shopping day 2!

Yesterday met huimin for shopping.. i din buy anything but huimin bought a top from levi's in the end. And they gave her a paper bag!! i oso want... sian.. i bought so many things from there never got paper bag before. I was very tired yesterday plus my bag was really heavy so i never really got mood to see. Only saw a pair of shoes that i like but since i am returning to orchard with my brother today so i never buy.

Today i brought my 2 brothers shopping for clothes. Quite a good day coz we bot a pair of jeans for my younger brother and a pair of shoes each for both of my brothers. But we took very long to find a pair of jeans for my dear brother coz he's very picky. And most of the ones he wants have no size for him. But its really fun to be shopping with my brothers coz they are so funny... esp the bigger one... but i realised that my brothers are getting older... means i m turning old oso.. sigh...

going shopping again tmr....

irritated

okay.. great.. from 12 drag to 23rd.. den now drag to 26th.. i m getting dry loh... irritating....say before new year really before new year. 3 days before new year! Great.. luckily i no need them to buy my new year clothes.. or else i will scream.. but i am still very irritated!!! pissed... i think i m pms-ing.. terrible mood...

new year is coming!

I have irritating lecturers. First, they do not know how to post notes. They give me notes with GREY backgrounds and i have to edit everything on my own and they like to post notes with 2 slides on a page. Second, they like to waste my time. The other time, a lecturer made everyone come back to school on a Friday MORNING for a 10 MINUTES lecture. Today, my lecturer made me come to school at 9.30am and asked me to surf the web!! Wah.. like i do not have internet access at home loh. Waste my time. Dunno why am i paying so much school fees for. Luckily, CNY is coming so my mood is slightly better.

Haven been blogging for the past few days. Wanted to post over the weekend but was too tired. Last night, i slept at 2.30am coz i was too busy editing 2 sets of notes. By the time i am done, i am so tired that i do not want to touch my keyboard anymore. Do not have time on sat night as well coz i got home late and cannot stay up too late coz sunday got tuition.

This week quite sian coz i was sick. Tues got st john so i nv go to school coz got a lot of things to bring to st john plus i m meeting my jc clique in the evening. Decided to stay at home and pack my last sem's notes. By the time i am done with the notes, i was sneezing like mad loh. Dunno if its the dust or its the air. Anyway, i thought i would be feeling better later on but it got worst towards the end of the day. By the time i was meeting my clique, i am sneezing on the average once every 5 mins. Felt so terrible over the past few days that i have to skip my aerobics class on wednesday.

Talking abt meeting my jc clique. We met at essential brews for a super belated birthday celebration for eli. Supposed to have 4 of us but ting last min say cannot come. again loh. We change the time twice to accomodate her and still.. she nv come. So disappointing. I think she dun like us.. if not why she always dun want to meet us. But anyway, luckily she nv come. Or else she will kill us coz we spent a lot. When the bill came, the 3 of us were shocked. After discounts, we spent $27 each. I think we really ordered a lot. We had a drink each(so its 3 drinks), 1 fish and chips, 1 steak, 1 plate of baby potatoes, 1 tofu steak, 1 cake for eli, 1 apple crumble and 1 grand irish trio (liquid chocolate with liquor and almond nuts. pretty special). haha.. sounds a great deal for 3 girls right? well.. that explains our size.

And chinese new year is coming! but i haven pack my room. Shit loh. Today got tuition, tmr gg to ah yi's place to pluck eyebrow, Wed got no class but i want to go shopping. Still have to bring my bro to buy clothes and shoes loh. Left only thurs and friday. But i still want to do manicure and colour my hair. Maybe i can skip and save money lah. I think i shall skip friday's lecture and stay at home. Or else mummy will nag at me like mad one loh.. dun want... But i am really looking forward to new year coz i have money! This year i got big ang bao coz daddy applied for this Toh Clan Association and i got the scholarship so i am a couple of hundreds richer. Yeah yeah! And new year daddy say we all go batam. I can eat seafood! Plus my extra holidays for new year. Great year! I hope the year ahead will be the same too. Next year this time, i will be in my final sem already. So fast.....

another day of WORMS! omg...

I had another day with worms today! If last week was bad, i think this week is even worse or at least equally bad. I spent 2 hrs looking at worms! This time, we are not looking at them having fun or sex, but we are trying to look for mutated worms. Some are short n fat, some dunno how to move, some are too long and some have blisters on them. OMG... disgusting.. i hate c. elegans.

But, before we start looking for the mutated worms, we had to look at our worms from last week. OMG... those were the worst.. they gave me a shock of my life and made my hair stand, even as i am typing this coz their image jus popped into my head. We were supposed to find more worms on our plates coz we allowed them to propagate. And mind you, its not 2 or 3 worms more okay? Its 200 - 2000 worm per worm that you put onto the plate. I put like 4 so i have near to 8000 worms!!!!! omg... At first i thought my worms died coz i cannot see them with my eyes (some of them are actually big enough to see by the naked eyes). But my partner and I still decided that we should try and see. So i put them on the platform and start to focus. The moment the plate come into focus, i see dozens of long slimy worms crawling on the plate. OMG..... i was scared out of my life. I immediately pushed my chair away from the microscope and i refuse to touch that plate for the rest of the lab session. YUCKS!!! okay.. i wanted to post a photo but i cannot even stand looking at it. Interested ppl can type c. elegans and google for images.

But my weekend was quite nice. I went for Mr Jevin's 22nd birthday party on saturday and although i was complaining about it, i am pretty glad i went for the party coz i had real fun. Not that the party was nice, but the class was fun. I got to know the people in my class better, esp the guys.. Although i felt that my class guys are so damn childish at times, they are really very funny ppl to be with. They always like to joke around and its so fun jus listening to their crap.

Den sunday i went for tuition den amore class at Parco. But i think i sort of hurt my feet. It hurts quite a bit now. I hope it recovers soon so that i can go for my class on wednesday... I went to the Guan Yin temple to pray too. That temple is really very ling.... Not that i am very superstitiousbut some things are jus too coincidental to be true... And i bought a nice top from ebase. Considering whether to let that be my new year top but i feel fat in it.. but its very nice.. haha...

tmr's a busy day. I am still considering if i should go to school for lecture coz i am gg back to rv in the afternoon and its full u. Den in the evening i am meeting my jc gang for dinner... tired...

friday the thirteen

despite today being the so-called unlucky day, we were quite lucky while we were shopping.. I am feeling pretty pleased with myself now.

Today's a sunny day!! After nearly a week of rain. I guess it must be the sun. That's why we were so lucky.. Anyway... Lesson ended at 430 but it dragged a bit so huimin was waiting for me. By the time we reached orchard, it was 6pm. We immediately went into topmen to look for jevin's present and we found wat we want!!! At a very reasonable price. woohoo.. so happy.. So we happily went upstairs to look for our things. But sad to say, we din find anything nice to buy. After that we went food republic to eat hokkien mee, oyster omlette and toast bread. Yummmy.. But by the time we finished eating, it was already 9 plus but luckily isetan was still open. So we went isetan to shop ard... And we were pretty lucky coz isetan close at 1030pm so we shopped for a very long time.. haha... In the end, huimin bot a top that have a saying which suits her a great deal and i bought a bag jus so that we can get a 20% off. But that bag is nice lah.. haha.. so another bag to my collection.

but tmr's is gg to be a busy day.. and i cant go for aerobics class. ARGH.. i m so FAT!!!

totally unproductive day

I met huimin for shopping today. We were supposed to buy a birthday present for jevin, who's celebrating his 22nd birthday this sat. yes, its 22nd.. I nv type wrongly. Do not ask me why he is celebrating his 21st birthday a year later coz I oso dunno (i choose to think of it this way coz I really cannot think of a single reason why would anyone have a 22nd birthday party). I shall ask him this sat and update. Other than Mr Jevin, I still have 2 other presents to buy. One for Yong Kiat, whom I have not given a single present since we knew each other coz the poor boy has his birthday on the 1st of January. It is always the time of the year when I will be busy rushing homework instead of thinking of his present. The other is for jq. He's always so nice to me so I felt really bad not getting him a present. But I have been searching for so long and yet still cannot find a single decent present for him.

So, we met after my class at 330 and went down to Suntec to shop. Suntec was our goal but we took a long time to reach there. We arrived at City hall at 6pm and we had dinner at Raffles City. Then we went levi's to see hm's top and did some shopping as Esprit. We went swatch to see watches but nothing suitable or within budget for him. We later proceeded to Suntec at 7pm and shopped along city link. We went time club to see watch but nv see anything nice den I went addidas to see Yong Kiat's present and saw something quite nice but decided to buy later since we wun meet so early. At least I sort of settled 1 present. Finally we arrived at Suntec but we spend 1 hr plus shopping in Dorothy Perkins and Topshop coz huimin wants to use her 20% birthday discount. BUT we bought nothing. At 9pm, we were so shocked that it's already so late we decided to stop shopping at Topshop and try other shops. We went guess, Fox, gio and Iora but never see anything. Anyway....we only went to the ladies section lah. So yar.. nothing for jevin again.

Sigh. In the end....we never settle jevin's present and nv got anything for ourselves. What a great day...sian....den tmr we still have to meet to buy jevin's present. This time we decided to go Orchard. Sigh....it better not rain. Today has been raining for the whole day and I was so cold....JEVIN....you are so troublesome!!! Why do you have to celebrate 22nd birthday?? HUIMIN… tmr we must buck up.. MUST find the present...if not we go condom house and get him assorted condoms lah....

first post of the year

i have been thinking of getting a new year post. Thought of posting a little review of the year and myself and some new year resolutions. 可是就是没有灵感... so i decided to skip until i got the mood to write.

Anyway, today was an interesting day. I had my first lab session for the year and we played around with worms. We looked at their anatomy, watch them swim and even watched them have sex. (",) After that, we even have to do match-making. But i think i killed a lot of worms in the process. After a lot of tries, we finally managed to recognise the males and females and pathetically transfer like a couple of them onto a fresh plates for mating. I hope i get something the next time i see them...

After that we had a lecture by a supposedly famous guy, David Lane but i was asleep for nearly 50% of the lecture... after class still got tuition.. so tired...

Tomorrow is holiday! and wednesday got no class so i have a longer holiday.. so happy!! I am going to enjoy myself before i come back to school for lab reports and

But felt better at reds. Coz doreen’s always so funny. But I waited like 2 hrs to cut my hair. Sigh.. nvm lah.. used to it liao. After we cut hair, hm and I went to buy her foundation coz that girl oso suay like me. Her sister broke her foundation in the morn so she cannot use. We went seiyu and guess wat? OUT OF STOCK.. well well….

After seiyu, I went to taka to find my auntie while hm went Tangs and managed to find her foundation. Everyone was waiting for me coz I need to use my aunt’s credit card to buy hm’s watch den got discount. How great.. When I finally got there the stupid sales person told me that watch was sold. JUST SOLD THAT MORNING! Wah lau. I cant believe my luck. How nice. And the stupid sales ppl (Yes, ppl coz got 2 sales persons) so damn rude loh. I am going to boycott that place mah. WTH…. I am a paying customer okay? Shit you……….. So in the end, my aunts they all so nice, walk ard with me to see if got other places got discounts or not. Mind you, we were bringing a baby, 4 kids and 2 teenagers plus me, and my 3 aunts. In the end, I finally found a solution. So paiseh loh… still got to get my aunt pay for me coz I no money to pay first. Sigh.. think I owe her a favour liao...

When we were leaving the car park, car cannot get out coz cash card no money. Only short of 1 buck loh. Sigh.. think I pass my bad luck to them.. sian….

Sigh.. din end the day very well oso.. sigh… sian..

some penang photos

After a few days.. i finally managed to upload all the photos that i intended to put..

Our first tourist stop is this bee museum. You get to drink free honey but the tour guide gets commission for us buying honey. Honey very ex leh... RM70 per bottle. But they taste really good...

Here are my cousins.. dun they simply look so cute???
The literally 双峰(蜂)塔.

Malacca stop on the first day. Taken at the bottom of a hill.

Taken outside the Red House, after we managed to conquer the hill. Nothing much on top except a churh loh. But we bought a lot of key chains as souvenirs.
Something interesting i saw while walking along the streets of Malacca. Guess what is it for? Its a brush wor. As in the brush to wash ur pots kind of brush. Looks like corn right?
We arrived at KL for the night and before we left KL, we were brought to this Choc Boutique to spend money again...
Lunch on the way to Penang. This is the "Golden Pillow". Its actually bread stuffed with curry. OMG... damn nice loh.. yummy...
There's the infamous Penang Bridge. Our main purpose for travelling so far on bus instead of gg there by plan.
On the bridge.
First stop in Penang, the Penang Hill. Its really a tall hill leh.. unlike our Bukit Timah Hill....
There's the first cable car tt's supposed to bring up to midhill while we change to another cable car.
That's the night view on top of the hill. You can see the Penang Bridge so clearly. The air up there is so fresh and cool and the view was breath-taking...
Dinner was at their coffeeshop which essentially have all their shops by the roadside. This oyster omelette is one of the best man.... oysters a lot... nice nice....

2nd day in penang was all the temple visiting..

The first temple we visited was the sleeping buddha. No Photos taken inside so i only managed to get the head. But the buddha span the whole temple...

2nd temple was the Kek Lok Si Temple. From very far away, we can already see the majestic Guan Yin and the Pagoda.

That's the Pagoda. The first thing that will greet you after you finally managed to climb up the hill to the temple. The climb is not that bad coz you get to shop along the way. So you wun feel like you are doing a long long climb...
Part of the wall in the Pagoda. Very pretty right? Only the first few levels are pretty lah.. the top few a bit old. Coz not many ppl actually go up there i think....
That's the big bronze Guan Yin.
Look how small i am compared to it.
Last temple is the snake temple. Got real snakes wor!! Vipers leh.... Spot the snakes in front. No one dares to go near them loh...
Shopping in Penang. In the background is their Raffles City, Komtar. Got a lot of things but din really have mood to shop coz got a lot of ppl.. quite sian..
Dinner was at a seafood restaurant. Not nice one.... but quite fun lah.. look how big the prawns are!! Too bad i din get to try them.. i only get to eat pathetic little prawns...
The cousins.. 3 are not here...
The Penang Laksa. Not nice one.. at least coz i dun like lah...
The white coffee.. very very nice... wow!!
Something funny i found in Penang. The bank has a weird name. The chinese name is not too bad coz it read 公众银行. But the Eng name cannot make it lah... quite funny.. 3rd day. We left Penang already. Visited the Perak Hole. I am standing at the opening...We climbed a lot loh.. but i din reach the top coz i cannot climb liao.. but near the top got this super big 佛. I am so tiny.....
That's how tall the hill is.. we started all the way from the real bottom. I nearly reached the top but i was really too tired liao..

Last day shopping in KL. The indoor roller coaster at Berjaya Times Square. I should have gone to the amusement park to play instead of shopping. Nothing much to see loh.. sad sad...

Look! Even got 360 degrees turn one wor... Its very fast and looks really trilling..

Last dinner overseas before we make our way home. The entire gang. Include our tour guide and our bus drivers and my little cousin who decided to stay in KL with her aunt instead of gg Penang with us...

7 birthday parties down, 1 more to go!

Wow.. i haven had an update for so long.. really very very lazy.. photos are coming up soon. Once i get ard to posting them here. Posting photos on blogspot very troublesome lah.. maybe i post somewhere else den let you all see.

Anyway, i went for 3 birthday parties this weekend, plus another 2 of my bestest friends which i will never miss for anything in the world, one of my cousin and a uni fren. Total of 7 in 3 weeks.

My cousin's 12th birthday party started off my chain of parties. Another big family gathering. I love family gatherings. So noisy and fun. The highlight of the party was this piñata in the shaped of some cartoon Duel Master. In case for old ppl like me who dunno wat's a piñata , you can check out it's history here. Anyway, its supposed to be a big empty thing filled with sweets and stuff. The game if to break the thing and to get the stuff inside lah. Dun sound interesting but its actually quite fun. Even old ppl like me enjoyed it. It feels so good to be young again.

The 2nd one was grace's party. Took us a very long time to get into the place coz it was so ulu and the fast took very super long to come. After that we realised why coz there is only 1 bus for the entire service. Anyway, it was at this temasek club. Jus a little appeal to all my dear frens, if for any case you all need a party or wat, please choose a more accessible place ok? Back to the party, the food was pretty good and the place was quite nice lah. We even got to play games like musical chairs and pass the parcel. Got forfeits one wor.. And we get party hats coz her theme was a madhatters' party. It was a really enjoyable party. After the party i met Joven to buy ailing's present. Settle in 30mins. haha.. so productive and ailing likes her present. But her card took us longer time to choose than her present..

The 3rd one was zhu8jie's party. She had it on the actual day loh. So happy that she decided to spend this special day with everyone. Joven and I were even super on time for the party loh. So proud of myself.. haha.. Anyway, we were all given a flower made by the birthday gal tt we were supposed to pin on our top. The st john gals were supposed to be her bbq kakis and we got special flowers. The whole night was quite busy coz the food a bit 供不应求. Not that there wasn't enough, but jus that we could not cook fast enough. After a whole night of bbq, we went out for KTV. Sang till 6am loh. The first time i went KTV with this bunch of gals. I was really amazed at a friend's singing power. She was so good!!!

4th party was Qiulin’s. She had it at her house and as usual, I was late and I dragged the guys down with me coz I was late for meeting the guys. I meant guys coz none of the 4D gals can make it for the party except pey yng but she's gg with CO. Her party was comfortable in the sense that i get a table and chairs. Quite nice catching up with the ppl since i din get to talk to them much during my party. And Qiulin liked her present. So happy... But sotong alvin revealed the price of the wallet in front of Qiulin which shocked her coz she tot it was too ex. Her present not ex lah. In fact, i had a lot of fun getting her present coz got a lot of sales even though her wallet was real hard to choose. We got her a sand coloured, braun buffel which was originally at 20% percent off but there is an additional 10% off for takashimaya VIP members. While py and I was making our way to the counter, this lady approached us and said that we can use her taka card in exchange for us to help her use her vouchers and pay her cash for it. I definitely dun mind coz we get another 10% off. We oso got her a book which she requested for. The book oso got discount coz I bought at popular and I have 20% off. I was so happy shopping for her present coz I am a real freak for discounts and we had so much discounts. I literally saved around $40 for her present. Happy day…

5th party and also the first party of the weekend was huiwen’s party. I went real late coz I had tuition and before tt, I was shopping for xiling’s present at Raffles City. Sigh.. I am always shopping for presents and paying for them and not getting my money back until I am so damn broke…The highlight of the party was at the cake cutting which I successfully managed to push her head into the cake a little…But the cream got into her eyes.. so sorry.. anyway, the cake was made by her friends loh, so sweet..

The next party was on sat and belongs to Ms Xiling. It was the only party I bothered to wear nice nice so far. I had real fun playing with xiaoxin loh. She’s so damn cuteeeeeeeeee…… And xl looks great in the pair of jeans we got for her. I hope she really likes it…I literally tried out the whole store’s jeans and had a long long phone conversation with mit before I settled on a pair for her.

My last party that I have attended was Amanda’s party. It was the first 7A party that I have gone to and its had a theme: A Venetian Affair. As expected, Amanda was the only one really in the theme and she really looked so pretty that night. For me, I 勉强 a bit tried to fit the theme by turning up in a lacy top. At first I din wanted to go but I thought that since she invited me, I should really give her some face. The party was in a super ulu place tucked right in the heart of sixth ave loh. Her parents booked the whole restaurant for the night and they paid a lot for each person loh. Rich ppl… Anyway, the food was real good!!!!!! I loved the tiramisu. OMG… its super super super nice…… Her cake was very nice too. There was also this party mask that was part of the deco that I really liked. Amanda’s father took it down for me and all of us had fun taking photos with it. I kind of enjoyed amanda’s party. Jus that it’s a very different class of party that I have attended so far…

I have 1 last birthday party to attend before it is the end of the year. Yeah!! No more birthday parties! But the coming up party is gg to keep me real busy.. quite sian.. I have already spent 1 day making banner for tt 大小姐.

Well well well… a super long blog to make up to those who are loyal readers of my blog. I will be back with photos, once I get ard to loading them onto blogspot…

post exams event

i have been so lazy to blog so I haven been updating abt my life.. since I am waiting for my phone to be charged so that I can charge my camera, I shall blog a bit abt wat happened after the last day of exams.

Penang trip
Right after my exams, I left for Penang with my family. We stopped over at KL on our way there and back. KL was a nice place to shop coz everything’s so nice and most stuff are cheap. Due to the exchange rate, it seems like everything in M’sia is 50% off. Wow!! So cool.. haa… And I really like mid valley but its jus too bad that I missed their year end sale. Anyway, I think I will be back!! Anyone wants to go with me next year or something?

KL and shopping aside, the trip itself was quite okay. I jus felt as though I spend a lot of time on the bus. Anyway, some quick updates abt the trip. I will post the photos another time.

We booked our trip with a tour agency so we had a tour guide to bring us around. Got good and bad lah. Good thing is that we dun have to worry abt getting lost. Bad thing is that the tour guide keep making us spend money. And the food they planned was always the same except for a few variations here and there. At the end of the trip, I was so scared of prawns and fish that I refuse to touch anything for 2 days.

Day 1: We visited a bee museum and got to drink honey for free. Very nice.. but the honey very expensive, costs RM 70 per bottle. Spend money again…. But the peranakan meal is quite nice. Probably one of the better ones. Spent the first night in KL. Did not managed to do much shopping coz I dun want to bring up to penang and back but I promised myself a good shopping trip on the way home.

Day 2: Saw the Penang bridge and went up the penang hill. It was real nice and cooling on top of the hill. And the view was really spectacular. We even managed to catch the night scene and you get to see the bridge real clearly.

Day 3: Temple visiting day. We visited the Sleeping Buddha first. It was real big but unfortunately I cannot take photos. However it seems like there is an even bigger one in Thailand. Hope I can get to see it one day. After tt we went to Kek Lok Temple which was located on a hill. So we have to climb to get to the top. We went up the pagoda but it was so scary on top coz I felt like the floor was slanting and I felt as if I was going to fall off. We also visited the giant bronze Guan Ying. OMG.. its real real real big.. wait till you see the photo. We also visited a snake temple with real vipers. In the evening we went shopping at their version of “Raffle City”. It was a very run down version but it was bustling with life. It was quite small compared to KL but still, it has got quite a bit of things to shop. Unfortunately, I din get to buy much stuff except for ribbons which was real cheap! For supper, I went to search for my Penang Laksa. Found it but was quite disappointed coz I think its not nice. Sour sour one. Tried the white coffee too. Wow… very very nice!!

Day 4: Back to KL and was a whole day of traveling and shopping. Went to mid valley to shop. Very very very nice place except for the dumb BK person who took my order three times. After tt we went back to our hotel and went shopping at Sungei Wang.

Day 4: Shopping at Times Square. Quite disappointing lah coz got nothing much to buy. Should have tried the indoor amusement park instead. Seemed like much more fun…. Went back to SG in the afternoon. Missed home so much..... the next day after i got back from penang, i stayed at home the whole day to watch VCD.. finished the 海豚湾恋人 that i borrowed from xiling.

Amazing Race
I organized an amazing race for my RV cadets which was the reason I din want to go M’sia in the first place coz I have a lot of unsettled stuff. The day went pretty smoothly and i am so glad that my juniors enjoyed the event. They are even thinking of how to make their juniors go through the same thing again next year. Haha…. after the race i rushed down for a friend's wedding. It was the first time i attended a malay wedding and she was so pretty. But i spent a lot of money on taxi fare.. sian...

Birthday parties
Well.. now I have got tonnes of birthday parties to attend. I attended my cousin’s party on 2nd Dec and really enjoyed myself. I simply love family gatherings… I went for Grace’s party on 4th. Enjoyed myself oso.. haha.. coz got games and it was quite funny. I still got ailing’s party on the 8th, qiulin’s on the 10th ,huiwen’s on the 16th, xiling’s on the 17th and huimin’s on the 30th. Sigh… no money lah……

the beginning to the end? or the end to the beginning?

okay.. i finally finished my dreaded exams today... but the problem is.. i am not feeling happy at all. In fact, i feel quite bad....I think its all because of 305 . Everyone said it was easy except for me. Well basically its all my fault lah.. i spend 4 days on the super not important stuff and only 1 day on all the important stuff. Actually i did not realised tt the not important stuff are not important until this morn. sigh.. anyway.. the paper was basically throwing everything in the textbook and notes back to him. Which includes tiny prints..... But.. there are a hell lot of stuff to remember and i have a bad memory that is getting worst. I probably forgot like 70% of the stuff that i remember. The remaining 10% that i remembered came from vague memories from JC stuff and only 20% came from uni notes. What's wrong with them? why cant they jus give us MCQ?? i rather do tt anytime than 20 5 marks questions anytime!!

304 was even worst. But i felt better when i came out of the hall coz everyone felt the same as me... sigh... there was actually THREE phylogenetics questions and the last one was an exact replica of last year's and our tutorial this year. But the problem is, no one knows how to solve that question coz its not found in our notes even though our lecturer insists that it is and refuses to give us answer. He probably jus pure lazy..... Anyway, i jus hope that the answer my friend found is correct. And i even had sleeping beauty in my paper. He actually asked us to calculate the number of F0 and F3 generations required to detect a particular protein. WTH.... never teach in class loh.. NO ONE has EVER taught us how to calcualte such stuff. I thought they are supposed to modulate the papers? How can they allow such questions to get through? What on earth are they doing... getting more and more irritated with NTU each day..... if anyone found out how to do that question.. please let me know coz i am very curious...

so.. turns out that my most longed end to everything is probably the beginning to something worse...

anyway.... in 6 more hours, i will be leaving for penang. haha... very fast right? I am going for holiday with my family. Din want to go coz i jus finished exams and i really want to sleep and slack. But my uncle cannot go so my family din want to waste the vacanies so got my siblings and me to go loh. A lot of ppl want me to buy hor fan and laksa loh.. wah lau... see how lah.. haha.... But I will take lotsa photos and show you guys when i am back.. hehe.. a bit excited about the trip...

Penang! here i come..

weekend = blog time

this time next week i will be M'sia enjoying my holidays!!! yeah!! i am so looking forward to it..2 more papers cleared and 2 more to come. I will be free on the 24th at 12noon when the invigilator says stop writing.. woohoo!!!

anyway.. some updates abt my papers first... anyway.. side-track a bit first. coz i tot it was quite funny. Yesterday my dad asked me wat paper i taking tmr(which is today) den i dunno how to explain. How do you tell him principles and methods of structural biology? So i told him Maths paper since its rather near the truth as 303 got a lot of maths. Den he asked yesterday leh? Hmmm... i oso dunno how to tell him read research papers. Since its like english so i told him eng paper. Den he very funny.. coz he said.. den monday leh? chinese ah? haha.. i tot it was so funny coz i felt like a pri sch kid.. having eng and maths papers.. anyway.. back to the topic.

302: Research Seminars
this module basically teach us how to write and read research papers. so for the exam paper, we are supposed to read a paper and ans questions. We got to write an abstract in 100 words, a title (usually less than 10 words lah) and some comments in under 200 words regarding the contribution of the findings of this paper. The second part of the paper is some english and grammer questions which were all give-aways. Anyway.. the sian thing is that my lecturer, who's a very nice person, was super generous with marks. Effectively, i got 70 marks for writing abt 300 words. Coz abstract was 30 marks, comments 30 marks and title 10 marks. Hope he will be a nice person and give me good grades.

303: Maths paper essentially.
This module is very irritating coz it made me dug up all my maths stuff. Like complex numbers, integration and trigo. But.. his paper was alright lah. The maths part was quite okay. I think should be all correct. But the theory part was quite bad. I dun really know how to explain. sigh.. and MCQs are worth like 3 marks each. And NMR took up 30 marks when he only got 2 lectures. Wah lau.... hope i can score.. i need an A... desperately...

anyway.. i got 2 more papers... genetics and plants. All need my brain space coz got a lot of memorising.. esp plant.. felt like microbiology. I hope can do well.. i have a bad feeling abt genetics... sigh...

Paper number 1

today's my first paper and i am so happy that it is over. really a load off my shoulder....

A can score paper but i jus forgot my stuff when i got in. Its not a mental block. Jus simple cannot remember.

I know ppl are gg to kill me but i am going to say this. Klaus is a nice guy. He so 仁慈. He never killed us with the paper. He really cannot teach but at least he gave a lot of tips...

Sigh... but dun think can get A... i forgot a lot of stuff when i am in.. sigh.. anyway.. i think should not be very bad. At least i felt good when i got out from the exam hall. Unlike 208. Now klaus has moved 2 rungs up my hate-lecturers list. WN still remain at the bottom most, followed by KY.

bored dead....

this is wat happen when you are so bored.....

Okay.. this is how my table will look like when i am studying.. its obvious studying is not much in progress.. coz if studying is in progress, textbook on the left, notes on the right.... At the moment, textbook is still in front.. haha... and the piece of paper is plain.. means i haven started making notes yet...

This is how my table looks like in the middle of revision. Pens strewn all over, textbook on left, cup of drink on the table and the notes making in progress. Currently i am at brain metabolism. Lect 3 of 301. And since i do things chronologically, i am very dead.. sigh....


These are my 宝贝 pens... I used to tell ppl that pens are my life and whenever i feel unhappy, buying pens always help. haha... a cheaper kind of retail therapy..

My dad left the knife on the duck to look for something to add weight coz its took tough to chop. Looks pretty gruesome right? haha. and the head was put back by my dad to take the photo...

This is the result of ultimate boredom... hz dunno why sent an origami instructions to make a tortise. Being an origami fan and at the brim of ultimate boredom, i decided to try making it. Looks a bit weird though and i had a very hard time figuring out how to make coz the instructions are not clear enough. Anyway, i believe with more practise, it will look better.. haha..


Okay.. time to go back to my books....

games and revision always seem to come together...

i hate revision! and i hate exams! and i hate it when i get addicted to games right in the middle of exams! argh!!

anyway, introduce 2 games to you guys...('o') den u all can get addicted with me...

first one is hongkong cafe:
this is about speed...you are supposed to try and earn as much money as possible in 2 mins. My highest record was $2500. But the highest is $50, 000 plus.. wow.. i wonder how did tt person did it..

second one is unfolding:
got it from xiaxue's blog. Need to use a bit of brains. But she said she finished up till level 16 in 17 mins flat. means must have a trick one.. but i haven figure it out.. maybe someone can play den let me know?

exams are coming!

argh.. today is sunday!! exams are coming in 2 weeks and i haven started studying! i still got a report due tmr. Supposed to do it on friday but guessed what i did? i started on my pre-exam ritual..

i started with packing my room. All the clothes lying ard the place and the mess near my table is driving mad. I even vacuum the whole house, fold the clothes and cleaned my fan. I even washed the toilet and swept the kitchen. Felt so happy after tt coz the place is so neat and nice for study. But i still nv touch my report....

Sat went for SJAA National Conference at RELC international hotel. I woke up late loh.. din wanted to go.. but got my auntie to send me there.. luckily or else i am really dead...Hmm.. quite a boring seminar but got this particular speaker very good. Very humorous. Even though his topic wasn't something very new but his humor makes the whole thing so nice. I appreciate good humor in anyone. He's a lecturer at NUS.. if only all my lecturers like him can liao lah... Here's the first presenter. His presentation was okay and he seemed to have spent a lot of effort making the slides. So responsible... Heard that he's not married yet. A nice doctor.. but too bad he's too old liao lah....haha.. anyone wants to consider?

Lunch was there too.. food not very good.. but the menu very funny... see wat's so weird abt the menu...

Saw the steam fragrant white rice? white rice oso got such a nice name.. haha.. so funny.. Like sky juice... and the sif fried garden vegetables.. shoulded be stir right? and the dish really only got vegetables.. and nothing else. i forgot to take photo though...

Den after lunch, we all had nothing to do so took silly photos. here's my fren trying to take a phot of himself. This is a nice guy. Not too tall though but very fit and nice. He's up for grabs. Anybody wants introduction??

After the seminar got a long break before the dinner so we all went hospital to visit my fren's baby. Not really my friend lah, its hz's fren. I haven had a fren who had given birth. who wants to be the first?

The baby so cute... Mother and child looked so blissful. Except for the extra jaclyn at the back...

The dinner was at the same place but the food was much better. Even got chinese orchestra performance towards the end.

It was at this place called tang cantonese gourmet restaurant...

This is the menu...

I think we were too hungry to begin with so we attacked the first dish with much zest. This was taken after the damage.

I finally got to take a dish before the damage.. butter cereal prawn.. not veyr nice though.. cereal not crispy enough.. but its fine lah.. saw the fish at the back? That one was very nice...

See my friends got so bored waiting for the food that they started exercising their fingers...

And as usual i am always disturbing little kids. There was this litte boy who was sitting beside my table.. very cuteeeeeeeee.....

Sigh.. and today's sunday.. and i nv went for the morn seminar coz i overslept.. and instead of doing my report, i am typing my blog.. can someone just hit me on the head and wake me up? argh!!
