"Be Love" is a bold declaration. It's about choosing kindness over being right. It's about cutting out the conditions in which you might think are required for love and going straight to the source, or rather, being the source yourself, that which is Love, unconditional.

So… Question of the moment:
What conditions are you willing to let go of today?

finally an update!

work's going fine :) i like the fact that i'm surrounded by people i know, cos most of the pharmacology dept is in the same building as me ever since a part of it moved over from CeLS a few months back. and it's HELLO cell culture all over again hehe :) i wasn't employed to do cell culture initially but a colleague decided to head for greener pastures so i'm taking over her cell culture project. beats doing HPLC man. so damn boring! i keep wanting to fall asleep staring at those peaks. but i'll still have to do HPLC in future. oh well, doing HPLC PLUS cell culture beats doing HPLC alone. lol! i dunno if i'm still required to do animal work in future or not but i'm secretly hoping that i don't need to :S haha.

my lab's damn small btw! there are three of us and one is leaving next week so it's just two! but they're gonna employ like one or two more RAs i think.

i miss Bian's lab SO MUCH. they're one helluva noisy bunch. they're one floor above me and whenever i reach the lift landing on their level (i find myself visiting them more often than i should) i hear their laughter lol.

---

Commencement was fun :) a great end to an important chapter in my life. am lazy to post pictures haha. they're up on facebook anw! now i finally understand when friends say that they're lazy to post pics on their blogs after posting them on FB lol. yes i'm slow!

i'm lazy to do up a photo journal of the Three Gorges trip as well! zzz. work makes me sian to do anything else when i reach home lol.

shall post a few photos here till the next time i get my butt down to really writing about the trip :) dunno when that will happen! hmmm my mind tells me it'll probably never happen hahaha.

so here goes:

the unique mountains iconic of Zhang Jia Jie. the rain was a mood dampener :(

Bao Feng lake:

sunset on the bus ride to Yi Chang:

a picture of our cruise:

Yang Tze River, or 长江. the water's a murky brown when we were there cos it's summer and heaploads of soil and mud get deposited in it. it's a nice bluish green in the other seasons! DARN.

my favourite part of the trip: a visit to the Three Gorges Dam and Shiplock!

Little Three Gorges:

this picture says "China!" all over it :) haha. at Bai Di Cheng (literally White Emperor City):

pretty flowers at Feng Du Ghost City (a dumb tourist attraction that reminds me of Haw Par Villa):

flying kites on the deck of the cruise with the strong wind in our faces. an experience in itself :)

our journey:

spent 3 days in Zhang Jia Jie (not in map) then took a 6-hour bus ride to Yi Chang where we boarded the cruise which went along the Yang Tze River (see the three gorges on the map!) for 4 days till we reached Chong Qing where we flew home thereafter. what a mouthful! haha.

ok it's 12 am now and i have to sleep! i'm now sleeping at or before 12 am every night or else i'll be a zombie in the lab the next day.

2009-07-04T23:50:00.002+08:00

i'm back! and there's lots of things to settle cos work starts on Monday :(( am so freaked out about starting work. is this normal? :S and commencement is just four days away! damn fast cannn.

after a week of escaping from reality, everything just comes right back and slaps you in the face.

3 gorges was awesome. i left my heart somewhere along the Yangtze River and it refuses to come back :((

caught the amazing sunset on the plane back to sg. :) pretty much a fitting way to end it all.

2009-06-25T22:49:00.001+08:00

went for medical checkup today (for work), and once i handed over the slip of paper with the NUS logo on it to the doc she immediately asked, "Ooh, which course of study are you going into?"

zzzzz.

something tells me i so totally don't look my age. like i don't already know.

i dunno if i should be happy or sad. LOL.

---

Transformers was kinda disappointing. was so looking forward to it for MONTHS. maybe cos i had really high expectations of it! too much noise, too much action, too many robots clumped together in one place, silly plot. rahhhh. maybe i shouldn't look forward to Harry Potter as much i am doing right now. haha!

anw everyone please watch I Love You, Man cos it's freaking funny!! i guess it appeals much more cos it's way different from the typical rom-com :)

ANWWW i just finished watching this Korean reality show We Got Married that has Kim Hyun Joong (i finally can remember his name! and i only watched the parts that has him hahaha) in it! he's mad hilarious in real life, so different from the introverted Ji Hoo :p

yes i know. stop judging me already! wahaha.

randomly, i heard that Dunkin' Donuts is making its comeback in sg! in Ion Orchard i think. i wonder if Krispy Kreme will ever be imported over :((

and another random note: i'm counting down to 26th July with bated breath :)))

Remember that catchy phrase I won’t worry my life away? For the first time in my life it’s manifested into something more than just a concept. Worry is what happens when we create meaning in a way that brings us down and it’s usually about an event that never really happens. If a dog bites me, I might worry that it could happen again. But that’s me worrying about a dog bite that has yet to happen. It’s me holding on to being bit by a dog. My future is full of dogs biting me. Get it? Therefore, the power in saying a dog bit me has more freedom and truth than saying, “Dogs don’t like me,” which is a worry filled statement.

"How did you find me?"

"I heard it. The emergency bell. I couldn't sleep at night because I was afraid I won't hear it."

awwwwwwww!!

-slaps self- wake up, ts, wake up.

ok now that i'm done with going absolutely gaga over a certain Korean guy (whose actual name i keep forgetting), i'll go back to catching up on Lost! haha. have been putting it on hold for goodness knows how long.

---

a ride on the Flyer for 10 bucks! the matric card is power :))

my verdict: super worth the $10, but totally not worth the $29.50 adult normal price.

---

remember how i used to whine in my blog entries about how i can't imagine myself doing lab for life? right now, i can't imagine myself doing anything else. haha.

if there's an opportunity i'll prolly do a Masters in the near future. kl's right about gaining work experience first instead of doing a Masters straightaway after graduating. i can't see myself doing a PhD in future though cos that's really freaky. (and i'll have to pay sab 1k hahahaha for losing a bet!) right now i shall just gain as much lab experience as possible i guess.

for the first time in my life i'm actually kinda excited about what the future holds. haha. that's a good thing! i still don't know where this will lead, but i'll just see where life takes me from here :)

what happened to my Forensic Scientist Dream, you may ask! see, i'm fickle like that :p don't get me wrong, i'd LOVE to be those kinda forensic scientists who go to crime scenes and search for evidence (instead of being cooped up in a HSA lab analyzing samples forever) but there aren't any opportunities in Singapore unless i join the police force which is of course outta the question. so that's quite sad.

i've to thank sinhui actually, for waking me up from my FSD! haha.

will be going on a trip to China with the family on the 27th! too bad the bf can't go cos of work :(( it'll be a good break for all of us i guess, to keep our minds off things that have been going on, at least for the eight days we're there, especially for my mum. and for me as well, cos it'll be my last trip before i start work :S

to say i'm feeling apprehensive is an understatement.

sigh. growing up is inevitable.

2009-06-09T20:04:00.002+08:00

i succumbed to kl's repeated attempts to convert me into a Korean Meteor Garden addict, and now i'm so hooked!! hahaha. (OMG ts watching korean dramas!)

and it's solely the fault of this certain pretty boy:

:))) i showed the bf a picture of the four guys and asked him to guess which one's the one i like. his first guess was Woo Bin (mei zuo)! WTH!! then he was like "don't tell me it's this one!!" while pointing to Ji Hoo (hua ze lei) -cue fangirl-like squealing from me- and he was like "eeyer so gay!!!"

rawrrr. damn shuai cannot take it anymore. kl, i like him with his short hair leh!

2009-06-03T00:03:00.001+08:00

Is this the moment where i look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if i tell you i won't go away today...

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I'm permanent
I'm permanent...

2009-05-30T15:04:00.004+08:00

Congratulations on your graduation! We will be printing your degree scroll soon.

...here comes the beginning of the rest of our lives.

and as we try to go back to the humdrum of normal life, deep down inside we all know that things will never be the same again.

people say that time heals all wounds. can it heal this one?

others say that time does NOT heal all wounds. time just simply passes. it is what you do with the time that heals.

so what can we do? be strong together, and let memories of them live on forever, in our hearts.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. - Bertrand Russell

came across this while reading Mraz's blog, and oh my how apt :)))

and so i had the last exam ever on Monday, which ended with a bang! (literally, with party poppers outside the exam venue lolll.)

experienced this unexplainable rush of emotions after the paper haha. Life Science is tough shit man. i'm so glad it's over. i seriously don't think it's any easier than say, Medicine, or Pharmacy. but we're the sad ones who have a tough time finding a job after we graduate.

oh well, no one said life was fair. haha.

am gonna take it slowww. let me rest for like a few weeks before i start full scale job-hunting can.

random things!

me and my one-year-of-work-compressed-into-a-plastic-sheet. thanks ben! (and jay for sending me!) haha.

sunset at Sentosa :)) while waiting to surprise a blindfolded mike on his birthday! hahaha.

with my fellow Honours compatriots when we went back for a formal farewell :) 3 Biansters and 1 Wongster lol.

I don't know how it gets better than this

yesterday sab and i were on the topic of why people get married. why do you need to get married? why can't you be in a bf/gf relationship with someone forever? is it just because you wanna have kids? or is it just because you can get a flat? it's to grow old together, you say. why do we need to marry to grow old together?

today my parents and i were talking about why do we need wedding dinners. why?? you spend such a hefty sum of money and plan and plan for months on end for just one night, and then after that those people who turn up for your wedding (those long-lost relatives that you don't feel like inviting but bo bian) go on with their lives and you go on with yours. like they'll even care that you got married. why can't it be a simple gathering with family members (that you're close to) and close friends? is it because of "face"? is it to show off? like oh, my wedding was at Ritz Carlton you know, yours leh??

oh and on the topic of getting married, why do we need wedding proposals?? i mean, when you're with this someone for a reasonably long time and you feel like he/she is the one, you'll automatically want to be with him/her for the rest of your life. you'll set up joint accounts. you'll apply for a flat. you'll plan for the future. then why do you still need to set a specific date to propose when you've already done all that? why will the girl even say no? unless she was just playing a fool with the guy for the x years they've been together?

do i sound cynical?? hahahaha. all these questions bug me to no end. but after all these rants, i'm sure all of us will still end up doing all that, because that is the norm, because that is what everyone else is doing.

and since we're on the topic of the one, happy 43rd month and 1 day bb! :) we had a hard time counting haha.

---

anwssss Swensen's shepherd pie is DAMN GOOOOOOD!!!! it's heavennn for potato lovers like me. haha. the only thing i hated was that the beef came in chunks that were too huge for my liking. i'm not a chunky meat kinda person. but i'll eat it again for the potato :)) and the button mushrooms.

and so yesterday was thesis submission day a.k.a last official day of school till the exams. bittersweet. i'll miss NUS, that's for sure.

four years, four frickin years. and that's it. now i finally know how the rest of the LS gang felt at this time last year.

i'll miss lab too :( can't wait to visit them after the exams when i have to hand in my logbook and officially end all ties with the lab lol. but hopefully i won't end all ties with the people there haha :)

another one of my huge regrets: not wanting to try for the LO position in the lab :((( what was i thinking :( dumb dumb dumb dumb. can i turn back time :((

anws i don't feel like studying :( but i know have to. soon soon!! i'm really really damn scared of free rad :((( how how. i know at the back of my mind that whatever grades i get for my two papers won't affect my overall CAP (after completing a 16-frickin-MCs honours project, everything else suddenly seems much smaller and less important LOL), but i just can't get by them without putting in the same amount of effort as i did in previous semesters. i am such a nerd, i know :D wahaha. for now let me just enjoy the feeling of not doing anything :)) yes, fleeting happiness once again.

and randomly, WHY WHY WHY did they save Matt Giraud?? :((( what if my Kris kena voted out next week?? :((( sighhhh.

please watch this!! it's a short film which is really good in my opinion :)

2009-04-15T14:07:00.004+08:00

this is taken from the "You know you've worked too long in a lab when..." facebook group (i picked out the stuff that are hilarious and oh so true):

You always seem to use the microscope after the person with the impossibly close together eyes.

You've wondered why you can't drink distilled water in the lab - It should be clean?

People wearing shorts under a lab coat disturb you slightly as they look as though they might be naked underneath.

No matter what the timings in the experiment protocol there is always time for lunch in the middle.

You can no longer spell normal words but have no trouble with spelling things like immunohistochemistry or deoxyribonucleic acid.

You're slightly too fond of the smell of (pick one or many) Xylene/Agar/Ethanol/Alcoholic handwash.

You have made some kind of puppet out of a nitrile glove and kept it as a pet.

You've removed your gloves to find a small hole which has left you with either - wrinkly old person hands, a brightly coloured finger (histologists especially) or a burning sensation and dermatitis and some point.

When you rejoice when grabbing a handful of eppendorfs/bijous/anything and it turns outs to be the exact number you needed.

Your nose invariably itches when you're doing mucky stuff with your hands so you develop the habit of scratching it on your upper arm. Unfortunately you sometimes carry this habit over to real life, where it looks like you're sniffing your armpits.

When you start making patterns in your pipette tip box as you take the tips out.

You've seen how far away you can hit a target with a squirty water bottle or how far away from the bin you can fire pipette tips.

The fire alarm ceases to bug you. You only evacuate when you see the fire.

You open the toothpaste with one hand.

When you hear tween, you think of the surfactant not the age group.

For you, media is something which increases your culture.

Sometimes you momentarily vanish from social activities because of a time point.

You flinch when you hear the word "significant".

You're very good at diluting things.

You're also very good at transferring small amounts of liquid between containers.

You are fed up with people saying alcohol, when they mean ethanol.

No one in your family has any idea what you do.

You refer to your children as the F1.

You've used Kimwipes as Kleenex.

A timer clipped to the hip is not only practical, but dead sexy.

You think the following is a quality insult: "I've seen cells more competent than you!".

wahahaha.

sigh Liverpool's out of the Champion's League :(( but at least we didn't leave without putting up a good fight :) we made Chelsea sweat! woohoo!

it's pretty unsettling how i keep referring to Liverpool as 'we'. hahaha. i think i'm obsessed.

---

Heroes Season 3 is ending it's run soon :( last episode next week i think! sighhh.

---

i think this period between poster presentation and thesis submission is the most shiok period of my entire 4th year.

i suddenly have alot of time on my hands! lol. yayyy to short-lived happiness :)) it's still happiness after all, no matter how fleeting it is!

2009-04-13T21:54:00.002+08:00

off for a dose of Desperate Housewives! :)

2009-04-12T16:11:00.006+08:00

so cute hor?? :)) -swoooooon-

---

was talking to kl yesterday about how life suddenly lacked a "purpose", now that lab is finally over. weird feeling, really. it's like, when we were slogging our guts out we couldn't wait for lab to be over, and now when it's finally over and done with, we feel kinda...lost.

i guess that NOT waking up and thinking about how many Western Blots i need to do for that particular day still needs some getting used to. lol.

but i'm happy, nonetheless :) despite getting out of MPSH1 pretty beaten on poster day.

oh well, 5 days to thesis submission!!

and here's to the handful of people who made my one year in lab a more bearable experience :) thank you thank you thank you! am glad the anti-social me was able to make some friends after all. heh.

anws i was reading the thesis guidelines and this is damn funny!

Acknowledgements
This section usually consists of a single paragraph of thanks to the supervisor and other academic or technical staff, colleges and institutions for ideas, advice, criticisms, facilities, services, etc. Contrary to common practice, this is not a place to ‘let your hair down’: you are not allowed to acknowledge your pets, religious leaders, and so on; and avoid expression of excessive gratitude to your supervisor, or anyone else.

hahahaha.

---

this is pretty embarrassing, but it makes me happy :) and things that make me happy deserve some space on my blog :) haha! here's the bf and i being stupid in front of his webcam quite some time ago. hahaha. self-entertainment to the max.

---

my blog template is getting on my nerves. i wanna change my layout but am lazy to!! being the html-idiot and all.

and randomly, my dad's started listening to Jason Mraz! wahahaha hilarious. ever since he watched him perform at the Nobel Peace Prize concert on tv :D

//edit: my dad just came into my room and asked, "why Jason sing so fast one??" wahaha i didn't know how to answer him.

2009-04-02T23:47:00.004+08:00

it's kinda sad how nearly one year of hard work in the lab just simply boils down to how well you fare in a 3-hour poster presentation and how well you write/smoke a 15,000-word thesis (erm, 8000 in my case. lol).

no one knows the effort put into it. no one knows the early mornings and the late nights. no one knows the hours spent agonizing over failed experiments. no one knows the stress, the sweat and the tears. no one, but your lab mates and your friends in the same sad sad situation. if our FYP grades were determined by all these, we'd all get A+.

7 days to poster presentation, 15 days to thesis submission, and all this crap will be OVER.

---

am totally freaking out cos there's a high chance i'll kena the worst ever combi of examiners for poster day: chris chen and gavin dawe.

:((((((

2009-03-27T00:48:00.001+08:00

thank goodness...

for chocolates in the fridge.

for ice-cream in the freezer.

for helpful seniors when you're down and out in the lab.

for the bf who makes me smile with his crappy smses (like for example "Ahpooi misses me.. help me tell her i'll be busy this week and i miss her!")

for adorable hamsters i come home to everyday.

for friends who genuinely care.

for conversations with mum in the car.

for soccer matches/Heroes/~~Kris Allen~~ American Idol/Desperate Housewives every week.

for long MSN conversations.

for happy endings :)

...if not, i'd have broken down i-dunno-how-many times in this disgusting period of my undergraduate life.

2009-03-24T23:52:00.004+08:00

i like working on my thesis at the dining table. cos it's big enough to spread out all my papers so that they're easy to find, and it's nice listening to the sounds of the tv in the living room. and from where i'm sitting i can see Ahpooi's and Eda's cages. and oh, there's food within 1.5 metres :)

had a lab meeting with Dr Bian's lab this morning. all those nervessss. i seriously need to get over my fear of presentations. anws to my dismay i need to do another experiment :( i happily thought that today was going to be my last day in lab. and i have to remove one of my results from my thesis cos it's not concrete enough for a paper :( sian.

and i think there's another lab meeting with Prof Wong next week and then it's poster presentation the week after next. i'm freaking out as i type this.

i can hear the hamsters running in their wheels from here and it makes me happy :) (yes i'm weird, thankyouverymuch.)

anws i never thought a Miley Cyrus song will ever get featured in my blog, but i like this one! just don't watch the music video (it's super cringe-worthy). haha!

ANW i'm feeling very bo liao now (and sick of thesis-ing), and since i wanted to post this some time ago, here it is:

The nucleus incertus consists of a group of cells forming a small nucleus located in the caudoventral regions of the pontine periventricular gray, adjacent to the ventromedial border of the caudal dorsal tegmental nucleus.

is that even english?? hahaha. that's from sab's thesis intro btw. i'm suddenly very glad that i'm doing an in vitro project on stroke, cos the most cheem words that can come out of it is... cerebral ischemia. wahaha.

the newspaper mentioned that Liverpool'll be playing in Singapore on the 26th of July! but it's not official yet i guess. i can just die of excitement right now :))

i'm already starting to miss school. a little more than a month from now i'll be sitting for the last examination paper of my life. scary stuff. oh wells. maybe life will take me overseas to study for my dream. you'll never know :)

favourite Jason Mraz song of the moment: Plane :)) so i don't care i'm putting it here again! :p

2009-03-20T15:56:00.004+08:00

random pictures from the phone :)

Xiaopang the carpet.

Ahpooi resting on her laurels.

Rhino resting on his... bum.

Eda :) the male hammie with the girly name. long story.

Ahpooi :)

the vulgarity-spewing bf. note the sian diao face. HAHA.

mum's hilarious-looking bedroom slippers.

Kembangan at sundown.

what life scientists do to make the lab a happier place to be in - take pipette tips in an order such that they form a shape :p

and yes, those were the western blot days when i got so bored in lab i whip out my phone to take pictures during waiting time.

spotted at the lab bench next to ours. funny!!

ben bears :)

flowers :) wrong focus though :S

heart shapes on the floor outside the Esplanade on vday. (now you know how long ago some of these photos are. hahaha.)

sunrise! (somewhat.)

stuff like this spotted anywhere often warrants frantic photo-taking by yours truly :D

ok too many photos! good night :)

2009-03-15T21:02:00.005+08:00

these few days have been the first time i actually sat down to study ever since the exams ended last semester, and boy does it feel good :)) i may sound bonkers to you, but trust me, anything that gives me an excuse to get away from all things FYP is a good thing (CAs included).

and after witnessing a series of unexpected events unfold on tv last night, i suddenly have this renewed vigour to study harder! hehhh.

anws my dad just changed the SCV set top box to the HD one for just 2 bucks! and OMG (sorry to sound so suaku) everything was so clear!! LOL. for the first time in my life i actually could see the numbers on the soccer players' shirts from damn far away! lolll. (and i was able to look at the marks on Gerrard's face in their full glory upon close-up too.) HEH. so exciting :)) now there's one more excuse to watch tv. i hope my dad subscribes to the HD versions of Nat Geo etc soon. too bad they only show selective soccer matches in HD :(

ok shall go back to randomized controlled trials and institutional review boards now :S i actually quite like clinical trials :) just that the notes suck so bad.

2009-03-11T00:08:00.001+08:00

sometimes i think i have a very minor form of bipolar disorder. i can be happy one moment and suddenly moody the next, and it's manifesting itself more frequently these days. thankfully it doesn't happen in front of other people too often, but sometimes that's a bad thing. cos when i experience a sudden bout of moodiness i feel lonelier than ever.

i think the stress is starting to get to me. it's about time, really.

randomly, sometimes i envy people who have the road ahead nicely paved for them to walk on. living their perfect lives. being totally oblivious to things that are causes of worry for people who are not as lucky as they are.

i wonder if i'm able to wake up later for the big match. i should sleep now, then :)

2009-03-08T00:24:00.003+08:00

:)))))))))))))))))

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!!! -major hyperventilation-

Mr. Curiosity

I'm Yours

Beautiful Mess

Live High

The Remedy + Wonderwall

these weren't taken by us obviously (we weren't so near! but still very near :)) hehe lucky us!), but i just can't wait any longer wahaha. am lazy to upload the bf's vids onto youtube anw :p

sab you can ogle at your fave part of his body (that's QUOTE nicer than John Terry's QUOTE) in most of these vids! HAHA. omg i can't believe i just typed that.

whee! i'm still pretty high :)) we rubbed shoulders and took photos with Toca Rivera (Jason's back-up singer and percussionist) outside the stadium! too bad we didn't take photos with the rest of his band :(( they were just there! standing right in front of us! GOSH what were we thinking :((( Mr. A-Z himself wasn't there of course, he'd be MOBBED.

---

i think i'll really miss my lab when i'm gone :(( i wonder if there'll be another time we can play Mafia and do stupid things in the staff lounge together before i leave the lab for good :( i don't think any of the lab peeps know how much i appreciate them just being there when i'm feeling damn bloody stressed over experiments and feeling sick of FYP in general. just their presence in the lab doing their own experiments makes me feel better, cos i know i'm not alone. and this is mostly why i hate going to lab on weekends. anws the other 3 Honours students are done with their experiments except me so i hardly see them anymore. damn fast can!!

anws my thesis intro is damn short :(( can die. results next! sian. must tidy up and make all the graphs sui sui first. just thinking of the weeks to come (presentations and a test coming up) makes me sick in the stomach. i'm like super detached from the modules i'm taking cos it's lab lab lab full time.

---

the bf and i were just reminiscing about the toys we played and the candies we ate when we were young kids. lol! i remember pick-up sticks and eraser soccer :) and some game with marbles. and potong ice-cream and lollipops.

ooh and i suddenly remember hopscotch every recess time during the stnicks primary days. how we cheonged to chope the hopscotch, and how we used our wallets and name tags as the "stones". and i remember how sticker collections were damn important in those days. LOL.

those were the days huh :) it's strange how vividly i remember these little things.

2009-03-06T00:53:00.001+08:00

i'm sitting here waiting for my hair to dry, listening to Mr. Curiosity on repeat (and still marvelling at the opera-singing which i always thought was the music until tonight OMGGG), and thinking to myself:

i'm.

so.

in love.

with.

Jason.

all-about-the-wordplay.

Mraz.

:)))))

full stop.

and then reality slaps me in the face. tomorrow it's back to the humdrum of ~~school~~ lab and never-ending deadlines. there's nothing to look forward to anymore :(

ok scratch that, i'm looking forward to getting all the Mraz videos from the rest and watching them over and over again :)) hehe.

will post vids soon! promise!

2009-02-28T15:50:00.002+08:00

the epitome of Mraz-greatness:

just the voice. and the guitar. just takin' it easy, living high :)

---

today was supposed to be a full day of lab but i was struck with this sudden wave of SIAN-NESS halfway through and so i threw back my samples into -80 degrees and the newly-casted gel into -20 and went home, not caring anymore.

and THIS, my friend, is the reason why i absolutely can't do research as a career in future.

i'll probably regret it when Monday comes but i just couldn't take it any longer at that point in time. anws i have another lab meeting with Prof Wong coming thursday. i dunno if it's a good thing that i have to report to two bosses. twice the amount of lab meetings, twice the amount of scrutinization, twice the amount of stress. and no, it doesn't automatically equate to twice the amount of quality in my thesis.

2009-02-26T22:43:00.006+08:00

I MUST COMPLAINNNNN.

the bf is evil.

he was playing L4D right beside me so i can't read my never-ending journals in peace cos i kept wanting to look at his screen. boomer boomer!!

and now he's busy playing dota and talking to himself. (actually he's talking to fridge and ziyang using... Skype i think. with earphones) what talking you?? what mask of madness?? what stealth this stealth that?? what quarter star??

can you play L4D so that i can at least understand what you're doing!

and now he has stopped playing cos he got disconnected!! -cue evil laughter- wahahahaha.

OH i must complain summore. he said that i look like the witch in L4D! :(((((((((( damn sad know. what kind of bf is this.

anw to add on to my very dismal night, A BABY LIZARD LANDED UP MY HEAD!!!! &$*#(@^%# i'm so damn traumatized. i'm seriously thinking of bathing again.

see la. another night to add on to the nights-where-i-can-actually-write-my-thesis-but-didn't-in-the-end.

i. must. stop. procrastinating. for. my. own. good.

anws my dad showed me this! nice :)

7 days to JASON MRAZ :))) ohmygosh i can't wait.

and yayyy Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture!

and YAYYYYY Liverpool 1-0 Real :D the papers said the match was at 2am and so i slept early and stupidly woke up at 2am only to find out that it was starting at 3:45am! so i set my alarm at 3:45am and when the time came i was too tired to get up :( but YAYYY! happiness :)) hehe. and they did it without Gerrard! they MUST stop being too dependent on him already. improving improving!

2009-02-22T00:50:00.002+08:00

i think i've lost all ability to write a paper. my brain just can't work properly! i find it damn hard to pick up relevant stuff from the 13748592 papers in front of me and paraphrase them nicely. zzzzz.

as requested by the relevant parties involved in getting me a precious ticket to see Jason Mraz live, thankyou sab!!! hahaha. (i owe you ice coffee!) n mike! n bb for getting a phone! :D wheeeee.

sorry for the incessant madness. hurhur.

went to watch the Social Work production Thesis: A Doublebill yesterday to support ql and eleen :) it sorta opened my eyes to certain things that i'm previously clueless about, so i think they achieved their aim of raising awareness i guess :)

and ohm's back in Beijing! :( for one year no less! sighhh.

oh yesterday there was a blackout on my level in CeLS and guess what, my gel was running halfway. -____- seriously sian half! sujing my lab friend was telling us (in the dark) about how her friend was centrifuging her samples halfway when the blackout occured (so it was quite a hilarious situation) and then i told her about my predicament and she couldn't stop laughing cos it was even funnier. so evil right omg. but i couldn't stop laughing also, actually. lol! but the gel turned out ok in the end so yayy :)

i've got some random photos to share but they're still in my phone so laters :) ya i know i said the same for some hamster videos a few weeks ago and i never got down to uploading them at all, so no promises there! wahaha.

2009-02-21T00:10:00.005+08:00

i'm going for Jason Mraz's concert!!!!!

:)))))))))))))))))))))))

all of a sudden nothing matters anymore and i don't even mind going to lab on a Saturday (the darkroom on Saturdays is scarier than usual, at least to me) and the world is a happier place to live in! :))

HAHAHA.

2009-02-18T23:47:00.000+08:00

it's a harsh world out there, and i guess all these experiences we have as we grow older make us all the more stronger. we just have to take it in our stride, stay true to ourselves, and at the end of it all, emerge out of it a stronger and better person.

here's to a few people close to my heart that are going through a rough patch and ain't having a good time, all i have to say is: stay strong! you'll get by :) -hugs- you know i'm here for you if you need me ya.

---

i really dunno how am i going to finish my experiments by the end of next week (my goal) :(( still not getting the frickin results that i want. it's getting really exasperating.

rawrrrrr. research is so not my cuppa tea.

---

the last guy on Americal Idol today gave me goosebumps! i forgot his name (is it Danny?). was typing the first paragraph of this entry and WOAH he sang what i was feeling at that exact moment lol.

2009-02-10T22:07:00.003+08:00

having been in my lab for a little more than half a year, i've kind of become more aware of what goes on "behind the scenes" in research. it's a pretty cruel world actually, where your lab's status is determined by the amount of grants you have i.e. how rich you are and how dua3 liap4 your lab is. it's infuriating how you just have to (as the guys would say) LL suck thumb and do what the "higher up" people tell you to do, even though you're absolutely boiling inside. but you can't do anything about it cos even your boss can't.

politics politics politics. even without stepping into the working world i'm already partially immersed in the bitterness of it all.

i'm quite glad that when all the changes take place i'd have already graduated.

having said that, i think i'll miss my lab big time when i finally do graduate :(( i tend to forget that i'm not actually part of this lab, but i see myself more as that than my actual supervisor's lab lol :p so yup, amidst all that complaining and whining at the very start of my FYP, i'm glad i ended up here after all.

and now i'm starting to really worry about getting a poor grade and disappointing boss :S die already. it's time i sit down and really get serious about writing my thesis. i'm already struggling at M&M! how to start intro like that :( hmmm maybe i'll do results after completing M&M, then i'll worry about intro. booo. how to get B+ liddat :(

and i haven't completed my experiments! i'm like overloading myself and overlapping my western blot days till i get super confused about what to do next lol! my western results suck, btw. damn irritating. and i must wrap up my stupid hypoxia experiments rahhhh. and i must start analyzing all my western data. sian. i so hate analyzing results cos i HATE stats.

ok enough of lab talk.

---

Desperate Housewives actually makes me cry sometimes. haha. i'm so hooked :) (even though i can't seem to remember all the characters' names after what, 4 seasons? haha yes sab, i know. lol!)

everyone around me is falling sick! just when i've recovered. bf is sick too! :( see la eat too much heaty stuff!

i can't taste things sometimes. and i don't have a flu or blocked nose or whatever! something's wrong with my tastebuds :S

reading the newspapers these days is getting a tad too depressing.

Brad Pitt in TCCO Benjamin Button reminds me of him in Meet Joe Black. i wanna watch Slumdog Millionaire and see what the hype is about haha.

i dreamt that we let the hamsters run freely in the house and they'd climb up to their cages when they want to sleep. my mum dreamt that all the hamsters escaped and we ran all around the house getting them back.

we learnt in Clinical Trials that the most common breed of dogs used in toxicity testing is the beagle :'((

i only just learnt how to play mahjong over the chinese new year. (the brother taught me when i was much younger but i forgot everything so that wasn't counted.) yes i'm a boring person. i don't know how to play lots of things.

i miss watching Liverpool's matches. the last time i watched them play was...... a week ago. hahaha!

have i mentioned that i have a pink Liverpool mug? :)) chio! it's funny how a few weeks back we went pass a pushcart selling soccer merchandise and i said if my mug broke i'll get a Liverpool mug, AND THEN one groggy morning a few days later i clumsily dropped my mug while getting it out of the microwave and it broke. it wasn't on purpose ok!!

k i can't think of anymore random things to write already haha.

2009-02-09T16:39:00.001+08:00

i've been playing too much these days.

i think it's the it's-my-final-few-months-as-a-student-so-lemme-enjoy-it-as-much-as-possible syndrome.

and i don't wanna get cured :))

---

Heroes Season 3 Part 2 and Lost Season 5 :)) wooooot. things to look forward to every week.

liverpool YAYYY! life rocks. haha. but my hero's out for 3 weeks cos of hamstring injury :( hurry up get well!! meanwhile i hope they can tahan till he gets well and Torres gets fit enough for a full 90 minutes.

i'm pretty hooked on L4D. hahaha. getting a kick out of killing them zombies keeps your mind out of other things. my first ever attempt at first-person shooting games, so not that bad la hor. i'm still working on coordinating my movements LOL, especially when i'm one of the Special Infected. i suck at being them!

ok it's time to go home! (from lab.)

happy yuan2 xiao1 jie2 everyone :)

2009-01-30T23:15:00.003+08:00

my new favourite song that i have to listen to every night before i sleep :) it pretty much soothes my soul. HAHA. it reminds me not to worry about all the little things and to leave bad memories behind and not to cling on to things that are not worth clinging on to, and yes, everything will be fine in the end :) ok that was a long sentence lol.

Jason Mraz ft. James Morrison's Details in the Fabric

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own)
Are the things that make you panic (Know your name)
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own)
Are the things that make you panic (Know your name)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine? (Go your own way)

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own)
Hell no reason go on and scream (Know your name)
If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Jason Mraz is a genius. tell me again why aren't i going to his concert? :'((

2009-01-28T16:39:00.008+08:00

i'm not gonna start off my entry with "happy cny!!" cos it isn't a very happy one for me :S am sickkkkk. like totally. i'm coughing and wheezing like no one's business, and plus i just recovered from fever that was on-off starting from CNY eve. and to top it all off, some idiot added ethanol into the tray meant for water in our lab's incubator resulting in ALL our cells dying. like every single frickin cell in every single frickin flask in the incubator is dead. gone. zilch. and i'm the hardest hit of all in my lab cos my project's totally dependent on my cells (other peeps have animal work and stuff), so... what a great start to the new year.

who in the right mind will put ethanol into the water??? walaoehhhhh. luckily i still have samples that i froze for Western Blot! zzz. or else i won't have any experiments to do. and i have to grow my cells all over again. i'm frickin irritated, as you can prolly tell.

and i'm coughing like an old hag as i type this.

MAYBE cos of all these bad luck, my luck will turn and i'll win big bucks during ban lak over the coming weekend. HA.

anws i've came up with my top 5 favourite CNY goodies:

5. bakkwa
4. kueh bulu
3. kueh bangkit
2. keropok (prawn)
1. keropok (the bitter kind)

i'm drooling all over the laptop amidst all the coughing as i type this.

ok i should hibernate so i can get well enough for a bbq on Friday (i highly doubt i'll be well by then, but a girl can hope can't she) and a girls' day ~~out~~ in on Saturday :)) OH! and ban lak with the family :D and i wanna go see the boys play LAN tomorrow :(( sigh. there's some ghost game i wanna see!

(i dunno if it's still on, but i secretly wish the bf will say that he's not going tmr and is gonna pei me at home instead. haha.)

AHEM.

(haha)

and my fave Mraz song :))

(ya i know i posted this before but i'm still lovin' it. alot.)

oh well, shall patiently wait for him to come over to Singapore again in a few years time :( lol.

should've booked like the first day it opened :((((((((((((((((((((((((

The Declaration of Independence states that 'All men are created equal'. No matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words.

It takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.

If I turned around every time somebody called me a f*ggot, I'd be walking backward - and I don't want to walk backward.

I know that you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living.

George Michael's Praying for Time

/It's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much too late
Well maybe we should all be
Praying for time
Do you think we have time
Do you think we have time
Please give us time.../

you know you've made it big time when you're able to make people cry while listening to you perform. haha.

and you know you're gonna make it big some day (if not already) when you make people get goosebumps while listening to you sing acapella :))

David Archuleta's I'll Be

2009-01-08T23:53:00.002+08:00

school is starting in 4 days. my last semester as an NUS undergrad. it's scary how time flies, and it's pretty scary when you go out with a bunch of people and 3 quarts of the group is already working.

and i'm still nowhere near finding out what i want to do after i graduate. i really ought to start sourcing overseas unis, but something keeps telling me not to and to just focus on what's right infront of me now (read: FYP and last semester) and just see where life takes me. like i don't have enough worries already.

lab meeting was a damn scary affair. the presentation itself was fine, it was the Q&A after that which was totally nerve-wrecking. it's a good thing to have lab meetings actually, cos it's really a good prep for the real thing in April (or is it end of March?? OMG). and i'm really thankful for helpful seniors :) anw Bian has never had an Honours student who had less than a B+ for his/her FYP :( stress lor!! i don't want to be the first :(( summore i'm not exactly under him! zzz.

but all things aside, the inertia to start my thesis proper (lit review omggg siannnn) is the HUGEST i've ever encountered in the 22 years of my life.

so many nice movies coming up, so little time!

this seems like a pretty depressing post! lol. i've already told myself that this is the last week of my rather non-existent holidays so i better enjoy it to the max. and i did, so far :) amidst western blots and all. haha. and i'm so gonna enjoy fri sat and sun toooo!! although sunday is spring cleaning day as announced by my mum lol!

modules for the final semester:
LSM4221 Drug discovery and clinical trials
LSM4224 Free radicals and antioxidant biology

min bid was 2000 points for free rad! craziness!!

i'm kinda hooked on Okto :) do check out the 10pm slots especially. interesting documentaries! and i miss Heroes :(( february can't come fast enough! (but then again, i don't want feb to come so soon cos it means thesis submission and poster presentation's looming ahead :S)

and Gerrard :(( old news already, but i haven't blogged about it so i just have to! he's still my biggest hero no matter what :)) woooooot. really hope he'll be clear of all charges! but hard to say :( boooo.

anws ManU vs Chelsea on sunday! woooot. they better draw! i don't want Chelsea to win cos they're vying for top of the table with Liverpool, but at the same time i don't want ManU to win JUST BECAUSE. hahaha. so they better draw. hehh.

ok sleep time :) early day tomorrow! i have loads of hamster videos to share but i'm lazy to upload! another day another day :))

2009-01-02T23:16:00.003+08:00

happy new year everyone!

here's wishing that 2009 will be a better year for all of us :)

it'll be a pretty significant year when i look back 10 years down the road, cos 2009 will be a year of uncertainty, decisions to be made, dreams (or not) to be fulfilled, and the very beginning of the future that is to come.

come what may, i hope it'll be a great year ahead.

2008-12-20T15:07:00.006+08:00

and so i turned twenty-two a few days back. it didn't exactly feel like it was my birthday cos it was the first time in my life i had to go to school on my birthday. but oh wells. a huge thank you to the people who made me feel loved :) especially to one silly boy (who ruined a surprise plan HAHA!) :p

thank you too, to the people who remembered! yayy :)

FYP gave me a birthday present as well cos i finally obtained my first ever Western Blot result on that day! :) haha. over-exposed and with too much background, but i finally saw bands and i was too happy to care!

this is what one-year-old helium balloons look like as compared to their heyday. lol!

anws i realize that the older i get, the easier and more frequently i get pissed off. i was on the verge of giving this certain irritating piece of shit a TIGHT SLAP yesterday. i dunno how long i can tahan already. breathe in, breathe out. 4 more months. hang in there, ts, hang in there.

off to happier things:

ohm i've finally found the Precious Moments! hahaha. NAH let you see. hang in there ok 27 days to home!! -hugs-

a rather hilarious (but true. at least to me :p) quote found at Courts. ya, it's where i saw my dream bedroom hurhur.

and since it's the Christmas season, here's a riddle sab asked us some time back:

What does an English teacher call Santa's little helpers?
Ans: Subordinate clauses.

:) cute rite??

Taylor Swift's White horse

it's pretty exciting that i finally know what i want to be in the future. it's difficult i know, and i probably will end up disappointed, and who knows if my dream will change in the following months, but at least now i can see a tiny glimpse of my future :) but for now let me just concentrate on getting a decent grade for my FYP (tough tough tough) and buck up for my last two modules next semester.

ok i'm supposed to be doing up my slides for lab meeting so i better go back to that :( it's been postponed to 30th btw! so at least it won't be a double whammy on the 23rd (results release PLUS lab presentation). sucks.

zoo tomorrow! if the weather permits :S i can never get sick of the zoo :)) woooot.

2008-12-13T23:25:00.005+08:00

WALAOEHHHHHHHHH.

what's wrong with Liverpooooooooool??????

omgomgomgomgomgomg.

you better win!!!!!!!!!!

what's with Carragher and his tendency for own goals :((

(first of many weekly scoldings.)

---
Gerrard is my hero :)))))))))))

---
why Liverpool whyyyyy :((

sorry ah, this entry is solely me talking to myself while refreshing livescore.com every 5 minutes. please ignore this entry and pretend that i'm still sane.

---
since this is an entry dedicated to Liverpool (on form or off), lemme show you my dream room :))

spent like 20 minutes there taking pictures like a lunatic HAHA.

2008-12-11T23:30:00.003+08:00

in point form (i love writing like this hehh):

- had the worst exams ever in my NUS life. screwed up Tumour real bad :(
- FYP sucks. starting to go lab super early and leave lab when sun's down, all cos of stupid Western Blot.
- hamster dad has a new name: Rhino! cos he looks exactly like the Rhino below :))

- i cut my hair! i have a fringe now and i'm starting to like it.
- i heart Little Nyonya even though it's getting increasingly far-fetched. Channel 8 dramas, what's new. is super shuai btw!! swoooon. too bad he died so early in the show :((
- i don't like the christmas deco this year.
- i'm frickin stressed. over loads of stuff.
- to graduate or not to graduate, to apply or not to apply, to further or not to further, those are the questions.
- i miss the woman in Beijing.
- i really really really really heart Heroes :))
- made chocolate cheesecake with the bf! put too much chocolate, ended up becoming a chocolate cake without the cheese instead.
- lab presentation on the 23rd. DAMNNN scared. attending other lab presentations by the other FYP students make me stressed like HELL.
- footytube.com is my best friend. cos poor me is soooo deprived of soccer action.
- i miss school holidays that are really holidays. no worrying about this and that. meeting up with friends in the DAY, not at night after a sickening day in the lab. exploring the nooks and crannies of Singapore with the bf. i guess these holidays are no more huh :(

2008-12-06T23:52:00.004+08:00

can someone tell me what's wrong with Liverpool?? what's wrong????

so exasperating!!!

:'(((

we're so totally dependent on Torres for goals :(( cryyyyyy.

refreshing livescore.com is equivalent to checking exam results. to me at least. lol.

---

/edit: i ought to delete this post huh. wahahaha. i know already! every single week i have to scold Liverpool on my blog, then they'll buck up and win :)))

wahlao. damn stressful know! LOL. my heart cannot take this any longer.

2008-11-12T01:12:00.003+08:00

Reasons why Ahpooi is the funniest (and hence the cutest) hamster ever:

1. she loves to sleep/stone on top of the wheel.
2. she runs on the wheel and (i dunno how this can ever happen) causes the wheel to unhinge from the cage bar and drop. four times already!
3. she lovessss sunflower seeds like there's no tomorrow. sunflower seeds are very useful as bait when you wanna lure hammies like Ahpooi out of their cages.
4. whenever her foodbowl is refilled she rummages through it and stores every single sunflower seed in her pouch.
5. she can crack open a sunflower seed and store the shelled seed in her pouch in a record time of 5 seconds.
6. she does practically everything while lying on her back with legs in the air. i wonder how she can eat like that without choking.
7. she moves all the small seeds from the foodbowl into the hippo and uses them as bedding in addition to the normal bedding.
8. she managed to open her own cage door in the middle of the night and escaped, causing a frenzy in the household early the next morning, to be found in the kitchen (cage is in living room and is elevated) thirsty and... cute.
9. she seldom bites the bars of her cage, but the one time she did, she managed to get her tooth STUCK, subsequently requiring a 30-minute rescue-Ahpooi-operation by the brother and his gf.
10. she loves sitting on her butt and whenever you approach the cage and if her back is facing you, she turns her head nearly 180 degrees and looks at you (butt still in same position).
11. she loves to stone while sitting on her butt. she can just remain in that position for a damn long time. i always wonder what she's thinking about when she's stoning.
12. she always pees at the exact same place in her cage (behind the hippo), and she SLEEPS there sometimes. legs in the air, of course.

if it's not obvious enough, i heart Ahpooi much much :))

sunset :) at ECP.

jay got us hooked on zahada, and boy am i HOOKED! i'm currently stuck at level 35 and i'm sooo exasperated!! and i had to resort to googling the answer to get past level 34 after like soo long damn idiotic. hahaha. bf's not at all interested in zahada so i'm all alone in this :(( booo! and you know you're SO hooked when you finally stay for the whole duration of stats lecture... playing zahada. LOL. and in sab and jay's case, getting a headache from playing too much lol!

Liverpool vs Chelsea tonight! EPIC! am excited, but 99% of me knows that i'll get home disappointed tonight :( lol.

it's funny to see how the bf can strike up a conversation with a fellow Man U fan after knowing him for just 1 second. lol! the power of football hahaha.

you're the sweetest! thank you for everything :))

2008-10-22T22:06:00.007+08:00

STRESS!!

meeting Prof Wong (aka my actual supervisor aka big boss) on Friday and i didn't know it's going to be a presentation kind of meeting! omgomg. i thought it'll be like the usual relak one-to-one kind i always have with Dr Bian! omgomg.

siannn. 2 days to gather and rearrange and tidy up everything and put them together into some form of ppt presentation. stress!

actually in a twisted sort of way it's good cos i have another presentation meeting in Dec with Bian's lab (i think that one'll be much scarier cos more people'll be present and confirm will kena arrowed lots of questions), so this is...warm up? :S

suckssssssssss.

am taking a break from the 10,000 Excel files in my computer (i've come to a realization that i'm a DAMN disorganized person omgg) and that's why i'm here blogging.

i finally feel like i belong in my lab :) pretty late to realize that now, but it's better late then never rite! haha.

anws i've been really into Jason Mraz's Love for a Child lately. apart from Beautiful Mess and 稻香 which is totally on repeat on my comp haha.

it's about his troubled childhood :(

OH and randomly, i heart Zachary Quinto! he's so gonna replace Milo V as my fave actor in Heroes hurhur :))) swoooooon.

"We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found."
-Cecilia Ahern's A Place Called Here

okok. back to Excel! FOCUS FOCUS!!

2008-10-21T00:19:00.006+08:00

David A's album coming out Nov 17th (i think)! can't wait :p hurhur.

it's good that i suddenly have loads of smileys in my post HAHA.

i really wanna start on gossip girl (ya i'm slowww) but the rational side of me tells me not to cos i'll be HOOKED and it'll suck cos exams are coming.

there's this lab bbq coming saturday. don't feel like going even though i already agreed lol. the anti-social me is at work again hehh.

oh i was listening to the muttons on 98.7 some time back and they always have this segment on who can insult the other better, and there was one that said:

"You're so stupid that when Sylar cut open your brain he died."

LOL!

ok sleep time!

2008-10-11T01:39:00.005+08:00

Jason Mraz's Beautiful Mess live

he's soo amazing live :)) loves it! i blast the volume and get goosebumps from around 3:30-ish onwards. HAHA.

2008-10-09T01:15:00.003+08:00

no one told me Year 4 would be this tough.

rawrrrrrrrr.

the lounge in CeLS has become our favourite hangout for chionging work. and it gets too comfy for good sometimes.

anws was researching on food and drug interactions for pharmacogen presentation and i came across this website which i find pretty interesting! lol.

it has finally dawned on me that i'm a true blue pharmacology person. haha. i like pharmaco! well, there must be some reason why i'm doing a pharmaco FYP rite. except that i'm always in the process of tearing my hair out whenever i'm in the lab.

2008-10-04T21:43:00.005+08:00

stressed over FYP.

stressed over tons and tons of assignments.

this song is on repeat mode on my lappie/in my head.

Heroes provides an escape from reality for 45 minutes. how i love those 45 minutes.

tomorrow will be the first time in many many years i won't get to eat yummy Malay food prepared by the neighbours for lunch, cos you know why? i'll be in the frickin lab, inhaling hydrogen sulphide, freezing my ass off and feeling sorry for myself.

2008-09-27T23:38:00.002+08:00

we got lucky and managed to snag a pair of F1 tickets (family friend's lobang), so the brother and i went, and i pretty much had the experience of a lifetime :)

i knew zilch about F1 before last night (i asked my dad, "there's Schumacher rite?"), and i still know zilch now, but i LOVED it. the atmosphere, the fast cars, the deafening roar of the engines even with ear plugs on, and the S'pore skyline providing an awesome backdrop as those pretty things whizzed by in a flash. we could hear them miles away even before we saw them.

who cares if it was just the practice session and not the real deal, it was enough for me :)

---

yum. today's the parents' 27th wedding anniversary and i happily tagged along for dinner :p

pigging out is good for the tired soul :) yesterday at the GP i finally satisfied my cravings for hokkien mee. wooot. overpriced, mass-cooked, and a tad watery, but i was too hungry to care.

and it's pigging out again tomorrow! i love :D

and the long-awaited Heroes Season 3 is out :))) just watched the premiere which consists of 2 episodes straight! looking forward once again to weekly doses of Heroes ~~and Milo V~~ :p although i don't like Peter-from-the future cos he looks.. sinister. lol.

Liverpool won the derby tonight!! yayness.

2008-09-24T22:34:00.002+08:00

barrage of videos and a few random peektures:

"The artist with no eyes"

this vid will leave your mouth hanging open.

and this! finally the full version of Imagine :))

goosebumps goosebumps. in a good way :)

Slipping Through My Fingers - my fave song from Mama Mia!

it's my fave scene too, but too bad i can only find this short part of it on youtube.

sunset :) while walking home one day..

i heart desserts! (and the someone i pig out with hehe.)

upside down caution sign in the MRT lol.

---

have been keepin busy with lab doing a brand new experiment. failed the first time, but at least i'm learning as i go along. note to self: must maintain such attitude!

one of my lab seniors (Man U fan.. boring!) has resorted to forcing me into saying that Liverpool sucks whenever i approach him with my queries, or else he refuses to teach me stuff. evilness. i called him a sore loser :D

on a different note, today i was talking to the same senior about fulfilling one's dreams, and i left the conversation pretty much 'inspired'. some things are attainable, no matter how hard and long the road is towards them. it all depends on how much you want it.

i think the one thing that's preventing me from reaching out for what i want, is my fear that i can't get it. i doubt myself most of the time. i don't think i'm good enough.

it's time i start to seriously think about what i want out of life. and it's time i start believing in myself.

2008-09-20T00:23:00.002+08:00

sem break:

= focus on lab
= stress

= dumb lab seminars
= waste time
= more difficult to plan experiments
= more stress

= catch up on reading overdue lecture notes + do assignments
= even more stress

= bf in Taiwan again
= sian

= infinite stress + sian

:(

sem break? what sem break?

Secondhand Serenade writes the most heartbreaking lyrics! that's prolly why i love his songs so :) lol.

2008-09-11T23:52:00.002+08:00

Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's Lucky

happy feel-good song of the mo! "I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend" :)

anws Jason Mraz looks exactly like Hugh Grant in the first picture lol.

lab is stressing me outtttt. so so so many things to do, so many things to learn, so many things to find out :(( sometimes i wish i have a senior in lab whom i'm directly working under, so he/she's assigned to help me out. sigh. i do have really helpful seniors in lab now, but all of them have their own projects to worry about, projects that are very different from mine, so sometimes i feel damn bad that i have to thick skin-ly ask them for their time. zzz.

and like right now, i'm having problems with my hypoxia reactions but i have no one to turn to cos i'm the only one in the lab who uses the chamber. damn sucky leh. even the prof isn't sure how to use it!

and i hate hate hate CAs with negative marking!! @%!*&^!$% the other day we were all discussing how it's possible to get -100 for the test and how it's exactly 200 marks lower than the maximum score and how we can just forgo the test and get zero marks AND possibly still be higher than a percentage of the cohort and we ended cracking up cos the thought is damn funny! although it's so not funny i know :S

and yayy the bf has finally gotten his life back now that his design project is over and done with :) good for him! (and me as well hehh!)

2008-09-09T22:46:00.002+08:00

a vid of my hamsters, cos i love them so :)

in order of appearance: eda, xiaopang, ahpooi, hamster dad, hamster mum.

and here's ahpooi, generally feeling at peace with the world :)) HAHA.

2008-09-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

i have a love-hate relationship with Changi Airport.

i love the airport because going there equals going on holiday. i love the smell of the airport when i push the luggage trolley and enter the departure hall; the excitement of throwing everything behind and discovering yet more corners of the world. i love exploring the transit area, using the free payphones and grabbing a bite before boarding. i love planes; window seats and looking at clouds beneath my feet. i love the exhilaration of taking off. i love watching movies up in the air, knowing that in a matter of hours i'll be stepping on foreign soil.

i love the airport too, because it is where i spend hours mugging for various exams throughout the years. i guess i should correct this heh. i don't love the airport for the mugging, but i love how it brings respite from the books and notes whenever i feel like it, cos food is within reach, and the viewing gallery is just a walk away.

i love the airport, because it's another place to hang out in boring Singapore. i love looking at planes on the runway. i love watching planes take off. i love walking around aimlessly and watch people go by. i love the first scene of Love Actually, that warm fuzzy feeling :)

there are so many reasons why i love Changi Airport, but the one reason why i hate it overrides everything.

i hate the airport, because it's a place for goodbyes. :((

take care hor!! although you won't be able to see this lol stupid ban. see you again in January :)

2 long years. in 2 years time, when ohm finally comes back for good, i wonder where i will be in life.

---

in other news, i finally exercised after goodness knows how long! jogged 4 rounds round the track today. i already wanted to die by the second round lol. stitches were killing me. but the adrenaline rush was worth it :) i need more exercise man.

and i'm bloody stressed! what's new :(( ok pharmacogen here i come :(

2008-08-29T00:26:00.003+08:00

Secondhand Serenade is DOPE.

:))

i can listen to him all night.

Your Call

Why

I Hate This Song (no i don't! but that's the title loll)

wiki says:
"The pseudonym Secondhand Serenade is a reference to the way in which his songs are 'serenades' sung to his wife. People around the world are merely getting to hear the songs 'second-hand'."

aww.

2008-08-23T00:05:00.003+08:00

Zhang Yining is officially my new sports hero! :) i just can't help but put down everything i'm doing and STARE at the tv screen whenever she plays. her pingpong is... ART. like no other. :) haha.

i'd been seriously down in the dumps in lab the early part of this week but things are better now. i actually nearly teared with joy this morning when i saw my beautiful cells finally alive and well under the microscope. HAHA.

and it's pretty fun now that i get the hang of using the hypoxia chamber. my lab peeps call it a UFO haha.

omg. i eat, sleep and breathe SH-SY5Y cells now. they're like my life. it's amazing how my mood changes according to how my cells are doing.

that is SO not a happy thought.

you know how something (read: lab) is taking over your life when all you can blog about is that something. haha.

i'm still surviving trying to plan my time well between going to lab and going for lectures. marked improvement this week, cos i didn't miss a single lecture! woot. i love being a geek :D haha. i hate missing this sem's lectures cos they're cheem especially pharmacogen OMG. i can afford to miss stats though, cos it's like no point going cos i don't understand the lecturer's accent at all and he mumbles to himself most of the time.

my dad and bro're leaving on a jet plane to Adelaide now as i'm typing this. i wanna go on a holiday too!! :( zzz.

2008-08-19T23:40:00.005+08:00

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, baby
And everything's alright,
Everything's alright
And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it,
'Cause you're here with me now

:)

2008-08-15T23:24:00.002+08:00

watching the repeat of the table-tennis semis now! whee! it's still damn exciting even though we all know the end score already lol.

Honours year is slowly taking a toll on me, and it's only the end of the first week! like omg. :(

i had a total of 7 lectures this week, of which i missed one, left early for two, and went late for two, all because of lab. i wonder what's gonna become of me when all the assignments and presentations come along.

and i just came back from yet another futile 8am-10pm day in the lab.

i wonder why so many others seem to have it so easy :( i'm so not cut out for this.

and the modules this sem! omg. Year 3 seems like a walk in the park compared to now can. :(

zzz. i shall concentrate on the pingpong now and not think about anything else. i actually kind of love table-tennis, even though i suck at it. i wonder why i didn't appreciate it this much back in secondary school. lol!

---

the difference between a mum and a dad:

me with a bag of chips: wah very nice! going to finish already leh...
mum: CANNOT EAT ALREADY!! put back!

me with a bag of chips: wah very nice! going to finish already leh...
dad: finish it lor... -walks away-

haha. okok back to pingpong :) second last set now!

2008-08-11T21:38:00.003+08:00

must blog about this cos it's a significant event in my life!

Pathology -- my first ever R21 movie. hahaha. (Brokeback wasn't counted cos i wasn't legal yet and we only watched snippets in ohm's hall LOL.)

it was... disturbing, with lack of a better word. i was cringing like crazy towards the end of it haha. i kinda like the show, cos it makes you think long after it ends, and you get goosebumps the more you think about it. lol. but ya, it was pretty disturbing.

there was this woman sitting beside me in the theatre who was actually having her DINNER while watching the show. i was wondering how she could keep it all down. haha.

me and my Milo :p woohoo!
(my phone's camera always makes me look... round. lol.)

ok la, to make the boy happy...

me and my Milo dinosaur :) hurhur.

buay tahan, must show off my chio jersey :D i love it! even though it makes me look like i'm wearing pajamas out on the streets.

---

modules for the semester:
LSM4211 Toxicology
LSM4212 Pharmacogenetics and Drug Responses
LSM4243 Tumour Biology
GEM2900 Understanding Stats blah blah (long name)

Toxicology seems fun :) yayy. haven't attended any of the rest yet. not taking Marine Bio after all, cos the cons outweigh the pros :( lol.

new year, new semester, new beginning. even though it seemed like i already started school like two months ago. the very last year of my academic life (i think); must treasure the times in school and make the best of it :))

i miss being a freshman, or even a sophomore; all that wide-eyed innocence and the hunger and excitement for things to come. i miss the times when i didn't feel jaded about life, about how time waits for no one, about the endless uncertainties of the future.

/It's a winding road
It's a long way home
So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of it
So don't wait cuz no one can tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives/

awww how sweet :))

2008-08-10T00:11:00.001+08:00

i just got back from pretty much the best NDP experience i've ever had. HAHA. beats even having tickets for the parade cos you still have to sit in the sun and rain if you do. we had a perfect view of the very cool aerial display and the fireworks, the comfort of sitting on chairs, nice cool wind, shelter from the sun and rain, a wide array of food choices available metres from us, the TOILET (very important), and lots of fun, laughter, peace and joy (haha sorry, just had to add that).

have i told you how much i love fighter planes? i'll tell you again now :))

sorry ah some pics are pretty blur. me is not pro photog. there were two SLR cameras among us btw and my camera seemed so puny and lousy beside them lolll.

yayy i love this picture :) i think it's pretty obvious where we were already. heh!

even going all the way to lab from there in the middle of the afternoon with the intention of adding my drug but ended up reaching lab just to find out that my cells DIED didn't dampen my spirits for what was to come.

see, i told you i'm not cut out for research. i still have no idea why my cells died. i went through everything in my head already and still haven't figured out what went wrong. zzz. i'm going back tomorrow again to re-do my frickin experiment for the third time.

i officially have no life! and school hasn't even started! omggg.

2008-08-06T13:17:00.001+08:00

miserable life!

i've been in lab since 8 am and i have to stay till about 10 pm today, cos i'm running a time course experiment and there's a lot of waiting time involved. 10 frickin pm!! omgggg. why am i not paid for this.

i hope i can smuggle the bf in later tonight so when i'm slogging in the lab i know that there's someone waiting for me in the office :) hehe.

and it's FREEZING here. i have my jacket on but i'm still shivering!

miserable miserable life.

anws we're hooked on this online game which is like the keyboard version of Guitar Hero. hahaha. i need more practice!! my coordination totally sucks. and it's damn bad for the eyes cos at the end of each game all i see are multi-coloured arrows dancing in front of me.

school's starting and there're a million things i wanna do but have no time :((

from Cuteoverload:

:))) i can just STARE at this for ages. hahahaha.

2008-08-02T22:24:00.002+08:00

it sucks when your life is controlled by two 15 cm2 flasks of tiny multiplying cells. today i couldn't stop thinking about them and worrying whether the nutrient medium was depleting so i had to have my dad send me to lab just so i could check on them. the time spent getting there and back was more than the time i spent in the lab. -___- ohm now i know how you feel, when you did the exact same thing one Sunday many many weeks ago. lol!

FYP is so gonna consume my life.

anws i'm getting jittery cos i'm gonna do an actual experiment (like finally) starting Monday. hope my protocol fits and all goes well and i can actually obtain some kind of result at the end of it. sian halfff.

i seriously can't imagine myself doing this for life. like seriously seriously. all that stress!

anyhows, to irritate people (especially a very jealous bf hehhehheh), click here!!

WOOT! :))

and to assure everybody (and the very jealous bf) that i'm not obsessed with a guy 4 years my junior and listening to only his songs:

Secondhand Serenade's Fall For you :))

lovin' it!

i caught a glimpse of the NDP preview's aerial display and fireworks at my grandma's place today. i think i'm weird, but i always get this indescribable rush whenever i see AND hear fighter planes zooming overhead :)) mmmmm.

2008-07-30T17:37:00.006+08:00

i must blog about this, cos i had the WORST chicken rice i've ever had in my 21 years and 7 plus months of my life.

beware of the chicken rice at NUH Kopitiam!! (not staff canteen.) omg. the chicken tasted really weird and the rice had some weird greenish stuff on it :S like urgh. the only stuff edible were the 2 pieces of cucumber. -__-

-shudders- i told my lab mate "if you don't see me tomorrow you'll know why." hahaha.

anws David A's first ever single will be out this Friday! :D like anyone will give a hoot about this, but i just had to type it out :p hurhur.

am listening to Jason Mraz's (not very) new album now. not as nice as i thought it'd be :( ql, i can send you "I'm Yours" if you're still crazy over it :)

i've been having this weird eye allergy these past few days. both my eyes get really itchy and annoying bumps would appear around them. have been speculating on what exactly i'm allergic to but i still haven't found out yet. went to the doctor and he just gave me eye drops. and i've been popping chlorpheniramine every night so that i don't turn up in lab with itchy, red obakak-like eyes in the mornings.

sab went KL to see Chelsea!! she and mike had training passes! like OMG. so jealous :(( (which i shouldn't be cos i'm a Liverpool fan but still! imagine your fave team up close! omgg.) i'm dying to see photos!!

ok gtg :)

John Mayer's Free Fallin'

sunset in school :) was on the bus to Fongseng before the gang's commencement two weeks back.

module planning is a pain in the ass. i hate having heavy back-to-back papers but i doubt i can avoid them this semester. zzz.

i'm in dire need of shoppinggg! oh and i haven't seen the gigantic Liverpool poster in Suntec's Adidas yet!

i'm having Batman withdrawal symptoms! lol. i must be mad, but it was that good, imho :)) haven't felt this way for a movie ever since The Prestige. haha. (and it so happens that both movies star Christian Bale. wooot. i heart his smile and his charming accent :p but ahem, that's beside the point.)

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

whee!

2008-07-26T00:28:00.002+08:00

THE best movie of 2008 :)) it was so intense. loved the cinematography. and the Joker was creeeepy. world-class acting by a superb actor. i so wanna watch it again!

2008-07-22T11:21:00.004+08:00

in point form:

1. i'm doing risk assessment in lab now and generally being bored haha.
2. i finally have a mini-headstart on my project. at least now i know how to actually use a hypoxia chamber. now i just need someone to teach me how to do a cell viability count and how to measure intracellular calcium. and i've to start planning my project. and... -continues to ramble to herself-
3. i'm constantly surrounded by very smart people and i feel dumb in their presence.
4. i owe gohsinpok 34 bucks and gohsinpok owes me PHOTOS! this is here so that it's impossible for us to forget. (and i just realized that i always use different variations of her name on my blog HAHA.)
5. i hate the durian season cos my whole house stinks of durian 24/7.
6. you know you're not a beach person when 8 people spend an entire day at Sentosa playing BANG! hahaha. i'm kinda hooked! to think i actually hated it when i first played it in Settlers. i love being the Renegade wahaha.
7. it's scary how i don't know who's reading my blog.
8. Marine Bio is SO beckoning me to take it next sem! rahh. i hate it when i have to choose between interest and practicality.
9. i have to take one more UE and i don't have any spare level ones already! siannn. i so wanna do another English module, but i'm not brave enough do a level three.
10. i can't wait to watch The Dark Knight cos the whole universe is RAVING about it. wheee! but i think i'd feel a tad empty and sad after watching it cos it'll officially be the end of Heath Ledger's life as an actor :( i kind of hope that he really gets that posthumous Oscar. lol.
11. it'll be HELL when school starts. zzz. they say the Honours Year is the toughest year of your entire education (including possible postgrad studies), cos obviously you have to juggle between both lab and modules, which sucks. why does my life seem so bleak.
12. i secretly want to go for SingFest :(( but so ex! and no one to go with anw. ha. One Republic! Jason Mraz! Melee! Travis! Simple Plan! omgggg.
13. i'm itching to get this certain Esprit top but it's $69.90 for a sheer piece of pink cloth :( self-control, ts, self-control.
14. lunch time!

2008-07-18T00:17:00.008+08:00

石欣卉 - 我知道我变漂亮了 (《一切完美》's theme song)

i love the show (and the song)! mainly cos it's so different from those typical dramas Channel 8 churns out all the time. and i love how every episode somewhat has a message, no matter how cliché the message is. heh. am hooked :)

过去的批评嘲讽 (Let it go Let it go)
过去的轻蔑冷落 (Let it go Let it go)
有些人口不饶人却忘了瞧瞧自己又有什么资格

时刻都善良待人 (Let's move on Let's move on)
时刻都做好本分 (Let's move on Let's move on)
有些人心思浅薄绝不是宽容自暴自弃的理由

也许确实也受过言语打击
也许从来也没有什么好际遇
但千万别将勇气深锁在阴影里
我们又不会妨碍这世界继续美丽

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我被注意了
曾难过曾失落
微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我也豁达了
不自卑不埋怨
就算还差一点点
用内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美迷住每个人的眼
用内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美迷住每个人的眼

it's always nice to spend time with the bf :) since we haven't had much time nowadays cos we're both busy and all. it kinda takes my mind of things, like lab and stuff. i kind of regret taking Honours :(( i don't think i'm cut out for lab at all :( i can't really put what i feel into words so i'll just leave it as it is. and weekends are like heaven to me cos i get to completely throw lab aside, and when Sunday nights come i get so sian cos it starts all over again the next day.

i get along pretty well with the lab people already, so it's not that, if you're wondering. i just...i dunno. i hate it when i have so many things to say but i just can't put them into words, like now. it's like my mind gets stumped and my hands are over the keyboard but i dunno how to express myself.

oh well, this cheers me up a lil bit :p

gonna sleep it off. PMS-ing!

2008-07-13T23:34:00.001+08:00

the very incomplete family portrait of The Ring, and an extra. hehh! i seriously don't know what'd become of me if i hadn't joined SOW and met you people :)

the Science fac commencement colour is chio-ness to the max, by the way.

anyhows, it's strange how SR guys started entering my life one by one ever since i stepped into uni, and i'm glad they did :) (especially the one on the left, of course :p)

nahh! for you all to kope. tell me if you want originals! i didn't take many photos amidst all the excitement and frenzy. must pester people for photos already. haha.

reminder to self for the millionth time: please rub oil off forehead before taking photos with flash. HA.

2008-07-09T11:01:00.000+08:00

the irritating brother finally graduated :))

come Friday and it'll be the Life Science gang's turn. what a month :) a month of mortarboards and certificates, happiness, freedom, and pride.

makes me wonder how it'll be like for me this time next year. the mixed feelings of joy of finally ending years of education, and the apprehension of stepping out into the real world.

2008-07-05T00:22:00.006+08:00

listen to this and tell me that this kid is not talented! omg. hahaha.
//EDIT: sound quality of this one is much better :)

and while we're at it, why not listen to his version of Apologize too :p hehheh.

i can imagine the bf (and sab.. and kl.. and sinhui.. and...) rolling their eyes when they see this HAHA.

on a rather relevant note, i think it's funny how whenever i find some guy cute and i tell the bf and he gives the sian diao face; and then he shoots back by saying some girl is pretty but then i reply "ya i think so too" HAHA and so his plan backfires :D that's the difference between guys and girls huh.

bittergourd in our backyard! exciting! i never knew we had bittergourd growing in the backyard and my mum was like "can you please walk around and observe what's going on in your own home for once" haha.

but HEY i noticed the orchids! ha. they've wilted since about 2 weeks ago btw which is sad. thank goodness i took pictures of them.

lab-wise, i think it's actually a blessing in disguise that i'm doing cell work instead of animal work after all, cos i've seen how a fellow Honours student inject his rats with H2S (which is obviously slowly killing them OMG) and how a postgrad killed her rats and like removed their brains or something to do primary culture, and i was like NO WAY can i ever fathom myself doing all that :S

and so i took the tetanus jab for nothing. lol.

anws my 2 weeks worth of cells got contaminated :(( depressing! so i have to start subculturing all over again on Monday. oh wells, it's my first time doing this so problems are bound to suffice. (this is called zi4 wo3 an1 wei4 haha.) i guess i just have to be more careful next time.

2008-06-30T20:38:00.010+08:00

Viva España!!! :)))

am probably gonna get boycotted by a whole lot of my friends now, but i don't care! SPAIN SPAIN!!

for the first time in my LIFE, the team i support from the beginning of a tournament actually went on to win it. lol!

(something tells me to stop supporting England anymore. HAHA. kidding.)

after 44 years of trophy-drought, Spain truly deserved it :))

amazingly enough, i managed to get 6 hours of sleep last night, 2 before the game and 4 after. lol.

on a side note, i can't stand guys who think that girls watch soccer solely for the players. i mean, ya i admit good-looking players are an added incentive (hehh), but i DO love watching soccer for the game you know. irritating!

anws i'm loving the Adidas Dream Big campaign :) here's the full documentary version!

Part 1

Part 2

i LOL-ed when i heard Mourinho's voice cos i was suddenly reminded of this song :p

wahaha!

2008-06-29T00:57:00.003+08:00

my happiest buys from this year's GSS so far :)) (not like i bought alot heh.)

pink crocs for lab! my most comfy covered shoes ever :) my mum bought the black version but she ended up finding it very uncomfortable, so now i have 2 of the same shoes but in different colours. lol. but i don't like the black one :S haha. oh and bf and i had a blast choosing the jibbitz to accompany the shoes lol! :p

Liverpool training jersey! woohoo! like finally! i'm hyperventilating as i type this hahaha. thanks mike hehe :) 35 bucks only leh! OMG i'm hyperventilating even more. HAHA.

decided not to get the away jersey cos the training one is so much chioer! ha. sab and ohmy agrees! heh. the minus point is that i can't have "Gerrard 8" printed at the back cos there's a gigarnomous Adidas logo there.

now i have two chio Liverpool jerseys :)) very happy!

disclaimer: i'm not usually this high and bimbotic over shopping buys. don't judge a girl by her blog entry. heh.

---

anws lab has been a little bit better. haha. i guess i just don't warm up to people easily. oh well, time will tell how much i can 'gum' with my lab people. ha. i better do, or else my 4th year will be really miserable. lol!

i've realized i'm not very sociable in a way. i sometimes wonder how people can talk about everything under the sun when they only just met for like 30 minutes. this kinda people are damn impressive. haha! i get all quiet and awkward when i'm around people i'm not familiar with. i'm just simply not a social butterfly. i don't like to step out of my comfort zone, which is quite bad right. ha.

oh wells. i know i have a bunch of close friends i can always count on and whom i can be absolutely comfy with, and that's enough for me :)

---

woohoo SPAIN!!!! i finally watched a Euro match live (Spain vs Russia yesterday. Germany vs Turkey wasn't counted cos i watched the repeat telecast lol). i'm so gonna stay up tomorrow night to watch the finals even though i have lab on monday. HECK IT! :D

the whole world supports Germany! :( how can liddat :( hahaha.

2008-06-24T14:18:00.006+08:00

John Mayer's Say (nice song, nice lyrics :))

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for givin' in
Have no fear for givin' over
You'd better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]

2008-06-19T16:45:00.004+08:00

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love

Seasons of love
Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died

It's time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love
Remember the love
Seasons of love

this is for sab! :D

wahahahaha!

2008-06-14T22:12:00.003+08:00

i just finished watching Lost Season 4! many questions answered, and yet many questions left hanging, as usual. haha now i regret completing it so fast. i wonder when Season 5 will be out. and i miss Charlie! he's my fave character in the show. i cried during the episode when he wrote down his "5 best moments of my sorry excuse of a life, you know, the greatest hits".

" #5 The first time I heard myself on the radio.
#4 Dad teaching me to swim at Butlins.
#3 The Christmas Liam gave me the ring.
#2 Woman outside Cohent Garden calls me a hero.
#1 The night I met you. "

:(((

wahahaha ok i should stop.

kl's flying off to HK in 2 weeks' time for 2 months and ohm's flying off to Beijing at the end of August for 2 years.

double sigh :(

anws i'll be starting my FYP the week after next. not exactly starting, but will be learning some cell culture techniques. i'll be having a co-supervisor (Bian, who taught us human pharmaco), so i'll be doing a bulk of my project in his lab. not really looking forward to that. oh well, i should have seen it coming when i approached peter wong to be my FYP sup, cos he's a busy man, being the head of pharmaco and all :( booo. i hope bian is good. went on a 'tour' of his lab yesterday and the people there are like damn unfriendly :S rah. the only plus point for now is that the lab is in CeLS, which is where sab's lab is! we're going to be neighbours :) ha.

going for the animal handling course in July, plus two other lab safety courses which i have yet to sign up for. and this time i can't run away any more; have to take my tetanus jab and i'm gonna do it some time next week.

i'm having mixed feelings now. i don't know if i made the right choice to do this project or not. we'll just have to wait and see, i guess. shall hope for the best :)

anws on a much much happier note, i'm going for a 3-day roadtrip to Cameron Highlands this coming Friday! with my parents and bf (if he's able to slack one day off his internship heh). it'll be a much anticipated breather before i begin my no-life life in the lab.

Cameron Highlands is my favourite place in M'sia :) not that i've been to a lot of places in M'sia, but still. haha! when i think of Cameron Highlands, vague memories of fresh morning dew, rows and rows of strawberries, scarecrows and a swing in the backyard come to mind.

One Republic's Stop and Stare

...I think I'm moving but I go nowhere.

2008-06-10T17:35:00.007+08:00

the funniest "Please switch off your handphone" vid before movies i've ever seen. hahaha! hilarious!

have been catching up on Lost these few days. i stopped watching it completely like more than a year ago i think. ha. i think i got really sian of the series at that time cos i was watching it on tv and it was damn irritating with all the commercials and having to wait a week before each episode. lol. am at episode 16 of season 3 now (slow, i know) and i'm back into the hype. woot!

it feels really good to slack at home. haha. haven't had this feeling for a pretty long time already. i'm meeting my prof this friday, so i foresee no more slacking around in the weeks to come.

2008-06-05T21:23:00.006+08:00

"If you wanna see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

a pretty sight bright and early yesterday morning :) made me a very happy girl in lab yesterday. haha.

i find the words "Breakout Area" really funny. hahaha. so once you enter the room you get a horrendous pimple breakout.

anws i think i screwed up majorly in lab today, all due to my stupidity and my over-reliance on people to guide me. sigh.

independence, ts, independence.

so i was feeling pretty down when i left work today. but oh wells, such things happen so that we can learn from them. it's only when we experience the downs that we appreciate the ups more. this goes to you too ohmy :)

on a lighter note, sinhui and i are gonna start a pharmaceutical company in future and it's going to be called Toking Pok Enterprises. HAHAHA.

Jesse McCartney's Leavin'

cute song! ignore the mtv, i have no idea where that young innocent boy who sang Beautiful Soul a few years back went. lol.

and i'm still crazy over David A., and the bf is exasperated beyond words. hahaha.

last day of work tomorrow! woohoo!

2008-05-31T22:05:00.007+08:00

spotted in the NUM shop window at CityLink (click for bigger picture):

in case it can't be seen clearly, the paper above the jersey reads "kuku team of the year 07/08". wahahaha! i just simply had to take a photo of it :D

anws i was going to type out which team i support for Euro (since England is sadly out of the picture), but then i decided not to, cos it's always jinxed remember?? haha.

was watching past AI videos on youtube of David Archuleta performing (i didn't catch the show on TV until it was like Top 5) and i SO LOVE HIS VOICE!! omg.

this is one of my faves. Shop Around :)

and this too! Smoky Mountain Memories.

still have a lot more actually, but i reckon nobody will really go click and watch them except me, so... hahaha! he's damn cute!! i am SUCH a paedophile :p hehhh.

//EDIT: bf calls him David Tarantula! hahaha. i think he's jealous :D

our pigging out staple :) we're boring like that! hehehe :p what's not to love about hokkien mee and sambal stingray?

btw the hokkien mee stall at Makansutra has changed owners or something! the hokkien mee is not as nice now :( (i think the banana leaf makes most of the difference HAHA.)

am happy with my results! hard work pays off after all :) stress is good. heh. i'm so gonna take back these three words when it's time to mug for my exams next semester. lol.

anws i've been talking to this postgrad in my lab who's doing his PhD now and regretting it (long story), and the conversations got me thinking about the issue on furthering my studies. i'm still not sure yet, but maybe i'll do Masters and see how from there. but i'm still really blur about the whole furthering studies thing, so i guess i'll have to wait till i start my FYP and yup, decide from there.

was just reading jay's blog, and i really admire you man! hahaha. you think so far and have got almost everything planned out! ha.

next week is my last week of internship! lol. i barely just started. yep, a month really passes by in a flash. i don't know if i'm happy or sad that my internship is ending (funny right, i always dread something so much and then it turns out fine in the end). but i guess i'm a little more to the happy side than sad :)

2008-05-24T13:33:00.001+08:00

Southern Ridges (started from HortPark then to Kent Ridge and back to HortPark then to Telok Blangah Hill Park, then to Mt Faber and ended at Vivo!):

it screams HOTHOTHOT in every picture haha. should have gone there in the evening like ql!

ahpooi pictures after a long hamster hiatus:

first picture shows her favourite sleeping position: on top of the wheel with her hind legs sticking out of the cage.

saw this at Raffles MRT station and we went up and down the escalator like mad people a total of 3 times (so means it was 6 trips on the escalator) just to get a nice shot. and it's STILL not nice. hahaha!

i saw fireworks yesterday! fireworks make me happy :)

伍家辉 - 虽然我愿意

(in TJ!! woot. how i miss the mud green uniform days. haha.)

请让我靠近你轻轻对你说
别让我每个夜为你受折磨
是多么不容易才默默放手
为了我就当作这次为了我
别让我因为你被回忆折磨
而空气凝结了我们的脸孔
我别无选择

Chorus:
就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意
(心还想着你)

再让我靠近你轻轻对你说
当我说我要你从此好好过
是真的否则我怎么肯放手
为了我就当作这次为了我
赐给我你现在幸福的笑容
别让恨冻结了我们的脸孔
请你做选择

so sad :(( fave song of the moment! (apart from the 2 whole James Blunt albums hahaha)

tonight's a HUGE night for soccer fans :) Champions League final between Man U and Chelsea!! hmmm i can't openly say which team i support cos, on one hand it's the bf and on the other it's sab (and i'll get severely beaten up if i go either way, cannot under-estimate what soccer fans can do for their team). hehheh.

i'm having wednesday blues. hehhhh. lalala...

i've got pictures from monday's nature escapade to post, but as expected, i can't!! super pissed off!! roarrr. haha public holidays are meant for us to relax and sleep in, but bf and i woke up bright and early at 6.30 am (yes you didn't see wrongly) to walk the Southern Ridges! haha fun :) although it was damn HOT and the trails were PACKED with people and screaming kids (what to expect, public holiday mah).

i'm so supporting David Archuleta over David Cook for american idol!

meanwhile here's some pictures of my favourite animal in the world :)) wombats!!

hahaha how random.

2008-05-18T21:50:00.010+08:00

blogger finally allowed me to post pictures!

James Blunt's playing the guitar in all the pictures we took cos whenever he was at the piano i was taking videos! hahaha.

lazy to post my own vids cos the file size is super big so i've decided to nick some off youtube :)

Goodbye my Lover (listen to the audience's singing towards the end, resonating throughout the stadium :) i love it!! haha gives me goosebumps)

One of the Brightest Stars (if only we were this close!!)

No Bravery (i teared a little during this song too. omg why am i telling everyone what a crybaby i am heh. it's about his experience in the army when he was part of the peacekeeping forces in Kosovo)

Carry You Home

Same Mistake

Cos I Love You (where he gets high and jumps off the stage)

You're Beautiful is so passé so i'm not pasting it! heh.

here's him singing Goodbye my Lover again. it's like my favourite James Blunt song :))

klohmts :D hahaha. it looks like beehoon on the plate! lol.. it's actually melted chocolate + banana remnants + melted wax. ack.
