Wooo~~ Who likes Hokkien songs?

Got too bored studying as usual, and once again YouTube saved the day. But this time I didn't know what song or video to look for. Suddenly recalled the long long long super duper long-running 意难忘 that my mother & grandmother watch every weekday evening. So I looked for two of the nicer songs that I personally like.

(Okay some must be laughing their heads off already, at me for being so 'uncle' listening to hokkien songs... I know it.......)

Exams almost coming to an end...

With 2 out of 3 papers already down within one extremely, crazily hectic week, I can finally heave a sigh of relief, well at least for one night.

Current Topics in Immunology on Tuesday (18th November) wasn't as easy as expected and I didn't have much confidence in alot of questions.

And with only one day in between to mug for Current Topics in Cell Biology, I totally went to bed with a strong feeling of unpreparedness, only to wakie at the next morning at 5am and get ready to leave the house for my 9am paper. And boy was I shocked to see Weibin msging me at 5 plus in the morning to remind me to wakie. Stunning can. That's how early lah.

Kinda suay I must say, because I expected to reach school earlier since I took a cab. BUT some smart alek from you-know-where decided that they wanted to do road re-alignment on CTE the night before and dragged on till the peak hours in the early morning. Bleddy hell, there shouldn't be such a jam at that hour, what more, the school holidays can. 4 lanes become 1 lane. Faints.

But then luckily, the paper wasn't as difficult as I had expected, fortunately. Haha, and thanks Chun Cheong for the lift to Jurong Point today. Without you, we would have had to wait and squeeze with the others for 179 man... and he has a sunroof in his car!! My first time in a car with a sunroof can, and so I was tempted to take a photo of it (^^).

*woo~~ sunroof*

Watched Madagascar 2 with Jiehui and Anthony after lunch at JP too. Not too bad a show. I was lost initially, but then the show got better and funnier towards the end.

Now I'm down with Systems Biology to mug for, and I have 7 days to prepare a module which I have understood almost nothing from the lectures, and lots of references to catch up on. I hope 7 days is enough :D Wish me luck man.

And one thing notable is that, I realise I can also study at home :) albeit not as effective as compared to studying in hall, but it isn't that bad (^^). Just that I suddenly had the urge to go watch Raijin-Oh, a childhood Japanese robot anime where you get to combine 3 different mini robots to form a big one. And I so happen to have that toy cos I bugged my aunt to buy it for me when the show was aired on TV in 1991 or 1992. :D And guess what, I couldn't resist taking it down from the top of my cupboard and play with it for a while :D (I haven't taken it down for at least a decade).

*Out from the box*

*鳳王, 剣王, 獣王*

*绝对无敌, 雷神王*

Muahaha, I should be shot for wasting time playing with toys seriously..... time for bed!

Overdue Entry #3

My pseudo-24th birthday (cos I'm only 8 acty) was quite erm.... exciting? Never ever have I had to spend the whole day thanking people for the birthday wishes, instead of studying. In fact, I didn't really have the mood to study on that day itself anyway. But I really did enjoying thanking everyone!! So once again.... here goes the list of thank yous:

Thanks alot to everyone for the flooding of my Facebook wall with birthday wishes, my friends and cousins from all over Singapore, to my cousin in Melbourne, and of course my Exchange neighbour from Belgium (^^).

Thanks alot to everyone who sent me their wishes through SMS too. And yes of course that lovely birthday cake with 8 candles too (^^).

Thanks Prakarsa for that phone call right after your paper, and also to Yuhui for the phone call greetings.

Thanks for the surprise celebration in October (see Overdue Entry #1) and for the macaroon :D.

Thank you to Shermain, Anthony, and Mariel for the lovely birthday cards - the really early one, the one-day-late one, and the one all the way from the UK. Appreciate it lots.

And finally thank you to my family for the wonderful dinner and blackforest cake :)

Overdue Entry #2 - Cam Whoring Day for SBS Year 4 Students

Finally, the dreadful day is here.... the very last day when we will all attend classes together as the 05/06 BS cohort ourselves. After this day, it will be the examinations, and then everyone would go their separate ways for their respective Final Year Projects, internally or externally. Kind of sad that some of us would not see each other till the day we submit our FYP thesis or even the day when we have our Poster Day, half a year later.

And so, we had our cam whoring day on this day, 7th November 2008, Friday. Pictures from here on =D I didn't really have time to go select photos, just roughly some of the nice ones that I've seen on Facebook (yes people, you shld all get Facebook for some who don't have it, it's gonna replace Blogs one of these days man).
