. I'm sure I can finish by then:D

Mixed feelings about going to a University. If I don't have to get a degree, I probably wouldn't. But I somehow know I will have to go to a University somehow, so I'll just stick to it. Gosh. Thinking about doing diploma for piano and degree for biological sciences gives me the shivers. How am I going to cope?

The worries of a 19 year old. This kinda stuff kicks in so quickly.

Wrecking my puny brain,

Oh my... MBC in 2 days.

Just finished my 2nd round of drawing metabolisms. Still not confident. Slightly confident, but gosh. Probably will fail if I go in like that. Tmr shall buck up.

Interesting to know that at this point of time, I may be only 20% ready for exam, but tmr, at this hour, I would be 80% ready. That's just how much 24 hours can do. Not really 24 hours, at least not for me. Probably only around 6 hours. And interesting to think that I am unable to absorb anymore info at this time, but tmr, it'll be in my head no matter what. This is what stress can do to people. I truely believe that we're only utilizing <10% of our brain. Not that I believe that utilizing 100% would give me any super powers or mind reading techniques. Just that, when I try to use my left hand to write, I feel more tired and the information is harder to get in. This proves that my right brain is not as developed as my left, so when my left hand writes, my right brain needs more time/energy to comprehend and process. But if it's able to comprehend/process, I would be using probably 15% of my brain. :D which means, I can remember more things. Just a simple theory from a 15 minutes test. No wonder people say music makes people smarter(though I don't 100% agree with that, probably just able to grasps concepts faster because concepts(at first) are usually not logical since the right brain is more of the not logical part) cause we need to use both hands and probably both legs to do different things at the same time. To play hands together is tough. To press the pedal at the right time when playing is another challenge. To sing and play is crazy. A long rant on some unproved theory.

MBC is really a challenge. I would say, comparable to CCTA/DBG last sem.

I'm doing more notes than last sem. Maybe cause I've got more time to prepare. And I procrastinate lesser now(: But I really can't imagine myself sitting in the dorm room/room trying to mug my heads out of my university lecture notes. I figured that the way I'm studying now is probably the least efficient technique, considering that I take 2 hours to complete one chapter. I should come up with something better.

Hais... Can't wait for exams to be over and start working cause I don't have to mug every night ): I forsee myself washing test tube and preparing solutions most of the time. ): Maybe they'll ask me to grind brains. Who knows?

Oh well. I should get some rest already.

Where's that straw?!

I want to get one of that!

Study plan going on well! :D doesn't feel so tensed up like last sem. Mainly cause I'm following the timetable:D Feels great to strike off all the things I plan to do (:

Next week today I'll be done with INAC. hahahha. Time sure flies. Next Saturday a couple of friends will be flying overseas for 4 months. Woa. 4 months sounds short but it's sure long. Lots of things can happen in 4 months. +, Hy and I would be in a totally different class with other classmates next sem. ): Feeling kinda sad cause our class is ever so friendly and helpful. But well, it's not a bad thing to know new friends right? ( keep fingers crossed ).

And then Internship for me, FYP 4 months later. ): Still thinking what I wanna do after poly. I really think I would apply for all the universities and see which one accepts me. Probably doing biological sciences? Since my chemistry is kinda x.x, and I've never taken physics, and my maths is OMGWTHISTHAT. Then I'll think of what to do next time.

Just checked the prices for cars. Mini cooper - $147k. Volkswagen polo- $80k. 2nd hand Mini cooper - $80k. Second hand Volkswagen polo - $70k. I might as well get a 2nd hand mini. But it would take me soooo longggg. ): Hopefully the COE price drops to $10k. Then I can take at least 20k off these prices. 20k would take me SUPER long to save up k! And I can do so much with 20k. :D

Alright, a light hearted blog post (:

Oh my...

Preparing for finals aint easy ): Really takes A WHOLE LOT of discipline. But I've been on schedule for these few days, which is great cause I find that I have more time to do things that I want to do and don't feel guilty about it (:

Great that tmr is a FREE day (: I get to do stuff that I want:D it's gonna be a long long day though. ): But it's alright (:

February seems to be ending already. So fast! The weeks just flew by... I was counting down till the end of school, so I guess time flew faster. Haha.

I don't have a happening life where I go out 4 times a week and take pictures of where I go, what I eat, etc. Maybe that's why I have a boring blog. I guess I need to rename the blog into "Mugger's blog". Maybe my blog would be interesting for muggers who want to know what I've studied. Lol. Ok, that still sound boring ):

Alrighty, enough of boring words. I shall go browse more website to kill time (reward for mugging). (:

The last day,

Last day of school, was pretty alright. Haha. Just can't believe that I've actually worked so hard for these past few months. I was a total slacker in secondary school. Like I would think that I already know what is going on, but I actually don't. I didn't know what I was suppose to "know" back then. Like I'm suppose to understand, apply, blahblahblah. I just tried to memorize when I jolly well know that I suck at memorizing. But now, I don't dare to say that I fully comprehend everything that's going on, at least I know I'm suppose to understand and not memorize.

So, end of year 2! :D Moving on to year 3. How exciting. I mean it.

Which means, I'm a year closer to 2x. In maple, it's a good thing. In real life, it can be good or bad. ): In maple, it just means you're stronger as you go higher. In life, it's a normal curve. You go stronger at first, but then the peak area is just so tiny, that suddenly, you drop back down. I guess I'm kinda dropping down already cause I'm tired all the time. While I can see my peeps study till 2-3am in the morning, or don't sleep at all, I just cant do it. 11pm is my limit. I'll do the non-memory stuff after 11. I think I'm aging really fast inside. ): I look like a 14 year old still ): (Actually not, my face is less chubbier:D)

(Peak area not small enough, and I know my units are way off. But oh well..)

Anyway, life's been..... ok.

Cookies and me,

Half way through the week. One more test for the week and the week will be over. Just a few more things to do for church, and survive through a string of lessons on Saturday, and I'll be ready for next week, I hope.

Bif was a chore, it was sad. Despite the efforts, she doesn't seem to appreciate any of it. ): Disappointing. Now i know why people complain about her. I find her nice at first, but now, it's 50-50. ):

I want to know where I'm posted to for Internship. I rarely get things my way, so I don't think I would get what I chose, but still, I hope I would get what I chose. (duh)

Another big sigh...

Workload piles up. ):

Feeling accomplished! :D
- Practiced piano
- Had a afternoon nap
- Did brief BIF revision
- 70% Done with Molbio prac

I know I can do more today, but I guess I got distracted. Started browsing websites and watching youtube videos. Feeling the nudge to watch naruto, but I ignored it. I would watch them only after exams. (:

I want to bake, want to read, want to watch, want to shop, want to sleep badly. ): just 2 more weeks. And then I'll be left with minimal studying for year 3! :D

Still wondering what I'll do next time after poly. I think I'll just apply a few universities, continue with my piano diploma, and I'll think about the rest next time.

Feeling kinda sad that I don't have something I want to do badly. I really want to buy a car for myself, but I need to work very hard for that. Very very hard. ):

Brief breakdown for the next 2 weeks:
9th Feb - BIF proj presentation
11th Feb - molbio prac test
15th Feb - BIF test (40%!)
28th Feb - MBC finals
2nd Mar - INAC finals
4th Mar - Molbio Finals
7th March onwards - Internship at IDK where. ):

Tmr I'll strike off BIF proj presentation. 2 more days I'll strike off Mol bio prac test and then I'll mug real hard for BIF test. 1 week study break and the 3 finals paper will be up! Feeling so hyped already right? Hahahhaa.

Sometimes I really wish I'm taller, prettier, smarter, richer. Probably if I'm those, I would want more. Humans ah humans. ): (or isit just me?)

Big sigh....

If I had all day,

CNY is over. Not really, but for us, it's over. Back to reality. MBC test was HAIS. Anyway,

There's no school tmr (: But there's BIF presentation on wed. There's no school on Thurs! But there's molbio prac test on Fri. GOSH.

2 more weeks and I would be year 3. Finally.

Realised that if you know how the route is going to be, the run would seem shorter and less tiring. I guess it's the same for life. If you know what to expect, life won't look so bad. But then again, it would be so boring to know what will happen. Life is just so contradicting.

But I would rather know how the route is going to be. Because I hate tiring runs.

Sometimes, I just wish I'm a billionaire. I guess the song is rubbing off me. " I wanna be a billionaire.. So freaking bad..." Possible? Haha. Someday maybe. I would get myself a car. Lol. Such a normal dream with such demanding aspiration.

Oh well, time to get back to earth.

MY MSN CAN FINALLY WORK! :D

Halfway done with BIF. Halfway done with MBC. Feeling so stress. ):

CNY is finally coming to an end. Phew. It's been real busy. Glad that I managed to not eat that much, but it's really tough. ): Hope i dont gain any weight! :D

After CNY is another whole load of work to do. I just hope I can survive that. And then internship. And then FYP. And I'm out of poly! :D

Hais, really no inspiration on what to write. ):

So I shall end here, just a short update;D

The weather seems pretty good today (: Yesterday it rained ALL DAY. I'm serious. ALL DAY. Today there was just a quick shower and now it's bright and cooling:D

CNY is coming in around 2 days time? (: How great:D

The tests are over!!! But the prac tests are coming. I should start preparing, since I got so much time today. LOL.

Still waiting for the asos packages. WHY AREN'T THEY COMING? ):

Just some random stuff here and there. Really quite bored at home. Shall go eat my lunch now. :D

Hello people,

I'm feeling very awful right now due to some reasons :

1. MY MSN IS OFFICIALLY.... DOWN. I'm so so so sad. I feel so lost when I'm not online, not that I talk a lot online, but it's just so convenient to communicate whenever I have something to ask or something I need to know. Now, it's as though I have no connections with the outside world, especially when I need to ask my peeps about their choices for internship and what I should choose for mine. Good thing I have till 1st Feb. If not I'll just random pick already. ):

2. INAC TEST IS COMING UP AND I'M BARELY DONE WITH THE REVISIONS. I have finished the notes, yes. But... Do I think it's enough? No. Gosh. INAC is such a chore! I wish I have the ultimate brain to understand all the mechanics. Not say it's very tough to understand, but it's just so hard to get them all into my head. ):

3. CNY COMING - which is good. TESTS AFTER CNY - which is not good, at all. Tests just kept flooding after CNY. I'm NOT EVEN 1% PREPARED FOR BIF. Die. Die. Die. Die. And finals are just 1month away. GGGGGGGG. ):

4. STILL WORRIED ABOUT INAC - nuff' said. ):

Oh my... I'm really really really worried. ):

I'm I normal? or is this some kind of disorder. ):

Hais. It's been raining so frequently nowadays that I wish it's snowing instead. The frogs are so happily croaking away because it's their favourite weather. It's my favourite weather to snuggle into my blanket and on the aircon and sleep the whole night through with lightnings and thunders. Somehow it just makes me feel comfortable. Gosh, I really think I have some kind of disorder. ):

How many ): do I have in this post? Hais...

Pain,

It's almost halfway through the week, and I'm barely surviving.

Teachers kept on reminding us about our upcoming tests and presentations. And I haven't even finish ANY of them. FYE is coming is around 1month's time, and I'm barely prepared. GOSH.

Good thing FYP results came out. BAD thing is IDK where to go for internship. ):

Finished Kreb's cycle and ETC revision. Now still got Gluconeogensis, Glycogenesis and glycogenolysis to revise. And they are the scary topics. x.x I think I'm gonna die.

Oh my, I dont even have the mood to count down to CNY. Cause after CNY is pile loads of test and presentations and BIF 40% test.

Please, don't let me screw up my 40% test.

Tmr is another devastating and seemingly cruel long day. Full 5 hours of INAC can destroy my brain. It's not that I haven't been having 5 hours of INAC every wednesday, it's just that, the ending weeks of sem 2 is just too heavy.

Stress stress x.x

I think my hormonal level is causing me to think too much. I have to take it easy. x.x

I'll need another straw,

I know I shouldn't be blogging, Cause the amount of things I have to do suddenly DOUBLED, or maybe TRIPLED. x.x

The method of clearing ethidium bromide by Quillardet and Hofnung is interesting. Lol. Amazing how KMnO4 and HCL + NaOH can actually make ethidium bromide not a mutagen and not a carcinogen. :D Don't know what's the reason behind it, so just found it amazing. ;D

So easily amazed right. Hahahha.

Anyway, It's really gonna be a VERY busy 5 weeks. I just hope I can take a breather somewhere. ):

Hais. Doubt I'll enjoy CNY with all the worries. ):

Andddddd, LSCT havent announce to us our FYP choices yet. OH MYYYYY. So disappointing. ):

I MUST FINISH:
- Studying MBC in 2 days
- BIF/MOBIO PROJ before next week ends
- MBC PROJ by Wednesday
- the rest.... hais. I survive this week then say.

I've always wanted to set up a lemonade stall outside my house and sell lemonade to passerbys since young. I dont know why, but this idea sounds really fun. You know those lemonade stalls with wooden signboards and just simple set up? Haha. I think I watch too much shows.

The wardrobe and the lion,

And so,

My house underwent a few changes. New fridge, new desktop, new massage chair, new wardrobe(for me!:D). I think that's about it but it's new enough for CNY. Not that we change our house appliances every year, but it's something new this year. We probably change them every 5-8 years, so that's considerably long. Anyway, the new wardrobe is HUGE. Ok, it's not that big, but definitely bigger than my old one. And has LOTS of space for new clothes:D hahahah. And I revamped my room layout. Now i'm sleeping directly under the column, which is, a little uncomfortable. Probably going to go Ikea soon to get some more stuff for better organisation. (:

Been real busy nowadays. Glad that INAC is done:D and INAC test is pushed back by a week, so is MBC presentation. Haha. So next week need to chiong again. Gosh. But thinking about graduating from poly soon makes me motivated. Just a little while more and it's not all about books and everything already! :D

Eating lots of junk food lately. ):

Hais. Okok, time for lunch! :D byeeeee(:

What about today?

Ok, I should do a little updating:D

Basically, feeling accomplished today again:D at least I managed to clear my wardrobe, and also ALMOST complete my INAC project AND finished my I&E report :D Haha. Well, it's not much, but at least I didn't slack my day away~

Anyway,

Just a brief summary of what I have till CNY

19th Jan - INAC presentation
24th Jan - INAC test
28th Jan - MBC presentation (tentative)

Hmm, nothing much. Lots of INAC only. ): Hope I won't screw my test 2 up. Scared sia. x.x

Btw, FYP allocation results coming out this week. And it's already half way through the week! x.x Excited excited excited. HAHA.

Okok, I should continue to do my stuff(s) already. BYE!

12 hours of dreams,

After a long day yesterday,

I managed to get a 12hours sleep last night. Haha. Shows how tired I am when I'm only half way through the week. Thank God for this one day break:D

Now I have to finish up my summary and search for more projects related stuff.

Thank God its Friday tomorrow! Finally, the tough week is gone:D Next week, 2 projects will be due and then I'm almost done with the projects!:D

Can't wait for CNY to come. You know why? Cause I realise that I only have to go to school on Monday for CNY! :D Thankfully, its the slack week on CNY week, so tuesday got no lessons, wednesday is a half day and there's no prac, so no school! And Thursday onwards till Sunday is CNY! :D:D:D

Ok, the only worrying thing about CNY is the food. There's too much goodies. ): So, I've decided to carry a bottle of water everywhere I go on CNY, and then whenever I'm tempted, I'll just drink water:D or maybe soyamilk, since soyamilk is my new favourite cause it's so filling:D haha.

And I shall run after CNY to burn off the extra calories. :D

My brothers and I are doing this Christmas Jar thingy. So, we'll just drop all our coins into the snapple bottle we all got, and when Christmas is here, we'll get to buy something that is worth that bottle of coins:D How great is that right! :D haha. Then we don't have to spend extra money to buy Christmas presents because we're all ready with tons of coins to spend. :D

My bottle is already 1/10 filled. I think I would need 4 bottles throughout this year. :D

OK. Off to do my projects! I think HY and Harrison is so worried bout our project. x.x Especially HY. Since we're in the same group for 3 projs. And I'm so carefree. x.x Haha. Sorry HY! I'll get the job done:D lol.

It's been raining for the whole of today, except for now, when we're going to sleep. ): That sucks. Because sleeping with heavy rain + aircon at lowest temperature, hiding under my blanket is my favourite thing to do. But no, God decided that I should just be contented with my aircon and blanket.

Been informed rather last minute that I have to finish an assignment. The assignment is rather easy, so oh well. But I couldn't do all the questions. So I shall ask my friends tomorrow. ;D

I'm all prepared for the crazy day tomorrow, or I think I am. Bought my bread, gonna sleep early tonight, and prepare my notes for tomorrow. Though I'm rather worried that I won't be able to survive through BIF. "It's just 2 hours out of 24 hours, I'm sure you can do it!", I said to myself. ):

Ok, off to do my stuff. Nights happy little earthlings.

Anyway,

More or less settled my CNY clothes. FAST RIGHT! Yea, I know. Haha. Cause I'm sure I won't have time for the next few weeks. So might as well settle it soon so that I don't have to worry. :D But now I'm broke.

Next week of school will be terrible. I'm quite sure I'll be super tired. If i ever not blog again, please don't mind me. This blog isn't much of a read anyway.

Alrighty, another prac ws to be done by tonight. Actually I'm still debating whether to do it now or tmr. Haha.

OKOK. BYE.

Had a productive 3 hr after school with HY doing our 2 projects. I think we've made a good progress (: Now just have to settle the summary and figure out what the heck INAC is talking about.

Must study hard must study hard must study hard must study hard.

Oh well, nothing interesting nowadays except for school which takes up 90% of my time. ):

Days after new year is super busy. I finally can take a break today because there's no school. Time to finish up my unfinished assignments and projects.

Been really tempted to get myself a camera. But, I don't take pictures that much. I find it a hassle to transfer the pictures around. I don't even want to take the camera out and take pictures of people or myself. ): Hais.

The next event is Chinese New Year. :D I like CNY. Everything is good, other than making myself fat. And the good thing is that this year's CNY doesnt clash with study breaks or any tests. So at least, I think I don't have to bring my notes around and just enjoy the company:D

Tired day today. Lethargic. ):

This first week of school is very slack. In fact, I only need to go back to school on 2 days for lessons. (:

Ok, I really don't know what to blog. Shall end here. (: BYE!

My 100th post for year 2011 (:

The day started our pretty well. Good weather, healthy mood, accompanied by a warm cup of milo. Went for a short jog with my dad to Anchorvale CC for Mcdonald's breakfast. But turns out that my brothers reached Yiochukang earlier than expected and we had to go fetch them. So there goes my Mcdonald's breakfast. Went home and decided to have cereals for breakfast instead, but only to find ants in them and I actually ate a few of them(I think, though i prefer to think that I didn't because I only saw them at the peripheral of my bowl of cereal). Now I'm feeling rather nasty. Is there any side effects for eating ants? I should google that later.

Accomplished a few things during new year, including cleaning up my desks, washed by brushes and practice piano. Now, I'm left with half a day or more to complete my assignments.

Sad thing is, we don't have that Monday public holiday. If we do have that, I can really take a breather and probably go for a last walk along Orchard before massive homework and projects start to boil down my throat.

Sometimes, it's rather tempting to type a few stuff on the "Labels:" box on the right bottom side of this blogger text area. But if I were to do that for all my blogs, my tags would be hell long, because I won't remember which tags I used and I won't stick to it.

I just googled it. This is interesting. Take a look:D [LINK]

Ok, now I guess I have more antibodies in my body. This probably shows that my headache and blurry eyesight is not coming from the ants. Phew.

Time for lunch. BYE!

I need a little more luck,

Apologies for the lack of updates. I was away for a camp for the past few days. Nothing much to say about the camp, it's like another FOC-the mini version.

Maybe just a little rant.

Sometimes, I find it weird to answer questions when I don't even mean the answers. It's even weirder to hear people repeat the same answers when we know that it isn't how they feel. Of course the answers would vary between people to people, and not all the time they are as bad as they are. It's as though the question is being asked to force an answer that we want. It is just me that I only see the good points? Or is it others who only want to talk about the bad ones. I really don't know. But I just don't like how people ask questions sometimes.

Oh well.

Everyone is writing about their new year resolutions and what happened during 2010. 2010 wasn't an ultimately awesome year for me, but I would say it's not too bad. I had my fun times, and my down times. Poly life seem to make the end of a year not so much the end of the year, cause we're in the middle of semester 2. So now my months are kinda screwed up. I categorize my years in terms of my year in poly. For example, end of year 1 is one year. end of year 2 is another year. Not end of December is one year. So no point saying what happened in 2010. I am really kinda messed up.

But my life is kinda boring anyway. Nothing much happened. Probably the recent events, like getting baptised and getting my driving license. Didn't travel to far away lands, or went to any huge events.

How about new year resolution?

It's already half way pass sem 2, but I guess I'll still work hard for my another sem. Don't buy so much things online. Exercise more. Clear my wardrobe. Clean my room. No more junk food. Drink more water. Read more news. Be more organized. Meet datelines more efficiently.

Is that 10? I'm lazy to count.

365 days seems so long. But it's just 12 times of 30 days, 52 times of 7 days. 52 times of 7 days seems shorter. Maybe because the 7 days seem so fast to pass.

But really, looking forward to 2011. In terms of the financial and relation status globally, my own academic and financial progress, my family and friend's relationships and the upcoming challenges that I'll face in FYP and attachment. Of course, I would really want to go for a trip or 2 in year 2011. Probably to Japan, Taiwan, if possible, the United States.

But I seem so old. 19 is like nowhere. It's one year away from 20, but not there yet. How much would 1 year mean? I don't know how much I've changed from the starting of Jan till now. But I guess many one year(s) matter.

Oh gosh. I'm turning 20 soon. I'm no longer a -teen. I should be glad, ain't I?

1 more day to spend in 2010. Would I miss this year? I guess I would on the first day of 2011.

I should have known,

My Christmas Eve night was shared with a bunch of mosquitos (maybe one, but because I have multiple bites I would like to assume there are many). Not impressive, really.

Disappointed by the fact that my family ain't very "on" about Christmas. No trees, no lights, not even the slightest hint of ham in our dinner. Not to mention, no presents. Alright, not the family, just the older generation. My brother's and I are rather hyped up for Christmas. (: I know I really shouldn't complain on Christmas Eve, but I would really, really, really appreciate at least 1% of effort to putting this a memorable Christmas.

I would love to watch "Home alone" now. It's a good show. At least, it's way better than the shows on Channel 8 right now.

Glad that my afternoon was well spent(:

I know boxing day is on Sunday, but, I've already unwrapped my only present. Haha. Thanks to my most love one for the present. Really appreciate it (:

Gotten myself a pair of Ray-bans. Took me long enough to search for it. Everywhere in Singapore is sold out on their new wayfarer.

I'll take a look back at my previous Christmas Eve.

Ah,

Happy birthday to my hamster. (: Though your companion died, which I'm still rather affected about. But I'm glad you pulled through (: I should give you a little present later (:

Looks like my last Christmas was well spent. I hate that I have a bad memory. ):

I hope your Christmas is not as bad as mine (: Merry Christmas!

Hello,

Firstly, Merry Christmas Eve to all(:

I haven't been updating due to techtalk. I'm glad to say I've more or less done with it (: It's been really tiring doing up the magazine. But it's a good experience.

Anyway..

First things first, I've passed my driving test! (: What's better, I've passed it with 2 points :D God provides more than enough:D Haha. But driving on road is really different. Been driving with my mum around for the past 2 days. Quite scary because I'm still very slow. I like it slow actually. Gives me more time to react. Blame it on my slow reaction.

Then, comes Christmas! Yea, it's christmas, but it's not a time for me to take a break. With 3 projects awaiting me to start, I'm rather tight on my schedule. It's really disheartening to see teachers flooding us with work during this festive season. ):

Alright, I'm really tired. Shall continue to blog some other time (:

Merry Christmas Eve!

All is calm, all is bright.

Christmas is nearing, and here I am, feeling tired and sick.

Over the weekends,
Friday:
I&E for the kids at Radiance kindergarden. It was a fulfilling experience, but also very tiring. The kids can scream and scream and scream like there's no tomorrow. I'm glad they had fun though. We managed to complete our task successfully which was quite surprising. Its amusing to see how the kids can warm up to us so quickly. I wish all of us didn't lose the innocent part of us. I find it hard to talk to people whenever it's the first day of school, because I don't know how they would think of me. I wish I never became like this. Well, when I was young, I was a quiet girl, so no difference. Haha.

Saturday:
Caroling practice in church and at Tricia's house was another toll on me. I haven't touched my flute in around 1year? and probably the last time i played it I could only blow notes that I didn't know what they were. I was exceptionally amazed by how fast I could figure out which fingering was for which note and didn't cause much hassle for Lorelle, who were trying to coach me for flute. The last time I played for church was a disaster because I couldn't remember which fingering I'm suppose to pressed. After that, I don't expect much out of myself. But this time was really different. Really very shocked, and happy. That aside, fingering is one thing, but having the breath to last through it was another. I didn't have the "气" as they call it. My notes were airy and sounded quite bad. I knew that myself, but well, at least the notes are right. So, I was blowing the whole day and that tire me out. Considering that I still can remember the fingering, I might join Yamaha for flute lessons to kickstart my interest in flute again. But not now.

Sunday:
The real thing. Caroling was a hell tiring. Past few years was just singing and I considered that as tiring. Didn't know that blowing flute for the whole day can be 3x more tiring. We went to various places such as People's park complex at Chinatown, 3 different household and back to church after that. People's park complex was kinda scary, because there was a crowd staring at us. I made a lot of mistakes, but who cares, they don't remember me. Haha. I tried my best, that's all it matters. The musicians got better as we move on for different stops, which is good. Practice makes perfect. Of course, we got more tired after each stops. And so, when we reached church, I think I looked like a zombie who was out of breath, purple and bruised. Ok, not the bruised part, but I was quite certain I didn't have any flush on my cheeks or colors on my lips, just like a blank canvas. Reached home, and feel asleep after I finished my usual routine of surfing the web and stuff.

Today:
I was quite brave to book driving lessons back to back in the morning because by the 2nd lesson, I was already tired and my brain sort of stop functioning properly. Glad that I was still able to finish up the circuits and the road. But after that, I got a pretty bad headache. It's not massive pain, but it's very persistent. It's still hurting right now. And I'm tired, again. Driving test is tomorrow and well, I would be lying if I say I'm not nervous. Frankly speaking, I'm pretty demoralized that I failed my first test. I hope tomorrow would be fine. I don't know how the rest of the day would go, but hopefully, it would be good.

So, as I was saying, christmas is nearing and I haven't prepared much for christmas. I don't have the energy to decorate my room, or the house like last year. Very disappointed when my mum refused to buy my brothers and I present, but am very touched when my dad says he'll find time to go buy present for us. I just hope that he'll keep his word. So what if we've grown up? Don't we deserve gifts anymore? That doesn't make sense.

Ok, I'm really feeling sick. Cold feet, headaches and blurry images doesn't help, I should get some rest.

Miraculously,

WOOOHOOO, exams are over:D

Ok la, today's paper. :D

Now, for the things to do done during the hols. Good thing I&E is ending tomorrow:D Techtalk is top on my list, and then trial camp and laser quest. x.x and please let me pass my driving test.

15 more days till end of Dec! And then it's new year and I'll look forward to Chinese new year:D

I hope 2011 would be smooth sailing (though I know it's not going to be). Anyway....

Tomorrow gotta wake up early for I&E. Hopefully I'll manage to get some pictures to show what I'll be doing tomorrow. It sounds exciting(:

Alright, short post. Really dk what to blog about after the exams. (Gosh, my life is that boring x.x)

Nights(:

Hey oh, let it snow oh,

It's such a gloomy day today. The weather is really quite screwed up. Yesterday was SOOOOOO warm. And today is neither here nor there. ): When isit going to snow? ):

Anyway,

Mobio revision not going well. ): Keep getting distracted along the way by my lappy. Youtube, sgflea, shopping websites should totally be banned from my internet. Terrible.

But I WILL certainly finish my notes by tonight. I'm quite sure about that.

Don't have a good feeling nor a bad feeling about Molbio. Maybe it's because I'm hungry, again.

But I really want to do well for Molbio CT. So that Dr Lau and all the lecturers can see that I'm not that bad and maybe have a higher chance of granting HY and I our FYP first choice.

Gonna get ready to go for driving lessons. A time to let me relax my brain and crash all the cars on the street. Nah, just kidding. Lol. So GTA. hahahaha

Alright, gonna grab some food before I leave. And it looks like it's gonna rain. How awesome. Been wanting to practice in the rain. (:

BYE.

Do I look like, I won't care?

A big sigh to start off this post.

I can't believe I am such a dumbass. It's not a question I've never seen before. ): There goes 8 marks. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Seriously felt like slapping myself when I saw that question. First slap:(to test if I'm dreaming) SURE A NOT?! I DID THIS QUESTION LIKE 2X!. Second slap: GOSH, I CANT GET THE SAME ANS(cause the concentration was different and I didnt know). Third slap: WALIAOOOO. IS "SPECIFIC EXTINCTION COEFFICIENT(E)". Very nice OLH. very nice.

Ok, forget it. It's over. That's what everyone would say.

Btw, in cause if you don't understand, Specific extinction coefficient is E1%. Not E. E is molar extinction coefficient. Just saying. Blame it on myself for being an indecisive freak who can't decide to use E1% or E.

Hais, oh well. I guess there'll be always a module which is not so favourable. Last sem there was 2. This sem there's only 1. I should be grateful.

Now, I shall emo in my room. Though it won't change anything, but at least it makes me feel better than trying to mug my heart and soul out and then turns out that I can't do any question.

Not that NOT mugging will help me do any question. But better than mugging and can't do any question.

But of course I'll mug. Just not now.

On the brighter side, there's only one paper left. And then I'll be flooded with techtalk, laserquest, trial camp and what nots. Hohoho, GG to me.

Hais, really can only say GG to me.

Kay, nuff' of rantin'.

I was looking at the birds flying around today and wondering if they are siblings or friends. How odd.

Oh, just nice. 7 days later and it's my driving test. If I pass, I will really go buy a rayban wayfarer :D

Big, black wings,

2010-12-12T18:47:00.001+08:00

Ok,

I shouldn't be blogging now, but I figured that I haven't been updating so I should post something up.

Here's a picture of a cat,

Nah, just kidding.

This is how i feel now. Walking on some endless road.

Been rather stressed out cause of CTs. Yea yea, I know, it's the CTs. But CT alone is some 10%-20%. If I do badly for this, I will feel so demoralized. ): Some people don't really find the need to mug as though it's the finals, but I kinda learnt my lesson that I have to do well for CT to do well for the sem. I could have breezed through for the past 3 semester, but not for this sem.

GOSH, and I shouldn't be typing a blog post at this crucial moment. But I just want to take a little break from my usual mugging.

Random thought: Seeing all my friends who are in JC taking prom pics makes me feel like having prom. Too bad, I never had a prom. I wonder how I'll look in prom. Shorter under those long flowy dresses? Maybe.

Can't wait to fast forward to end of this week. At least A HUGE LOAD off my mind. Though another is coming right up after CTs, which is my long awaited driving test. I just want to pass it so badly! x.x

I know that my grammer/vocab/language sucks to the max. Please don't blame me. That's why I put nice pictures to compensate(hope it works x.x).

I want to start reading books again, but I don't have the time to. Reading books is like a commitment. I can't just start and leave it alone.

Ok, a break from words,

Credits to: turnerstokens

As you can tell, I'm famished.

Ok, anyway, can't wait for Christmas to come. Happens every year, nothing special actually. But, I still can't wait for Christmas to come.

BUT, presents are actually getting lesser and lesser by the year. LOL. Ok, I shouldn't be thinking about that.

3 wishes for Christmas as usual. (:

And the last one is 1000000 more wishes! :D

Ok, mum is screaming for me to eat. Great, cause I'm super hungry.

BYE for now, wish me luck for mbc. (:

Feeling so demoralised by the INAC past year papers.

My maths is really darn bad. I can't do a single calculation question and IDK why.

I've been putting in so much effort to not sleep in class so that I can catch every single word the lecturer says and not miss out in any point. It helps, but it doesn't help in maths.

And the worst part? The lecturer don't even want to answer our queries on the past year papers. At least teach me how to do so that I know how to to what.

Gosh. I hope I would be able to do more maths question tmr. They are all asking for the same thing and I just hope that I am able to understand and know how to do. ):

Hais, sad sad post.

HELLO,

It's finally Saturday, but that would mark the end of the slack week also. Moreover, next next week is going to be CT week. ): Come on, I gotta mug my brains out.

Seeing the teachers go through the past year CT papers made CT seem so easy, I mean really? Multiple choices followed by fill in the blanks? Well, CT is worth 10-15% anyway.

But that makes me so complacent. I'm like, it's ok, I still have 2 more weeks to study, so I can read my notes, write the important points, do the papers later. GOSH. I really hate that I'm doing that.

I'm glad I've started on the papers. I don't like to do things halfway. Once I started it, I will finish it. :D That's great isn't it? hahahha.

My uncle was like saying, " You're studying something you're interested in right?" And i reluctantly nodded my head. I know no matter what my answer is, he just want to know that I'm studying something I'm interested in because he's talking about the screwed up Singapore education.

Well, I guess I'm a little interested. It's really interesting to see how meticulous God is when He created all of us. So unexplainable. Sometimes, science may seem so superior, much sophisticated than anything else. But actually, it's so pathetically insignificant. Whether there is science or not, everything has been made, everything has been done. Science discover, science don't create something out of nothing. If you think discovering is awesome, I think creating it and hiding it and letting people discover is even more awesome.

Just a little rant. It's just amazing to hear that my doctor uncle who has aced all his papers saying that studies is incomparable to moral. Which is of course, 100% true.

Ok, enough of this rant. December is passing so quickly. I didn't realize I'm already halfway through 10 days of December. I like to see months in weeks, or 10days. Cause that makes the months go faster.

I just hope I'll have a better Sunday, cause Sundays are always good.

In the middle of September,

I wonder how long will this rain last. Hmmmm..

OH!

I had a adrenaline rush for around 1 min yesterday. Quite random, but anyway, it was rather scary. Idk why I would suddenly had adrenaline rush because nothing exciting was happening. But my heart pumped extra hard and fast, and I could really hear things clearly and more sensitively to the point that when my mum spoke outside my room it gave me a shock. Ok, maybe the description is quite vague. You gotta experience it yourself to know!

Anyway,

No school today! :D how great:D

And it's the end of November. So fast! It's gonna be December, then 25days to christmas! (: Favourite event of the year for most people:D Tomorrow it's December already. It's quite sad that the poly holidays don't coincide with all these. So it doesn't feel very holiday-ish, and that sucks. ): Gotta mug for my CTs during the holiday season. I still remember how I look forward to the year end during the secondary school days because I get to slack all day for 2 months. Wish I can go back to the secondary school days. Everything was just there. Just follow instructions and nothing can go wrong.

But oh well, I guess responsibility comes with age. Though I hate to think that it is that way. Because an adult can also make mistakes. Sometimes I really wonder if the adults really think that they are always right. Come on, be realistic. The younger generation can be right sometimes too. Hate it when parents scream or objects about something for their kids when it doesn't make any sense just because it seems right to them. If you've gone through 20 years more, does that make you more righteous? I doubt so.

Okok, not an angry post. Shall not end November with a bad note.

I'm hungry again. Gosh. Will be searching for food soon. Have a good Tuesday(:

Lab was pretty.. amusing. Everyone was having fun with dry ice. I think mol bio lab should provide more dry ice for us to play:D because the waiting time during mol bio lab is really unbearable. ):

But I guess everyone was just happy because there's no school tomorrow!

It's the raining season now, and I really hope that there's snow in Singapore. Singapore, please drift further away from the equator. (I know there'll be earthquakes if that happens. ): )

Why can Singapore be located here :

Then we'll have polar bears and penguins as our pets:D

Gosh, feeling rather irritated by my mum.

I really hate it when someone compares me with someone else. I mean, we might be doing the same thing, but we are 2 different person after all, why compare?

And, when I want to do something, I'm serious. Don't tell me that it's because I went through something and suddenly I have that "feeling" to do it, so I want to do it. You get what I mean?

For example, after watching step up 3, you "feel" like learning Hip hop cause you're inspired by it. That kind of "feeling" is the "feeling" I'm talking about. I didn't just have that "feel" then I want to do something. GOSH.

So I got really pissed when she said I 心血来潮.

Feel like slamming the door and just scream.

Happy 21st birthday cousin! :D

In 3 years time, It'll be my turn. :D

Some pictures I took with my bro testing out the iphone camera app:D

The pictures turn out ok ba. The old old pictures are from another camera app. I still like the ones that are not the vintage one. That app provides a lot more picture functions:D

Don't normally take pictures, was really bored there because we could only talk to our cousins and me and my other cousins got like a age gap. And the only cousin whom I can talk to is having her birthday. So she don't have the time to talk to me. ): So I had to self entertain.

Her buffet was catered by Neo-garden. And their food was.. quite disappointing. I heard that they are rather good, but turns out that the food was average, or some not even average. Maybe because it's buffet. I shouldn't stereotype, but from the previous caterer I worked for, and all the other buffets I've eaten, they don't really taste that awesome. But I've tasted better than Neo-garden, for sure.

And her massive macaroon cake! Gosh. There's like 100 macaroon on it. This is the first time I've tasted a macaroon. I thought it would be like soft and cake-y texture, but to my surprise, it's not like this at all. It's rather chewy, and biscuity. The first bite was good, but then after one macaroon, the second tasted too sweet. The first one itself was sweet, but the second one killed me.

I don't have pictures of her cake and food because she had a photographer to take her pictures and I'm lazy to swipe out my good ol' Iphone 3megapixel camera to snap. So I'll be waiting for her to upload the pictures on FB and the kope it from there:D

Next event: Wenwen jiejie's home concert. I'm kinda forced to go. But it's ok cause it's a good exposure. I'm just rather tired and need some rest. Good thing is that next week is rather slack. :D

Alrighty, Good night!

Feeling so lonely. Reached home and my parents and brothers are not around. Have to eat dinner alone. ):

TGIF. It's finally the end of an odd week. I'm hoping for a better next week. Common test is just round the corner, and I really just have to sit down and mug through those chapters.

Got so much more things on my list. The thing that worry me the most is the location for laser quest. They can't seem to accommodate to the dates that I have to put laser quest on. Sometimes they reply fast, sometimes they reply like snails. It's quite worrying at the rate I see things go.

I really would like to think that if the world is just the way it is, it would be great, but it's not. If the world is actually filled with Harry Potter, or Twilight, or a little of Star Wars, I think it'll be a lot more interesting. I may belong to one of them:D how fun is it to think that way. But the down part is that, they are all categorized under "Fiction". I guess I only got to live this life once, and I have to live it with a limit under the big blue sky. ):

Forgive my ever lousy photoshop skills. I can't help it. :X

It's gonna be Friday again. So amazing how the week just fly past like this. Common test is coming very soon, and I hope I can get desirable results. (:

After common test, it's driving test. Gosh. I really hope I can get it done and over with. I really don't want to go to cdc again.

The A level peeps are going to graduate from their JC already. So fast! I think suddenly it'll be my 21st birthday already. HAHAHAH. :D I'm choosing between a grand piano or a car. (Nahhhhhhh, I know it won't come true. x.x )

You know, I'm not really a very social person as much as I would like to think that I am. I really hate crowds. I hate stares and I hate squeezing around. But I'm glad that my friends don't mind me being not a very social person. :D

Hohoho, I want my Ray-ban Wayfarer along with my driving license. :D

So,

I was thinking back.

When I was young, I really hated buying food such as noodles, rice etc. from the canteen. I somehow have this fear of dropping the tray or tripping over or spilling the soup all over. And even if I don't drop anything, I would still be afraid of stares looking at my wobbly hands and my unstable tray. But as I grow older, I realised that people don't really remember me for anything like that. They probably take a glance and then forget all about me and my clumsy limbs, because it's not even significant in their lives.

While this may be a big impact in my life because I would need my mum to help me buy cooked food if she comes pick me up and decide to eat canteen food and I can only tell her I want fish ball noodles because that's the only thing I ever knew in primary school, people don't even care if I'm the girl who only take away crackers up to class or buy some milo and that is my meal for the day in school. Maybe that's why I am this tiny and scrawny.

My parents never knew that I didn't know how to order canteen food. I only dare to order maybe like when I'm 13+? Half way through secondary school days?

When I was young, I didn't dare to order at McDonald's or ask for chili sauce at the counter cause I'm afraid they might scold me for being an irritating little kid.

Oversensitive much?

Let me know,

2010-11-22T19:17:00.000+08:00

Alright, starting from this week, it's gonna be a hectic week. ):

Some pictures from the events I've been to last week. (:

First is St. Regis. :D Stayed over there with my family again, and the place is just as awesome as the last time i went there:D But the sad things is that we didn't get to eat at the restaurants there. ):

As usual, we have to call for our favourite hot chocolate:D

The next day, we called for hot chocolate again, with another pot of silver moon tea. That's the best tea I've ever tasted. It has a very fruity aroma. Well, it is actually green tea with ripe fruits, of course it smell fruity. :D And there's no hint of green tea bitterness in there, only filled with the fruity taste, which i like.

Me with the silver moon tea!

Brother testing with lighting effect in the room.

Our icecream at orchard hotel buffet. No pictures of food as the food is hmmm... Not really nice. ): but the icecream is good:D

Mine!:D

Success attempt of a heart:D

Next event, Grandma's 72 birthday at Tung lok restaurant.

Full family photo:D

Fried rice. So-so.

Prawn with tung hoon. Not bad.

Spinach tofu. Not as good as Justacia. Think cause they fried it with century egg. But i like the mushrooms.

Chicken. Not too bad. But the saltiness is not spread evenly.

Some vege. Worst, IMO.

Fried fish. Not exactly as nice as it looks.

I think it's the best out of the rest. Wrapped duck.

The 3 different cakes that we had. I like the pie :D (most right)

Grandma's grandchildren only.

Ok, So that's about it! Mass picture spam x.x haha.

Next week is my cousin's birthday. So many events when the year is ending. ): Oh well. Too bad i'm not in my holidays. ):

Have a good night(:

That little space up in my head,

Idk to say the week that is about to pass a hectic or slack week. I have got no lessons on 3 days of the weekdays. But the weekend is terribly packed. ): At least I've finished what i ought to do(except for studying for the coming test thoroughly).

To-do-list:
-I&E : Call up childcares, orphanages
-ODA: Call up laser quest company
-School: Test on monday, revisions for past lectures
-Home: Popo's Birthday
-Church: Baptism interview

Popo's birthday celebration is tomorrow and that would probably take up my whole night time. ): Hais. Just came back from St. Regis and I don't have enough time to study.

Baptism interview is scary too. x.x I haven't read through the past notes from the baptism class. GOSH!

And the test on monday. ): Haissss. I thought I was bringing my life back on track. But one hectic weekend is able to make me so rush and troubled.

HOW?

I just hope tomorrow's afternoon would be well spent. I need to stress myself to go over my limits. I just got to.

Mcdonald's, Justacia and Marche,

2010-11-17T23:20:00.000+08:00

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EoFOgNWIuwk/SN46uQycEQI/AAAAAAAABIM/DeFSHrkWdNM/s320/DSC01107.JPG

Gosh! Today's like the eat out day. ): Which is bad. I ate Mac's in the morning, Justacia in the afternoon then marche at night! ): So so so so so .... Hais!

But I enjoyed the marche most, duh!:D Rosti with Salmon is my fave because it taste so great. (: I don't like how my potato taste today though, a little bit too oily for my liking.

Tomorrow is another no school day! But gotta go to school for FYP talk. ): Really wish i can just stay at home and rest.

Alrighty, feeling rather bloated up now, gonna go do other stuff(s). :D nights!

Like a G6.

2010-11-16T23:02:00.000+08:00

Totally craving for belgium waffle. Why Singapore doesn't have waffles buffet? Or isit that I don't know about it? Lol.

And this will totally crash my diet. ):

Been raining frequently recently, which is kinda good cause it cools down the earth. But that would mean there will be more bugs flying into my house, which is really bad. ):

Anyway,

http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

I like how casual they look (: Too bad I have a small frame. Hais. I don't like the fact that they are holding ciggs though ):

I really like scarfs. But i have a short neck. So I can't pull off scarfs. Especially now that it's the christmas season, and I've seen many pretty scarfs, but I know I'll look terrible in them. So... Hais. ):

Oh well, I'll face it and have my good night rest now. (:

Lightning flashes,

2010-11-13T19:16:00.001+08:00

Really no mood to do anything. Not that anything bad happen, but I think I'm just tired.

Thank God for His providence though, I got 3 more students over the week. Pretty good(: And they are not troublesome students.

I've been seeing the USD jumping up and down recently. Quite scary. They say want it to drop, it drop so much. Now they want it to rise, it suddenly goes back up.

Hmm, It's raining quite heavily now, which is good, cause it's night time. And I'll probably have a good night sleep later on. (:

Anyway, sharing a very nice piano version for Just the way you are.

Mcdonald's

2010-11-08T22:08:00.000+08:00

Urgh,

I need one more Toapayoh to get the Free sky dining!! x.x

As much as I hate Mcdonald's food, this Monopoly thing is tempting me to buy them. ): But the chances of getting the 80k is like 1/6million. gosh, I wonder which meal then I can get THE sentosa cove.

Hais.

Eyes,

2010-11-06T22:21:00.000+08:00

I like how I can choose to focus my sight or just to blur it out and I'm the only one who knows that I'm doing that. HAHA. But, in the long run, that's gonna loosen my eye muscles and that's bad. So i should stop doing it. Lol.

Anyway,

It's a rather boring Saturday. Today feels like Sunday.

And I hate it when there is a pimple growing on my face. It totally disrupts my skincare routine. ): I have to avoid that spot which is so weird. ):

Hais, need to renew my PDL. Gosh.

Happy Deepavali!

2010-11-04T22:41:00.000+08:00

Hey-lo,

Happy early Deepavali!

Excited bout tmr, and idk why. HAHA. Maybe cause I get to go jogging in the morning and eat mac's breakfast with my family? Then go out in the afternoon till night and enjoy my day out tmr cause I finished all my homework:D

HAHA.

YES, i finished all my homework:D It's kinda like the first time I finish my homework like 1 week before. Feel so accomplished:D

But, I'm like left with nothing to do. ): Been REALLY bored nowadays cause lessons end too early. And I feel like I'm wasting all my time away. +, the weather is very very warm and I hate that. ):

Makes me feel like I'm having a headache and want to sleep and wakes up with another headache.

After this week, the next week would be quite draggy and longgggggggggg, cause it's odd week. Odd week are filled with lessons that start early and end late. And the timetable is not even confirmed yet. ): I can't plan my stuff well at all.

And, I think there's something wrong with me. I think i have photophobia. Been rather sensitive to light recently, like my com screen like and the television light even without my contacts. With my contacts its worst. Idk what went wrong, but been trying to wear specs to help my vision. Cause i really don't like to wear specs, so whenever i take out my contacts, I'll just go specless. which is really bad for eyesight. My face would be close to the screen and the bright lights would be really harmful. So now I'm keeping a distance but it's still as bad. ): Gosh. Read up more on photophobia here.

Alright, think i should get some rest. (: Good night! and enjoy your holiday:D

Sleep sleep sleep,

2010-11-03T20:47:00.000+08:00

Nowadays lessons end super early, so I get to go home early, and I'll sleep ): All the way till evening. Feels more awake but I don't really like to take afternoon naps. I end up with headaches most of the time. ):

Good thing is that tmr, I'll probably end school at 9.30am. LOL. I prepare to go school and then go for 1hr lesson then go home. This week is really SUPER slack.

Excited bout Friday! :D

Hais, there really isn't much things happening in my life nowadays. ): I can only say that I wish Singapore snows. Been thinking how it would be if Singapore snow:D I would probably bring a snowboard to school everyday since NP is full of slopes. :D haha. How cool is that! :D

If I win 100k, I'll take a portion of that and go US and stay there for a month or something. lols. :D

Tired,

2010-11-02T16:43:00.000+08:00

Went to school for a 3 hours prac. It's alright, I guess time passes rather quickly during prac. :D

Tmr will be another short day. Thursday will be even shorter. And Friday there's no school. This week is like the perfect week to study and revise. But i wonder, how many of such weeks will we get especially when we're nearing our CTs?

What's worst, I packed 3 lessons of driving in CT week. ): I think I'm trying to kill myself. But bobian, my test is right after CT week, and I won't have time to practice.

I really hate feeling tired. I can't think or do anything when I'm tired. ):

Ok, I should go take a nap before I start revising. ):

Week 2,

2010-10-31T22:49:00.000+08:00

Week 2 is starting already! So fast.

I have a very boring weekend, so there's really no point updating a boring life to a boring blog to make it even more boring.

But anyway,

School's been not too bad, and I'm quite alright with it so far. Though the timetable keeps changing, but I guess that is normal. Lab sessions are ok, but I hate the fact that i have to wear goggles. ): Goggles makes my face have the goggles mark cause my cheeks are way too fat. Oh well..

Anyway, was just thinking (cause the youths were watching the Martin Luther show this afternoon)..

That when we are born, we can't really choose which family we are born to and how we will be born like. Some people, born in a poor family and is born with diseases or symptoms. They can't be cured, and have to suffer financially and physically. Well, since they are a baby, you can't really determine that they sinned, or are sinners so they really don't deserve that kind of life. Others, born with a silver spoon, healthy and well. Do you consider them as saints so they get such comfortable life? They are still a newborn baby afterall. I'm not going to talk about how they can change their lives when they grow up cause that is another case. But, when we were just newborn babies, did we get to choose which family to be born into?

Seems like God is rather unfair in this case ain't He. Well, this sounds cliche or cheesy or whatever, but I guess God has a plan for us in whatever family we are born into. Consider the diseased, or born without limbs (http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/about-nick), God still gave them a plan, or even a bigger plan than those that are much more fortunate. Look at me, I have everything I want, but I consider myself more pathetic than those that are suffering but choose to be strong. What is strong when I'm comfortable?

Didn't plan to talk about Christianity but I guess if I want to talk about life before choice, I would have to touch on Christianity after all. It was God who created man anyway. Yes, we were created, believe it or not. I seriously cannot stand the fact that I am evolved(some so pokemon-ish) from an ape, or a single organism which can't even choose.

Oh well, I didn't derive this from the whole Martin Luther or what he did. I simply saw the crippled girl whom her mother carried her around and thought about how I am now, or how I would be if I'm born like this.

OH SHUCKS!

2010-10-28T20:45:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, I slept throughout the afternoon and evening after I finish my revisions. x.x Wasted half a day, but i feel so refreshed now! :D

I never knew I'll get so emotional over my hamster. I thought I would be as nonchalant as i was dissecting our white mouse in lab. I thought I would be able to touch it and hold it. But I couldn't. This hamster is more than just an animal to me. It's a friend that can't talk but is able to make me feel warm and snugly when I see her running around happily.

Now that she's gone, the wheel's gotten quieter ):

I'm left with one more hamster, but he doesn't move around much. He likes to be very neat and clean and will make a place just for him to sleep. I don't know whats wrong with him but he used to run around often. I guess I need to wake him up more often cause he's always sleeping. It's still nice to see him warm and moving.

Tomorrow is Friday already. Time flies when I'm in school and I like how fast the weeks past.

R,I,P,

2010-10-27T18:49:00.000+08:00

Dearest Chip,

By now you should be in hamster heaven enjoying all your favorite nuts. I'm sorry i had to only feed you with carrots as your last meal, I didn't know it'll be your last and I never hope it'll be.

Everyday I come home from school I'll check your cage, knock it so that you'll wake up and climb on the cage. A few times I would see you sleeping soundly and not moving when i tap at your bathing box. That few times really scare me but I would always be relieved when you start jerking like you just woken up from a nice dream.

But today, when i tapped you, you wouldn't move, wouldn't turn. You just lay there, cold and hard. I was really shocked. I didn't want to believe that you're gone, but you are.

I didn't know you'll leave me and Dale so soon. Won't you even miss your childhood friend?

When I browse through your pictures in my phone, I knew no other hamsters can replace you. You're that clever, fast and cute Chip I'll ever have. That only Chip I'll ever have.

I wish that you would have a great time at hamster heaven. I know I'll never see you again, the hamster with a bite mark at her right ear, the hamster that never fails to impress me with how fast you can run on the wheel, the hamster that will hide all the nuts she can find in her cheeks and still able to drink water, the hamster that always makes my day feel better.

I'll miss you, and I'm sure all those that love you will miss you too.

Love,
The owner that always feeds you nuts one by one.

--

My hamster just died a moment ago, actually I believe that she died a few hours ago, because her body was already stiff when I touched her. I buried her already. I know she'll never be able to read this letter I typed for her, cause firstly, she can't read and secondly, she doesn't know I have a blog.

Yesterday, she was still running around happily when i cleaned her cage. She was still running around her cage and climbing up and down. I was more worried for the other hamster cause he didn't run as much as last time and don't like to move around. I didn't know a piece of baby carrot would be her last meal. I knew she hated carrots. But she finished it anyway.

She probably died from a dislocated hind leg. When I flipped her around, her left hind leg was dislocated and there was traces of blood on her body. I wished she died in peace, but sadly, she didn't.

I wish I knew she dislocated her leg so that I can bring her to a vet to treat it. But it was too late when I'm home. She's already gone.

I wish she understand what is sorry. I wish I can still express my apology.

I'll treasure Dale more now. I don't want to regret not taking good care of him.

I really miss you Chip.

2nd day of school

2010-10-26T21:05:00.000+08:00

Hello,

Ok, feeling rather accomplished today cause i managed to do quite a few things! :D

Cleaned my brushes, wiped my whiteboard, clean my hamster cage. :D not bad la hor:D

That's what i can do when Tuesday lessons end so early. This sem is indeed less stressful cause the timetable is more spread out:D

School's fine. How else can it be? haha. Been going to school for a year plus already, more or less used to lectures and all. I just don't want to doze off during lectures or tutorials can already:D and must make sure got enough rest!! (:

Alright, think i should pack my bag for tmr so that i can sleep earlier later:D nights(:

TT,

2010-10-24T22:26:00.000+08:00

Hello,

Today is the last day of my 6 weeks of holidays. I shouldn't be feeling anything because I've been through this twice already. Today is the third. It's not so bad, when i was looking at my calender. The days would be passing by pretty quickly, which is a good thing I guess. I've gotten my bag ready for school and all my notes are ready too. Seems like this sem would be another war. An easier war, I hope.

Craving for Astons and Marche. ): FAT.

School's starting,

2010-10-22T23:31:00.000+08:00

Idk to be happy or sad that school is starting. Firstly, I'm glad that I don't have to work for my mum because it's really boring when there's nothing to do and it's freaking cold there. But I get to eat good food:D Secondly, school would be tying me down pretty badly, so I won't have time for many things ): Thirdly, I wish I was a little more special and don't have to attend school and still be able to get GPA 4. lol, which will never happen.

Oh well, so I just have to face the reality and attend school. I pretty much dread waking up early the most. And the traffic jams. ): I wish school is just next door.

No point complaining, just have to buck up.

Good thing is that school is 5 days and not 7 days. :D

I always wish that I would wake up with a taller body, slimmer face and bigger eyes. x.x Lol. Nothing wrong with dreaming right? :D

Dinner @ Equinox complex

2010-10-17T23:10:00.000+08:00

It's really a pleasure to have dinner with my family at Equinox complex. A little intro on this place:

Singapore's “highest” culinary landmark with world-class cuisine and spectacular views of Singapore, the award-winning Equinox Restaurant enchants with the most scrumptious authentic International offerings.

Seated in the elegant amphitheatre-style restaurant, be awed by three-storey high teak and rice paper lanterns, Ming-inspired wooden trellises and a luminous wall of mother of pearl.

I would really say, this is somewhat my first time doing fine dining.

This is how the restaurant look like:

One bad point about the restaurant is that the lighting at night is really terrible. I had to strain my eyes the whole time because the lighting was way too warm. I think its because we're sitting by the windows, so they expected more "natural" light. That aside, the food was great.

First off, we were greeted with some bread and baguette which taste really good with the butter, olive oil and sour cream placed in front of us for us to choose. Then, they surprised us with some canapé which included salmon skin with raw salmon and salmon roe on top, some cheesy-baby-food-like "soup" and smoked eel. All taste really good but my personal favourite got to be the salmon(cause I love salmon, duh).

After around 15mins or so, the appetizers came and we ordered some seabass, Foie Gras de Canard and some mussels in cheese(i think) with salmon roe.

As you can see, the lighting really is darn bad. x.x But the food is great! :D

After another 15mins or so, the main course is served. Didn't take any pictures of the main course, cause the lighting was really cmi + they look too delicious:X haha. But anyway, we ordered Suckling Pig ‘55C’ Celeriac and Mustard, Smoked Full-blooded Black Angus Tenderloin “Pan-fried Bone Marrow” and Shimeji Mushrooms, Spiced Pigeon, Foie Gras and Peanuts, and some smoked pork(I cant find the name online! x.x). I tried all of them, and I prefer the black angus (which is my main course:D). The pigeon tasted really weird, but I guess it's because we don't know how to appreciate it ):

After which, the desserts were served. We ordered Salted Caramel with “Walnut Snow” and Elderflower and caramelized apple with lemon sorbet. The lemon sorbet is really good. Haha.

Just when we thought that all was served, they surprised us with another dish. Some assorted sweets which taste really great and made the meal seems whole:D

Apologies for lousy pictures. x.x

So, a few night shots:D

Good night! (:

Crazy,

2010-10-17T16:34:00.000+08:00

Hello,

Hmm, realised that I haven't been buying much things online lately (which is darn great) and I can start saving up! :D

There was this one period of time which I seriously cannot stop buying things. And i suddenly got a lot of new clothes. LOL. But now, it kinda hurt to see my bank acc money to decrease, so I'm trying to control already.

Is this a kind of disorder? LOL. Well, if it is, I'm getting out of the disorder(shopping disorder? :X).

But I guess, one person can have many disorder in their lives.

But, I think a disorder can be anything. Even being obsessed with cleanliness can be a disorder. I guess some people just don't like to be too tidy and named it a disorder. ):

Everyone says "in moderation" is good. But what is moderation? A clean table with a pencil not at it's place? Haha, that would be weird.

Ok, this is getting no where, just letting my thoughts flow and not caring what I'm typing. My dad says, the future technology will involve us thinking and the computer or what-so-ever will be able to "know" what we're thinking and type it out or something. That's scary isn't it? I won't have time to organize what I'm thinking. x.x

You know,

2010-10-16T10:33:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, I really wonder, why don't God just give me whatever i want?

Been facing with quite a number of down moments these few days. A couple of hiccups and stuff. I was praying rather hard for comfort but in the end I get more disappointments. As much as I want things to go my way, they don't.

Well, I guess I am only human, and am not prepared for the many responsibilities. Maybe it is better this way. There is nothing wrong with what is happening, but I just can't cope with my own emotions.

I believe that He has His better plans for me.

And I still thank Him for whatever I have now. (:

Opps!

2010-10-15T22:38:00.000+08:00

My bad, for the lack of updates ):

Been really devastated about my driving results ):

But i am pretty quite sure that I'll pass the 2nd time i take it. :D be optimistic Jiajia!

It's really funny how I can tell other people to cheer up and there's always a second chance, but now that i feel the pain and hurt, it's really hard to face the wheel again. ): It's even harder to face my instructor. I'm quite sure I'll get a real bad scolding from him for all the silly mistakes i made. Hais!

Stay optimistic please. Being sad won't earn me a pass anyway.

Just received my pay, pretty good. :D enough to buy me my shoes and pay back my watch. LOL.

That's something to be happy about (: but after paying for all these, I'm broke again. Waiting to get my pay from my mum. :D

Actually, I can't wait for November to end. Cause it's like stuck in between. It's like, there, but not there that kind of feeling. December is the ultimate holiday month that I like because it is christmas!! And christmas is nice because there are bright and pretty lights and people exchange gifts:D So November, hurry come and go please! :D

Oh come on!

2010-10-11T20:48:00.000+08:00

Please please please please,

Don't let me knock down some old man tomorrow.

But most importantly,

LET ME PASS MY FREAKING DRIVING TEST.

Thank you very much.

ARRGH,

2010-10-09T10:56:00.000+08:00

A quick post before I leave for my piano lesson.

A very sad thing happened to me yesterday ): I remembered my driving practical lesson day, and I thought it was Friday, but it's suppose to be thursday! ): So, I wasted one lesson, and my driving test is so so so near! Now i feel so scared. x.x What if i don't pass? (Retake la! x.x). But i don't want to retake! waste time and money ): HAIS.

Ok, gonna go for piano lesson already. Been so tired lately ):

9-6,

2010-10-06T23:45:00.000+08:00

So I've been working at my Dad's company. Walking through his warehouse makes me feel as if I'm in some fighting movie where i have to dodge oncoming bullets which might hit me anytime from my enemies. x.x and i get to hide and shoot, hide and shoot. hahahhha. And I guess it's rather conducive for jumping around and doing stunts cause there are so many huge machines around!

Working 9-6 everyday is quite tiring. Lol. And I almost doze off when my mum was talking to me about work. Gosh. x.x

So driving test in another less than a week. scared! ):

Tmr is another 9-6 day. Hope i can pull through without dozing off! :D Short post, gotta go:D

Overflowing Joy,

2010-10-04T21:32:00.000+08:00

Many of my 18 years old biggest test is over, and the results are out. Thank God, that everything turned out better than i thought they would be. I passed my BTT/FTT, passed my finals, passed my piano exam(which is a miracle!). And the upcoming one is my driving test which is coming in around 8 more days. If i pass it, I will really be .. speechless. I really don't deserve so much grace from Him.

I may not be the smartest out there, but I believe that God will bring me through everything. :D

My first day at my dad's office is alright, learnt a few stuff, did a few paperwork(such as tearing paper x.x). Haha. Not too bad:D very relax, but i somehow preferred the catering job because I get to experience and see more things. I get to go to events and know what is going on out there, and see how people behave and such. Different company behaves differently. Haha. Working for the catering company just allows me to remind myself not to behave like them next time when there are food around. :D

Oh well, there's gonna be another driving practice tmr. Hopefully I'll do well. I always rate myself after my driving lesson. The last one i rated myself 3/10. Cause i really sucked. I can't change lanes properly, did a few terrible mistakes while parking and am very forgetful. Probably cause i didn't get to attend lessons for 2 weeks. So hopefully this few lessons will buck me up. :D

I really love how life is now. (: Blessed with everything i need, or even more than i need. :D

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
-Psalm 23

Oh no,

2010-10-01T17:25:00.000+08:00

Oh yes. Results are out. :D

And thank God i did better than expected:D I really don't deserve my results considering the fact that i was getting 30+++++% out of 60% for CA. x.x Seems like my finals was pretty well done:D

Alright, nuff said bout studies. I'm not gonna work for catering company already. My mum bought me over at $8/hr. LOL. was hoping i can work longer for her, but her working hours start at 9am and ends at 6pm. x.x

My mouth can't stop chewing on food. x.x

It's another new month, and a new sem is coming up! Gonna work extra hard again to get better results:D I want GPA 4 for the coming 3 sems. HAHA. erhm, im not joking k. :D

Ok, I'm really darn bored at home. i cleared my notes, packed and threw away my typed notes and kept those teacher gave. Packed my table and it's ready to store new notes for next sem. :D

See, I'm so ready to get a GPA 4. hahahhah:D

Angry bird,

2010-09-28T11:17:00.000+08:00

It's 2 days more and I'll know my exam results. Idk to be scared or what, but I am, really scared. x.x

My bro was buried under my stufftoys.

And then he decided to play angry bird with my pigs. my pillows are the fortress. x.x

When he couldn't get the fortress down, he decided to just destroy it.

Have a nice day:D

After a long weekend,

2010-09-26T20:33:00.000+08:00

I am a person who hates getting dirty. I don't like insects, neither do I like touching dirty stuff.

I like adventure, and I like to climb and do sports. But i hate getting uncomfortable. Ironic huh. Lol.

I think that staying presentable is a form of respect. I will never let a strand of hair go out of place when I tie my hair, and i need a mirror to do that. I will take extra effort to make myself clean and tidy even in a camp. I am actually very very troublesome. I will scream and shout at anyone when I'm not in a good mood. ):

I just came back from LSCT OAC camp. And I must say, I got dirty, uncomfortable, insect's bites, etc. I'm home with a itchy leg and tons of bite marks from insects. Nonetheless, I believe I had fun(:

When I was young, I like to climb anything. I wasn't like a little girl who plays barbie or imagined that I am someone who can cook with play dough. In fact, maybe it's because I got 2 brothers, I prefer to run around and climb up and down.

I really enjoyed the mountain trekking because climbing seems to make me happy. :D

Even though i came back with bruises all over, I would say that it was a good camp. (: At least, the toilets are pretty good.

This is my first Overseas camp, and I would say it's a good experience. (:

But, I am still not a fan of overseas camp. At least I'm not so afraid now. Haha. :D

Awwwww.

2010-09-22T21:57:00.000+08:00

Been ultra busy with work nowadays. x.x And I splurged on a watch. ): Now I'm broke all over again. The watch look like this. :D

:D

Then now i must work extra harder to earn back the money i spent. x.x Goshhh.

One more day, and I'm off to kota tinggi. Idk what to expect there, but please help me shed some weight. Working in a food industry certainly doesn't help someone who wants to maintain her weight. ):

):

Image heavy.

2010-09-19T17:22:00.000+08:00

Went to my cousin's church today. Tested out a new app my cousin introduced me to:D the pictures are really good. All taken from my iPhone:D cant image a 3.2 megapixel cam can take such nice pictures:D all thanks to the app! (: i won't say the pictures are top-notch quality, but coming from a 3.2megapixel, it's really good. If only i had the 5megapixel one ):

Most of the pictures are all my bros. Testing out the app on them:D haha. Alright, have a nice (remaining) sunday:D

Uhoh

2010-09-18T15:40:00.000+08:00

Ok, so i have one new student today, and she's only 2.5years old. haha. The interesting thing is that she doesnt behave herself when her mother is around. she listens to instructions when her mother is not around. Haha, weird huh:D

So, stay home Saturday again. Finally i get to rest my legs. Next week's gonna be just as hectic. 3 days will be gone because i'll be going to kota tinggi. and that cost me $80 loss from teaching piano lessons ): LOL.

Oh well. I wish i can drive earlier. Really sick of taking public transport. But driving can be quite scary. x.x

Idk what to do on a Saturday. FAIL.

I think I'm gonna burn some lanterns today.

A day before Saturday:D

2010-09-17T23:16:00.000+08:00

Hello!

So i unexpectedly accepted a job today, and i am very tired now. x.x standing for long hours is no joke. At least the people today are much much nicer than yesterday's.

Glad that tomorrow is an off day for me and i can rest:D it's mid autumn festival. And i wonder why they don't have mid spring, summer or winter festival. haha. I bet there's nothing to do with chang e and the people who made this festival out just wanted something to celebrate. :D

Oh well, the many weird festivals.

1 week of the holiday is going to end, and i'll be left with 5 more weeks. x.x

Strained

2010-09-15T22:25:00.000+08:00

Hello!

So, had LSCT training today. It was alright, but being a welfare, is really not what i should be x.x Idk what i should be actually. Hais.

But thanks to Elvina for her soap, and Ben for the ride. That kinda made me feel better about today. :D and of course, dear's presence made my day. :D

So it wasn't that bad. (:

Tmr's gonna be a long long day, working from 7am on till 4pm. x.x this catering job is really sucking the life outta me. ):

But it's ok, i've got nothing to do anyway. :D

Alright, a short rant. Goodnight! (:

OH, ONE MORE THING, I PASSED MY PIANO EXAM!! :D:D:D

Inspiration

2010-09-14T22:52:00.001+08:00

(Yiruma) River Flows in You - Sungha Jung

My inspiration to learn classical guitar. Enjoy (:

The trees know the seasons best,

2010-09-14T00:13:00.000+08:00

Taken when I'm on my way to school. :D It's autumn already. though the leaves are not brown, but look at the amount of leaves that fell! :D autumn is my 2nd most favorite season:D

Long day at work today, it's not as bad as the other days, but still, it's tiring. :D but it's ok, better than nothing to do:D

Driving tomorrow, rest, and training on wed! this week is gonna be a hectic week. :D can't wait to finish my grade 8 piano and start on diploma and further studies on that, probably. Mum says i can go NAFA instead of UNI for sciences, though i don't mind going to NTU for their biological sciences. haha. there are so many decisions to make in life! x.x see my GPA how first:D

Alright, i should get rest after my hair dries. :D gonna slack around for awhile, and enjoy my little pleasures(youtube! :D)

Beware

2010-09-12T22:42:00.000+08:00

What do you see in this picture? Probably a dragonfly, nothing much eh?
Look closer.

This dragonfly was stuck in the window pane and dead. ): I was so shocked to see this early in the morning when i go to church. It's quite sad, cause the dragonfly look quite alive.

Quite a boring sunday as well, stuck at home and kinda mapled the whole day ): IDK if that's good or not. lols. but i guess holidays are here just for us to enjoy ourselves and not worry about studies at all. And that's what i'm doing. haha. :D

Purple sticks

2010-09-11T22:04:00.000+08:00

So i was eating Jagabee's new purple potato stick today, and when i opened the package, i saw this scary purple sticks.

Doesn't this just reminds you of a purple finger? x.x

But it taste just as good as the normal one, just that the colour is erm.. yea. haha.

Lol. see the yellow potato guy, so happy to be salted. :D

A picture of my bro, playing an iphone app game. Look at his intense face(side face).

Found this picture in my cam's memory with my another brother. I think it's taken years back. (i think 2 years max:X). I don't think i changed much. lols.

Ok, my Saturday is pretty boring. I hope to have a better week next week. :D

Aching arms and legs

2010-09-10T14:18:00.000+08:00

Happy holidays people! :D

After work yesterday, I was so so so tired that i couldn't blog another post ):

My arms and legs are still aching right now. Very sad.

Anyway, yesterday's event was at heeren, which is quite cool:D and its some closed "party" for DBS/POSB card holders to enjoy some discounts at the newly opened ALT (something like johnlittle, metro). ALT seems to be more for 20-30 years old ladies, which is unlike metro and all (for older adults). they have rather interesting stuff there, which i will definitely be checking them out soon:D

But anyway,

Work was really tiring. I think cause it's been VERY long since i last held platters/plates. I hope the ache will go away by sunday, because I AM GOING TO PLAY BADMINTON! :D:D:D but i cannot play for the next next week cause i'm going OAC ):

Most of the OAC stuff are tied down, i guess. (: i feel like i didn't do much, cause qiudong was doing most of the stuff. i feel so bad x.x

Oh well, i shall tidy up my room (By trashing all my notes away (hopefully i dont have to retake any modules)) :D

Happy holidays again:D

OMG

2010-09-09T11:18:00.000+08:00

I'M SO DARN BLOODY BORED! x.x gonna get ready to go out though. But, without exams, and without something to study, it feels so weird!!! x.x I really need to get something to keep myself busy become i go crazy x.x

Been back to my PSP (like finally, after so many years. got it like 3 years ago, played with it for a few months, and never touched it since x.x ) I'm not that kind of person that will carry lots of stuff and make my hands busy. I like to keep them free (so that i can scratch my face when i need to, or sweep my fringe aside or something like that. lols). So a PSP really isn't something that i like to hold and play all the time. But i guess, i'm so bored, i'll give it a try. I hope my psp can be mod :X LOL.

I really like my PSP, i mean it:X lols.

Alright, i should get ready to go out already. Probably update again when i come home.

FINALLY (:

2010-09-08T22:29:00.001+08:00

Alrighty!

Finals are finally overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!! :D:D:D:D

HAHAHAHHA.

LOL. Ok, I'm so happy:D because i don't have to mug all day and all night! :D exciting plans lined up! (actually not much x.x)

So, i went to eat islandcreamery (as in the icecream) with HY and clive, and asked if they're hiring. they say they are, but need work during school term also. ): so that's a no-no already cause i don't want to kill myself. Then, went to vivo to meet dear and watched haunted changi. And seriously, i can't watch any horror AT ALL. I was hiding like 5/6 of the show, and this is not even the scariest it can go. x.x i suck at this, really ):

Went to eat dinner and headed home :D Having a headache now ):

Gonna have piano lesson early in the morning, and then go for catering job till late. ): tired!

Gotta have my holidays planned out. I WILL NOT LET THIS LAST 6 WEEKS OF HOLIDAYS GO TO WASTE! (because the next 6 weeks of hols will be filled with internship or fyp (so fast right!!))

Okiedokie. Off to do other stuff :D

Countdown : 2 DAYS!!!!!!!! :D

2010-09-06T22:51:00.000+08:00

Ok, so its 2 days more! (Actually more like 1, cause today just ended:D)

I shall share what I've been eyeing on:D (not much actually:X)

Cath Kidston Spot folded zip wallet

(which i'll be ordering very very soon:D)

dr marten's constance black buttero:D

Toywatch Fluo Plasteramic - Blue

OR

Toywatch Neon Plasteramic - Ultra Violet

Last (and hopefully the least, but its not ): )

Sony cybershot DSC-W360

:D

And i shall work! so that i can buy at least 2 of what i want and still can save up:D been saving up quite a lot so that i can really buy what i really want. (:

Alrighty! back to revision for the last 10mins! (:

Countdown : 3 days!! :D

2010-09-05T17:38:00.000+08:00

Ok, i really think my maths fail. I cant even count a countdown properly. Paper's on wednesday, so today + tomorrow + tomorrow tomorrow = 3 days. :D

I really don't know how i should go about studying mmb. The notes are already so concise that I don't have to type it out. I think i should just do the papers again. x.x glad that i have 3 days to study for this module (:

I had a terrible dream. I dreamt that i was shot by a gun. ):

Did i mention that writing the immunology paper was like writing a war manual? lols. Because everything inside is about eliminating, fighting, killing the pathogens. I was tempted to add in some bloodshed but the only blood that is possible in the paper is in a question where it said that there's this guy who scraped his knee. x.x

So it was a kinda boring paper. I think mmb will be like war also. It's about how our body is able to eradicate the bacteria and stop the infection or something like that.

And, I'm not some psychopath who is crazy about gore. x.x

My bro and I decided to apply for a job at island creamery! well, idk if they're even hiring so... hahahhaa. it's just a dream to work at a icecream shop cause it's so cold there (:

Ok, gonna go drink some water and start mugging! (:

Countdown : 5 days!! :D

2010-09-04T15:41:00.000+08:00

Ok, immuno paper was ok. (:

Never felt so free before, like dont have to chiong to do my work. Now I'm only left with mmb :D

Good. After wednesday I'm free(: and IMO, i think MMB is the nicest to study. Probably cause the teacher is funny and makes us laugh all the time.

I'm so tempted to get coloured contacts. ): but i dont have the right cleaning solution for it. So i can only wear daily ones. But they are so expensive! x.x so i should just stick to normal ones right? lols.

Gosh, now it feels weird not to study. I was stuck at this blog post for the past 40mins. x.x i guess this boulder would never be rolled away until after my papers. ): Ok, i should do something useful. :D

Countdown : 6 days :D

2010-09-03T14:08:00.000+08:00

What's the very sad thing?

I can't stay up on Friday night! ): because there is a paper tomorrow. thought i can take a break and sleep late and wake up late ):

But it's ok. the faster it comes, the faster it'll go :D

The paper's alright, but was VERY disappointed that none of what i memorized came out. ): I even drew pictures for them ): oh well, its over. and i'm glad that it is. It's immunology next, and there's EVEN more things to remember. It just gets tougher, and fun-ner. :D

Ok, i really want a job badly after my exams. I need $$!

Awesome weather again. (: Would be better if it's snowing. :D haha! can't imagine me wrapped like a ball writing notes:D (actually, if singapore snows, we'll have a warmer at home, and i dont have to be wrapped like a ball and writing notes :X)

Okie dokieeeeeeee. Study time (:

Countdown : 7 days :D

2010-09-02T12:52:00.000+08:00

Alright,

I was a good start (IMO). :D i thought that the paper was relatively ok. (:

Just a quick short post before i start on my DBG (again) (:

I must really thank God for this, like seriously. He's providing me with the best environment (for me:D) to study. Its DBG, IMM and MMB and I'm doneeeee! :D

To me, I consider these as challenges. Well, what's life without challenges? (: and what should we do with challenges? Of course do our best la! :D haha. i bet everyone knows that (:

Looking at the 6 DBG papers, I feel so relieve. Lucky is 6 papers to review only. Lol.

Ok, really a short post. Time to embark on my revision (: Good luck everyone :D

Countdown : 1 day

2010-09-01T22:35:00.001+08:00

Gosh,

I've been a really hardworking girl today.

I can do it! I can do it! I really can do it!:D

Ok, after the ccta paper, it'll be a HUGE load off my mind. I can take the folder "CCTA" in my brain and throw it into the "trashcan" in my brain:D

DBG is certainly more enjoyable than CCTA (Even though its not much of a diff x.x but i guess i only have to rmb the development part :D )

Ok. Gonna sleep early tonight. BYEEEEEEEEE (:

Btw, all the best to my classmates (:

Countdown : 2 days

2010-08-31T18:11:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-30T17:53:00.000+08:00

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,

2010-08-29T23:15:00.000+08:00

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?

2010-08-28T23:24:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-28T00:52:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-27T23:52:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-26T17:36:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-25T12:14:00.000+08:00

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.

2010-08-23T19:48:00.000+08:00

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)

2010-08-21T00:54:00.001+08:00

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! (:

):

2010-08-20T17:41:00.000+08:00

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

2010-08-19T13:47:00.001+08:00

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).
