Once beaten twice shy, starting from now onwards, should not take things easily.
New year resolutions:
1) To get a first class honour in the next semester. Should surf internet often(not facebook... oh, ok, sometimes) to search for more information. Every piece of information will be in my hand. I will make sure of that. Basically, my next semester's module will be
i) Biochemistry II - Metabolism. This course deals with the basic principles, pathway, and regulation of metabolism required to understand modern biological sciences. The lectures will cover introduction to enzymes and enzyme catalysis, carbohydrate metabolism, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism.
ii) Molecular biology. This course deals with the basic concepts of molecular biology, RNA transcription and posttranscriptional processing, protein folding and quality control, molecular oncogenesis, molecular biology of viruses, molecular biology of model organisms.
iii) Principles of genetics. This course deals with the basic principles of modern genetics, with a strong focus on molecular rather than classical genetics. The lectures will cover Mendelian genetics, DNA structure, replication, transcription, regulation of gene expression in Pro- and Eukaryotes, Rekombination, Genes and Development, Genome Mapping, Linkage analysis, Basic human genetics.
iv) Basic cell biology. This course deals with the internal structure and organelles of a cell and their function in maintaining a living cell. The lectures will cover membrane protein, protein targetting, secretion, endocytosis, cytoskeleton and cell cycle.
v) Laboratory.
For elective, will continue the German language, level II. :) And, for another elective, hope that I will get the easy one. :P
2) The second resolution is, hope that my singing skills will improve again, especially for the false voice, hahaha!!!
Last Saturday just performed 童话 for my aunt's wedding in Taiping. This Saturday will perform a Hokkien song for my aunt's wedding in Penang. The song title is 我问天. =)
P/S : There are 2 weddings because the Taiping wedding is for the Taiping friends, and the same goes to the wedding in Penang!!
Lastly, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!
Was practising song when my friend told me that we could check our GPA online now!! I thought what GPA as the results are not released yet! Without feeling anxious, I went to the NTU website and to the student link and to the degree audit. Huh!!! The CGPA was being filled!!! AND WHAT I SAW WAS ONLY 4.3!!! Disappointment came. Haizz... I thought I could get at least a first class.
My friend told me there's 1 guy from our school got 4.92!!! Ok, that was very high. What to do?? Only a second class upper. T_T
SHOULD STRIVE HARD FROM NOW ONWARDS!!!!
3 in 1... White coffee??? :) No, 3 events for this holiday.
Yesterday I was supposed to have 2 posts, but was too tired, so I just blogged about the Goose's dream.
Was having 103 (Organic Chem) yesterday. Duh, the questions were so easy. I can easily say it here and now, it's Form 6 standard. =.=
MCQ 40 questions = 40 marks
Q1 to Q4 were asking about which is not Lewis acid, which is Bronsted Acid... zzzzz... This is really Form 6 standard. Then another few questions were, which molecule is not a linear molecule, which is not a planar molecule... =.= I thought I was having STPM exam at that moment. :)
Part B was the structure. Was quite easy. (30 marks)
5 marks to state whether it is a constitutional isomer or enantiomers....
10 marks to compare.
6 marks to state and explain whether it is aromatic.
5 marks to give the explain the terms with an example.
4 marks to state which is more productive and give a brief explanation.
Part C was the essay part. Easy. (30 marks) Choose 2 quests out of 3.
1)First part = give the product that is formed and name the mechanism and indicate regioselectivity and/or stereospecificity, if any. About 9 marks, I guess.
Second part = Draw the structure of all possible isomers and name any 2 of the isomers.
2)First part = provide a mechanistic explanation ( just put some drawings and explain a little bit) 3 marks.
Second part = Same as the first part of the first question.
Third part = Provide a synthetic scheme. ( Done a lot during form 6.) zzzzz =.=
That's the content of 103, organic chem.
P/S : Tomorrow will be my last paper, 102, biophysical chemistry. Then 3rd of dec night I will be departing to my hometown ( Oopss... my country). lolx
Has been waiting for this song for so long, finally I got the mp3. Happy!!! :)
Updates to my Ipod. There's a slight rearrangement here. 1) goose dream (beethoven virus version) 2) goose dream (original) 3) can you hear me 4) My person
From the OST of Beethoven virus.
Oh Gosh... I've been looking for these lyrics, but I did not know what is the title. Finally, I found the lyrics on one of my friend's fb. :)
Can you hear me by Kim Tae Yeon ( Theme from the Beethoven virus)

- Translation -
Even small pains make me teary
My heart cries out
When i pass by you
You are the whole worldi dream for only you
i hold my breath in front of you
just like you and i aren’t meant to be
just like it’s merely a moment passing by
You pass by me so easily
Even if i can’t go upand take just a step
You make me walk around
You make me cry
Like an idiot, like a child
Just laugh it off
The closer i get
More scared i get
But this love cannot be stopped
Why is it just my love that is slow
Why is it just my love that is hard
Even if i’m by your side
You are the whold worldi look at only you
i stare into distance in front of you
Just like you’re the end for me
Just like you’re my last moment
You pass by me so easily
Even if i can’t go up
and take just a step
You make me walk around
You make me cry
Like an idiot,like a child
Just laugh it off
The closer i get
More scared i get
But this love cannot be stopped
From far away
if i can stare at you just for a moment
That is love
When this waiting and yearning
Gets you, and you can hear it
Just pretend nothing happened
The closer i get to you more scared i get
But this love cannot be stopped
HAHAHA!!!! Finally finished Deutsch! The paper was quite easy... And note here... QUITE but not VERY. My friend saw me and said:" A already lo!!' I replied:' Where got!!!' Don't misunderstood the word quite and very, the difference is so big.
For the essay part, they asked us to write a blog about myself, my family, and my interest. Woo hoo, I always blog. Lolx. So, this is how I wrote in German:
Es freut mich! Ich heisse Melveen. Ich bin zwanzig Jahre alt. Ich bin sehr nett und freundlich. Ich bin student an der NTU, so wohne ich in die Wohnheimstudenten an der NTU. In der Freizeit, sehe ich fern. Ausserdem, joggen ich gern. Meine Hobbys sind Fussballspielen und Musikhoeren. Ich spiele Fussball mit meine Freunde. Ich hoere gern Musik, denn Musik gefaellt mir sehr gut! Ausserdem, spiele ich gerne Klavier. Ich lese nicht gern, denn ich finde die Buecher nicht interessant :) Ich habe eine Schwester. Sie ist sehr huebsch. Sie ist sehr ergeizig, denn immer reist sie gern in andere Laender. Ah ja, ich esse gern das Haenchen mit Pommes. Kuchen gefaellt mir nicht so gut. Ich trinke gern Apfelsaft, aber Bier mag ich nicht!
So this is it for the essay part!
For the comprehension, I was able to understand it.
Thank God!!
101 and 104, top 2 scariest papers is gone forever. But the equation 104 = 101, is it correct?
Unpredictable event happened today. Did not expect the paper was, erm... QUITE EASY?
40 MCQ = 40 marks. 20 single answers and 20 multiple answers. Quite easy and will be able to score about 33 or 34 marks.
Q2 to Q8 ( answer all questions) = 50 marks
This part is all about structures. Some parts are quite difficult. Q2 to 5 were quite easy. Q6 was difficult and Q7 was a so so question. Q8 was easy.
Q9 or Q10 = (essay question) = 10 marks
OH... Luckily I had memorised the experiment of Meselson-Stahl during my form 6 time. So it will be a full marks for me. Thank God... :)
The concept of 104 = 101, FOR THIS YEAR, can't be used!!!
Was having 104 exam today!!! Predicted that the paper will be quite hard as the past year papers.... But I did not even predict it will be as hard as a diamond!!
i) MCQ 20 questions = 30 marks.
I do not know what type of MCQ is it. Out of 20 questions, I knew only about 10 or 11 questions. Nevermind, thought the structure will be easier.
ii) Part B = choose 6 out of 7 questions = 30 marks.
Ok, from question no 2 to no 5, they were quite easy, left 2 questions more. Gosh!! Out of the 3 questions, all the 3 questions were so so so SPEECHLESS!!! Ok, planned to scribble and vomit out what I've learnt. Maybe from there I could earn some marks. Again, thought that the essay will be easier.
iii) Part C = choose 4 out of 5 questions = 40 marks.
EVEN IF YOU WERE TO GIVE ME 4 OUT OF 10 QUESTIONS, THE CONCLUSION WILL BE THE SAME!!! AS HARD AS A DIAMOND!!!
First essay, the answers maybe correct and maybe not correct. If the answer is correct, straight away I will earn 10 points.
Second essay, huh, ridiculous, I do not have so many points for that stupid question. Will earn about 5 out of 10.
Third essay, again, Ridiculous, 5 out of 10.... maybe??
Fourth essay, I think will be about 9 out 10.
So, the conclusion is... the paper is AS ______ AS ________.
I'm in Christmas mood now, so the songs in the IPOD are all about Christmas songs from DA!! Hope you will enjoy them!
P/S: to everyone, the one below is the real post, this is only an announcement.
After 2 days and 2 nights of reading(oops... should say, after 3 months of sleeping in the lecture theatre and 2 days 2 nights of hardwork... hahahaha), SHE left me ( or should I say it in this way, The beast left me? 0_0). Argh, anyway either she or the beast, HE 191(Principles of Economics) left me. haha..
The examination was in SRC ( Sports Recreation Centre). Mine was Hall F, the others were in Nanyang Audi... Or somewhere else in NTU!! :) Durng exam weeks, the Student Union scheduled the transportation to be, FAST AND EFFICIENT. For usual weeks, the bus will come after 15 mins. (If you were to miss the bus where the bus started to move on and you were just one step there.... Frustrating event... ;-) But for the exam weeks, you don't have to worry about the bus not coming or will be late, because they scheduled the bus to come after 5 mins!!! But now there's only and the only problem, that is.... THE BUS WILL BE FULL OF STUDENTS!!! huh... So you will have to board into the bus earlier, snatch places to sit (Aww, just like a kid....) hahaha!!
Was raining yesterday, so have to wear cap and take umbrella to the hall. Oh, and jacket too!!! Super duper COLD, and it was air-conditioned!! Entered the hall and found my seat number, 841. Just have a calm mind and started to do. And hey, it was not bad after all. Since I had SU this subject, I don't have to worry about getting A. I just need a S!! Yeah, econs is ASS ASS ASS! hahaha..
Was so relaxed after the exam until I found out that the second subject was... 104!! (Biomolecules) A big OMG to you, my dear 104!! And after 104 was 101!! Walao!! Top 2 scariest paper, one after another... Gosh!! And the past year paper was as bad as the subjects.. Huhuhu!!!
P/S : to 'someone', please let me do properly ya!! :)
Sorry for not updating my blog... It has been a long time since from the previous post.
Exams approaching, do not have the time to blog, please have some patience. I will blog till night long after my exams.
Es tut mir leid. Ich habe keine Zeit.
And yeah, when you are bored, kindly visit my blog(There are lots of nice songs and nice posts to read at).
Danke schoen!
Best regards,
personally from the author of the blog.( yeah, of course... if not who else will have the access to this blog) :-)
Viel Glueck!
ARGHHH!!! WHAT ABOUT NOW???!!!! OF COURSE, CA's week.. BO-RING!!! haha..
The first quiz is the German quiz, which I had done it. Aiks, thought that I will do better, but in the end, still maintained it. Disappointed? I utter: yeah, a bit! But after so much of the hardwork to understand the mechanism of German and to memorise the gender of the things, I should feel satisfied. 64 marks is an OK to me. What do you guys think? lolx.
Next Monday, Again, German Assessment. This time, it's not like ABC and just fill in the blanks. It will need to answer the questions. How to use nicht and kein, when to change kein to keinen, how to write the structure meeaningfully, bla bla bla... Anyway, will revise it again. Hope for the best!!
Tuesday will be the BS 103, that's the organic chem. I THINK, I can do well. Cause some I had learnt during Form 6. Since the understanding is there, so just need a little bit of hard work and a little bit of luck to score the quiz. 30%, you will be in my hands tightly soon!! ;-)
Thursday will be the BS 101, introductory biology. Uhh, I hate that core module. But the tutor did ask us to read the lecture notes in depth. And he said that the tutorial questions will be a good start. How to count this and that... Ok, will listen to you!! Wakakak!!
Tutorial 10 will be the Econs quiz. It will be in MCQ form and consists of 20 objective questions. For each question, it will give you a 1.5 mark. So, gotta start looking at the tutorial questions now!!
Will have 2 posts on this blog for today... Kindly read them if you are not bored.
On the 25th of September 4.45 pm, we(sis and I) boarded onto the airplane, saw the beautiful white clouds, watched the wide blue ocean, experienced some turbulences in the airplane, and finally reached Penang. It was about 6 pm. Being received by my grandparents and my parents. They were so happy to see us. :) My aunt drove the us back to her house. We stopped by her house and gave some souveneirs. Ate some bread(hungry like hell) cause we hadn't taken our dinner yet. At first thought of taking dinner in Penang, but we scared that my grandfather's eyesight were not very good. So, we decided to take our dinner in Taiping.
So, from Penang, it took about nearly 2 hours to reach Taiping. Normally, it will only take about 45 mins to reach Taiping. But, JAMMED!!! So, it was about 8 something when we reached Taiping. And we still hadn't taken our dinner yet. I think that the intake of breads into our digestive system were quite many. haha!! As 930 was our chanting session, we went to our 'friend's house for chanting. Knowing that we hadn't taken our dinner, she asked her maid to have 2 plates of fried rice for us. Oooooo... That was yummy!! lolx.
So, how did I spend my time during the recess week?? Studying?? No....
The answer is.... FB-ing, msn-ing, watching movies, lazy-ing around, sleeping, eating...
haha!!
Went to Ipoh at Saturday, went to my friend's house. So, it was about time for us to be at the bus station. Breakaway was in my mind when the bus started moving...
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Bye Bye TAIPING!!! I will see you in December!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! HOHOHOHO!!!!
On the 21st of September, my facebook got spammed, every comments were having ' happy birthday' these 2 words!!!! lolx.
Really thanks a lot to my family and my friends. May you be well and happy!!!
In terms of how to celebrate my birthday, in my opinion, I had celebrated it. Of course it's without cakes or party or whatsoever..
Celebrated with my sis. We planned to go to the Ling Zhi restaurant in Novena Square. From Jurong to Novena, it will take about 1 hour and 30 mins if we were to take bus or MRT. So, we decided to take a cab to our destination.
Reached there and we were informed that the restaurant was having some wedding functions or whatsoever. And they did not have buffet.. Sigh, couldn't eat the monkey head mushroom. Nevermind, we decided to go to Lotus Restaurant which is located in Novena too, but it's in a hotel known as Quality hotel. Kek sim, that restaurant was having the same event as the Ling Zhi restaurant. Was really very hungry!!!! ARGHHH.... lolx
So, now what??? Yeah, TO ALJUNIED WE GO!!!
Aljunied has a vege restaurant. The food is scrumptious!!! But the place is kinda small. So since it was quite late, we were scared that there was no place for us and we would have to wait. Should we have to wait, we would have gastric problems. XD. Luckily, there were some tables that were available. YES!!! Could eat at last!!! Ordered 'Fish' and Chips. YUMMY!!!
That was how I celebrated my birthday!!!
Now, TUTORIALS AND ASSIGNMENTS, HERE I AM!! HUHUHU!!! =.= lolx!!!
Wednesday.... The day that I always have lots of dreams to be made of... :)
But... This time, I had to wake up early. This was because I had the Choir Performance!!!
Woke up at 10 something and did my German homework... Oops.. German tutorial falls on every monday and wednesday.. haha.. Nevermind, I managed to finish it. After memorising the food's gender (eg. die banane(n), der Apfel(Ae)....), went and have a relaxing and moisturising bath. Rejuvenated!!! That time was 1130am and I was supposed to meet the choir members at 1200 pm in LT 20. Was still in the hall and in the room, slowly packed all my things. Why wanna rush? There was no reason for me to rush. :-)
Finally, walked out from my room. Decided to walk to LT 20. Prefer to walk than to wait for the super duper slow bus A. To reach LT 20, I will need 15 mins of walk. YEAH!! It's very far from my hall. The clock showed 1145 am. I had 15 mins left. Guess what would I do? Of course, to fill my hungry stomach first. So, went to canteen A to have lunch. Filled up my stomach and it was 1203 pm. Walked to LT 20. And it was 1210 pm. haha. Was a bit late, but the performance did not start yet. Was supposed to start at 1245 pm. So, we took the opportunity to revise the songs that we were supposed to sing. The songs were Halu and Menceceh Bujang Lapuk.
Sure, we human will tend to forget something, and so do I too. I had totoally forgotten about the lyrics especially Menceceh Bujang Lapuk. I did not like that song. Whereas I could still remember the lyrics of Halu which means spring in english. Did not bother about it. Just tried my best to sing them out. The whole choir team presented those 2 songs. OK, it was just a so so. But this totally gave us the opportunity to stand in front of the audiences to perform. My dream was to stand in front of many many many... much more than this, to perform it.
Dropped choir. I know I know, I told you all that I love to stand in front of the audiences to perform. But, it's real time consuming. The practises are like 2 days per week, and holidays I can't go back home. So, if the marginal benefit is lesser than the marginal cost, why would I still continue it? Right? haha!!
A friend of mine told me, she wanna turned back the time and be a baby once more. No worries and no sufferings. Is it possible to turn back the time? As I had blog about the time on ' My Dear', absolutely there are no other ways for us to turn back the time. (Unless you have the time reversal) lolx.
What is life? Sure, everybody will have such thinking. Yeah, everybody will have the same question, but the answer might not be the same. 'Life is full of sufferings', this will be the first and mostly people will choose to answer. But for the minority, they will answer, ' We are here to cultivate good attitude, to lead a middle path'.
Why life is suffering? It's because these people have lots of cravings in their life. Frankly speaking, we really want a lot, but what we really need in our life is just so little, so little. Should we have a healthy body and have an optimistic mind, we should be appreciative. Some may not have the luck to even have a healthy body, some may not have the ability to walk, some may not have the money to buy their 3 meals..... So, say it out loudly.. We are really very lucky, so don't tell others why life is so suffering as you have not seen the REAL UNLUCKY ones.
We can't turn back the time, BUT we can walk towards the future, so why not just walk towards it instead of sitting and crying, saying 'why life is suffering, I wanna go back to the time when there were no worries and no sufferings in life'. We should not be staying in the past. Just let go of the past. It will just be memories, nothing else! Embrace the future with optimistic mind. The world will be painted with lots of colours!!!
Yeah, there will be a 'first' to every events that occur in your life.
Yesterday I went for the tutorial for BS 102 and BS 104. The two tutorials were in the same room. So, I sat in the second row. Suddenly there was a guy, he sat beside me. But I were listening to my mp3. So, there was a silence between him and me. haha. So, the tutor came in finally. Was a Phd. student. Even though he's (only) a Phd. student, but I salute him. Frankly speaking, he's way more better than the stupid Korean lecturer, whom I do not know what is he teaching about. For the previous lecture, that was on RNA, he used merely 1 hour to finish the lecture. The lecture was supposed to be 2 hours, and what to do with the 1 hour left? Of course, as expected, he set us off early. Uhh!!!! So, why do I salute the tutor? It's because he used diagrams and explained to us. That's the way to learn biology. What the lecturer did was, yeah, he used diagrams too, but he just followed what's in the lecture notes. May i ask how am I supposed to learn in that way? IT"S UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!! (Depicted from Simon Cowell in American Idol) lolx.
So, back to the main topic. I did not finish copying the answer that was provided by the tutor. And I asked the guy who sat beside me. He did not finish too. Eventually, I did finish copying (my eyes are good at looking others' things without their knowledge). lolx. So, I let him copy the answer. Afterthat, we began to chat and from the way he spoke, I knew his origin is from China. haha. He thought that I'm a Singaporean, oh.. do I look like a Singaporean? haha.
So that's how our friendship begins, and he's my first international friend. Haha!!
To my dear, Time...
Tick tock tick tock tick tock....
Time, you will never stop walking, why don't you just have a rest? I think you must be real tired, cause you always walk and let the powerless human look at you. Just stop there, even for 1 minute or 1 second, then I will be very thankful to you. Unfortunately, you will just keep on walking, walking, walking, to the eternity.You promised me that, you will walk slowly. 24 hours per day non-stop, for humans, I think they would die of hunger and dehydration. That's what amazed me!! You are a Hercules to everyone!! Lolx!! However, since I came here, I felt you had betrayed me. You walked even faster, and I will always be at your back. I could see your shadow, but I could not see you. Where have you been?
Lolx, the above description is just for entertainment. Just wanna say that, since I came here, I felt that time is so limited for me. Wake up, attend lectures, attend tutorials, go for lunch and dinner, then come back to hostel and sleep. It's kinda boring I think. For a long time, I din even have the time to watch movies on Youtube. Have to find 1 day to watch movies. It's not that I do not want to watch movies, just feel that time is so limited. Mostly spend on studying. I do not know why I keep on studying, as I had known that for ages. Maybe just to confirm that I'm on the right track. Haha!! Yeah, this wednesday will be my free time, I will spend some time to watch my favourite movies.
Yeah, this week I have the German quiz. The schedule said that it's either on friday or saturday. But my German tutor said that maybe they will schedule it earlier. Lolx, practice makes perfect. I believe I can do it!!
And, for your information, I just got sub comm for Buddhist society. huhuhu.. haha.. It's ok, cause I know that one day I will be sitting on the post. What a great confidence here!! haha..
Tough days back then. Joined choir and Buddhist society as ECAs. The ECAs points are important for us international students to secure a hall for next year, or else, you will be seeing there are lots of people will be squatting at the street, and maybe, you will be seeing me too!! lolx, joking. haha. As for the information how do we allocate a hall for next year, here are some details. As an international students, we have 9 points in our hands. But the minimum ECA points that we must allocate is 15. That is only the minimum. Who knows afterthat they will increase till 16 points, then I'm sure that you will be seeing me at the streets of Singapore. Famous huh? hahaha... So where do we have to allocate another 6 more points? From the post of the clubs or societies. Even for sub comms, we have to be interviewed to get the small post, so for a bigger post, ya should have some ideas what they are going to ask about or which type of bullets they are going to use.
The first interview that I went was the sub comm interview for Buddhist Society. Nervous, did not have the idea what they were going to ask. Sis told me they would treat you just like a friend. Lolx. Erin and I were there for the interview. Her first choice was Resource and second was Fellowship. While the first choice of mine was Dharma and second was Event. Eventually it was my turn. I went into the interview room. It was SUPER COLD. I mean, the room was already cold and the adrenaline level at that time was SUPER HIGH. Should the doctor would to examine my blood pressure, I think it would be like maybe 210/120? haha. So, I was being interviewed by 2 guys. Kinda pressure, 2 at once (200% versus 100%)lolx. Of course, they would ask you to introduce yourself first. I just introduced myself accordingly to what I had written in the blog, in the ' about me' column. So, they were like laughing. haha. Being interviewed for about 30 minutes, and finally I was released from the 'jail'. lolx.
So, after the sub comm interview for Buddhist Society that was on Tuesday, Wednesday I would be having the choir main comm interview. I wanted to run for the tenor sectional leader. The interview was at about 9 something in the evening. Reached the room, AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE 6 INTERVIEWERS!!! The vice president of the choir asked me to sit in front. This was even harder!! ( 600% versus 100%). jia lat liao la!!! (Sorry but have to use a bit of dialect here, so that it won't be boring)lolx. On the spot, they asked me to teach a SENIOR to sing the song. I just teached what I can. After that, the interview started. Asked me about what do you feel about music. Of course, I will bla as much as possible about music, cause I'm experienced in it. lolx. Then after the interview, finally the bullets appeared. And I did not know what the bullet was made of, he told me,' can I be brutally honest with you?' So I did say ok. The big bullet was,' your teaching technique is so not fantastic.' haha. lolx. Nevermind, just let him shoot, and in the end, he told me,' but actually for the first time, your teaching is quite good.' lolx, I do not know what they were talking about. Just forget about it. haha.
Then the final interview was the main comm for Buddhist society which fell on Thursday. Waited from 1900 till 2129pm though there were only a few people, think about 14 or 15 people. It was my turn, again, and I went into the tutorial room. And again, the same interviewers. They did introduce to me and from there I found out that he's the Dharma Propagation Director. Lolx, shocked!! Still, I continued to be interviewed by them. Uhh, reached till the last few questions which were very hard for me to answer as I do not encounter that before. Just tried to give the best answer. Finally, they told me,' if unfortunately you were not choosen into the main comm, will you be staying with us as a sub comm?' I said ,'sure, my faith towards NTUBS and Buddhism will not fade.' Lol, and they even told me, promise me yea. Uhh, based on that, the chance for me to be in the main comm is quite slim. But of course, the results is not out yet, so why should I be worrying about it? Just let it be natural. Follow the natural law. Lolx. Haha. Will let you know when I got the results!!!
HOPE FOR THE BEST!!!!
Signed up for the registration for choir. The audition date was on the 20th and 21st of August.
Decided to go on the 20th. Wanna go for the audition as soon as possible.
I did not know what they would test about. Was it to present a song? Or they would play the piano and we would just follow accordingly. Out of my mind. I brought along my mp3, just in case. Should they want me to present a song, the songs that were in my mind were either Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman, Come back to me by David Cook, Touch my hand by David Archuleta or Bleeding Love by Jesse McCartney. Was quite nervous. Worried that will my voice be out of tune.
Sis and I were waiting at the LT 7. There was a girl. She approached me, asking about the place for choir audition. I told her it was here. Then we started chatting. I asked her did she know anything about the choir audition. She said she did not know anything. The person in charged asked her just go for the audition.
Finally the door opened. When we went in, there was one lecturer there. The girl told the lecturer that we would be having our choir audition here. Then the lecturer told us, ' no, I will be having lectures at 1900 pm.' Huh!!! Then where was the place for the audition? I phoned the person who was in charged for the choir. Then.... bai oo long... The choir audition was in TR 7.. not LT 7. kekeke..
So we went to TR 7. There were quite a lot of people there, especially china people. (just like me, wanna gain points so that they will be able to secure a hall for next year.. We are in the same boat) keke. I applied for the tenor and bass sectional leaders. So, the person asked me to wait before going in for the audition. Finally, it was my turn. A bit nervous. lolx. It came out that we just sing accordingly to what the person was playing. It was kinda easy right? lolx. As expected(not praising myself), I passed the audition and got tenor. Woohoo.. haha..
I know it's a bit late for me to blog about this. But still, I've to blog it. Wakaka.. Happy birthday to you, mama..
Luckily sis did remind me that mama's birthday is on the 20th of august. If not, I would have totally forgotten about it (Oopps...) haha!!
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to mama,
Happy birthday to you!!!
Yesterday for the whole evening I could not get access to the internet. It's was ok in the afternoon and when I came back from my dinner, everything went wrong. It kept on stating that the computer was connected to an unidentified network and it was unsecured. This was the first time I encountered it. I did not know what should I do. Went to the hall office. Forgotten that it would close at 5 pm. Asked around. My friends from hall 2 said that the line was perfectly ok, nothing wrong. Nervously, I asked another friend from my hall. She said she was out for dinner and the line was ok. Seeing all these make me anxious. Feeling so helpless.
I tried to sign in the windows live messenger to check what was wrong with the internet connection. It stated that the defalut gateway was offline. What causes the default gateway to be offline? There are a few possibilities. One is the network admin has blocked the connections to the internet and the other one is the router is busy or switched off. I thought why would the network admin block my access to the internet? So it will not be the possibility why couldn't I get access to the internet. 99% of the answer will be the router is busy or was accidentally being switched off by the hall officer.
Finally, my friend sms me that her friend could not get access to the internet. 'Fuh' was my expression. It means that I'm not the one who was having this problem. But the weird thing is why the others from the same hall as me can get access to the internet while some cannot? Funny...
Anyway, the line is stable now.
Yesterday was the first tutorial of German class. I was kinda late for the tutorial because I was hanging quite a number of clothes(lazy person will be like that) lolx. Reached there around 4:41 pm. The tutorial class was supposed to start at 4:30 pm. Entered the room and the German tutor asked a boy and me(the boy too late for the tutorial) to wait for awhile. Then at first he bla a lot and I did not understand a word from his mouth. After that, the first question he asked us was, ' Alles klar?' then he pointed to the whiteboard ' ja'. I guess he was asking, ' do you understand?' and the answer was 'yes'. Then afterthat he pointed to the word Entshuldigung which means sorry. lolx.
We got to sit down eventually. Guten Tag, Guten Morgen, Guten Abend, Guten Nacht, Gestern, Sonntag.... Wie hieBen Sie.. (the B is not the ' B' in english... it's a double s.) Although it was a tough language, I find it interesting. Different questions have different answers although the meaning is the same, such as ' Wie hieBen Sie? Ich hieBen Mel Veen Boo' and 'Wie ist Ihr Name, bitte? Mein Name ist Mel Veen Boo.' The meaning of the two questions above have the same meaning, which means, what is your name? My name is Mel Veen Boo.
The pronunciation of the alphabet is very different from English, for example, g is pronounced as ghee, y is pronounced as upsilon, j is pronounced as yadut. The vowels in German are a, o and u. Sometimes you may see there's a double line on top of the alphabet, and the lines are on these three vowels. It is known as umlaut. lolx. Sounds funny right? haha.
Ok, that's all for today. Auf Wiedersehen!
It's my first day of lecture of BS 101(Introductory of biology). My seniors were saying that if ya listened and study the lecturer's notes, then it will be an easy A for you. At first, I do not really believe it. But now, I think i do believe.
Entered the lecture theater and sat with my friends. After a few minutes, the lecturer came in. Ok, so class starts now. And the first slide he showed us was..... 子曰：。。。。huh?? Confucious saying is also in the slide of introductory of biology?? What a lol to me. Then nevermind, afterthat, astronomy is in too. Sun is a star... There are 8 planets in our solar system. Pluto is considered a drawf planet....... I thought i entered into the astronomy class. lolx. Doesn't make any sense at all. haha. He did say that this will be tested in our exam. LOL?? Is this biology?? Whatever. haha.
After that, I thought that I have the lab session. But I heard my friend saying ' no lab.. next week only have labs'. I was wondering, it's week 2 right? we should have labs. He asked me to go into our school website and find the time table. In the end, I'm in the losing end. (lol, not so serious). Fine, this means that I can go do the student pass thingy. Went to student service centre with erin. We were so stupid cause the centre is right in front of us and we went one big round. lolx. BLUR... We went into the building and were finding where to do the student pass. And again we did not see the big word there 'STUDENT PASS DOWN'. Really went blur. haha.
It's such a long day, and finally we got our student pass ready. Will collect it on the 27th of august. huh.. After this will have my German class, will get some rest first. ciao!!!
It has been six days and still I did not update my blog. Sorry guys, have no time to blog. But it's ok, now I'm blogging and I'm gonna tell you what had happened for the last few days.
I did tell ya that I attended for the BS 103 ( organic chemistry) right? So, afterthat, one of the senior asked us to go to the BS school. I wonder what was going to happen. Still I followed that one big group. (Follow the crowd) lolx.
Soon, we reached the BS school and we entered into the lecture theater. There, the president of the BS club was waiting for us. He just wanted to brief on how many AUs we all could take, the INSTEP thingy(students exchange programme), then about the BS club, and one last thing was the add and drop courses. As I had only 16 AUs, I need to add another one more course to make it to 19 AUs.(16 AUs is too little) The add or drop course started at 7 in the evening. So, actually I did have a course in my mind, and it would be Spanish language. I aimed for it. At the ' course vacancies', I saw it had 7 vacancies left and till 7 in the evening approximately, I clicked on the ' add course into the STARS'. It came out,' no vacancies left'. LOL???!!! WHAT?? SO FAST!!! Nevertheless, I still had other languages in my mind, and it was german. Still, it had no vacancies at all. I was like sitting speechlessly there. lolx. The others told me that some one will sure drop off the course. I waited. Day after day, still no vacancies. I thought of taking the languages in my next semester. I did not care about it anymore. (In actual life, I'm still very anxious about it. lolx)
Till Saturday, I woke up early(about 9 something) cause 10 am was the time to add the course. Eventually, I waited till 10 am and aimed for the German course. Still, nothing came out. Xuan le ba... I went for a bath and when I came back, suddenly, MIRACLE HAPPENED!! Somebody dropped off the course, and it showed '1' vacancy. Hastily and happily, I clicked on the 'add course', and finally, I did add the course. Uhh... See.. Time is so precious for me, that I can't even blog. lolx.
Ooooo... Sunday approched. I was supposed to be at the food fair to help around and to.... SING. hehe. However, I can't. Feeling kinda sad. haha. It would be fun to be at the food fair as I called some of my friends to go for the food fair. So how was it?? Did you try out the mee rebus? It's supposed to be VERY VERY VERY (x infinite) NICE!! And for the chai kuih too.. It would be a waste if ya din try out the food. The purpose of the food fair is to raise fund to build a new centre near Changkat Jering. The centre consists of old folks home, clinic, place to meditate, etc. The centre is quite big and will be built in 2 years time. Waiting for it. lolx.
Ok, tomorrow will be my first class of German language. Hope I can master it well. Yay!!!
Today was my first lecture and I don't even know where the lecture theatre 20 is located. Luckily I messaged my coursemate yesterday and she said she knows the place. Ok. Let's get started.
Woke up quite late ( 0730). I thought that I had set the hp alarm. Yes, indeed I had set the alarm but I did not enable it. lolx. So, everything was done in a rush and went to the bus stop at around 0750. I was supposed to meet her at Canteen A at arouond 0800. Canteen A is located far away from my hall. If I would to take the shuttle bus, then it would be easier as I do not have to walk a lot. But sometimes, things do not go accordingly to your will. The shuttle bus took a long time to come to my hall and I looked at my watch, Gosh, it's 0807. She phoned me eventually, telling me that she's in canteen A. I told her I was waiting for the shuttle bus. Still, the shuttle bus did not come. I decided to walk to canteen A.
WALK?? huh.. next time I would have to wake up early so that I do not need to walk a lot. To me, the journey from my hall to Canteen A was like from taiping to KL. Need to walk up the hill, up and down the staircase, straight road as it was like a neverending journey. Finally I reached canteen A and together with some other coursemates, we now head for LT 20. At first I thought my coursemate knew where is LT 20. At last, all in a mess. She phoned the senior where's LT 20. ' Level 2??' then we pressed level 2. ' No no.. level 4' Again, we pressed level 4. ' Near 7 11?? Business library there??'' Go up and come down and at last, it was our initial level. What a joke!!
Luckily, we were still on time for the lecture. Today was organic chemistry. It was like form 6 chemistry... sigma bond ( I kept hearing the lecturer saying six six six), energy level, spdf orbitals, valence bond theory... Just have to revise the form 6 chemistry and it should be sufficient. The lecture lasted for 2 hours and I was about to fall asleep as I have the basic knowledge to organic chem in form 6 (luckily I did not fall asleep) and it ended. Finally, I can go back to my own room to have a rest(rest is a nicer word to use than sleep). haha!!
Came back on friday morning. VERY VERY VERY EXHAUSTED!!! Having fever and I thought i'm gonna have the sensitive 'H' word.. haha!! All started from the orientation. Bathed late, wake up early, plus not enough water. Body being dehydrated and at last, this was how I look.... SLEEPING ON THE BED once I reached home. zzzzzzzzzzzzz.........
Still feeling dizzy when I woke up, kept on drinking lots of water ( maybe tons? haha) and took some paracetamol. Soon, I got much better than before, but still a little weak. So, friday was the day that I could describe it as a sleeping day!!! haha!!
Saturday was Guan Yin Dan's eve. We, including my parents were very excited about it. At about 1930, we went to the temple to have our dinner. And at 2130, the bell started to ring and ask us to be in the temple to pray. Usually the prayer will last for 1 hour, so was for this too. After the prayer, it's time for them to 'receive' the Gods. Very very packed with people
. BUT NOT AS PACKED AS TOMORROW....
Finally, the day had come. Woke up early at bout 0710. 0800 was our prayer. We hastily went to the temple for our breakfast. Ate some kuihs and some fried kuey teow. The bell rang again, and it was time for our prayer. After our prayer, we went through a small bridge (can be fixed) to make ourselves luckier. Was quite tired and slept on a chair. 1100 am was another prayer for us again. Prayed and this time with the addition of 3 times of da bei zhou, 3 times of xin jing and 9 times of wang sheng zhou for the animal liberation. It was nice to see the birds finally had the freedom to fly around, the fish had the freedom to swim and etc. After that, we went back home to have some rest first.
At night, still we have to pray at 2000. After our prayers, my mom and I went back home while my sis and my dad were there to witness how the people sent the Gods back. My sis had recorded it and brought back to let us watch. It was kinda fun and interesting. They sang ' Happy Birthday' song to guan yin. Duh... I missed that part out. haha!! It's ok, there will be many chances for me to sing as she has 3 times in a year. hehe.
Happy birthday to you, Godmother!!
Sorry for not updating my blog. Time seems to be very limited for me to blog because of the orientation that I'm having it now.
FOC (Freshman Orientation Camp) is the orientation held by the malaysian. Purpose? Makes you feel at ease. We are family.. Sort of that kind of thing. Everyday have to wake up very early in the morning (like school days-0630 am, cause I had been sleeping till noon during the holidays... lolx.) So, after waking up by your own, as usual, prepare breakfast by your own, tidy the bed up by your own... (Everything by your own.. lolx.) then our seniors will gather us (us in this context means the other students from other states and me together) in our own hall. Then, we will have our breakfast together.
Ice-breaking session is fun. Met a lot of new friends, but of course not as close as the friends whom I have before I left for singapore. Still, the process has to start all over and over again. Introducing oneself, which course, which hall, came from where... =.= bla bla bla... After that, we will play games with the other group of students. Play till 1130 pm. Gosh.. It's a whole day. I really admire some of the students here. They are still so energetic even though it's near midnight. Uhh..
The orientation camp will last for 7 days, which means this is the third day. But I will b going back on thursday night (tomorrow), so have to speed up my ice breaking session with the other students.
Ok, that's all.. I'm going to have a rest now!
The title above means 'I Love You'. Some words for my parents and some of my close friends before I leave for Singapore.
TO
My parents: I may have some quirks and I bet everyone has it too. Sometimes I may be understandable, and sometimes I may not be. I do not really show out my emotions. So sometimes when you all asked to pack my things or whatsoever, I will just put on my ' lackadaisical face' and ' my favourite quote, that will be the ' wait for awhile' will be out from my mouth. It seems that I have a lackadaisical attitude, but the facial expression is not the true expression. The real expression I will not show it on my face, but in my heart. So it's quite hard to understand me, but I will change the habit so that you all can understand well. :-) LOVE YA!! MUAKSS.. I will always take care of myself, so do not worry about me.
Suah Kean (if you were to read it, if not, it does not matter): I don't really know what to tell you anymore. haha! I think I've told you everything that is necessary. Yeah, just take care and study well!
Yi Phing: In Lower 6, you looked at me and I looked at you. You look like you are kinda fierce, and vice versa too. Haha! So in upper 6 we were quite close and were quite crazy that time. Those were the days I can say it. So, this long term holiday makes us even closer and I found that we both are the same kind of person. Love emo songs, love oldies... etc. Anyway, I will be waiting for you to become a doctor ya.. Doctor Lim!! haha!!
Ee Xian: Oh, my junior!! haha! Just pulling your legs.. STPM is around the corner, so be sure not to be lazy ya! I wish that your dreams will come through, as long as you can get good results!! I believe you can do it, cause...... YOU ARE MY JUNIOR!! lol..
Shee Leng: Classmates since young.. haha.. being reunited at Monica's tuition class.. lol.. You are such a nice friend. Just do not always think about working ya, study is important too. You are good at doing charity, keep up the good job!! Thumbs up for this statement!!
Few words before I leave:
I promise you,
I'm always there.
When your heart is full of sorrow and despair,
And I'll carry you,
When you need a friend,
you'll find my footprints in the sand...
P/S : Should I leave your(my friends) name out, I'm so sorry. Friends Forever!! Cheers!!
Matriculated online today. After entering the user account's name, clicked on the Academic Yr 2009-2010, finally i got to know what subjects that i will be studying.
BS101 - Introductory biology
BS102 - Biophysical chemistry
BS103 - Organic chemistry
BS104 - Biochemistry I- Biomolecules
BS811 - Laboratory ( uhh... i hate it.. lolx)
Here will be the worst part...
HE191 - Principles of economics ( As prescribed elective)
For God's sake, why go and choose this subject for me to study? Demand and supply. Marginal reasoning and profit maximuzation. Market structure. Externality. Introduction to Macroeconomics. Keynesian Cross Model. Money, banking and financial Institutions. Aggregate demand and aggregate supply. Open economy. International trade.
And I think i gotta clear another elective, because I'm supposed to clear 19 AU in the first semester, but what is written in the net was only 16 AU. So, I think i will take up spanish. So, I gotta start to learn how to roll my tongue. That day I saw someone teaching how to roll your tongue. When you are drinking water, do not let the water enter into your throat first. Keep your head held high, then you should know how to make the sound 'grogrogro'. That is the way how you can roll your tongue properly.
Haha.. Anyway, I believe I can do it!!!
Because......
I
BELIEVE
I
CAN
FLY!!!
YEAH!!!
hahaha...
Hola amigos, ya estoy de vuelta!! ( hello, i'm back!!). Sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time(it's only 5 days, lolx) cause i was in singapore for 3 days.
Actually the journey to singapore had 2 parts. The first part was on saturday. My father drove to penang to put a night at my aunt's newly bought house (paranomic, but it's humid. Need to switch on the air-cond). Reached there around 6 something in the evening. After having our luggages(mostly my luggages for the preparation to study in singapore) be in my aunt's house, we went out for dinner.(damn hungry). After our dinner, my aunt and her boyfriend took us for window shopping( the term window shopping here means sitting in the car and passed through all those full-of-peope restaurants and those incredibly extortionate appartments). You can describe the penangnites as night birds. The concept 'the night is still young' is being instilled in their mind. But of course not as populous as in singapore. Later, we went back to my aunt's house. Had to sleep early as we had to wake up early in the morning(still i'm watching tv).
The second part was on sunday. I personally think that i was the last to wake up(Sleep tight is my concept).lolx. Couldn't sleep too even the air-cond was switched on cause it was quite humid. Woke up and had a bath. After that, my aunt drove us to the penang international airport at around 7 something. Yeah, we were flying to singapore. By what? MAS?? Nein... Fireflyz?? Nein.. AIRASIA?? aye aye. 08:50 am was our departure time. Had to reach there 45 minutes earlier to check in. Tick-tock-tick-tock.. time flies. Finally, we could board into the airplane. Hungry again. Thought that the food was out of our choice, but I found there's vegetarian fried rice as I flipped through the magazine. Pressed on the bell to ask the so-called-beautiful air-stewardess. I do not deny that some are quite and some are.. erm.. no comment. Ordered the vegetarian fried rice and it costed us RM 9. Gosh, the money I spent for each meal is only about RM 3 and now you are telling me RM 9?? huhuhu.... Finished the extravagant vegetarian fried rice(huh.. still couldn't get over it. lolx), pressed the bell and asked the air-stewardess to throw the aluminium coil away. Finally we reached singapore. It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes, so 10:15 am was the time that we were supposed to step on the very ground of singapore.
Came out from the Changi airport, board onto a taxi to fetch us to my sis's appartment. Arrived at my sis's appartment about 11 something i think, do not really remember it. Went to JP for our lunch. Then walked here and there, forgotten seeing what things. Tell ya all first, the most I can always remember was the places where we ate. haha! Went to a place called Potong Pasir( funny and funky huh? lolx) to take photos for my sis graduation. I'm so scared of the result of the photo after being combined with my short hair. Will I look good? lolx.
On monday, we went to NTU to scout around where is my hall and my school. Nothing special on that day.(will not mention about the eating places cause these will be quite phlegmatic to ya all.). During night, my sis was preparing for her convocation, that will be tomorrow. Asked me to record her convo with the cam-corder.
The most important day had arrived. We woke up early to go to NTU for witnessing my sis's convo. We were in the auditorium at 9 am. Her convo started at 10 am. The opening ceremony was all about the proffesors of NTU walking into the auditorium. The profs' metabot was like the pirate's hat. If you know who is Christopher Columbus, then you should know what i'm talking about. haha! Soon, the proffesor was starting to give the certificate to the graduates. The names were arranged accordingly to alphabetical order. A B C D..... L M N.. Then suddenly they were clapping vociferously. I thought the boy was holding a first-class honour. Ended up, they were clapping so loudly because the boy was the last person to receive the certificate. The hilarious part was, the proffesor forgotten about the representative who wanted to give a speech. He went and sat at his place. Everybody was laughing. Finally, he realised it and quickly announced about it. After that, the graduation ceremony was declared close by the chancellor of the uni. Took photos here and there. Uhh, what a tiring day.
P/S : There are 3 different languages being used here. The first language of course is english, can you guess the other 2 different languages out? Good luck!!
Had my haircut yesterday. Actually, I did not really wanna cut my hair. But you see, for an oblong/rectangular facial shape like me, the recommendation from the net is a short hairstyle. But I wanted to keep my long hair cause I have such a high forehead. Cut or not to cut? I was still doubtful. Undecided. What to do?
Uhh, finally I still opt for the haircut. Seeing my hair, strands after strands being cut by a pair of scissors that was held by the barber, mix feelings started to linger around me. Should I know how to style my hair, then it would not be a problem for me. She styled my hair, and it was nice, AT FIRST. After I went for a bath, all hell broke loose when I started to look into the mirror. I felt my face was funny in the sense that my face is long and slender. (Delusion?? I wonder.)
Maybe the hair was a little too short for me. (that was out of my expectation). Have to wear a cap till my hair starts to grow. By the way, wearing a cap will shorten my long face. A little moustache will make my face wider. ( of course not too long, if not 1) I will be complained by my family and my friends. 2) It will make my face looks longer. )
Before the haircut, aww... kinda miss it.
But it's ok, my hair grows very fast, in 1 month's time, I will get back the same result.
In this pic, I've grown fatter, 62 kg. Congrats to me ya!! lolx.
These few days have been working out on my body. Did push up for at least 20 to 30 times a day. 
The aftermath of the haircut.lolx. Just kidding. (have to wear a cap)
To my hair (just for fun):
Tell my why, you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why, I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you.
P/S: Not over it means I still yearn over you, I still miss you.
A little too not over you means I still miss you, a little too
much.
Hall 4?? Aww... So old.. lolx.
Look at the description below:
Established: 1988
Residential Blocks: 22 to 27
Toilet & Bath: common
Capacity : 501
single rooms : 79
double rooms : 211
Monthly : Rates
Layout : Hall
Bed Size 36 x 75 x 4
Look at it.. Uhh!! (just to release tension). Anyway, we should be appreciative of what we have.
1 week + 2 days more, I should learn how to embrace 'singapore' this word!!
Finally, 108 times of the Great Compassionate Mantra!! Ooh!!
We went to the temple at 7 something in the evening. And there's the use of me being there... TO HELP OF COURSE!! lolx. Taking out the tables from the store room, moving the chairs into the temple, and ultimately helping others to devour the food! There were mee, mihun (inputted with a lot of pepper, can't eat much), and my favourite chai kuih! It was damn toothsome! And for the dessert, that will be fu jok yi mai.
The chanting session started at 20:00 approximately. There were 5 person to hit the mu yu (a tool that will give out sound when you hit it's head. Softly please! lolx). I'm one of the 5 person, and was placed the third to hit the mu yu. It was kinda fun.
Eventually, 108 times of the Great Compassionate Mantra ends. The clock put both of its fingers at 01:15. It took us 5 hours to finish 108 times of the mantra. Follow up was the chanting of na mo yan shou siao jai yao shi fo for 108 times. That would just take us 5 to 6 minutes to put an end to it. Lastly, it was the wang sheng zhou for 9 times. 4 to 5 minutes will do.
Finally, chanting session finished! Hurray! And I thought I would like to grab some chai kuih from the outside of the temple, but then, heart broke when we have to do some meditation to spread out some Metta first before we can leave the temple. Sob sob... Nevermind, cause sooner or later, I would grab some food for my voracious stomach. :)
After treating my edacious stomach, so it's time for us to go home. We reached home at 02:00 approximately.
Overall, I don't feel exhausted at all!!
Just drop by here to tell ya i'm off to the temple for 108 times of the Great Compassionate Mantra and 108 times of na mo siao jai yan shou yao shi fo, and 9 times of wang sheng zhou. Am very excited about it! Yeah!
Sub of this, Butterfly fly away is such a nice song! Sang by Billy Ray Cyrus ( feat. Miley Cyrus). No doubt, Billy Ray is the father of Miley(As you can see both the surnames are the same, Cyrus). For more information, you gotta refer to the another blog of mine. (Have not updated about this song in that blog though!)
Recently I've been watching a German soap opera. The storyline is so meaningful, full of love and care! Have not finished watching it yet, still lots to go! Will share with ya all when i'm finished with it!
Ok, gotta leave now! Off to the temple now!
July baby, happy birthday to you! I wonder do you still remember the song that I gave it to you.
Last year this day was a Tuesday. We went to Piano Cafe(closed down) to celebrate with you. Yeah, Yi Phing promised to come, but because it was raining cats and dogs out there, so she could not come by her own bike.
I played the piano. It was like 3 songs I played. The first song would be the ' Happy Birthday'. The second song was requested by one of my friend. It was a chinese song. The third song was the song that I composed for you.
Best friend,
Does it exists?
I don't believe, till one day.
Hello, this was the first word I said to you,
There's how our friendship grows.
I had forgotten what we've talked,
Though some were
futile
Somehow I'm happy
to hear that
Cause you are my best friend!
Whenever there are ups and downs,
you will be always there for me
When I'm in darkness
You will pull me
To a brighter place
And I will tell myself
You are really
Really
My best friend!
It seems that the lyrics part is jejune. Am not an experienced composer. lolx.
So, may you be happy always! May you be healthy always! Study well! tc!!!
Result seems to be so pompous to everyone in this world. Yes, frankly speaking, I do personally feel that 'result' is a very salient word to everybody. But before getting those results, you might have abandoned the most important event in life, that is the process.
Whatever things you do, you must go through the process in life.
Here's a situation:
State: Hungry
What to do: Buy some food
Process: Scrumptious or Feeble
Result: Full.
Analysis from this situation: Whatever food gets into your stomach, eventually you will feel full. But what about the process? The food can be very tasty or can be execrable to you.
What I want to point out is, before getting the results, you should cherish the moments of the process. The process should be an enjoyable moments, not a torturing, torment moment. If you have an enjoyable process, then whatever result is it, you should put on a smilling face. Because deep down in your heart, you know that you yourself had been working very hard for it. Sometimes, luck will not always be by your side. If it is that case, then do not blame yourself. It's not your fault.
Everybody has their own ups and downs. If you know how to manage it, then it will not be a problem to you anymore. When you are at the peak, be humble. When you are at the pit, have positive thinking. It's all part and parcel of life. All of us have to go through it. Don't complain and ask why, just go through it!!
P/S: This is my P.O.V. I do not expect everybody to concur with me.
NO MORE??!! haha! Do not be so anxious, I have not continued with the 'but'.
As I have said in the ' about this blog' column, 'Should I have nothing to blog about, I will blog about songs, especially lyrics'. I will not write in this blog anymore, but will write them in another blog. (http://www.2emos.blogspot.com/)
The name of the blog is ' In Between The Line '. This is a blog which has 2 authors, Vimal and me. We both decided to blog about songs. The blog will not be functioning until my co-writer has the internet connections in the university. In that blog, we will try to interpret out what the lyric of the song is about.( Like what I had done in the previous post, 'permanent' , but it is ersatz interpretation. Plagiarism occurs here. lolx)
Should you have any enquiries about the lyrics, you can go to our blog to have a look(Not now!). May your questions be answered! lolx!
[Cough] [Cough] [Cough]... Cold weather, warm body. Tired, having a little bit of vertigo. In addition, couldn't sleep well at night. This happened because of the stupid mosquitoes, wee wang wang around my ears. They were so irritating till I had to cover myself with my comforter. Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! It's ok, just let my body sweats, sweats out all the unwanted things from my body system.
Thursday early in the morning was the most terrible circumstance for me to go through. I knew it was cooling that day, but my body felt so warm. Dehydrated? I guess so. Woke up from the bed, felt a bit dizzy. Still, life has to continue. You can't just ask the time to stop and let you have a good night sleep. Had no appetite at all. Had to eat though. I don't want to lose any unnecessary fight to any illnesses. Gotta be strong! Yeah!
So, today I've recovered around 90%. Although sometimes the throat will be itchy, but not as itchy as yesterday. Huh, what a narrow escape!(exaggeration) haha! And now, I'm blogging!
P/S : Sickzzzzzzzz (What do you do when you're sick? Of course you will be SLEEPING!)lolx.
This song is written by David Cook himself, specially for his brother Adam Cook, who was having brain cancer, and lost his fight in the early hours of May 3, 2009.
His brother had a great influence on him. If it wasn't for his brother, David would not participate in AI. RIP, Adam Cook!
Lyrics:
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won�t go away today
Will you think that you're all alone
When no ones there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I'm permanent
I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it's all touch and go I wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you're all alone when no ones there to hold your hand
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent
I'm permanent
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry.
Here's the interpretation from his fan ( xXRavenxTressesXx ):
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? - Could possibly be a reference to the thoug that it may be his brother's (Adam I think is his name) final moments.
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry - Even though he promised he'd never cry, he'd always be strong, he can't help but cry now.
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won't go away today - No matter what he does, he can't stop his brother's cancer from progressing, even if he stays by his side.
Will you think that you're all alone, When no ones there to hold your hand? - Self-explanatory, he fears his brother thinks he's all alone in his battle with cancer.
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head, I'm permanent - His life before cancer may seem so far away because he's been battling for so long, but he should just rest because no matter what, David is permanent, he will always be there for him.
I know he's living in hell every single day - He knows his brother has to deal with a living hell of pain every day.
And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place - As most loved ones do when someone they love is dealing with a lot of pain, he pleads with God to let him take Adam's place.
And when they say it's all touch and go I wish I could make it go away - When the doctors say it's all "touch and go" and they don't know what his condition will be like day to day, David wishes he could do something, anything, to just make it go away.
But still you say, Will you think that you're all alone, when no ones there to hold your hand?When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head. I'm permanent, I'm permanent - repeat of everything said earlier.
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry -repeat of everything said earlier .
Uhh.. I'm fed up of the stupid line. It keeps on breaking and breaking, over and over again. Sick of it.
Yeah, last night I was chatting with this friend, I mean online. I won't call her a 'long lost friend', cause she's still got contact with me before she left for Sarawak, UNIMAS. She's studying zoology. Here's some updates from her.
1) I'm sure gonna talk about the line. She said the line is terrible over there. Her hostel has no line at all ( not to say no line, it's can't connect ). Then she has to go to either the study room or library. The library has a perfect line, but she does not go there often. She prefers study room.
2) What's up about her course? Now she's revising her form 6 biology. Though I can still remember the structure and function of nucleus. Want me to say out? Aha.
Nucleus: The largest organelle. Spherical shape. Has nuclear pores that controls the exchange of materials between cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Has nucleolus. Function: Acts as a site which controls most of the activities of the cell, acts as a container for chromatins, nucleolus produces ribosomes, produces RNA and DNA. LOL!! Ok, back to main topic. So, she gotta study general chemistry, biodiversity ( as expected ) , and..... TAMADUN!! haha! Think that zoology is just about animals? Noooo... She will be studying plant diversity. Aww.. Plant biology, please go easy on me, cause I'll be studying that too.. Awful. lolx.
3) Job prospects/ Career option? She said if her result is good enough, she will apply to WWF. ( not the boxing WWF ok?) So, I will be having one enviromental-friendly friend. hoho. If you happen to see anyone abusing the animals, please do contact me, then I'll tell her. haha!
Hotline: N/A
Hotweb: my msn. lolx.
Anyway, Aza aza fighting to everyone who is either studying or working OR WAITING TO GO INTO VARSITY! ( that's me ok... lolx)
There's no 'me' and ' I' in this universe. If my eyes were taken out from my body, it's not me anymore. So, if you understand the law of universe, you won't be saying the word 'me' and 'I'. The same goes to our body. When we die, can we take our body together? Of course it's a no answer. What remains is the energy. According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed. What about the body? Of course, the body will start to decay. Nothing is permanent. So, that is why in this Saha world, we should not be attached to anything, because everything is not permanent.
Imagine a 80 year-old lady wearing a teenage shirt, will she look like a 20 year-old girl? NO! Sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch are all your illusions actually. It's the game of your own heart. Because you think it that way, it will present in that way. If you think that your leg is painful, it will become painful. You feel cold, then it's cold.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Initially, everything is empty. BUT because all the conditions are fullfiled, then form appears. Once the conditions are not fullfiled, it will become empty again.
So here goes again, do not attach to anything, because, NOTHING IS PERMANENT!
Did you actually notice anything? You do? Of course, I've changed the background of my blog! (Don't tell me now ya mouth is getting bigger that a housefly could enter into ya mouth! A 3-year old boy could see the difference in it, so why not you? If you really don't, then I don't know what and who are you.) lolx.
No doubt, the background is beautiful. Am very confident about it. Just changed it yesterday. The background was actually being introduced by my friend. She said the contents are interesting, but the background was dull. Initially, the background that I chose was given by the blogger web. So it was out of my choice, have to choose it though. Till yesterday, this friend of my gave me the template website. She asked me to choose a better one. So finally I chose this template ' night sky'.
See the difference in it? From a dull background to a beautiful,heavenly background. If you want a different background, you can go to this website. (http://www.btemplates.com/)
Don't be mistaken. It's David Archuleta's version, not Celine Dion's. I found out that the lyrics of this song are meaningful. Here it goes.
Sometimes I wondered, what I'd be when I grew up. And then I remembered, It was anything I dreamed of. I could be a poet or singer, I can be a scientist. But before I make that decision, Let's talk about my list. Let's talk about love, Let's talk about peace ,And livin' in perfect harmony. Let's talk about hugs, And talk about ways we can share. Let's talk about you ,Let's talk about me, Let's talk about How we can be one big family. Let's talk about love ,Let's talk about love. Sometimes, I feel like I want to give my friends a call, To tell them what I'm dreamin'. And everything I want. I want us to be a little closer ,And to always reach out a hand. To be kind to one another, And always understand. It's all about love. It's all about peace. And livin' in perfect harmony. It's all about hugs. It's all about ways That we can share It's all about you It's all about me It's all about How we can be one big family It's all about love La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la... Everybody has a heart Everybody has a smile Let's wrap a bow Around each one And give it away (And give it away!) Once a while....! (Let's talk about love) Let's talk about peace) (And livin' in perfect harmony) It's all about hugs And all about ways That we can share It's all about you It's all about me It's all about How we can be one big family It's all about love All about love It's all about hugs It's all about Ways that we can share It's all about you It's all about me Let's talk about How we can be one big family Let's talk about love Talk about love Let's talk about love! Ooooooohh! It's all about love.
So, please appreciate the love, the care that you have them now, or else, you will surely regret!!
P/s: The song is in my music playlist.
Today's 26th of June. Now the clock's showing 1:26pm. Sent message to my BFF. Will be departing at 2.15 pm. Asked him to study well and stay healthy.
Awwwww... Ok. Now I'm emoing. Oh, Avril Lavign, please be quiet a little, stop stressing on the ' When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you. When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too' . Emo + Emo songs = A big EMO!!
Take care of yourself ya, bud!!!
Today just got up from my bed, switched on my computer and went into the twitter website. Got a shock when I saw the first update from DA. He said:' Ah, I can't get over MJ. I know everyone's talking about it but he deserves the respect. I hope people will appreciate what he's done.' MJ died?? Huh??!! What a shocking news to me!!
What happened to MJ was he was suffering from cardiac arrest. Here's the update from Ryan Seacrest:' am hearing from a source at ucla medical center, michael jackson has died. I am checking other sources right now...cardiac arrest.'
From Jordin Sparks:' Lighting a candle for Michael Jackson at 10pm EST - please join. Spread the word.'
From Miley:' michael jackson was my inspiration. love and blessings.'
From this, you can see that many people are fans for MJ. They are their idol, inspiration. What we can do is to pray for him!!
RIP, MJ!!

Yesterday, IPTA results were being released. So, I wanted to check what did I get for the IPTA ( juz to be busybody) lol. I used my lappy to check it. But when I wanted to enter the website, it stated ' You Are Not Connected To The Internet' OR ' Diagnose Internet Problem' WHATEVER!! I was so mad at the internet connection for quite some time, cause sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's not ok. I had to restart the computer again, pulled out all the connections and then put it back again. The procedure was so boring ( orthodox I can say) haha!! But in the end it's still in this kind of stupid condition. Then, my sis called up the computer shop's worker and asked him to come over to have a look. Finally, he came. He said the modem was not very stable. So, he fixed another modem for us. Finished fixing, the internet connection for the dekstop could be used. What about my lappy? It stated there, ' limited connectivity'. GRHHHH......... haha!! Then, he went back and took another modem to my house. Ah, finally, my lappy could be connected to the internet.
Why did I say the line break down? This is because last week, my mother phoned to the streamyx fella. He said the line was being attacked by the virus. I was like oh my god!! ( Hiak hiak..... cunning smile) ( ;-) ) lol..
Anyway, congrats to those who got what they want in IPTA! For those who did not get, still, I feel sad for you all. There will be always a better road for you in the future! You must always remember, do not give up easily!
It's so dark here, why can't I see the light? Oh, I've forgotten to switch on the lights. (Few seconds later). OK, I'm back. lolx.
As usual, today is thursday, so it will be my badminton day. After coming back from badminton, I felt exhausted(not so serious till wanna go and have a nap). Of course, changing the msn status to 'busy' with the auto responder 'bathing' is a must-to-do thing for me. After bathing, EATING SESSION STARTS!!!!! (JUK JUK JUK JUK) ( The sound has been exaggerated by me!!). After eating, for sure, I will watch movie or get some rest. But this week, there are two unusual things I will do. First, MAFIA WARS!! lolx. I did not play it until my aunt asked me to join her team because she needed mafia members. Initially, I did not have the intention of playing it. But then, after she explained to me how to go about it, then I just TRY to play. (Attention: TRY). And I did TRY to play till now.( See the effect of internet games. So don't get too involved in it if you are still studying.) lolx.
While playing mafia wars, I opened another tab and went into the TWITTER website. For those who do not know what is twitter, you can try and go into the twitter website.( http://www.twitter.com/) The purpose of twitter is to update you with what your friends or idols or.....(whatever) are doing now or for the past few days. And you can reply them too.
That's all for today. And I hope those who are waiting for IPTA results will get what they want! Aza aza fighting!!!!
Erm?? erm.. drinking a cup of hor yan ho, sitting in front of the computer, listening to those soothing music such as Nella Fantasia by Russell Watson, The climb by Miley Cyrus and etc. The most soothing song still is 妙法莲华经观视音菩萨普门品( Translation: Lotus sutta, the universal door of Guan Yin Pu Sa). It's in the poet form, telling us about who is Guan Yin Pu Sa. Those who want this song, you can ask it from me.
Oh, now i'm listening to heartless by kris allen. How could you be so heartless, oh, how could you be so heartless.lolx. In this world, some people can be very heartless. But please do not hate them. No hatred in your heart. Be compassionate. Radiate out Metta( Loving kindness). Then, when you don't have any hatred, you will be very happy. Tell yourself these everyday. Today I'm happy. Today I'm very healthy. I love everyone regardless of races and religions.
Yeah, finally i've restringed my violin back and bought a new bow. I did not use the bow for a very long time and when I took the bow to the shop, the girl was so 'mesmerised' with my bow( all the fur came out) haha! For so long, I did not touch my violin. So when I played the violin that time, my hands were painful. Have to go through all the sufferings again by the way. But I'm sure that I will not give up anymore.

Finally, the audition day had come. At first, the hall was full of silence. They were so scared that nobody will come fo the audition. Afterthat, there was a lady who came for the audition. The lady was the girl's landlord and she knows how to play cello. But she did not play cello for a long time and she did not even bring the instrument to the audition. So, the girl and her senior could not accept her until she has the cello. Afterthat many people came for the audition. There were trumpet, violin, oboe and flute players. They were so relieved. How about the conductor? The girl had invited the world renowned orchestra maestro who is a perfectionist in his work, Maestro Kang Gun Woo. He is not an easy person to work with and is fear by all his players. They call him the orchestra killer, because when he thinks that this orchestra band is not proffesional enough, he can stop conducting in front of the president.
Initially, everybody was so angry and sad because of him. He could just say out all those words that would hurt a person. Then, something happened. Everybody found out that the young boy was a music genius. He could remember all those notes without refering to the music sheet notes. Furthermore, he knew how to conduct( but not as good as Maestro) cause he's a new learner. So, all the players in the orchestra band were trying to eliminate Maestro by choosing the young boy as the new conductor. Maestro did not say anything and just walked off. The next day, they were surprised because Maestro was still in the hall. They thought that he had gone back home. The piece they were playing that time was ' Nella Fantasia". So, Maestro conducted and he took them to a world which was very peaceful and serene. They played the music there. Afterthat, when they came back to senses, they knew that Maestro was a very good conductor. He had the ability to bring them to a higher level. They clapped their hands and suddenly Maestro said he's going home now( He wants to show off) haha!! They were very disappointed. Somehow, they managed to keep him in the orchestra band. ( The story goes on)
There are still a lot to tell, so for futher information and if you are interested, you can buy the movie and watch it yourself!!
After watching, I felt my hands were so itchy, cause i did not play my violin for a very long time( stop at standard 5 i think). So now I wanted to play back and have to restring my violin. Music has such a great influence to me since young. I love classical music very very much. Just love it!!
