Updates

Phew~ After slogging through 7 and a half hours of lessons without break yesterday, I have decided to sleep till noon and stay home today. I am still feeling drained since it had been a week filled with deadlines. Both the poster and online tests that were due yesterday had taken much of my energy. The poster presentation had turned out well, though I was smoking the teacher with information I didn’t even know existed. I guess presentation works on the basis of 3Cs. Convince, confuse and con. It always works!! Or it is money back guarantee.


That’s my partner – “Calcium” and me in front of our poster.


For the lecture, I was unprepared and could hardly understand the topic. Diffraction, reciprocal lattice, bright field, dark field…. Only 20% was absorbed, and the rest were filtered away. Actually, I start getting nervous when I hardly understand lectures these days, because they were just so hard and I do not have tutorials to fall back on. I think tutorials really help students understand the topic. =(

On a bright side, 14 October just passed and I’ve turned 23. I never fail to blog about my birthday each year so it won’t be an exception this year too. 23 had once seemed so old when I was a teenager, and I always wish that time will stop when I turn 21, but obviously my wish was not granted.

This year, I was singing myself a birthday song under the romantic moonlight while walking home alone when the clock struck 12. My last traumatizing encounter of age 22 was that I saw a bangala peeing along the roadside under the streetlight. Horrified, I squeak like a mouse and crossed over to the other side of the road immediately. Shortly after, well wishes came pouring in to dilute the gross sight. What a way to end the day…

My birthday this year is slightly different from the previous years, with the fact that I am now single. Well, let me just come clean and face it. I do not wish to bad mouth him and what had happened is solely between the two of us. The main reason why we had gone separate way was due to the fact that I was an agnostic polytheist while he is a monotheist. End of story.

Anyway, I do enjoy my birthday; especially the few celebrations with some friends whom I never thought will give a damn about me. People like yl and derrick were the two who had given me a shock but brighten up my day, while Mr Kennedy and Mr Pole never fails to put a smile back onto my gloomy face. Not to mention, some sec school and college friends I spent over the weekend had also given me a push in life.


That’s Mr Pole, who insisted that we ate a chicken with 4 legs.




That’s Mr Pole puking after eradicating the entire meat platter.


Zhen do not wish to be featured, so I’ll let her have a happy face. =)


I *heart* rus!!!


I *heart* manda too!!!

As I grow older, I feel that my birthday is just another day. But this year, amazing things just keep happening. I woke up in the morning with a beautiful sunflower blooming outside the window. Yes, my sunflower is finally blossoming after 3 months!!


Taken on my birthday, even before I brush my teeth!!

So to speak, I grew myself a birthday gift. However, my plant is a complete flop because it never grew straight and the flower is facing the floor. Isn’t it obvious from the picture?? Right, first attempt failed. I will try this out again soon.



My mum’s plant is growing straight up, why is mine like that?? *scratch head*

Birthday presents that I received this year is even more amazing. Don’t believe?? I’ll show.
