A break!

And so my last paper is a week away, MCQs with multiple answers. At least I don't have to write. It's still scary though, it's actually possible to get it all wrong! I'll have to use my week to scruntinise my notes and look out for details :(

Jay's new album is coming out very very soon! I'm gonna go pre-order it maybe tomorrow. I have a really good feeling about this album, the two songs I've heard so far are SO NICE! It's amazing, everytime he releases his album he makes me fall in love with him all over again :) Such a nice feeling.

Some very late photos:

A long time ago jacq and i went swimming, and while we were waiting at the bus stop for the bus home, this little bird caught my eye! It didn't seem to be afraid of people, it was just hopping around very close to me. So I took out my camera expecting it to fly off anytime, especially when the flash came on. But it didn't move very much, so I snapped away happily haha. It's not very clear in the photos, but it has really pretty green shiny feathers! Or maybe all birds have them, I just haven't been close enough to one to observe carefully. The bird attracted lots of attention too, some kids were shoo-ing it around, and it just fluttered its wings a bit and came back to the bus stop. I heard them speculating if the bird was sick. Probably so, 'cause most birds would have the sense to avoid humans if they wanted to survive.

So I've been feeding myself a lot since I'm mostly at home now and my mum has to work. It's quite frustrating when the only things I can cook are porridge and egg and simple steamed fish fillet. And prawns too, but i can't seem to get the sauce right. I hope jacq didn't get a tummyache from eating those prawns :( I kinda asked my mum about it, shall try again when I have prawns in the fridge. Heh. Yesterday I made yixin porridge and fish while I gobbled down the kfc he bought back. He sulked throughout the meal. HAHA.

Omg exams.

I can't believe my first year of uni life is coming to an end in one month's time. It's almost unreal to be sitting for my final exam for TCM in 3 weeks when I've only had 3 weeks plus of lessons. And I actually have 15 hours a week of this particular TCM module, when my friend only has 15 hours worth of lessons to attend per week. Haha. Someone once exclaimed to me, "Isn't it like JC life all over again!" I haven't had a chance to experience the average uni life, so it all doesn't really matter to me. I just know I have to mug, and mug, and get good grades and make my parents happy.

不再依赖

原来少掉依赖是这么可怕的事。
晚上不再有人哄我入眠，白天不再有人传简讯，下雨天不再有人帮我撑伞，不再有人帮我背包包，在我流泪的时候，给我肩膀依靠。。。午餐没洗的碗碟，不会有人帮我洗；不会做也不想做的功课，不能找人做；逛街的时候，不会有臂弯让我抓。。。我要讲恶心的事，不再有听众；我想要骂脏话，没有人愿意借出耳朵；不可能会大口大口的吃着美食，因为不会有人觉得可爱，也不会有人要请我吃；不会再有人觉得我满身是汗的味道，其实很好闻。

还真想大哭。

我们没事，只是有些事让我要想。。。如果有一天，我没有依赖的对象，那会是怎样的人生。。。

真的没事啦。

True legend a.k.a 苏乞儿

Went to watch TRUE LEGEND today, 'cause it was the only movie that wasn't "selling fast" and 'cause JAY's in it! And I wasn't disappointed, all the fighting scenes were very detailed and feels real. And JAY looks really cute in the film! :) It seems no matter what role he plays, he somehow always manages to add a little bit of himself into the character. That's why I like watching his movies, it's so him. Haha. It's quite funny how everybody laughed whenever he spoke, because the way he speaks is so different from the 字正腔圆 style of the other actors. I read that they had a 3D version of the movie, only for certain fighting scenes. If only they brought it to singapore!

It was BMS family day today! Basically all the students in our course get their parents to come and listen to talks and enjoy the sumptuous buffet. I was a little busy today, being a volunteer at the event and going for dance practice too. When I came back from dance I was just in time for lunch! Hungry me loaded my box with lots of rice and prawns and meat and vege. Then I had a little bowl of laksa too, and ended up being very full. There was this lucky dip thingy going on, where we had to visit booths and answer questions correctly before they'll let us try for the big prizes. I wasn't very lucky! Got a bread-zipper (??) that would probably come in handy for my biscuits. My friend was luckier though, and won a ntu jacket! Haha. But all these prizes are small compared to the lucky draw prizes. I really wanted the WII console, but luck wasn't on my side! Quite funny how everyone sighed together whenever the emcee read out the 1st digit. Heh :)

My role there was to be a guide at the tcm clinic, to give a short introduction of the passage pasted on the wall there. Turned out I only had to entertain one parent, there wasn't much to do. So much of the time there was spent wandering around, taking photos, talking to seniors, looking at the pots of herbs there, and reading stuff on the booths. I didn't know there are 365 significant acupoints in our body, and that there was no such thing as a 喜脉(the pulse that shows the patient is pregnant). So much more to learn, so much more to know!

Happy CNY + Valentine's!

We celebrated Valentine's on the eve of CNY, since he's gonna be pretty much away for the whole CNY. He hugged this very big board and came to my house early in the morning, and it turned out to be my present. Haha. Then not long after he exclaimed 大便！and went all the way home to get the receipt for the flowers-.- That wasn't very romantic. But I felt better when I saw people staring at him while he waited at the bus interchange with the bouquet in his hand. Ahaha! After that he didn't want to hold the bouquet for me anymore, saying that it was too AA. We went for a walk at Vivo, in my attempt to do some last-minute shopping for CNY. And there was nothing much to buy, so we spent much time at the rooftop area taking pictures! It was bright and sunny, very nice for photos.

Yixin bought me the watch I have been eyeing for some time too! I think it looks pretty!

The first day of CNY was spent visiting and slacking and eating pineapple tarts. There were a little more babies and children this year. It's amazing how little children can grow so fast! And seeing families expand every year...it makes me wanna start a family of my own. Haha. I always do/think things in a moment of impulse. I guess it's lucky I have someone like yixin who's irritatingly critical about everything under the sun but can delay me long enough for me to talk myself out of rash decisions. Haha then again, I couldn't really talk myself out of buying that watch!

Don't eat two waffles when you're extremely hungry.

On tuesday I woke up late and decided to wrap my bread nicely and bring it to school. Being the very forgetful me (and in a hurry too!) I left the bread at home. To think all the search for a ziploc bag was the reason why I was running late-.- Nevermind so I was thinking I'll have breakfast in school instead. Throughout the 1 hr tutorial my tummy was rumbling away, and the waffles at the cafe downstairs looked so attractive...I bought two and spammed maple syrup on them. At that time I was thinking, my tummy probably has enough space for one hot cake + sausage meal, what's two more waffles! But I didn't really stop to think I have never ever ordered two waffles for myself at my favourite prima deli, and that one was more than enough. Oh well. I finished the waffles and went for my lab.

The lab was fun! But very long too. 'Cause we had to incubate our DNA digests for like an hour before we can proceed with the practical. So we spent much time cam-whoring :) See our pretty eppendorf tube holders! At the end of the lab we got our little picture of the gel electrophoresis we did, but it's to be attached to our lab reports! :(

Anyway, by the end of the lab all the flour was starting to make my tummy feel bloated. Then I felt cold and really uncomfy. And a headache was starting to brew, making my head heavy. I barely made it home after 2 hours more of lecture and tah-dah, I got a fever! I'm sure the fever wasn't due to the waffles though. But the diarrhoea that followed after was. It's a good thing I'm fairly receptive to panadol and the fever was gone after a good night's sleep (slept at 8 plus wahaha). But I still don't have much appetite. Conclusion is, waffles are meant to be ate one at a time as a meal, or at least half of a meal. And they are not to be confused with hotcakes!

I don't want to do lab report!

But I don't have a choice, deadline's coming tuesday. Two lab reports! We used to have two weeks for one lab report, now it's the other way around-.- So now yixin and I are in the library, me obviously not doing what I should do and him reading his 三国演义. I think all my questions about 三国 made him interested in it again. I don't understand how he manages to remember all the facts though, like who killed who and who helped who. I think it's very difficult to memorise the names of ancient chinese, but that's what I have to do now! :(
