Weekend rest

Had a good rest over the weekend! Seriously, i've been away from books for the past 3 days, but i felt happy nonetheless!

Perhaps the real challenge will come 2 weeks later - when exam started. LOL!! I cannot believe myself to be so relax during this exam period! Perhaps it might help me to focus better by not being tensed up? =P It does help... Still, the exam seems ominous because i don't really expect good grades this semester. Sometimes just feel sian when u're stuck at that "class boundary" and have to tried so hard to climb up.

Hope all of you are coping well with your school work!
* Happy Happy Mood *

Most importantly, i would like to thank my parents. They make me feel so blessed. They are so wonderful... They have been there for me through tough times *thanks* and i truly appreciate them a lot.

No time

I am so sorry for the lack of updates... Actually a lot of things happened to me.. a lot of beautiful and lovely things... however the clutches of homework and the upcoming exams never fail to knock some sense out of me.. been very tired and extremely busy with school work and lab reports!!! Haiz...

At the very least, i will try to update this blog whenever i can! In the meanwhile, i hope everyone can hold on and JIA YOU for your exams!

Life is good (^.^)

Recovering!

On the 12th Oct 07, something sweet happened. Something which is undescrible, yet is definitely a thing to be remembered for life... (^.^) thanks!

Anyway my severe sore throat and feverish body is getting better! Hmm.. thanks so much for your honey drink and VapoDrops! Really appreciate everything... Thanks Moon for your lozenges too! U've been a very good friend to me and i appreciate you also...

Although i didn't manage to study a lot, i rested over the entire weekend. Numerous neuronal cells have died from the infection and my prokaryotic mitochondria has been greatly influenced by the antibiotic i've taken, nevertheless, i'm still a strong ginna! Oh ya.. the doctor prescribed Amoxcillin, Danzen ( anti-inflammatory ) and Chlorpheniramine ( for my runny nose ) to me for just $2.50!! Seems... cheap.. haha! However i come across this website:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&uid=2688125&cmd=showdetailview&indexed=google
Danzen can cause breast engorgement?!?!?! sian diao... lucky i'm not taking it anymore other than the antibiotics.

Learned a lesson from church today: From nothing we come, from nothing we go. How very true. Most of the time, we are always trying to achieve something, trying to set objectives, goals and aims, but at the end of the day, we left the world with nothing at all. Sad isn't it? It seems as though all our effort will be wasted eventually. Perhaps in life, nothing actually matters... as what a christian might say: live a life that is pleasing to God. Haix.. actually i don't have the heart to play for church. Lazy? Dishearten? No time is definite. Just feel no point sometimes. Perhaps i need time for myself and think in retrospect for my commitment in church again.

That's all! Time to stimulate the long term potentiation in me and start studying hard this week! Hope everything will be fine... especially for those who loved me...

Unbearable

Today had my plant practical! Hmm... simple chromatograph on TCM plants! haha.. since results are "confidential", i shall post those that i think seems ok?

Me and Yong Xiang looking at the capllarity movement of the dye!

The squatters for the day: CCC and YF. Chatting about cars and speeding actually... LOL.. imagine the car plate # 9 on a toyota car?

I find this picture very cute! haha.. find their action comical sometimes... don't know what to say about this pic.. LOL!

Anyway today i had a bad day. Unbearable flu... severe sore throat... feeling cold everywhere i go... brain-dead and felt weak. Most probably is viral infection. Haix.. actually fri going to be a wonderful day, but i guess i cannot enjoy as much le... I cannot imagine i slept outside library alone from 6pm to 7.30pm after lecture!! haix.. pain everywhere... why is my spinothalamic tract so potent... bradykinin is torturing me!! Guess its due to the inflammation of my lymph nodes. Perhaps its a good thing? Since all my T cells are getting "primed" by the presentation of the viral antigen. But is a little to painful to even swallow my food!! haix... sad...

WIll see a doctor tomorrow... I must get well!!!

The three temptations

1st temptation:
Everyone has needs. Sometimes satisfying that need is normal and the most sensible things to do. It is even within our control. However if satisfying this need is not equivalent to God's will, we rather not satisfy that need.

2nd temptation:
When we are faced with two choices, where choosing any of these choices would eventually be wrong, we should come out of that situation and flee from the temptation.

3rd temptation:
When your eyes are set away from the temptation, you will triumphant over it.

Don't know. Sometimes i'm just thinking... since i'm not close to God anymore, perhaps facing temptation would be tough for me. Though temptations are hard to resist, i have to, because i cannot afford to face the consequences if i were to give in...

The beautiful nite

Breeze swept across the face, as the light wind fluttered the smooth and shiny hair. It dispersed like fine linen before settling down and veiled the face once again. The enjoyable and cooling air freshen up the mood as the leaves rustled on the trees to welcome the nite.

Taking out the last piece of tissue, a hand slide gently into the luscious hair and lifted it up. Ever so softly, the tissue swipe the smooth curvature of every fold and ridge. Eyes were looking innocently, confused and bewildered, trying to conceive the situation. Yet it showed deep into the windows of the sincere heart, a sense of trust and acceptance. The unuttered serenity of the nite has in fact told a story.

If only time could stop... ...

Never give up

In the past, i never believed in friendship when i'm young. Of course the yearly contact will always be there, but year after year, friends change. It was not until last year that i gave myself a chance to let someone enter my life and become my best friend.

To be a best friend, it need lots of effort. By accepting her into my life, i'm taking a risk. Risk of rumours, risk that her boyfriend will get jealous, risk of being hurt, risk of being forgotten. It takes a lot of understanding, time and the risk of being rejected to let someone know u in depth as a friend. I truly hope there is nothing that can threat our friendship, because if it does, perhaps i'll never trust in any friends anymore.

On the other hand, i've found someone i'm comfortable with. At this moment, i cannot say much. But just like my best friend, this person is very important to me. Very important. Other than the above that i have mentioned, a great deal of extra understanding, patience, time, effort and trust is needed. You know me best. Although this road of life is never easy, i hope u can be my right hand.

haix... the past may not be beautiful, but i believe if we don't give up, life will be beautiful. Life is good :P ( sounds familiar... LOL... ) I must smile again!!

Be Noticed

A onetime child prodigy, at 39 Joshua Bell has arrived as an internationally acclaimed virtuoso. Emerging from the metro at the L'Enfant Plaza station at 7:51 a.m. on Friday, January 12, the middle of the morning rush hour ( the heart of federal Washington ) and position himself against a wall beside a trash basket. A young white man in jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. From a small case, he removed a violin ( whose price tag was reported to be about $3.5 million ). Placing the open case at his feet, he shrewdly threw in a few dollars and pocket change as seed money, swiveled it to face pedestrian traffic, and began to play.

In the next 43 minutes, as the violinist performed six classical pieces, 1,097 people passed by. Each passerby had a quick choice to make. Do you stop and listen? Do you hurry past with a blend of guilt and irritation, aware of your cupidity but annoyed by the unbidden demand on your time and your wallet? Do you throw in a buck, just to be polite? Does your decision change if he's really bad? What if he's really good?

But on that Friday in January, Joshua Bell was just another mendicant, competing for the attention of busy people on their way to work. $32.17 was obtained when he could easily perform in a Symphony Hall, with a pretty good seat going for $100.

What a story told by my pastor this sunday. He teaches me a lesson that despite leading a busy and hectic life, i should stop and appreciate the beautiful things that are happening around me.
