*~Calm waters from the Ocean~*

no clue what happened to the blog..... i must have screwed up when i was playing with the template...... Oh hell..... Time to move........ http://www.dodgylife.blogspot.com

Went out with JQ last night cuz he has 2 more weeks before flying off to Tasmania, Australia to do his degree. He has changed quite abit I must say.... For the better that is. More tanned and definitely more buffed up. He had this really cool hip hop look to his frame too... oh yah, plus the funky bandana... heh Met him to pass him his gift I got from Edinburgh, show him my OIAP pics and also to just catch up on old times before he goes away. Reminising all the "strange" things we did when we were much younger... lolx

We first met at Marine parade area but after like 15mins we decided to go for a movie at Tampines mall. It's funny how decisive we r when it comes to impromptu ideas. Took a bus down to Tampines(This part was quite retarded cuz both of us(Both Singaporeans!!!) weren't too sure what bus to take but since the bus number looked familiar, we just took the chance and hopped on...lol) true enough, the bus went to where we wanted to go. The whole journey was quite entertaining cuz number 1, we were tryin to get a decent shot of us in his hp and number 2, we were both in the lame ass joke state. Got there at abt 8.40pm, caught the tix for the 9.30pm show "Stuck on you". It's quite a nice film. The ending wasn't what i expected it to be but it was sweet. Almost fell asleep near the end though... not becuz the show was boring but i guess i was alittle tired from the past few days....

After the movie, he sent me home. Since the last train already left and takin a cab was ex due to midnight charges, we decided to walk to my place instead. Haha..... come to think of it why did we not think abt taking the bus?! Haha Oh right, becuz we kindda made some sorta pact a few yrs back that we would walk from simei to my place 1 day. But since Tampines is only 1 stop away, we walked anway.... Mission accomplished in 2 hrs. :) went through Bedok Reservior area and remembered our cross country days. Obviously i was always under the fun walk section gossiping with the other girls and then going for milo after that...... whereas he was always under the competitor's section... Obvious leh!

I might be wrong, but there was this feeling. Although a positive feeling, u kindda know that a kind of risk was involved in startin that action. A special feeling nonetheless.

Why is it that we always know something when it's only too late?

I'll miss you JQ! *hugs* Remember me when r u back for ya summer vacations yah.

Went to Bugis with Andrew after sch today... yeah who would have thought i would have gone out with that crazy bugger.... lolx It's interesting how much u can learn abt a person when u actually sit down and do a 1 on 1 in depth chat(In this case, it was abit of an arguement but a peaceful one nonetheless... religion stuff) with the person. It's talks like these that i really enjoy. It's strange that somehow, he is not the same obnoxious(sorry if u r readin this but it's true...lolx In a cute way of cuz...If that helps) that i thought he was gonna be when i went out with him. should start doing this more often...... NO! Not go out with andrew!! *pengz* I mean get to know pple at a more in depth level.

Sweetie, no matter how many times we apologise to each other, sometimes we can't say anything but "it's ok" cuz what else is there to say? Sooner or later we r just gonna get so immuned to apologies that it will just be an expected routine. It has happened to me before. Pls dun make me go through it again with you. I'm not angry with you but it's just how i feel. This song reminds me of you.

Ruben Studdard Lyrics - Sorry 2004

(I'm sorry)
(I'm Sorry)

It's like I missed a shot,
It's like I dropped the ball.
(Damn I'm Sorry)
It's like I'm on stage,
and I forgot the words.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like building a new house,
with no roof and no doors.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like trying to propose,
and I ain't got the ring.
(Oooh damn I'm sorry)

But girl I've apologized
a million times before.
(I'll apologize a million more)
So here it comes again
for all the wrong I've done.
(so get ready babe)
Here's One million one.

[Chorus]
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

Its like stayin' out at night,
had way too much to drink.
(Damn, I'm sorry)
It's like you change your hair,
and I dont say a thing.
(Damn I'm sorry)
It's like we're fallin' fast asleep,
with no kiss, and before we hit.
(yeah I'm sorry)
And It's like I forgot your gift,
on 02 14 03.
(Yea. So sorry!)

But girl I've apologized
a million times before.
(I'll apologize a million more)
So here it comes again
for all the wrong I've done.
(so get ready babe)
Here's One million one.

[Chorus]
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
(I'm 'a take my time)
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

[Hook]
I'm sorry for the way that I did you
I'm sorry for the thought and how I hurt you girl
I'm sorry on the first day, sorry on the second day
sorry for the things I did, Sorry for the things i said
sorry for the lies
sorry for the time
That I didn't get you what you want,
That I didn't get you what you like.
What can I do to tell you that I'm sorry babe.
(sorry, sorry)

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhh! [echo]
Wooooooooh!
All them strip clubs,
all them hot tubs.
I'm gone give them up,
'cause I dont want to lose you now.

[Chorus]
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
And I aint gonna mess up no more, this year.
I'm 'a take this one chance,
and make it real clear.
I'm sorry for May
and I'm sorry for June (for real)
and I'm sorry for July (i am)
in case I dont tell you.
August, September, October, November 'till your December.
I'm Sorry.
(I'm sorry 2004)

[Starts Fading]
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
Sorry 2004
Girl this is my sorry for, 2004.
Sorry 2004

I want a Journal for me to do my writing.
I need a Watch for me to remember times.
I need a bracelet.

Please click if u wanna know what happened at Major Stupiak's place.

Have been staring at this blog post for half an hr and i've deleted what i wanted to write 4 times. Dun wanna blog abt happy stuff cuz my life isn't that dandy and i'll just be kiddin myself and whoever's reading. Dun wanna blog abt angry/sad things cuz i'll be hurting someone else. Dun wanna blog abt my personal thoughts anymore cuz i think it's just not anyone else's business to know. I dun wanna blog no more.....

"As one gets older, life gets more complex and with that complexity comes a cloud of mistrust."

So dumb! I cannot believe i cried during Staff and student day. Yeah i kindda got too carried away with my emotions and started to tear up while they were performing the song "No one else comes close". It's such a sweet sweet song... Aww...

Going to the dentist later to continue with my root canal thingy.... hate the dentist! I think they r the creepiest and and scariest pple ever to be born on this earth. *shudders*

********************

Got back from my dental appointment abt 2 hrs ago. Surprise suprise! It didn't hurt at all and i wasn't even anesthetised... Heh Did some washing of the root canal and did a couple of X-rays... Another 4 trips to the dentist and i'll be done. YAY!

Sux! Won't be seeing Gab till prolly next week... I only see him like once on average a week and mind u, we r both in Singapore and i've only been home 3 weeks now. It's not abt "something is better than nothing" attitute. I don't wanna meet him for an hr and then rush to leave after that. It doesn't make sense (At least to me it doesn't). Argh! I think i'm just a difficult, hard to please F***ed up gf with high expectations. Only time will tell how much of my nonsense he can take. I'm actually sorry for making his life a living hell.

Sigh...... I miss my Gab... *Leave me alone*

At the rate i'm going... i'll have alternate emotion blog entries everytime i write.

I have no idea why but my tounge kindda got twisted when i saw Gab yesterday(No pun intended!)... could not seem to speak properly initially... i seemed to be stuttering..... but it started to get better after awhile... Hmm

Went to Chinatown during the Chinese New Year period for the 1st time with Gab, Cherie and Justin. Wanted to eat the famous Chinatown Chicken claypot rice but the shop was already closed so we settled for claypot rice from a not so famous place. No worries, it was still good! :) Told Gab that i wanted to see Chinatown chinatown.... ie what chinatown is really like during CNY, so we went for a walk. It wasn't as crowded as i thought it to be, prolly becuz it was a tuesday nite. But i had alot of fun... amidst all the pple shoving each other outta way, the festive spirit does get to u. All the red and gold and cheena words that i don't understand all just seem to go very well with the eyes. Who ever said red was the colour of anger?... lolx And all the roadside stalls with their various goodies. Pineapple tarts, kueh bang kek(the white coconut cookie that melts in the mouth), love letters, wafer twirls, bah gua, chicken gua? and all the funny floss such as candy, pork, fish and God knows what else... *drools*

Walked past many stalls selling table runners and cushion covers and Gab bought for my family this 2 tone(gold and brown) chinese inspired table runner... Absolutely beautiful... complements my parent's peranakan styled dining room. Bought for myself 2 greenish cushion covers too. *GrinZ*

Just wanna give a shout out to my Gab that it was prolly one of the best dates we have ever had. Although i've been pissed by u countless times and have been gossiping abt u behind your back with the girls(Yes, i'm guilty...lolx) over many small trivial reasons, i guess i only realise until last night that i really love you... Aww..... The way u hold my hand, the way u look at me while waiting for me to settle my stuff especially when i have to search for my stupid phone or wallet from my gigantic bag...haha, the way u always say i'm nonsense/crazy/rubbish(which by the way i'm NOT!!!!...lolx), the way u always seem to text me 1st in the morning, the way u allow me to pinch your nose, the way u slide your arms ard me and look at me, the way u always have this "siam from Jas becuz i think she is gonna smack me" impromptu movement, the way u kiss me... sometimes so light that it kindda makes me crave for more, sometimes.... heheh U know. *GrinZ*, the way your face kindda twist up into "My gf's mental" expression when i speak martian and of cuz i just enjoy our conversations no matter how daft....lolx

I know it's abit delayed but it's prolly more menaingful to say it now.

Happy 5 months anniversary! *Hugs and Kisses*

The past 5 mths i would say have been almost hellish... *wipes sweat*

People i can depend on when i feel like shite........

Definately my family although sometimes they just make me feel worst cuz they talk too much(Too much reasoning)... much more than the brain can handle... lolx But it's still alot of fun... I can nv get angry with them for long no matter what. I can so seriously hate myself for that sometimes but now that i'm becoming more mature, i'm taking it as a positive trait on my side. My mum was in my room the other day telling me really crude bar jokes... lolx I love the Cinderella one... those who want to hear it can get it from me or Hushie.

My dear brother, Jeremy, who i can nv bring myself to beat the crap out of cuz he is just so darn forgivable and not to mention huge! Can be so seriously dead annoying especially when he wants to tell me something or show me something and i'm not paying attention cuz i'm doing something else more important. Gotta give him a distinction for being a persistent pest! hahahah why i like him is also he is so sweet to Cleo(Not his girlfriend but our cat!). Sensitive.

And of cuz "The League".... Can always count on them for advice... yah, considering that there's 11 of us, i get lots! Not all always constructive but useful nonetheless. *Sniggers* We have been through alot too i guess... all the food, sick jokes and tears(I think i have cried the most for various reasons... I just thought abt it today). Can always count on them to turn my frowns into smiles.

And how everyone must be wondering... why hasn't she mention "boyfriends". Well... Im not sure.

Proteomics and Hybridoma lecture was a "blast". Such a blast that made everyone wish that they were blasted along with it as well..... *not makin sense i know*

Went out with Hushie, LeRoy, Ryan and Ivy.

First stop, Liberty supermarket down at Tanglin Mall. Got my Cous cous, sun dried tomatoes and basil leaves... hope my dinner on sunday goes well. *hopes*

Had Crystal Jade's La Mian for dinner... tried the pork rib one.... not bad *yum*

Headed down to HMV to collect Hushie's dress. Saw a couple of pieces that i thought were really fab but unfortunately the price isn't on my side... heh Life of the poor. Wanted to get the Lemur CD but i could not find it at HMV... the guys made me play "catching" with them by going up and down the escalator... felt like such a retard but it was fun... not like i will do it again though... heh Then that stupid IIdddiiioooottt Leroy blast the music from the headphone so loud that u can prolly hear it from a mile away....lolx

Dang! Just lost my inspiration to type but the gist is that lah hor. Shite!!! there's a freaking lizard on the wall near me......... *runs*

Ack! I wanna go back to Edinburgh!!! Can't stand the heat and suddenly it feels strange to be back in Singapore. The thing i missed most while away from singapore was only my family and now that i've seen them, i wanna go "home"!!! I miss everyone and everything back there.... *Whines*

Gone are the days where gentlemen would open doors for me.

Gone are the day where the same gentlemen would let me into cabs 1st.

Gone are the days where people used to talk to u on trains and buses.

Gone are the days where i can see the same old people playing catch with their dogs in the mornings.

Gone are the days where people did not have to shove u ard to get what they want.

Gone are the days where men dun google at u in this strange way just becuz u have slightly bigger breasts compared to others.

Gone are the days of cheap drinks and clubbing.

Gone are the days of dancing with tall, dark(sometimes blonde) handsome strangers.


The only thing that has followed me back here in Singapore is a small part of the swearing culture. Fucking hell!!! (Very popular.... *sticks out tongue*)

Shite..... my stomach is churning!!! Needa crap! *runs to the bathroom*

2004 is finally here. It's nice to have a nice clean start. To beable to put things away and be given that 2nd chance to better yourself and of cuz, your life. To do things in a different manner and gain a different perspective on life. 2003 was a crazy yr for me but i learnt alot. Not gonna launch into a long dramatic story but i have found out alot of things abt myself n pple ard me. I guess i have picked up some tips along the way abt other pple that may not seem exactly as very important to them but is it to me. Cuz it shows the chacracter that u r. And becuz of all the goings on in 2003, i've grown closer to my family which is good. I've a very big supporter of New yr resolutions and i've kept to them no matter what for the past few yrs. This yr is no different. May the Lord guide me in the path i have choosen. It's not going to be easy but who ever said life was.

Hey pple... just a note to say that im in Singapore.

Just a bit of an e-mail i was readin..............

Have u ever thought of something so much that it just hurts your head?

Have u ever felt like u can just sod someone in the head becuz they r so darn selfish but u can't do it for respectful reasons?

Have u ever felt like bringing someone to the highest level of pleasure and just dumping them after u have achieved your goal?

Have u ever had the urge to scream just when the person is abt to hit the white ball during a game of pool?

Have u ever challenged yourself to how far u can go with the opposite sex?

Have u ever fell in love with 2 pple at the same time?

Have u ever fooled ard behind your partner's back and not feel guilty abt it?

Have u ever met up with the opposite sex just for a round of pleasure?

Have u ever?? Something to think abt....

"Everyone does it but nobody talks about it"

Last nite out before i leave. Went to KB for some drinks cuz some still people still had to go back to the lab to work, headed to "The Old Bell" after that for more drinks for the guys and for me to see Lindsay drunk one last time(Poor guy... his dog died.)... played "who can catch the most number of beer mats aslso known as coasters", headed to Esponaige (1 bar, 4 clubs, POWER!) cuz everyone wanted to shake some booty but ended up sitting down to chat... people got lost... tempers flared... long story but good one none the less, crashed at Liam's place till noon. In the lab now... packing my final stuff. Heading to London tonite, flying for paris tml. Flying back to london on Christmas eve. Flying home on the 27th of dec and will be home on the 28th!!!! Ciao pple... gotta go home, wash up and do some last min packing. :)

My time in Edinburgh has ended. I don't seem to be enthusiatic abt leaving as i expected myself to be. Guess it's always like that. Just as when u r abt to like something, it's taken away from you. Thinking abt this always brings me back to Switzerland. Just as u see some nice scenery, u hit into a bloody tunnel. *sigh*

So many memories in just 4 mths. So many things i have discovered abt myself. Some i'm proud of, some better not talked abt. But i guess it's all a learning experience ain't it? Turning 20 soon. Time to grow up.

Went to Liam's place for dinner last nite. Had pesto baked chicken toped with cheese and tomatoes and served with savoury cuscus(spell?). Absolutely divine! He made me a Christmas card. Talked to him quite abit as well. Discovered quite abit as well .... similar in some ways. Oh, showed me pics of he, Michael and Lindsay when they were kids and also their trip to Ibiza. Very batty! Liam is lookin better as he is aging and Linday is looking younger as he is aging. Michael to me looks the same.

Oh my goodness... deju vu!

Spent the whole of Sunday at home... Sleeping! I slept from 1.30pm to 5.30pm and then again from 8pm all the way to the next moring. Woke up only at 9am and i was late for work cuz i normally would wake up at 8am... BUt woke does for start till 10am anyway so i'm safe... haah

Getting a hangover isn't exactly the best feeling in the world. Had so much rum, beer and vodka that i almost thought that they had replaced water in this country.

Wanted to have a good weekend out since it was my last. Went to Lindsay and Liam for "help" on recommendations for good clubs. Told me that they have no idea what they were gonna do and what's gonna happen but they were gonna go out and they were gonna make my last weekend memorable. So met them at Lindsay's place. Went over to this pub called "The Junction" where we did a couple of drinks. Headed off to Mike's(Not the Swiss guy!!) place to celebrate his flatmate's, Louise's 25th bday... At first it felt kindda odd to be the only girls(Sab was with me)... asian girls there cuz all the guys there were from Shetland but after 10mins... everything went well. Pple started to pour into the house. Liam and Lindsay said we sounded more american than english. Reason they said that was becuz we told them in Singapore we studied Queen's english. Had more drinks there before heading to this club called "The Citrus Club" at abt 11+pm. Had even more drinks there.... 1st club i've been too that literally everyone single person in there was drunk. It was mad crazy... Liam wanted to pay Lindsay's gf and her fren 1p to see them do a lesbian snog.... the bid went up to 20p apparently but it didn't happen... hahaha. Left the club when it closed which was abt 3am... everyone went back to Mike's place. Had some more drinks there.... did not sleep till 6am. Ally and Neil were like judges of 'Pop Idol' when Mike was trying to get some decent music on his X-box. Kept sayin "next!" even before 3 secs of the song was played... lolx Saw the freakiest thing ever! Mike put out his fag with his tongue!!! All of us thought he was crazy! Crashed at Mike's place till noon before getting a cab home. Sab left at 10am cuz she went to church.(Judging from how she looked in the morning, the fact she could go to church and that she laughed at me on the phone when she woke me up in the middle of the afternoon during my sleep, i doubt she was drunk.) But before that Neil and Louise got up and they were struggling to walk while still in their sleeping bags... one was this bright green colour and the other was black... it was very funny to see 2 men shimmy across the room looking like fish. Extremely crazy!! Nv laughed so much in my life. Nv expected my weekend to turn out like this but it was DA BOMB! *Sings Bon Jovi's One Wild Night*

All hail UK, The land of the drunk!

My fav Christmas tunes:

1. Oh Holy night *Da Bomb*
2. Frosty the Snowman
3. Christmas Song - one that goes "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, jackfrost nipping at your nose...." *U get the idea*
4. Last Christmas

Hmm..... suddenly i seem to only know 4 Christmas tunes.... *laughs* Guess they really must be my favourites for me to only remember them.

Missed blogging abt my 4th mth anniversary cuz i was so pissed. But i guess i wasn't the only one who was... anyway. Everything is cleared up already... Another 2 more weeks before i get to go home for a lot of lovin. *Smiles*
Here r some pics from the last 2 weekends.... Enjoy!


Me, before my nite out at Medina


See the panic on my face


The dark patch u see on the left is me clinging to the wall.... lolx


Move away "Disney on Ice" cuz here comes "Jasmine on Ice"!! ... *truimph* Big thanx from skater guru, Sab who have been skating since she was 5 but managed to fall infront of the crowd anyway and injure her knee... *laughs*


Edinburgh's new artilery unit


When Manchester and Edinburgh unite as one.... in a box! *laughs*

Somebody save me!!!! My fingers r frozen stiff!! The temperature is just sinking i tell yer!!! I think it must be abt -1000 degrees here(I'm exaggerating of cuz it's maybe abt 4 degrees here at the moment)... It's freaking cold!!! Woke up this morning and went out... everything was white... not covered in snow but rather covered in frost! Snow is not that cold.. trust me! Frost sux!

Went ice skating on sat!!! It's an experience i tell u... i was clinging to the sides of the wall of the rink so much that u could just imagine me just being siamese twins with the wall. NO need to "long pia". I'm a born natural... haha It's damn freaking scary! It's so much worst than roller blading cuz the ice is so damn slippery. I simple refuse to let go of the sides of the wall to go to the middle of the rink unless someone was holding my hand... hahah Yes it was that bad for me and i fell 4 times!!!! Yes, 4 freaking times!!!! Faye was doing so much better than me and it was her 1st time too... *feels fo maluated*

After abit of shopping at the Royal Mile, headed home for dinner(This was when i burnt abit of my nd when i was taking the pizza ou t form the stupid oven). Decided to stay at home after that with Lyon, Faye and Zuoyi(Audrey came later) that nite... Wasn't prepared to pay £10 to go to a Jazz bar. Stayed home and watch this canto film on tv.. cool huh!! They actually show canto films here hor!! Was watching "In the mood for love" starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. Honestly it was the slowest moving movie i've every watch.. wanted to fall asleep but couldn't cuz i needed to know the ending of the story which was terribly crappy... the entire film was sooooooo arty farty that we had to keep asking each other what the hell was going on....

Oooh i found a new way of drinking milk. 3/4 glassful semi skimmed milk and 1/4 glassful Tia Lusso... mix it together and phoowar!!! Fantastically diluted alcohol milky beverage! POWER! *Grinz* Shit bangers!! I'm turning into an alcoholic... haha

*Yippe* Another 2 weeks left before OIAP/IAP ends!!! *More Yippees*

Had a very good weekend in Edinburgh. Sabrina and i went to the Edinburgh's Capital Christmas festival on Sat.. Saw the outdoor skate rink(yeah, the pple here kindda turned the garden into a skate rink) and we also went to the Traditional German market where we were being tempted by all the waffles and sausages...lolx Saw lots of crystal decro and candle holders. Did abit of souveneir shopping throughout the day.. the only downfall was that the weather was really awful... it was raining the whole day and so pretty much gloomy. All the shops were packed with pple shopping ard also i guess prolly sheltering from the rain... brought her to have chinese buffet dinner at Saigon Saigon too.

Met up with Lyon and gerard later and went home so the guys could have their dinner before Gerard, Sabrina and i set off to Medina to have some good clubbing. Heh..... Ordered Vodka Apple... expected it to be coming in a bottle form, like u know the normal alco-pop thing but turned out that she made me a glass and the vodka being poured in was like free loh... i think my drink contained more vodka than apple juice... but i guess it's more worth it for me lah.... hahaha Met Sabrina's frens namely Aryan, Collin and Jamie... was dancing with Jamie most of the time... prolly becuz he wasn't as tall as the other 2... hahah *smooth* The way he put his hand on his tummy and just swerved his hips in a latino fashion was so incredibly sexy... *drools* Reached home at abt 4am.... yeah, we all walked home and gerard was complaining and regretting that he did not get some girl's number... hahah

Woke up at 8am the next day.. spoke to Gab for a very long while before heading out to the Edinburgh castle. Since it was St. Andrews day, the castle was open for free. :) I hanged ard till abt 1pm before heading off to meet kirsten for my 1st pony trekking experience in the Pentland Hills... it was damn cool!! And yeah, i can get my pony to trot man!! But learing all the instructions quite stressful... so many things to remember and the trainer was reminding me most of the time to becareful cuz i'm dealing with an animal and they can be highly unpredictable... so have to give and take.

Seems strange but my blog today seems very child-like.... not me writin... Hmm........my inspiration to write has taken a vaction today i think... pardon my writin...

Blardy hell...... nv been so pooped out in my life. Spent the whole day calculating and re-calculating all my work and making and re-making my substrate mixes and buffers. And trying to find ways to cover up my mistakes so that i won't waste enzymes *Have no brain cells left* And all these are done based on 1 stupid journal from Brussels loh. Have another equally stupid journal from Vanesveala(Spell?) to do tml. T.G.I.F.!

I seriously hate calculation work!!! Just to find our how much aldolase(Units based on units per micro litre) to add to a 500 micro litre substrate mix so that i can get a final concentration of 0.9units per assay is blooming crap! And the best part is that the aldolase comes in powder form so i have to find out everything from scratch meaning i have to do all the weighing and diluting, etc..... GEK man!!!!!!! To top off all that, my sup just found out for me yesterday that the calculations of all Kd values for my inhibitor screening by fluoroscence was all wrong!!! Now have to re-do.... *sobs* Wah piangZ....... I spent 1 solid week doing that farking project leh... neow hyar(Spell? The word that neil always uses...)!!

Have a feeling that i'm gonna drown in assays next week..... *Somebody save this damsel in distress*

I need to destress..... need to play some no brainer games like "collapse" and "diamondmine"... *feels brain cells multiplying at the sound of the words "no brainer games"*

Anyway, here's a highlight. This is the first song to make me cry while i'm overseas...... Happened a few days ago i think...

You Make Me Feel Brand New
Babyface


My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me

My new look


Reckon it's noticeable?

**Belfast - North Ireland**


Lastest Advertisment for "United Colours of Benetton"


Explicits from "The Crown Saloon" - Had REAL Baileys Irish Cream there... Damn strong!


Hows a trip complete without a stupid pic of me. *Dummy pic*


Groupie at Troon


Sherwin's fantasy to be a Highland coo????


Sufferers of Sea sickness


Everyone needs abit of fresh sea air from time to time

I feel like i've been slapped... slapped by reality. Had this talk with my collegues down at the pub the other day and somehow they kindda made me realise how evil i have been. *shame on me*

Have not been able to sleep well the past few days becuz of it too.... *sigh* See what words can do to pple.

Well, i mean i do have a point there. What's done cannot be undone right so no point crying over spilt milk. And whatever happens, it's my own doing and so there is no point regretting whatever that has happened. Hard to understand? Doubt it...

Why should i be regretting whatever happened? It's not well.... entirely bad. This is in my opinion.... GOSH!! *GrinZ* At least i got the best apple from the basket... hahhaha

Ok, i'm not feeling so "homesick" now... i Guess it's just one of those days that pple have or maybe becuz i think i'm PMS-ing... the tell tale signs of cravings for chocolates and milk and also meat r just calling out to me..... *Eat us Jsmine! C'mon and take a bite*

Was preparing so much food for my dinner last nite due to my craving but of cuz i did not eat them all(i think the preparation wore me out).... prepared microwave Chicken tikka masala which i ate, ovened a beef and onion pie which i wanted to eat but decided later not to eat, had 2 digestive biscuits, a glass of milk, a bar of chocholate, some RitZ biscuits with dip, an apple and a glass of pineapple juice. I think i'm gonna be like Bridget Jones soon.... counting calories... hahah But nah... Jasmine cannot be bothered to do such a stupid thing like that... wasting my time.

Was watching "Rules of Engagement" with my landlord last nite on telly. Some army movie starring Tommy Lee jones and Samuel L Jackson. I'm starting to realise that i might turn out to be a sucker for War crap.. there's just something abt these kindda films that make one feel so humanly strong.. i have no idea how to describe that feeling but it just does. Maybe Neil would understand.... I hope.

See, the best thing to do after work, is to eat and relax infront with the telly and just talk when it's needed to. I like my "relationship" with my landlord.... And we both watch the same kindda shows.... heheh and He finds suspense movies annoying too... just like me... Lack of patience i guess... lolx

Doing something new in my project now... doing from fluoroscence thingy..... It's new and refreshing for me to be doing something different. Im still working ard a cuvette for heck that... hahhaha

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dream come true
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I've got love
I know I can make it
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me

Have been feeling miserable lately... completely not focusing on my work... Whatever i pipette or add into my cuvette, if i don't write it down, i forget it 5mins later....

Something's happening to me, but what?

Is it true that life is always complicated? If so, why?

Best things in life r free.....

Need the weekend, need sleep, need time alone.....

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Aww.... isn't that just the cutest song any girl can dedicate to her bf. I love u dearie!! *maucks* Everything i feel and wanna say at this very moment is in there. *Smiles* And I don't care if u don't like Tina Turner but this song is "Simply the Best"! *sniggers*

Was just listening to the song when it hit me that im so in love with my bf....It inspired me to write a poem but i kindda go stuck after the 1st line or rather the 1st 2 words. It went something like "You are" and my brain went dead...lolx All the words were too corny... better stick to dedicating songs that other talented pple have written. But fret i will not, i will take this as a challenge(Note to self: I will compose a decent poem before i die). *Confident look*

Spent last weekend in London. Hated it tremendously. I'm not gonna blog it out cuz this blog is only meant for "happy thoughts".... heh. Will stick up some pics once i can get my fat little fingers on some. Lolx....

*London*

These r the bits of London that i liked....


1 Retard with fat fingers on typical London bus


2 Retards outside the Les Miserable Theatre


The London Eye... just another dummy name for ferris wheel.... heh


There's suppose to be a good pic of Tower bridge in the background



Doing my Spectro now....... ARGH!!!! NO work is to be written on this blog!!! Happy thoughts!!! Happy thoughts!!!!!

Inverness + Loch Ness


Jasmine with Scottish highland coo


We sneaked into the castle in the middle oh the nite so we could get in for free... heehee


Us stealin water from the Loch... but before that they stole 2 bags of Falcon tubes from their lab.....Shhhhhh.....

I hope Gab doesn't kill me for putting his pic on my blog... lolx But that's not that main issue here anyway....The main thing is that he had another cute doggie!! Acky!!! *Taa daa* Gold Labrador from Thailand. Apparently, it got excited and almost choked itself on it's own leash and so needs time to recouperate away from Yew Tee camp.... It's so not fair!!! I want a dog too.... I wanna Bulldog actually!!!! *whines*


Acky is the cute lil fella on the left

Speaking of whining,Hehehe..... I think Gab can't stand it when i whine... say it makes his hair stand... hahaha Anyone care to 2nd that? *Giggles*

Why blogger keep changing it's style ah... so bloody annoying. My brain can't switch that fast anymore. *Need to replenish brain cells*

Here i am sitting beside the spectro changing stuff every 5 and 3mins... AGAIN! Remembered when Dr. Phang or Teo said that there's a chance we will be married to our lab partners, well, my future Husband's name would be Jasco V-550. He is a darling thing. With a fair complexion and sturdy exterior and a dark and mysterious interior.. hahah He can measure my absorbance anytime. My goodness!!!!!!!!!! I'm hella LAME!!! *Smacks herself silly*

Anyway, Just had a weekend in Bath, England as u can see from the post. Most pple r prolly wondering why the Edinburgh girls and Ayr boys r not stinging on cash. Truth is, we freaking are!!! Just that the not nice part r best left not known to the world. HAve an image to upkeep u know... ahha Seriously now, we eat very little during the week. Our groceries r those "reduce to clear" sorts and most of the time we are eating expired stuff.. some knowing and dun care still eat and some without knowin and some we just add lots of ketchup to kill the sourish taste. *laughs*.. but hey, we r still fine!! :) and travelling is basically settled for cuz our dear Audrey arranged Britrail for all of us. Yup, can travel 4 times to and fro to wherever we want in the UK and that includes Ireland. And within that day of travel itself, u can travel as much as u want. And travelling in Scotland itself is relatively cheap. Like it only cost a quid to to up to Glasgow. Take abt an hr to get there anyway.

Beginning to wonder what will happen to me if i really go overseas to study. 3 solid years. Either i mug very hard and scrap through my papers or i mug very hard and fail... hahah Quite frankly i dunno. Am i going outta control? Dun think so lah. Considering that i think i'm only drinking on a weekly basis when i meet up with my collegues at the uni bar... not only limit myself to 1 bottle. It's not addictive but it's just one of those chill out things to do. I should start switching to something more normal like coke. Bottomline is that i still can think rationally and do my IAP well. Just came out with a new protocol to check it things r running ok... dun play play ah!

I think i learn alot from OIAP. One of them being i take no shit from anyone just becuz i'm asian. I'm an equal to whoever u r. :)

Looking fwd to my trip to Inverness this week. Finally going to see the "must see" thing in Scotland. The Loch Ness!!!!!!!!!!!! *jumps ard like mad idiot* heh.. being dodgy here.... lalala

*Bath*


Me acting silly.... Anyway WELCOME to Bath the Spa City.... *Taadaa*


Thought it was very stupid to take a pic of me and a tree by myself so roped those 2 in...lolx I'm totally in love with the tree..... the yellow is just soooooo erm.... yellow!! *laughs*


Escargot.... This was my appetizer for dinner at this French place called "Pinch of Salt"


Red roasted Partridge with baby vegetables and mushroom sauce... My main course. :)


Us... outside the Abbey... just a fancy name for church.....lolx


Us.....Chillin out at Delfter Krug...It's a club in Bath. And im not drunk!!!! *GrinZ*


Our 1st home.... Outside some supermarket. *Cringes at the thought*


1st home too cold so this is our 2nd home... some carpark staircase!! *Cannot even cringe at the thought* This is just 1 of the nicer pics taken.... ahhaha


This was how the Romans used to bath back then in the Roman Baths.... Damn those Romans!!!!


Humans not allowed to go into algae infested spa water.. so just take pic ard the spa area... heheh

Shopping makes everyone happy eh...lolx


Yeah went to Glasgow to shop last weekend... Nothing much to say abt shopping i guess but we found this place called TK Maxx and everything in there is bloody cheap and not to mention sickeningly "luan." Grrr....

But ok lah... lots of stuff from Ralph Lauren, FCUK and Tommy Hillfiger... Guess it old stock or abit rejested stock that's why can sell so cheap... But it's a great place to shop. See the Nike Sweater i have on.. got it for only S$60... Cheap! Considering the material is thick and very soft and nice... heheh besides, i needed something with a hood to shelter me from the rain and pockets in the front so i can stuff my hands in to keep them toasty.

Lyon got this bright red wind cum rain breaker from Mambo at the same place for abt £50 which in our opinion is not too bad also lah... it's nice! :)

Oh yah, before i forget... *Big silly ass grin*

Happy 2nd month Anniversary, Love!!

Dunno to be happy or sad.... Been here for almost a month now. Time is passing very fast. Another 11 more weeks and i'll be home. So many things to do, so many things to see but so little time. Yah yah.. my weekends r spent going on "holiday" to the many different part of Scotland and soon to be UK.

Missing my darling bf so much... hehehe

Missing my family so much.. but somehow i doubt i'll ever miss all their nagging and stopping me from hanging out late and stuff.. la la la

Heard that my grandma's got bone cancer. Not getting much news abt it though. Guess my mum dun want me to worry.

Missing good food... think i'll be more appreciative of Singapore food when i get back no matter how sucky it is.surely can't be as bad as the food here.... sigh

Anyway, was just thinking.. in a relationship, is it good to be honest? Is being too honest healthy?

hehehe... Some pics from last weekend in Edinburgh. Jamie and Sherwin came down to join us as u can see. *GrinZ*



Royal Museum of Scotland... quite a cool place.. much better than S'pore's Museum... lolx
