Mad Scientists

Woohoo. I'm alive. I survived 'it'! For now, at least. Must wait and see till tomorrow morning. LOL. Ok ok story time x)

Went to the dentist and got my front tooth nerves removed (or so I think, I couldn't quite see what was happening inside my mouth :P) as it had been hurting for a few days now. Yesterday it got really bad and I resorted to getting painkillers at guardian as it was really unbearable and disturbed me in my sleep. But yea, that's done. Need to finish off the procedure next week, and I should be fine.

Anyway, after that, I went to school to meet Mark, Timothy and Leqi for our Chemistry project on traditional chinese medicine. I wasn't quite clear on what we were going to do though, but when I reached, the guys were brewing some red dates, ginger and wolfberry on separate beakers. There were three other beakers containing boiled dan gui, garlic and dan seng. Everything looks fine. Collected the extract and went off to elementz lab for more hi-tech equipments. It was 12pm then, and Timothy just realized that he booked the lab at 2pm. Lol. Actually he told us already and Lq and I knew, but he and Mark sort of forgot about it and Mark had to go off by 2pm.


Looks like urine of different concentrations......
No, not Mark, the solutions.

So we went off to Elementz lab to ask the lab technician whether we can use the lab straight away (12pm) or not. Surprise, surprise. Sean never booked any slots for any groups in our class! ._. Went to the lockers and opened his locker to get the booking forms out (haha I know the locker combination :P) Funny la, fill in booking forms then dump in locker without submitting the form -.-" Well, my group ended up still allowed to do our practicals today (yay!). As for the other groups, we helped them book a slot, but the lab won't be free until 17 Dec. Like, omg. That's one day before my flight, so luckily I finished mine today -.-" I don't think I'd want to spend my last full day in Singapore doing Chem project...:P

Anyway. We went for lunch and talk and talk and the guys played basketball while I filled in another page of my black sketchbook/journal :P Actually, Leqi played basketball, while Timothy 'tried to' play basketball in half u without Mr Lim noticing. Hahahahaha.

The lab session was ok. It was rather fun, actually, having this and that to do, and with a nice lady to guide us along the way. It was sooo nice not having to draw any graphs and simply press the 'print' button on the comp :D

So first test we did was determining the amount of vit C (ascorbic acid) in each extract using some really hi-tech chromatogram (and at first I thought we were going to titrate it -.-") Second test we did was determining the pH of each extract. And last one........

........was 'human test'.

Timothy had this idea from the start to measure the bitterness of each extract. I was like, "How are you going to do that?" Well....

Yea, taste it.

Must arrange nicely before we drink them...:P

So we tidied up our stuff and went out to near a water cooler (haha). For some moments the three of us just stood there and stare at the six beakers, hesitating. Lol. Finally I decided that if we were going to do this, I might as well go for the safer one first, so I took a sip of ginger extract. Lol.

I had no idea ginger is bitter. I thought it just had the warm sensation to it.

But it was ok.

Then we started testing each extract one by one and measuring its bitterness/sweetness.

For me, garlic came up next. It actually has almost no taste, just smell x.x But that also was ok.

Red dates extract then. THIS ONE IS TERRIBLE. It was like so damn concentrated and so damn viscous I almost choke -.-" But the taste was ok. I mean, it's dates, so it tasted like dates.

Wolfberry was nice. It was the sweetest one (:

And for some reason the last two for me were the two chinese medicine. By this time, both Timothy and Leqi had tasted both of these two, and from them, I knew that the dan seng was really bitter, so I decided to go for it first. I wouldn't want to have the most bitter one as the last one, would I? :x

But yes. It was terrible. It tasted so medicinal and just bitter. Euh.

Dan gui.....I couldn't really recall. Actually, for all three of us, we couldn't really taste the last thing we tried. Our taste buds were numb by then x.x

Yea. That's about it. We risked our lives and drank concentrated, disgusting liquids which were probably far from sterile to have more concise report. AHAHAHAHAHA.

We all went to Cheers to buy drinks after that, hoping to recover our taste buds to normalcy asap. I still can taste ginger, dan seng and garlic on my tongue. Bleargh.

Well, that's about Chem project. Quite a crazy yet fun day (:

Here comes a riddle:
1. Something to be watched.
2. Available at midnight. More precisely, tomorrow midnight.
3. Something that I might like.
What is it?

The third criteria can go to sea. I love a lot of things so it's useless. Lol. Hmm....I wonder what it is.....

Haiz. Sometimes I feel like giving myself a cold, hard look and asked, "What are you doing with your life?" I mean, so far it hadn't been really wrong, I didn't score that low for promos, although it's far from my real potential, but what am I doing now? I haven't touched my holiday homework, I haven't even dig them out. I am so busy with outside stuff, CCA and all, I almost forget that I am a JC student. Should go tidy up things one of these days....

Should I watch Green Day's concert next year?

It'd be an awesome opportunity to FINALLY hear them live. I really have the urge to go. On the other hand, I will need to lobby my mom (not easy) and think of the $$ spent....

It's different to hear recordings and live music. (Or else, what are concerts for?) I want to hear the guitar live. Live music touches the soul more (: It feels like ecstasy x)

Green Day!!!!!

I super love their music. The vocals too. Although the lyrics are barely applicable to me (but Time Of Your Life" has really nice lyrics), their music makes up for everything else. I love love the guitar solos, always so simple and can be easily played by ear, yet catchy and impactful. And they have only three members. How is that possible. The sound of the guitar is just nice. The first time I heard "Know Your Enemy", hearing from the music, I was like, "Eh, sounds like Green Day." Then came the unmistakable vocals of Billie Joe. Haha. So recognizable.

Best seats are taken. Second best seats, however, are still available. Maybe not for long though.

Aaaaah.

Click!

Apparently, there is such a thing as 'fortondoando' or even louder than that ._.

Had a fabulous weekend + Monday. Saturday's guitar leadership workshop was alright. Got to enjoy myself, got loaded with yet another project, and yea. Ending was nice and *cozy* (: Sunday was spent lazying around and off to play L4D2 after that. Got motion sickness like crazy, but persisted (ahahaha) and managed to recover fully for the last round and got to really enjoy myself :D

If it's not because of you, I wouldn't have been that strong. Lol. Hehe :3

After a dream of trying to cook at KS' house and killing more zombies at L4D2, here comes Monday...which was spent trying to wake up (lol), ordered Mac's lunch menu for breakfast -.-" (ate breakfast at like, what, 12pm? -.-), comp-ed, TV-ed as well as lunch at 630-7PM :P LOLOL. Went off to watch 2012 and then, er, dinner at Mac's (again) at 11+PM since it's the only place open -.-

We shall restrain from eating at Mac's for the next seven days. Or more. Haha.

Then, well,..I basically missed all last buses home thx to the long movie :P It was a nice movie though :D But yea, so many people were killed, and it was...really scary for me to watch :/ My imagination does run wild, you see -.-"

...I don't feel like doing my tabs now -.-" But, for my section.... Some more it's my own idea. I wonder how much impact it would make though. I mean, I will still do it if it only helps one person, but, can give me more timeee? T-T

Ok ok, fine, I guess it can't be later than tomorrow (later today).

I suddenly lost my train of thought and forgot what I wanted to write next ._. Really.

I hate how my holiday turns out to be :/ Three projects going on, none of which was actually to my liking. Bleargh. Shall persevere, no? Thinking of how screwed this 'holiday' is can really bring me to depression, so I keep trying to not think about it and just do it one by one.

After I'm with you, I somehow got a reduced sleeping hours when I'm alone at home. Haha. It's as if I'm being challenged to utilize my time to the best of my ability such that I can get things done and still have (loads of) time to spend with you (: I find myself doing tasks at late hours. That way, I'll get more free time with my 'pet cat' :3

Bah. After some five days of being not alone, I took quite some time just now to adjust to my living alone again :/ I mean, it's only physically alone, right? And even that won't be for long (:

Still, although the journey in the cab I spent replying messages I hadn't replied and all, as soon as I stepped into the lift and into the house and my room, a feeling of emptiness hit me. It's not really 'emptiness', I mean, you're still 'around' in me, just that there's this feeling of having something inside me missing.

It won't be for long (:

*howls*

I want to blog, but I don't know what to write in particular. Haha. Had a good day (: Had two good days actually, or three, in a row. That was nice. Today smells of family :D

My mind had been zooming the past three days. Went here and there at the speed of light, my speech and typing speed cannot catch up with it already. Maybe that's why I feel like my blog's a bit dead, despite the posts I had been writing; cos there are many more thoughts that I had in mind that were not being jotted down anywhere at all, much of which I have even forgotten about. Some other thoughts, too, I had told other people about it and thus see no need for it to be blogged about. Lol.

New Moon was nice (: It felt as if I was watching a piece of artwork rather than a romance movie though. I somehow feel that reading the books prior to watching the movies is crucial -.-" Lots of the details are out and, yeah, you know, books are not supposed to be movies in the first place. I remember promising myself not to ever touch the book again after I finished it as it was....really too painful to read. I mean, in the movie, I cried during the Bella's screaming-at-night-part and all, but at least it lasted for some minutes, while reading about it took hours. Talk about slow and painful torture....

Some more everytime I read it I can't help but to refer Bella's feelings to my own feelings and the characters to my loved ones, hence the pain :/

I also have complaints about Dan Brown's books turned to movies. Imagine reading it for hours and sometimes days, kept in suspense for so long, and in the end the movie only kept you in suspense for that short -.-" I feel as if all that suspense I felt while reading the book was so underrated :/ Haha.

Nonetheless, it was nice seeing the characters came to life in high definition movies :D Especially since Jacob Black is *exactly* like in my imagination. It was really weird, his face and complexion are exactly the way I imagined him to be :o

No comments on Harry Potter books-turned-movies though, since I stopped reading it halfway through the 5th book :P I can just say that the fifth and sixth movies....I can't really recall a single thing out of them. Seriously. I just remember an act from Dumbledore's Army (5th movie) and how Dumbledore died (6th movie). That's all ._.

Time Traveller's Wife....that's another book-turned-movie I've read and watched. The book was really, really sweet. The movie was sweet, but the sweetness was nowhere nearing the book's, and instead amplified the horror of it :x Nonetheless, it was rather nice.

Rawr. I can't take it anymore....I shall go to sleep. Maybe I'll have a dream of a particular werewolf.

LOL.

"It's a wolf thing."

Tee-hee.

A Note To Self

Believe in yourself. Don't ever let what people say think what you had done is wrong, especially since you know for sure that it is NOT wrong and that it is normal.

They're just jealous.

So don't be influenced by whatever they say, ignore them and move on.

(:

Hold It

Meh, I sleepwalked home.

Haha. Woke up with a groan, then thought about how early I'd be released today and thus can take a long nap, and went off for CCA. Was quite fun actually, since it is finally a CCA day where I can just sit back and relax. Haha. Lunched with Mr Choo-Travis-Evelyn-Zuler-Shijie after that, chatted and went to MRT, supposedly to go somewhere to buy contact lenses.

Then I found out from Evelyn that there's an Indonesian AJCians gathering of some sort at the Cathay. She asked me along, and after some thought, I decided to go.

Some people couldn't go, and so in the end, there were ten of us, six of which (including myself) I had already known before today. One, though, was a bit 'special'. I can say I've 'known' her for some time, but then she hasn't known me till today. I first heard about Diana from Zuler, then know which one she is when Kartini talked to her (I didn't utter a word then though, and such we still officially didn't know each other until today.) One thing I had known from before today is that she and I share a similarity I have yet to see in other people. As such, I have had this feeling of 'camaraderie' of some sort since before I officially got to know her today. It may not be something really different, but having someone to talk about and share about this similarity is actually nice (: That special similarity plus her fun personality actually made me feel comfortable, and I might have been better friends with her than with some I had known for longer. Lol. Sometimes friends are difficult to make, some other times, you just simply click with some people.

But yea. It's nice to hear a different version of a similar story from another person, it's nice having a girl friend to share mine with, and it's nice to have another girl friend I can hang out with (:

Haha when we were chatting away at Starbucks, Kally suddenly appeared xD She was meeting Wenny, her CCA mate, who was with us. So yea. Surprise, surprise x)

Well. Today I woke up thinking I'd reach home around lunch time, and ended up reaching home at 7+PM. Haha.

Whatever. It was a good day (:

A part of Timothy's sms received today: "...Next thu 3 Dec. 10-12 do some brewing. 12-2 elementz lab..."

Brewing traditional chinese medicine....? O_O I suddenly feel like a sinseh.

LOL.

Ok. Things are looking up, I think. Holiday homework is unmentionable for now, CCA...should be ok, social life....sounds ok to me, Chem project...shouldn't be a big problem, Hist project....can tackle it bit by bit I hope, "external CCA"......have yet to see tomorrow.

I will try to just smile (:

Or just hold my breath.

Phew. Farewell card done.

I haaaate doing rushed artwork. But anyway, since it's for one of my favourite teachers, oh well.

Still, I have no idea how to wake up tomorrow x.x

Lol I keep thinking I need to bring guitar tomorrow, I wonder why. Keep thinking there's CCA somehow.

Anyway. The farewell card looks ok. From a distance I mean. It has sooo many layers it ended up wavy T.T T.T T.T took so long to do, the border kept crumpling and was even torn twice, so I made it three times. And after all the redoings, the result is still crumply and wavy. Aaah. Even the envelope is wavy. Well, making an envelope out of plastic cover is not easy =.="

SLEEP!

OMG I haven't even listened to the farewell song once.
