my structural bio leacturer is so kind. he forgot to give us any assignment or test for our 30% CA component. so now, 3 weeks before our exam, he announces that he will post a journal paper for us to read and do a 2 page report. how nice of him. why sbs always make us do stupid things like this before exams??
i got a reply from the oncology research institute for my request of internship. got it through jh's contacts actually. most likely i should be able to work there for the holidays. wasnt really keen on working in the lab for the whole 3 months but sort of under peer pressure to gain experience and find a lab for fyp. this is my last 3 months hols and as one of my friends say, we should take this opportunity to make full use of the hols and do what we like. there will be plenty of chances to work after graduation. seems so close to our graduation and i feel so lost. but since i cant take ge, i'll work. felt like i wasted alot of my hols last time. hopefully can learn more this 3 months. so many people are going overseas, for hols or for studies. dont really have the courage to go overseas for studies. but i like to go overseas!

had a relaxing day today watching the movie mr bean's holiday. i always like watching comedies cos it feels good to laugh. especially after today's lab session where i didnt understand anything at all. feel so demoralised. mr bean is something that i've watched since young. so even if its a little exaggerating, i'll still watch it.but i guess its exaggerated cos he has to make people laugh without talking. this movie shows him going to france and the funny things that happen along the way, making him take a long detour and meeting interesting people. alot of the conversation is in french, so its a good chance to revise my french. haha...havent used it since i finished the module. the movie also showed many scenes of the french city and countryside. makes me wanna go there! both wen and my mum will be going there soon. when's my turn??

when i bathe, i cant do without hot water, unless its an extremely hot day or after a vigourous exercise. thus it has been a torture when i have to bathe with ice cold water for three days in a row. in addition to my flu, i'd end up shivering in the shower and feeling cold the whole night. my roomie says maybe this is considered yi du gong du (counter poison with poison)? stubborn as i am, i didnt want to see the doctor. but i guess i'm recovering already. sleep really works in allowing your body to recover. i wanna sleep more~ but there's a hrm test tomorrow... exams are in about a month but my work is just beginning
my friend was envious that i was sick as she rarely gets sick. she says she likes the feeling of people showing concern for her when she's sick. thanks to the people who showed concern and did things for me. but i still dont like getting sick!
hall application has opened. which hall should i choose? want to stay in the new halls but dont think i'll be successful. should be applying with yu but due to our point differences, we'll most probably be split apart. dont want to stay with a stranger in my last year

Impresario 07' finals were held at the Rock audi last night. though i was in the programming subcommitee, i didnt do much till the start of rehearsals. didnt get to know many new people too. my main commitee leader was the stage manager, which means all of us were stuck backstage too. didnt get to see a single thing of the whole performance. but at least we got to interact within ourselves and the contestants. so overall, i had fun.
sy and i were in charge of the vocal group finalists. it was like 2 people taking care of 19 small kids. we had to keep track of their whereabouts at all times and also to ensure that they are not too noisy or peep out at the audi. nearly freaked out when one of the contestants went to dhoby ghaut without telling me. in addition we try to help them whenever we can, like refilling their bottles! and thus they all call us 'nai ma', which means nanny. the vocal group finalists were a really fun bunch, so hyperactive and always singing and joking together. it became entertainment to me in the boring backstage. and they had really good voices! really like to hear them sing. my personal favourite was felicia and ahmad's 'ni zui zhen gui'. ahmad's chinese is so good! all of us didnt expect erick and bernard to win. their voices were good too and they could harmonize well. but i felt that the song wasnt really their own style. they sang better songs backstage.
angela zhang was the guest artiste and initially, the people backstage were all eager to see her. but she came with a really black face and was quickly escorted into the vip room. after that her assistant complained that angela zhang will get angry if people kept peeping in and asked for paper to cover the glass pane. i know she was probably tired or something but shouldnt she be used to being seen in public? though pitiful for the loss of privacy, that should be expected when you're famous. and she had to leave within half hour of arriving. after that we had to clear the corridors whenever she has to walk by. can see her practically dragging her feet.
well, i enjoyed myself with the contestants and subcommitee. hope can get the cd of the performance soon!
