Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

For all of you who might be wondering about the title, interesting spelling right? Haha it is very unlike me for purposely misspelling words, "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" is actually a title of a song performed by the band Fall Out Boy. For those who still have not able to figure out, the proper version of it is "Thanks for the Memories". I chose this to be my post title just because to make it more memorable. A lot of things happened throughout this year, good and bad. And we are in the time of the year (maybe not everybody, at least for me) to flashback our lives--the last month of the year, December. But not just any ordinary December, this very date 12/12/12 is the last repeating date of the century! (Well I am quite sure everybody aware of that!)

If you read my previous post then I am sure that you know I am currently in my final year of uni. If you are wondering about how it is like, I have just the perfect word to describe it--T.O.U.G.H!! phew~ and oh ya, regarding the follow up of my animal ethics proposal, it has been approved! No reduction of animal number and so I can go on with my research as I have planned, yippee! However getting the approval was no easy task, I became the impromptu representative to propose to the ethics committee. I was so nervous I could faint! But my group mates are the most amazing, they gave their supports and also defended me when the committee members were showing their fangs!

It is never too late to learn to appreciate the wonderful things in life, one of them is jazz music. What? Jazz music is for the oldies! Honestly, that was what I thought before I get the chance of attending live jazz concert at the marvellous Petronas Philharmonic Hall. At first, the free tickets attracted me into it (who never likes free stuff right?haha) but I was mesmerized once the show started. The combination of guitar, violin, banjo guitar, piano, organ, and bass guitar, and not to mention the amazing talents of some good looking gentlemen and a twist of their mellow voice...it was 90 minutes of total awesomeness!!!

I always feel lucky because I am blessed with great friends around me. I had the best birthday celebration this year because I cannot ask for more valuable gift than the efforts of my friends to make it as memorable as possible. My lecturer once said, "...the friends you make in uni are the friends for life." True but not only uni friends, I always value my childhood friends and also friends I made along the way to where ever life has brought me. They are the best! All of us might not be able to spend the good times like we used to as we are going our separate ways in life. The luxury of freedom to choose what we want and decide what we need put us nothing near to certainty of what could happen in the future. But one thing for sure, we can always go back in time and recall all the fond memories we have shared together.

No matter how wonderful life is, it would be nothing without family. We are separated by nothing but distance and no matter how long, it never gets easier to be away from your loved ones. Wow so emo!haha it is just that I am feeling a little bit of homesick lately, but no worries because time flies! I will be home sweet home in no time =)
p/s: Papa, happy birthday!

Food for Thought

Reciprocate kindness; do not be selfish.


Stop whining, admit your wrong.


Nobody is perfect. Know your weaknesses and keep improving yourself.




I was not in a good mood when these words assembled themselves in my then chaotic mind, somehow it made me feel much much better after giving it a full thought. I hope that when I start to improve myself for the better, the people around me will follow my footsteps too. <3

Mice mice baybeh!

Guess what, I am in the final year already! I thought it might worth writing down because..erm..just a random thought since I haven't been writing for such a looong time. It is because I have been extremely busy, not just recently but it started since the mid of the third year, you know with so many assignments and reports deadlinesss to meet, presentations to follow and then there was the internship needed to be completed blah blah blah...

Anyhow, those were nothing compare to what I have to go through currently--Final Year Project (FYP in short). It is all about presentations and more presentations for both semesters in the final year with lesser formal lectures. So far I have done 3 presentations. 2 of them were group presentations, it was quite simple to accomplish as my group members are sooo co-operative (Thanks so much guys!!). The other one was an individual presentation, where all of us have to present our research proposals for our thesis, I definitely won't forget that hectic 1 week of proposal presentation and months of preparation before that. I believe everybody was terrified to wait for their turns after seeing one by one of our own gets fiery comments and mind-twisting questions from the attending lecturers after they presented their proposals (okay the lecturers sounded so mean here, actually many of us did get good comments so bravo to those who managed that!).

So regarding the title for my post today, it has something to do with my FYP. Basically I will be assessing the antimalarial property of a phytochemical called curcumin. So the mice will play a very vital part here, as I would need their blood in order to obtain malaria-infected red blood cells. Now hold on animal activists! I might sound like I am hurting these animals but before they are handed to us, we are required to go through a tedious procedure called the Animal Ethics where the authorised personnels will provide a course to train us on how to handle the animals professionally. I am yet to undergo this course however, but I will be in exactly 1 week from now! Damn nervous now as I would have to present my proposal again to all 12 "zealous" members of the Animal Ethics Committee. This time around it will be focusing on the research methodology where the mice are involved. **fingers-crossed that they will approve my project, because rumour has it they are 10x worse when it comes to punching the undergrades with no mercy**

First post in 2012!

Fifth semester is officially over! I finished my last paper earlier yesterday, which was the paper for the long awaited killer subject--Immunology. Sigh~ my lecturer surely knows how to zealously torture her students as this subject made me went through a sleepless night, I went to bed around 12 a.m. the night before and ended waking up at 5 a.m. feeling terrible and  damn nervous to face the questions that were going to come out (and not forgetting feeling extra hungry as well, probably because I consumed more energy than usual studying until the very last minute *guilty*). Other than that, waking up at 5 a.m. is quite strange for me. In fact this was the first time I ever did that since I entered uni (so, WOW! hahaha...).

Well people always say "save the best for the last", so I guess my lecturer indeed saves the best torture for her students on the very last day of our examination (what more can I say, well done to her! :P). I felt a huge sense of relief when the invigilator finally announced that we can submit the answer sheets.
Hence the new worry surfaces after the examination is over. In the coming weeks I will be frantically waiting for my result to come out, wondering how it is going to turn out. Anyhow I just hope that I will pass all subjects *fingers crossed*, because the last thing I want to do is re-taking the paper! I believe nobody wants that, right?

Thus in order to avoid me from driving myself crazy, I figured I could use some distractions to get me away from becoming an over-thinking freak. Let me be vain here by assuming that you read my previous post regarding my flight ticket. Hmmm so yeah, I will be stranded here in KL for the next 3 weeks despite having a 1-month long of semester break, and some more Chinese New Year happens to fall during this time arghhhhhh...! (by now I am already 3 years straight being away from home during this festivity). Okay calm down now silly girl, hence my oh-so-free time I plan to have a glorious TV series marathon. I already have several TV series in line, "Chuck" "The Vampire Diaries" "How I Met Your Mother" and "Bones" to name a few :D. I hope these will be enough to keep myself occupied.
