Virology GBL Poster
Our hard work! - It's suppose to be a measles virus shape with the glycoproteins surrounding it. The red dots are suppose to represent the inflammed skin. Btw, it's all done with colour pencils! It's not a small piece of artwork! It measures about 1.2m by 1.5m.
Well, this is not the finished work. We have yet to put our info on it with pop up inflammed spots. Will load up photos when we're done. = )
*signs of old age
After 6 hours of work, we all K-Oed after dinner.
Geez, i haven't put in this much effort in pencil colouring since.... Secondary school days...

Well, well, well, haven't met them for like...7 years. Qiu Rong's the one with the same birthday as me. = )
Primary school friends. But we're all studying in different schools now. Vanessa's in QUT studying Applied Science, Qiu Rong's in UQ Gatton studying Vet Tech. Glad that we met up over lunch and bubble tea. = )

A Mini-Break
Finally i have some spare time to blog. Actually, not really. Haha.. It was a busy weekend and i took 3 days to finally publish this post. Started on friday and didn't get to finish this entry till now. It's the start of mid-sem break! Time really passes so damn fast when you're busy. Although i'm having a relatively slow-paced lifestyle here in Oz, but my schedule is still rather packed, with schoolwork and stuff. Compared to Singapore, nahhhhhh~. Can't even compare. It's totally different here.
Just one thing i don't like about uni is the practical classes. It's not hands-on at all. Hmpf! I rarely get to do any of the practicals myself. I loveeeee loveee loveeee Ngee Ann poly's practical class. I miss having REAL practical classes. Haiz.. Oh well, i guess this is what happens when you go to
Uni. Even for Singapore uni, it's the same. Theories, theories and MORE theories.
Anyway, since we 3 girls had no plans to go on a short holiday during this mid-sem break. We decided to reward ourselves with good food, and a few outings. We bought LOTS of stuff when we went grocery shopping last thursday. Somehow, we just dumped whatever stuff we wanted to have at home without realising how are we ever going to lug them back home. Especially when we have to climb the hill. Anyway, we somehow managed to lug them back and promising ourselves never to attempt that stunt again.
We've also decided to have a busy weekend, occupying ourselves with little excursion trips to the city and Mount Coo-tha. But first, we had to clean the house on friday after good friday service, so that we'll have the weekend free. = ) Went to West End on Saturday morning, had our cinnamon roll - like finally! Oo!! And i have always wondered what's a hot cross bun. You know, that nursery rhyme? Hot cross bun, hot cross bun... blahblahblah.. Yea. Well, i managed to get some at West End market and realised that it's actually a raisin bun decorated with a white cross. Yups! I love anything with raisins. Raisin bread, Cadbury's rum and raisin's dark choc... etcetc... After that, proceeded to Southbank to catch Step Up 2 The Streets. OH MY GAWD!!! I SO WANT TO BE A DANCER! Their bodies are hot, their grooves are so.... groovy... Lol. I wanna learn how to dance! One day. One day... I love Step Up and Step up 2. Geez.... Ok... overall, i LOVE movies that are associated with dance, like Honeyz... etcetc..
Wanted to go 3 monkeys after te show to get some desserts. Was abit lost but we managed to find the cafe. It's known for their cakes, pastries and coffee. BUT! It's closed! Took us like...half an hour to find it, was quite scary to walk in those areas cuz the streets are filled with pubs and drinking places. But! We'll head back there next week! Hehheh...= ) Will bring pa, ma and kor there when they're here.
Headed home after getting dinner at Southbank and jumped to bed straight after as we had to wake up at 2.30am to prepare for our trip to Mount Cootha. Itinerary - Star gazing and watching the sunrise. It was simply AMAZING. Saw a few shooting stars. But was too excited pointed to them that i forgot to make a wish. Geeez. Hopefully i'll get to see some tonight with my hot dates - Yan xia and Alicia at the balcony. = )
Photos are uploaded. Enjoy them. = )
Loves.

My Apologies..
Am i too critical for my own good? Too quick to judge, too straight-forward. maybe sometimes adding too much sarcasm into what i say?
I think i'm hurting alot of people by what i sprouted out of my mouth. Sometimes, i see their hurt expressions on their faces and i feel really guilty.
What am i to do now?
I can't take back the words i said... all i can say is... sorry...

Happy Easter!
Easter greetings from Carmody!
-Bunny hairband ---> Courtesy of Alicia, only she would buy this sort of thing~~~...
Though it's abit early, but the stores in Brissie are selling tons of chocolate eggs! I've never seen SOOO many eggs gathering in one spot! Ok.. not one, but all of the supermarts.... Amazing!
But one thing i still don't get is, what has the bunny or rabbit has got to do with eggs??? Shouldn't a chicken or chick, duck, or whatever animal that lay eggs be associated with it rather than... a rabbit? Which is, a mammal?? Whoever's got the answer, please let me know. = )

Geez....
Well well well, it’s the end of the second week in school. Lots of stuff have been going on, including stuff that makes me sick and well, let’s just say that nobody wants to encounter them.
School has been good. It has been very kind to me for the first few weeks. Not really feeling the stress yet, but I’m sure in about 2 to 3 weeks time, I’ll be blogging a different story. I’ve signed up for three Year 3 courses and one Year 1 course (Psychology) and one of the year 3 course is on Research project. I was quite disappointed when I couldn't get the supervisor I want. He couldn’t take me in this year. = ( I really wanted to work in that lab though!! Cuz it’s quite reputable, it’s called Queensland Brain Institute (QBI). But, unfortunately, I don’t have the chance to be in there. But no worries, he recommended me another supervisor… which just saying his name, makes me nervous. I was supposed to meet him yesterday and while waiting for him at the office, I was so nervous my crap almost came out! Feel like a hamster who can’t control its own bowel movement when they’re scared! Anyway, he’s Dr Nickolas Lavidis. I know i know, you won’t know him unless you study science in Australia. Apparently, he’s this BIG SHOT guy in the Uni. Published like…hundreds (maybe thousands?????) of scientific papers and journals, gone on TV and news for interviews, gave a few seminar talks…. Ok… just mentioning all these makes me anxious. But at the same time, I’m feeling pretty excited about starting the project with him! Hopefully, I can gain lots of knowledge and experience from Dr Lavidis and have a good flag off in my career. = )
I’m going to be working with a PhD and Honours student on a project about what happens to the neurotransmitters in the hippocampus when they are under stress. For some of you who don’t know what hippocampus means, it has absolutely no connection with hippopotamus. Hippocampus is part of the brain where your memory cells are. = ) So, I’m still doing my project about brains – but my lab would not be in QBI. Hopefully, I won’t be killing much rats! *Geez…
Alrighty~… Enough about school. Weather has been good, it’s the start of autumn, though it can get quite cold in the mornings and night. Have been jogging regularly too, since I did not bring my tennis racket for apparent reasons. = ) But I kinda regret not bringing the racket. Not because I miss playing it, but because I could have attacked the flasher with it!!!! If I ever see that pervert again, I’ll make sure he never see his little brother again! Long story short – a flasher appeared at our house when we came home late one night after our night practical class. He was mas*****ing outside our house, flashing his d*** at us. I didn’t see it, but Yx saw it. But this happened too close to our home. Called the cops and all. Now, we’re VERY WARY of who walks behind us. Plus, this is not the first time. And it’s very highly the same guy who flashed at us the other time. But this time, I’ll be prepared. I’ll damage his little brother until he can’t even recognise it anymore, if I ever see him again.
Hope you guys had a fascinating time looking at the photos, I’ll be removing them soon. I had enough anatomy for the week.
Missing you guys always ~ Pa, Mummy, Kor, Gu Jie, Kare…

Back in Brissie
Alrighty, what i've been dreading for the past 2 1/2 months is here. I'm back in Brisbane (aka 'hell' - for me) again. Ok ok.... I know pa and ma would be upset when reading this.. But REALLY! It's not easy to manage all this on my own.
You know, you have to study and of cuz, score well enough to do honours year and in the end, have a nice scent coming out of your graduation certificate. Plus, you have to take care of alot of things! Like, cleaning the house and your own room, so that you'll have a clean, tidy and obviously, a condusive environment to study. Then, you have to cook, wash clothes, you know, all the works... Have good time management... etcetc...
Yes, i've become more independent and I am grateful to my parents for giving me this opportunity to come Aussie and study. And of cuz, all the moo-lah that was spent on me to bring me over here. Thanks pa and ma. *hugz* But of cuz, there's always a teenie weeny bit of regret after making the decision to come study here. Leaving home (aka my comfort zone), my family, my friends, kare and Singapore. It hurts everytime i think about what and who, i left behind to pursue my studies. Well, I can't celebrate festivals, birthdays, anniversaries with my love ones. I guess this is something i really hate to miss.
OK. Enough emo stuff. I've to go Australian Post now to do something very important! Might and might not continue the emo-ing. Woo! Some CNY photos are loaded up! These photos are taken before i fell VERY VERY sick.
