11:02 pm	who posted the msg? ahha pls id urself ^_^ n yes... everything is  getting back into order now... just more intense experimenting now... have taken additional 4.5 hours of teaching so i'm doing 45 now. this week i'm aiming to carry out 6 experiments. even prepared my lunch n dinner all ready for tomorrow to go into late hours. hopefully i will get some good results. :) the animal ethics for UQ have been submitted and we got approval for our guinea pig  protocol finally. heh... but i'm currently doing some interesting work with the fallopian tube... u will nv believe how tiny the guinea pig fallopian tube is compared to the guinea pig sperm duct. the first time i tried mounting it into my apparatus, i nearly became cocked eye. Recently i have attended a self-improvement course by the landmark education. Its really a fantastic course n i learnt much. i feel i'm a more empowered person. now i feel i can even be an inspriing leader! haha me inspiring leader? i nv used to even think i'm a leader, dont even say about being an inspiring one. I want to go on stage and dance my heart out! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:01 pm	I'm feeling tired and overwhelmed. Didnt feel like i have been having sufficient sleep. And overhelmed because of the things i have "on my plate"... namely, my lit review which i was suppose to start writing a long time back... animal ethics for UQ (which is due this friday n i have no idea where it is at), animal ethics handling course which is 2 days n have a test at the end of the 2nd day.. anything to do with test scares me... means i have to study n memorise.. i dont like it. on top of that, i have to attend all the pre-pract in preparation for the classes i'm teaching. Having attended 2 teaching courses now, i'm starting to feel stressed.... feels like i have alot to do and watch out for.. :S n i havent started reading up on the things i'm teaching yet as time was tight.. so its all adding up. I M STRESSED. every week got a new stress cos of datelines n stuff. i'm going to have a heart attack if this continues. gah.. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:37 pm	I am once again brought to mind how fragile life can be.. i send my comforting hugs to my beloveds u know who u r if u r reading this. *hugs* I have done a feat again today. i finished 1 book. start to finish. i didnt think i could read so fast. its like the words feeding me soul. My current list: 1. Dark Prince 2. Dark Desire 3. Dark Descent (short story attached to Dark Prince) 4. Dark Gold 5. Dark Magic 6. Dark Fire 7. Dark Challenge 8. Dark Guardian (the book i bought from yesteryear) Do i only have 3 more avaliable? some times i feel i should slow down. Yet despite the speed i'm reading, i'm savouring the detail of the writing. My apologies if u r already bored of reading about my reading (that sounds weird) haha cos u know, i'm not really doing anything much here down under besides going to uni, cooking, eating, sleeping, grocery shopping... the other thing i have in my mind is reading and watching show. beats drinking n clubbing i suppose haha well sooner not later, i will need to get down to 2 things... reading n writing my review (uni stuff) and my exercise (now that i'm growing n definately not taller). Aiwen just left for Africa so its back to my home alone again. I admit i actually quite at ease being alone but there r moments when u feel u just need someone around u. Gonna miss my roomie! She brings so much life to me here heh~ i must admit if i havent met her, life would have been more difficult for me... in terms of settling in n also company. She's one of my very few friends here. Not complaining about my small circle of friends, in fact i love having my small circle of friends... always feel its better to be close to a handful than a whole world of aquaintances. Anyway, she'll be back in March.. i will look forward to then.. n meanwhile, i will enjoy my 6 weeks of "solitude". Be assured that i can also be happy with solitude (not too long of course haha) recently i read something interesting about myself and my fellow virgoians... some of you would have heard this before for i apologise for repetitions. so i was reading about virgoian lovers n they said there r 3 types. the 1st being a very practical lover... so just basic very practical no flare. 2nd being the type that loves loneliness and is very happy to live with that. 3rd being a nymphomaniac in monasic clothings. hahah the 1st 2 is really type of virgoian character but the 3rd took me by surprise and this to add to the fact that i looked at the analysis of all the other star signs n it appears only the virgo sign had this break down of types of lovers lol how fascinating. i'm not a full believer in a sense, like many, i only believe if it coincides with me haha i reckon its the human instinct of the need for understanding. but then again i also always believe that we should believe in such things. better safe than sorry. but of course add abit of ur own common sense to the whole application. long post... geting sleepy... nt he damn mozzies... so itchy.

10:15 pm	It's an obsession! i started reading and i go on n on... its so hard to stop myself. From the time of my last post... probably 2 or 3 days ago... till now.. i have finished 2 books. which makes 2 days per book. I love christina freehan. u may say its reading so its ok but when i get hooked.. i just go on n on n i neglect my sleep time.. hence, i'm turning into a panda since i had to go to uni the next day. So i decided that in order to let myself get more sleep, i'm not going to bring a new book in my bag. yes i almost always have a book in my bag (hmm maybe that explains y my brain is having a hard time coping with my astigmatism. cos everytime i concentrate on reading... after awhile, i look up, everything is blurred n its taking longer for my vision to clear. didn't used to be like that when i was younger... hmmm better ask my optician the next time i see him.) anyway, yes, decided not to bring a new book in my bag so that i wont start reading... then i wont get hooked up again n loose sleep time.   on other note, i really think i should get back to exercising again.... start going to the gym n start having long walks by the bay... my tummy is coming out n i'm losing my definition!! argh! cannot let it happen!! yes i have officially stopped exercising for almost 7 months. its terrible. its my 1st period of time in aussie that i nv did some form of exercise. I blame the 1st few months on my back. but then i really dont have much excuse for the rest except that somehow i got so tired i'm lazy. oh crap... i just remmebered i had surgery 2 weeks ago... cannot exercise until it heals... or at least until the stitches come off. damn.... i'm entertaining an idea.... hmmmm~~~ (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:02 am	so i went back to my little world of romance novels. its a world that i visit a few times between weeks. I seek dissociation without strain to my mind and this little provides just what i need. to add to the fact that it appeals to my nature. heh.... n yes... i have started quite a collection of them at home. so in this new "season" of my romance revival... i discovered that i picked on a book written by an author i read sometime back. Having memories of the previous book i read by her, i remembered her to be an excellent romance novel writer with a very wonder and creative plot. in paritcular, i like her creation of a paranormal race of ppl n used that as a theme for her book. so this time i thought why not pick a book by her? so i picked up "dark prince"... the summary at the back wasnt what i called the typical of summaries that would usually appeal to me cos i usually only buy novels that when i read the summary, i go omg.. i need to read this. but... i gave this book a chance cos on briefly reading the review, it looked very positive n also cos of my previous reading from this author. certainly was a good buy to me :D i'm like halfway through it n i love it. cos just what? i had conincidentally picked up on the 1st book for the series of books she wrote based on that paranormal race that she created. seriously, i loved her creation n this book is great in the weaving of the fantasy race. I sense the series calling out to me haha. why do i fel like my library is going to grow again? I can help it... books n reading r my addiction i think. must be one of the few things i really spent money on. thank goodness reading is good for u... haha now we know why i'm a specky. on another note while i'm happily indulging myself in one of my all time favourite hobbies... i believe i'm really enjoying life's givings. :) appreciating what comes my way. making new possibilities. I have learnt and i'm taking things as they come and building them slightly. i'm working on my life not just the academics. slowly but things r turning out not too bad. dont know what will come out of everything. might be positive or not, we'll just see how it is.

1:02 am	The operation is coming near... i'm feeling apprehensive because i'm a scardy cat... i'm scared of pain. :( and unfortunately, i have come down with a cold when i was in melbourne... i believe it must be a combination of lack of sleep n the cool weather, plus farhana lol... but i dont blame her lar poor girl. I'm only aiming to get well before the ops cos if not it will really be even worse post-op. today i hanged out with Kayanne at night... interesting how i clicked with her even though i met her briefly. I must say i had some fun bringing her around the habour n bringing her for good lamb ^_^ glad she loved it. Something interesting n perhaps an image booster for me. she claims that a guy was checking me out from a nearby bench while we were waiting for my bus. I didnt think so 1st first cos they can always be looking at our direction for no reason right? haha plus my hair feels greasy n out of place n i'm sweaty all over. then later when they got on the bus, the guy keep turning back n looking at me. i concluded Kayanne might be right lol. good. i havent lost my charm. i'm afterall the package no? <- narcississ ahhaha i quote Kayanne.. "u r just 2cm away from the perfect body. thats 96%" lol yes... thats something i'm really proud of. okok i shall stop before someone pukes haha getting sleepy... ciao~ (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:46 am	My Milestone although i had already decided some weeks back, I decided to still write it down anyway, a document of my life's milestone. I have let go and have let go entirely since I had the "talking out" conversation with him. I am ready to start a fresh start a new. N i'm very happy to say that. I'm ready for new possibilities. I'm ready to discover the other wonderful trees that i may stumble upon as i walk my life from now. :) This has been a good and wonderful experience. Packed with ups and downs, happiness and sadness. It all part of life that we experience, Some ppl maybe lucky enough not to experience the breakup like i did, some ppl like me r also lucky enough to experience it, learn from it and move on. I do not regret anything. It had been a wonderful experience and i'm glad that in the end we did still end at a good note and remained friends. Because whether i want it or not, all these had been part of my life. I want to embrace it n then look back at it now n in the future to say "yes, it was a lovely memory". The sweet feeling of 1st love. :) 1st loves are something which ppl will nv forget in their lives. I dont want it be be like a black streak staining my memory. I'm glad I can now look back n remember the good times we have had and also embrace the reasons why it did not work out. To be honest, I held hopes but i also know that its difficult for us. I was just trying hard n hoping hard for it to work so that i do not need to experience break up. I refused to look at the cracks and the difficulties we had although i know very well everyone could see. Its like choosing to close one eye so that the worst does not happen as long as u dont poke at it. The best lesson i have learnt from this is how to let go. To bring the chinese saying of "na de qi, fang de xia" to life. When i was more navie, I thought that was beyond my capabilities. How do you pick urself up after having plummet down? But this experience gave me new strength and understanding of myself and my capabilities. Of course support from my family and friends were really important, I would not have done it without them. Ppl change with experience, i changed for the better. I would thank him for letting me earn this valuable lesson because it was the only way i would have learnt. Hard lesson but not one that the new me cannot take :) I think we might have learnt some lessons from each other haha. Although I would have liked to anlaysed where we went wrong n teach each other how to improve, i dont think i have done that. I was just too afriad to lose last time so i didnt say. That was one of the big problems. Something i figured out myself and will take note in future. I'm very proud of myself. I wondered if i have taken letting go to its epitome haha. Welcome me to the forest my darlings. I have left my nursery with 1 tree behind. ^_^ (Comment on this)

10:42 pm	Maybe i'm too nice. Maybe I am being navie. Because i like everyone to be in peaceful harmony. I dont like unhappiness, anger etc. I like everyone to be happily ever after but it might be wishful thinking on my part. My life I have one person whom was very pissed at me (i dont know if thats still the case since not everyone is like me) and that was a long long time ago. To be honest, its still in my head although i'm not even close to the person. Dont ask me y i'm so concerned. Its just me... i want everyone to like me n me to like ppl. I dont like to make enemies. All my life, i remembered 1 person who was very mean to me, who made everyone be mean to me for the following 3 years n especially the year when it happened (my nightmare which i wont want to live through again since i really like everyone to like me.) surprising, I actually didnt really hate her... again dont ask me why.. i really dont know the reason. Interestingly, at that point of time, i actually attributed all the reason for the meaness from everyone to be because of myself. Now that i think about it, the worst thing i did was cheat for my spelling (my confession) n to be honest, i'm probably not the only one. Anyway, with her, she gradually took a backsit in my mind, only being triggered when something drastic relating to her happens i.e. like seeing her on the bus. but yeah.... the purpose of my post? I want peace and amiability with all the people i know. You know how u always wish ur newly introduced friend would clique well with ur other friends? I might just be very stupid to be nice to a person who wasnt perfect to me but I can't help it. I think its just me n i do understand that my loved ones, family n friends, would feel very indignant for me. I should too, for myself, cos even i think so. I did if u were wondering.. i felt indignant, angry etc. I have nv felt so angry to be honest. This feelings lasted for about a good week and a half. heh... my record. my sis can tell u. I cant last being pissed for more than a few minutes so cold war i will always lose. Interestingly, in my most recent cold war. I won. -> because i sat out for a week and a half being pissed n decided if i'm no value to the person even as a friend because the person cant be bothered to explain and reconcile, then i will not bother being one. I pick my pride over friendship (probably my 1st time in my life i picked this option). but of cause if the person tried to reconcile then my sole reason for picking pride over friendship crumbled. call me weak. call me stupid. cause i'm probably both. N so i made a friend again from someone whom i thought i will need to spend my whole life avoiding. Personally, I think its a very good closure. It has really helped me to move forward more quickly than before the reconcilation because now i dont spend time being pissed anymore and reliving what happened. I can put everything behind me. Yes, i might be giving advantage... hmm suddenly i had an evil thought and realisation. Isnt being nice to a person who have hurt u a worse punishment? Dont get me wrong, this is not my intention -__-" but i just suddenly got analytical thats all... n realised this is one of the worst guilt tactics for ppl who feel guilty for the wrong they did. anyway, this is the reason i did what i did. I'm probably always at the losing end cos i cannot stand not being nice. (Comment on this)

11:12 pm	Yes its been awhile... as usual. because i have become so lazy when i come home that i cant even make myself blog... much less go to the gym after uni to work out. yes i'm getting rounder. :\ I have just been surfing around facebook.... somewhere that i was there initial for the first few months n then gradually tapered off until now i just go there once in awhile. I found that theres really alot of ppl hanging out there. Its amazing how ppl actually keep in contact via facebook. check it n update it as much as they had. I feel i only go there like once every week or even longer between periods. N mostly i just go there to surf... not change or add stuff. I guess i'm still a more msn gal at that. Actually i'm more of a face to face person. I like to look at ppl when i talk so i can read their body language. look into their eyes when they r speaking. but well i guess msn is the next best thing. dont say web cam... even that is still weird. My life has been pretty still. utmost focus on my academic life. I think i have entered a "me" time period. I wonder if its any of a significant shift. oh well i dont know. I just know that i have gone into my reading shell. hahha thats how i spend quality "me" time. ever wondered y i have so many books? i love reading. when i'm reading, i'm lost in my own world n nothing really bugs me. I love that. Food doesnt even come to mind if i'm reading. Its like an obsession. Recently, i finished 3 books one after another. took me about 2 to 3 days to read each cos when i start its hard to stop. super happy with myself n i crave more. but i'm holding back for now. too many other things to do so i cannot afford to get hooked to the books. I spent a fair share of my time fighting for the things i want. sometimes i ponder what others tell me. they say if things happen, they will happen. Hmmm.. if thats so... then y do i bother fighting if they will come to me? however, i do know that some things i got because i fight for n a number of others, it somehow just happened like an invisible hand leading. Interesting but very confounding. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:39 pm	do i even blog anymore? 1 month is a long time.... i'm perpetually tired these days...i dont know y. just feeling tired. n i'm feeling that i need to step up in the academic area. i'm feeling out of sync. M i a PhD student??? why do i not feel so? i still feel like i'm doing honours... i need to get my projects going... everything is moving slowly... sigh... eletrophys work is turning out to be more difficult then i thought... after i began reading up on them. crapz~ i need to feel more in control with my stuff n that i know my stuff at the back of my hand.  on another note... those of u who dont already know, silly me have successfully injured my lower back by trying to take adventurous jumping photos. Pls note that lesson learn from this -> Be aware of ur age. U r not as flexible as u used to be. Especially if u stopped ballet for 5 years. wow... 5 years... thats a long time isnt it? it didnt occur to me. I felt like i didnt stop that long ago. Anyway, the result of the doc's visit spells a suspicion that i might have chipped my bone, which will grow back so the doc says. or just have a really bad bruise. There wasnt a confirmation as the doc didnt want to take xrays for young women if possible. He explains that its cos its near the ovaries. ok.... so tired.... somehow i'm kinda glad the week is coming to an end... btw, i think i now live by the day than the date. so i completely lose track of the dates.... everyday is just mon, tue, wed, thurs, fri, sat or sun..... it shocking to just discover that august is jsut about to end. This is good n bad. good that time is passing fast but bad cos i havent achieved much these few weeks. sigh.. (Comment on this)

10:55 pm	last night i tired to sleep with a building cough n a sore throat.... as a result i didnt get much sleep... n when i woke up this morning... my whole body is really aching... like seriously aching all over n my head feels like its been squeezed everywhere. these few combinations lasted all day n even now.... i sense a bad bout of flu is coming. i'm loading up myself with fruits n drinking lots of warm water. had a cup of honey water just now as well... n today is a horrible cold day. i'm dreading the cold when i have to go out tomorrow. i'm praying that i wont be going through the flu cycle... that would really suck.... *fingers crossed* (Comment on this)

10:45 pm	30th May!!! I have to make an entry. The long awaited day has arrived. i tided through n it was are good :) hilary n Dane felt it was a good thesis. so what have i learn from this beside the academic prospect? 1. I am very capable of surviving 36 hours without sleep. its not inhumanly impossible. 2. 36 hours tired ranges from... "I m SO tried!" to spewing profanities to urself without care in the wee early mornings to "oh gosh i'm going to collapse" to " i feel like crying" to "I can do this" to "i'm smiling n cheery for no particular reason"................... currently i think i'm in this state although finished the all big production is now definately contributing to my cheeriness. 3. I have broke a record of having 5 caffienated within a waking hour. 4. i discovered that i must have had abit too much coffe cos my legs n arms r trembling pretty violently at the slightest stress on them. 5. I'm starting to really enjoy my desk corner in the office area i have although its abit too late now but nevertheless i realise it before i have to give it up... hopefully i dont need to :D i really like it. The chair is really super comfty.. its a really good work place. ok for now these r some realisations... heh~ it feels kinda unreal... like suddenly a big load is gone but it hasnt hit home yet.... its a weird feeling. anyway... i have always prided myself that i can write ok"ly" ranging to a distinction mark if i have the time to work on things. But honours thesis writing.... its a whole new level altogether. the quality of work expected is so high n its competitive. I find that my "ok" writing becomes quite disjointed. I concluded scientific writing at this level is not really something i'm very good at. i have very obvious problems with the flow of my ideas, BUT.... i have to say i'm quite good at the practical part of things. "Apparently" my fine practical skills r quite good n unknown to me.... it was noticed when i was doing my 3rd year project with hilary n when she asked me to do honours n i agreed.... again unknown to me.... they (meaning the research group) had really wanted to give the pressure myogrpah work, which is what i'm doing.. to me because i was so good at handing the preparation. N its because hilary told dane that she cannot force me to do the pressure myograph work that she also offered me another project concurrently when she was proposing my possible honours projects. But then... dane said they r all secretly hoping that i chose to do the myograph which i did. hahha i think i really have quite a passion for this area... cos all from the start, i'm already very interested n requesed for that project in 3rd year n when i chose to do my honours, i only had the one thing in mind, that was what i really want to research on. so its good :) ok tired.. tiem for bed~ (Comment on this)

12:31 am	I  had my 1st meeting with Hilary today since i gave her to review my 1st draft. She said it was a good 1st draft but of course that doesnt mean that it needs some major overhaul. So from tomorrow, i'm going on war with my thesis for the whole week. Its going to need work. good luck to me. (Comment on this)

12:10 am	1 week left to the dateline of my thesis... why do i have a nagging feeling that history might repeat itself? lets hope hilary gets back to me soon. Besides waiting, i have also been working on my presentation these few days. it giving me a headache n making me freak out. Its too freaking long! i have managed to cut 3 pages out of the 25 slides i have in total for a freaking short 10 mins talk. I-CAN't-CUT-ANYMORE..... can someone pls give me the magic way of presenting 1 year's work in 10 mins? my trial runs have so far been 25 mins or longer.. i blame it on my fuzzy head n the fact that i havent constructed a proper speech but i'm sure its more than that... *sobs* n that is 1 1/2 weeks away... i'm so dead... i'm going to run it through dane to see what he thinks tomorrow. I'm definately freaking out n getting nervous... (Comment on this)

2:36 am	"If you r walking the right path, helping hands would be outstretched to help u walk your way." Perhaps this is what some of us refer to as fate showing you ur way? I have to keep this in mind whenever faced with trials in life. The road maybe difficult but maybe someone appeared suddenly to help u in someway or advice u in some way to bring u further down the path. then it makes u cant help but feel... yeah... feels like the right way to go. But perhaps sometime i tend to feel..... really? is this how things should go? did i get false signs or rather signs that i interpreted wrongly ? Sometimes when things do not go as u anticipated.... then it starts to make u wonder if what u r doing is really right. (Comment on this)

2:52 am	u noticed it?! u noticed!!! within a spend of one day n 1 waking hour period, i have chalked up 3 blog entries wow whee. I cant stop raving about zhang dong liang. haha He has totally joined the ranks in my favourites along with sun you peng. Not only is his songs nice but after watching a number of variety talk shows that he attended, i feel that he protrays as a very boy-next door. smiley (like me), shy, worry alot (like me), easy-going in convos ie. can joke around with the comperes, very zhen cheng... ok how do u say that in english? hmmm real? dont know cant think of the english word at this moment. Anyway, i realised that most of the "stars" that i like... they seem to have the boy-next-door style no matter how big they r. 1 quality that really got me about zhang dong liang is his shyness!!! hahah have i ever said that i find shyness a super X factor? hahah I loves guys who r abit shy. haha so cute. like they grow embarrassed n then do fidgety weird things that make them so adorable n make u want to go awwww~~~ (reminds me of my first meeting with T hahah that shyness. its so cute. I told him about it btw, haha said one of the qualities that attracted me was ur shyness) anyway back to my new love.  haha i cant get enough of the video clips of him going for the talk shows. I'm going to find more haha old ones new ones.. heard that cos of this new CD end of last year, he attended alot of talk shows. i'm going to dig them out of youtube. hope i dont burst our dl limits haha when i watched one of the malaysia concert clips... i realised that i was actually in the vicinity at that time!! damn it ahhah that was when we were at KL shopping at Billabong n then coming out... n there was this huge crowd in front of the stage n i was wondering who is coming. n then i heard the comperes say this singer's name "yu" something.. sorry cant remmeber.. n then i strained to see n theres this guy in white n i went like chey... i also dont know him so i carried on with my shopping. later did i know..... when i watched the video clip... it started where the "yu" guy was leaving the stage. hes a new-comer who just won a best new-comer award in taiwan btw... but its no wonder i dont know him since i dont follow the music industry closely. anyway, n then ZHANG DONG LIANG was up next!!! i'm like... omg... i was there! so close! i could have seen his live performance if i hanged around for 15 mins. crap. the goo thing is that he's malaysian haha so equals to more mini concerts in sg so i might get a chance to listen to a concert live which will be quite nice n considering i have been listening to a whole lots of his songs... i can sing along as i did in su you peng's concert (which is extremely cool btw.. i havent forgotten him haha). ok time for bed! i have swooned enough LOL (Comment on this)

3:44 pm	Can you tell ur loved ones 1 thing you appreciate about them everyday? it has to be something which the person did that day which you appreciated. I was watching Oprah over lunch today. I love Oprah and i'm sure theres lots of ppl out there who agree wih me. It not because we have been brain washed or something. I personally felt for me, its that alot of the things she say in her show makes so much sense n alot of times, the morals that she brings out at the end of her show are geared to self-improvement n improvement to relationships with the ppl around you. For that reason, i love her show.  Today her show was about helping a couple get their marriage back after 13 years of verbal abuse from the husband. In that, she mentioned somethign which was so true. "Ultimately, everyone just wants to feel appreciated. It doesnt have to be big presents during special occassions or something. Just small gestures to show that they r appreciated." This is so close to heart n personally, i have mentioned this point myself many times now to friends n family. The appreciation is so important n really... it doesnt take alot to tell or show the person u appreciate them.  You may feel oh yes i appreciate that... but really... do u want to keep that to urself n then for example tell the person altogether in 1 day every year, then let the person feel unappreciated for the rest of the 364 days? I may be exaggerating in this but it honestly may be happening to some ppl in the world. Y would one let their loved ones feel unappreciated for 364 days n be happy for 1 day when you can very very easily make them happy everyday with 1 sentence? "I really appreciate ur happy morning smile. Makes me happy to start the day." "I appreciate you helping to do the washing." "I appreciate that you try to spend time with me even though you r tired." It really is THAT simple. I'm not saying that telling them u appreciate them during say, Mother's Day or Father's Day or Valentine's Day, is wrong... I'm just saying that we could all make things even better if everyday is Mother's Day, everyday is Father's Day and everyday is Valentine's Day. (Comment on this)
