Happy Vesak Day! :)

Righty, quicky bloggy here hehe. Been a long time again since I blogged. Pretty busy I guess. Well life has always been busy. I really really really appreciate today's holiday. It allows me to relax and feel rejuvenated, even though I did some studying :)

Anyway today is Vesak Day so Happy Vesak Day to all Buddhists out there! I've decided to be a vegetarian for the day as well. I cooked a scrumptious dinner here and it's so delicious! I cooked "meat loaf" and "mushroom balls" made out of tofu. And hell it's delicious.

Self praise? Haha

Anyway going to continue tonight's Chemistry Report. Gosh, report never comes to an end. After my brain busting Immunology report, now I have a Chemistry report. And next week gonna have Biochem report. Oh my goodness.

And I'm having SP Photographers outing tomorrow! Yay, first outing. Both excited and curious/nervous. Since I know only one person there. And I'm afraid to be "beaten up" again. Oh well lets have an enjoyable good time tomorrow! And make some new friends.

Righty, that's all for today. Happy Vesak Day again! And I'll end this post with a Buddhist Sayin I love that I learned during my religious class when I was young. May all the living things on Earth be happy and blessed!

And as for my message:

If we live to love, we'll love to live :)

Because falling sick sucks.

I love this shot of VCH

Must stop lomography... No, I mean reduce..

Sigh, I hate it when I'm sick... Well last night I was feeling alright. But today while I was studying in the morning, I felt feverish, my body was shivering and I was having major headache. These symptoms remind me of when I'm sick during one of my DPA class. So I decided not to come to school.

Well so headed to the doctor and I got cough, most probably flu and due to the night cycling, plus my unfit condition. And I just remembered that I didn't take vitamin C on that day so yeah. Feeling much better now though, but still having headache and cough.

And the worst part is? Having my allergy for paracetamol! I couldn't take panadol or any other fever medicine that I have. So I have to go to a doctor and ask for another fever medicine. Rawrr, well he gave me another medicine. Hope it works.

Being sick also sucks because I missed a day of lesson. I have to catch up and this is worsened with the fact that MST is in two weeks time. Aaaarrrggghhhh how can I not panic! Alright keep chill... I can and I will do it. Whew

Alright that's all for this short blog. I'm so not looking forward to tomorrow, cause I'll be getting my A&P Chem results! Holy mama. Okay see ya!

Lomography... Is like a bomb!

No-study weekend

One of the sunrise I took today in ECP

What a wonderful world...

Whew, as the tittle says, it's a no study weekend for me! Yay? Nay actually. Not sure if it's a good thing or not but nevertheless, I'm taking a break today, whew.

Anyway DBS night cycling on Saturday night was awesome! My first night cycling so it was really an eye opener for me. And hmm yup it was really fun. Even thought there were only like 5 DBS freshies that I know, I really feel it was an exciting event. It's a good chance for me to bond with them too.

So we started cycling at about 1030 and we cycled all the way to Changi Village. I thought it's gonna be easy but no. My bud, holy mama, hurts like crazy. But the trip was made awesome with the constant chatting with Ah Pa, Shu Jing, Alan, Candy and Shi Min. Made the trip not so long and tiring eh.

Ate supper at CV and we headed to... Old Changi Hospital. I swear it's one of the most eerie experience walking there. Just from the outside I can already feel it. Woooooooo. But the weird thing is, it didn't feel scary, but in fact it felt more "peaceful". Even though I did feel some weird feelings.

And then we cycled all the way back, and ate Mac breakfast together. While waiting for 8 o'clock to come to return out bicycles, the freshies except for Ah Pa and Rayna who left went to watch sunrise! Well not like literally sunrise but we sat at the rocks and we just watched the sky painted in orange and blue. Thank God I brought my lomo!

And all in all I finished everything and reached home at 9.20 bathed and slept till 3 in which I went to Orchard with my sister. And while I planned to study when I reached home, I've decided not to. Cause firstly I don't feel so well now, and secondly I'm freaking tired. So anyway see ya! Hope I'll have a great week ahead :)

Life is not about tears. But how you turned the river of tears to an ocean of happiness.

Sleep

I need some sleep
Photography by Yours Truly
Love the night, but why can't I sleep?

Somehow I've realised, how deprive of sleep I have been this week. So far, I've been sleeping for four hours (except for Sunday night). I need, I must, and I WILL change my sleeping time. This is really really bad... I don't wanna die pre-maturely haha.

Anyway lots of things happened haha, as usual shall not talk about those minor usual stuff. More of the major happenings heh. Well major happenings... I think nothing much except that today I went out with Jolene, Carmen and Sharon!

We went out for dinner and had a great time talking, crapping, laughing and more! And we shared some problems and rants about stuff. Which to me feels sort of therapeutic haha, cause I finally have someone to share my problems with.

And I'll be going out with Neal tomorrow. Long time no talk and go out already haha, he's accimpanying me to go to his friend's dad camera shop since I'm hunting for lenses haha, and there's a lomo shop as well.

Also... DBS night cycling is tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to a great cycling trip, since it was my first time. Well very little people responded to the event, hopefully everything is going smooth sailing hehe. And we're going to Old Changi Hospital. Kidding me or what.

Hopefully I'll have an awesome time tomorrow night :)

Alrighty time to sleep and re-charge. I need some terrible sleep. Whew, this is bad. Alright see you then!

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep

Sob

I love the sky today :)

And it was after the rain

Oh well, today was my A&P Chem CA1. First CA of poly life... Wait I mean second, cause first was CRS. Find second, whatever. And I screwed it all up! I thought the paper was going to be so-so but when I looked at the first question, I just... Went blank and skipped it. Oh God... How am I going to do for MST?

Anyway lets not dwell on one's fall, but rise in one's future.

What am I talking about?

Well today was a normal day I supposed. Bowled again with Syaz, Syazwani, Nivedha and Bobby. Great game. Couldn't believe I play and study at the same time (while waiting for my turn :P). After school decided to stay back with Alexis, Rebekah and Lizzie for study. Made the right choice, cause suddenly it rained pretty heavily.

And if I didn't stay, I would have probably slept on my comfy bed and of course, zero productivity. And I get to print all my notes for anatomy. Woohoo. Perhaps I should do this more often. Stay in school for up to about 6? And go home. After all I can buy dinner together as well so it's quite convenient.

Alrighty, back to studying. I'm rather sleepy now but will try my best to study! Time to buck up, 3 more weeks to MST holy mama. See ya.

Because I do things for my passion, and not for fame.

Tired

Living in desolation is horrible.

Loneliness and all that things.

Whew, I'm back to blog. And it's been like almost a week since I last blogged. This shows how busy I am getting into. Nevertheless, I've been trying to blog as often as I can. Life's pretty tiring. Need to learn more time management seriously.

Anyway lots and lots of things happened. Shan't elaborate on those non major stuff. This week had been good I think. Oh except for the part where I screwed my VIVA test! I think I got 8/10. Good but not perfect. Since Ms Joanne said that it's easy to score a 10. Oh well.

And I'm just back from Band Camp today! Well it was form Friday to Sunday. I think it was fun especially for the night game on the second day. I got dirty and smelly but it was really fun I guess. Oh and tiring as well. I slept for 5 hours straight after I reached home.

Which brings me to my next point, HME! Well I break camp on Saturday from 7 - 4. Met Candy at Dover and we trained to Bedok. I was so sleepy that I actually slept at the MRT station while waiting for the rest to come! But somehow, that short sleep I had refreshened me for HME.

HME was fun and sad at the same time. It gave me another perspective in life. Somehow, doing CIP is really meaningful and nice. Lovely and sweet. I had fun interacting with the old folks people. And somehow it is really sad to see some of their conditions. Horrible. Don't their children have filial piety?

And thanks to this I somehow become more poetic. Gonna post my poems soon haha.

So that's all for this awesome weekend. CA1 for A&P Chem in two days time. And I'm so not prepared. Gonna study tonight and tomorrow, FULL BLAST ahead~ I really hope I can manage my time as well as I can. Alright see ya.

Hope I can carry on studying tonight.

FISH

Wee, Lomo at SP
Lomography by Yours Truly
Oh yeah finally done with ICA too!

FISH! I think I just screwed my CRS test... Oh God, and worst thing is that it is my CA1! Hopefully I can manage to get a B/B+ at least, or better, an A and above! Whew, I'm just being hopeful. Hopefully Ms Au won't be thaaaaaaat strict.

Anyway why I screwed it? I feel that I kept on going aroudn in circels, AKA I didn't go straight to the point. Classic-freaked-out-me. And secondly I didn't say one major important point, oh shit. And I didn't show her another chart in which it is quite major as well. Flower!

Alright enough of my test. Let me talk about what happened yesterday and Saturday.

Oh yes I'm finally done with my student pass as well! It's quite irritating though, long story, and I got fined as well, how awesome. And it's freaking long! Raaarrr

On Saturday...

I went to Annabel's concert, Aurora Cantabile, with Brenda, Sharon and Cheryl. It was an awesome concert! Well it's a combined concert of the Guzheng, Chinese Orchestra and Choir.

The Guzheng performance gave me a better perspective to the instrument I feel. I realise how nice it can be heard in such a grandeur councert hall. Kudos to Annabel's duet with her friend, and a soloist. The choir performance, blew me away totally. I mean it's so nice... The harmony, the melody, dynamics and articulation was awesome. Totally impressed.

Last but not least was the CO. It's been like a long time since I watched a live CO performance, and yes I was blown away too. I love the song Qing Hua Ci, which is a song by Jay Chou but CO style, and memory of the youth. A very nice song! I wish I can get my hands on them.

And after the concert went out with Brenda and Cheryl. Sharon had to go for Mother's day dinner. So we went to Raffles City to have dinner, followed by doughnuts session at Jco. Very nice and fun, so many things we cathced up with. Ahhh those good old times.

And yesterday, I went to run with Victor Goh! It was a random event, I just asked him whether he wants to run with me and.. Tadah! And the funny thing is we met Jesher while we ran. So we ran together. Vic and me ran a total of 4 KM. Jesher ran extra I think. After running we went to Ghim Moh and we sat down and slack. Reminiscement, again.

We went to our own ways and I walked back home from the running track. Since it was getting dark, I was a little bit scared (cause the running track was quite secluded). So what did I do? I went to run the whole track again haha. Meaning I ran another 1km so... 5 Km total yesterday.

Alright that's all for these three days. Won't be blogging at night and that's why I blog now. Gonna be a long and tiring day, hopefully I have the stamina. Bonjournee!

Sigh, hope I can do well for the test.
PS: First time blogging in SP :)

Feel the heat?

Saturday, love it, hate it.
Lomography by Yours Truly
How can I not love the weekend?

Gosh yes it's not that it's hot nowadays (even though it's true) but more of that I'm feeling the heat of poly life! It's kicking in, sipping in like a poison slithering through your throat. Woooh, scary haha. But yeah,c an;t you guys feel the ehat of poly life now?

I personally feel that this week is the most toughest week so far in my poly life. It's only week three, and yeah. Pretty scary isn't it. Imagine if this is only the third week, imgine the fourth, and fifth, and sixth and more. Scary eh.

But as the saying goes, there's a will, there's a way :D

Today's Biochem practical was very nice. I love Dr Poi's way of teaching/explaining the practical cause somehow he made the class more "alive" and fun. Love it. Did chromatogram and Hydrolysis of caesin with sulphuric acid.

On the other hand,

Biochem lesson with Dr Elangovan was... Scary at first. Well we were late for 10 minutes because we were released late and we had to eat lunch. And then he didn't allow us to enter the classroom. I was a bit (??) cause he's such a nice person but somehow these two days he seemed "agitated". Well I don't know what happened and I don't wanna know why but in the end, the class was alright again.

Met Sharon at library to study first before meeting Jolene and Wei Lun. Yup today we had a 4E1 peeps @ SP gathering! But sadly Brenda couldn't come but no worries! We'll find a day to meet up again. After that headed to JP for dinner and movie.

We went to Old Town to eat, a nice place with nice food hehe. Jolene was very very spiced up with her nasi lemak's chilly, so funny haha. And we had a seriously bloody good time there! Laughed a lot, crapped a lot and talked a lot. Miss those days... :(

And we watched The Back Up Plan. I wouldn't say it's a ncie movie, pretty mundane in the beginning, I even fell asleep there. But as the movie goes on it is getting better and more funny. But overall it was just great. Not awesome.

Alright that's all for this nice ending to my pretty hectic week! Hope to have a good enjoyable weekend ahead, filled with more studying. Okay see ya people!

It's how you see it that matters. Not how is it.

Tears

I'm waiting for the day, where my despair will vanish into thin air
Lomography by Yours Truly
No, you don't understand me like how I understand myself. Sorry :)

Yawns. I'm really sleepy now. Looks like music is like a lullaby to me now. Which is both a good and bad thing. Good in a sense I can sleep earlier, bad in a sense I'll feel sleepy when studying, since I've been listening to music everytime I study.

Anyway today was an awesome day! We had our first basic immunology experiment and it was a memorable one. Why? Cause in my first Bimmun practica, I got my blood drawn! Haha, and I used it for the class to do experiment.

Syazwan, Alexis, Candy (times two!) and me were the volunteers for the blood. Bobby volunteered too but the needle hates him and somehow the blood can't just flow out. So yeah, sad case. But it's okay! We had fun. Pictures uploading in facebook soon.

We used the blood sample to basically see phagocytosis. Well we couldn't see it but we managed to see some cells like monocytes, lymphocytes and neuthrophylls. Really really an eye opener, since I've never done any of those things. And had a great time laughing with the people of my bench. Especially Syaz with his Hitler blood jokes haha.

The day went as per normal and yeah, I guess that's all. Let me talk about yesterday since I didnt blog last night. We had our first official-first-year band practice. It was nice, meeting with new people, with my fellow clarinettists. Made some friends like Syazwan (number two!), Jia Jun, Chris(?) and a few others. And Debra!! Hehe.

Played two new songs. One I was familiar but never play before, another I was familiar but never play before as well but... One of my favourite songs! Concert March Take Off. Whoa hehe. Really nice song there. Like finally, I'm playing those songs.

Anyway, I can't believe but... I just cried. Well not JUST cried. But I cried suddenly just now. Well perhaps it was the song that I'm listening to. And a few other reasons which I've been thinking since -that- moment. Long story, which I prefer to keep it shut :)

Alright then, wanna eat my cake! And talking about cake... Today, I stepped into Cedele, bought a slice of cake, paid the cashier, put my wallet inside, and walked away! I forgot the cake, totally. But the kind owner shouted and asked me to take the cake. Thanks owner haha.

A plus people! (It's an informal goodbye in French :P)

I'm looking for the things, that never change. Will I find it?

Paranoia. Crazy paranoia

Go away you stupid paranoia.

Lomography by Yours Truly

Yes I took this in the middle of the road.

Righty, it's been long since I've blogged again hehe. Time for a quick blog! Anyway I'm approaching the third week of my poly life, and within 5 weeks, my tests are coming to haunt me. Life so far has been quite good I guess. Band's starting tomorrow :D And I'm looking forward to it!

As in for the studies, it's alright I suppose. So far it has been a good ordinary flow that I always have. I'm still carrying out my plan but I doubt it'll succeed. Well basically my plan is to have a week where I'll have my weekend TOTALLY OFF from studying. Except for Sunday. But it seems quite impossible huh.

And yeah life in poly is such a huge difference from secondary school life. Today while I made my way to the MRT. I simply ponder, and think deeply. Last year I was a student wearing uniform, carrying textbooks and assessment books.

Now I'm wearing casual clothes, carrying a laptop and textbooks in the form of papers. It's quite funny how time could fly quickly huh? I'm really fascinated, and shocked at the same time. Of how fast time quickly you know.

So why am I so emo? I don't know either :P

Anyway about the above title. Yes as some of you may know, I am someone who is freaking paranoid. Paranoid about freaking little things. I'm currently in paranoia about something. This super-impossible-to-happen thing. And I'm fretting about it.

I've no idea why I'm in such condition. I hope I'll forget about it ASAP. It sucks to be constantly reminded about that thing. Oh gosh. And trust me, you'll be very very very "uncomfortable" whenever you feel about it. Being paranoid sucks! A lot.

So anyway, I really really hope I'll stop thinking about it. I actually did a research on it. I'm sort of obsessed with getting rid of my paranoia.

It sounds dumb but. Oh well.

Alright I'm heading off to study. See ya all and hope tomorrow will be a great day! And I know it will, cause I'm going band again haha. Bonjournee!

Paranoia, please go away will ya?

Lomo, la lomo

This is sunrise (finally able to take one!)

Lomography by Yours Truly

See how awesome Lomo is? :D

Today, was a tiring day! Yeah I know it's a Saturday and everyone should be resting and not be feeling tired. But oh well, did lots of shopping with my sis today. Yeah She's feeling much better about her pain thingy. In fact she said she doesn't feel the pain anymore, sometimes. Good for her :)

And she's going back on Tuesday so we went to shop for things my mum asked her to bring back. And we did lits of walking as well. How can I not feel tired? But anyway I'm done so yeah. And looking forward to having a goooood, looooong rest tonight!

BUT!

Yes I just remembered I have homework. Oh well, I seriously have to learn on how to juggle my time very well. Juggle it between work, studying/revising, studies, RESTING, computer, TV and even more. And oh I must also remember band and French. Anyway I'm trying out a plan hehe. Hopefully it's nice and working.

And oh the title of my post. I'm addicted to lomography! Oh my God... It's dangerous cause I have to control my film buying! But it's so nice... Arrgh love it haha. And I'm considering to get a good lomo in the future. Even though mine's good enough I think.

Alright then see ya all again! I'm trying to finish my homework by tonight so that I don't have to do it by tomorrow, and I can use the time tomorrow to study. Gah, Poly life is not an easy life, well at least for Biomed Students. Alright see ya!

I'm sleepy. But I have homework
