I MISS THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!

yap,im meaning the peeps frm crappie gang!!ya ya..i know..it's only been 1 week since i last saw them(after the Proteomics paper). BUT after 1wk at NIE(which is my current place of torture) i absolutly appreciate the times i had in sch. Dun get me wrong. Somehow this new-found torture place havent got me loving the exam periods..yet.. ai yah anyway, cant believe only 1 week went by..tt leaves another 13 more weeks.. *arghhhhhhhh* pulls hair out!!

Being 'attached' wasnt as good as i thought. Basically have been doing.. errr, no wait.. it's basically HAVEN been doing much! they didnt have much stuff for me u see. Here's a peep into my journal which im keeping TOTALLY out of boredom..yesyes!! i even have time to write at 'work'..notice the ' '? cos i dun even call wat i did the past few days as W-O-R-K.

DATE: 25th Oct 2004
TIME: 12.30pm

It's 12.20pm now..Freaking hungry!! 1st day of attachment. Now left in a room all alone which is suPERRRR cold!!! Think my nose is going to fall off soon~ k, so im supposed to be reading a book entitled "advanced guide to hydroponics"..read through a bit le..haizz..bored..when's lunch?? arghhh...cold & hungry!!!!!! someone help me~~

yea, tt was how i spent my first 2 days of attachment! great isnt it? *pukes*
right,im getting paid for doing NOTHING..but do u know exactly how B-O-R-I-N-G that is?? time seem to crawl by..(hmmm,what's slower than crawl ah?)

n guess wad, even such a tortise-slow(pronounced as tor- tease) reader like me have completed 2 books in ONE WEEK!! mind you it's not those thin thin 50 pages fairy tale sort..it's TWO of the 300+ pages kind of paperback books.. tt basically sums up my 1st week at NIE.

but got hold of news today (yES..enough~ i HAD to work today!!) that i may be given work @ another lab where im allowed to do more 'mentally challenging' stuff like subculturing n DNA extraction.. *cant wait for that*

had enough of washing beakers n conical flasks n all those TSO work!!! ENOUGHHH~ if im going to do that for one more time, u guys can call me Maria..nono..Layla.. tts the maria equivalent name for a maid in the Lab. I mean like wad the hell?~?!?! studied like *censored* for 2 yrs+ n all i get to do now is WASH BEAKERS?!?! not tt i have anything against that la..but pls, im just keen on learning more rather den washing stuff which ANYBODY can do.. dun need tt cert Dip. in biotechnology to wash beakers u know..

anyway, i jus wanna end by saying how much i miss u guys..( joyce, monica, eliza,huiyi, pearlyn, ash n of cos jo)even though see jo almost everyday..still it's different wen in a grp n wen jus alone 2gether with her. I MISS U PEEPS!!!!!
there's no other word i can tink of now to describe how i feel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!! -->in advance for tmr..hehe...hope u enjoyed urself tt day.. including the special 'mix' we came up with. Never tekan u tt bad le..better appreciate it..

tts all for now..not feeling too good. became sick wen i was watering the plants in the greenhouse this morning~ yesyes, im now a Layla n aso Miss Hydroponics Woman! pbthhhh....

So wat does a super-bored gal do when she's stuck at hm on a rainy sunday afternoon with NOTHING to do?? She (aka me) does an ultra sexy and inspiring jigsaw puzzle!!! this is what ive done so far...not tt nice yet but wait for the completed pic!  

overcome by sadness

If you're expecting an entry filled with tons and tons of wonderful,
gorgeous pictures of me(as promised earlier).. this isnt it. Firstly cos my
tardy computer wun cooperate with me..den realised my page kinda takes
awhile to load so better no kill it with more pictures. N aso dun wan to use eileen's
account too much..bu hao yi si (aka not too nice) hehhe...

Soooo with my last paper done n over with, wat m i up to on this beau-Ti-Ful saturday?
hmm, let's jus say that im gonna rot at hm and sleep as much as i can for the next few hours!
y? cos bloody attachment starts on MONDAY!! like wad the hell manz!?!
After slotting for TWO papers like mad, they onli give us TWO days off b4
sending us to another version of hell?

Ohhh!!*claps hands in excitment* i get it i get it!! Becos we only had
TWO papers, thats y we are only entitled to TWO days of 'holiday'..
*smug look* bet u all didnt know tt rite?

Arghh... Who am i kidding? They jus wanna torture us la..but in nicer
words they'll say "we dun want u all to waste time." -_-
(like my fringe?)

Hmm, think waking up at 12noon has totally wiped out watever humor i have in me.

Actualli wanted to write abt a DJ staying opp. me..but not realli in the mood.
Oh, pls note tt DJ in this case does not refer to Disc Jockey. it's DEAF JERK!
this bugger blasts music as if he's deaf manz!! weird thing is tt he onli does so for 30 mins! yeah..realli.. exactly 30 minutes..den u'll hear the whole estate sighs in relief at
the once-again silence of the neighbourhood after tt.

Weirdo..wonder what songs will he play today?hmmm....

ohh, btw..Joyce, Joanne, Ash.... jus realised that u guys were the first group of guests who stepped into this house!! honoured anot? haha... ehh...nonono...the 3 baby mouseys were the first 'guests'..BUT if not counting them den ya..u guys le~

haizz...feeling all lousy inside.. Said 'cya' to alot of ppl yesterday. Went to clear up
our stuff in the lab after our paper. Somehow jus cant help but think things would be different wen we get back. In wat ways? Well, i aso dun know how to explain.
It's that same kind of feeling back in sec. sch wen u go off for the dec. holidays and
then seeing ur friends again in Jan. It'll take awhile to get back in momentum again.
Err, guess im jus sounding all sappy here. K, i'll stop.

Buuttt...how can i jus leave u all without at least ONE pic of the booty-licious mE? haha...here u go..





(nice? ehhhe....tts me with longer hair..hahha..)

All abt FYP

FYP(Final Year Project)..It's our 5 months tmr..5 months of torture,
being laughed at, working more den 8hrs in the lab etc etc... Buttttt in
my case, it wasnt JUST FYP..my partner's view of FYP was more
like "Finish-of-Your-Partner"!!



Yup. That's her! See..she's soo guilty she doesn even wanna show herself!

But dun worry..here's one pix of her n her ultimate TOOL! her new-found tool to torture me..



Mr/Miss Spanner has been her best friend ever since she set
her eyes on it abt a week ago. Liquid nitrogen is also one of
her pals! but nahhh, we're still buddies..



this one is taken recently in the lab during incubation time..*manz,i look
as if i have 3 kids in pri. sch and is rushing the housework*


However partner jo doesnt work alone in torturing me! she
has an evil sidekick--our TSO!! Dun be fooled by that slim n
oh-i-am-so-weak exterior!! That woman is strong i tell u!!



tts jo and weiling(in blue)! sometimes i get my fun too...
tts wen weiling n i gang up against jo!! *grinz*

woohoo~ ooh, got another pix showing the evil mojojojo in action...



dun even let off a pitiful plastic 'caution-man' sign!

but u know something. I have a plan! *looks ard to make sure
noone else is listening*...this partner of mine has a weakness...she
likes this emergency shower thingy placed just outside our lab!
nono, more like she's in LOVE with it..but we arent allowed to
use it unless it's an emergency hence the
name--emergency shower..which is thus only allowed to be
used during emer....*did i mention tt it's an emergency-shower alreadi?*
*starting to sound like a bimbo*
okok, so anyways it's basically a shower that most probably we wun
get to use UNLESS somehow u're real suay and catch fire or something
during lab work which is like realllllyyyyyy suay if it does happen!
So wat's my plan u're asking me? The punishment for playing with tt would
mean being EXPELLED frm sch.. sooo....



hehhe...pull it jo..pull it!!!

think im ending it here...wanna type more but kinda worried none
of the pictures would come out meaning that watever ive done is
nothing but a waste of time! will blog more abt FYP if pix
appear fine..cos jo...u're NOT off the hook yet! i've barely even started
on the funny stuff u dO!!hahha....remember the tip boxes? tons more
pictures waiting to be shown!! for now, it's back to HT..arghh, still no mood
to study!!! die la die la...y is it that i look soo lowly upon his HT paper tt i dun
even bother to study?! im soooo going to regret come monday!!

[ohh btw jo..my sister has granted u the 'green-light' to like tt song.
u now have THE PREMISSION..hahha...n me mum says OK to the
curry chicken thingy too!! see...im soo good to u!! *grinz*]

this is bad~

heLp me! i jus cant seem to get down to revising. Possible reason could be
because it's jUST 2 papers! Another could be because on is on monday
n the other on friday. arGHhhh..im so going to regret not

interesting day

Today was one of those days where u end it with a smile on ur face. Went to sch
in the morning for the test which i missed due to the vomitting-issue.
Anyway, in tt short 2+ hrs..so many things happened! hahha..
dunno y, but try as i might i dun tink it'll sound funny if i write this out.
But i saw Dr.Koh..he damn funny. a veryYY quiet man! realli..
walk in and out of the room but NO SOUND!!! if not for the keys jingling in his pocket when he came in, i would have died of shock when i look up
and saw him there!!

Anyway, test was a killer. But other than that..today's a mighty good day~!
Was on the way hm, and i bumped into him. Not as in
physically bump into him la.. but ya, i saw him. K, shouldnt
go on abt this..no good no good...*shakes head*

Oh, then decide to go for jog in the evening. Btw think
ive gone mad! Even when im already freaking broke i went
for a mini-shopping spree after sch! Bought new pants and earphones!!
yea baby~ finally nomore silent busrides to n frm sch!
Finally i can indulge in MUSIC everywhere i go~!! woohoo..n it's in BLUE too!!
now how great is that..my fav. color!

(but u know one thing..it's the same color as his too.. Die-ded. But
believe me, i didnt get the sAME color on purpose! tell u a secret ok..
*come closer la* k, it was the only color they had actually. so no
choice aso. price aso in my range so yea)

p.s: *reads back to check entry* ehh..did i make it sound as if i
bumped into dr koh? nono..the him doesnt refer to tt SILENT man..

k la..going to play games now.. shall study when the mood comes..which i
wonder when would tt be!

To be or not to be....

arghh...y when everybody's else blogs seem alrite, mine is giving lots of trouble?!?! Anyway,decided to leave it as this for now..plain (*vomits..it's BORING plain) and simple...*falls asleep just looking at it* maybe i'll come up with something better during the IAP period..hmm..ponders..yea, tt might work.. Today was one of those sundays where i would wake up early (becos im forced to), and end up doing stuff that would get me thinking about stuff i wanna do in the future. Today, i went to the MARKET!! hahha.... firstly, this market i went to didnt stink as bad as i thought it would. phew~ Anyway, was looking at the vendors..Den once again that same thought went through my mind. What am i going to do after i graduate? Work? Study? If work, den work as what? In a related field as to wat im studying?? See, soo many unanswered questions! Remember those little assays we had to write in primary sch.. Title: What i want to be when i grow up Then here is the part where we would write ambitions where some of us would realise that we cant be anymore. Occupations like doctor, scientist, pilot blah blah blah....It all seemed sooo simple back then. It was as if whatever we said we wanted to be could happen..Now, the reality of shitty life comes in. YOU WONT ALWAYS GET WHAT U WANT! yea yea, sad rite..even though some may work their ass off towards their ambitions, not all will succeed.. cruelty of life hor.. Ya, so back to the part where i was looking at the vendors, den i realised... I WANNA BE MY OWN BOSS! I know i know...be own boss can be difficult.. But wat gives better satisfaction than seeing ur own business flourishing and pospering? So, i decided that im gonna work hard for the first 5 years or something for somebody den start up something on my own.. YES! *feels all motivated suddenly* *looks at stack of notes to study* haiz..but for now, it's back to the books!! funny how when there's plenty of time on hand, i'll always waste it on stupid stuff like blogging for example! And then will start to rush revision for exams last minute and complain "If give me one more day to study, sure can do better one~!" crap ah.....~!!! why will i never change this...hahhha...k, make today the day..so i guess tt means this entry ends here. *hope u haven fell asleep due to the lack of C_O_L_O_R....there...something to wake u up! hhaha...

Still feeling under the weather. Went to see the doctor yesterday..waited until i tink im 25yrs old now! frm sick to cure to become worse..anway, funny thing the doc did.. Doc: How many fingers do u see? (sticks up 1 finger in the air and moves it around) Me : 1 *gave a little burst of laughter* Hahaha..felt stupid for him for asking me such a question. But ya lah, i know.. he was just afraid tt i might be having 'visions' cos of my giddiness. But nonetheless, felt that it was such a bimbo-nic question...couldnt help the outburst of laughter!! *feels bad now* pwhahhaha... Oh oh..talking abt BIMBOS!! went to watch White Chicks on monday (the day before this whole vomit-hoo-haa issue), n i declare this the bEST comedy ever! if u're yet to watch it..wad??u're dumb or something?!?! get that $6.50 out and go catch it at the next time slot!! skip lunch even if u have to! it's THAT good.. Feeling sad, go watch it!

Feeling muderous, go watch it!

Feeling happy, go watch it and get happier!!

Feeling stupid, go watch it!

ai yah, think even if u're retarded, u'll get the idea by now.. no matter wat mood u're in..this is a perfect movie..nono,let me rephrase..it is THE perfect movie!!

not gonna be a movie spoiler...(ohh, cant help it...)...BUT i like the part about the PRADA bag! hahah... (opps sorry..just had to say it)

but seriously, do u know there are like people who still speak like that? Like oh my GOD..can u believe it? *tink bimbo style n voice frm here on...*

Bimbo S: Like that is soo not ur colour! *shows squeezed up face n points manicured-finger at dress on fellow bimbo*

Bimbo E: Ehemm, girlfriend! Like what were you thinking? That color is like sooo yesterdae..so yesterday...( goes on singing tt song by Hilary Duff in a sickly tune/pitch)

Bimbo X: But i like this color!! *fingers dress..looks into the mirror.. starts to tear up*

Like believe me! i cant believe there are actualli people speaking this way!!! It's funny...sooo bimboic..if there's such a word! hmm, mayb i'll try speaking like tt for one day n see how it feels..hhahaha...watch out guys! bimbo has. for the day is here! it's onli for ONE day..ehhe...

puke

What did i eat wrong?? have vomitted more than 3 times le... help me!! i cant concentrate on LSSS..let alone IL2 practical! argghh...the urge to puke is coming back again.. *runs away frm computer*

This whole entry would be abt Spore Idol..so if ure not interested...den go do something else..LAH. Firstly, for those who are or were fans of candice foo, i'll like to thank u for supporting her. For the votes u gave. For the joy u shared in her song. FOr those who hate her, i have nothing to say except that mayb u DONT know her..so how can u hate someone wen u dun even KNOW tt person? For those who are sad/depressed/suicidal over her drop out, i just wanna assure u that she did wat she felt she had to do. Please understand that she's only human and you dun own her. If you felt that she took up a space where if she didnt, someone else could have been in, den mayb yah, u're right. But this is LIFE. Learn to live with it manz. So pls spread the word ard n stop those hate mails. She's only 19 manz..(not even actualli..) So well well, wat do u know.. A very good singer was kicked out of Spore Idol yesterday yet AGAIn (shirin who i feel is like wow didnt manage to get into the finals). So wat does this prove? It only goes to show that the whole show is a H-O-A-X.. yup, nothing but that. To put things straight, i was there listening to them LIVE on thurs. N i felt that Taufik was the first to give the best performance for tt nite(not tt he was the BEST..), but wat do 3 of the judges say.. err, wat "i dun tink u did well" blah blah bla..like how bias can they GET?!?! realli pissed me off .. onli ken speaks the truth. n for that i applaude him!! Like wad kind of show is this wen EVEN the judges try to influence how the ppl think. N if thats not enough, they get so damn outright bias towards those they like! Pouring wonderful,beautiful comments on those who somehow sometimes dun deserve it. Im not saying exactly who..but they do DO that if u realise. And wonder if anyone realised how tired all of them looked. Frm some reliable source, heard one of them was very ill tt day. I dun see why anyone shld be put through such torture for a competition which clearly is truly darn bias! Hmm, den again some would do ANYTHING for fame, money and glory. *lift hands up in a defeated way* And in a sick way, i see that there are alot of ppl in singapore who is HUNGRY for a Spore idol.. i mean they are willing to pour out tons n tons of money on these ppl. Not only that, that sick attitude of thinking tt they OWN these ppl kinda makes me ill in the stomach. k,den again, u might say tt im jus jealous..so F off..this is mY blog..these are mY comments. I say wad i wanna say. (im jus super pissed at how the way the world works) To end, i feel that even the producers are playing ard with the minds of the audience. Putting jerry against Jessea and Beverly was like comparing a fake mini-stone to like a ruby and sapphire! Naturally there would be ppl who would hate jerry for it..so once again..here's the MEDIA for u..they manipulate things in such a way soooo horrible, u can sometimes wake up crying if u were in it. For one, i felt that Jerry didnt sound too bad live tt day..but obviously, he was no biggie next to Jessea in my opinion. Well, things happen. I guess all of u know who voted for Jerry.. in tis case, i tink i have the right to say tt it's the same bunch who's supporting SUN HO. but hey, no offense intended. Tink im gonna cut this here. Not gonna talk anymore abt this show. Frm this experience, i realise how evil the media industry can be..and how dirty the world works out there. with this, i end my entry on the SINGAPORE IDOL.. *whoever wins SI is jus a survivor.*
