Happy December 13, 2009

This is a song lyrics, Leona Lewis – Happy. I find it really meaningful. (Esp in this crazy time of common test) You have to check out the song on youtube or somewhere? It’s really good,as good as usual,Leona Lewis.

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose, you can’t have everything
Don’t you take chances, you might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain ’cause love won’t set you free
I could stand by the side and watch this life pass me by
So unhappy, but safe as could be

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
‘Cause I’m just trying to be happy, ya
Just wanna be happy, ya

Holding on tightly, just can’t let it go
Just trying to play my role, slowly disappear, oh
But all these days, they feel like they’re the same
Just different faces, different names, get me out of here
But I can’t stand by your side, oh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
‘Cause I’m just trying to be happy, oh, happy, oh

So any turns that I can’t see
Like I’m a stranger on this road
But don’t say victim, don’t say anything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy, oh, yeah, happy, oh, happy
I just wanna be, oh, I just wanna be happy
Oh, happy

Jack’s 18th Birthday! December 5, 2009

We got this cake from “icing room” for Jack’s 18th birthday! Since we’re talking about this,I’ll share this big find!

The Icing Room is located at Jurong Point! What’s s special about this place? Haha,it’s that you can buy a plain white cake (that comes in 3 different sizes,the one above is the smallest one 4″),and be given different colour creams and icing cubes to decorate the cake with your own creativity! This time,it’s done by Kimberlyn !  Oh ya,it’s not exactly plain cake,it’s actually fruit cake,with plain white cream over,so you can design it.

Eh,they do have other cakes also,as in those ‘normal’ cakes. haha. I would say,it’s quite cool.

JACK & THE CAKE! (PS,the first picture is staged,lol,tt’s y it looked so fake,because Jack complained that we didn’t capture the most important moment of him blowing out the candle -.-)

We had our dinner at crystal jade. Since it’s crystal jade,we ended up using CHOPSTICKS to eat out cake. quite comical. As demo-ed by Kimberlyn below.

Haha,pardon the messy table.

Last,but not least,HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACK

TIRED of school! December 1, 2009

I’m superrrrrr tireddddddddd~

I do realise that I’m always blogging about how tired I am,and how busy I am. lol.

Recently,I’ve been super super super super busy with projects. LOADS of projects,and I just hate the way they just due on the same week! And somehow,they just want to due themselves to close to common test,leaving me so little time left for common test! And all my crazy lecturers are crashing so many topics into common tests!

In a way,it’s good,leaving me less topics to ‘revise’ (in one way or another,although not always true) for the next coming term,but still,sighs,too many at once,I cant take it man!

Still,I receive a good news today. PAT common test is cancelled! woooohooo.

(PS,aquaculture people,hear this?PAT common test is cancelled!)

Talking about today,had a super super tiring day in school. Doing up projects in school (BIG SIGHS),alright,at least a highlight for the day,at least I had MACDONALDS for dinner with dar.

SEAWEED FRIES IS BACK BACK BACK! (actually this is quite a bad thing,I’ll be more tempted to upsize my meal just for the sake of the seaweed fries,making me eat more,oh dear~)

I’m taking a little break for tonight,not to do any project,and just sit back and relax surfing net,and blogging! haha. It’s nice to enjoy this kinda ‘boring’ life sometimes too yea? Esp in the midst of busy and hectic schedules!

PAT Field Trip II November 26, 2009

This is not the second trip,just another post for more pictures I found from browsing facebook. Here are some pictures I got from Adelyn & Min.

Alamak! You two don traumatize my little rabbit!!!!

lol,this is what I was explaining in the previous entry about us behaving like tourists. Look at this picture,everybody is like so facinated by the animals in the cage,snapping away with their cameras. Just look so comical. (Not mentioning I’m actually one of them >.< )

Here’s a class photo taken at Farmart prawning place. A typical old school style of taking class photo,haha,but I like! Feel kinda weird to take such a formal setting class photo.

Another class photo in the goat farm. lol,we were telling our lecturer to lie in front. haha.

1st SCHOOL FIELD TRIP! November 21, 2009

This is my 1st school field trip in ngee ann,it’s my for plant agrotechnology & plant tissue culture. (chim right~ lol)

Here are some pictures a long the day from the bus ride.

Upon arrival at our first stop : Farmart!

Haha,cheeck out this cute little guinea pigs! The super extrovert one on the right,look at how excited it is when all of us came,while the super introvert one on the left,hiding at the little corner. Nonethless,they are all so cute!

Haha! My favourite rabbits! The animals there are so friendly,the one on the left was so excited,jumping around,biting onto the wire grills when we came. haah. I thought the 3 on the left looks a bit like ‘SHE’ lol. haha. threesome.

Ok,finally some pictures of the main point of the field trip,or else I will look like I went for a field trip to the zoo rather than to the agrotech parks. lol~. Presenting to you,Singapore’s High Tech Farming! lol.

lol,ah-ha! Caught you taking picture of me! No lah,actually it’s the other way around,I was trying to take a picture of sharon while she’s not looking,but she saw,so she wanted to turn around to take a revenge. lol.

(PS Sharon,your green shirt kinda blends in with the background,don’t you agree?haha)

Check out this 2 love birds.Opps,I’m sorry if I disturbed you. I just thought the colour of the feathers are so preetty!

baby and I! Umm,this is like the 2 most decent picture already.Shall not throw face to upload too unglam photos.lol.

Haha,some pictures on the bus! This is an illustration of tourist touring around in the tour bus. One of the pictures I got when the lecturer was telling us about the farms on the left side of the bus. lol.quite comical,it’s a pity I missed the picture where everybody was snapping away.

Last but not least,to the animal room to check on my little baby. They are just sooo cuteee! I gotta take more pictures of them before they are g-o-n-e sorry my dear.

Mundane matters November 13, 2009

This is the 4th week in school. School work is piling up so high,I’m so tired. Lab report after lab report,never ending lab report to be done. Lectures after lectures,never ending work to be done. Day after day,ever ending resting time.

More projects coming on the way. I picture all the work I have to do to be riding on a huge powerpact motorbike chasing after me.

How I wish I can have

~more than 60 secs a minute

~more than 60 minutes an hour

~more than 24 hours a day

~more than 7 days a week! 

BIG BIG BIG SIGHS~~~

Okay,I feel bit better after ranting a little bit here.heee.I guess,this is what a blog is for. lol.

Haha,I’m such a complain queen. lol.

Nevertheless,jiayou to all A leavers! I know my complains are nothing compared to yours. haha.

Steamboat dinner (AGAIN!) November 13, 2009

Last week was munwah and my 4th monthsary. So I decided we should eat steamboat again! Again as we just ate steamboat with Evon about 2 weeks ago. Ever since 2 weeks ago we had that steamboat dinner,I’ve been craving so much for steamboat. This time we didn’t went back to the same place,munwah suggested to try out other places,as we walk down the alley with our super hungry stomach growling at us,desperately looking for a place to settle down,worst of worst,most of the stalls were full house or else very packed. In the end,we settled down with this one. No particular reason,just too hungry to walk another step.

I didn’t take notice to the name of the shop. It’s located near Bugis. Well,I would say,I very much prefer the previous one I had 2 weeks ago. But still,this stall is not bad too.

Haha,our attempt to brew corn soup is chicken soup,wasn’t very successful though. But still,I believe,the soup of the steamboat always taste very good after cooking a lot of things inside. haha. It’s true it’s true.

 

I dunno to say this a good or bad thing. This steamboat place actually has TV showing channel 8 tv programs. Well,it’s bad for me,as my seat was back facing the TV,good for munwah cause his seat was facing the TV,and all thanks to this. We got stuck in there for 3 hours because munwah wanna finish watching his TV shows.

Last but not least,Happy 4th my dear

School starts! October 30, 2009

Well,as much as school have just started,work is already starting to pile up! But,I really enjoy the modules I’m taking this semester,they might be tough,umm,actually they are very tough,but it’s really interesting to study! Apart from mundane school work that never seem to end,I still manage to get sometime off to give myself a little treat to movies!

I went to catch the highly anticipated SISTER’S KEEPER!  This movie talks about this girl named Kate suffering from cancer,and her parents conceived another child,Anna,genetically altered to create spare body parts for her sister Kate. To me,it’s just a so-so movie,certain parts of the movie are quite touching,but I didn’t really like it. I did hear quite a few sobbing sounds around the cinema. But,I still don’t think it’s that good. Maybe I was expecting too much after hearing lots of positive comments.

Yeah,500 days of summer. Thumbs up! I really like this movie,so do Janice who watched the movie with me! The title says it all,this movie basically talks about this particular 500 days of his life when he meet this girl,shown in the picture. The movie is made in a way they screen it day by day,however not in chronological order from 1 to 500,but it jumps around from 10 – 30 days, 1 – 7 days etc. Many say this idea is very annoying and confusing,they should just show it in chronological order,but personally I actually like the way they made the movie.They made very good comparison between the different periods of the relationship he go through.All in all,I really like this show!

Ta-dah! I meet up with Jasmine jie,long long lost sissy! I’m so thankful we manage to keep in contact even after you graduated years ago. Heee,shouldn’t mentioned how many years k! haha. It actually feel quite different when we meet up,the last time we meet up was when I was in secondary 1,the things we talk about and stuffs are so different now. We all grown up,oh,maybe it’s me being too childish back then. haha, Nonetheless,I really appreciate the time we spend together,despite it being short,I’m still glad we meet up. Thanks jie~

We had ding tai feng for dinner. Finally tried the xiao long bao everybody have been raving about. Umm,indeed,it’s not bad,but I dare say,it’s definitely not the best of what I’ve tasted. But for the price versus the taste,it’s quite good indeed. I had beef noodles,the soup is quite good except it’s kinda oily,but the meat is tough like volcanic rock man. lol. All in all,I guess this place is not bad luh.

Yooohooo!! It’s Janice and I with our little mousey in the animal room ! This picture is actually taken when Janice picked up the mouse for the very first time! WAY TO GO SIS! Actually can’t really see the mousey right? My phone camera quite sucks. In case you might be interested,this mouse is not our home pets,this mouse are our experimental pets we use in laboratory for testing.That would explain the gloves and the lab coat ya? They are so cute right! Yap!! They’re used in my immunology and cell culture modules.

Check our my little baby! SO SO SO CUTE! heee,I’m so so so obsessed with my little baby~ it’s only 3 weeks old ok!

(Pretty picture credits to Hazlyn )

It’s us in the lab during plant agrotechnology practical! Umm,this picture kinda explain the atmosphere in the lab during that time. lol. Yes,it’s true. Anyway,the point of this picture is the OHP machine!It’s just beside me. See the next picture,you’ll understand!

(Credits to Hazlyn tooo~!)

Ta-dah! See!!! SO FUNNY! It’s my piece of art! heee,and the teacher didn’t found out about it until lesson end! haha! I took a piece of regular C fold towel found in the lab and tear our pieces of it and made this face! haha,then I put it under the OHP! Haha! We have to resort to doing this kinda things,yes it’s true,or else,everybody will be bored to death if not everybody will be alseep. I’m doing everyone a favour lah! heeeee.

(Credits to Hazlyn toooo!)

(Credits to Ruifen!)

Haha,this picture is taken by Hazlyn in the green house! It’s our little germinated seedlings and jingwen in the picture,lol~. The second picture shows my germinated seeds! yay! We’re just about to transplant them inside different planting system. Not so sure what it’s about yet =/. Anyway~ It’s super warm inside. We were suppose to wear lab coats also,but the weather is seriously too hot,and the green house is trapping the heat too,so,all of us will just be cooked.

Last but not least,the weekends are here! Have a blessed weekends everybody! ciao!

CRAZY sleepover! October 27, 2009

Evon came over to my place for a CRAZY sleepover ! I can’t think of any better word to describe,just totally insane! Shanmei joined us in the night for a drink. It’s just lots of crazy things happening when all of us get together. Thank you so much for coming over to keep my company,both of you. I really appreciate both of you very much!

We had mac breakfast on the next morning. Then I realised how long since I last had mac breakfast,then Evon explained “because you never wake up early enough”,to a certain extend,actually quite true.Even if I woke up early,it’s surely rushing to school. I must say,nothing taste better than hotcakes! heee.. We got 8 monopoly stickers,from which,we got 1 instant win-APPLE PIE ! The rest were the monopoly pieces. Better than nothing lah!

We went back home and continue fooling around painting our nails,doing cucumber mask. haha. Evon warned me not to post any pictures of her on the mask,so I shall not defy or else she’ll come after me. lol.

Later,we went to look for munwah for dinner! We went to bugis for a steamboat dinner. It’s quite a nice place,opposite Parco Bugis,we had our steamboat beside a carpark,it’s quite comfortable to have steamboat outdoor.

Here’s Evon and me while waiting for munwah. lol.

Thanks sis for everything Not forgetting,thank you shan mei for your vodka and great company! LOVE YOU ALL!

I found this new song – Replay by Iyaz. I really like this song,the lyrics and the song,just the way it’s made. I thought some of the lyrics are really nice. And yes indeed,as the lyrics say “like my ipod stuck on replay”,indeed stuck on replay on my mp3 too. lol!

Business talk October 22, 2009

Just a short one before I crash!

School started this week. I must say this semester is very demanding,I have 4 lab base modules (compared to previous sem 3 and in year one only 2). Well,it’s quite fun to have practicals too. One of my modules immunology,we get to work with little mice,yes little ones,only 3 weeks old,they’re super cute! Shall take a picture sometime after I’m allocated one. The past practical was just playing around with them. 

Apart from my core life science modules,I’m also taking 2 other IS (interdisciplinary studies) modules. Don’t be shock to hear this. They are FINANCE PLANNING & STARTING A BUSINESS ,yes you’re on the right channel,this is Serene’s blog. Though I can never find a link between me and business,but somehow,anyhow,yap,I’m here.

I had my first FINANCE PLANNING class this morning. I must say,it’s not as bad as I thought! I was quite overwhelmed by the business students. In the whole class,there were 4 life science students and all the rest are business students. It’s quite interesting actually,it’s quite an eye opening experience for me,umm,k lah,maybe I’ll say ear opening experience since it’s a lecture style class. Though it’s my first time attending this kinda business based lesson,I think I like it? haha. Well,I guess it’s good that I went with an open heart. The lecturer actually asked all of us about our reasons/motivations behind selecting this module,I actually daring told him “to grow money”. lol. Don’t quite sound like something that will come out of me mouth. lol. I just didn’t wanted to leave a bad impression,afterall it’s a graded module right? hehe. actually i didn’t really understood what I was saying. lol.Well,at least the teacher is happy,rather than hearing some crappy answers like “ehh,no choice loh?”.

Caution! Don’t do this!

I was kinda hungry waiting for daddy for dinner. So I decided to look for some food. I found myself an oreo muffin in the fridge! I put it into the toaster to heat it up. Then I went to play computer. Then I smell,how come I smell something bad? I ran to the kitchen! TOO LATE! MY MUFFIN CAUGHT FIRE! My muffin actually got burnt to the extend it caught fire! lol. So,please don’t do this!  

Gotta go get my plants report done asap! ciao!
