Life is good! I am going to Taiwan in 22 days. Shucks I can't wait. Anyway I have been slacking around a lot recently and watching lotsa no-brainer idol dramas. Sigh you should never get Lenni started on it, coz once she start, she can't stop.
Oh gosh, I have yet to write and prepare my valediction. Wish me luck. (Although I rather not do it, but since I'm given the oppurtunity, better to do it to the best of my ability then.) MP symposium's over and Len didn't win. CSAS Award interview is also over but once again I doubt I made it. =( Kinda disappointed though but yeah Len picks herself up real fast so no big issues.
Yikes, I don't know what to write already. I am waiting earnestly for NTU and NUS reply. Don't even know when they will reply. Waiting kills! Waiting for NUS and NTU's reply, waiting for my Taiwan trip, waiting for graduation, waiting to go into university. In the pass I often complain incessantly about insufficient time, but when I have all the time in the world, I am practically rotting!
With this, Len's just gonna end of with a quote from meteor garden "a pair of good shoes can bring you to many wondrous place in the world". Yeah man, I agree, my esprit and nike shoes have brought me to many places, leaving me with both pleasant and unpleasant memories.

Yay!! Finally completed poly education. Managed to achieve the goal which I set out to achieve which is a cGPa of 3.5. This term I managed to get 4 Distinctions, 1A and 1 C+. If only I manage to get an A. Hopefully I can get my Diploma with merit. All in all things have been going well for me. My team won Palladium aka 2nd for the NUS Chemical Science Fair, which I must say is quite an achievement. Never expected that. =) So again for everything I would like to give credit to God.
As I am blogging now, I am waiting for my turn to be grilled for the MP symposium. My heart's thumping real fast. To me, winning or losing is not an issue, because to be able to get into this symposium is more then enough. Still I will give my best shot. So do pray for me ya... 5 more hours to go before it is my turn.
Alright, shall update another day.

Time flies, it's near the end of the year again and that means christmas is coming!! Len's just super lazy to blog. Woo Hoo!! I completed my MP, and I am still alive and kicking. There's so many things that I want to say but just don't know how to put it into words. It was indeed an experience I must say. =) Both pleasant and unpleasant. Just wanna thank God for everything he has done in my life. It is through times of hardship that I learn to really just trust and have faith in him. He never fails me. I must admit, it is really really difficult to thank God for the bad things that happen in life and to really just trust that everything will turn out fine in the end. Thanks so much for all the prayers. Wouldn't have got through my MP without all the prayers and encouragement. Hmm.. sometimes I wonder, how life will be like if I wasn't born into a christian family, I prolly wouldn't be who I am today. I must admit daddy and mummy really played an important role in nurturing me into someone who can place her trust in God. So thank God for them. Though I may not be someone great, someone with many strengths, someone who is brainy or some gorgeous babe, there's one thing I can proudly say is, I HAVE A GREAT GOD!! =) Sigh, heart's feeling kinda heavy now. So many things that I want to say, but just don't know how to, so the best thing I can do is to live everything up to God. =)

Alright, My blog feels dead! I've been away at Jurong Island for 4 weeks. Let's just say it's my honeymoon period. :) Well this post is specially dedicated to my popo. It's been a year since she passed on, and yeah we did away with the norm of celebrating mother's day with her. Time flies... I'm just feeling so vexed lately, don't know why... alright to all mothers out there, here's just wishing you a very happy mothers' day.

Urghh.... still got 1.5 more hours before I am done with the sonication... Oh my goodness gracious me! Is there anything entertaining that I can do on the net? If only there's a television in my lab!! Hahaha... alright I really don't know what to type already, shall go find other things to do. =<

Oh boy, time flies! Oh cliche... Sigh this is really bad, have yet to fulfill the requirements of my DRP and I am only left with 8 days to complete it before I go to Jurong Island for my month long training. Can there be such a thing called time bank where I can deposit my time and withdraw it later when I require the extra time? Anyway you know what, I am blogging while running my experiment. Cool huh? Multi-tasking is my forte.... Ya right... if that's the case I wouldn't be short of time. Oh I juz cut my hair and it's a disaster... But yeah spare me the agony of tying it... And goodness gracious me, I think my grammar and vocabulary is plunging as the years go by... I wonder if I can write a proper piece of essay now.... Maybe one day I shall come out with a fictional story and post it on my blog and you guys out there can be the teacher rating it yeah?
To end off, a quote from Thomas Edison that I feel applies to me right now,
"Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward"

It has been a tradition for me to blog about my results so i shall just continue this habit of mine. Alright I would say that this sem my result is the best among all the other sems.
Food Hygiene --B+ (Sigh spoil my straight distinction for CDS)
PSLP -- B+ (This was the only paper that I felt was the easiest but still can't make it an A)
Unit Operations 2 --B+ (Much better than what I expected)
Process Control & Instrumentation -- A (This came as a pleasant surprise because I did the main paper until I wanna cry ah!)
CSAS 3 -- Z (Third Distinction liao but nothing to rave about cause it's just 2 credit unit)
Industrial Chemical Processes -- Z (I think I do better in non-examinable subjects)
Well to all things I just wanna give credit to God.
On a lighter note, went out with a group of peeps to marina bay to have dinner and just have fun the other day. Hahaha it was fun man! Although I seriously suck at pool. At least I didn't send the balls flying like the first time I played. Play until 12 midnight and yeah really exactly 12. Haha Cinderella? Yikes, this post is getting boring, I am gonna fall asleep by reading thisss.....zzzZZZZZZZ

Lying in a corner of my bookshelf is this book entitled "flour babies". A book that I had not touched since I was 9 years old. Alright I could hardly recall what this book was about so I just started reading it and Yeah, it made me appreciate my daddy and mummy more. Alright I'm turning 19 soon, which means they would have tolerated all my nonsense for 599184000 seconds. It's amazing how much parents are willing to do for their kids. Thank you so much daddy and mummy! Thanks for treating me like a princess. Thanks for pampering me yet not spoiling me. Thanks for teaching me how to do household chores. Thanks for moulding me into who I am today. Thanks for letting me make my own decisions. Thanks for just being who you are. Well, I do admit there are times your incessant naggings do get me on my nerve but I know it's for my own good so thanks for that too. A million thanks for always being there for me. :) I feel so blessed! My blessings are just overflowing. => Until next time... God Bless You...

Oh my I am so excited, daddy and mummy are bringing me to triple 3 buffet restaurant at meritus mandarin. Haha oh gosh they have a chocolate fountain... *DROOLZ* Oh man sinful really sinful... haha but hey there's a journal that actually states that chocolates have 5 times more antioxidants than blueberries. Antioxidants reduces the risk of cancer and heart attack. Cool. Never underestimate the wonders of chocolate. Oh no, I'm turning 19 soon. This is bad, last year to see 1 big candle on my cake. Urgh... Getting older... Sigh... Haha alrite alrite. Shall go dream about my chocolate fountain... 12 more days.... in the meantime I shall go concentrate on getting my drp done properly.

PISCES WOMAN She likes to be in a dream world than to be inreality. She is weak and sensitive when it's come to"Love". She can cry if her best friend is breaking up,and she can be over excited when her friend gets a newboy friend who is a good looking and rich even it is nothing concerned her at all. You might be surprise to see that she is shy just because she is in love. Moreor less it will be in Pisces woman. She loves small animals and gifted in training animals. She has sixth senses and she can guess what will happen next, it's her nature. Even she has a good sixth senses, she can not pick or foreseen her ownchoice of lover. She can not tell if she meet a sincere guy or a one night stand guy. She likes to buy and pick her own cloths. She likes to dress cute and be cute. Pisces woman tend to be a good looking woman and she has a nice skin. Her hands and feet are small and soft. Pisces woman loves to shop for shoes as if she collects them. She is a hot lady that everyone wants her. Whether she has a man in her life or not , she will never try to over powered any man. It's not even in her thought. She thinks man can handle things better, and she will make her man feel that way. She is an easy going person, so being with her is easy. She is a confident woman and likes to make people who stay with her happy. She knows how to please and how to comfort a man. If something is wrong, she will try to make othe rpeople belief that it's must be because of someone else, not because of her love one. She will not push her man to be ambition but to make him feel like he should be happy with the way he is now. She is happywith you for what you are now. A Pisces woman , if she has a bad childhood, she wil lalway s remember it and it will make her a very unhappy person. She will pity herself and feel sorry forherself. She tends to hurt herself with out knowing it and so vulnerable to drugs (real drugs or justsleeping pills). She has many choices and you can never tell which path she going to take. If you love her , then hold her tight because she never knows why she did what she did or what she will do next. A complex character. You may think she is a shy innocent type and can not hurt anyone, then you are wrong. You might think she is a fragile person who needs protection, wrong again. She has been through alot, a tough cookie. She is a dreamer and love the word "Love", so she is the type who will buy gift for anyone for any occasion, especially if it is a gift for wedding or an anniversary even for someone who she does not know so well. Be very careful if fall in love with Pisces woman. She can be a total different person bef ore and after. She can be an angel before and later a witch, but everyone is not perfect, right? She will be soft and gentle most of the time, so not to worry. She is emotional and extremely sensitive when she frequently got hurt.She is the type who can cry her heart out. She can have a secret fear inside, when she says she does not need anyone. She badly needs someone to protect her, but sometimes she can hide that feeling by being stubborn. She likes to hide her shyness and her weakness from her enemy. She does not like to follow any fixed rules. She can be a good housewife if you know how to handle her. Many men will ask to marry her because she is a 100%woman. If she wants to be sweet, she is a real angel.

Ok this year chinese new year feels weird. It reminds me of popo. Just last year CNY we were playing mahjong together and this year she's gone home to be with the Lord. Though I'm not very close with my popo, I still kinda miss her. She's a really nice lady. She always say this to me everytime she sees me w/o fail "**ni yue da yue mei". I mean I don't see myself that way though but prolly that's how she feels about me. (ok hope I don't see people puking) Alright this post is specially for you popo, xin nian kuai le. ** is my chinese name so yeah to those who don't know, let's just keep it that way.

Alright it has been decades since I last update. Haven't gotten into the habit of blogging yet. CNY's quite good so far. Enjoyed the time I spent with my brother and sisters and of course my wonderful nieces and nephew. It's nice. Totally enjoy it. Haha hopefully I won't become a lobster because I am going swimming tomorrow. Ok a bit off topic. A tradition that seems to run in every family, cards and mahjong. Haha people don't want play with me cards liao... I got 4"2's" while playing Big2 twice out of the 8 games we played and I only lost once. :p Haha hope this carry on man.. Sigh, exams are around the corner... :'( This kinda dampens my mood. Oh and my favourite phrase for now is "If it's not documented, it's a rumour". Until next time, Happy New Year everyone. God Bless. :)

Oh got back all my results, shall I just say they are like rotten?
Let's just start with the worse, PSLP & UO2, 33/50, Food Hygiene 38/50, PCI, 40/50, CSAS3, 48/60 and ICP, 44.5/50. Oh man, Disney on Ice will be in Singapore from the 10th to the 19th March. Haha just in time for my birthday. Spent 2 birthdays there already and I smell a third coming... :) Well, just wanna end off with a quote from somewhere by someone who said it but I can't recall who, "Forgiveness is a great gift, yet it's cost is nothing". Yeah I couldn't agree more. Letting go of the past is never easy especially if that person(s) had done something really bad, but hey, it's always good to just forgive and forget. Easily said but at times, I do find forgiving a difficult task, but I shall try, and yeah to all out there that I am mad at(if any) you're forgiven.. ^_^

Though fifteen-year-old Shannon Miller won several silver medals in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, she returned home disappointed; she had not won a single gold medal. Four years later, however, at the age of nineteen, Shannon captured two gold medals in Atlanta for her effort in the team gymnastics competition and for her performance on the balance beam. A few days after her thrilling victory on the balance beam, she was asked by a television reporter how hard it had been to keep practicing and working in the years between the Olympics. Shannon shrugged in response to the question and answered that she loved gymnastics, and because she loved it so much, it hadn’t been torture to toil and train for the Olympics. The work that might have looked hard and unpleasant to someone else was not so hard for Shannon because of her love for the sport. It's kinda the same with obeying God’s commands. People who don't know God or His Son Jesus often look at the commands He has given to His people and think, "'Thou shalt not this' and 'Thou shalt not that!' There are too many 'Thou shalt nots!'" They may say, "I don’t see how you Christians can stand all the rules and stuff you have to obey. That’s too hard for me." Or they may say, "I could never keep all those commands." But such thoughts and statements show that they don’t really understand how the Christian life works. Like Shannon Miller, who trained hard because of her love for gymnastics, Christians obey God’s commands because of their love for God. God's commands are not burdensome to His children. It's not torture to obey Him. It's not even difficult for those who rely on the Holy Spirit's power, because the Spirit does all the work--we just have to trust Him moment by moment.
I couldn't agree more! To others my research project may seem crazy and really impossible, but to me, I enjoy every moment of it. Although I may complain at times, the love for it will never weigh me down. The same for my Christian walk, to others they might wonder whether I ever have something called temper, well I do but I must say my tolerance level is very high so the probability of me ever losing my temper is extremely low. Ok no link. My point is to obey someone you must first love the person, to do something well, you must first love what you are doing. ;)
Just wanna thank God for my results. Thanks for everything you have placed in my life.

LAST DAY OF THE YEAR!
This shall be the last post for the year. => Now now, I must say 2005 is/was a great year for me. Of course I wouldn't say it's smooth sailing with no setbacks but hey one should count their blessings right? Instead of me droning on and on about all the bad things that had happened, let me just let all those memories be washed away and just start the new year afresh. New year resolution or rather new year wishes. Ok I'm kinda greedy, I have many. 1. Daddy, mummy be in the pink of health, 2. Better results, 3. Successful experiments, 4. More pooh bears 5. Be less messy, 5. Being a better person, 6. Better analytical skills, 7. Lesser disasters across the world and yeah the most cliche one, world peace. Haha, of course there are many more but yeah these are the few that struck my mind. Yeah, and some things that I would seriously like to thank God for this year, good health, letting me be in my current drp project, helping me grow spiritually and just blessing me with so many wonderful people around me. :)

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. " John 3:16 A verse that I have known since I was like 4.... But the number of times that I ponder upon the true meaning behind the verse is definitely way less than 14. As I blog now, many different thoughts start surging into my mind. Isn't it wonderful that God as a father can sacrifice his beloved son just for out of true love for us? Now, many a times it feels so difficult to just part with something that we love/like. I seriously can't imagine one day without my handphone. I am so dependent on it. It's like my life feels so empty without it. The fear of not being contactable/contacting others overwhelms me. Even in church, the tendency is that I will silent my handphone but I will not off it. God can make such a big sacrifice out of love for mankind but just a small little sacrifice like this, I am already hesitant. Gosh! Is it just me?

i dread wednesday... apparently every wednesday seem to be such a busy day. ok i'm finally getting back my voice, for the past few days, it sounds so off... haha... alright i have 2 quiz tomorrow and gosh i haven't study!! haha nvm, late night again... nothing new... oh the community service was boring, didn't really enjoy it. really enjoyed those time when i went to ttsh to do cip. those were the days... oh anyway, so happy... haha... >_< anyway here's from my daily devotions book. You’re sitting in school, listening to your teacher talk. You’re listening, but you’re not understanding. It’s as if the teacher is speaking a foreign language. You feel like raising your hand and saying, “Could you please repeat that? I don’t understand a thing you’re saying.” But you don’t do that, of course. You’d never do that. You would sooner smear your hair with bacon grease and jump into the grizzly bear pit at the zoo. Because nobody wants to ask a silly question in school, right? Well, no matter how silly your question may be, it won’t be the silliest question ever asked. That honor would go to a politician (who else?) named Pilate, who lived nearly two thousand years ago. He stood in an elaborate palace, dressed in regal clothes, and asked, “What is truth?” “What’s so silly about that question?” you might ask. Just this: at that very moment, the answer to his question was standing right in front of him! It would have been like walking into class on the first day of school, watching your new teacher write her name on the chalkboard, and then asking her, “What’s your name?” Because, you see, the prisoner who stood before Pilate was Jesus Christ, who said of himself, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6, NLT). When Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Jesus could have answered, “he’s standing right in front of you.” You see, we generally think of truth as a concept or “idea.” It exists in our minds as a principle, or a quality. But truth isn’t just an idea. It is a person, and that person has a name: Jesus Christ. That’s why the only way to really understand truth and apply it to your life is by having a real, live relationship with Jesus Christ . . . because he is the truth! He doesn’t just speak the truth. He doesn’t just know the truth. He is the truth! That means that if you have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation, you have not only become acquainted with truth; you have the Truth himself living inside you! So you see, making right choices isn’t really about following a bunch of rules. It’s a relationship . . . a relationship with the truth himself. And the closer you get to him, the more he--through his Holy Spirit--will help you learn the truth, know the truth, and live the truth. AMEN!!

Thought I shall just do a quick update. Well well, I have absolutely no idea what I want to blog. But yeah, I am so tired! Hey guess what time I slept last night? Hahaha bet you won't be able to guess. *Drum rolls* I slept at 7am and I woke up at 9.45am. Alright here's a lame joke. On one occasion all the famous scientists decide to meet up with one anoother, so they discussed about all the different scientific laws that they have invented. There came a point when everyone got bored so Einstein suggested that they play hide and seek. Scientist being a little eccentric thought, why not. So Einstein was the seeker and he was suppose to count to 100 before looking for the rest of the scientists. All of the scientist except Newton went to hide. Newton merely used a pen and drew a 1 metre square and stood inside there. "96,97,98,99,100" and Einstein shouted "Newton's out of the game". All of the scientist came out of hiding and came to see, but Newton said, "I can prove that I am not out of the game". So all the scientist puzzled ask why. Newton said, "see, i am in a square which means I am Newton per metre square, which is also known as Pascal, that's why Pascal's out of the game". Ok lame, but hey interesting right? Alright alright that's about all for now, will update soon.

Haha, but hopefully I'll still receive prezzies. => Now i seriously dread wednesdays. Seems like every wednesday I'll have a test. Urghh... although all the tests went quite well so far, tutorial quiz, lecture quiz, those that i have gotten back nothing below 80%, but these tests are really draining my energy. somehow, i just feel so vulnerable. i just have this fear in me, a fear that just doesn't seem to go away. the one consolation that i get is through prayers, just lifting all this burdens up to my father in heaven. alright shall just stop here for now.

Long day at school... *tired* thought i shall just share a story which i read in my daily devotions book. Kind of interesting. Well, here's how the story goes.
The following story is told about Abraham Lincoln when he was a young man, before he became known as “Honest Abe.” Abe was working in a store as a clerk. One day a woman came in and bought a few items. Abe jotted down the woman's charges on a scrap of paper, totaled them for her, and then accepted her payment. After she had left the store, though, Abe started wondering whether he had accurately added up the woman's purchases. When he added the numbers again, he found out he had charged her too much. It was only a few cents, but Abe felt bad about his mistake. So, at the end of the day, after closing the store, Abe walked the distance (somewhere between two and three miles) to the woman's house to return the money he had overcharged her. Another time, he had weighed a half-pound of tea for a woman, only to discover the next day that there had been an extra four-ounce weight on the scale. He had given her less than a half-pound. As he had done with the few cents, Abe corrected the error by weighing out the missing quantity and delivering it to the woman. It’s not hard to imagine how Lincoln came to be called "Honest Abe." After all, in those two instances (and in many others) he went to a lot of trouble to make sure he didn't cheat anyone and didn't take anything that belonged to him. He didn't try to excuse his mistakes. He didn't try to shrug them off, saying, "Ah, I didn't mean to overcharge the lady." He didn't try to say that taking that extra money would be okay. Instead, he made sure that his behavior was as honest as he could make it. That's exactly how God wants us to act, too. He doesn't want us to excuse dishonesty or shrug it off. He doesn’t want us to say, "Well, in my case it wouldn’t be dishonest," or "in this case it wouldn’t be so bad." No, he wants us to remember that he has already told us what is right and what is wrong. . . and he has made it clear that honesty is right, and dishonesty is wrong. Now for my reflections, is dishonesty part and parcel of being human? Is white lie considered being dishonest? I don't know. Think about this, if being honest would hurt someone, is it better to be dishonest? Urgh... this is so complex! Alright that's all for today, my energy's kinda drained away already. Well, just a few things to thank God for. Thanks for giving me the strength to go through such a hectic day, thanks for seeing me through my icp quiz(although i feel it's a disaster) and last but not least thanks for guiding me though my meeting skills test. All I want to say is a gazillion thanks for always being there for me. I believe, just walk each day with a step of faith and all will be well and good. It's through trials and tribulations that make me a stronger person in Christ.

wow had been a long time since i last update. think my entry frequency is like once a month... breakfast the other day was great! brought back lotsa nice memory... how about another breakfast session before felix goes for his "holidays at tekong"? Oh school is great! Well except for the homework and stuff. But I enjoy doing projects. It's fun! Haha. Just had a talk on community service yesterday and yeah it brought back memories of the time i went to thailand. it's amazing how i could recall every single moment of it, it's just like a movie playing back in my head. something that's etch strongly in my memory was the visit to the delinquents home. it was scary! i mean they are well behaved and stuff but somehow the gals felt as though we were "eye-raped". overall, i do miss those times i spent there. if only my school holidays are during the official school holidays, i would have gone for more mission trips. every trip is a different experience even if it is to the same place. it's good to serve others. it's exhilirating to see the joy u are able to bring to the people around. alright shall end here. =>

Just back 2 days ago. Had quite a lot of fun there. I mean who wouldn't right? Haha the weather was fabulous, simply love it there. If only Singapore's weather was like that. Went to victoria peak on the first day and WOW! the view was magnificent. I also visited a few places of interest like repulse bay, aberdeen and golden bauhinia square on the second day. Other then the scenary, nothing much to rave about. Disneyland!! I was there on the 3rd day. Not much rides but yeah, the things they sold in the shop were intriguing. Disneyland made me feel like a kid all over again. One thing that made me feel out of the world was the fireworks at the end of the day. It was superb!! It's so fantastic that it's beyond description, you must see it for yourself in order to understand what i mean. Other then that, Hong Kong feels very much like Singapore except that I feel that food in Singapore taste a lot better. School starts tomorrow. :'(
That's me and my FAVOURITE bear!!

Thought I shall just do a quick update on the past few weeks. As usual, I was busy with my research stuff. It was wonderful, I am totally immensed in it. I feel kind of empty now that the whole of next week I won't be able to do any lab work. Of course I want to go to disneyland and have fun and stuff but somehow, my heart is also with my drp. Although due to my drp, it has resulted in some unpleasant events, I still want to carry on with it. But once the holidays end, I won't be able to do much. :( kind of sad... well i will be back on friday... so until then i will upload some pictures and my trip.

Here I am, thought I would like to share another story with all of you who read my blog. Two Hitchhikers met on the on-ramp to a major expresswa. "Where ya headed?" the first hitchhiker asked. "Chicago," the second answered. "Whaddya know? That's where I am headed , too." "Well isn't that fine!" said his companion. "Which way is it?" The first hitchhiker pointed to a green-and-white highway sign that loomed over their heads. "That sign says Chicago's that-a-way." He pointed towards the northbound lanes of the expressway. The second hitchhiker looked at the sign and nodded. "It sure does," he said. He studied the other hitchhiker's face. "But I'm still wondering. Maybe it's that way," he said, pointing to the southbound lanes of the expressway. The two watched the traffic flowing south for a few moments. Then the second hitchhiker shrugged and hitched his baggy pants a little higher on his hips. "Sometimes it's just hard to now for sure ain't it?" And he and his companion sauntered down the ramp toward the traffic that was heading South... away from Chicago. That's pretty dumb ain't it? Theystood right under a sign showing them the right way, and they still acted as if they didn't know which was right. Well what's my point? See many a times, we know that our thinking is wrong but because of pride we refuse to admit our mistakes and end up going the wrong way. I must admit, I too am guilty of this. Alright shall just end here, will update once I have some nice stories to share. I don't want to make my blog just a complaining place or rather all about work. Alright guys, I will be keeping all of you going through examinations in prayer.

I went to watch corpse bride today. Not really worth watching as the show only lasted 1 hour 15 minutes and the storyline's quite disappointing. I feel 8 days over-rated this movie. But all in all, the graphics are excellent. I can't wait for Deuce Bigalow to be out, saw the trailer, looks really funny. Not forgetting, there's one movie that I won't miss, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Hopefully it won't be as much of a disappointment as the previous movie. Anyway, I'll be getting my playstation portable next week. Can't wait! Alright shall end here. :)

I am so addicted to blogging! This is such a miracle, I actually managed to update my blog for 3 successive days. What's going on with me? I am going to school everyday for my research project and yet I am NOT complaining. It's exhilirating. I'm learning more and more about cells. I came across this folktale in my daily devotion book and I thought I might like to share it here. Ever wondered why the thumb stands apart from the other four fingers on the human hand? Well, here's how it goes,
One day the five fingers were lying on a table together, when they noticed a fine gold ring across the table. "Hey," one of the fingers said, "Let's take it!". "Yeah," said the ring finger, "that would surely look good on me." They started to reach for the ring when the thumb protested. "Wait a minute, you can't do that," the thumb said. "Why not?" the fingers shouted, almost in unison. "Because it would be wrong." "Oh come on," said one of the fingers. "No one will see us." "It would be stealing," insisted the thumb. "You are nothing but a goody-goody," said the index finger. "Yeah you are a party pooper!" added another finger. "Yeah, if you're going to be that way," added the little finger, "you can't be a part of our group!' "Right!" said the other fingers. "Go away! We don't need you anymore." So the four fingers went off in their own little group and left the thumb standing alone. They thought he would give in and join them in what they wanted to do, but to this day the thumb has stood alone and refused to do what was wrong. The message I'm trying to bring across is that, many a times we know doing a certain thing is wrong but we still succumb to peer pressure. Is it human nature? We are living in such a perplex world. I myself can't seem to be like the thumb but I shall try. Alright, shall end here for the day.

"I am always with you, Lord; you hold me by my right hand". In some way or another, this verse seem to prick my heart. Can I strongly say that I allow my father in heaven to always hold me by my right hand? Needless to say, my answer is No. A strong sense of guilt just overwhelms me. He's always there for me, but do I always place him first in everything in my life? No again. I try my best but there are times when the devil in me will always tell me, 'it's alright, Jesus forgives'. What a magnanimous God I have. This post is especially dedicated to my father in heaven, this is my solemn promise that I'll try my very best to let you hold me by my right hand at all times and not lose the grip and slip away. I shall walk through my journey of life, with you being my guiding star, leading me through good times, times of needs and I shall just cherish this special moment I have with you. :)
It's through obstacles that we learn to be a stronger person, so I thank God for all the obstacles in my life. It's never easy to thank anyone for bad things that happen in your life but I shall now, because it's through this that strenghthens me.

I never knew cells were this fragile. I killed all my cells. :( It's fun culturing cells but the protocol must really be followed and not only that everything has to be done in a sterile environment which means if things that are used are not sterilized and that includes my hands, there woul be a risk of contamination and the cells will die. That was how my cells died. :'( But it was my first try afterall. (just to console myself) It was growing well the first day but after I changed the medium for the cells, I think I introduced some form of contamination and thus wiping out all the living cells. Oh and I just found out that the cells that I am growing belongs to a 14weeks old male caucasian foetus that was aborted in 1966. I am really curious how cells that are nearly 40 years old can still be cultured. But then again it seems rather cruel to do that. Well, I don't know. Oh gosh, I'm presenting to the BOSS and those presentation lecturers on thursday (keeps finger cross) for some competition rehearsal. This is making me have butterflies in my tummy. Oh gosh I would really need to storm heaven with prayer in order to go through those peeps and guess what, I haven't memorize my speech. Shall end here today and try to memorize my speech.

Life has been wonderful recently. Although it's my holidays now, I'm still going back to school everyday but it's nice, because I'm having fun doing my current research project which is on nanoparticles. I'm currently learning how to culture cells. I got back my results yesterday, quite satisfied with it, 2 distinctions, 1A, 1B+,1B and 1C+, haha one of each grade. Well, a GPA of 3.35 is good enough for me but I'll strive to make it at least a 3.5. haha ambitious me. Well, I'm so hook on the Xi Yuan Lu (Witness to a Prosecution) show, so interesting to see how people in the past make use of simple stuff to perform autopsies. Haha I'm so laggy, such an old show but now then I watch. Alright that's all for now, gonna continue watching my Xi Yuan Lu, so exciting!!

Oh no, tomorrow I have a test and here I am blogging. Nothing much happened today but I just wanted to take a break from schoolwork so here I am blogging. Changed my blog layout because I got kind of bored with the old one and partially because I wanted a Winnie the Pooh background. Oh my, I am super obsessed with the orange creature. Just a short update on my day, I had laboratory today and we analyzed the caffeine content in coke and guess what, it's relatively high. Coke contains 93.7mg/L of caffeine which is away from coffee by only a little which is approximately 120 to 130mg/L depending on the type of coffee. Alright shall stop here for now. I will continue blogging tomorrow. God, I need your help in my preparation for tomorrow's quiz. Thanks for being such an important part of my life.

Well, just thought i'll update my blog, or rather give me a place to express my thoughts and feelings. It's weird how people choose to blog when they are busy and not blog when they are free. Exams are starting next week and here I am lying on my bed blogging. Haven't been in the pink of health lately, due to stress I would say... School's getting really taxing. Something seem to be really wrong with the education system in Singapore. It just crossed my mind that working life seems to be more relaxed then studying life. Apparently, my schoolwork takes up like >12 hours of my time, leaving me no free time for leisure. I think I am really becoming a panda.
Lets just drift away from the topic on school. Just the other day when I was at the food court I saw something extremely disgusting. I was at the dessert stall queuing up to buy ice kachang and there was this mother and daughter (approximately 10 years old) in front of me. The girl sneezed right into the tray without covering her nose and her mucus landed on the stack of tray in front and guess what, she just ignored it and acted as though nothing happened and her mother didn't even say anything. If you thing that's bad, hear this. She just cleaned her hands which she used to wipe her nose on the counter. Gosh is this what her parents thought her or is it the schools? How can people be so uncivilised? It was such a turn off that I simply walked out of the queue. Inconsiderate people.
*ShoutOuts*
To all my JC friends, I wanna wish you all the best for your 'A'Levels and I'll be here to cheer you guys on.
To Seamus, Happy Birthday.
Well anyway, I doubt anyone reads this blog since it's so dead for months. Anyway time to get back to my work.

Thought I should update my blog after so long. Exams are over and it went relatively well. Oh no, results are going to be out on the 9th of April. *keep fingers crossed* So my life is just revolving around my new house reno stuff. Think I'm driving the reno contracter crazy. still can't decide what i want and he has to finalise the stuff soon. the reno guy is quite nice though, every time i ask him to change this and that he does it very promptly whereas the first reno company we approached was a disaster. took them so long to give us the quotations and designs. *shakes head* my room is really nice, it has the best view in the whole house i must say. hall, got blocked by the neighbouring 40-storey block. my study room can only see the city area(lotsa buildings) my room can see macritchie reservoir and the city area. my parents room can oni see macritchie reservoir. hahaha so i got the best room afterall. :)
Must really give credit to my father in heaven for giving me strength to live each day =>

Well, I went to watch the disney on ice show and it's FABULOUS. I really must compliment the people at disney. They made a lot of improvement in terms of sound system and seats as compared to last year's disney on ice. As for the performance, I think Ariel and her prince charming can really coordinate well. Excellent props and background. Overall, I'll give them a 11/10 for the show. They started on time and yeah everything was super nice. Really enjoyed it. I bought the disney on ice princess cup to add to my collection from last year's beauty and the beast disney on ice cup. Had 2 cakes and yeah a rather memorable birthday except for the fact that i was studying half the day. I got a skate scooter. Haha now I'm learning how to skate with it.
Today's test went quite well. Hopefully i can get my "A" for human health and diseases. Ok time for me to study for my other papers next week. Shall blog more after 24th March coz by then i'm done being a freshie and gonna promote to the 'rank' of junior. Can't wait for exams to be over.

Well, Kind off getting bored with my disney princess so changed my blog layout. This look a little better to me. Got back my marks for my formal presentation. I got 21/25 and 16.5/20 for lab report on recrystallization. :) I am super happy. I smell my first distinction. :) Weekends are coming but not really looking forward to it. Having test on the 14th. If i screw up, means no more 'A' for me. I've been skipping lots of lecture so don't really know anything about those few topics. :( Well think I should end here and go study. Oh and not forgetting to thank God for giving me such a nice teacher. I got 17.5/19 for thermodynamics because the teacher chose to mark the question which I did although he asked us not to do that question as some people were so smart to say that the steam quality is above 1 when it actually ain't. Well sounds a little complicating but ya thanks alot God.

Hello everyone, today's a good day. Got back my maths paper and I got full marks. :) Haha most people got 60% only because no one believed me that the z-table should be used. Well it was a test on statistics - hypothesis testing. Got back my organic chemistry test too and i got 20/25. Got verbally "beaten" up by my friends coz i told them that i will fail this paper. This is so contradicting coz i expected to fail this test because i totally have no idea what michael addition reaction is all about, but i was smart enough to give the by-products and that earned me 2 marks. Sad, my exam for my elective is on the 14th of march. Next week is suppose to be study week cum holiday but guess what the nice lecturers told us? "attendance will be taken and if anyone is absent for it you will receive a warning letter and if you need a mark more to the next grade, we will not help you". So they are just literally forcing us to go back for lecture. Contradicting really contradicting. "it's alright if you don't go because the things that i am going through is just revision and not important." But then again, happy with my grades so far. Hope can be in the top 25% again. *keep fingers crossed* A bit holy but yeah, God has really been gracious to me in many ways. It's just too many for me to keep track of. Well thanks again God. :)

Back to blogging again. Well here's a little update on the past 2 weeks. Had been rushing out all my projects and *PHEW* managed to submit everything before dateline. :) This is my last week of being a freshie. *YEAH* My formal presentation went well. Thanks Felix for your advice. The teacher was really satisfied with my powerpoint. Well all in all I think I did relatively well for my presentation. 2 more weeks to my final exam. Looking forward to it. Gonna collect the keys to my new place soon. Wonder if i'll get height fright. 37 floors. My sister's place 22nd floor I look down and tell myself, "wow a long way down". 37 floor..... Not really looking towards it coz I'm kinda lazy to pack my stuff. Well once again must thank God for the perfect timing coz at least i get to shift during my holidays.

Life has been really stressful the whole of the CNY week and last week. Been busy with so many assignments. Really juggling between quizes, assignments, tutorials and presentations. Well, actually, I currently have 3'A's, 2'B+'s and a 'B'. Quite satisfied with my results though. :) Oh man next week is gonna be an even more stressful week. 3 quizes and dateline for my assignment which I haven't even done. :'(
Went to Mr Amos house today. Went to "bai nian" with a few of my classmates. Really had a nice time. brought back lotsa nice memories we had together.
Haha it really is such a coincidence. Went to have my dinner at the hawker center and guess what, i met mr amos and his wife there, then when i went to the atm, met him and his wife there too. What an interesting day.

It's been such a long long time since I last blogged. I was so busy doing my oc project, pipc project, human health project, csas project, am project and I still am busy doing it.Well, got back nearly all my term test results. I am SUPER happy yet angry. I'm happy because, all of my modules I got B and above and 2 'A's so far. Haha. Angry becuase, I lost marks because Lenni was lazy! Either I don't show working or I skip steps. That explains my 'B's. :( But then again, must thank God for helping me get such wonderful marks. Thanks for always being there for me especially last week and this whole week. Nearly everyday I'm tied up with work. Without God being there for me, I think I would already have suffered a mental breakdown. I hardly watch TV nowadays. This is so unlike me! For my future, I just have to make all this small sacrifices. The difference between a top student and a bottom student is time management. I'm really trying hard to manage my time well but to no avail. All work and no play makes Lenni a dull person. I agree I am beginning to be such a boring person. Oh gosh. I shall end here and carry on with my work.

I can hardly believe this. I am so hardworking. I spent 3 days++ doing my OC2 project, and I really mean 3 days! Even when I'm out shopping, I'm at a bookstore. Doing what? Looking through tons and tons of organic chemistry books. I was at kinokuniya looking through all the range of books on organic chemistry. What they have there is so much more than what the libraries have. If I had known I wouldn't have bothered going to the library. Furthermore no one bothers what you do there. The only thing is you can't bring the book home unless you buy it. But who needs to purchase it when technology is so advanced? All i need to do is to make use of my camara phone and snap a picture of the page I want. :) If they know it they'll probably kick me out of their bookstore. It's quite satisfying to see something come out from nothing. So that makes me happy. :) Thanks so much for helping me find all the resources that I need God. Thanks for being my guiding star, never leaving me alone. Thanks for always lending a listening ear whenever I needed to voice my thoughts, and a thousand, million, infinity more thanks for being my God. :)

Today, I went on a shopping spree. I bought a jeans and a denim skirt from BUM. I also bought 2 tops, a white one and a cyan one. Well this is to pamper myself after spending about 2 hours on my lab report. First time in history I actually bothered to do it properly. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I have to attend a maths workshop. :( It's from 8am to 5pm. Sounds really "fun" right? But then again, life ain't just about having fun so I shall just take it as it come and not complain. After all, God has been really good to me. :) Actually, I don't know how my life would be if I didn't know him. Perhaps I wouldn't be so happy, perhaps perhaps perhaps. This semester I am going to annihilate all the C+. *Lenni takes a grenade and aims it at them**KABOOM* Good, they're gone. Now all I have to do is really study hard and not just give up when I don't know. God has given me more than I ask for so it's time I return back to him. He gave me a good brain and if I'm just going to let it rot, won't I be a disappointment to him. There are people out there who are intellectually disabled yet they still try to learn yet here I am, just giving up so easily when I can't solve a problem. I must really eradicate this bad mindset. Shall end here today. God thanks again. :)

I haven't blog for an extremely long period of time. Well life has been rather good for me. I got selected for the research project. :) My term test officially ended today. This week also happens to be my term break which means, half my term break is gone. Frankly speaking, I am looking forward for school because I can't wait to get back my results. If I'm not wrong, all my modules I should be able to get at least 35/50.
I want to thank God for showering me with his undivided attention, help and of course always being there for me when I needed someone to fall back on. He has been a great friend and father during my times of distress and he still is someone who never ever fails me. Even when the whole world falls on me, I know he will be there for me. I love you God.

I'm so sad, I'm gonna miss "Happy Fish" today. :( This term ain't going to be a honeymoon semester for me. Don't think I'llbe able to smoke my way through without studying like I did last semester. Hopefully I can be in the top 25% aka 1st quadrant again. Well I'm going to end here today. It's 19 days to Christmas.

Furthermore, I start at 9am on 3 of the days. :( What a way to spend my december.
God please help me to get through this month. It's the month of celebrating and here I am mugging. :( Santa gave me a very nice surprise but my school gave me a nasty one. :(
