Many thanks to all

Better to put as a seperate post. if not too long le. hahahaha :p

I realli would like to thank so many people in helping me:

Thanks AC, for reading n vetting n stimulating my mind non-stop. very agonising, yes. its a love-hate rel.

Thanks Mindy, for so much of ur help. you r realli an angel in my life. you always help to enlighten me whenever i m down. its my fyp and u hav urs to worry bout to, yet u always render help whenever i need it. Don think its minimal, it meant a lot to me. Really. :)

Thanks hc, you r another great help! thanks for agreeing to help me during that horror period. Lucky got you, i can calm down and brace through it all.

Thanks shaun, thanks for offering to help me read my thesis. Hee i noe you were very busy then, yet u still tried ur best to give me ur valuable comments. Realli appreciated it. Comments from chicago, plus from a future budding neuroscientist. haha, it is my honour.

Thanks cons, i tink it was horror of horror for both of us when we got that terrible email. i also dunno whether to say luckily or unluckily, i got you for company... hey isnt it a concidence, we got another email together again tonite! :) lucky its good news this time. :) hard work paid off!!!!! yoohoo! :p

Thanks to my sis too, she helped me read my 1st draft, help me go through my poster tog, listen to me present like 3 times, help me prepare cue cards.. your bday this year will b good. :)

And last but not least, thanks to my dear. He is the one who hear me whine, complain, tahan my sullen face n lifeless form this 9 months. Thanks for all your support this while. Thanks for reading my drafts numerous times and be my audience who comment and time my presentation so many times. i think you r quite well-verse in CAM now too. :p

journey of fyp

One MORE DAY!!! yeah! fyp will be finally officially over... tml is our poster presentation.
sun n mon, i went to print poster. went 2 days coz i found some glitches. oh well, lucky i end up print one poster only.. if not veri waste $$. the feeling when seeing my own poster being printed was good. Marks the end of fyp. Quite proud of it although i realli saw many nice nice ones.. i c so many of my classmates there la..i tink that shop jus earn our money jiu happy liao. haha.

tdy when i pinned up my poster, it was another kind of fufilling feeling. i think many of my friends felt the same towards their poster also. Its almost like a crystallisation of the efforts. I like so many posters.. there were like 60 posters and most of them quite pretty..

i like mindy's one the most.. Gal, hee urs i still like the most! :)
tml will be an exiciting day. hopefully, after tml no more fyp.. actually after my presentation on sat, i was on hol mood le. haha. think i din perform as well as i expected for myself but don care liao. it has been so many months since i stone, so many months since i last watch tv few hours at one go, so many months since i last went shopping, n so many months since i don hav that heavy stone in me making me lost all the energy to laugh with all my heart.

the old me is BACK!! like a spell i've been under for months, at last its lifted. i feel alive again. Is this the type of fairy tale in this modern era? anyway, i feel happy. i am happy. I still hav a few tests before my final finals exam coming soon, ya ard that corner again. but i don care. this few days are for recharging!!! yipee~

i feel liberated again! Haha, i tot it will be so hard to wait till this day.. so glad that all the horrid stuff are over for now...

FYP was a learning exp. i would say that the learning curve was quite steep. for blur ppl like me, who like to add extra stones ahead of myself, so that i can trip upon later, life was harder. but realli, i tink all of us hav matured over this 9 months.. the bond we forged over ac fyp kids' club is something to be treasured.

This is the week..

if i survived this week well, i think i have attained another level..

There's no lack of challenges in life.. they are all just round that corner.

Lin

i dreamt of my prof again last nite. Dreamt had he sent me an email saying that my poster got prob... oh man... when will this end.. he cant even let me hav a good, peaceful sleep...

recently, i've been very tired. physically and mentally. last nite i went to bed at 11.15. mum even suggested that maybe i shld go do a blood test to see whats wrong. hmm, no need la ah. needles = pain.

Trust a pharmacist to say that. tsktsk..

cant believe i'm gg to be a pharmacist soon. How many lifes will be in my hands that i hav to protect. woohoo.. glad that i'm becoming one. Will do good for the society. i promise. :)

When one becomes too busy with everything, everything seems to glazed past. Nothing seems important. I hate it tat i am taking IMPORTANT THINGS so UNIMPORTANTLY.

I wan to stop and take check. I cant. I know i hav been missing out a lot of life. I wan to laugh like before again, i cant. I wan to find back wats important to me. My life, my friends, my cup of Starbucks coffee, but i cant. I cant even rmb the time i last sat down for coffee with a small grp of friends discussing life. i don even hav time to catch a breath and the wind just forcefully push me forward.

somethings i noe after its missed, you cant get it back. The feeling is no longer there. i know. Women's sixth sense is not there for without a purpose.

when i wan to lament, i dunno who to go to. Everyone has their own set of frustration which i don wish to add on. I can imagine myself lament.. things are so gross that i actually don feel like mentioning.. but u noe, when you don say, it jus keep gnawing ur insides..

I think my blog has become too pessimistic to read. If it is, read my older posts instead, i think they may b happier.

actually, i think my table of friends all hav this kind of feeling which has escalated this semester.. i wonder whether anyone wrote bout it? Did anyone talked about it?

maybe its wat fyp did to me,
maybe its coz i'm in yr 4 last sem alreadi
i think i m more kan de kai..
i m more shui bian.. more slack n less demanding on myself
i reach self-equilbrium within a shorter time..
i think this is bad..
its tis kind of mindset that makes ppl complacent with the veri least they hav.
mayb i shld change,
mayb i will change.
after fyp..


PS: med counseling tml.. can b quite jialat kind. tdy then seriously start studying. usually will start early. but tdy slack till night night then start.. now notes in front of me, i m blogging. still got 2 entries.. you tell me la. hahaha... omg. m i the hui lin u know?? i wonder?

In my 4 yrs of tertiary education, today is the last prac of the entire course.. made pellet coating today... veri fun, jus like home econs and arts where we mix our own colour to coat our pellets and pack into capsules.

Probably the last prac in my life, friends n i forget to take a proper picture. should hav. wasted. lucky last time got take a few.. haha. fun pracs i had in this 4 yrs.. got usual titration, also got more specialised ones like tdy's tab coating and dosage form prep...

hmm actually i still hav med counseling coming up x 4 weeks. done in lab also but its not hand-on get dirty kind. hmm.. that is the challenging part..

Job search

tomorrow is the deadline for my first draft.. stressed these few days.. but something made me laugh..

just checked my email and read the email bout my pre-reg job application.. (it was sent a few days ago actually, no time to look at it)..

basically, in this bad economical times where ppl are out searching high and low for a job, my dept is still holding our hands... institutions are arranged to come my sch on one day (coming soon) and promote to us... Then interviews will start the next day next 3 days.. we advised not to make any response to any instituition that offer us a job till a deadline given to ALL instituitions to reply us. hahahha... so we noe wat choice we hav before making the final decision. All in all, its a span of 1 week, and VIOLA!! one week from that, i'll know where my future is heading towards!!

interesting...

hi all, my internet got BIG prob.. i m back to ancient times, using dial-up for now.. connection v unstable.. waiting for my new modem... otherwise i m not internet accessible at most times... damn inconvenient.... sharks...

Jus had a family dinner at blk 85.. sis was craving for food there.. had a simple dinner. the bak chor mee there quality drop liao.. their noodles confirm changed. i tried twice alreadi.. its no longer the translucent, springy ones... now the noodles r more starchy and yellowish in colour..

then we went bedok NTUC to 办年货!! so fun... i love grocery shopping with mummy.... spent $159 buying CNY stuff... mostly things my sis n i wan to eat.. LOL... when paying, my mum was still telling the cashier that we would prob finish all the tibits before CNY.... LOL... no la. its realli a lot.. cant be cant be... mummy tdy pocket burn hole le... hee.. mummy the best mah!! :)

FYP is withering my young life recently so no postings..

my sup, the man who controls my stress level. i dunno to love or to hate. (both words used r slightly stronger than intended for effect..) but tts e idea.. recently, he seems to be nice to me.. providing me w e necessary enlightenment tt i was hoping to get. hopefully this will continue n be e same for e rest of us under him. We will get there...

2 days to new year!! brand new year hope all good things stay, bad things go away... arent i greedy?? Let me be more sharing. Hope its the same for all! Cheers.

Twilight

OOOO.... i so LOVE twilight.. i love the romance.. i love the sweet words the vampire used... 'i don have the strength to leave you' omg omg... house on fire... lol.. its the overall package.. i love u so much that i m controling n doing my best not to bite u n drink ur blood, although it smells like the best thing.. ooo, nono this line is not gg to work in real life for me but in the world of vampires, this line, can you imagine... omg omg.. sweet.. plus the humour in it is also subtle and funny. my cup of tea for humour.. like the private joke about the artpiece made of graduation hats... hahahaha...

this is one movie in a LONG time i swoon as i watched it in the cinema... Yes, it is a teenage romance flick which is so unbelievable to adults... but IT is suppose to be a teenage romance flick in the first place when the author wrote it.. so in my view, its purpose has been attained and we shld watch it with that in mind.. Good job!

night out w COT

Went to Sofra, A Turkish restaurant at Shaw Tower with COT for xmas + COT 1st anniversary celebration. Famous for it's Kebabs and Grilled food. Tried the Jumbo set with dear, and Kk, HC, edwin, all tried different dishes. Prices for it range from $13.90 to $35.90 for a jumbo set for two. If you do like Grilled food kebabs, this is a good place to try out, plus the ambience of it, its nice for ppl to hang ard.

Actually, the setting of it was very similar to what we have in India One year ago, at the Restaurant in Bangalore, and it's just nice 1yr Anniversary for the formation of the COT. Woohoo.. To think I've already known the COT group for 1yr le.. And it's being one yr since I went to India.. What a memorable experience it was.. =)


The Jumbo Kebab set.. $35.90

Grilled Dory with Cheese and beautiful Tomato cravings.

Chef's platter, $17.90..


Though our COT this time rd was not full family. But it was still an enjoyable dining out..
