Un-stoppaaaable

This has to be one of the inspiring vid for me, and probably for most of the people out there. How a single individual can make such powerful change in the subtle summer atmosphere, it still puzzles me.. But hey, i guess he does have a lot of guts to swing his ass like that and he doesn't give a damn about it! You go man!

On the spot

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Well, according to the bf..it's a bit scary but quite true..*sweat*

ARLO

hello my little blog! i'm back!
well, it has been a horrrriigible april for me.
of the four yrs of undergraduate life in nus,
april 09 is the worst month..ever.
moments that gave me nightmares and tears.
and i don't even want to mention about it.
thank god for li ren, for waking me up and
kept reminding me to stay strong and positive
despite the fact that everything seems so bleak and uncertain in the future.

on the last day of thesis submission, i went back to lab
cleared my locker, packed my lab shoes, bid farewell to my lab mates.
i may or may not be back to this lab in the future,
but indeed i have learnt a whole lot of knowledge
and skills from here...and i'm thankful for that.

i bid farewell to pgp, moved into my new home in west coast place
with my new housemates and starting a new life.
yeah, a new chapter.
just came back from a tiring roadtrip to ipoh and penang.
i have been stuffing myself with hor funs and hk dramas
for the past few days..damn duo lo..

Here In My Home by Malaysian Artistes for Unity

OH there's a mispoken truth that lies...colors don't bind. =)

Malaysia, my heart will always be with you...no matter how bad the political nature is..as long as there's unity there's still hope.

it's april..and it could only mean one thing..
THESIS!!!!!
yikes. =S =S
crafting out a masterpiece is not that simple..i guess it really
takes a lot of guts, sweat, tears and some cells to do it.
you know..don't even know how much gene mutation have i accumulated
in the lab with all the toxic materials and irradiation. sheeh..
but anyways it's gonna end soon...hahaha. so let's hope it's going to be a good one.
=)

at this point of time...i need my retail therapy.
i'm sort of officially broke right now, cuz i've forked out 2 mths of
advance rental for the house that i'm gonna stay in the future..
PAPI i'm waiting for you!! btw..the house is really nice, landed and spacious!
well, although it's not as big as my own house in kt with nice sofas and plama tv...
but it is still big as compared to a hdb house. muahahaha.
and no lifts!! i'm scared of lifts!
esp those with a transparent door where you see in ghost movies
and at you see the person appearing at each level...
creeps me out!!
thank god the owner is super duper kind and generous..
so grateful of em =) we have a good bargain as well! so it's just perfect.
the housing estate...reminds me of kota besar =)
where each house has their own unique design..
but ours was the old fashion type..very 1970s..
still..it's going to be a good start!

back to work! i need to bring back in my form 6 power!!
gaarrghhh..why am i'm so mundane right now??
is it the age?
or is it the deprivation of home-cooked meals?
i'm like a skanky skeleton now. shit.
i want to go home to momo..and be the teen girl again..

ok back to work..=(

in less than 2 months, i will be concluding my final undergraduate
journey here..at NUS. yes, the National University of Singapore.
the prestige. the scary. the bitter. the bell-curved university.

i vividly remember my first day in nus open house.
about 4-5 years ago. i came with a group of secondary school mates,
including jimmy. i remember we visited pgp for the first time, cuz
jimmy cousin sis was staying at pgp, and had my first meal
in the pgp aircon canteen. i remember is the un-delicious beef noodle.
little did i know, the place called pgp became my last home in nus...
and in pgp, i definitely have a whole lot of memories..both happy and sad.
i remember meeting a bunch a girls who late became my ji muis..
i remember meeting a tall guy who allowed me to use his room as a vacation storage in yr2,
without paying any rent =)...and he later became the most important person in my life..
i remember celebrations after celebrations, the late night study, the supper, the little talks.
and so much more, that i will and promise to make a collage out of it.

above all the friendships...is the academic. of cuz, this is a uni i'm talking about.
yes, the tremendous academic workloads. the vigourous academic culture.
most of the time..it is always academic-linked..be it a cca or a community service.
initially, i tought well this is the university culture. i have to accept it.
work hard, get the results, and get out, i hate nus mentality crop up
until i went for an exchange...
i sort of re-discover myself. i feel so relaxed, so joyful and for the first time
i feel so peaceful. i would sit by my room window and stare at the beautiful los angeles.
and i know....God is great. the world is not as small as i see it is.
i can be whatever i want to be. if i choose to pursue it.
with kindness, with passion, and with honesty.
and i told myself, as i sat by the window...i'm extremely blessed to be in LA.
and it's all thanks to NUS, faculty of science for their generous sponsor,
or else it'll just be a nice little dream for me. and i'm truly grateful.
i know when i'm back, i'm a student with a different direction.
and no matter how hard the journey is, i'm going for it.

and then there's the one year long thesis. although i didn't get my
first choosen project in malaria,
i did get something un-expected. a supportive supervisor, who later became a good friend.
a bunch of crazy lab mates.. who loves buffet, bowling and k-box.
and i get to work with bsl-2 pathogen. and a bsl-3 in the future.
so i guess, it's quite true when they say when one door closes, another door will open.
it's only the matter of time when you land on the unexpected or the unwanted
and you could probably say this to yourself
"hey this is not that bad at all!" in the end

so life in nus has thought me one thing
the real world is going to be far more unpredictable.
because it's such an oyster out there with so many diff kinds of ppl.
you'll just have to hear, speak, and see no evil.
and it's going to be another transition. i hope nus has given me all the guts!

happy 24 to myself.

papi: "eh today ur burfday le. happy burfday ah. big girl already"
