The School Race

Today's an efficient day. I read n study through the first copy of lecture notes of Metabolism and Regulation; a module I have phobia with due to its "biochemistry" nature - all those catabolism, anabolism, electron transfer chain, oxidative phosphorylation, blah blah... yucks(!).

My buddy cum study mate.

Evidence showing I did study!

Managed to sell off my economics text and the no-one-can-understand-what-the-fuck-it-is-all-about biochemistry textbook for LSM1101. I hate incomprehensible textbooks that make chim stuffs more chim. Haha. Bought Voet's Biochemistry today for LSm2101, which is somehow readable. Will be meeting two girls on wednesday to sell off my organic chem and bioDiversity; hopefully they would really buy.

Managed to grab a 2nd hand NutritionNow textbook with XiaoTong's help. And I really really really got to thank Baolian for lending me Molecular Biology for THE CELL that would have cost me another 2 fifty dollars notes. And of course my dearest butt, the FedEx deliverywoman who will be bringing me the big heavy greyish book. =P Haha. Love u girls!

Managed to get my desired time slot for stats tutorial. And to add on, I have Alvin as my tutorial mate. Double yayness! Hopefully Zhenyun can get it too through manual registeration...

And to sidetrack a little, I'm eyeing on this cardigan from Topman!

Haha. Always thought that such caridgans make fat guys more fat. Haha, until I tried it today and fall in love with it. Woot. But it costs a fucking 103 bucks! LoL, wait till I lost some weights, shred off the double chin, I will get it at a smaller size! Zhen xiao mei, kao ni de supervision le!

I wanna to get back to at least this shape (dated more then 3 years ago!):

Pardon the kiam-pa face. Haha.

12 weeks race begins!

My childhood fav songs

Rainy days like today is good to stay at home and hibernate. Tomorrow I will go for a good swim (if the sun is good to me) and touch on the books. First to begin, BIOCHEMISTRY!! =)

I came upon these by chance, and pretty sure everyone (around my age) will love them, unless you have a deprived childhood or live in a different era!!! Haha. I love this songs!!! First to being with: Good morning, SIR!

Then I grew up addicted to the gambling sessions at Coral Island's Casino watching 双天至尊. Yan Fei was brother's favourite, and he did showed some great card stunts to me back then. I remembered idolizing ex-TCS actress, Lin Qian Ping in the second series. Another hottie! Haha. I was into "eye candy"-ing even at a young age!

Then at Pri 5, I was envying my brother and sister who have went through secondary schools after watching Yang Guang Lie Che. Ann Kok (Xiao Jin) was my favourite then... But now, I like her figure more. Heh heh.

And of course, I wouldn't forget the famous and evergreen Guan Hai Fang Shi song from 七月俏佳人 that everyone still know how to sing. Those days rawks.

Channel 8's drama wasn't as great these days.

Very Random Indeed

It's almost 6am in the morning and I couldn't sleep. Listening repeatedly to "Love Me" by Colin Raye; a song that makes my heart soothe whenever I'm feeling down/lost/can't sleep. Apparently, in this case, it's definitely the latter.

School officially starts on Tuesday. Had lessons from 8am-6pm with just a miserable two hours break in between. Modules taken so far are mylike except stats, which has been my most detestable subject since polytechnic, or even secondary school if A-maths or E-maths are counted. E montonous lecturer who has been teaching stats since 1997 doesn't make it any better. He's still using transparencies after donkey years. But oh yeah, I love my food-and-health lecturer. He talked as if he was drunk(!), and the notes were quite "digestable".

Talking about school, I have so many stuffs in mind. First to mention, I was happy to see many familiar faces around in campus. From those uni cliques I sat with, to those OG mates / lecture mates I happened to bump to and had small chats. Kris was supposed to be with me this year, but he decided to *jump to NTU which provides him with the direct honours. I doubt I would have the chance to do my honours in NUS, my results was far from ideal, and the 3 months summer vacation had already brainwashed away those metabollic pathways, DNA transcription and translation processes from my brawny brain. Nonetheless, I put in another extra 100% effort into this sem.

Starting with second year means I'm 1/3 through my uni life in NUS (even though I would have already get a degree back if I went to Australia a year ago). It seems so slow, but yet so fast. I intend to go for a summer exchange with GL after this academic year. Perhaps, another one to the english countries if I'm able to make it to the honours. And after graduate, I have my plans too (thou I somehow hate my capricon's nature of planning too ahead). Cause sometimes dreams could have been so different from reality. And I will end up so different from what I want in life. I really hope to do graduate studies in Canada or USA if I got a chance to, to expose to new things, and climb up the widen horizons. Coming back to reality, getting a MBA and do sales in life sciences will do fine for me though. Whatever! We will see in two years time. Randomness.

Pictures from Phuket as promised:

Some platonic loves.

Girls.

Sun, beach, coconuts!!!

Shawn Tay

The first dinner at Phuket, and the Kampung durians.

Cannoe Island, James Bond Island, Seafood Lunch.

Tour Guide's house and Simon's Carbaret.

The drunk scene.

Finally, the beach.

That's all folks.

The Walk

The day ened up with a loud smoky fucking bang with the best friend. Nothing much, perhaps just an out-of-no-where agruement. Egoism and pride filled us both, and so we fucked. Anyway good luck dude, you have my blessing (and call me soon)!

Unleashed of the thoughts and feelings, I decided to let it all a go. Enough means enough, it's the finale. I'm all ready and set up to take the walk. Walk out of the insanity and uncertainties, find my comfort zone and gain back reality. Realism could be bitch, but still, O' freak, I fucking need to take the walk.

The walk is of misery and confusion. Confusion has me strung out and desperate. My whole world is made of disillusion and pity, nothing more than a mirage, transparent, nonexistent. Only the winners out of the fucking losers went through the walk. Some survived, some found dead. My mental stability would reached its bitter end if I don't take the walk. Caged in, locked down, I prayed to the empty god to relieve my pain, fix me, heal me, save me, or even, screw me.

Truth has exploded within me to own my shit, to do it, to be the best I can be after I have had the walk. I know I can do it though I'm scared like a pussy. But the joy overpowers the rest of me to be determined. No fucking thing is going to stand in my way. Nothing, but my ego and sneakiness that is. I truly honestly do not care anymore what people say or think, but I'm going to take the walk they asked me to. My dreams will finally come to light , and I won't be alone again.

Walking...

Last Day of Work

Yesterday saw me finishing the last day of work before heading towards VivoCity for the free movie event organised by the company. Rush Hour 3 wasn't too bad, and the free popcorns and coke made everything a good deal. Went shopping right after; and initially, I just planned to just get the white belt I wanted to buy sometimes back from River Island at 59 bucks. But the shop was having sales, so I ended up leaving the shop with another three tees, spending 99 bucks in total! -_-"

Met up the uni peeps at Netball Carnival, before heading towards the east for the famous HK cafe. Went "eek-ing" at Changi Village before calling it a day. The company was good, and so was the day. =)

Sidetracked, I will be having a very "biological" sem this coming semester. Haha. Will be taking:

1. Metabolism and Regulation
2. Molecular Biology
3. Introductory to Biostatistics
4. General Physiology
5. Food and Health

Wonder will I survive through the exams....

School blues.
