how to deal with exam stress?

BLOG! yes... and what do you do when you do not have anything to blog about? You start posting bo-liao photos. I was looking throught my photos and found some of these photos that i wanted to blog abt but somehow they failed to make their way to my blog. So here they are:

Talking abt exam stress, my fren's bf very sweet. Bought her giant pockey to relieve her stress. i am so jealous. But i decided to console myself that my bf oso very sweet. He gave me this candy stick during christmas after we had a big fight. But i din managed to get it from him until very long later coz he passed to my juniors to give me but i wasnt' at the new year dinner.

Instead of studying, I was out having lunch with my friends. We went PS to have high tea buffet. It was at this place called 老北京. I thought the food was just alright and it was a bit ex to pay 18 for so little variety. But there were some interesting stuff about the place.

First, they have a super authentic looking menu. Looks like some manual right?

The food of the day. My friends they all keep taking plates after plates of it. I refused to eat it. You know why? Coz it those 三cen肉. So fattening....

The next interesting thing was the popiah. We got to make them ourselves. haha.. so fun. Everytime at home its always my aunt making it for me. This time i got to try on my own.

The ingredients come in such a tray. So we get to mix everything we want of dun want together.

My popiah in the making. Found anything missing? haha.. yar.. the vegetable is missing. I did not see it on the table until i have finished putting my bean sprouts.

Yeah! Presenting to you.. my completed popiah. Taste good and look good too right?
Some random photos...

One day in school, 3 silly girls decided that they want to eat cup noodles. So here we are, with 3 bowls of cup noodles and a packet of soup. yummy.. but better not let mummy see.. she is going to nag me for not taking care of myself again...This girl is the sis of a student in the class next door on Mondays. haha.. she is very cute right? So pretty with such big eyes. Look a bit like a cartoon character hor?The cutest child in the world. My cousin! He is so funny. We were playing badminton at the court and he took the racket and play guitar. Elvis in the making...

Fish & Co

After some discussion, we decided to meet for dinner to celebrate Sharon's birthday on Saturday. Initially planned on a lot of places but in the end we went to PS and eat Fish & Co. And the attendance was pretty impressive. There were a total of 14 ppl wor! and 6 guys! (Fyi, my clique only have girls and there are 15 of us, including one in US now) At first we wanted Sharon to bring her bf along coz we nv see him b4. Den she wants us to bring all my bfs along so he wun feel so weird. Initially i tot only km coming. In the end, everyone's bf came!! including mine. haha.. thanks dear! He do not usually go out with my friends. So sweet of him to go with me. *muack* love you.. i gotta thank Citibank too. Without his credit card and the free drink at Fish & Co, he probably wun come.

Anyway, back to the food, very long never eat Fish & Co liao, still taste as nice as ever. BUT, i really wonder what's wrong with some ppl. They simply wun get fat. I eat the way they do, i cannot fit into my clothes in one week. After Fish & Co, Jo complained she still not full. Mind you, she and her bf shared a seafood platter for two. Usually i eat tt with hz i always cannot finish the food. And after dinner, Xiling suggests that we go Gelare and I had ice cream while Jo ate waffle! OMG.. she is a cow.. with 7 stomachs. haha..

As usual, there was a lot of photos. haha.. Xiling bluff Sharon she never took the photo of her bf kissing her. But actually she was taking a video. wahahaha. But it was so sweet. Her bf was so sporting. I decided not to post the photo here to save her the embarassment. Anyway, Xiling was trying to take a photo of me and hz but the camera simply would not focus. There was a total of 9 blurred photos taken. haha.. it was so funny. We were like the models of the day. Finally Duan Bao managed to find a way to get the camera to focus and got a photo of us.

Anyway, here are some photos of the evening.

Everyone were patiently waiting for the food. The place was freezing cold and I was super hungry....

Presenting to you, the couples...

Finally, my dear and me. I still thought hz was very sweet. hehe.. thanks darling!
Besides couples, we have some les for the night too. Presenting to you... the not so straight ppl..

The 9 blurred photos. None of them would focus. If only they can. Coz i think some of the photos might turn out quite nice.
The first focused photo taken for the night. The girls. Yu Lei was so happy that she can stand at the back coz she was wearing heels. The ultimate winner was still Sarah coz her heels were real high...
The gentlemen of the day. What a wide variety of colours.. haha..
Table shot of everyone. Mitchell was the chairman of this dinner. This dinner looks like some match-making with so many couples. haha..
There's xiling posing proudly with her ice-cream. Her bf like to disturb her. Got another photo oso but i was too ugly in the photo so i decided not to post it. hehe....

Jo's waffle. Actually look quite nice hor? I am really surprised with the amount of things that she can eat. Amazing. And she finished her waffle even faster than i finished my waffle basket.

Last day of school before the exams...

Looking back over what i have written over the past one month, i realised that i haven been updating very often. Cannot really blame me for not updating. I am so much reports and assignments to hand in that i nearly went mad with reports. Here I am, still suffering from the after effects of lab reports and exams are already coming! omg.. shit...

anyway, this week is the first week that i do not have to hand in any reports and last week, we had a little celebration in school. Haha.. no lah.. actually it was to celebrate Chew Hwee and Sharon's birthday. We had a funnily decorated cake by Xiling and XinYing. And Jo was too stressed she had some alcohol with py in school and looked like a lobster after that. We had a lot of photos as usual and we even recorded a super long video for Grace. Hope that she will get the video soon.

Here's some photos.

The "ugly" cake. Saw the mess at the bottom of the cake. Its supposed to be S for Sharon and Q for Qiuhui. They kept remind sharon that its not SQ for Siqi.

Saw the very short stick? The birthday girls are supposed to pick them up. Not too hard right? (",)

Here's sharon making a brave attempt.

And that's chew hwee. Great job girls!

Caught in the act. Jo with her "apple juice".

Me as the cake girl. As usual.

Look grace! We left a pc of cake for you. But since you cannot have it, sharon finished it for you.

Group photo! But we are missing anne and grace...

Exams are here!! But they will be over in no time. Hang in there girls!

Some photos...

Okay okay.. here are the photos that i promised.. i took more than 1 week to post all of them and its not a lot of photos. Its so hard to post photos on blogspot. if anyone found a better and faster way, please let me know ok? thanks!

My trip to Biopolis
The first thing which we saw that tells us that we are on the right track. Don't you think the word "Biopolis" is a bit too small? And do not think the 3 figures are quite dumb, they are actually made up of all the different buildings in biopolis. Look at the map and you will understand.

That's me with the biopolis as the background. Dresscode for the day was smart casual and there are still people who turned up in jeans and three-quarters. Luckily this photo cannot see me very clearly. I think i look weird in the photo.

The map of biopolis. There are 7 buildings altogether. Namely, Proteos, Nanos, Matrix, Centros, Chromos, Helios and Genome.

This is actually found at the bottom of the map on top. It tells you what each building has and from there, you can basically guess what is each building doing.

The Matrix building. It was where our seminar was held.

This should be the first thing that anyone notice the moment they walked into the building. But apparently all 3 of us were cocked-eyed. We only saw it during the break. Can anyone guess what does each picture represent? Each picture represent each of the building in biopolis. Bio students should not have a big problem guessing. Esp biomolecular trained students.

Have you guessed it? Here are the answers...

Another very impressive thing in the building is this DNA structure. Its built to perfection, with each atom in the DNA structure accurately represented. Including the different bases. And we found something amazing. Even the different number of hydrogen bonds are represented! Here's the CG triple bond. Look out for the white circles. Of the bond is behind the pole.
This is more obvious, the AT double bond.
A simpler and more elegant DNA structure that could be found on nearly every level of the building.
Welcome to BioBiz 2006!

The auditorium where the talk was held. Very cozy chairs.. i feel asleep for 2 hrs during the seminar. Even the toilets are very pretty. Look at the signs of the toilets they are also made up of the different buildings in the place.
They even have handicapped toilets. Do not anyhow use wor.. later get complained..

My very tasty doughnuts

After the seminar i went to meet hz at orchard and i bought tasty doughnuts home. Very pretty packaging hor? But cannot buy too often, very 心痛 coz its quite ex..

The IT show

After a busy weekend for biobiz, its the IT show. And i bought my printer. Sooooo happy. I have long wanted a colour printer... and now i got a three in one.

That's the trolley i used to bring it home. Luckily got this trolley. If not dunno how to bring 3 printers back home...

My printer in the original casing. I am now the proud owner of a Epson Stylus CX4100.

Everything that was contained within the package. There! Its comfortably housed on my computer table. I took a very long time to decide where to put it. It was a lot bigger than i expected...

personality test

i was reading a friend's blog when i stumbled upon this personality test. Haven been doing one for a long while so i decided to try and i found that it's pretty accurate.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

i am useless

great.. i am so useless. I was originally very angry with hz den i decided that i want to ignore him until he call me. BUT, i felt so super stressed up that i decided to ask him out. So useless of me. But meeting him really make me feel better. Although i wasn't in a good mood today and we nearly started a quarrel because of me. Anyway, we went to watch a movie "Yours, mine & ours". A very nice show. Except that i think its too short. But it was very funny and yet very touching. Relaxing show.

well, so after being AP for a while, time to get back to my reports. Dunno what to write. sigh..

i am so worned out...

sorry to all my loyal readers who came back here day after day only to realise that there haven been any updates. I am so busy and I am feeling so worned out. I haven got time to rest and work keep piling up one on top of another. I am so stressed up! I dread coming to schoo. I dread my computer and i just dread waking up to another day in school.

Let me jus update you guys on what have i been doing. I will post photos later when i have time to upload them.

After my irritating 7 hours with an assignment, that weekend was a busy one. 4th mar was RV mock com and i had a day of rushing around coz i have to be in RV at 7am for the com and back in Yishun at 1230 for tuition den fly back to JE for meeting. Sun, 5th Mar, was my bro's birthday but in the end i went out with my bf and his gang for sushi at Lot 1 and went westmall to watch Underworld Evolution. I did not really understood the show since i did not watch part 1 and the only impression i had of the show was that it was super bloody but the female lead had a great figure coz there was a pretty sensual sex scene.

Following week got no assignment or wat to hand in but i have lotsa other stuff to do.

7 Mar(Tues): SBS day so in order to accomodate the events of the day. I had a lecture at 830am! and the second lect was at 330pm. Long break in between to attend talks and take part in events. I attended this talk by my professor and the only conclusion that i got out of the talk is that i have to do my Ph.D. If not there will not be much jobs available and if i do my Ph.D, most likely i am not going to get married early.

9 Mar (Thurs) was my facial appointment. It was a rush day too coz it was right after class and after facial i went down to Suntec for the IT fair to help my cousin to look at computer. I dunno what happened that day but i was super tired after the facial instead of feeling relaxed. I got a terrible headache and a fever when i got home and i jus went to bed without bathing.

10 Mar (fri) i din go to school but i went IT show with my aunties and uncles. Was supposed to meet my SJ frens at Holland V but in the end i could not make it coz we stayed there till very late. It was a fruitful day coz we bought 3 printers (1 for each of my 2 other cousins and 1 for myself), 1 LCD screen, 2 binoculors and some photo papers.

11 Mar(Sat): I had this biobiz seminar at Biopolis. As we had to upload resume, i only finished my resume at 3am and i have to wake up the next morning at 630am coz i have to make up and stuff and i am meeting my friends at 815am at buona vista mrt station. So.. i was so tired for the entire talk. The seminar was pretty interesting even though there were boring speakers and i feel asleep for 1hr after lunch due to the after lunch syndrome. After the talk, i went orchard to meet my bf for a while and i bought nice nice doughnuts home from Taka.

12 Mar(Sun): i went sim lim to help my cousin buy a system. Talking abt it, i am so angry.......... my boyfriend fly my kite. Irritated. He left me there alone and i felt so bullied by the bad ppl at the place. Luckily my friend recommended a good shop for my and in the end i bought from that place.

Sigh.. another week has past and its a busy week again.

14 Mar(Tues) and 15 Mar(Wed). 1 assignment and 1 report dued one after the other. Luckily the assignment was not so hard to do. I finished it in about 4 hours so i only skipped the 306 lecture in the morn. But gg for the afternoon lecture oso not much difference coz i wasn't listening at all. The report on Wed was more terrible. There was so much information to process and even though i did most of it in school, leaving only the results and discussion to do at home, i only managed to finish my report at 4am. Since i have class on wed at 930 and i have to go to school on my own, i only have about 3hrs of sleep. Wed was a taxing day coz it was com lab and i had tuition. After which i promised to help my cousin set up and install her computer.

16 Mar(Thurs): I went back to RV to pack the nursing stuff for the FAC committee to pick up on Fri to bring over to JT. I couldn't find time to go back earlier so in the end i had to do a lot of last min stuff. Felt so bad coz my kids have to do the things. After that i went to Bugis Village for Pilates classes. Pretty interesting. I think i should go back for more classes. I get toned without sweating much.

17 Mar(Fri): The first time in a very long time since i got home before the sun sets But i still went out in the evening to buy dinner and to buy some stuff to make for my kids for their competition on Sat. In the end i finished the stuff at 2am and after doing some of my own things, i slept at 4am but i have to wake up at 7am coz i need to reach JT at 830am.

18 mar(Sat): The First Aid competition. Pretty cocked up but my cadets were not affected much. The results was quite well but we lost NC again to JV. Come to think of it, i think the NC category is cursed. We lost it many times already.

19 Mar(Sun): A visit to the Surya Home. Another early day since i have to reach JE at 830am. Actually it was a pretty boring day coz we din have much to do. But its sad to look at the old ppl but i am glad at least they have ppl to look after them. After the visit i still have to go for tuition but i was so tired i kept falling asleep in class while my students were doing their work. AND i was waiting for him to call but he didn't. So after watching Super Idol (which Bryan won!), i went to bed without calling.

Yesterday i had tuition. So today, here i am with another busy week ahead of me. I have 2 reports dued tmr. Of which, i have yet to finish a single one. I have another report due and a quiz next week. The week after next, i also have another 2 reports to hand in. And guess what? I have 2 more weeks to exams.

ARGH.. can u understand how much i hate my school? They pack all the reports, assigments, quiz and reports towards exams and exhaust us out, leaving us no energy to study for exams. Cant they plan the timetable better? The school sucks. I seriously encourage students who want to come to my school to consider. You need great passion to survive. I am dying already. So is my passion.

What kind of rubbish is this? The person has to be at least a graduate? Discriminating.. Graduates do not mean anything. I can name a few dozens of my friends who are not graduates but are very nice people. And the good purpose? I think this is silly.

shoot me...

well... as the title says.. I ought to be shot. I was in school the whole day but I never got for a single lesson. Why? Coz.. I was busy trying to finish my assignment. I really think that I am getting stupid. I jus spent 7 excruciating hrs trying to do 10 questions... And I only handed in 5 minutes before time. Sigh... either i am getting stupid or the things are getting harder..

tmr is another mad day.. a lab report.. my most dreaded thing in the world.. sigh.. headache lah... better get started on it...
