I Miss You

Remember the post which you said that, when I get to Melbourne, there would be an

ExpLosIon of CrazY AweSOme FUN!!

True enough, there were a lot of fun throughout my stay here. The random times when we go out and the random stuff we do are pretty quite crazy and fun!! Haha..

The memories I have here would be something etched to my heart now and forever. Throughout this whole time, I've learned a lot. Of which, you've taught me pretty damn good lessons.

From directions to life lessons, you've guided me through the journey here. The journey being away from home and away from the comfort zone. Thank you very much, Cheryl.

Do you know that I started to miss you even when it was just minutes after you left? You really mean quite a lot to me.

I'm now doing things I don't usually do. But you know you would do it. I'm cutting my fruits to eat. Somehow, I just remember to eat them now. And guess what? The ice berg lettuce you left, I ate it pretty RAW. Plus, (oh my, please don't laugh), I'm listening to songs by Secondhand Serenade. But I only like some though. haha.

Oh well, just want to thank you once again for everything you've  done. Sorry if I've ever hurt you, and sorry for the times I may not be able to stand by you. I miss you.

for a hAppier life..

Got this from an email..i wont be forwarding the mail but i'll post it up here instead..

1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day..
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2007.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. GOD heals everything.
28. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
29. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
30. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
31. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
32. The best is yet to come.
33. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
34. Do the right thing!
35. Call your family often.
36. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
37. Each day give something good to others.
38. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
39. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
40. Please Forward this to everyone you care about.

Love, Lust & Infactuation

I recently found this while web-surfing.. (http://www.wikihow.com/Know-the-Difference-Between-Love%2C-Infatuation-and-Lust)

-Lasting relationships are those that are built on love - not infatuation or lust. Imagine the person you love in 50 years when they are old and fat. Would that change how you feel about them? If yes, then what you feel now is most likely lust/infatuation - not love.

-Give it some time. Love takes root slowly and grows with time. Infatuation grows into full bloom almost immediately.

-Keep in mind that "True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be." (Unknown)

jusT to spiCe up the blOg a liL...

my new red poodle. female and male. but the male one was just sold to someone. hopefully she'll breed and we'll get a family of the REDS! haha.

What’s wrong with the world?

I'm somehow feeling down now. The excessive workload from uni (be it a result of my procrastination), the people, the work (I'm jobless right now), the money and the beauty.

17 days ago, a friend who is my age just passed away. It was an accident. Not a normal accident, but an unusual one. I wasn't a close friend of his. But this makes me realize, and hit me hard, about how short life can be.

And not long after that, I heard that another friend of mine, his dad just passed away.

Life seems to be unpredictable. And with due respect to what Cheryl blogged in the earlier post, I have to say:

I'm SORRY.

Sorry to those around me, for every wrong thing that I've done, any words or actions that have made you felt uncomfortable or make you feel in any ways negative.

Sometimes I just don't know. What have I done wrong? And why do you treat me this way? I guess I don't mean to hurt you in any ways. And please don't be all sweet and nice if there is something you are really unhappy about me. Just let me know. I will change if it's my fault.

 

Next, I would like to say…

Thank you!!

Thank you to all of you, who had helped me in any ways. Be it in terms of giving advice, listening to me, helping me out with academics, or just being there for me. Especially you, Cheryl.

Cheryl, thanks for being there for me, even when you're miles and miles away. Thanks for standing by my side when I felt that there is just NO one by me. You had been a very very good friend. Selflessly, you stood up and helped me in many ways. Helping me to go through those emo times and all. I'm thankful, really I am. I just don't know how I can repay you. Also, thanks for being sincere and honest with me about everything. I really appreciate that cause you do know that not many people can do this.

To others, I would just like to say thank you to all of you. Just in case, anything were to happen to either me or you, which I hope it does not happen, touch wood. Haha.

Oh and on another note, I don't know why guys just like to come and emo to me about another girl. Meanwhile, they are flirting with me as well. What's their problem weih? Can some angels please bless these confused souls?

 

Life's unexpected..and full of surprises.

Life..

one thing no one can explain what exactly it is about.

a period of days?
a sequence of things you do?
a story pre written by Someone Above?
or just merely playing a role in the story?

well? no one can tell me the answer.

since we all dont know what life is about..

why dont we DEFINE life the way we WANT it?we create it the way we want, Design it and live it the way we want and make the MOST of it..

since i never know when my time comes, my time left in this game/story/play/, the number of years, months or even days left..

Beautifully stated...

So long I haven't been updating this site. I have been busy with studies and work as well. I guess I cant keep to that weekly review. Maybe once in awhile I'll try to do a review. haha. anyhow, i found this in my email and find it meaningful. Spend a lil time pondering over it. =)

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Classes

Hey, one week has past, I'm in library now, waiting for the last class of the week. (this was when i started the post, bt finishing the rest now on a sunday). Things are not quite the same anymore. I dont have to mention why, you know it. But no worries, I'll cope, and it's just a matter of time. And I'm awaiting for your return! =)

Here's a review of what I had learned in classes this week:
BTH 2741 (Biochemistry)
My lecturer for this week is Ms Lau. As it's the first week, it's more or less a review of what we had learned earlier. Like exergonic is when the product has lower energy than its reactant, and vice versa for endergonic reactions. And she talked about bonds. See if I can make this interesting.

Covalent bonds are strong bonds, just like you and me, and they share electrons jst like how we share our similiarities! =) Then, there are the non-covalent bonds. Ionic bond, hydrogen bond, van der Waals and hydrophobic. I know you know what they are, so I wont elaborate further.

And then she talked about blood pH. Basically we maintain our blood pH through our respiratory system and metabolic system. Respiratory is by controlling CO2 levels whereas metabolic is by controlling the bicarbonate concentration. =)


SCI 2010 (Practice and Application of Science)
Dr Song BK is our lecturer. This subject doesn't make me feel there's any importance in it. Or maybe I just havent see the importance yet. He talked about what science is. Science is a way of thinking, finding things out to understand the natural world. He also mentioned that science has got to do with "why" and "how" rather than "wow" or "walau-eh". I find him so funny saying walau-eh. And he explained it to the international students what that meant. Also, he said we should be able to communicate science with others, otherwise it'll be like syok sendiri. Yea, he used the word "syok sendiri" and tried explaining it to the international students what it meant.

MIC 2011 (Microbiology)
BORING!! I'll just make this short.
-Types of microorganisms are : fungi, protozoa, algae, bacteria, virus
-To describe bacterial cells :

a) Cultural Morphology / Colony Morphology
-based on what you can see, eg size, shape, texture, elevation
b) Cellular Morphology
-based on structures under microscope

-Light Microscope: Increase resolution by increasing NA (numerical aperture)
-NA is angle of the cone of light that can enter the objective lens
- >angle, >resolution
-NA depends on: difference bet refractive index of specimen and its surrounding (>difference,>contrast)
-increase refractive index by staining or oil immersion
3 Types of Staining:
a)Gram stain
b) Acid fast staining (for 2 types of genus)
c) Special staining (for special structures like flagella, DNA etc)

Oh dear!! I'm now too lazy to write more about physio. Maybe you want to write about it? It's still about some things we had learned before. Communication between cells and homeostasis. I think for the earlier 3 subjects, I pretty much went through the lectures for the week. So is there anything you want to add? haha.

the XY species.

Tongue Tied

Bright cold silver moon

Tonight alone in my room

You were here just yesterday

Slight turn of the head

Eyes down when you said

I guess I need my life to change

Seems like something's just aren't the same

What could I say?

I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit

And every time that I try I get tongue tied

I'll need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit

Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet

Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I stare up at the stars

I wonder just where you are

You feel a million miles away(I wonder just where you are)

Was it something I said?

Or something I never did?

Or was I always in the way?

Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay?

I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit

And every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit

Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet

Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end

Don't want to be here again

And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again

What it takes I don't care

We're gonna make it I swear

And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again

Again

I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit

But every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit

Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet

Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end

Don't want to be here again

And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again

What it takes I don't care

We're gonna make it I swear

And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

To those who know everything about PCR, here's a vid for you people! These people look really passionate about PCR!! To those who don't know, PCR is a process where copies of a specific sequence of DNA are made. Why do they need to make that specfic sequence?? Well, you see, sometimes say in a crime scene, say you find a strand of hair. And then you gotta figure out whose hair is that by looking at its DNA sequence. But what happens if something goes wrong with that sample? Or you might need to conduct more tests, but you only have one DNA sample, which is the hair. So, there's when PCR comes in!

rAndOm quOteSsS...

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be at the bottom to catch them.

Things happen each day, many of which are beyond our control. Let us treasure every moment and everyone in our lives.

Tomorrow may never come. Give and accept what you have today.

The virtue of true love is not finding the perfect person BUT loving the imperfect person perfectly.

Happy New Year 2008!!

It's a brand new year, though I'm a lil late, but still, it's the beginning of a new year. Let's not talk about the year that had just passed. Of course there were the good times and bad times in 2007. As for this year, I guess everyone would be hoping that this new year would be a a great one for them, hoping that they will be happy, passing their subjects, getting the jobs they want, getting their dream guy or girl etc. May the wishes of these people come true. Gosh, I sound so cliché!

So for this new year, more people would be leaving. Well, like what people always say, time flies. For those who are going for exchange for one semester, I would be able to see you again in a couple of months later. Yes, you Cheryl, my dear!! And for those who are going for a year or so, like Yen Sun or Chui, I would just have to wait a lil longer, till the end of the year! And then I'll be wishing you people Happy New Year once again!! But for those who are going for a transfer, I think you'll be back end of the year for hols right? Oh my, I dont want to sound emo or what. But I would really miss you people! Who but not you people who go through all those lovely moments together? Studying, shopping, camwhoring, sharing secrets... and the list goes on... And for those of you who are already abroad last year or earlier, I do hope to catch up with you people. Some of which I still have not meet up with, despite having said that we should meet up when you people come back.

I reckon this year is gonna be so different. Many things had changed from 2007. I hope I can adapt to it. Better still, be dynamic and be a better person!
