Thank You

As the title suggests, this is a 'thank you' post for the most important people in my life.

But 1st, let me introduce my brother(yes bro, i know i owe you 1 post) so here it is. He is as attention seeking as me, and people not only comment that we look alike but we also sound alike
-.-!!! Below is a picture of him graduating from NUS.


This came as an impulse, just felt like writing this post. Anyway, I really want to thank the people who gave me this opportunity to be able to study abroad. They are my parents and my brother. Although you guys(my parents) wont be reading this post, i guess bro will convey this message to you guys. It's quite hard for me to say 'I miss you guys' and 'love you guys' in person or on the phone, haha i have no idea why. So i guess I should write it down. I really appreciate that you guys understand and encourage me to go for what i want in life. You have never ever stopped me from doing something I like(cause im as stubborn as a mule), even when i had second thoughts about going abroad for further study, you guys were there to support me. I know that it is financially tough on you guys and also an 'emotional stress' for you, especially Mom. No matter how many times i say 'dont worry', you all will still worry. But dont worry, haha. I will not disappoint you guys, I will definitely come back with a degree and do my best for you guys to enjoy your retirement(even if im not earning a lot, haha). You guys have been the best, and im glad i didnt go astray or become a good-for-nothing. No matter how many times i argue with you guys, or seem rude towards you guys, please do not take it to heart, I guess im just easily agitated. Omg im digressing, haha. Anyway, do take care of yourselves back in Singapore and time passes very fast, i will be back in Singapore in no time. Bro, sorry it will be tough on you for the next few years, i will definitely pay you back, not only in terms of money.


love ya guys



p.s. this is not a suicidal note, lol
p.s.s. whoever dares comment negatively, i will go back sg and kill u, haha

Karaoke Night

Due to overwhelming requests to know more of my social life, this entry will definitely satisfy you guys out there reading this, what a demanding bunch u are!

Before i get to the main point, just wanted to say MID SEM EXAMS are OVER!!! This came quite late as i was too busy enjoying myself and also too lazy to blog =). Mon was the last exam, after that i did not have the mood to study at all lol. Went to International House(IH) to play DOTA, woke up at unearthly hours to watch UEFA Champions League at 4.30am in the morning for 2 days, playing soccer, gym, acting like a retard(whenever an exam ends, i will get a natural high from it, hmmm wonder why?). Oh ya and went karaoke yesterday, will get to that soon. So basically these are the things i've been doing for the past wk, the wk before this was spent studying so not point writing about that, move on from the past. (there u go Bryan, i don't always bring my camera around, so dun expect too much! lol)

Ok! So we went karaoke in sunnybank(?) yesterday. It's called NewWay KTV(?). My FIRST time out of St Lucia in 2 mths, haha yeah i kinda lack an active social life here =(. Anyway, when we reach that place it looks quite sleazy from the outside, haha like how KTVs look like in Singapore(apart from KBox and PartyWorld). Forgot to take a picture of the building so yeah u guys don't get to see how it looks like, too bad. The wonderful people present are(in alphabetical order) Gabriel, Me, Michelle, Sam and Wenyu. They are the ones who have to endure my terrible singing whahaha. The last time that I've stepped into a ktv was 1yr ago, so you guys can guess i dont really have passion for singing. And worse my arsenal of chinese song is that limited, i dont really listen to chinese songs lol. Still, i really enjoyed my time with them.

The set meal in the KTV costs aud18.80 per person and it consists of 3hrs of karaoke time, dinner(5choices) and a drink. The worse thing is that they count plain water as a drink -.-! and they dun refill it, what fishmongers they are. Nearing the end of the session, we had to sing the 1st part then skip to the next song to try to save time haha. After the karaoke session, we found out that there was no bus back to UQ lakes bus depot, we had to take a bus into the city(which is in another zone, which means have to buy another ticket). We went to Coles(it's like Giant supermarket), the cocoa-addict wanted to get some chocolates. We took a bus to the city at 9.00pm, and i was back home at arnd 10pm. Then i went IH again to watch 'How i met your mother", guys its a damn nice show, it's a must watch. So that concludes my yesterday.

Pardon me for the lack of organisation of this entry lol, i hate writing/typing essays bleh. Below are the pics from the karaoke session.

Invertebrate Prac

Busy busy busy....exams exams exams...so didnt update my blog...haha. As usual nothing interesting is happening in my life (not that it's boring), so i've nothing much to blog abt.

Had my invertebrate prac today. Dissected a crayfish, was quite excited at 1st. Guess it was due to me watching the Man Utd - Arsenal match (woohoo Man Utd's gonna get double), slpt at 3am and woke up at 7am for the prac, therefore the prac seemed to get more n more boring. The crayfish is just like the freshwater prawns we catch in Marina South -.-!! Anyway as we were dissecting it (it was supposed to be euthanised), it kicked and struggled and i got cut by it -.-!! Hopefully i dun get a parasite infection or something haha. I'm now more afraid of eating raw food as when we looked at the gills of the crayfish and saw parasite eggs in them, freaky. Ok here are pics taken during the prac.

Home improvement

Went to a poster sale in my Uni and got this cool poster for just 9 bucks! Hahaha...and got some sourvenirs for some of my friends, hopefully they will still like it when i give it to them at the end of the yr.




SOUTH PARK POSTER!!!!!!(looks great doesnt it)

My 2nd Skeleton Prac

Did a really short skeleton practical on Tues (010408) after my exam ended. The exam was easier than expected, im juest relieved to have completed the exam. Anyway, the prac was supposed to be a 2 hr thing, but we're done after an hr plus plus, so we left early. And as usual i took some pics. Enjoy!









My 1st Dissection

Did my first dog dissection on Mon (310308). It was an exciting, educational, mind blowing experience. Couldn't believe im able to do it, and i got the 1st cut. Still, i couldnt bear to see the dog's face. Had my own experience of my dog being euthanized. It was heart-breaking. But this dog has done it's part by contributing itself to the vet students so that we can learn and understand. My respect goes out to the dissected dog.
