A choice is made

I have made a choice... (^.^)

hmm... these days haven't been really studying that hard. Though i tell myself that this sch term break is the best time to catch up with my studies, apparrently, the studies themselves had squashed me. However it is this break that truly makes my life different. I've live without regret.

Hmm.. on fri went to IRO and submit the application for INSTEP. Tried to walk to Chinese Heritage Center via that long staircase, but there is no through road! Half way on the stairs, i'm dead tired... left is a locked door, right is a patch of grassland. Sian diao... lazy to walk up the stairs, i tried the grassland that i really don't know where it will lead me. All i know was that i wanted to hop on the 179 bus to meet my date. In the end, i had another "field trip" and the slope down was quite managable. haha!! End up sweating a lot... lucky there isn't any giant ants...

Oh ya! Spend the whole day yesterday with my sister studying together. LOL!! It has been a great time being with her and i enjoyed every moment!~ Hmm... don't know why, everything is blissful for me despite the heavy workload. I just feel blessed now. For those who knew that they've contributed, thanks so much!!

Anyway felt disgusted when i saw the monday neuro lecture. No diff from Developmental bio. Haiz...Lets hope Monday will be a better day.

Believing

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

"haha.. i just believe u."
That's all i need to know

My "fate" has been re-specified. Life is never the same again...

Busy playing as usual..

Oh no.. slept at 4am on Saturday and 5am on Sunday night!!! Truthfully speaking, i did nothing at all. The mind is willing, but the body is weak. My mind is desperately desiring to study, but my heart is determined to make me sleep. SIAN

Anyway i won't be able to study when my heart is unwilling. Went church on sunday and haha... its the second time i went to the Youth Worship service. Do felt welcome by a few people... hmm... although the songs are all transposed properly to the same key and it makes singing easier, i find the speed a little too fast. Perhaps being in the Adult Worship has slowed down my pace greatly. One thing i disagreed with the preacher, but anyway not important... haha... visited by grandpa before going home as usual.

Oh ya.. cycled to Rivervale Plaza at 7.30pm and buy oranges and pear.. haha... a nice experience! But everything seems rush cos by the time i'm ready, its already 8.30pm. Had a nice and cooling walk after that and felt that the time is well spent... thanks!! Such walk is always refreshing and nice... it is memorable too...

Oh ya.. thanks YF for encouraging me to study... i will try de... :) i'll try to apply for fee paying scheme to go to Alberta... We'll see how k!

Shopping trip on sat

Today is a lovely saturday... Drove my sister to sch and had breakfast together in Can14. Haha!! So glad that she's willing to wake up early and company me!

For the research seminar practical, i'm so sorry that i've to leave early! But really thankful that i have a team of great friends who are so understanding... :) Was kinda rush because i've to return the car to my dad within 25 minutes from Boon lay to Sengkang! Anyway i did it, with much "daytona experience" and thrill... LOL!!! I'm so sorry Huilin and Li Shi... i think i threatened both your life...

Anyway the both of them had a home-cooked lunch + dessert at my house, watched a little bit of "gross" movie before we go bugis for shopping!! Oh man... mentioning shopping really makes me guilty.. haha... but all in all, the shopping trip is nice! Went to shop in Bugis street, looking at clothings, accessories, bags etc. Then we had a nice dinner before playing our all time favourite: Spot the difference. HAHA!! Looks like huiling is addicted... Hmm... after that we went home!

As for me, the night is still young... Went to somewhere and spend my night with someone important to me until about 1.30am. Time wasted? In fact, this time spent is very precious to me. It is after this night that makes us know one another more in depth, and it is after this night that really change my life. Life after tonight is certainly different...

Btw, the camara function of my phone seems bad... perhaps won't be able to take more nice pictures for this blog.. haha... i'll post blur images perhaps!

Xiao Bu Dian = Sotong Birthday!

Wow... these days, there are so many people birthday going on! Look at this girl who is trying to cover her face:

Have you ever wonder all the weird position a person can have when all the eyes are looking at them? haha!! Don't know leh... for me, i think the people behind her looks more normal than the girl facing us now... anyway, this is her latest "praying stunt":Look at Zi Xian, totally oblivious of the birthday girl as she look at her "donut cake", specially bought by Russell i guess? :) Oh ya.. the donut is from Missy donut! As usual, my best friend and i against the white walls of SBS building~

Happy family! Got Sotong, Jia Wei, Yue Feng, Russell, Zhi Hui, Wei Chao, Isaac, Jie Hui and YY while Zi Xian and me were taking photos~ Sorry YY for truncating you in this picture... haha... i guess it could be a deletion that results in premature termination of the coding sequence...

A closer look at the donut! Strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, green tea, chocolate prinkles, pineapple, orange-flavoured and white chocolate... nice! Whose hand is that??? I can see a ring... hmm... if you can spot whose hand is it, i will offer you one of the matches as seen on the table... :P

The two best friend trying to make a mouthful of "connections"... oh man... luckily we did the DNA extraction using our cheek cells last week. I cannot imagine this kind of incest again for the next practical...

Poor Ying yang.. you are truncated in the pictures above! This should be able to compensate for that! Doesn't he look "stylo" in that statue-like position? Seems to be in deep thoughts...

Anyway the celebration was rather well planned! Thanks to sotong's friends like Russell, Jie Hui and Jia Wei... haha... straight after that is our practical... well... spinning and spinning the "unknown sample" from one of us to test for Huntington disease. Although we don't know whose DNA is that, i believe my DNA has reached the reduced penetrance level. Don't know leh... sometimes my hand just "shiver" by itself... some sort of like loss of cognition? haha...

All in all, today was a nice day to me although i'm very very tired. Had a good chat with YF and everything is alright again.. haha.. the more time u spend with someone, of course friction will always occur. Most importantly, be honest with one another and then to forgive is the best solution!

I believe tomorrow will be a better day. From my heart... (^.^)

Eunice Birthday!

Today is our family day once again! Well.. other than the usual outing, its another special occasion because its my sister Eunice birthday! Haha! Well... did nothing much actually... just had a great dinner and a great time with my family. Oh ya! 19/09 is Eunice birthday and 24/09 is Wen Wei birthday and we celebrated with them together!

My lovely parents~ All i can say is... they are my role model in certain aspect. Haha... admire and love them a lot..

Oh ya... ate cockles, carb, prawns, lala, some snail-like thingy, mixed vegetables, satay, fish etc. The usual seafood that my parents liked a lot! Of course we do love them too... (^.^)

Usual past-time! Mahjong sessioN! Wei Wen join my sister, bro and mum for a mahjong game! In fact, he don't really know how to play la... and Esther keeps winning!!

It has been another wonderful day for my family. But as usual, the guilt came over me. I didn't study much!!!!!!!

School Days....

Every morning whenever there is light from sun, i will certainly get to see a rainbow at this particular angle and position... without fail, this rainbow will appear within my sight everyday: Notice the rainbow in the middle of the picture? Perhaps it means nothing to you...
To me, this simple mini water fountain has been doing his job everyday, sprouting water in the vicinity of lifeless concretes and buildings...

Maybe this fountain is thinking: Why am i doing such a stupid thing? No one is here to appreciate me... Only those birds that needs water will come to me.. I'm not pretty at all!! Even my sprouting mechanism is turing brown and ugly day by day... No one will have the time to sit down beside me and listen to my cry... I felt lonely and abandoned...

But from his relentless hardwork, i can see a rainbow. Perhaps from his hardwork, it has become a blessing to the people around him unknowingly. If one day, he is no longer sprouting water, i will not be able to see that rainbow anymore. Everything will seem lifeless here... Keep up the good work! Or perhaps, sometimes all we need in life is just a little bit of encouragement...

"tick".... .... ... "tick" ... ... ... "tick"... ... ...
oh man... i'm bombarded by a "flying bullet" in school. Take a look at this "flying bullet":
Yey... taken this picture when i felt something has hit my cheek... this broken pencil lead is in fact the "flying bullet" i'm referring to -_________-" Everytime Moon is stress and starts to write ( regardless in lecture or lab or tutorials ), my poor face will always feel something... please don't be so stress k... although my cute face has pass the "two-point discrimination" test for tactile ability with wonderful results, my sensory neurons are firing unnecessarily to the dorsal root ganglion, up the spinal cord ipsilaterally, synapse with the 2nd order neurons, cross the midline and ascend all the way through pons and midbrains... ... ... etc... and stimulated me.

Ok... ignore me please... i'm just bored to death in hall...

Confinement

Stay in school the whole day! I thought other than army, i would not have to face such misery again... although i have my favourite Xenopus with me, nothing can kill that boredom within me. However something delightful happen today! My lovely sister msg me! My mood was uplifted actually.. haha... Thanks!!!

Talking about Xenopus, i found out an interesting fact from Wikipedia. Little do i know my lovely Xenopus can be used as a pregnancy test kit!! Inject the female frog with serum or urine of the women. If the frog produced eggs within the next 24 hours, the test was positive! ( means she is pregnant ) LOL!!

Was just wondering.. how did the human chorionic gonadotropin stimulate the frog? How did the frog feel when we inject our urine into her? She must be struggling... very hard... Sad... I can't even stand the smell of my own urine, and the frog have to face such unnecessary trama... haix... at least i promise u that if u were to become my experimental Xenopus in the future, you will not be forced to lay eggs for me by this tramatic way...

Sleepy Sunday

The heart is willing, but the body is weak

Went church today with an anxious feeling... haix.. played not as well and too softly... perhaps i will quit one day..
Got to see my grandpa a while today! Chatted with my dad and felt very tired the whole day.. seriously, i slept the whole day. My whole sunday is wasted! Nvm... it'll treat it as a time to rest.. Chatted with a few friends here and there... nothing much happen though... haha..

Just a few pictures i took over the past week during sch time:

Found this cute millipede in the urinals at LT19A... haha! No doubt i gave him a sensational urinary bath... Seems cute la.. at least it didn't curl up like it used to!
Doing electrophoresis.. haha.. don't think i'm a noob k! These are just some memories i have when i'm still schooling... know its simple stuff, but its what i'm doing afterall! The gel on the right is YF and mine one... perfectly done... haix.. no matter what, we don't have the bands cos the PCR machine is damaged... see! The machine seems nice hor? The "warning sign" make it seems so professional... haha... but i think no one died from electrocution while doing electrophoresis right?
At the 4th level in SBS building...

Studying in the CBE building with YF

I just hope next week will be a better week for all of us... God Bless!

What's new will become old eventually

What's new will become old eventually

Hmm... these days have been very very busy... no time to study! But everything kinda sorted out already and everyone seems to have a happier mood for this weekend!

Went out with someone with a broken heart on fri. Hmm... i'm so grateful that my parents are such great host! Had a dinner with her and ate Tie Ban Tou Fu, mixed vegetables, satay and orange juice! Though the quantity is small, the amount was more than what our stomach can contain. Thanks Dad and Mum!

Hmm... drove to the beach after that to talk a small walk... haix... her heart was heavy, but as time goes by, the cooling wind, beautiful flowers ( red / purple bongavilla was seen at full flage in ECP! ) and bright stars welcomed us and temporarily brought us out of the hectic study schedule and out into a place filled with lovers and much peace. Although a few funny things seems to happen ( e.g. standing beside garbages and "enjoying" the smell unknowingly, army guys having road march and the presence of an isolated "pub" like structure ), the night was good.

Haha.. learned something from her! The bright stars u see now have actually travelled millions of light years before reaching our eyes. On top of that, a small light may be a bigger star than those stars which are brigher, because the distance of the big stars may be further to the earth than the smaller stars... simple fact huh? :P

Hmm.. send her back at around 1100 hours before going back home and rest. Things seems fine... (^.^) or at least, she should felt better and slept well for the night... for me, i felt super duper tired and slept almost immediately.. hmm... sorry that i have to forsake u at some moment, but i don't mean it... no courage to face the pressure and stress... felt useless sometimes.. haha.. anyway, although the next morning some misunderstanding with my best friend, everything is sorted out and well again... thankful~!

haix... still haven't practise the songs for church... hope i won't cock up the entire service tomorrow...

A wonderful, yet sinful day

Wednesday again!! U must be thinking that its family day for me again? Nah... the next family day for me is 2 weeks later, but i manage to go out with Wan jing today! Yup... first time meeting her alone only, but it won't be often anyway since we are all busy with our work... haix..

Met her in SBS at 1530hrs before going to CanA and take 199 to MRT. Travel all the way to Vivo! Hmm... chatted along the way also.. Chat about some gossips and got some advice from her TCM knowledge.. haha!! Had our dinner in burger king before watching the movie Ratatouille in GV at 1830hrs. Hmm.... Anyway this rat hor, who wanted to become the chef, resembles one of her hamster which passed away not long ago!! Haiz... perhaps this is the reason why she wanna watch this show... Nonetheless, the show was very funny!! Enjoyed myself... (^.^)

Next we went back to JP to have some fruits before going back hall and rest. Didn't study at all!! OMG... hope tomorrow will be able to catch up with the tons of homework that awaits me... Yet i cannot deny that today is really a very nice and relaxing day for me.. Do take care of yourself Wan Jing!!

Not everyone can be a good artist, but a good artist can be from anyone and anywhere :P
I should learn to be confident of myself too!!!

Sad entry again

haiz ... sat on the chair, tried to shift in only but hurt my foot accidentally by something sharp.. bleeding... normal ba... some hearts are bleeding also.. If your heart is bleeding, take heart cos u have company...

What can you do if someone close to you felt that the world has forsaken them? Sadness, hatred, anger, disappointment and lost feeling just come over them... tears dripping...

perhaps this is just another necessary evil...

Felt helpless suddenly, because i cannot do anything.. only they themselves can sort of their thoughts... Only they themselves can protect themselves from harm.. because this is their life, and they are in control. All i can do is to make myself available to lend a listening ear...

My leg still bleeding... it will still bleed... but when it stops bleeding, i will be stronger. No matter what, the scar will always be there, which reminds me of the hurt... but it teaches me a lesson, a lesson which i will never forget...

When someone is rejoicing, do rejoice with him too! Congrats him and send him your warmest regards and blessings...

However when someone is filled with sadness, perhaps what we can do is to just cry with him/her and half the pain.
Don't have to say a single word of consolation sometimes, cos you never know when is he hearing it for the 25th times, or even the 100th times from his friends...

Just be there for him
