8月26日 something's wrong with meI always feel irritated when my father falls asleep at the sofa while watching tv in the evening then say that he's not actually sleeping, just resting his eyes and hear us talking. Yesterday the same thing happened to me. Only there was no in between state for me. I just conked for abt 3-5 mins? OMG feeling damn old can. The reason for the fatigue? First practical for Ecology to labrador park. It was quite weird not know much ppl from the group but ok, I made some friends although it felt weird cos someof them were in my ultra small stats class and I never once talked to them. Another thing that was wrong with me was that I totally forgot to talk photos though we were acting like total mountain kids, having discussions sitting on the grass and on bunkers in the middle of a secondary rain forest. Argh and it only occured to me when I wke up this morning.... Hai. Something is really wrong. ~*YN*~ 8月22日 伤感Have you ever gotten the feeling that you don't measure up in some way or another?
I sure have. But I guess that's part of growing up. You can't always get what you want.
I kept relatively happy this week even though I had to send off Aud and Hiu Yan those were definitely the low points.
 The send off
 Princess and the madame
 Got our "ice" fix. Can't figure out why this cost more than ice kacang.
 Convent of avid book readers.
 Wahahhahahaha . I think this is funny.
 From Hiuyan. Original disney candy!
 My olive green converse. I paid $60 for it >.<
Well I guess we should be thankful for the little things in life that makes us happy, without them life would just be a monotonous broken record.
Right now, I'm contented.
~*YN*~ 8月16日 first assignment of the sem. 6% of the final grade. Check out what I had to answer Why are you taking this module? My official answer: Pre-requisite to level 4000
biology modules. Ecology has always been one of my favourite branches of
biology. To confirm that I really want to specialize in Biology. What I would have liked to say: Definitely not because of the 8am slot. That and the fact that all the exciting BIO mods are offered in sem 2. And it is something that I can actually see, unlike cell signaling pathways. What do you wish to gain from this module? Insights on the global
environmental situation and how ecological studies are done. More trivia about the environment that would satisfy my knowledge-lust but most like be used to entertain/shock/irritate ppl around me because I can hardly see a lasting career (if we find a job in this field at all) in ecology for anyone who does not graduate top of the class. List characteristics of a module you took
recently whereby you were highly motivated to study it (e.g., your great
interest, lecturer’s strong enthusiasm, module was well organized, level of
difficulty was just enough, student involvement was great, etc.) Cell biology. Not particularly
interested (totally true) but the material was straightforward and the module was well
organized. So I actually enjoyed studying it. Because I got my ass kicked in the first CA and had to retaliate somehow. Its just not fair that ppl get rewarded for regurgitating but that's how the module works. So I did eat it and vomitted it out and viola~ 90% for second CA. From then on I decided not to waste the accomplishment and strive to score well for the selfish end of pulling up my cap. List characteristics of a module you took
recently whereby you were highly unmotivated to study it (e.g., your
lack of interest, lecturer’s lack of enthusiasm, module organization was poor,
level of difficulty was too high, student involvement was absent, etc.) Chem of the ocean. The module was
interesting enough though not stimulating and the lecturer had a habit of repeating
material on the slides 2 to 3 times during lectures. Questions asked in CAs
were either very easy or very confusing and made me feel like there is no point
in studying. A potentially interesting module was wasted on repetition of statistics and lists of elements. Shall not even get started on the lecturer whose BS skills are off the chart. Also because I really didnt 把它看在眼里 I only took it to accompany my friend and get a good grade (ironically I did the worst for this mod). What are your plans after graduation? Frankly, I have no idea.
Teaching perhaps. Since I have a wide range of interests. I have an unhealthy obsession with this question, which still remains unanswered. Name your three best personal strengths and how
you can exploit them for learning this module Adaptable to different
environments, persevering, self motivated. I believe that these characteristics
will serve me well during field projects and also to gain a good understanding
of the material taught. My BS skill in this area almost matches my BS skills in O level human geog. Name your three worst personal weaknesses and
how you can overcome them to cope with this module better Impatient at times, being
too straightforward and hating to fail. I am aware that I am sometimes too
brash and am trying to change these unfortunate character flaws. Also, I am
getting used to finding out how to successfully troubleshoot instead of being
fixated on not failing. Hopefully the changes that I’m making will make
projects and discussions more enjoyable and thus more conducive. I don't think I can ever fully keep my brashness at bay. I can only limit it to bitching in my mind. I still have a problem with failing even though I have gotten used to it, big fish in a little pond syndrome and all. What would you like to be remembered for? Being a decent human being
and making less people hate/dislike math and science. I guess this shows that I'm veering toward teaching. But seriously. I just want to be remembered for having a positive impact on someone's life i think that's a big enough achievement but we've all been led to think that we should all dream big or not dream at all. Some ppl are just more capable of being successful (note the phrasing, I think we are all capable of doing great things the difference is how bad you want it, luck, schmoozing skills, resourses, etc, etc.) than others. What do you think of this assignment? Necessary evil. Thanks for the extra 6%. What do you think? Too initimate ? You get what you want. (Too bad grades and academics are involved) ~*YN*~ 8月15日 First week in schoolOMG. I spent close to $300 this week. And I'm not done yet! Had my first lab session yesterday and confirmed that my microscopy skills is epic fail. I have absolutely no patience and I made a super hairy slide. Hopefully my streak plate turns out ok. I think all these bad karma stems from misjudging ppl. Yes I admit that I got sucked into the judgemental vortex and developed deeply biased views about some ppl. ~*YN*~ 8月11日 when fun = tiringSomething's really wrong when having fun means being really tired the next day.
Sooo.... yesterday we celebrated Aud's 21st.
The morning celebration was more of a entertain Aud session that ressembles a primary school kid's birthday party. It really gave 返老还童 a whole new meaning.
We made giant boats for hats, played concentration,danced, played musical chair/taupok, pin the magnet on the bear/7 wonders of the world and burst balloons for almost 4 hours??
Then proceeded to transfer the decor to the bbq pit for the night celebration.
Oh yah. Aud got thrown into the pool twice XD
I guess that explains why I fell asleep during lecture on the FIRST day of school.
~*YN*~ 8月8日 absolute garbageAfter a particularly frustrating driving lesson, I decided to go to parkway parade for some ego repair.
I totally love gramophone. They stock up on relatively obscure bands and gives clearance sales XD
So I bought this
 Don't you just love the minimalism???
And this is like the "best of" album so I get all the songs I want for $12.60!
The songs are highly addictive and some of them are kinda disturbing.
Like Cherry Lips (go baby go) which was inspired by a book, Sarah.
Saw this at the entrance of the toilet at the Cathay.
 If I were a guy I'd totally be creeped out by this poster and proceed to dispose of all the crap that was scared out of me.
BUT, being a girl, I'm highly amused. Not amused enough to watch the show though....
~*YN*~ 8月5日 Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blueThere are a lot of OLD things this week.
For one, AUD'S turning 21 tml!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PBFF!!!
Also had a gathering with old frens at waraku. For once, most of the guys showed up and I'll have to admit that all of them look and/or behave differently (as in better, I think).
And as usual, we caught JM making weird faces.
 I distinctly remember someone saying "tall ppl stand behind" -__-" They may have changed but they never do grow up do they?
 The girls. YY made a cameo appearance and DY actaully totally forgot abt it. Poor girl's brain hsa been fried by all the FOC stuff.
 The guys and their reverberating laughter
 The infamous fish face.
Then I tried something NEW (well not really but its relatively new to me).
That's me looking terrified. Started out cycling but kena psycho-ed into trying. Going to do it again on fri XD.
Went to get a new cap. Have been procrastinating for quite some time abt it. But this was 9.90 so I just got it. And today ended the biannual nail biting session. I got all the 5 mods that I was planning to take
Forensic sci was seriously WTH. 803??? luckily if all things work out, this is gonna be the last time I'm using my general acc. Well for the BORROWED part, I went to the library today and got a copy of True love and other disasters by Rachel Gibson. This means that 've officially exhausted the author's entire collection. But I'm still tyring to work up enthusiasm to read 2 of her books (that's never good... feels like I'm just going through the motions of reading them). And finally, the BLUE...
From the bicycle chain. Note to self: hold on to the bike while trying to stand up while paddling. ~*YN*~ 8月1日 Movies movies moviesABC recently made 10 things I hate about you into a tv series which made me re watch the movie (for the 4th?? time? I've decided that I need the DVD)
I kinda love the actors from the movie Heath Ledger has unfortunately departed, Larisa Oleynik seem to have disappeared, Julia Stiles seem to not have a lot of exposure these days so that leaves Joseph Gordon-Levitt...
Oh whee~~~~I totally adore this dweeby looking guy!
And the added bonus?? Mathew Grey Gubler is in it too!!!
Can't wait for 15th Oct to come!
Oh wow...Joseph Gordon-Levitt's going to be in G.I Joe too. Cool~ have been wanting to catch this after seeing the trailers.
Should have some fabulous CG XD
~*YN*~ Milk is good for youI think I have a new fav band.
