Bus bus bus around....

Today me n Ruth went all the way to Pak n Save and Warehouse in South Dunedin! Of course we didn't actually walk the like 1 hour day.. we just decided to be smarter and use public transportation :p it turned out that it wasn't all that hard to catch a bus there anyway... even though initially we just went to the bus stop and like hung around coz we couldn't figure out which one to take ! and we also paid a visit to Angela where she was working :p Altogether quite fun.... spent some time wondering around and all and bought quite a bit of stuff from pak n save.. Can't miss the chance to go shopping a bit.

I'm still getting over my haircut.. sigh.. assuming that not too many ppl read this blog and the ones that are reading it alreaddy know :p so yeah.. i think i got it cut tooooooo short........ i got a variety of kinda weird comments... like i look like a schoolgirl or i just came from m'sia? hmmm... i donno if i actually wanna look that young..... ..... i was sorta gonna go for the more mature, slick, evil look :p hehehe....

oh well.... thats life...... not too exciting not too dull...

Searching, waiting... slacking...

I think my blog is getting a bit desolate :p... got back on Saturday but haven't really been feeling up to update coz i think all that negative energy should be channelled elsewhere or else i'm gonna be sounding very bitter and annoyed....

My holidays is still on unlike maybe quite a lot of people but its getting back into a routine thats hard... been kinda doing a mix of slacking off and thinking about studying... might i emphasize the word "thinking" not "doing".... argh!!!

"The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail."
Isaiah 58:11

Start of holidays!

How nice.. its finally the start of the midterm break..... and yet.. i feel tired... hmmm the week must have worn me out.. i guess coz i had quite a lot of bad news and am still not very settled with where i'm going next year. Its confusing and sometimes i do wonder if God is staying away from me for this time... sigh ...

'When I was young i had dreams, of the prince and princess and happily ever afters, when hope was of a future of sunshine and flowers. As I grew older the dreams became maybes and reality set in. The dreams became just a myth of days long past. The harsh realities were learnt through failures, mistakes and the simple cruelty of life. And then the hopes became just dreams, of a time that would not come to pass. A refuge in the innermost self when the evils became too much. Survival was for the adaptable and that little part where you once thought all was perfect and beautiful was lost to the tides of practicality and reality.'

What a blast!!!

Wow... i'm blown away.. i went to the sharing by a guy who like basically died.. went to see heaven, hell n God n was risen again! It was just amazing! The detail and all and what more he related it to the Bible quite specifically... Its just awesome how God can be so amazing!!! Even though he wasn't a Christian he was guided by God to accept Christ like just before he actually died... it was just totally so supernatural and yet real! God is real!

"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' " Luke 16:31

Rest...

Waaahh... relief.. so glad that my "rat race" ie anatomy test is over :p.. now i can at least take a deep breath and relax.. the week has been way too hectic for my liking and i've done none of my many computer tests yet. I know i'll have to pay the price of that next week ...

oh well.. did i mention we have caught 5 mice now so far.. hehe .. but none today...either there's no more or the idea of just a raisin with no nutella coating is not very attractive to the average mouse oh well... i think i'll just type less and rest more... :p

Rest........ ahhhhh.........

Ooh.. hehe mouse update.. we've caught 4 mice so far!!! Don't think thats supposed to be a good thing..... but hope we don't get anymore or maybe they'll just go away and leave us alone. I guess i won't post up the pics then..... hehe since it is pretty gruesome.. hmmm.. but i took pics of all 4 of them.. i'll have to figure out where to put them...

Sigh today has been a very tiring day.. i don't feel like doing anything.. i'm just glad my communication skills interview was over... n i've handed in the tape and book.. hopefully i don't have to do it anymore...

I want to take a nap!!! :( but i still have work....

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28

Pest control!

Our flat has a problem with mice... or to be more specific one mouse... that has been scurrying around in the cupboards leaving poop!!! ... eeww.... n today a friend lent us a rat trap which was set up n we managed to catch the mouse!! It was so gross.. eewwww... the poor little (kinda cute) brown mouse was caught under the trap ... with big black eyes still open.. so freaky.. i think ruth is severely traumatised coz she was there when it actually happened...!! Poor little mouse.. although can't say i'm not happy its gone!

Oh well weekend... next week is gonna be busy .. not looking forward to it... not really in a mood to study too but i know i got to arghhhh! its so annoying... hmmm.. should i post that pic of the mouse? its very disturbing.. i have to say....

Overdue b-day post!

Hehe i know this post is long overdue.. i just have been really busy with all the work n stuff n today i finally have more time on my hands!! I just feel so blessed to have such great friends! My b-day was on Tuesday n can u believe what angela did ? she threw cream at me!!! EEEEeeeeew... not sthg i particularly enjoyed but i have to congratulate them on their dedication and reasonable success even if the aim was oh so a bit off :p ...The plan was.. i think that she would come to my place early.. whereby 2 of my naughty flatmates let her in at 5am nonetheless .. n set stuff up.. n so i got a miss call at 6.45 am ? eventhough angela said she'd come over at 7.10am.. no. 1 suspicious factor :p.. no. 2 was that when i opened the door eventually.. (coz i didn't really wanna wake up, was trying to ignore the call) there was like all these paper taped across my door? which i think i was supposed to walk through but i'm blur but not totally stupid :p so yeah.. i just kinda ripped the edges off... nicely :p hehe n got through... no. 3 suspicious factor was that the light in the hallway was on ... at 6 sthg in the morning? quite unlikely.. hehe and the no.4 factor.. which was quite a tell-tell sign.. was that Ruth was hiding under the window next to the door leading to the kitchen... i peeked in and saw her straight away :p.. (in red pajamas too!) hehe.. but stil i opened the door.. carefully.. stuck my hand in to on the light.. but then.... see this is where i got ambushed... !! And splat this icky mess of white cream.... ok .. that was totally expected i suppose .. hehe n a whole bunch of white polystyrene balls which totally stuck everywhere !! Argh!! hehe took a shower n got treated to a nice breakfast after! (did i mention that the bathroom mirror was done up with Lipstick!! which took some effort to get off !!!)

:) It's nice to have someone care enough to do something like that i suppose... (looking on the bright side! ) and also really grateful to all my friends n flatmates who managed the dinner thingy on Saturday! Was really nice... very yummy double choc mocha cake :p n the candles n lovely Blue n White balloons in the flat were a lovely surprise ! :) So really big THANK YOU to all !! gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside :P

Yay...! The pic from Angela's ball last week.. nic deco aye? Hehe... well thats me n my flatties n our honourary flattie :p.. The theme was pink... (my skirt is pink right?)

Eternity...

Hmmm.. i've just been trying to post a pic from angela's b-day party from last week but its not going up!! arghhhh.. hehe....

anyway have been going through Purpose Driven Life n i find it very good. Its really giving me a perspective on eternity. I kinda realise that this life is not forever, its temporary and God has promised so much more to come. So what am I to do? This life is full of challenges and how we face it will affect how we spend eternity! To be faithful in what little we have now and we will be able to be faithful with bigger things when we are entrusted with them in hte future. Its hard in a sense coz its just so abstract. I can't see the end of the line.. i can't see what's gonna happen in the future and its just so easy to fall back and live life for my own gain.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen itemporary but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

It's really like a struggle all the way.. n sometimes you're up sometimes you're down.. so confusing... But i suppose God never promised life would be easy. But He did promise us the strength to carry on.

"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." 2 Peter 1:3

To live a life that brings glory to God... He has given us all that we are n i believe true fullfillment, joy, peace, rest... is through Him only.

"Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14

Times past...

I'm devastated!! I just finished reading Harry Potter Book 6 like after a 2 day marathon or so.. since i'm more free these few days... ... ... ... the front was pretty mundane .. just describing the normal stuff.. but man.. the ending.... was soooo sad... n very inconclusive... its a pity i already got quite a bit of spoilers from other ppl but still...well now that i've finished that can get it out of my system for a while.. its been annoying not being able to finish the book when i have had it for a while already :p ...

I guess just reminiscing..friends are really special people... aside from family... And yet sometimes the greatest joy is not what a person can give you but what joy you can give them. Somehow its more fulfilling that way.. hehe.. although it may be a bit self righteous n all i suppose... ~~~~~~~~ ok i'm babbling...

New week...

wOW time sure flies.. its monday already!! n i haven't updated for an age it seems ;P.. was really busy last week with classes n stuff n angela's b-day party on Saturday!! Eventhough it didn't go exactly according to our "wonderful" plan.. i think it still worked out pretty well ! At least we accomplished on of our missions on that night.. hehehe... Got back real late on Sat night.. man was i tired.. amazing that i still managed to get up for school of leaders on sat with some txt msging from Josh.. can't imagine how anyone can naturally wake up early !

Ooh n yesterday we "nearly" managed to cream angela!! Unfortunately she tilted her head back at the last moment!!! Arghhh.. should have applied more force..!!!! hmph!!!! no fair..but i guess she still willingly creamed herself for us after that :p.. hehe .!!! I can't wait to see those pics :p

n yeah.. today is monday... busy day.. again!! 8am start really does not help my mood n enthusiasm first thing in the week oh well.....

Stressful days...

Man .. my week has just been so busy! Arghhhhh ... starting with Monday i was really nervous about my communication skills filmed interview that afternoon and after the interview i didn't feel any better knowing that i kinda screwed up the whole thing!!! Awkard long silences and messed up questions... sigh.. then 8am lectures on tuesday.. lab preparations...and had my elective that afternoon.. some stuff about how europeans went to india and found the climate awfully hard to live in? did my computer test n failed... which wouldn't have been too bad added on to the fact that i found out that i was balloted out !And now i really don't know what to do? Should i move? Amidst the chaos in my head that night i spent a good two hours at library just transcribing my stupid interview.. which i had to present on wednesday. And all through the process berating myself on how i could have said all that silly stuff and made all those embarassing mistakes!!!!!! Interview presentation on wednesday... another stressful event and another shot at computer test which i thankfully passed.

So yeah.. the days have not been particularly peaceful... i did enjoy the anatomy labs today and on tuesday though.. we were doing some dissection on the neck area.. Today we actually literally sawed the neck off (think "pancung kepala") as well as the head in half in the sagittal plane just so that we could take a look at the structures in the larynx and pharynx. It was good to look at but the sawing was just horrible!! So gruesome... Glad that we don't do that to live patients.. :p

Rest for the weary...

Yay end of 1st week or maybe no-yay.. since it marks one week closer to my finals :p I was kinda worn out i supposed n slept in till "late" which is really amazing coz i dun usually sleep till that close to noon :o ! Today harry potter book 6 came out around 11am i think n yeah about 2hours or so later i was out in town to procure this very interesting albeit "children's" book hehe which with Angela turned out to be a pretty long shopping excursion as we just have the incredible way of being sidetracked all the time!!

Went to the last night of the Getsmart conference thingy tonight n it was great! Talked quite a bit about influence. And i guess its true we may not think that we r doing significant harm or benefit but sometimes little things count and as a whole we r almost undefeatable ! :) What also hit me was the fact that we spend so little time with GOd each day and so much time for ourselves yet always like to expect so much! Boy, i'm really selfish! I have to say there's a long way to go! But small steps...big distances hehe :) n hey its better to be brainwashed to do good than to do evil!

"I am laid low in dust;
preserve my life according to your word.
I have recounted my ways and you have answered me;
teach me your decrees.
Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;
then i will meditate on your wonders.
My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word."

Psalm 119:25-28

W3dne$d@y~~~~

Hmm 2 1/2 days into lectures already.. i have to say i'm a bit bored... lectures do have a tendency to drive u off to sleep especially if u have to wake up at 7am almost every single day! I can't help but complain a bit :p I had my elective yesterday which was something called European Encoutners in new worlds n old .. its a history elective which i kinda chose coz i thought it might be "interesting" but i guess i should have known better. At the moment i don't really find it particularyly stimulating and it kinda went against my expectations of history like i thought maybe some cultural revolution or sthg but instead its focussed mainly on NZ n esp on healtha issues... sigh..we have to write these 250-300word blurbs just to show our progress or sthg for each "seminar" hehe sounds posh.. n on the spur of the moment i wrote mine at 12am last night.. hehe coz it thought might as well get it over with as i might actually forget the content in a while.. :p

Just to give a brief idea of what i thought it was about, this is an excerpt from my blurb thingy which i think as i wrote it in a semi-conscious state is a bit incoherent .. ;p n i don't really know what my opinion is...

" There was also quite a prevalent belief on the impact of environment as a cause and also cure to disease. There was the idea of miasma – polluted air in areas like swamps, industrial areas and poorer quality environments as the cause of disease like malaria and diptheria. In contrast nature was also advocated as a cure where people went to the seaside, countryside, spas and planted trees in a belief that this aided in health. This is comparable to the practice of alternative medicine in the modern society. The theories are not proven but more based on observations due to the lack of knowledge at the time. Although, the benefits of a good environment may be considered, the idea of miasma seems harder to justify. Miasma is in a way related to the hygiene issues at the time as the need for proper sanitation and clean water was recognized. In modern day, this may translate into the relationship between poor socioeconomic status and health."

hehe ok la... i think i'm unneccessarily lengthening this post.. hehe. oh n about my decision thing i kinda just chose n submitted my choice already yesterday. So now its just up to God where i will end up next year! Just hope for the best n that i won't get balloted out into going to Wellington!

Heralding the end of holidays...

Today's saturday.. n yes i know i have not been partigularly vigilant in updating my blog, but then the week hasn't been that interesting either :p The week was speckled with bouts of shopping, hanging out with some friends, n quite a bit of movie watching with angela.. hehe interestingly enough... Oh n yeah the pipe in our hallway leaked during the big hailstorm yesterday... pretty shocking really just suddenly heard this really loud pouring of water n lo n behold there's a waterfall outside my door... :p

Hehe.. n today when i was going to look for a fren i accidently knocked on the door of her neighbour.. man that was embarassing! Fortunately i do know her neighbour although i realise now the dangers of having a row of identical flats next to each other... hmmmm

Well i guess thats the day... Other than that i'm still in a dilemma about a certain decision to make.. argh CONFUSION... oh welll... :S

"Show me your ways, O Lord teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me for you are God my Savior And my hope is in you all day long"

Psalm 25:4-5

Phew.... (wipes sweat of forehead) that took a long time to put up n resize the pics from the road trip! n yeah.. i didn't really put all but anyway.. u'll get the story... its on a new gallery which is Gallery 3 on the right side bar, pass = abc as usual.. hehe..

n yeah below is a map of our route ... hehe so all those names won't sound so alien! We started from dunedin - caitlins - invercargill - bluff - kingston - queenstown - arrowtown - wanaka - dunedin .. i kinda vandalised one of the maps (hope Jane doesn't mind :p, but then.. the trips over anyway)

Other than that the day has been quite nice! really nice weather for a change.. still pretty boring n all but i guess just trying to treasure the peaceful moments i have before the pace starts to pick up again. Thank God for great friends n flatmates ! To keep up the good cheer n make life just that bit more fun. :)

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my savior."

Habakkuk 3:17-18

All 5 of us gals next to the duckpond in the Gardens in Invercargill! Girl Power yeah!

Hehe ... here's me again trying to strangle the tuatara outside the museum/art gallery/info centre in Invercargill.. yes the museum is the white thing at the back that looks kinda like a pyramid :p

This is me at Bluff!! supposedly the southernmost tip of the South island...With all the signs pointing out the distance to the different places in km!

Here's another one of our stops with Ruth n me at Purakaunui waterfalls ! Just somewhere around Caitlins before reaching Invercargill.

Hello...! Yes i'm back from my roadtrip to a few places around south island... Just got back last night so yeah.. its taking me a while to get my pics and all sorted out. It has been a great trip and i'm really thankful to my flatmate for driving us around ! coz non of the rest of us can drive lor! :) Anyway, this lovely pic was taken at Nugget Point on Day 1 somewhere at the south part of south island as we were touring past Caitlins! Lovely view isn't it? And there is also a lighthouse behind me although u can't see it in this pic.

Just a wee mention that i've posted up the pics from my trip to Ashburton n the potluck last monday in gallery 2 ! Pass=abc as usual :) Will be off to invercargill and Caitlins tomorrow if all goes well n then to Queenstown and will probably be back late Wednesday so the blog will be lonely for a few more days :p

 

Hello! i'm back from Ashburton! It was a great n fun trip even if a bit tiring.. hehe.. anyway the pic is with me at the lord of the ring's site!!! Yes! Behind me is Sundae Island it was the place where the kingdom of Rohan... place where the castle of Edoras was in The Two Towers!! If u don't believe me compare with the other pic i've put up for ref.. :P 

1st day of real holiday!

Yes! Its the first day of my real holiday.. i guess i'm kinda brimming with excitement while filling kinda dull n blunt at the same time. Since my exams were over like 4 days ago.. its not really that exhilarating anymore :p.. But its nice to kinda just say i'm on HOLIDAY! hehe.. even if its a bit shortlived. I will be going to Asburton next week for ECC so thats something i'm not too keen on although i hope it will be fun and interesting to a certain extent. And the week after maybe a flat planned road trip to some parts of South Island!

I guess being a overly practical person has its downsides since i tend to look at reality as it is! So i tend not too get overly excited or depressed :p.. And in a way that kinda says that i'm dull? Argh... not really wat i was wanting to be... hmmm... well hopefully this "dull" person will be able to have an interesting holiday :p

Rejoice rejoice !

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Philipians 4:4

Yay! its finally the real holidays! hehe ... I'm just glad to be free from classes and exams alike hehe... nothing beats doing nothing? :p

Hmm.. seems that i haven't had a proper post as of late .. i guess even if its post exams u would think i would be more free.. but i guess i just felt like doing nothing for a while to recover from doing too many things :p

Today was pretty interesting although awfully long.. i guess i haven't had a full 9am-5pm day that much this year n its really getting on my concentration coz i really can't "sustain" my interest when the day just doesn't seem to end! But on the positive side some stuff was pretty interesting ! Got to watch like about 4 pregnancy videos today.. it was pretty amazing, the process of having a baby n seeing its head popping out from the women's vagina! A bit unnerving i have to say coz i'm wondering if i want to go through all that , but i think considering the joy of having a child -- should be worth it right?

Tomorrow will be the last day n to be frank i'm pretty happy about it. I'm not so looking forward to the week to come but i guess being somewhere other than dunedin should prove to be at least more intersting hehe... I still find the weather not nice at all n i've resorted to bundling up really warmly n trekking through the hospital instead of going around it just coz its warmer heheh -- not that that short distance is much difference :p

Exams are over... classes are back

Hello.. haven't bothered to update for a while.. i guess i've been feeling a bit slack.. didn't do too well in exam so i guess its not adding anything to my mood.. ... we got the answers the moment we handed in our papers sigh ... i still have full days of classes too 9am-5pm.. makes me feel kinda tired n very disinterested n what we're studying.. I'm just yearning to have some holidays! Arghhhh.. esp after exams....Oh well.. not too long to go... although it'll probably be another week before i get "true" holidays....

0 days till exam...
strangely calm and yet i wonder when the reality is going to sink in...

1 day till exam...
slightly anxious, a bit lost...
not that much more to go...
do your best leave the rest to God...

2 days till exams....
restless... uneasy.... need to study but not sure what to study....
hoping for brighter days to come and more sunshine amidst cold frosty winter mornings...

3 days till exam!
Heart rate: Increasing due to anxiety...
Mood: panic vs slack
Work output: nil - very low...
Solution: eat more chocolate and study more !

4 days till exam....!! EEEKk....
Anyway i guess i won't be updating all that much so yeah......
Hope I survive.... :p

Holiday yet no holiday...

Hi ! Today is Queen's b-day so we all got the day off but sad to say can't really enjoy myself.. with all the upcoming exams and stuff i'm forced to try to study.. :p.. can't say i'm progressing too well but i guess i can't stop trying now.. or else i'll be doomed come exam day ... Been studying about some drugs n stuff.. man so complicated.. how is it that for any drug they have to be so many trade names? hmm.. n then so many side effects n contraindications and what not! Argh i think i need some antidepressants and anxiolytics (anti-anxiety drugs) too !

Sunday.. 

Hello! Just 2 pics taken on sat n sun.. u can really tell the diff in weather.. since saturday was so foggy n cold while sunday turned out much better although the temperatures are still beneath 10 degrees brrrr... 

What God Hath Promised

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

-- Annie Johnson Flint

FreeZing....

Waaa... today is soooo cold..don't wanna leave my flat at all... this is a good sign that winter is finally here-- not good! Haven't done much today just trying to do a bit of study but ended up taking a nap sometime in the afternoon :p... hehe...

Wahhh... the week is gone , already?

Mmm.. the week sure has flown by real fast.. :p.. By the way it snowed this morning !! I woke up freezing cold n looked out of the window n thought wow!! Its snowing.. heaps of snowflakes drifting by at high speed! Got my self changed, ready n left like 30 mins later.. just to find that it was still snowing!! But by then my "wow!" had become "oh no!" i have to walk in the freezing wind n snow to tutorial!! Not a good prospect... but anyway.. that was me armed with my umbrella nicely bundled up at 8.50am hehe -- forgot my gloves though so i had really really frozen fingers.... it felt so numb like i had stuck my hand in the freezer n left it there overnight :p

Anyway had a lot of lectures concerning reproduction lately..coz we're doing a reproduction, development and aging module. Managed to see the in vitro fertilisation part where they remove some sperm -- like it was just sucked up by a tube tail first!! and then injected into an egg which looked kinda squashed as they tried to poke it.. :p.. yeah.. n heaps of slides on sperm like telling us how to distinguish a good count, morphology(shape of its head :p) and motility(speed) -- kinda resembles heaps of tadpoles just swimming around... hehe -- quite interesting ...

Anatomy overload O.o

Had heaps of anatomy today.. like 2 labs this morning totalling 4 hours.. -_- .. had a real bad headache this afternoon too.... donno if its due to the kinda boring health economics lecture or maybe the over stuffy lecture theatre.. mmm.. felt kinda crap... although it seems for me a lot of things seemed to be cured by food :p.. after a happy meal.. i feel much better !

1st hurdle over... more to come!

Helo.... i'm here post-anatomy exam feels better to have it off my shoulders... but man i just feel tired........ kinda worn out somehow.... sigh... i didn't do a late night or anything..but i did managed to finish almost an entire block of Whittakers Almond Gold.. in the process of preparing.. i hope that doesn't add on to my waistline anytime soon :p

Nothing much i guess just so much anatomy these days... had anatomy lab after the test n then having 2 more labs tomolo n 1 more the day after! O.o i feel kinda appalled just thinking about it... especially since its all related to sexual organ anatomy ..'cough cough'.... so yeah... i don't really feel very inclined to touch the prosections too much :p

The quiet before the storm...

Anatomy test is just a day away! mmm...... scary.... its the need to study coupled with the desire to just fool around.. sigh... its really bad to be feeling any sort of complacency at this period in time... I need a motivation booster!!

"Trust in the Lord with you heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make you paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

$aTurd@y

Today is Saturday! The weekend at last.. can say i'm grateful but also can say i'm tired n i donno what i did with it.. my Sat is almost gone n i donno what productive thing i've done... arghhh... sometimes i'm too complacent for my own good ... Weekends tend to have the effect of killing most of my will to study n etc... plus i guess i'm kinda picky when studying.. need to be quiet n alone with everything at my fingertips..so i don't waste time hunting for notes or sthg .. sigh.....

but today Homegroup was fun.. hehe ... it was Ming's birthday n we had heaps of games n stuff.. mmmm... Its nice to just see everyone getting together n mingling n having fun :) although some of the things people do are a bit outrageous -- like tossing a person in the air? i'm glad i'm not the one being flipped :p

So yeah just praying for more concentration n motivation! And also a verse i read a couple of days back:

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6

Just reminded me of the need to trust n expect an answer when i pray coz God will answer!! Its just sometimes we forget about it or don't really care ..... And yeah i realised i have an answered prayer too :P didn't realise it was answered until i took a good look n thought oh yeah, it happened already........ hehehe

Approaching test times :(

Yes.. its that time of the year again when suddenly all the tests start piling up on u ! Argh..... i have mid years in like 2 weeks +, anatomy next week and the usual 2 computer tests !!! How is it everything seems to pile on when u r busy but when u r free it just seems to free? Anyway due to my kinda lack of motivation to study n constant procrastination, I found this verse pretty inspiring :

"Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after i have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." 1 Corinthians 9:26-27

:) hehe I know its a bit out of context since Paul was talking more about running the spiritual race but hey? It's like what i'm doing as well, i really need to get some focus and "beat my body and make it my slave" so that i won't be so lazy --- practice more self control n all :p It's kinda like saying u got to take control, get your act together and focus on what ur doing! So yeah ! Ganbatte!!

8am lecture ...zZZZZ

Hello again... ! Today was ok .. had an 8 o'clock lecture today O.o It was sooooo early.. when i woke up.. it was still pitch black outside which was kinda freaky and made me wanna stay in bed all the more.. :p... but managed to drag myself out (being the "good" student) n left the flat just in time to catch some lovely pink and red streaks across the horizon.. pity i wasn't around to see the sunrise...

Today was mainly about schizophrenia, had a break from 10am - 2pm.. though.. u would think that they would swap the 8am lectures for a bit later.. instead of having such a big gap.. sigh.. but thats the problem with streaming.....Managed to discover for some odd reason our phone can't call 0900 numbers hehe -- yes i know its a pretty useless bit of info unless u wanna call 0900...

We had out last lecture about appetative behaviours which were basically sexual behaviours n eating..... discovered the term "diet-induced obesity" hehe..coz it seems in US like a lot of kids have started dieting since around 9-10 years old n apparently most obese ppl have had some run in with dieting be4 .. put 2 and 2 together... obesity occurs due to the dieting as ppl tend to fluctuate from losing weight then gaining heaps back n losing again.. In the end the more u diet the better the body adapts at storing energy and therefore it stores more when u eat n thus u get fatter n fatter eventhough u eat less or the same amount --- interesting theory aye? hehe makes me think twice before considering dieting :p

"Eye" Day!

Yay ! its finally friday .. its the real thing too! Today had a bit of a late start at 11am.. but u know what? i kinda misread the timetable or sthg and assumed that i started at 10am and so woke up at 9+ and actually got all ready n walked like 20 steps from my flat be4 realising that something wasn't right n i actually checked my timetable... only to realise that i was 1 hour early >.< so decided to just go back :p --- mind u it was pretty cold and all so my flat seemed like a nice warm place.. since i was only a few seconds away :)

Had mainly an "eye" day..had like workshop on vision.. n was looking at bits of anatomy n blindness n looking inside an eye n stuff like that... One really funny slide our lecturer showed us was an eye of a person who had had eye surgery to replace the lens .. n the thing was u could see hte lens when u looked at the eye coz it had been mistakenly placed on the outside of the iris instead of behind it! So the person just wouldn't be able to see anything.. it was really funny sort off :P can't imagine wat the surgeon was thinking ... hehe.. When i think of it eye surgery is pretty delicate n quite scary since u gotta cut all properly n the eye is only that big ! mmmm donno how the surgeons can make all those neat little incisions to like cut out the cornea lift it up n take out the lens inside n then sew it back up again! its just miniscule!

After dinner watched part of Pacifier with my flatmates was kinda fun.. but had to leave half way coz of a meeting :'( which i arrived on time ! but only started like wat 1/2 - 3/4 of an hour late!!! Argghhhhhh Malaysian timing..

Anyway as always hoping for a relaxing weekend .. that doesn't pass by too fast so that i can actually know it happened and enjoy the rest coz my days are not getting any freer --- the downsides of med school.... ( as i'm sure Ruth is very much aware of :p)

Feels like FrIdAy already...

Ahh... it really feels like friday sad to say its just a trick my mind is playing on me and its actually thursday :p Today had a really early 9am lecture on pharmacology.. have to say that my brain was a bit dead n it didn't help to be sitting near the front of the class argh.... wats with all the streptokinase, tPA, clopidogrel and neuroprotective factors.. n wat not... i can't really remember how everything works anymore... O.o

After that had a visit to Leslie Groves up at Wakari. Quite nice i'd say.. i liked it better then the last time we went there :) Mainly just meeting some patients and talking and doing a full cranial nerve examination .. ehhe.. Afternoon had a system's integration case.. which involved some aspiring med 3 student walking around with a flashlight meeting some hypoglycaemic person or sthg.. n yeah..doing a check on pupillary dilation reflexes! hehe.. .. wonder how many ppl carry a flashlight around...

The day was ok i guess just wished that today was friday though.. i think i start a bit later tomolo hehe.. so can get a bit more sleep mmmm......

WeDnEsdAy

helo...
haven't been updating for a pretty long time n i know it.. i guesss sometimes just can't be bothered to log in and also the bad weather is really impinging on my internet!! It just goes down sometimes its just so annoying having to restart n do this n that arghhhh.... plus its been freezing cold..the flat is like a fridge.... but prob still warmer than outside .. :p n my room is my refuge.. mmmmm

haven't been studying much lately n just realized that i have an anatomy spot test in like 2 weeks n mid years in like 1mth... :-S ... i donno how i'm gonna survive.. esp with all the little computer tests laced in between....... mmmmmm... i really need to get serious about studying... and B&B 5 test this week looks real tough...

Oh well... things life just doesn't get any easier....

Poor mousey....

You know what? My mouse has died... it was working ok at first n then the red light started to blink.. and then it alternated between working and not working.. finally after a couple of days of tweaking it finally coughed, sputtered and gave up its ghost !!! NOOOoooo.... ---- By the way this is my USB computer mouse :'(

I hate not having a mouse around....

hmm... this is just purely random la... a pic of the view from my room window .......at least it's not a brick wall anymore like last year....:p 

Weekend....

Hmmm ... the day has been ok .. quite free.. ended up with like only 2 hours of lectures :p.. but all at really odd times like 11-12pm and 2-3pm... so yeah.. hehe..... can't say much for my weekend.... but the week has been reasonably good and i'm getting a pre-weekend bout of laziness.. my anime collection is nicely expanding :p.. Currently going for DNAngel and Tactics :) hehe... have some Mai Hime, AIR and Final Approach too.. although the thing is i haven't really watched most of them.. hehe they're just accumulating themselves :p...

oh well.. hope to have a good weekend and to keep more in focus lor.. with studies and with God too. And good weather would be a nice change :)

"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." Psalm 118:8

Haven't had a pic up for a long time now! So yeah just for fun.. here's 3 feet... hehe now can anyone guess whose feet is whose? n what the shoe sizes are .. hehe as u can see there is a pretty obvious trend... *hint *hint :) 

Alone.....

Sometimes i wonder what it means to be alone? Sometimes you just stand in a crowded room n everyone rushes past.. the world is spinning with colours and activity and yet you are not moving. You are alive, you're breathing and yet you feel detached. In this world full of lights n sounds it is like a bystander taking a peek through a glass window , to the other side. You are so close yet so far- separated by an unseen barrier. It is like the air that you cannot see but you feel it and you know its there because your very existence is proof of that. But the loneliness is hampering... the buzz of life is muted and distorted into a big blur as it just whizzes past. Time does not wait for you. If you fall in this big bad world, you pick yourself up. If you do not u are left behind in the mad rush to go forward--- forward where? no one knows... even if the future is a big unknown we still rush blindly into it hoping for something better because it just can't get any worse, or can it? Maybe somehwere we condition ourselves to the world. To just accept and adapt as best as we can. Like how Pavlov conditioned his dogs to consider painful stimuli as pleasure. Its just a matter of conditioning... and practice..... conforming or maybe adaptation sounds much better?

It's like survival of the fittest. You never knew how dark and lonely it was out there until you stepped out of the comforting reccesses of your home. And yet is anyone ever truly alone? Because there will always be someone waiting for you, even if you do not know it, family, friends... I think thats where God comes in too... Because somewhere I remember He promises "..And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."(Matthew 28:20) Also "Come near to God and he will come near to you." (James 4:8) Thus i can infer that He is there for us always but in order to get comfort we need to draw near to Him too. Its a 2-way thing... loneliness maybe is just a state of mind...coz how can a person be truly lonely unless they choose to isolate themselves? .... and maybe i think too much................ ---- can't help it if i like complicating the little things of life :p

Soooo tired....

Yay! I'm updating again..... (i'm surprised too :p ) probably coz i'm feeling quite perky now since i managed to do my computer test n pass it ..coz i was kinda busy last night..had a flatmates VERY "belated" birthday --- as in like 3 mths late? hehe... and man it was so funny.. like she kept saying "I'm confused!" coz some of her friends sneaked into our flat n all n were trying to play a little trick on her. Ahh.. i have some pics too..hmmm.. where should i put them?

Hehe... anyway i think i'm pretty exhausted.. but happily exhausted :p.. hehe... coz i had to study for the test last night.. n ended sleeping real late..coz i realised at like 12am or sthg that i hadn't finished studying!!.. i tend to get distracted easily -_- hai hai... such a bad habit...

To top it up, today was a pretty long n boring day too. For one things its 9am-4pm. ... n the computer test is at 4.15pm... We had a patient talk to us about suicide which i found really really touching. Its amazing how common suicide is in NZ apparently like youth suicide is among the highest in the world!!! Why that is so is not really known.. but it has been attributed to like social isolation(NZ is quite rural :p), lack of support, the lattitude? ( winter blues ~~) n i wonder if maybe just sheer boredom from a lack of nothing better to do .. hehe... And one very interesting point was that sometimes people don't really wanna die.. its just that at that point in time they just lost all reasonable thought. So I guess this suggests like depression or some psychiatric disorder. And its just the times when people just briefly get to drowned in their grief n depression that they don't care about anything else -- family, consequences etc. And also men have higher rates of "successful" suicides then women... n they are also incidents of parasuicide where the person doesn't really wanna die but just wants to attract attention or ask for help... like swallowing 30 paracetamol n then calling someone up...Bizarre in a way though i think..coz its a pretty high risk way to get attention n wat if something backfires? hmmmm.. But i guess it was very enlightening n though i don't really like the idea i guess sometimes people just aren't in a proper state of mind when they do it.. so its unlikely that a proper rational person would do it. I guess the human mind is just tooo complicated :p

Early week...

Ok .. just a quick lunch time-y type drop in.. hehe just wanted to check out hte blog n lo n behold there are msges ! :p. hehe... thanx angela... Had a pretty free day today... only one lecture at 9am... n guess wat it was.... abt... --- normal sexual function -_- I don't feel so good after listening to some pretty dodgy stuff.. ( to me anyway..) so early in the morning... i think my brain was like going eek!! --let's not go into details now.... :p

Other than that its ok .. the weather is looking up! hehe... n also did i mention that i tried some Lindt chocs the other day? they were on sale at COuntdown.. I have to say they were fabulous.. totally sooooo yummmy!! Lindt is the best !! Although it was pretty expensive lor.. even if it was on sale :p...

anyway... better get a move one... not a good thing to spend my day staring at the computer screen... ciao!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today's mother's day! hehe .. not that i have much to say about that hmmm.... coz my mum's not here :( But i hope she has a great Mother's day anyway. Today is the start of a new week..... --- its really amazing how my weekend disppeared in the flash of an eye!! :'( I made pancakes on Saturday morning for lunch/breakfast! It was kinda fun.. n a bit unusual since having pancakes with ice cream n yogurt n fruits gives my stomach this weird cold feeling! But i've just discovered how amazingly easy they are to make!! Only like 4 ingredients.. never knew that hehe...

The weather hasn't been much good lately.. which is kinda bad.. coz i can't do my laundry... don't wanna move out of my nice room :p... n no way am i gonna open the windows ...!! Although as with the onset of cold weather my window does its usual fogging up --- drip drip!.... So annoying...i can't put anything next to the window now coz it just gets soaked .. esp paper ;) n i think it promotes some moldy stuff too... hehe.....wat can i say winter is coming -- blame it on the season and hope for many more sunny days to come...

Camp + ice skating update!

Hello!
I'm back! We went to Waihola camp on Friday n got back on Sunday!!..Had a few days to recuperate .. :p.... It was great !! Heaps of yummy msian food n fun n games.... plus great speakers... giving me some food for thought... :P...Mainly just updating here to say that i have put the pics from camp onto photobucket.. (just click title for link) password is the same abc ... n also we went ice skating today!!! I couldn't really skate much >.< ... but it was still fun... just trying real hard to skate forwards not backwards n keeping my balance at the same time... :) Have to say that i was stuck to the side 90% of the time .. but hopefuly i'll be better the next time ! Pics for that are up too........

Friday!

Hehe... nothing much to babble on about .. today is friday end of the week.. will be going off to camp later on so hope its gonna be good!!! Hehe the weather has been real nice n sunny so it really gets ur mood up... can't say i've been doing much just sent a letter n walked around town? :p... Probably won't be seeing me online for a while.. but hopefully there'll be heaps of pics when i get back :p.. ----- n thats one week of my holidays gone....

Holiday.... fun... yet a tad dull!

I'm now on holiday!! hmm but most of my friends still have classes so its a tad dull i have to say... You would have thought that i would be posting more. .. but then my life is pretty uneventful.... so nothing much to say? hehehe... Well one good thing would be that i finished making my scarf!! Yay!! Its been taking me ages.. but i can't quite finish up coz i have lost a needle that i use to thread in the edges... n make hte tassels... ---- so annoying.. n i wanted to buy one but i couldn't find it at the shops.. --- out of stock!! :(

But today was good.. went out shopping in the afternoon n did a lot of wandering around with RUth!! hehe nice to get out of the cold of my flat n move around a bit.. although the weather wasn't too good.... but better to be out n moving then inside n freezing :p. ... Guess thats all for now.......

Outside otago museum.. --- very autumn! 

More pictures.....

Hello another big pic update... The more recent ones are the one taken outside Otago Museum! Its really nice showing the lovely colours of autumn hehe :) n also some more pics from cindy/iris' b-day bash! :) http://photobucket.com/albums/y108/euniqueflower2/ pass = abc

Currently its the start of my 2 week mid-semester break!!! yay!!!! So glad that its finally the holidays! I guess at the moment i'm kinda having a spiritual high from the beginning of the week n i'm just riding the wave out.. Hope that it doesn't die away :) Have been facing some inner struggles n stuff still coz i guess eventhough i've decided to let God be the focus of my life there are still things that tempt me into doing stuff that i know i shouldn't be doing ....This is when i really find Psalm 119:11 particularly encouraging :

"I have hidden your word in my heart that i might not sin against you."

Keeping in mind that the Bible is our ultimate guidebook on life!

Hehe .. i guess this is a good start ! I realize that i have a pretty short attention span as it is.. if i don't concentrate i can sometimes find myself drifting off when someone is talking.. i find myself doing that sometimes in lectures and stuff... So i guess in order to accomplish something i need to keep my focus right and hopefully I will not fall back over time..

Hello again.. just another note.. i have put up some more pics from cindy n iris' birthday on photobucket... a lot of them are very blur ""-_- n so i'm not so keen on putting much up.. but i'll slowly select n update this section bit by bit..:)
 

Hello.. just another pic update.. since i can't be bothered to write much .. why not just post a pic ? hehe :)  

Almost everyone from our flat (+flat PR=Cindy :p) at Lone Star for dinner.... But, Jane is holding the camera, unfortunately --- Argh!!!Jane get in there!

Good week so far :)

This week has been quite good to me so far! Noting too stressful... reasonably comfortable work load the prospect of midterm break is really encouraging! Also i guess feeling all positive coz i managed to sort some stuff that i've been worrying about for quite a long time with God! It makes me feel kinda "free-er" sort of, as if a burden has been lifted of me !And I wonder why didn't i do this earlier ? hmmmmmm....... I guess this is from casting my burdens into God's hands and instead of trying to do everything by myself (as if i can anyway... ) its just so much easier to depend on God n know that He will never let you down !

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Hehe seems that maybe i'm a bit overboard with this "happy happy" thing but isn't it good to be happy? ;)

The sun shines oh so bright
The blue of the sky ever so light,

It all seems much clearer,
Or has my eyesight gotten sharper?

Somewhere something has changed,
Deep inside a barrier is shattered,

The shards of glass glint and reflect,
The wonder of this day so perfect,

For the dark has come to light,
And the tears shed are not of sorrow.

"If we deliberately keep sinning after we have received the knowledge of truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgement and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."
Hebrews 10:26-27

Dreary day...

Hello! Today's saturday, the start of my lovely weekend. Unfortunately the weather doesnt seem too good ... hmmm but thats ok :p haven't been doing much today.. just some vacuuming (probably woke my flat up :P) marketing grocery shopping.. n yeah relaxing my afternoon away. Couldn;t really be bothered to move out of the flat coz its really so gloomy outside... grey sky .. heaps of clouds.. the occasional seagull... but i'm thankful that its not too cold in here.. .. seems so quiet n deserted for some reason... (where is everyone hiding? )

MMmmm thats getting me all depressed now.. (talk about the weather reflecting ur mood) The week has been good.. not too hectic fairly relaxed, slow paced with quite a lot of time to catch my breath in between. And heaps of birthdays n stuff around here n there.. seems like hte time to party!Goodness me i'm rambling!!!!

but since i haven't written for a while .. i'll just take this time to practice my decaying literary skills hehe.. Had quite a few patients in to our lectures on Friday. It was actually pretty interesting seeing patients with motor problems n speech problems resulting from damage to parts of the brain, cerebellum, spinal cord.. hehe just tells us how complex this mush of sphagetti in the brain really is! Well i guess just hopign for a fairly relaxed weekend to rest up n do some catch up work since i'm quite behind in some tests n stuff...

Real Post

Hehe ok , a real post at last :p.. n also to note that i have put up pics from our easter sunday potluck + some pics taken at uni n botanical gardens.. hope its accessible..

So yeah, about my day.. hehe quite a busy day 9-5pm but i manged to do one computer test SI6 n passed!! Yay !! ( hehe i just had to boast ) I think yesterday being a total day off due to cancelled stuff just made me so refreshed n less sleepy then usual hehe ! but off to a more busy time of the week now so better brace myself! Anyway hoping for a good week n more opportunities to spend more time with God... (since i've been really slacking off due to the bussy-ness) ciao~~

hehe just a teaser ----- pic of everyone at our flat during Iris/Cindy's b-day celebration ! I haven't put the rest of this up yet but some other pics from easter are up...

Anway, the weather today was really weird! One moment i woke up all warm n happy thanking God for the great sun! n a few hours later its raining like crazy? -_-''' hehe but still thank GOd for the rain too :p I didn't have much today which was a good thing especially after Iris' n Cindy's b-day celebration last night ! (crowd cheers) hehe .... watch out for more pics ;)

Sequel...

Hehe... hello i'm back again.. after a long long time.. :p.. yes.. i'm so sorry.. i just got my internet connected at my flat finally on 31/3 !! Yay!! n yeah have been kinda busy with 8'o clock lectures!! thurs friday.. argh.. so tiring.. n yeah today is officially Cindy's Birthday!!! Happy Birthday! n tomolo is Iris'!!hehe... anyway u may have noticed that my title is sequel.. n ur wondering why's that? hehe... well its coz if u look back u may remember the little story abt the girl rolling down the hill? Well for part 2 the girl told her friend another story about a month or so later... It was about 3 girls who went tramping up a mountain. The ground was wet n slippey n covered with mud. Suddenly the top girl slipped n fell, crashing into the girl below her who in turn fell onto the 3rd girl. All ending up in a heap at the bottom of the hill. Her friend was wide-eyed with amazement and enquiring on how much it hurt. The girl had been laughing from the beginning to the end of the story was astounded. At the end, a confession was in line..... Doesn't that make it 3 times in a row? Its amazing how innocently naive the girl's friend was. Well lets keep our fingers crossed as we await part 3 of the story .. if it is to occur again :p

Passing time like falling leaves...... another day has past...

Another day is coming to an end.. can't say that there is much although today i only had around 2 lectures! yay!! but ended up running around doing some immigration stuff n uni stuff.. oh well... at least can get another 1/2 hour or so of extra sleep! :) Better enjoy my free days while i still have them.. tomolo is not gonna be as free.. thats for sure..:p I guess just take each day as it comes and always keep looking forward to a bright future! :) (~~~I think i'm in a good mood esp with so much rest n not much work :P - all play n less work makes me a happy person !)

Back to skool....

Hehe... back in Dunedin, can't say i'm too pleased to be back but i guess since everything is starting to get settled it's not too bad :p.. busy as usual.. (comes with the course :p) Bad weather as well, today esp. rain-sun-rain-sun... arghh....... sooo annoying.. typical 4 seasons in one day..Where did all the warm days of summer go?

Nothing much going on now except that a major setback would be that we have no internet n no tv... :( so sad...so yeah.. i'm stuck trudging dedicatedly to the library most of the time when i'm free.. sigh.. but i guess checking email n keeping up to date is a neccesity hehehe... oh well just thought i'd write something to keep this little blog alive ! even if its just all mindless crap n ramblings :)

Lalalalla ~~~~ lilalalala.....~~~~~~

The girl n the hill....

Once upon a time, there was a girl who told her friend about two girls walking down a hill. One of the girls pushed the other girl and she went rolling down the hill until she reached the bottom. Everyone had a good laugh n all was fine. The next year, the friend asked the girl which hill was it that the girl was pushed down? The friend looked at her oddly and said "Can a person actually roll down a hill? If I were to push someone down they would go splat n not roll down." The friend thought about it n agreed. "She would have to be a ball to roll down the hill afterall", she said. --------

So then? wat was the moral of the story? Hehe... don't believe ur friend when she tries to fool u the first time with a farfetched tale. And if u really believe her n the joke is out.. don't be tricked again the next year :p For those who know .. well let it be our secret.. for those who don't know.. read it a few more times n figure it out :p esp considering "can a person actually roll down a hill?"

Anyway this is my first updates since coming back to good ol' dunny..!! its really warm suprisingly although i have been very busy n i don't have an internet connection yet so it is a bit of a bother to always use uni facilities.. anyway i have a photo update from the steamboat we had at Alastair's place!!Yay!!!:) http://photobucket.com/albums/v336/euniqueflower pass = abc

Choc Milkshake!!!!! 

Mmm.... looks yum? This is the milkshake that i concocted with our blender and a few simple ingredients... added with a lovely champagne glass n some photo editing! And bam!!! we've got one yummy milkshake!! haha.. (couldn't help but show off... :p) 

Happy Chinese New Year!

Away with all that sad stuff...!! Time to welcome in a new year -- chinese style!! yay!!... Had a good start.. heaps of fireworks---they fall like rain, the smoke n dirt that come after really put to waste all that CNY spring cleaning!!..makes u forget that they are illegal though?! but then i don't think anyone cares at all...

I guess this is another chance to start of my new year.. again.. :p.. properly since i think the resolutions have long been forgotten!.. although i still don't wanna go back... ''''waaaaaa!!! :'( Yes yes... i'm blabbering again.. should i write some thick philosophical stuff to bring everyone into deep contemplation? .... NOT... haha ... I guess not much improvement.. intellectually :p Happy Chinese New Year!!!

oh n hehe just be4 i forget had another pic update.. so do check out the photobucket...just some pics of us Sibu ppl at Sherlyn's place... :p

------ :(

Argh!!!!!!! I did it again.. accidently cut the back of my foot when i was outside...! sooooo annoying... now i feel like "orang cacat" since i don't wanna move to much coz the cut will reopen!!! Man it looks so bloody it even scared my mum :p.. but actually its just a not so big cut la.. but it sure bleeds a lot... ~~~can't go shopping tonight.. :(

Hello! new update here..!! added some pics form Angela's visit to Sibu on photobucket http://photobucket.com/albums/v336/euniqueflower pass = abc

~...~...~...~...

Seems that my life has become really boring... I spend my time sleeping, eating.. bugging people... n when it gets unbearable.. i go online.. Lately i've really gotten into korean manwha(ie. korean comics)... haha I know i've always been a fan of Japanese manga (Jap comics) but i just thought i'd get a change.. and it all started when i read Hot blooded woman by Mi Ri Whang.. really weird, funny..very long n complicated story... was 24 volumes of hard work man!!! But somehow .. i liked it ... although i've been told her works are mostly similar once u've read one. .. but i guess that was hte only one... now have been popping over to janimes, trapnest n korean-movies more often.. just to pick up some new manga.. (now u know where to go :P)-------I guess this is what seriously bored people do.... looking back life really sux.... !!

Carey, Chute, me n Sherlyn.. having a little get together at the tea house.. :) 

Little pic update..

Hi! Just a little update to say that i've added 4 new pics to my photobucket.. http://photobucket.com/albums/v336/euniqueflower/ pass=abc

Lately , i seem very accident prone... mmm.. thinking back i burnt my finger while cooking sugar the other day...(n i still have the blister!!! argh after so long...) had that stupid car accident.... still have bruise from taking blood on my arm from like weeks ago... argh!!! n i bumped myself on the edge of the table yesterday... Is there something wrong here.... or have I just become a klutz..... :p

In retrospect, a lesson to learn ....

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay", says the Lord."
Romans 12:17-20

My 1st accident... :( ~~~boo hooo

Sigh... the joy of my newly aquired full licensed clouded by an untimely event!! Now, I will always remember this date....15/1/05 Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.. Argh!!! Somehow or another i managed to scratch... n when i say scratch i mean very slighyly bump until a bit of paint comes off ... when i was driving in the super crowded road in town..(near the market :p) And what do u know? I just had to meet with the most horribly intolerant and most blatantly unreasonable couple ever!!!! arghhhhhhhh... Just because of that had to waste a heap of a lot of money coz the screaming woman just wouldnt accept any repairs.. other htan a total replacement of a supposedly "brand-new" bumper... !!!!!! Some QSK Kenari.. hmph!! sigh n also I guess this is considered a lesson to me to be more careful because no matter how right u are ... they are still annoying people htat refuse to bend to any reason ... she was practically yelling.. either u pay or i call the cops.. And of course with my new license.. my parents didn't really wanna risk it.. so yeah..

But i guess after blowing off my temper i feel a bit better.. but still if anyone is to ever ask me about it!!! argh.. i wanna drag them off to the police station or just get a big stick n whack them senseless!!!! I don't care if u are "samseng" or not.. ... !! The more rude u r the angrier i get...!!! In retrospect though i guess this is the part that i need to control... coz life is hardly ever fair n if u consider Jesus dying on the cross to save all of us sinners.. it was totally not fair at all!! But then...... as christians we still do wat we can as each one shall receive their due rewards in heaven based on their faithfulness (~~hehe this mornings sermon.. ) So yeah.. better not blabber too much.. just need to blow some steam off.. since this has been like a very popular discussion topic among my parents.. n i got to say i feel really bad for it.. plus it really ruins my no accident record !! (sob*sob) I guess just let bygones be bygones and remember everyone drive carefully!!!! even a tiny scratch in the hands of a ruthless woman is a scary thing...

2005!

2004 has past .. all too quickly and now we're faced with a brand new year!!! Seems all nostalgic although in actual fact i think the 31st n 1st seemed like any old day to me :P.... Probably coz there wasn't much to do .. n was just stuck with the usual chore-like duties.. But for this New Year my resolution will be to make it much better than the last! haha! (kinda lame hor?)

Anyway on a more interesting note.. went to Mukah on Sunday to visit Angela! It was great! hehe... In short, plenty of talking.. very little sleeping.. n heaps of black eyes.. haha! The products of our trip consist of a bunch of photos on photobucket.. some real funny face clips (http://www.geocities.com/eunique_lyc/Funny_face.htm) n lots of keropok!! And if u've seen the pics u will know that someone really sleeps a lot !! mmm n in all sort of weird positions too :P.... also really must see the FUNNY faces.. coz they are seriously STUPID... haha..

Merry Christmas!!

Exam blues - issues of time management...

Hello.... just gonna make this fairly quick.. :p.. I have not been able to update my blog for an age.. it seems i keep getting stuck in the loading process somehow ... so soooorry... for not being around.. and here's a pic from Jonathan's farewell BBQ hehe ..... it was great n prob gonna load some more pics up onto photobucket http://photobucket.com/albums/v336/euniqueflower/ password "abc" as usual...

Also this is really starting to be a very busy time for me... exams are around the corner... argh!! sooo scary.. esp since i have like one years stuff to cover .. all in this final exams... been fairly sleepy lately.. i remember dozing off while figuring out which nerve innervates which part of your forearm.. median nerve, ulnar nerve... ?? n what actually happens due to nerve damage? hehe.. well hopefully i'll know better after this :p Time mangement issues? basicly study more.... n less of all the other "useless" stuff.. (like updating my blog :p)

Sleepy day...

hello.. its saturday!!.. hehe had a late night yesterday coz we celebrated Sze's 21st!! hehe.. although technically we're like a week plus early.. :p.. but then.. coz its so close to exams so we kinda made it earlier... it was heaps of fun :p.. n got to take heaps of video clips.. hehe....

yeah.. other than that been quite slack today.. other than going to market ... i think maybe i slept too much? n somehow i've seemed to have developed an annoying sore throat!! argh!!!... i don't like it one bit...

anyway.. just hoping for a nice peaceful restful weekend n hten back to study study.. :p

A new week.. has come......

Weekend was great .. :p.. hehe homegroup had great games on saturday night.. i especially like the trusting one... hehe where like u kinda like just fall down ( well like lean backwards with ur legs straight?)... n u gotta trust ur frenz to catch u .... pretty scary experience.. :p.. felt sorry for those ppl catching though....since i'm so heavy haha!.. :p..

Anyway.. a new week has started.... :(.. which kinda means one week closer to exams.. but then.. one week closer to freedom :) - gives me mixed feelings....hehe.. but i guess just try my best.. hopefully i'll pass the exams!!.. then can't wait to get back home!!!!!! mmmmm.... missing all the people back home.... n the yummy food....... hehe.. ok STOP.... gotta get back to the current reality.... ...

Hello! I am back :p

hehe.. i think its been a long time since i last wrote... :p maybe 2 weeks? well.. i guess things just turned out busier than expected n didn't take any more silly pics to put up.. hehe... so yeah... my week has been good i guess.. with the work piling up towards Friday!!!... always.... so annoying.. n also had some pre - exam freaking out ... hehe.. its like think of exams in one month.. think of wat u have to study.. add the two up = stress...!!!!!....

Oh well i guess nothing other than to just keep pushing on n yeah just pray n hope for the best ... also its daylight savings this weekend so will be losing one hour of my precious time!!!....and although theoretically its spring... but the weather has gone all bizarre? like today i went out dressed lightly coz it was so nice n sunny...but then it was actually pretty chilly coz of the COLD winds... n coming back it just started raining? .. n the rained stopped like after i got back... n then it was sunny again...???talk about many seasons in a day... hehe

anyway hope that i can wake up tomorrow lor.. coz i'm off to the market.. hehe for my weekly food supply!!... hehe
