haven celebrated mooncake festival since we shifted house when i was ine like pri 5. last time i used to go through TONS of candles, like 10-20 packs still aren't enough during mooncake festival. all i do the whole night is light and set up the candles on rocks in the park in front of my old house. contributing to environmental pollution yeah... but of cos i didn’t know better than.
having a cool class on pheromones now. the module is supposed to be on clinical applications of omics... but the guest lecturer seems to have gone a bit off track with all the talk abt pheromones and insect behaviour... but im really enjoying the lect anyway, who cares if its off topic? wonder what our lecturer who's sitting right in front of me right now thinks abt it tho... is it thinking abt how it's kinda going off track too or? idk... but i do like the topic.
she showed us this cool video earlier on the bolas spider. COOL. didn’t think of looking for these kind of videos on youtube. it’s the same guy who narrated in all the plant videos that i've seen in class in like sec, jc, and uni... didn’t know he did other documentaries too... all the stuff he did is really interesting/cool IMO. pardon my severe lack of vocab....
i hate it when the video adding and photo adding keeps malfunctioning in firefox! forces me to open up the site in chrome just to add the photo/vid! zzzzzzzz
didn’t really celebrate my dad's bday last fri, tho we had a nice family day together. my dad took leave and he fetched me to sch, and cos my class on fri ends before lunch, he fetch me and we went to orchard where my sis had been having a sept hol 1 week math crash course... had lunch at hot tomato at somerset 313. good food, and at a great price too. the sirlion steak was super good, very jucy. we asked for it cooked medium rare and we GOT medium rare. many of the restaurants give u like medium well or smthing when you ask for medium rare -.-''' like hey dude, why bother asking when you're gonna over cook it anyway -.-'''. the last time i had nice medium rare beef outside was at some restaurant in vivo city really long ago. can't rem the name of the shop already... but the beef was very juicy too. i ordered whipped potatoe side (i think you can pick like rice also) to go with it and the combi was just great... you can use the whip potatoe to mop up the juice that's oozing out from the beef.
gave my dad the pen me n my sis got from bugis after dinner... he likes the color... which is good. he got all excited and brought out the pens he bought over the years... and we had fun writing with the pens. after a while it turned onto a 'guess the tradition chinese character' game... like my dad n mum would write some traditional chineses character and than become absolutely amazed when me or my sis (actually most of the time its my sis, i don't watch as much taiwanese programs/read taiwan stuff as much as her, and my chinese has always been poorer than her, plus i got slow reaction) knows the word. some words are actually quite natural to me, probably cos i've been watching too much japanese stuff (and i completely don't read the chinese newspapers or anything else in chinese). like i'd recognise the word in trad chinese straight away, w/o realising that its actually NOT the simplified chinese... like some words i erm.. forgot what it looks like in simplified chinese even. bravo... >< haiz.
dad got an ipad loan from his sch cos they wanted him to develop some method to use the device for teaching... will be an experimental thing next sem but man... the sch sure is stingy. they'll only get to use the device for 1 month, after which the same few devices will be taken from the lecturers and put in the classrooms for the students to use. so when they are teaching, they wont have an ipad to show the students with. o.o. than 3-4 students will have to share 1 cos the sch bought very few of the devices... very stingy even for a trial teaching method. still, i had to spend a few days teaching my dad how to use stuff like the app store, how to check his mail etc... setting up some apps... how to sync with itunes etc... yeah... was quite lengthy and he always manages to ask qns which i nvr cross my mind when i used my itoy... his way of thinking is just quite diff from mine at time.
oh... i went daiso the other day and managed to find a sleek looking and slim ALUMINUM casing mechanical pencil. immediately grabbed two of it to use as casing to make my idevice stylus... been searching for writing utensils with metal casing in popular (in various locations) for quite a long time to no avail. they all come in plastic these days... totally didn’t expect to find it in Daiso... (^.^)V
here's the finished product...
Opps. Wanted to post this on wedn, but didn't have the pic. Now I'm posting it with the pic from the iPhone blogger app...
