Cricket

Sorry for the title, couldn't think of any other better title, and since there's some crickets around my room now, which are quite loud, I'll give today's title... Cricket! Alright yes I know I'm lame, whatever. Nothing beats the joy of doing something random and its sublimal simplicity of being... Simply random. Oh my, I'm stressed.

Anyway today was alright I guess. My dad had vertigo last night :O Vertigo is basically like this super major wow headache which can severely impact you. Like you can't even walk, cause you feel your head is spinning. My dad had that, so he spent the whole evening at home. And I had to standby just in case he needed anything. But thankfully he's feeling alright now :)

So today was okay, I spent the day out looking for shoes. My cousin is getting married on Sunday! :) So I had to look for a pair of nice shoe, cause I don't have it, apparently. Anyway I have a nice pair now :) And oh have I told you that I'm going to sing there as well! My aunt asked me to sing a song heh, just to fill the event and I'm happy to do so :)

And then in the evening I went around with my sisters and her bf to send food to my grandma and aunt hoho. And I met my cousin after such a long time (the one getting married soon). His face hasn't changed I guess haha! Just that he's taller, that's definitely. And then I went to my aunt's house to have a chat with my cousin as well :)

Right I guess that's all for the day? Pretty short post uh... Let me post something else.

This is one of my favourite Mongolian songs! Yup, as I've told you I'm falling in love with Mongolian songs, so this is one of them. I posted a comment on Youtube about this song, and a nice Mongolian user replied my saying this song is about Mongolia and the traditional musical instrument called the horse head fiddle or Moorin Khoor (correct spelling?)

Have a go at this! :D

I really love this song... I don't know why. The melody, the chords, and I wish, the lyrics, are beautiful! I wanna know the exact translation about this song. But google translate has no Mongolian script so they can't translate this. But anyway, I'm thankful to have come across this song, purely ACCIDENTALLY on Youtube heh. Like it was on the suggestion box and I clicked it. Oh and I looooove the sceneries in the video as well. Just made me can't wait for my Inner Mongolia OCIP :P

Amazing what internet can do for us :)

I really feel that Mongolian songs should hit global, cause I think their songs are nice. But oh well, that's to my ear. I'm not sure about others. There are more songs, I shall post them here one by one hehe. Alright, time to do epistasis! Rawrr I wanna do them by tonight! Ciao!

Emptiness of the empty mind
86 more days to Inner Mongolia OCIP!

It's back!

One of today's best shots

What's it? It's the internet! Haha. It went down on Sunday morning, till today's afternoon, and till I don't know when. But the good thing is that it's back now anyway right? I wanted to blog last night but oh well I couldn't so here I am now :D

Yesterday, being a no-internet day, which means nothing's much to be done at home so I spent most of them out. I went out for grocery shopping with my mum and sis, and then my sis and I went swimming! But urgh the swimming pool's water was like murky in colour, I don't know why either. Well not thaaaaat murky that it's like unclear, just murky. I guess they hadn't changed it.

And since my internet was down at night as well... I guess it's a blessing in disguise but I finished my OCRM chapter 3 notes! I'm supposed to do it in line the weekday of this week but it's stroke off my to-do-list for this week heh. I guess that's the good thing about no internet, you have no choice but to do other things I suppose :D

Today was alright I guess, nothing much, went to my dad's factory in the afternoon, and then... Chillies' picking in the late afternoon! It was my first time doing that and I gotta say it's pretty awesome and fun :D It's like those activities that can make you shut-up-and-do-your-work kind of activity. And at the same time, it's pretty relaxing as well. It took your mind off life, and focus on chillies heh.

The evening in my dad's garden was pretty cold today. And pretty cold means... Clear skies! And clear skies of course means... STARS :D Yup there were some stars just now. Wait, A LOT of stars :P It's pretty beautiful. The night has been cloudy here so you can't see much stars but today is different I guess. Pretty nice to look at stars you know :)

Right... What else to talk about. I guess that's all for today? I'll be doing my GM bio report tonight! Hopefully can finish abstract, and half of introduction. That would be awesome really :) Alright GM bio come to papa :D

I wish life were as simple as that

PS: 89 more days to Inner Mongolian OCIP :D Yesterday was exactly 3 months more heh

At Changi, once more

Right, I'm currently at Changi T2's Sakae Sushi heh. I have not had my lunch yet so was feeling damn hungry. So decided to eat lunch here I guess. Plus I mis-calculated my time. My flight is at 5 o clock and I reached Changi at like 3.15? And boarding is at 4.30 so I have an hour to wait. So lets feast mwahaha. But in fact I ate little though

Anyway yup I'll be going back for 2 weeks and a half heh. Not sure if I can call this a holiday. It's like a freaking holiday with lots of work to do and the dreaded MSTs AFTER the holiday. Well well... I can't do much can I? But of course I shall not dread and complain and feel urgh about this fact. I'm going to get all the things done and finish my revision and studying for the MST hoho.

Oh well I really like blogging in Changi. I guess it's a very... Inspiring place, as I said. If it's possible I could have went to Changi at like 1 or so and do my report. I'm sure I'll be able to finish at least 1/3 of the report by the time of my flight. It's just a conducive, comfortable and inspiring place to blog, to write, and to do things. Not sure why.

Even though I have lots of things to do during the holidays, I still do hope to get some relaxation as well. The past 7 weeks of poly life is tiring too eh. So I'm sure all of us deserve a good break and some time off studies to relax and rejuvenate. I think this is possible, like to finish things, and to relax and have fun at the same time despite the work load.

It all matters in the planning. So... On the plane later, I'm going to list out the things that I have to finish, and I want to come up with like weekly plan. Since I have 2 weeks plus, I hope I can spread my work load evenly throughout the holiday. And of course relax at the same time. I believe I can do this. And it will :)

Alright that's all for now. Shall blog when I reach Indo of course! It's 3:57 now and I have to proceed to my gate soon so yup. See ya I guess!

And one more thing - I want a great, well planned, lots-of-things-done holiday! :)

Holiday is here... Soon. Wait, holiday?

Righty, it's... First June already gosh. Time's pretty fast huh! Can't believe we're stepping into the 6th month of the year already, and like one term of my year 2 is gone, poof, like that. I used to remember how I hated when time flies so slow during classes, and to realise how fast it actually flows. Time is such an amazing piece of mystery isn't it.

Anyway today was an alright Wednesday. Pretty cold weather though.

WAIT it's not ALRIGHT.

Firstly, I have a pharmacology test today. It's 15% of the module, and it started at 9.30 (as mentioned). But I woke up AT NINE THIRTY today! I was freaking out. I woke up, jumped out of my bed, grabbed my towel, wet my hair, dry them, change my clothes, grab my bag, lappy, wallet, phone, iPod, headphone and ran out. Time spent? 3 minutes.

Waited for taxi, got one, grabbed one, went to school. Time spent? About 13 minutes. Reached Dover, walked/ran from MRT to T711. Time spent? TWO minutes. I reached the class at 9:48 or so. And thankfully they were just starting to do the test (it's online). Thankfully I switched on my lappy in the cab to save time. But whew! I managed to do and finish the test :D

Sigh, not sure why, lesson learnt: Set 4 alarms when there's test on that day itself. My iPod was charging last night, so I didn't use it for alarm. It has this nice strong loud alarm tone which usually wakes me up pretty easily.

Anyway after school was okay... Went to the new study area to wait for 3 o' clock to come with Syaz, Candy and Kai. Something funny happened though. Well Kai (and me actually) doesn't like people to read their blog post while they're typing it. Same as me, it's some OCD thingy. So...

Kai: "typing typing typing"

Me: Hello all.... (first two words of her post)

"PYAK"

She used her reflex and hit my tummy fats! Hahaha. Two words and PYAK! Hahahaha. It's not that painful but in fact I find it really funny! Heh. I think it's her Karate reflex.

After that we went for the OCIP briefing while Syazwani went for the DBS filming. Oh gosh the OCIP briefing made me really really really can't wait for the trip itself! Haha. The team member is awesome, fun and friendly people. Funny too hehe. I really can't wait for the trip to work together with them in Inner Mongolia :)

After the briefing, went to meet the FLP peeps! Sadly when we reached there the session was over. Thankfully we still meet some of them and Tony hehe. Had dinner (for me snack plus drink, cause I'm still full) with the FLC peeps at FC5. Talk and lepak together hoho. And went home!

Now I'm trying to finish all my "computer" assignments. Funana, Biorisk etc. I wanna finish em by tomorrow night... So lets try doing some now so that my burden will be lesser heh. Oh well I'm pretty... "stressed". I'm really someone who can't handle stress properly when suddenly somehow so many things popped out at me. Or if not, when I realise I have lots of things to do.

I guess poly life is just so different. I don't know. In a sense... Life is... Tougher? In secondary school, knowing I have like 8 assignments to do, of course I'll feel stressed. But I somehow manage to do them without feeling that -depressed- but in poly, it's just different. But hey, nope! I can't say I can't do it can I? I can do this, yup yup yup :)

Alright I guess that's all for today! Left with Biorisk to do now. Shee you! And urgh I seriously can't wait for the Mongolian Trip. Okay excited much hahaha. See ya!

At this rate, I can turn Mongolian for the songs I'm listening to haha. I'm really in love with Mongolian songs. Try them! :)

Brass Explosion 2011

Holy moly! I went to Brass Explosion Gala Concert just now and...

IT WAS MIND BLOWING! (literally)

I really really enjoyed the concert. It's my first brass band concert and it was just WOW! Seriously. All the soloists, Mr David Childs, Mr Morrison and the others were just heart melting! Especially Mr James Morrison who is just a fantastic/wonderful/brilliant brass player! He can play everything I guess. wonderful!

But it was a pretty long concert meow, like almost 3 hours haha.

But seriously worth the ticket!

Alright just a real quick update cause I'm feeling excited about the concert haha, so I have to blog it :P Alright see you then! Time to do some research :O

New respect for Brass Music! :D

Back to square one

Right, today my sis had returned back to Indo for good! Which means I'll be alone here :O Plus with the fact that my cousin is going back to Indonesia too, as he'll be continuing his studies there instead, that means I'm really alone! :O But oh well, that's why I said it's back to square one, when I first came here, where I have to live away from my parents.

So I guess I have to get a good used-to situation then I should be feeling okay. And thankfully there's a test tomorrow, so my mind is taken off somewhere else. So I guess I should feel okay! Hehe.

Anyway today was really an unproductive day. But I guess that's the way I wanted it to be. In the afternoon I just felt like doing nothing. Literally doing nothing. Cause I wasn't in the mood of doing anything. I wanted to run in the evening but it was dark and cloudy outside, with thunder roaring from the distance. Thinking it was going to rain... I fell asleep heh.

I didn't realise that I slept for like 2 hours from 5 till 7. I woke up at 6 halfway. I rushed to cook! Cause my plan is to finish cooking etc and start studying at 10. I have burnt the whole afternoon so I have no choice but to make a full good use of the night. But I cooked an awesome (Self-praise) chicken carrot and mushroom soup! It's so delcious :D

Here's the picture! :)

Oh well now that I'm alone, I realise I have to do more things. In a sense... I have to plan my cooking/food requirement for the week. Now that my sister is no longer here, I won't eat out that often (eating out alone sucks :P). So I guess more cooking and more da-baoing! So I cooked lots of soup today and saved some for tomorrow. Yum.

It's one week left to holiday. Which I'm not really looking forward or feel so excited about. Since the dreaded exams is AFTER the holiday. I'm not sure why SP made it this way. But since this happened for me, lets just see, who knows it's a better system (hopefully, which I feel it isn't). So I guess yup, hopefully I can study well during the holidays!

And I'll be going back this Friday, and decided not to go back for the entire holiday. Going back to Singapore 3 days earlier! Cause I really have to study for the exams. And hmm I got this feeling that I won't be studying much during the holidays either. It's a holiday for goodness' sake haha, I find it really hard to study. Doing work is fine, studying is a bit hmm.

Alright I guess that's all for today! Gotta bathe then study. Despite the fact that I'm alone now, I'm not going to give up. I'm back to square one, but I'm sure I'll be making my way to get the check-mate. Yep. See you!

Time to be even more independent :)

Do what I say I wanna do

Right, it's Friday night and I'm finally able to take some time off at night to do what I want to do, right after studying! Ouyeah, I did PK2 just now, and I did it before 12 and so... I can blog about the day! Heh. But yeah, my rule is that I won't blog if it crosses 12 (as in start to blog after 12, other than that it's okay) unless it's like... Something I really wanna write.

Okay nevermind if you don't get what I mean.

Anyway today was alright I guess. Feel so accomplished today, I'm such a good boy this Friday! Haha. Even though my class started at 12, I went to school at 10 to finish all my tutorials etc. But I felt so meow after seeing the email from Mdm Mah that says the deadline for the Biochem e-tutorials is 17th June. Oh my, and I rushed everything.

Hey, look on the bright side, I'm done! :D

Candy joined in at about 11 I think. We studied till class was about to start and we headed for class then. Oh my, I really find it difficult to hold my concentration together during Ms Chan's class. Cause I just find the lesson so difficult to understand! At first I felt okay and focussed in her lesson. Then my attention starts to drift. Any recommendation to keep my focus on?

Had the scifinder training in library after that. It was alright and fun! thankfully the trainer is someone cheery and nice. Was expecting this librarian with a monotonous voice and boring way of teaching (stereotypes... Oops). But she's nice hehe, and I find Scifinder really interesting! :)

Wanted to donate blood with Vithya, Candy and Kai, but the queue was so long so Vith and I decided not to donate blood. Ate lunch with Vithya (she ate cookie though). Thanks for accompanying me to eat my lunch! :D And then I went to T11C for further studying while Vithya left for home. At T11C there were Larry and Nic, and Niv joined later.

Had such a fun time at T11C, trying to hack Niv's account, and Niv trying to hack my twitter (which she succeeds by the way :P). But... Ultimately... I GUESSED her password correctly! Holy crap! Hahaha. But too bad she changed it already now :P And of course I did some biorisk and Pharmacology there. But just wasn't in the mood to study, oh meow.

Went to cut my hair in the evening... And bought ingredients for cooking and yep, that's all for the day :)

Anyway I've decided to start this "series" of writing once more. Not holiday writing but.... My favourite things! Haha.

My favourite things #1 - Sunset skies

You know don't you just love it when you are walking, on your way home or something like that, in the evening. And then you looked up onto the sky and see this nice picturesque view of the sky, pink, purple, blue, yellow, orange, or golden in colour. Yup, I think seeing beautiful sunsets is one of the most blissful thing that can happen in life seriously.

I enjoy sunset skies, or basically, skies. I think they represent freedom, they represent joy and peace. They represent lots of things. For instance I believe that skyscapes are like life. They are in constant change. Sometimes they are beautiful, sometimes they are just pure plain and grosteque. But that's the beauty of life isn't it? It's never perfect :)

Alright I guess that's all for the day! These new series will not be long long, just something short and simple, telling a short description of what I love hehe. Alright ciao!

Contain the excitement!
