squirmish

squirmish

In 12 hours, i will be having my presentation examination and the thought of it is making me squirmish:(

Having a massive headache for the whole day (which i think is stress-related), and what's worse, my head seems like it has an impermeable helmet around it because nothing that i have tried to memorise for tomorrow's presentation is getting into my head.

Okay time for some nerve-soothing john mayer + jack johnson + corinne bailey rae cocktail therapy.

fyp update

On this coming thursday, i will be having my final year project academic poster presentation. My poster has been nicely printed out (will show you guys once the presentation is over) and i just had a presentation rehearsal with my lab colleagues today.

It has been a frustrating but enriching experience for the past one year. In fact, i think i have changed a little, hopefully more confident and independent in whatever i do. Oh, and i also have gained a few pounds, which probably explains why i look so frumpy recently.

I have yet to complete my thesis which is due next thursday. Hopefully, i can get the first draft done soon even if it means sacrificing the long holiday weekend. It's the last lap, and i am sure all my friends are struggling in the waters like me. But nevertheless, we will eventually survive and look back one day, thinking to ourselves "I will never want to do this ever again."

Time to go to the kitchen and get that yummy mango/passion fruit ice cream from Häagen-Dazs.

again

Again the same person that has re-entered and exited previously, has again re-entered my life.

It's really strange how that gnawing feeling returns back whenever you least expect it.

looming ahead

looming ahead

Looming ahead are the dreaded deadlines for my research poster presentation and dissertation:(

I spent the entire day attempting to familiarize myself with the elements in adobe photoshop, which i have forgotten completely after neglecting it for four years. So with lots of incessant clicking here and there, i finally managed to get the basic skeleton of my poster completed :)

And today was the first day in many months that i have actually spent an entire weekday at home. It's a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle in school and i felt totally at ease and relaxed while working on this supposedly stressful assignment. In fact, i enjoyed ooh-ing and aah-ing at the effects as i explored ps with my random clickings.

zapped

zapped

I recently have been encountering a problem with my macbook pro whenever i'm charging it as i'm working on an assignment.

I get zapped all the time. I mean, the zapped feeling could range from small little tingling sensations to unexpected sharp bolts shooting up my hand. I reckon it's due to the statics or something that is coming from the aluminum surface of my rest pad that my hands come in contact with.

Pardon me if this theory is wrong because i was never good at physics.

biomedical science boomz

biomedical science boomz

If you haven't been in singapore for the past few months, you may not understand the meaning of 'boomz' but it has been THE WORD ever since our dear Miss Singapore (or runner-up? i lost track) Ris Low. Anyway, jokes aside, i was pretty pleased to read on today's papers on how the biomedical sciences industry in singapore has decided to open up 1.600 jobs once it grows 5% to 10% this year. Despite the mention of the bulk of these jobs going to the foreigners, i feel that the job market has improved significantly as compared to its stagnant state a year back. It is comforting to know that everything is coming back into place, and being a biomedical sciences major, it is even more comforting that the country has plans in expanding the biomedical sciences industry.

Interestingly, i haven't realized how good a choice i have made in choosing this path back in my freshman years. Sure, the first and second year of university work was boring and mundane, with complex concepts on biochemistry and molecular cell biology. But as i moved up the higher levels i got to apply all these supposedly boring, sleep-inducing concepts into more application-based modules such as immunology and toxicology.

Am currently studying on drug discovery and clinical drug trials, and what i love about this module is the previous studies already run and we are required to provide analyses,

The abrupt closing of this entry was due to a severe concussion which lasted for 7 hours. The residual effects of the concussion is hindering me from blogging a proper closing to this entry. Please pardon me.

We were heading for class one morning and as we were climbing up the stairs, i noticed a girl in front of us was wearing very droopy shorts. They were so droopy i could see things that shouldn't be shown in public. What was worse was that the group i was walking with was predominantly made up of guys, and so i had to try to divert their attention away.

Awkwardness @.@

A happy sunday guys:) 

Sorry for not being active with my blogging but schoolwork has taken over my life for now. 

This "sunday finds" column is really a chance for me to take a breather from my hectic schedule, and read a little more about the lives of these people whom these extraordinary images belong to.
