Get moving...
wahaha... i have finally got my lazy butt/fingers moving and plotted out my sch time table nicely in excel. and printed it out. and emailed it out yo my friend/sis... and pasted it into the default mac aurora desktop pic so that my time table appears in the middle... my desktop was soooo cluttered, all the icons were completely blocking my time table! its alright now that i've cleared up everything tho! previously when i was mass downloading PVs and stuff... just dumped them randomly on the desktop... now they've got their own little folder tho XD
also bought this new app for my mac... dragzone... its really cool, i can just drag a pic on my desktop to upload it etc... very convenient. best thing is you can write your own scripts for the program too.... (tho i fail at scripting... or more like, i've nvr learned scripting b4 T.T) there are quite a few user written scripts available for download... lets you say twit pictures, shorten urls etc.
downloaded pymol for students. feel so stupid... been searching for molecular visualiser downloads but i didn’t try the education thingy on their website cos i tot you'll needa pay... turns out that they kindly let ppl download an old but free version. which is exactly wat i need to finish up my assignment for mol evo... which is due tmr as usual. wanted to finish it off fast but ended up getting distracted with dragzone (attempted to make a script, got things wrong and it didn’t work out...) and other stuffs and now its... 30mins to midnight and i still haven finished the assignments... whee! no dragon nest or maple today... oh wells... doesn’t matter.
okays, i've gotta go finish up that evernote hw. got this particularly... tough/philosophical qn on whether half human cyborgs of the future will be a stable species or will they be taken over by machines... and got more qns that require the use of pymol. quite tough/killer qns...
i wonder if anyone is regretting their decision to take mol evo now. like if there are any ppl that joined cos they heard the 1st lesson was very slack. well... the 2nd lecture was really tough. well actually tho i said we were given a total of 3 breaks in the 1st lecture, i pretty much used all the breaks to complete the assignments given... and in the 2nd lecture... he didn’t give us any breaks at all. unless you were stoning in class during the times when we were supposed to work on the assignments. no breaks at all for the whole 3 hours! i took a self declared toilet break but IMO that was one of the most intensive 3 hours i had in a long time... cos those assignments aren't very easy, and most of the time i couldn’t finish even finish half of the assignment within the time given >< so its like you've gotta listen to him, than you've gotta read up, maybe do some googling... than you've gotta do the assignments given.
BUT in spite of it all i really loved it. yeah sometimes you feel lazy to do the assignments, but you have to do it anyway so ya might as well try hard to finish it in class... this class is a challenge and i love it. its been a while since i got challenges like this and its really fun...! ok, i must be off to do my challenge. cya!

another week goes by...
indeed... there wasnt any biz law tut today... oh wells... kinda wasted my time waiting in sch. early class tmr... mol evo heh. wonder how much he'll cover tmr. like those lect 1 stuff that we didnt manage to cover last lesson. will he cover them tmr (or rather, today)... or? since he said we dont need to do those exercises that he didnt go thru in class, in a way it kinda means that he doesnt expect us to read the rest of the lect parts... well some of the exercises cant be done out of class anyway. like the one that needs pymol. i had a iMol program that opens up those pdb file on mac, but it doesnt work anymore after updating to lion zzzzzzz. not sure what other programs (free ones) there are for mac... hmphs. -.-'''
gonna meet my friend for lunch tmr. she's got stuff on so we'll only have like 1+ hour to chat + eat :(
meeting ash next fri since her class ends really late tmr/today... might still end up gng out with my sis + her friend tho... oh wells... we'll see how tmr...

sch buzzzzzzzz
waiting for biz law tut now and wondering if there IS tut at all.
biz law sure got off to a rocky start...
1st the lecturer insisted on having lect on national day, only to be forced to cancel it cos of sch policies.
then on the 2nd week, the lect had to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances... and unfortunately for us students he didn’t manage to find the time to put up an announcement/email ahead of time to tell us (even tho he managed to sent out like 3 messages in the 1st week)...
then a friend taking the module but in a diff tut class said that they waiting for the tut to start for over 30mins... and most of the class left after the tutor failed to turn up... so yeah, i'm wondering if there's tut today. schedules say's there's supposed to have class today, but the schedule didn’t say that the lect this week would be canceled -.-'''
either way, i'm stuck with taking this class since i NEED to clear that biz module. and yeah, i'm counting my lucky stars that i wasn’t as unfortunate as my friend. she signed up for an AHSS module... but the lecturer didn’t turn up on the 1st lecture. the following day, they got an email saying that the module is canceled as the lecturer has left the school. o.o guess stuff like this would happen from time to time, but still... its rare to see such drama going on.
on some unrelated note... the sch is increasing their intake drastically... and the effect is that the canteens are super crowded. it used to be that the canteens are only really crowded around 12noon... nowadays, even at 11:30 its super crowded -.-''' sighz.
mrt train frequency seems to be decreasing despite the opening of the new track at jurong east interchange. was waiting for the train at 8:30 yest... 1st train came 4/5mins later, packed to the brim. next train was another 4/5mins later... thankfully not as packed as before. i thought they were trying to increase the train frequency... 8:30am is past the peak hour already? :S i'm not sure... but i do know that the new platform at jurong east is in operation till 9:30am... ah and the new platform... more trouble for me who's heading to the boon lay side. either i wait for the next train (instead of taking the one that goes to platform D), or i have to run down the stairs and back up to the platform that heads to boon lay.
oh wells, its abt time to head to biz law class. i wonder if there's even class at all ><

Fyp
Had a totally 'wonderful' time in sch yest wasting time. Only had a two hr lect till 11:30 but had to stay till 5:45 for a briefing on fyp. Kinda looking forward to see wat kind of topics there will be. Im fine with doing a projevt at sch or anywhere else (in sg that is, not that i mind gng overseas, but its kida troublesome yeah). Hoping i can get a project at some outside lab so i get a diff experience. Decided not to go back to the same group... Wanna experience more stuff + new stuff.
I'm certainly excited abt doing fyp. A bit worried on whether I can meet expectations and whether I will slack off and all, but I sure am looking forward to it. Still, gotta get thru this sem 1st. It'll be quite a hectic period when selecting the projects tho, since I gotta go visit all the profs/PI and all... That'll be ard sept if I haven rem wrongly. Well either sept or oct. Coming real soon yeah
K, gonna turn in now. Nite nite.

Cooling Off
The weather is super hot recently... tho it means extra nice durians... the heat is really too much to bear.
my parents bought this water sprayer thing from the patrol station... its quite cute, you pump air into the device so when you press the button to release the water, you can get a long, continuous spray of mist as opposed to short sprays of mist/water like in the traditional spray cans (like those you use for gardening for e.g.)
Got these USA strawberries from NTUC... looks red and nice don't they? looks are deceiving tho... these guys are really sour and boy i hate sour strawberries...
I put the berries in the freezer in an attempt to remedy the situation... it tasted better when the berries where frozen hard tho... kinda like sherbet... but once it starts de-frosting, its just as bad as before >< the sour taste is back once more and... the berries become soft and weird textured as freezing destroys the cell integrity. sighz. i still managed forced myself to finish them in the end tho...
School whee... an update!
Yeah.... so 1st week of sch is over. yes... an update... maybe i WILL be able to keep my promise of blogging even during the term (and not just during hols) after all.
No more 4 day week for me, i switched on of my wednesday class on virology and microbiology for a monday class on muscles. decided to make the switch after finding out that there's 3 assignments for viro/microbio (and there's group project too) + falling asleep epicly in the 1st class + not finding the lecture material very interesting.... well the pull factor was the many reassurances of my friends that muscles is very factual and easy to understand... and the exams are really straightforward, and there aren't any of the assignments or presentations like in other courses. i think there'll be quite a lot of stuff to remember in that course tho, as with cell bio... but viro didn’t feel any much better either... plus the assignments... i've already got assignments and presentations a plenty in ALL the other core electives i'm taking... a course w/o any of those for a change is certainly welcomed. With that change i think my time table is more of less set... though it’s a 5 day week now, the good thing is that i've mostly 1 class/lecture a day with the exception of 2 lects on tuesday and 3 tuts on thurs. 1 lect a day means that i'm less likely to sleep in class... which certainly is a good thing. (bad thing of course, is that i have to pay more for my bus/mrt fare and waste more time on traveling. Esp wedn when i will be spending 2 hours on transport [2 ways] for a 2 hour lect -.-''')
So here's my current and hopefully final course combination:
BS 3016 Molecular Evolution
BS 4008 Clinical Application of Omics
BS 405 Current Topics in Muscular Biology and Neuromuscular Diseases
BS 406 Current Topics in Cell Biology
BS 3016 Molecular Evolution
BU 8301 Fundamentals of Business Law
Need to take 1 biz module for clear my electives... that's also the LAST thing elective that i'll need to clear. Haven had a single class of cell bio and muscles yet... well at least my friends said muscles is ok.. wonder how cell bio will be.
So far, the one sub i like best is Mol evo. really really fun. We have our lectures in the comp lab... all the lectures... how's that for a start? pretty cool eh? no? i really love the lecturer's style of teaching... his style really fits my way of learning things... really got me all excited abt the class, smthing that i've not felt in a long time. very very long time... since the time in rgs perhaps? now that's like 6 or so years ago... he's set up a site for the course... this guy prefers to use the website as a teaching tool rather than powerpoint... he's got all the links on the site so we can go read up on our own... and than there's on mini assignments/exercises on the site that we have to work on in class (hence the venue). He's really cool, made us use Evernote to write the mini exercises answers and share the notebook with him so he can see our progress. Which means that we are also free to work on those exercises anytime outside of class when we are free. He also puts up the course material about 1 week ahead of time, so if you're interested you can go read up and do those stuff as you wish... I find it quite cool that he picked Evernote, since i've already installed that program on my mac and iphone quite some times ago and tried playing around with it a bit. I'm not really used to using notes and stuff tho, hence i didn’t use Evernote much than... now i WILL have to use it a lot though lol. That means that i can browse any course notes with ease on my phone too, either on the website or my own notes. COOL. he's got me sooo pumped up about the class.
The lecturer is really a sucker for new technologies... he's also making use of this new SMS feedback system that the sch installed. We can SMS in comments and it'll show up in a program on his comp screen... so that gives us another avenue to ask qns... polls can be done with the system too... now is this cool or not? haha. yup, really glad that i took this class... not only do i already love the lecture material to began with (took a somewat similar class in... erm... sec 4), his style of teaching is really fun and exciting. The whole thing about putting the lect in the comp lab also makes things feel more casual, and it makes me a lot more inclined to ask qns... something which i erm... never ever did in lects before. till friday. record breaking eh...
Gonna visit my jc teacher tmr with my classmates... wonder how it'll turn out. pretty much stopped coming in contact with all my jc classmates except for my troopers... been so long since we last meet... hmm... i wonder how it'll be there...
ok, high time to sleep, nite nite all.

School's Back!
Sighz... school's starting tmr (or rather, today)... i dont have
any classes tmr, but i decided to drop by a lect in the afternoon just
to see if its interesting, just in case i decide to change any of my
modules i signed up for later on...
The biz law elective i signed up for (no choice, gotta clear a biz module -.-''') starts the 1st lecture on national day. Yes, NATIONAL DAY. 2:30 to 4pm... -.-''' the course coordinator wrote us an extremely long welcome message, with an extremely long winded explanation of why lect on tues goes on as usual... smthing abt sch schedule packed, darn hard to book LTs and all... oh wells... not that it really matters to me. Haven been finding the national day parades an extremely interesting affair for quite some time already... still remember when i'd be enthusiastically singing the songs while watching tv when i was in kindergarten... that was such a long time ago... hmm when did i stop being enthusiastic? it was probably the time when i got into a quarrel with my mum and she disallowed me to watch the tv till quite some time after the parade starts. of cos i was in no mood to watch it anymore... think i wasnt very keen on watching the NDP from than on. that was probably when i want pri 3 or pri 4? cos i rem it happening at my old house. wow, that's even before pri 5 when i got the watch the NDP rehearsals with the sch... (which was my 1st and last time so far seeing the NDP, rehearsals or otherwise, live). I wonder if jlf is still up for dinner outing on NDP... really hope she's willing+free to have dinner with me :P
still have no met up with ash darling after SOOOOO long. current i've got an 'appointment' with her on the 19th. please tell me you are free on that day ash!
my j2 form teacher just got a little baby... my class peeps are planning to visit her on sat... i'm not really close to my jc classmates in general but well... i guess i shd go. at least mich says she's gng too so i wont be alone. i need someone to remind me tho... else i'll end up like last time, only realising that the event was on that day when my friend smsed me asking if i was gng... ><
okays, that's all for now, tata!

Cakes
Hmm... finally decided to upload some pics... here's the fruit tarts i ate with my sis at somerset 313 some time back... ok, that was really a ways back... oh wells. that just goes to show how lazy i am. well actually its cos that time i was still mapling and didn’t on mac much...
erm, the half eaten strawberry tart... we didn’t remember to take a pic till when the banana one came much later. the waiter didn’t hear/left out our 2nd pie order... -.-''''
been going out for deserts quite a lot recently. last sat i went out with jlf and we had dinner at sakae, followed by deserts at bakerzin... sadly didn’t take any pics. the cakes were really good, expensive but good... got too sweet in the end but still... my friend had the mango one with i got some... chocolate one... it was the look that attracted me towards the cake tho, it had layers of chocolate, cream, and biscuits... too bad no pics.
went out with my sis for lunch + dinner yest at imm... ate at long johns than went secret recipe for cake... the cheese cake was really good, but the chocolate fudge i got was just soso... that one got really too sweet in the end when i was eating the sides where there was chocolate bits stuck to the cream... i think it’s the chocobits that were too sweet...
the chocolate fudge cake...
and here's the classic cheese cake:
i still have YET to go out with ash, the super super busy and impossible to find women! even tho its been like... a whole month (or more?) since she came back from korea... tsh! got so much to talk abt with her lah! Paging for ash........!

FB friends sorting...
Just kinda finished sorting my fb gigantic friends list. added a lot of friends for games (which i have stopped playing almost all of it) last time, so added all those peeps to a list with lesser access to wat i post. well the thing is that i hardly post stuff on FB, and those stuff that i do post, were already posted with the intention of letting ppl see... so privacy isnt THAT much of an issue for me on fb (fb stands for facebook in case u haven figured)... probably missed out a few peeps here and there etc... but from the way i'm using facebook so far, i think its not too much of an issue... i think... i feel... for now anyway.
hmm, not sure what kind of direction i shd bring this blog to be.... not sure if i'll even keep up with the blogging when sch starts. oh wells. only time will tell... watever will be will be...

Random stuff
Last few days of slack... before sch starts. the time time still aint out yet... and i still don't know which elective i'm taking... gah...
presidential electives date set for the 27th aug. i still barely know a single thing abt the candidates -.-''' man i don't even know how many have submitted the forms so far... gah... guess i've got some reading up to do before i head to the polls.
recently there's a couple of english songs i'm kinda addicted to. considering how i've been listening to arashi songs (japanese) for the longest time... its been a really long time since i last added any new englis songs to my list. well there was grenade by bruno mars a while back, but recently Airplanes by B.o.B. and price tag by Jessie J really caught my attention. came across airplanes when i went shopping with my family in msia (yes the one with the roast duck and all i blogged abt a while back)... finally got round to downloading the song a while back and been listening to it a lot since than. i normally try and caught a few phrases/sentences of the song, write it down in my phone, than go find the song when i remember later on...
well i don't think the PV is really nice... doesn’t really get me into the mood of the song... but well that's the nice thing abt western world VS JE... they happily post their official PVs on youtube for everyone to watch, share, and spread... whereas JE takes down videos from youtube as soon as they can find them :(
i heard price tag when my sis showed me a cute arashi fan vid... found the song addicting and when to dl it. the fanvid is really good tho (except the poor quality i'd prefer it not to be in b/w)... as in, the scenes fitted nicely with the song lyrics, and made the whole song look and sound fun... fits the mood of the song really well IMO. so yeah... here's the vid that i really liked. the best part is probably the 'everybody look to the left/right' part... really amusing lol.
yesterday i went on a crazy rampage of dl-ing high quality arashi song PVs and music station performances. maybe i'm spoiled by JE's type of PVs... maybe cos i've been a fan of arashi for a while... didn’t really like many of the US made PVs... grenade pv was really quite... meaning less to me... the storyline was really weird and it just didn’t... entice me to listen to the song. maybe its just a total different mindset... like from my friends who prefer western pop to me who erm... prefer arashi songs (i wont even say jpop, since i pretty much only listen to arashi songs... for now). its like after watching those PVs i wish i'd just listen to the song on its own, w/o ever looking for its PV. meh... but since i generally don't like those PVs, i didn’t watch many of them so maybe it just so happened that i'm unlucky...?
meh... i wonder wat my friends (i've got some to absolutely love musicals, glee etc) would think if they see arashi's PVs... some of the dance (they didn’t dance in all PVs, depends on the song etc...), outfits, and settings are just so darn freaking cool. truth and monster is cool, troublemaker had a cute and fun PV... very much like the song's title... now i'm in love with mada minu sekai e dance in music station. they jumped around a lot and yes they sang live. maybe i shd try n get my friends into arashi... than at least i wont feel so left out when they discuss on and on abt all the western music scene...
heh. nothing else to say... or rather, too many things to say, but not sure how to put it out in words. that's all for now.
