What's your reason for living?
Anticipating CNY celebration everyday...
Today I met Jocelyn, a year-one graduate from DSCAU who came to get some documentation doen. She had made her choice to study in Melbourne University, but she was offered a UNSW scholarship few weeks before departuring to Down Under. So lucky of her.
From her, I learnt how to earn my chance to study abroad. Hehe... gonna try my luck the next time UNSW representatives come here.
Let me introduce some awesome rock music. Band name AC/DC. I'm not sure whether this is the soundtrack for the coming sequel of the movie Ironman, but the music is nice. Not entirely pop songs, but a change to rock is definitely refreshing.
If you want the link, you can ask it from me. ^^
Juzt when I thought this semester couldn't get any worse...
My hair got burnt by the Bunsen burner during Microbiology lab today.
Lesson of the day: Get my hair cut. No more procastination.
T_T the hair that I tried to keep.... now it's gone like the wind. So in the end, my will to keep long hair was bent not by humans but rather by my own silly mistake.
I am, however thankful that not all of my hair was burnt off.
To note, this event did gave me a temporary boost of attention and energy, things that I really required during the lab session due to serious deprivation of sleep. Or else a more serious accident might have occurred.

Biochemistry 2 is probably comparable to law subjects when discussing about the amount of information we biochem students need to MEMORIZE.
- enzyme name (eg. 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase)
- all products, substrate and probably by-products for 10-step pathways
- inhibitors and activators (all your hormones and drugs go into this category)
Please give me all the mental and moral support to survive this semester. And I pray no more mishap for this week.
I finally understood why cooking is also known as home science. Not knowing how to cook, I've used the trial and error methodology to prepare food. Possibly edible food.
Yea, it's a huge risk I was about to take to eat the food that I myself had prepared.
At least the steamboat dinner I had with my classmates was a success. And each trial of preparing food would ensure the next meal a better success.
"Miss, your food is here", the waitress said in a polite tone, only to burst out of laughter together with my classmates when I divert my vision from a comic book to face her.
Crap, how can I be mistaken for a girl? I have quite a flat chest and abs to boast about and I was mistaken for a girl?
Guess this calls for a haircut. Even when I'm troubled by the piling coursework on my to-do list.
So happy that I was able to make nicely stained smears for my Microbiology lab session today. I finally can see the motility of microorganisms. Made me so excited the moment I saw them through the light microscope.
I'm wondering whether I am getting too fascinated by them.
That's strange, considering I was afraid of these microbes since last lab session. Probably because I failed so miserably the last time that I dreaded Microbiology lab session. Now at least my self-esteem had been restored by today's success.
Wonder how did my other coursemates fare in today's lab session?

By the way, yesterday's presentation was also quite well done. My topic was on Aspirin the drug, something that I scraped from my SAM coursework, somewhat a last minute job lolx.
Have anyone purchased new clothing for this new year? I'm not specifying to the event of Chinese New Year, but I am looking forward to have new apparels for the coming festive celebration.
I might need to appoint a fashion advisor too, considering I had a poor sense of dressing. Mind helping me?
To be honest, I cannot control my budget when it comes to food! Whenever I see food, I am tempted to buy. Even when I'm not hungry at the moment. Except during Microbiology lab session. lolx.
Guess I have a serious case of greed and gluttony.
I still cannot get over the fact that I'm twenty years old starting this year. Were you all prepared for the same?
There are two types of cancer that I recognize. Humans.... and bacteria.
Though I am more than happy to learn about bacteria, I now fear to work with them in the Microbiology laboratory. To be honest, lab sessions had never ever been this tensed. Everyone was afraid to talk to each other and constantly heard as mumbling.
I was also hit by depression as I did a major mistake in preparing stained smears of bacteria samples. Though the lab instructor did not take notice, I felt totally awful for misleading the rest of the class.
My lab coat is probably contaminated with microorganisms and therefore needed to be washed. Immediately. The stench of microorganism needs to be eliminated too.
Totally unhappy with this unpleasant experience during today's lab session.
