its been a long time.....
using busy as an excuse
lousy meiy~
so petr is happily in love :D happie
and of course enjoying alr..her exams are over! so darn fast ^.^
hope gpa increase widely!!
bdae celebration jan16. date booked! quite excited hoho
and dear alice
blogged some rather interesting stuff...
so i shall reply by...
the alice i noe is definitely not repulsive.and quite hard to get angry with :p
and no matter how much a person change..at the end of the day, u will still be who you're deep down. why will a person want to be someone else? when its what u are that attracts ur frenz and not some superficial fako ^.^ everyone has their own unique and distinct traits..why bother to change and worse still change to such an extent of losing his/her-self..
just some thoughts :]
kkies
so i just wrote an email to my prof informing her the STUPID mistake that i've made..
heart beat very fast
its like i'm testing her patience -_-
oh wells~
verdict out tmrw
will be draggin myself to sch tmrw lol
so what happened?
meiy misread the chemical name on the bottle so she started off with a wrong target cpd.
how brilliant...
meaning that the work done from mon till now..
is rather useless..down the drain~
and what's annoying is that i read it on two occasion and on both occasion..i thought it was the right one..sharks! one alphabet difference means alot!! methyl and ethyl -_-
anws..did learn quite a number of things..like the oven at 400oc and 'gentle stream of nitrogen'...
on the lighter tone...
met deph
went tpy
koi drink..deph's treat :)
stickers+cards spree
pasar malam is always a good place to top up my sticker collections
bought cards again.. sudden interest in pop up cards..skilled art.
and deph and meiy both bought one cross stitch each to do :D
hopefully we complete it soon haha
felt better after a not so good fyp day..
the loot for the 'day'~
hoho deph bought stickers too..
both equally kiddish

so i was wondering when the sticker craze started in meiy..
figured its under my mum's influence..since she keeps stickers for us while we're young and paste it very artistically too PLUs i received a sticker collection set;Sandy Lion (a rather branded sticker tt time..not sure now) in pri sch days. so there it starts..mickey mouse.winnie the pooh and the sudden craze in wang wang's stickers...or even the maggie food hoho...
but nowadays very few furry stickers le..or even glow-in-the-dark....
enjoyable~
some words are left stucked in my throat..
very uncomfy :S
but it happens
i've learn the meaning of "ai wu ji wu"
like really significantly..
beginning to fathom it
hmm...
oh and before i forget... deph was very nice and sweet to look for the OSTs for the two dramas that i'm currently watching [IRIS and You're Beautiful]..and its quite a number of it. so nice :D
but i've to agree that IRIS's ones are rather scary lol... its all those tension music haha
so yeps transferred to my thumbdrive alr. whee..... tho this com's speaker got prob -_-
but somehow it trigger some thoughts. sadly pleasant.
at {12:04 AM}
so din meet deph for breakfast and dinner..
both due to fyp -_-
super paiseh sigh....bad.
this time into the 2nd part of the proj..a lady is helping me out and she prefer mornings so got to rush to sch since dun want to trouble her tt much tho i think i did but nvm..meiy needs to be thick skin :p then the mtd involves this part of 'drop-wise' and it seriousy drop drop drop..till like after 2+ hours, its still drop drop drop...rah! so ended at 6+pm...like everyone almost leaving le..rooms locked and blah blah...
So,
today did detection of target cpd + some housekeeping.
i sld think my fyp exp is pretty amusing cos mop floor, ckean table, now also clean cupboards haha to make space for my own workspace. whee.....
so tmrw will be the verdict... running thru the mass spec and if NO peak..i can go eat shit liao haha.. try harder again lor -_-
But,
the membrane issue is still not solved. rah!
we shall see how..
may lady luck befalls me.
sigh going to sch = lesser drama to watch
my hols will just be liddat how arh? :(
lol
was dozing off in a standing position in the train lol
can't help it and then... 5msgs received.

at {11:07 PM}

You're Beautiful/You're Handsome
Latest korean drama. 16ep. ending this week thurs(or is it fri?)!
A rather typical plot of gal disguising as a guy to be in the band..
substituting her bro for one month due to some accident...and the one month sure feels looonnggg. :x and on top of that.. she was walking into her path of nun but suddenly everything changes..
cute~
Pretty addictive cos they are all so cute muahaha and different type/level of cute
and they sure can sing well :)
and i like the male lead - Hwang Tae Kyung (act by Jange Geun Suk)
his style of dressing very cool...quite different from his original or the other roles he played before. and the way he call "goh mi nan" in a peculiar tone - cute! and he 'pout' his lips - cute!
haha overall cute! esp when he smile..so innocent looking muahaha
overall relaxing show to watch. nice songs to listen. funny and pleasantly pleasing to the eyes :p

Wonder what's the next drama that will replace this?
This drama belongs to SBS and not KBS.. sort of competing with IRIS, i think or so..my friend says :)
meiy is more familiar with KBS website rather than SBS which is alil urms..messy haha
list of drama to watch...
hongkong - 巾幗梟雄. only read the synopsis then it seems they gonna have part 2 but different setting, cool... i like 鄧萃雯 !
korea - 張花紅蓮/love and obssession 150ep., 男人的故事/Slingshot. 20ep, Hotblood 20+ep. seems pretty interesting..still airing. Reversal of fate..think still airing
- for epic drama: 善德女王/Queen Seon Duk 62ep. and Kingdom of Wind 36ep.
so yah lots to watch!! hha
so 2nd week of FYP.. detection of NDMA method.
its not going to be an easy one since there are some stuff whch are different from the stated one -_- but fortunately it seems that Xiaona will take over this proj aft my fyp so hoho..can ask her some qn :D she's currently working on MTBE.
today was pretty new...
toxic NDMA + flammable methanol.
got to sign in their chemical log book... makes the whole feeling so serious. lol
weighed 17mg of NDMA which is like less than a drop -_-''' seems so wrong lol
did a minor calculation wrong lol. fortunately she double checked...
then finally figure out how to dilute the standards to the relevant ppm and ppb.
but then half of the time..i'm like going round kopping other pple's apparatus.
pipette. pipette tips. beaker. container. blah blah..
lol fortunately did urop before so rather familiar with the whereabouts of some apparatus.
but its been a long time since i see Dr Park. Wonder how he is ???
so anws it sld be more interesting using the MS to get the relevant peaks :D cool~
but my MF still got problem. sigh!!!
the permeate is at dropwise super dotz! when every sampling sld be done at least 2L collection..
then Xiaolan say next week she going holidays!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????? shit man! haha
oh wells~
so met deph for dinner + alil walking ard/shopping
JP.Admiralty Hill.Northpoint.
4hrs or so :D
quite good planning
but the walk up the hill tho short but pretty scary..since its alil dark.
but all's well~
had fun.
din take any photo again :(
rather camera shy but i like to take photos..lol am i making any sense here? no.
planned to go to macritchie soon
then jewel box xmas celebration seems rather attractive :D see if got money anot.. hoho
oh and i met Jasmine and her half :)
so unexpected
and i was standing in front of her and not seeing her
faints. blind meiy.
good to see her :D
and now its 1.50am -_-
the plan was to read thesis but i busy msn and blogging lol
diao~
at {12:57 AM}
so the stars are out tonight
twinkling in the sky
plenty of them
pretty!
its been cloudy for the past few nights..
and u can actually spot 'pics' in them
just the other day, i spotted a face with a bushy eyebrow smiling at me :)
then ytd, i saw a side view of a lady with a big hat..
so yah depends on ur own perspective but its pretty fun to spend time just admiring the clouds and forming pics with it..
the leisure of having seemingly much time
but of course i dun
just dun have the discipline to sit in front of the com and read literatures
but i was in luck! i manage to find the CORRECT literature for my fyp muahaha
tho it doesn't have detailed parameters but a clearer pic is drawn up now
kkies so fyp today din went tt well
again, leaking and mopping.cleaning have to be done lol
but learning thru mistake...
fortunately i onli use tap water and not the secondary effluent
or else what a waste
hmm...was thinking abt the amount of paper that i waste just to suck up the water
so tmrw.. i will be equipped with big towels! must ask my mum for it.
so some rather dumb question i ask today out of desperation...
1. how do i switch on my set up? (i was searching for the different wires to see where it lead but i jsut have to miss out the one on the side.. so when the postgrad came and switch it on..i felt so dumb -_-)
2. when i manage to run the whole system including the cooler.. i saw a brown stream flowing out of the cooler tube. Super stunned and scared cos it means that contamination has taken place or the rust has leak out which i thought i flushed it out alr -_- in the end it was just the tubings came out so the water from the cooler din enter into the coil but leak out into the feed tank :( sianz la... and chandra was laughing at it lol meiy was too :)
3. how do i place the membrane filter paper?
(cos there's a glossy side and a rough side..then i thought its like a sticker and was trying to split it into 2 lol.. then not sure where to put it..under the gauze or on top??!)
4. To my horror, the flow rate for the permeate seems zero in the beginning when everything was in place..so called for chandra (since i was really scared that the filter paper that i have inserted is jamming up that portion which is equivalent to a risk of it bursting out so..)
anws it turn out that its not suppose to flow out like a stream but bit by bit..but then my set up is still wrong la cos the permeate is realli drop by drop... so to collect 1L of it. faints.
so yeps.. 3rd day of fyp :)
shall cont'd to blog more tmrw :D
at {12:16 AM}
wanted to change the blogskins to this korean pop band - Big Bang.
the same band as one of the past blogskins
so why this band?
cos they sang the song 哈里努亚/할렐루야 for the new korean hit drama - IRIS!!!
the lyrics were alil nonsensical but it fits in with the drama plot
the rap is good and the english sound not bad too lol

but of course the main thing is that the drama is thumbs up!
so if u're looking for some action drama, dwelling in politics and nuclear, IRIS is for you :D
It comes from the name of a flower which i forget what its meaning is alr lol
at times, it seems that the some actor and actress are jsut there to send killer stares lol
TOP dun reali have much stuff to talk as he's portrayed as one of the best assasinator that kills without mercy so of course all those killer stares and he has done it pretty well... the other actress, Kim So-yeon/金素妍 did well too.. pretty refreshing cos when she starred in
gourmet, she was one of those demure lady. so what a contrast!
but of course the two main leads Jun Joon-Ho/ 鄭俊鎬 and Kim Tae Hee/金泰希are amazing!
think this is one of the best drama that i've watched after the legend starred BYJ :)
something different and on another level of playing ground.
just watched ep10 and as usual it ended when its not suppose to -_-
3 more days to the next.....!!
hmm actually it seems that those power actors are coming back.. guess they went for army or sth liddat and now they are all back! Jun Joon-Ho, Song Seung Hun(who starred in
Summer Scent and then
East of Eden). BUT Kim Rae-Won/金來沅 went army :( he's my fav korean actor after watching
Love story in Harvard a few years back and following
Which star are you from.
opps kkies enough of korean dramas :D
SO its...
2nd day into reading week
ME down
GEM down
left ESE technical elective, dearest prof bai :x
busy with FYP so far
ytd was just purely washing up and tidying up
reserving a workspace; marking my territory :)
flushed the cooler several times to get rid of the rust
wasn't aware that i will need a cooler as expt has to be done at constant temperature and in this case, 25 degree celsius. Din talk to anyone except Chandra. Felt alil odd with the postgrads who urms dun realy dorn on their lab coats so hmm..... and not sure what to talk.
Today was alil better and hilarious :D
i spend half of the time mopping/vacuuming the floor -_-
cos the setup leaks..first was my mistake. blunder! fortunately i din fill up the whole feed tank or else that will be a total of 50L on the floor. Took me some time to realise that i have flooded the area around my expt setup. shoes were soaked in the pool of water. not a nice feeling to walk around on wet foot. next was the missed out hole in the set up so when the start button was on, the water gushed out from that particualr hole and the scenario was pretty comical..
Talked to some postgrads to fish out more info on my expt..
point of dosage
type of filter paper
materials 'analysis'
leeching of materials such as pvc pipings...blah blah blah... on and on...
the locker in the labs reali quite time consuming lol cos have to turn right left right many times haha. interesting~
kkies fyp tmrw
back to reading on literatures/catalogs/graphs -_-
meeting jassie tmrw night for dinner and some AIA intensive
meeting meiling for lunch tmrw
meeting deph tmrw to go sch tgt :) dad leaving ultra early so on my own....
to a better day~
i did it today. hoep it persists
at {11:09 PM}
and so din manage to do my fyp today
din email the TA
din have the time or dun feel like sigh
no motivation and time is tight
gosh!
i-want-to-sleep is the only thing that is running thru my mind now
zzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzz
lol
trying to do the assignment which is due later and i'm not even sure if its correct -_-
started the day with gem presentation and i was like the only one not holding anything cos basically i haven exactly get the technical facts yet lol
but i still got 4/5 for comprehensiveness in content..not very sure how lol
but still can't reali pinpoint on the meaning of critical issues..it seems to have different meanings aft every lesson i sat thru dotz.
but today's tutorial was pretty light and enjoyable
fortunately no one is doing the one tt i'm working on which is music therapy
still thinking of a name
as of now it is "music: To a conducive environment"
somehow i think what she wants is our own opinion with a bit of bg info to support but then isn't it suppose to be technical heavy.
sigh instructions for this module is always confusing :(
but overall, its been an interesting module
a totally different aspect compared to "built environment".
This module is more on design aspects and exposed us thru the research done on this area which i never thought it exist or can be done haha
its pretty similar to sociology
hopefully it will be a sweet ending just like sociology :D
and she mentioned abt WHO coming out with "healthy cities" nx year or so...after the hot topic of sustainability and environmentally friendly.. sounds exciting.
oh that reminds me that i ought to take a look at the display in the central forum..somehow its related to music symphony but its done thru the structure of the building. hmm...amazing.
alrights back to the next task.
search for archi books...
sleepy~
at {11:44 AM}
its the time of the year whereby exams are nearing :(
and u can see an influx of students in the library, study benches, tutorial rms.
Everyone is just mugging their ass off
skipping meals
getting all tense up
shag
some may even succumb to the stress and break down
emotional and sensitive
sigh whenever such scenarios resurfaces, i'll always be at a loss
u can' t possibly say everything will be alright, everything will be fine..
how can u gurantee a good grades for that particular friend
but not saying anything just makes it even more awkward
words have to be chosen and spoken with care
sometimes u can't help but whine abt ur grades
even if the person has done worse than u...some wil just cont'd to talk abt how bad this this is
it sorts of disturbs and stresses the other party
but everyone just have to let it out
so i guess..just take it as a pinch of salt
do your best and pray hard
what's urs will be urs..
what's not than forget it
why ask for the impossible
somehow trying to work even harder when u noe u have alr reach the brim of that calibre
sucks one's life away and aft the 4years.. drained out
but what else can u do?
as a student, ur duty is to study and get the paper as a stepping stone to a seemingly bright and better future but who defines "better life"? Is it the society or is it you?
sigh
today deph was talking abt her friend wanting to emigrate
she felt it was surprising to have such thoughts
but somehow for i-dunno-what-reason..
i always wish to emigrate
maybe i'm just asking for something that i noe i can't get :)
or it is just stiffling down here
or is it me wanting to step out of the dependence?
i dunno
anws time to get back to studies
at {8:00 PM}
pretty bored
went yahoo-ing for images with the word - green.
came across this particular picture
enticed~

[taken from 5cats4carol's photostream]
reminds me of those who came and create or left a significant presence in my life..their presence created the different shades in meiy's life.
bright.dull.pale.dark.gloomy.sad.joy.bitterness.resentment.etc.
all sorts of feelings experienced
just to teach me the way of life
growing with me...
challenging meiy
may the obstacles ahead be cleared...
