I've read the print-outs for the procedures and project protocol for at least 5 times and I still cannot picture handling the
...protein samples, DTT, IPG, rehydration buffer, BSA, mineral oil, electrode, cotton strip, APS, IEF...
(ok, you get it) .
I've never seen my mentor doing it before and I was told to read up on the procedures from GE Healthcare LifeScience website and I am supposed to replicate the results tomorrow. And she has to take this Phd qualifying exams so she cant stand beside me and guide me.
Help. Everyone who's has done an experiment before knows that reading the simple experiment procedure is so different from doing it. And silly me doesnt even know where the reagents are placed in the new lab..
Throughout the night, my 脸皮 must grow so thick that I wont feel paiseh popping silly? intellectual? questions tomorrow.
----
On another note, I found myself something to occupied with during this holidays, other than UROP. Have been feeling rather aimless this holiday.. I dont want my holidays to be eaten up by UROP! So while I cant work this holidays.. I want to learn how to drive! At least I found a task to complete. I was quite happy when I decided on this 目标.. And I'll try to find a job with flexible working hours each week so that I can maximise time while I'm free frm UROP.
I realise I really cant slack. Its slightly more than 1week after exams I cant stand nua-ing. I pei fu people who dont work during the 3mth holidays and yet not complain that they are bored. And I realise the reason why most guys can stay at home and nua for alot of days is because they are precisely glued to the xbox, wii, ps3? psp? and then the nintendo DS. OH! and DOTA and other RPGs.
Heard my cousin saying about buying a Wii just now at Mother's Day dinner, I wanna go try play bowling/tennis/ anything using it! ( He has got a plasma tv dedicated solely for his xbox to play games larh! Everytime I go to my aunt's house, I so wanna try but he'll be usin it. + I'm afraid of spoiling it too.. ) Life's so shuang for him, he has just graduated from his EE course in NTU and !narh, he's not going to find a job yet! So far, he has gotten a new car as a present immediately after he graduated and I think he's going on a trip.. How i wish I can be packed into his luggage or mayb donate his old car to me. Boo, I'm jealous.

Blogger's been abit temperamental lately, at least for mine. The dashboard is abit weird. o.O
Guess Bee is quite right about people blogging less frequently during holidays when exams are over.
Watched Spiderman 3 and I didnt think it was as good as Spiderman 2. Wasnt very impressed by the show while Yuxin was going all high and even chanted "Spiderman" together with the crowds when the Spiderman 记者会 was going on in the show. Haha. Constantly amazed by her high-ness. Personally, felt that the movie somehow lost pace at certain parts. Thought that the dance at the Jazz Bar by Spidey was rather.... hmm "extra"..
The last 30mins was quite good cos it got me quite excited.. Oh and the part when the crane went haywire, it got me quite excited.
After craving for sushi for approx 5 months, I finally got to eat it on Monday. Yay! But buffets are still sinful.. always tend to overeat..
Saw a Lipton Tea advert on magazine today. They're promoting Theanine that are in their tea and Theanine is supposed to help to spur creativity, providing inspiration. And I learnt that jumping or exercising helps to achieve the same results too. So.. jog around in your house if you get stuck writing an essay..I think it helps.. its scientifically proven.. according to the advert anw. Or.. just drink Lipton Tea.
Gosh I have nothing constructive to write about.. Haven been reading lately.. except for a BabyBlues Comic.
N. Bee and Mh is leavin SG is less than a day's time. Bon Voyage! Enjoy the movies on the plane!

Tug me from behind if you see me walking too fast.
Slow down.
Heard from the news just now that Singaporeans are the fastest "walkers" of the region, overtaking Hongkongers and Japanese.
I'm not amazed by this, for I have noticed that my walking pace has been getting faster and faster thesedays.
I've not taken time for look around at the surroundings, people, shops while i make my way to the destination.
Trips to the library: I stepped out of the lift and walked towards the roads, crossing it while keeping a lookout for buses, ready to chiong anytime if i spot one. Once off the bus, I began to chiong to the traffic light and walk fast fast to the library just in case there are no more seats left. Chao Mugger.
Trips to school: The time i need to walk from Bengawan Solo at the Tampines Bus Interchange to the train station is getting shorter day by day and I gain skills in overtaking the crowds. Sometimes my legs responds faster than my hands when I tap my ez-link at the sensor and my body reached the "gate" before it actually opens. And thats how a malu-ating begins by knocking myself onto the "gate".
Phew! I must walk slower now. Keep my destination in mind, yet enjoying the surroundings. I still will take the shortest route as possible, sometimes taking a longer route to smell flowers along the path is so unrealistic thesedays. Alright, I will try to be early so that i can afford to take longer routes. Haha.
----
Dont be amazed I have posted 3 entries in a single night. All my 5 papers are done and I have emptied some of my accumulated thoughts into these 3 entries. All of different genre and hence found them inappropriate to lump them into the a single entry.
Oh yes, time to embrace the holidays. Meeting Alex for a swim later. Hope it doesnt rain!
More activities coming up and embrace freedom properly before I begin to "walk very fast" again. Haha.

Of Hedgehogs and equilibrium separation.
I've always believed in equilibrium separation between people; friends, couples, family alike.
I heard a story from 加油！金顺 that day which illustrated the "equilibrium separation" very well.
"During winter time, members of the hedgehog family gathered together, using body heat to provide warmth for each other. They cant cuddle, they cant put their arms/limbs around each other and they cant even stand too near each other, for their pricks will hurt each other. Yet, they will freeze to death if they stand too far apart. Hence, the need to find an equilibrium separation....."
If you've got the time, ponder a lil' about the story.

一点单纯 一点快乐
梦游
作词:严云农 作曲:古晧
穿过时光机器 我一定可以再遇见你
循着钢琴声 找到你迷惑的神情
不够高的身影 计算着与梦想的差距
看你努力奔跑 但是终点在哪里
未来总很神秘
有暴风雨 也有好天气
你曾经可以选择 轻易放弃
dala… 感谢你没有忘记 做你自己
跌倒时受的伤
在我身上 有相同痕迹
发现我的笑容 成长在你哭泣里
未来会很神奇
会经历爱 也学会期待
虽然有很多怀疑 你不明白
dala… 幸福的答案我也还没解开
sol sol ti sol sol do 约定好醒来之后
要再次回到未来 陪我梦游

This was the first song that I liked when i listen to Stefanie's 10th album for the first time. First impression of this song was very child-like, lullaby-ish, relaxing. I dint read too much into the lyrics but came across this particular article in 早报 one day. I went back to the lyrics and was particularly amazed by the creativity; how lyricist played with his words. Not particularly easy to understand. For those interested, heres an excerpt from the analysis of 梦游's lyrics:
“穿过时光机器”点出这是时间隧道上的又走。明白这一点, “我” 和“你”的关系就不难了解。 不过，作词人仍不愿意明说，只是慢慢给暗示， 层层推进。
“不够高的身影 计算着与梦想的差距” 说的是 “你”，那个还未长大， 还未脱离做梦年龄的“你”。
“看你努力奔跑 但是终点在那里" 表面上说的是“你”， 其实也在表达自己的疑问。 是谁不停奔跑？ 是那个“不够高的身影”， 还是长大后仍旧不停奔跑的自己？
“跌倒是受的伤在我身上有相同的痕迹”--- 伤痕相同，只因经历过一样的事情。
“发现我笑容 成长的你的哭泣里”--- 哭泣因为悲伤， 而偏偏就是这样的伤痛， 才能成就一个人的成长， 伤痛过后的笑容最美丽。
了解了吗？“你”就是从前的“我”。
无论风雨多大，坚持最初的坚持， 忠于自己，不管是过去的， 现在的还是未来的“我”， 一直都会是这样一个我。

"ar-rested" on labour day
Yah. I know its not 2nd May yet but in about 24 hours time i would be enjoying my holidays!

Frankly, I dont know how many free days I have before I have to start returning to the labs... Seems like qt a number of my friends will be returning to Buona Vista area during the holidays for different purpose, but it will be good to have somebody sharing a trip home with me.

让我们get high 让CAP/GPA get high
I dont know what I have eaten just now thats makin my heart beat so fast now, at this hour.
I can't simply just get high just because I am reading about Molecular Cell Biology.
I feel as if I can float from the chair I'm sitting on now.
I'm feeeling as if I have eaten that Yellow Flu Pill, but I've not!
I think I am abit natural high.
eeeks. everyone goes abit siao siao when the exams are near. ok, not everyone.

Tao Kae Noi's Fault
Dont know whats Tao Kae Noi? You're missing out on the heavenly seaweed.
Was too bored from being glued at the seat today @ TampLib and thus walked into the ShopNSave and bought the Tao Kae Noi seaweed.
I've eaten like less than 10 pieces of it and now i m nursing a cough, a bad one. Plus I bought original flavour lor. Imagine if I'd bought Tom Yam Goong or Spicy Flavour..Pekchek, and the reason I'm not popping over to the Lib is because I dont wish to malu myself by coughing, with all eyes on me in the Reference Section.
I'm looking at it now and its looking at me.
By tomorrow evening, it will be gone. Because my sis/dad/mum would have finished it up and they will be fine because I'm the only one in the family with such a sensitive throat.
Grr.

Breather.
Dont call me a mugger.Face it, who in NUS doesnt mug when the exams are approaching? Especially when its 2weeks away.
I really <3 the Tampines library even though it has no nice landscaping as compared to the Esplanade Library , no bubble lift like the National Library, no RBR like the NUS Central Library. But it provided me with a place to study with just a 5min bus ride from my house! Especially when I'm so easily attracted by the bed and tv thesedays.
So I mean it when I say I <3 the library. Dont say I have no life because you will be "spilling salt onto my wound".
Did yuxin mean it when she said 我爱图书馆？Haha.
and !hey, I finished by LSM and GEM test today. :D
I will be happy when I finish the critique by tomorrow and I will be as happy as a sparrow on 2nd May.

i'm nt going to tag anybody to pass this on.
Rule of the game:-Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own 10 weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!
1. I like to smell new paper. Not The NewPaper. What I mean is.. the smell of paper when they are fresh from the copier or printer. I like their texture and their smell.
2. I went on a rollercoaster ride during primary school. I topped the class from the back during exams and topped the school from the front during PSLE. My dad thought the MOE system went bonkers when he heard the principal announced my name. From then on, I became amazingly smart, became equipped with good memory and yada yada. BUT importantly, I think I am going down slope now.
3. I am afraid of flying insects. No, I dont scream. No, I dont run. I cover my ears up whenever I see a flying insect. Thats my first instinct, even though I know that they wont fly into my ears and build a nest there.
4. I hate pork. But I eat pork ham, luncheon meat, porkballs, diced char siew and sometimes ba chor.
5. My handwriting is very neat. (Thanks!) But i paid a price for it. My right middle finger is deformed cos I exert too much pressure on it whenever i write. And I have to thank my ex-neighbour for my nice handwriting. My mum cannot stand my ugly handwriting when I was very young and she sent my over to my ex-neighbour who was very fierce. I was so scared till I forced myself to write "until very nice"
6. I was ambidextrous before Kindergarten 2. The teacher said its not good to be ambidextrous and she converted me into a right-hander. Whenever I used my left hand, she will hit me hard.
7. I am very good at remembering faces! If I have seen you before, I know I have seen you before and unlucky/lucky enough, I will remember where/how/why I met you.
I'm quite abled at remembering names too!
8. Nothing to write so I will write about food then. I luuuuurve cheese. But I dislike red meat. Like duck, pork, beef, mutton. I like fish and chicken but I dont eat the Chinese Steamed Chicken. I think the skin smells bad.
9. Unlike most girls..I dont like soft toys or bear-bear. And I mean since young.. I dont have a special inclination for winnie the pooh, barbie, care bears... yada yada you get it.
10. Lastly, I am actually very puzzled why I am in engineering cos I know there are other courses in NUS that I wanna do. But since I'm in it, I'll jus give my best and relive my legendary sec school n probably jc life. I'm trying very hard!
I'm done. Now... I remember people doing this "tagged" thingy with only 6 items. Why is it that the rules is now 10 items?
No matter how, I hope I provided some entertainment to my readers out there.
I wont tag any of you. Just let it be free and easy.

8. Nothing to write so I will write about food then. I luuuuurve cheese. But I dislike red meat. Like duck, pork, beef, mutton. I like fish and chicken but I dont eat the Chinese Steamed Chicken. I think the skin smells bad.
9. Unlike most girls..I dont like soft toys or bear-bear. And I mean since young.. I dont have a special inclination for winnie the pooh, barbie, care bears... yada yada you get it.
10. Lastly, I am actually very puzzled why I am in engineering cos I know there are other courses in NUS that I wanna do. But since I'm in it, I'll jus give my best and relive my legendary sec school n probably jc life. I'm trying very hard!
I'm done. Now... I remember people doing this "tagged" thingy with only 6 items. Why is it that the rules is now 10 items?
No matter how, I hope I provided some entertainment to my readers out there.
I wont tag any of you. Just let it be free and easy.

Deadline for Submission of Critique
In view of request from some students, the deadline for submission of the critique has been extended to Monday, 17th April 2007
I was greeted by this piece of good news this morning.
I am so glad I need not "portion" one day from the 4days scheduled for studying for the LSM test.
Joycie pointed out something important. 17 Apr is a Tues! Haha, so is it due on 16 Apr Monday? or 17 April Tuesday?

This is my third time onlining since I reached home at about 6.
I'll surf the net for 1/2 hour, feel guilty, go back to my books, feel sian, and switch on the comp again, and to find myself bored again.
I just dont have the mood to mug today..
BUT I'm not in the position to talk about MOOD now!
And I refuse to start on my GEM essay... Because I am still not inspired... I pondered for my Soci Essay long enough last sem and I got an A!
Anyway...today I recieved the first encouragment for the oncoming exams! Even though its so commercialised and unsincere... Did you guys recieve it? I have no idea how Mr Phillip Loh got my full name and address.

Btw... my sis is at Kuantan now.. probably in some caves examining some rocks...
When I told her to bring something back for me... She said she'll bring back some rocks specimen then.. Hope she's not joking... Hope she is having a "rock" of a time there..

I'm UP and OUT
A very disconnected title. Wanna say that I am OUT of some very depressing phase and UP and ready for some serious exam revision.
I liked the idea of serving iced water in wine bottles. Ok, mayb I'm ulu but so far I ve not seen any restaurant serving iced water like this.
I had this Fried Pasta With Cream Mushroom Sauce.
Prof Kwamme surprised us by "pom-ing" us with an extra assignment that is due next Tuesday, which coincidentally is also the date of the "much-awaited" and "very-not-prepared" LSM test. A 3 page critique on a 31-page valuation report. I almost couldnt believe my eyes when I saw this announcement in IVLE. Wah pengz, Wah piangz.
1. I dreamt of someone weird yesterday. I have never spoken to him before and he is not somebody that I think of day and night. And yet, he appeared in my dreams yesterday. Was at someone's birthday party and he was playing some very intellectual game with me. A game about colour-matching and shape-matching. ~Weird. But it was a nice dream! Cos the party was fun, i think.
2. I bought a new lecture pad yesterday. It has some interesting stuff on the cover.
Heart-broken (:-...

3. One fine evening, had dinner with Alex at Indulgz. Verrrrrry Nicccce. www.indulgz.com
(Click on the "extra" tab for more photos by Xiaxue)
Anyway, the ambience was very nice. There was one particular table specially decorated for couples. Walked past it when i went to the restroom and I kept looking at the table... Verrry Pretty.. I was telling her, perhaps I should just grab any of my guy friends one day and visit that restaurant. Who cares if its a couple table, as long as I get to dine at that pretty table. LOL. Heres some pictures...
I liked the idea of serving iced water in wine bottles. Ok, mayb I'm ulu but so far I ve not seen any restaurant serving iced water like this. Anyway, had the chance to dine at Esmiridas with Goodrich colleague quite long ago. I liked the way they served their garlic bread! Its placed vertically on the stand and u need to stand up from your seat in order to pinch a piece of the top part!
Such serving peculiarities enhances the dining experience and makes u remember that place!
Fried Mushrooms with Garlic Mayo..Very very nice, but only for those garlic lovers. P.s the mushroom juice spurts out for every bite! I am not exaggerating it like how KFC did for their Shrooms Burger...

I had this Fried Pasta With Cream Mushroom Sauce.I can only say that its an interesting attempt... But i was only so-so..
Alex's Carbonara! Very creaaaammmy..
We had choc fondue for dessert! Not an ardent fan of choc, but its nice! Better than the one we had at some hotel, where they added some alcohol into the choc and in my opinion, spoiled the taste of choc instead of enhancing it.

What a sumptous dinner, thus brought us to the Tampines Stadium for some jogging on Monday evening! But exams are coming... meaning I cant go exercising with her so often! Sigh, I can imagine me balloooning after exams..
Alright, what a long entry.
Alright, what a long entry.
I shall commmence on my LSM webcast.

Some very random stuff in life.
Biofluids test: Done, good!
GEM2000 presentation: Done, "shakes head" Always feeling angry at myself after GEM tutorial. Why do I always get tongue-tied?
Anyway, zj was asking me how often do i use the camera function of my phone. Here's how often and how random:
My sis friend gave her this a Christmas Present last year. I like to squeeze it cos its very adorable. Now, it has fallen off its key chain.
Apoptosis: Programmed Cell Death. How beautiful and miraculous this death is. This is my favourite chapter of the whole series of LSM lecture and I decorated this heading so well before I started revising.
After writing 1 sentence. I thought of death and then blood and thus explains the "reddish" add-ons to the previous. It became too ugly after I added to much stuff and I tore the whole page off my notebook. 画蛇添足.
I think white roses are very pretty. Yellow roses too. So anyway, I was very bored while going home one day and I walked into an accessories shop and bought this. I am waiting for my hair to grow long enough for me to tie. ( Ignore the LSM notes at the background, I was listening to webcast)
Enough of LSM. I was revising for MLE and I wrote this down, and instantly was very amazed by what I wrote.
"For every 'up', there will be a 'down' "
Cliche, but therapeutic.
Finished masterpc of Lijuan's huge birthday card. 3 "P"s. Pinkish, Piglet-ish, and Purplish
Reflection in the ceiling. Joycie and Yuxin look abit deformed.
Bee's Happy Bee-O-Day Card.
I like the mao-mao... But.. they make my nose itch.
Was doing Bee's birthday card at Bugis Shaw Tower?/Building? Subway and I did this snapshot. Trying to say: Yuxin's fingers really very long! As if this isnt a fact that I've known for years.
Me want long fingers, me dont want fingers with "pinkie that can bend w/o other fingers bending"
Joyce with Burp aka CT aka anonymous. Why must he always give this kind of face when i take pictures for him??? Seems like we were all busying playing while yuxin was hard at work. No kay!

Part 2. the number: forty
As I read, I discover the significance of number forty and lent. I must have been sleeping during BK class in secondary school.

Grumble with a capital G
Was planning my work schedule for the next few days on the train. Seems like alot of catching up to do. Especially for LSM and I have 2 GEM questions due for presentation next week. ( Eeek, debate was bad today.)
Biofluids tests and GEM tests. Eeeek.
I got very mad with the Biofluids lecturer today. Whats the point of giving us 6 tutorial questions to attempt when the lecture notes does not provide us with any clue on how to answer the questions. And whats the point of going through only 2 questions on the spot with us, leaving the remaining 4 untouched and no answers are given. Like how hardworking I am, i attempted the questions, knowing that I am 99.9% gg to be wrong, and yet he is not going to provide me with any solutions? What the hell, I am so going to send him an email and express my dissent. Even though I know most probably what the reply would be: "To encourage active self-learning, no solutions will be provided and you are encouraged to attempt the questions on their own. " I hope he proves me wrong.
I dont know whats wrong with the module planning of BN1901. Its certainly one of the most unstructured module that I've ever taken in NUS. Alright, I am pinning all my hopes on the lecturer for the last part: Biomechanics.
Its........
1 month to the exams! No, im not excited.

Finally...
After a series of correspondence between the NUS VIP in-charge, Institute for Infocomm Research VIP in-charge and my UROP mentor Han Hui, I have finally managed to withdraw from EG1602 -VIP.
Itchy hands la! Sign up for UROP and then sign up for VIP again.
Was so shocked when I read the clause: Once you have been shortlisted or accepted by the company, you will not be able to withdraw, otherwise it will constitute a F-Grade on your EG1602.
So shocked when I read that I have been shortlisted for interview. Was still gloating a few weeks back that Humanyx rejected me.
Anyways, alls settled and I can focus on my UROP during the semester break. Joyce! I will be joining you to go school during the holidays! And to the same fac somemore!
Have been emailing the NUS VIP since Friday and it was till 5 mins ago that I got the confirmation regarding the withdrawal and that tomorrow I need not go down for interview! Wasted my $$$ on a pair of new pants from G2000. Ouch leh, not cheap.

Dont know why, the lyrics here is different from the version now.. Anw, xiao gui's suit is very nice here!

I have been reading a blog: GodsRhinos these few days.
Started all because of curiosity. Curiosity of the power of religions and how it shapes the character of the devotees ( in this case, Catholics) and how god has a constant influence on them. They see in every aspect of their life the help and support from god. Even the most trivial things in life seemed significant when he comes into play. I was particularly awed by a few entries, on how the beautiful evening scenery while on your way home from school is a piece of god's magnificent work. Equally amazed yet shocked on how priesthood is actually one of the choices they are thinking of making after obtaining their bachelor degree. I sensed a total different "level" out there, when majority are thinking of jobs that secure a "ricebowl" when we graduate as well as finding your life partner to spend the rest of your life with (hopefully). On the otherhand, they are burying such thoughts and i read, priests are supposed to go through this discernment process where god shall be your one and only partner, as I interpreted.
As i quote "as god grows exponentially and i diminishes", something went into my head.
No, I m not going to convert, neither am i agreeing with everything i read from the blog.
I am just inspired by how I should perhaps be more appreciative, as i sometimes overlooked, towards ordinary things that we take for granted in life.
On how some things happened not because of what I am, what I did, but rather an interplay of alot of forces. And suddenly i see, i seemed so small.
Before i've decided on how to continue writing.. this shall be Part1.

Finders Keepers
Thats my sis. Dad came home today with this big sack of garlic. He said he found it on the road, apparently a few sacks have dropped off from a lorry. Finders keepers and a few others were taking a few sacks back home too. It weighed about 8kg! Dad says its probably worth 20 - 30 odd bucks. What a gain. But we couldnt finish such a big sack too, hence mum is distributing some to her market friends tomorrow. Haha.I found something today too. Huimin gained from my find too. (:

Sad.
Han Hui:
"I performed protein quantification on the Day 3 cell lysate we collected. As compared to previous patient samples, there seems to be quite abit of differences in the amount of protein collected per micromilliter. Hence in order to minimise any differencence due to our harvesting techniques, I will perform all the cell harvesting for this batch of patient samples. You are still welcome to observe. "
I must have missed out alot of cells during harvesting that day. Sad. So now, I really can ONLY observe.

Surfing.
"Perhaps the only good thing that happened was we met Jeremy" -Meisi.
Yuenling: nods.
Anw, things went all wrong from the point when Meisi waited for Bus 36 for 25mins and me about 15mins at Changi Airport T2. An empty 36 came to T2 bus-stop and I boarded it only to find Meisi's bus directly behind it. And because buses "rest" for about 10mins before departing from T2, mine left before Meisi. And we reached the East Coast Sea Sports Centre only at 2.40pm when the intended meeting time was 2pm!
It was sunshine all the way in the morning until 2.30pm when it started drizzling and then raining and then raining heavily, lucky thing theres no lightning or0 thunder. Big Sianded.
Claimed our rental equipment and decided to go out to sea despite the rain. Hahas, the last time i touched the sail was like 3months ago and all was unfamilar!
Was lucky to meet Jeremy who was also conducting a lesson with another group of people and he sort of gave us some tips when we couldnt surf properly :)
I managed to sail further this time and without falling too frequently! I shall attribute this to the better rental boards compared to the class boards.. Afterall, we paid to have it.
The wind was intermittent and kept changing its direction. Had a hard time figuring out where should I position the head of the board so that I can sail outwards instead of backwards. The rain was on and off too. At one point of time when I was at my furthest out, the rain became too heavy and the wind died. :( Had to do self-rescue and do butterfly stroke back. Arms ache! So the 2 hour session went : Hoist Sail, Balance, Sail, ah-too-far-liao-scared, Drop sail, Sit on board rest, Hoist Sail, Sail Back or Self-Rescue.
And right after we went back onshore and kept the equipment, the sun came out and the wind become obedient. Grr.
Seriously, spent 1/2 of my strength on carrying the equipment from storage to the shore and then back. They were so heavy! One of the step of setting up the equipment is to "poke" and secure the sail on the board. Too heavy liao and thus I couldnt insert it in and an i/c of the centre came and helped me. He made a joke:"Its a man thing. I know its crude, but its a man thing" I din realise it was a dirty joke until Meisi told me at the end of everything -_-
Still, it was fun.
I'm glad I tried windsurfing. ( i know this should come right after i took the course, but the satisfaction only came today)

of mpshs and mpshs and mpshs.
I have had all my midterms this semester at MPSH so far.
Something ridiculous happened today. Warning: Afghanistan Terrorism has spread its wings to The Copying Syndicate. (TCS)
I know integrity runs low in examination venues such as lecture theatres and "cheating" takes place in the form of disregard to this statement made by the inviligator : Put down your pens. Time's up. Ok, I've seen somebody gotten his CHEATsheets confiscated during my year 1 exams. But, something ridiculous happened today, just because I "geh kiang" finished my paper early and dint cover it up properly.
Anyways, after a mapping done by zj who sat behind me and the TCS member, we had identical answers for every question. + TCS member 1 whispered answers to TCS member 2 during the exam! I was contemplating whether to raise my hands and raise the issue with the "zuobo" invilgilators, they stopped whispering and I decided to 睁一只眼闭一只眼。(Because I dint know that the source of answers was me then! GRR)
Ended up having 3 identical copies of answers with some ridiculously wrong answers. ( Tell me, how can Oxygen form 6 covalent bonds!??)
Anws, heres as excerpt of the TCS members conversation, re-enacted by mr zj and me.
Zj: Aiyah, y is 6!?! 2 lah
Me: No la, 2 meh? The person wrote 6 leh! ( points to the right)
Zj: U copy wrongly liao la
Me: Really!?! Aiyah . Suay
Lesson Learnt:
1) Cover up your answers properly when you have decided to stone after finishing
2) Copy also must copy from the right person. ( I must have LOOKED smart just now)
3) Dont think ALL scholars are smart and hardworking.
Disclaimer: I have no idea which nationality they are from. just that they resembled Agfh people. No discrimination against any race, just discontent from someone whose answers got copied.

But, something ridiculous happened today, just because I "geh kiang" finished my paper early and dint cover it up properly.
Anyways, after a mapping done by zj who sat behind me and the TCS member, we had identical answers for every question. + TCS member 1 whispered answers to TCS member 2 during the exam! I was contemplating whether to raise my hands and raise the issue with the "zuobo" invilgilators, they stopped whispering and I decided to 睁一只眼闭一只眼。(Because I dint know that the source of answers was me then! GRR)
Ended up having 3 identical copies of answers with some ridiculously wrong answers. ( Tell me, how can Oxygen form 6 covalent bonds!??)
Anws, heres as excerpt of the TCS members conversation, re-enacted by mr zj and me.
Zj: Aiyah, y is 6!?! 2 lah
Me: No la, 2 meh? The person wrote 6 leh! ( points to the right)
Zj: U copy wrongly liao la
Me: Really!?! Aiyah . Suay
Lesson Learnt:
1) Cover up your answers properly when you have decided to stone after finishing
2) Copy also must copy from the right person. ( I must have LOOKED smart just now)
3) Dont think ALL scholars are smart and hardworking.
Disclaimer: I have no idea which nationality they are from. just that they resembled Agfh people. No discrimination against any race, just discontent from someone whose answers got copied.

I learnt to play a new game using poker cards yesterday!
Its called: In Between. I think its more exciting than Ban Lat esp this year Ban Lat I've not yet to Ban Lat yet. ( cos i painstakingly brought the cards to weixiang's party, nobody wanna play with me. Points fingers... Alright, theres not much space to play too. So joycie's party, we have a room to ourselves, right? RIGHT? right!?! )
And then everyone should self-entertain and play In Between with me! Pluuuuuuueeeze..
Anyway, some scv movie channel was on preview today and I sat glued infront of the teevee. Managed to finish the one and only chapter of ma3501 mid-term.
Better go finish the mock paper and turn in early today.

I was somehow reminded of an incident that happened a few weeks ago in campus, or rather, when i was leaving campus.
I boarded 95 at the busstop before Com Centre and hence it was rather empty and saw a jc friend of mine. Greeted by a more-than-friendly smile ( she looked real happy when she saw me), I went to sit beside her and started the usual chat for 2 friends who haven seen each other since 2 years ago.. She was as talkative as those times back in jc. ( Oh no, back in kindergarten. Ya, I knew her since then and we were once caught talking during class by the teacher. So diu-lian! But we sort of lose contact till we met in TJ again.)
So we saw another senior at the SOC bus-stop and by then the 95 is quite packed. So !amazingly!, she placed her bag on the seat in front of us to "chope" seat for him! Omg, I felt like burying my head under the seat when everyone walked past the seat and gave a weird expression: So inconsiderate, whose bag is this???
And he had to be one of the last few to board the bus and that friend of mine actually shouted for his name to motion him to the seat in front of us. When i persuaded her against that, she actually said that its ok. Ah, I really felt like jumping out of the bus window.
At the mrt platform while trying to board the train, she was shovelling against all the passengers who were alighting and managed to get into the cabin much faster than my senior and I. I was really amazed.
Thinking about it, she hasnt really changed. Since kindergarten, since JC, and since CO days...
and I wonder when will she change. Some of her inconsiderate acts really irked me last time, and I havent forgotten about them yet. Haiz.

How nice of him to wish us 学业进步. He's African btw. Anyways, I really need the 学业进步 to bless me for all the upcoming tests next week. Yes, I'm temporarily forgetting that I owe this lecturer a presentation next week.. (Howhow.. Me no time do the presentation larh..)
The mid term tests spark off the neverending chasing of work that is going to last till 2nd May.. Tests put a halt to all revision for lectures and tutorials and the yada yada 明日复明日， 万事成蹉跎..
On a happier note, this coming Monday morning will be the commencement of my UROP research Day 3. ( Day 0 is supposed to be yesterday but Han Hui was nice enough to spare me from travelling all the way from Tampines down to Kent Ridge).
Start of the UROP means that I will be running trips down to Medicine Fac for a few times each week, still, I m looking forward to it. And to strike a balance between 1) Observing important procedures of the experiment and 2) go for Maths lect, I chose the former. However, this transforms to higher independency of the "already-very-independent" independent learning.
Following weeks will be a period of no procrastination. gogogo!
My sista's friends are coming to bai nian tomorrow at 9am.. and it leaves me with no choice but to wake up before they reach. Argh. Okies, jiayous to 2 more chaps of cell bio before I shout
!Hurray and then proceed to Ma3501 and then MLE and then GEM. boohoohoo.

a night of the poor dudes with the rich dudes in a rich dude setting
Setting: Ritz Carlton Greenhouse Buffet ( This is gonna be the single most expensive meal I 've ever had! ( apart from all the Wedding Dinners..) Many thanks to the birthday girl -Andrea!) ++ Live music !!
A pleasant meal with great food and dessert though sometimes the topics drift to some rich-men's haven that i simply envy and just play my part in listening. My parents are nvr going to give me a HSBC/Citibank supplementary card, not to say DBS Black Card and yada yada.. My parents are not going to buy me a car to drive even if i get my driving license one day.. I'll not walk into a shop and buy something from it without taking a glance at the price tag..
Yada yada, sensing the sour grapes out of me? You are so so right!
While forcing yours truly to imagine and believe in the many joys in life, apart from the $$ related stuff, YES THERE ARE, but its just human nature to yearn for something and to dream of enjoying such extravagancies in life. Why not, and i may work towards it one day.
还好人穷志气不穷！
Last but not least, Happy Birthday my dear friend!

恭喜恭喜！ 新年快乐！
To welcome the new year, i bought a phone for myself!
Its neither Nokia 7373 and Nokia 7390..but Sony Ericsson K800i. What a sudden change of decision. Haha. Anyway, I have changed its theme to the L'Amour Collection. Pretty!
Anyways, since its a GOOD camera phone.. I have some pictures to share! (:
My new bedsheet! Hehs. I buy a new bedsheet everyyear and choosing its design is my favourite. So bright, so alive!
Everybody wishes for good fortune in the coming year and my mum glued an extra ignot to the original one 财神爷 was already holding. I wanted to glued a third one, but that'll cover his face then. The device on the right is a present from my 姨妈. When its shaken, small papers bearing numbers will float in the liquid and its will drop in the golden bowl the 财神爷is holding if the aiming is good enough, or if you're lucky enough and come up with numbers for betting 4D.
(so shiok to have a good camera phone now! yay.. )
my mum and sis is off to grandma house for reunion lunch.. and I am trapped back at home because the deliveryman is going to come with my new printer.
Once again, Happy Chinese New Year!

got a bear-hug
Along came this bear when huimin ivan and i were walking towards the lt for our gem lecture after lunch. Her gestures were very clumsy and 笨笨 and hence very cute! So we stopped her and took a picture of her and with her. Is a donation drive for some needy organisation so we dontated some money too and got a "beary-good" hug (:

thechinesenewyear
get into the festive season mood! my neighbours are having an 'unofficial" decorate-your-corridor mini competition. Reminds me of the annually decorate-your-classroom CNY decoration back at ahs.Every storey has got CNY decorations and different pattern and every year the design changes (omg i sound so auntie and mountain tortoise) But I'm quite amused by it and I wanted to go to every storey and snap pictures of the decorations but my mum says my neighbours will think I am some weird person going around every door to take pictures. So i ended up taking pictures of the rest of the block frm the 9th floor and hence everything seems so small. Its really pretty if you see it for yourself.
Helped my mum put up the 2 red pineapples and 2 yellow pineapples and 2 运财童子 on the door. ( see 1st picture)
So 可爱. Its like one floor starts the trend and the rest says : "I cant lose out" and day by day as CNY approaches, I see more red lanterns and whatnot popping out. I was going to buy my lunch today.. walking at my void deck and 2 people walked past me and said: " eh, this block very pretty hor? look at the last storey!"
And hmm.. the last floor deco is really very coordinated! The neighbours are sure working hand in hand cos theres 1 red pineapple every 2metres apart.

Not sour grapes.. but I'm really glad that my VIP application wasnt successful.. Cus I got my UROP (: and a nice mentor.
But "Rejected by Company" sounds abit 残忍. Only Humanyx replied.. Hello!?! What is Insitute of Bioengineering doing?
I shall try VIP next holidays.
Anyways..just saw the Dean's List for BIE for last semester. There were only 3 pple. 3 girls. 3 RJ girls. And then, all of a sudden, i felt dumb. Sigh.
U know.. if theres such thing called 开窍, it sure happened during p6 and i think “关窍” occurred after A levels.
p.s peter jus told me that 715 is a gay.. n of all gay partners.. he chose someone that i dont like.. no discrimination against gays..but jus sad ma.
to peter, wad if one day i tell u jade seah is a les.
to yix, wad if one day i tell u thomasong is a gay.
to my sis, wad if one day i tell u wu zun is a gay.

我是神童
i exclaimed the above when my pc was repaired.
I called the Dell technical helpline for some serious help in hope of replacing some parts of my PC, cos its seriously new and it spells trouble when prompts to run chkdsk /r appear like after hmm.. 5 months of purchase. So the technician asked me to run checks on the systems and hardware and we found no problem and she says she suggests a reformat which is not covered warranty! She says to bring it to a local shop and do a reformat. Reluctant I am, I booted from the cd-rom again and did a chkdsk /r. I was so afraid that it wont work but it worked! Woohoo, so my pc is well again.
But then..problems appearing after only 5 months of purchase sounds abit disappointing.
And then when I wanted to print my lecture notes. I was apalled to see my printer not working! *^%^$$%$%^ So I became very pekchek and while being pekchek and being abit rude to my mum who kept interrupting me while i was doing the troubleshooting.. I decided to take a nap to cool off the anger.. Tadang! When I woke from the nap and tried again.. I realised it was the problem of the black ink cartridge which HP-not original. Haha.. I changed it and the problem was solved. (: Printer's well again.
It says lifetime guarantee on the cartridge so I'm going to write a complain email and ask for a replacement. Yay. Lets see when I ll write it.
Sent in my laptop to the Fujitsu service centre today.. The laptop is a fan of fluorescent colours I say... It will turn fluorescent pink, yellow, green... suddenly when I am, lets say, watching youtube.. Haha... And.. I spotted dead pixels...
So the person say he is going to replace a new lcd screen for me. .So.. no laptop for these 2 weeks. ( Heng I din buy a lcd screen protector..)

你是阳光但是却能照进半夜里...哇..
After 2 days of fun and sleep and eating from parties, i weighed myself on the weighing scale and found myself heavier by 1kg. Yes, I am that conscious. But I want it down down down so i planned to run in the evening.
And I also planned to finished my maths tutorial, study for gem quiz, catch up on the piling stack of Lsm2103, and then bake a cake, all before 7.30pm before the Superstar Finals starts.
And then, indeed I finished my tutorial, finished studying and finished baking a cake. But i din go run! I fell asleep! grah.
Baking the chocolate cake dint take long because it was from a pre-mix. All I had to do was to mix alot of ingredients together..and stir stir stir.. but i hated washing though..
All was well until I fumbled at the last step.. While taking out the already baked cake out of the pan.. I dont know why..It broke into 2 pcs when I was overturning it into a plate. 好伤心.
But anyway, its funny why i dont like chocolate, i dont really like eating chocolate cake but then I baked it anyway.
It just like I ate Subway Meal that day with... F&N Orange Drink and White Choc Macademia Cookie. I just din feel like choosing the normal Iced Tea and Chocolate Chip Cookie lar.

my butt hurts!
Da jia.. I fell down, down the stairs.. And indeed I felt down all day after I fell down the stairs.
I wasnt looking at other people, I was concentrating on walking down the stairs outside LT4 and Huimin said she heard a soft "Ah.." and I was sitting-slipping down the stairs.
Boo. Now my arms and butt hurt. Not abrasive injuries.. Is internal injuries.. Big Big Blue Black!Ugh. Sad. Why am I so 冒失?
Spank me if I talk down the stairs walking. I mean, walk down the stairs talking.
Something extraordinary happened during MLE lecture today..
The lecturer was teaching as about dislocations in materials.. edge dislocations, screw dislocations etc. He was showing a diagram on screw dislocations when a guy raised his hand and asked: Sir, can you explain whether exactly is it being screwed?
Cannot take it, we all burst out in laughter... I bet Prof Zhang doesnt know what we were laughing at. Poor him.

an observation
jus a wonder, how do you guys arrive at the IVLE homepage?
an observation tells me that different people do it differently.. not like how i assumed..
I made an asssumption that everyone will simply type "ivle.nus.edu.sg" at the address bar for thats what I usually do.
Or on a simpler note, just save it under Bookmarks or Favourites.
But I observed..
That actually my friend types IVLE+ NUS in the search bar of Google. Obviously the first result will be the right one.. and clicks on that link to bring her to the homepage of IVLE.
That my lecturer actually types "nus.edu.sg" in the address bar which brings him to the NUS homepage where there is a link to IVLE.
So how do U do it?
Interesting huh.

心情愉快
Went for Samuel's 21st birthday party at his house yesterday.
Alot of friends, from AHS, TJC, Seasports, NS, church and relatives came. Wah... So many people! Such a blessed boy. But most of them were glued to the TV set watching the match between Msia and Sg.. Haha.
Only a few from 1703 went.. but finally after 2 years after graduation I finally met Cody! We dug out pictures from jc and saw how all of us had changed! (: for the better.
Zhengyi drove us home in his dad's lorry and since the back was not sheltered, the wind was blowing directly at us but this made us very 心情愉快! The accompany and the breeze was the cause of it all! We were all laughing throughout the journey. (: Then it rained suddenly on PIE. So we took out umbrella and hilarious it was! Anyway, kudos to Zhengyi's driving skills! But.. due to his horlan-ness... he constantly needs someone to tell the directions to him! So was quite hilarious to see how Jianxin was shouting from the back to tell him the directions to get out of the private estate maze. And why why I know why he needs a walking street directory beside him... Cus they say he doesnt even know how to get to Marina Sq.. BY FOOT. Oh my.
Last last.. I like the wallet that we gave to Samuel so much! Then again, I think I've always liked presents that I give...

An excerpt from theRidge Jan07 Issue
Libra ( September 24- October 23)
Looks like you're in for a pretty nerve-racking year, or so they say. What else can being 'a regular tightrope walker this year' mean? Career-wise, you're 'motivated to succeed at whatever you do and dramatic advancement in your career is very likely' and 'you are recognized as a natural conduit for manipulating the acquisition and distribution of resources.' Smells of stress, pressure and everything nice but if that is what works for you.... astrology.com says: 2007 is a big one for you! Relationships this year however do not sound like a good idea. You'll be having a hard time finding someone or being with someone. That happens to everyone, isnt it? All in all: sounds like a year for your career. There is no time or place for love, sorry.
Maybe I should threaten the writer and force her to edit the article. At least make 2007 look like a more welcoming year for me. Ugh. Dont say sorry.

Disappointment.
I typed "u0505602" in the userid box jus now while trying to log into Blogger. I think this has happened to bee before, right?
I just realised that I have 2 tests next week! No good!
I woke up today full of anticipation.
First, to check my NUS xchange account for replies from Prof Phan regarding my project. But no! He hasnt replied. I wonder why he replies so promptly to Sandip and is so sluggish in replying to me. Nono.. he doesnt reply me. He replies to Sandip and cc it to me. Dont tell me he is 重男轻女. This i cannot tolerate.
Second, Huimin and I planned a trip to WWW today in order to utilise my free tickets. I woke up today only to see an sms saying that she feels very tired and wishes to cancel the trip. Anything too last min, I dislike. So disappointed. So i finally decided that maybe I really cant find anyone to go with me before the tickets expire on 3rd Feb ( and in view that I've 2 tests next week..... ) :( So.. I have decided to give them away.. rather than leaving them to rot in my wallet. To you who are reading now.... are you interested? 2 tickets worth i think 12++ each! First come first serve. ( Somehow I ve got a gut feeling that they ll continue rotting in my wallet and I wont be able to give it away. :o(
Girlfriends, bring your boyfriends!
Boyfriends, bring your girlfriends!
I just realised that I have 2 tests next week! No good!
I woke up today full of anticipation.
First, to check my NUS xchange account for replies from Prof Phan regarding my project. But no! He hasnt replied. I wonder why he replies so promptly to Sandip and is so sluggish in replying to me. Nono.. he doesnt reply me. He replies to Sandip and cc it to me. Dont tell me he is 重男轻女. This i cannot tolerate.
Second, Huimin and I planned a trip to WWW today in order to utilise my free tickets. I woke up today only to see an sms saying that she feels very tired and wishes to cancel the trip. Anything too last min, I dislike. So disappointed. So i finally decided that maybe I really cant find anyone to go with me before the tickets expire on 3rd Feb ( and in view that I've 2 tests next week..... ) :( So.. I have decided to give them away.. rather than leaving them to rot in my wallet. To you who are reading now.... are you interested? 2 tickets worth i think 12++ each! First come first serve. ( Somehow I ve got a gut feeling that they ll continue rotting in my wallet and I wont be able to give it away. :o(

Last sem i took sc1101 that came across like sc4101.
I think this sem's gem2000 has readings that constantly displays the chim-ness of gem4000. I've been trying hard whole day making side notes on what each paragraph means but at the end of it all.. they just seem senseless, not to say the sentence structures are so difficult to comprehend.
If the purpose of such readings are to educate/inform people more about a topic, why then did they write in english that reads like italian, french, german and wad-not to me. Why cant they write like normal textbooks?
--
I finally emailed the prof regarding my interest in UROP.. but i haven told Angeline about my decision on nt gg for CSC special project if i get into UROP.. the only reason for the delay is that I do feel quite bad for agreeing to run for OC together yet engaging myself in other project.
Academic, future-wise: UROP
Interest-wise: UROP
Friendship-wise: CSC
Oh no.. I think I better discuss with the prof regarding the time committment for UROP ..if i do get his approval for participation, so that I can plan around the schedule and decide whether time will allow for CSC.
Guess VIP will have to wait till next May.

我还是继续不解。

冒失鬼
Followed by the thumb drive, laptop, orgchem text, library books incidents ( in chronological order) ... I left my ear phones in the computer cluster today..
I am sad over losing it. I used to be quite upset over losing a pen or pencil though they are not expensive stuff. I wont buy an identical one to replace it, its not worth it. I wont buy something lao-pok to lan(4) yu(1) chong(1) shu(4).. but im nt pampering my ears with something to ex too. See what shall catch my eye tomorrow.
Bottomline: I hope i can find them tomorrow. Believe in the integrity of engine students and... argh.. i jus dont like it that i lost something..
Pretty upset. Pretty irritated over my carelessness. yyyYyyyYYyyYYYyYYyyyyYYyyyY

Rains. Faints. Quick Updates (:
I was having mixed feelings when I woke up today to see this crappy weather as described by mesi.
I told myself that I will not start any studying unless i finished my storybook. So i stayed at home whole day today, thanks to the rain huh, and finished it up. Wells, not exactly whole day. But yeah, I finished reading it and thought it was a well-structured and interesting book :) So at night it took me longer than usual to finish reading a 10pg LSM article: Birth of Complex Cells and did a summary page on it.
I regretted having pizza for dinner. Because my sis agreed to treat us to pizza, i volunteered to make the call and when they reject to deliver because of the rain, I dont know why i readily agreed to pick em up at TM at a discount of 20%. 好有闲情逸致. Haha. And now Im feeling so full and nauseous after dinner. But I din eat alot! Dont know why.
Channel 5 played the premiere of Day After Tomorrow, today. I din manage to catch it cos I was out picking up the pizzas..so i recorded it. I dislike mediacorp's tv schedules on Sunday. It simply has NOTHING interesting. Ok, perhaps for occasional english movies.
I'm returning ct's Be With You tmr, so my sis watched it for the final last time. I happened to join her in front of the tv set, and she happened to be viewing it with chinese subtitles. I was rather amused to find out the Mio's chinese name is 阿菱. You guys know how rare the 2nd character of my chinese name is.. u see pple with 零灵玲... but mine is so rare. Hence, I was rather amused. But I dont want to be so kelian like her.
Oh and I did my assignment 2 for gem2000. The item that i window-shopped for was Biore Perfect Oil Control Facial Wash. Fyi, Carrefour was the most expensive store compared to Watsons and Guardian. Haha, I wasnt expecting that actually.
Went for CSC day on Saturday.. took care of the little kids again. This time was a boy who kept running about. Had to chase after him at the Arts Forum. Imagine chasing him at the big big stairs at Forum, tired lehs.. And he refuses to tell us even if he is going to the toilet. Made us chase after him until the door of the toilet. So hyperactive. I'm sure I was a nice little girl when i was their age. And cute too. (: Realised I dont really know how to take care of the elderly.. Maybe I should learn. Anw, was feeling quite undecided whether I should run for OC for the special projects. Hmm..
Life's abit boring.. but thats because tutorials haven set in.

随性
it suddenly struck me tt playing jenga is all about selecting the zero-force member.. okay.and maybe steady hands.
im still looking forward to sch each day at least until now.. but according to someone.. im already 4 days behind! not a good prophecy.
'a word is not crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought, and may vary greatly in colour and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used'
-im battling between ma3501 notes and curious incident of the dog. haha....

gem two thousand
the lecturer posted some questions and we are expected to answer them and submit them to the workbin.
and then.. he had assignment 2 for us to be completed before 16/01/07 and it must be submitted to the workbin again..
So.. i think I shall go look for handphones... Yep.. theres Starhub, M1 and Singtel in TM.... Haha..
i guess the lecturer jus wants to illustrate to us 'price' is not equal to 'worth' since prices vary from point to point and from time to time.. see how nokia 7390 price plunges from 428 to 249 and shoots back to 428 again. sighs.
anw.. the module is : foundations of real estate appraisal...
until now.. its qt cute.. i entered the lecture theatre at 1.45pm for the lecture.. the speakers were playing some angmoh hip-hop music.. until the lecturer-kwamme entered at 2.10pm then he stopped the music.
For a moment.. i thought i entered the wrong theatre- science of music? or.. new media ? narh. jus joking.
a) You are travelling with three separate items: a hawk, a three-week old chick, and a few grains of corn in an open bag. The grains of corn in the bag constitute one item. You come across a foot-bridge which you are allowed to cross with only one item at a time. How will you safely cross the bridge with all the three items. CLEARLY STATE YOUR ASSUMPTIONS AND EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
Assumptions: 1) Hawk eats only chick and not corn. 2) Chick only eats corn. 3) The hawk does not fly away or the chick does not wander away when I am not around.
In first trip, bring chick over. In second trip, bring the corn over and on the way back bring the chick back. In third trip, bring the hawk over. Finally in the fourth trip, bring the chick over. All three items will be safely brought over.
b) There are 20 pheasants (birds) on a tree and you fire a gun to kill one of them. How many are left? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER AND YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Assumption: All birds on the tree are capable of flying.
and then.. he had assignment 2 for us to be completed before 16/01/07 and it must be submitted to the workbin again..
ASSIGNMENT FOR LECTURE 2
i) Your name & matriculation number.
ii) The ITEM chosen for the window shopping.
iii) Date & time of the visit (Window shopping must be done on the same day).
iv) Names of the shops visited
v) Price at each shop.
I was joking to chongtang maybe the item i ll shop for will be a pilot pen. Then, i ll go to Popular and Times Bookshop in TM.. Haha.. but no 3rd shop in TM sells stationery alr..So.. i think I shall go look for handphones... Yep.. theres Starhub, M1 and Singtel in TM.... Haha..

Its 1015 in the morning.. but it feels like 7am cos it has been raining raining raining.. I had a full 9 hours of sleep.. ShioK! Haha have to treasure this before tutorials starting turning full-blown.
This sem is gonna to be quite free with tuesdays starting at 2 and wednesdays free! Woot!
Yesterday was first day of the sem.. and i skipped half of the MLE lecture.. cos he was talking stories non-stop.. Starting from why we need to study Materials Science Engineering.. then moving on to why the promising yr1mech engine students need to study this.. then to why chem engineers need to study this and when i left i think he covered these 2 departments only.. Im so not waiting for him to move to: why bioengineers need to study this..blah blah blah
So zj n i left. When I walked to the ISB stop.. I saw Nhat Linh boarding the bus and heading back to her hall too! Tsk.
Maths lecture was equally "drift-able"..
Why why why.. No more interesting lecturers like the C.c Ko?
I'm pinning my hopes on lsm2103 later today.. Becos in his introductory ppt lecture notes.. there was a slide teaching us how to print notes.! Mus click: Handouts -> 6 per page -> Pure Black and White.
If he is going to deliver an interesting lecture later.. he's CUTE.
If not.. he's DUH.
I think I sounded qt happy/high school has started.
Actually.. I'm a little. Haha
Wait .. look at this!

从此以后不再 让心情被超载
心中的警铃说 我不能继续在发呆
期待着的明天 会是更美好的未来
how well is your 危机意识？
I keep telling myself tomorrow's a better day, day after day. im like fishing for glad little nothings amongst the mundane to make each passing day/month/yr a more worthwhile history.
owells, perhaps i lack excitement in my life, again.
maybe, the start of a new sem will help.
maybe, piling up of tutorials and surprise tests might help. Haha. Great joke and tough luck, girl.

Went for tuiton today.
She had a CME assignment to do and she asked me for ideas. Instructions is to draw a picture that motivates you or someone to 克服困难，勇往直前。
I told her to draw a night sky full of stars and write: 天上没有我们抓不到的星星. -> points to blog header.
Then.. she said that I grabbed it from a movie, so its not valid.
Hence I suggested drawing a rainbow with a sun and wrote: 雨后一定会有美丽的彩虹。
Yes, i ended up drawing the rainbow for her.
Now.. tts how cliche it is.. but who hasnt held on to this belief and before.. n thats how strong certain words jus works to power up our will and determination.
And for another 老掉牙的 saying.. for every up there's a down. :)
Chalet was great. Thanks Clement for the brownies and taking the trouble to book the room..and joycie for the discount coupon, Weixiang,ct,jeffery for setting up the fire and us us us girls as the umbrella models..and also a special mention for jeffery for the 有缘的鸡翅膀.. haha. And thanks everyone who came! Lol.. i make it sound like im the host.. nono..im only one of the protagonist who showered the responsibility on clement to make it a successful affair!

She had a CME assignment to do and she asked me for ideas. Instructions is to draw a picture that motivates you or someone to 克服困难，勇往直前。
I told her to draw a night sky full of stars and write: 天上没有我们抓不到的星星. -> points to blog header.
Then.. she said that I grabbed it from a movie, so its not valid.
Hence I suggested drawing a rainbow with a sun and wrote: 雨后一定会有美丽的彩虹。
Yes, i ended up drawing the rainbow for her.
Now.. tts how cliche it is.. but who hasnt held on to this belief and before.. n thats how strong certain words jus works to power up our will and determination.
And for another 老掉牙的 saying.. for every up there's a down. :)
