But this was the highlight! To all Man Utd suckers out there, take this!

SSEF...

2009-03-12T20:04:00.002+08:00

heh todae marks the end of SSEF. got no award (cop? haha) but dun really feel disappointed. my project is quite short, 5 weeks to be exact so didnt spend much time researching nor coming up with brilliant ideas. hence i guess i dun really deserve to get any award anyway haha. congrats to those who won! having spent so much time and effort, i salute them.

yihang, though you nvr received any award, u yourself noe that u have put in much effort into your research so i think you should take pride in your work. nvr mind if you didnt get anything. life still goes on. dun worry about your h3 grades; they'll be fine. juz dun let this failure affect your passion towards research. jiayou! u can do better next time!

Can't sleep...

2009-03-07T20:57:00.002+08:00

blocks are around the corner and the mugging spree is starting again :( getting straight As is everyone's aim. but ppl tend to mug too hard during this period, till they can't sleep (tt's the theme of this post!)

INSOMNIA!!! i hate it. i dread it. but i can't escape from it >.< everytime during exam time i never fail to get insomnia. JUST CAN'T SLEEP. how? go to bed at 11pm and lie there till 2am and try to sleep? sigh.

came across this article. seems cool.
http://www.googobits.com/articles/1000-fight-insomnia-20-things-that-may-be-keeping-you-awake.html

here are some tips which i think might work:

1. A wandering mind. Meditate, do yoga, or practice breathing exercises before bed. They will take your mind off the tensions of the day and prepare you for a restful night. “That’s the secret behind the old remedy of counting sheep,” says Richard Evans, a sleep laboratory technician and certified hypnotherapist. “You focus your mind on something relaxing and immediately forget about everything else that causes tension and tends to keep you awake.” You can also try keeping a journal and making a habit out of jotting down all the day’s worries before going to sleep. Seeing them down on paper is great therapy and it will ease your mind.

2. Too much work. Make your bedroom a work-free zone. No laptops, planners, or appointment books allowed beyond the door.

3. Going to bed too early. If you have been in bed for more than 30 minutes and still can’t fall asleep, get up and do something else until you start feeling sleepy again. “Choose a boring activity,” says Evans. “Read an old college textbook or watch the worst movie you can find on TV.”

4. Wrong pose. Try sleeping on your back --It takes the pressure off your internal organs and helps your body relax better. Never sleep on your stomach, since it crushes your lungs and makes deep breathing basically impossible.

jiayou for this tough time as we brace ourselves for the final showdown!

你說抱歉愛上了我的好朋友,
我聽見我回頭說:
你們要快樂,
要天長地久。
你們沒有錯,
愛是自由。

成全最愛的人，不是為了看著他寂寞。

学会了放手，
学会了成全，
学会了珍惜曾经拥有。

真心的祝福，
请收下。

2009-02-06T20:22:00.000+08:00

my birthday has long gone (1st feb!) and i m now 18. well, it seems tt u can do many more things when u r 18, like buying 4D and toto, drinking etc haha. will trying buying 4D this wkend lol.

I Believe

2009-01-27T20:40:00.001+08:00

     I BELIEVE　當我在妳家門口
   下雨了　你看了也會難過
   I BELIEVE　妳不說話的時候
   也是一種　其實妳在回應我

 ＊雖然不曾說　相信妳正在懂
   就算牽的不是我的手　我不真的難過

   不知道在高興什麼　妳的笑容
   有時候　也寧可當作妳在為我加油
   不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己 I BELIEVE
   妳總會看到我　在某個時候
   想讓妳陪伴的是我

   I BELIEVE　沒有回應的時候
   只不過　正好妳在電話中
   I BELIEVE　語音信箱的沉默
   也是一種　其實妳在傾聽我

   重唱　＊

   不知道在高興什麼　妳的笑容
   有時候　也寧可當作妳在為我加油
   不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己 I BELIEVE
   妳總會看到我　在一切之後
   留在妳身邊的是我

   那延續太久的一時衝動
   在妳身後的獨角戲　聚光燈沒亮過
   懷疑　是自己編造的內容
   妳從不真的認得我

   不知道在高興什麼　妳的笑容
   有時候　也寧可當作妳在為我加油
   不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己 I BELIEVE
   一定會有結果　在很久以後
   留在妳身邊的是我
   會陪著妳的人是我

p.s. yihang this is the website where i got the lyrics. http://lyrics.dreamnicky.com/
the sad thing is tt the songs available are quite old haha but many are classics :)

Hello, Goodbye

2009-01-20T18:16:00.005+08:00

Hello.

忘了是怎麼開始，
也許就是對你有一種感覺。

忽然間發現自己，
以深深愛上你，
真的很簡單。

明知道讓妳離開他的世界不可能會，
我還傻傻等到奇蹟出現的那一天。

是不是真的他有比我好？
我寧願聽到殘忍的回答，
也不要再被耍。

痴心絕對。

但我知道你的心没有我。

让我把手放开，
离开吧。

請再給我一個理由說妳不愛我，
也许是一种安慰。

Goodbye.

2008-12-26T22:30:00.005+08:00

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger for English Premier League club Manchester United and the Portuguese national team. (quote wiki)

haha i dun doubt his talents; his blistering pace and tantalizing free kicks are sublime. however, his over-blown ego is TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY outrageous.

oh come on you noe he hit my teeny toe and i FELL!

i scored a BEAUTIFUL free kick AGAIN BWAHAHAH!

Manchester United jersey: 30 pounds
Captain's armband: 50 pounds
Ronaldo's kiss: Priceless (bad news to filthy rich Real Madrid)

Twilight

2008-12-21T21:06:00.002+08:00

the twilight glow of the sky charmed me. soon the new moon would arrive, but the arcane night will be eclipsed by the beauty of breaking dawn; light from the midnight sun showering on the lands.

为何

2008-12-20T14:14:00.002+08:00

为何你的手不再温暖？
为何你的眼往别处看？
为何你的心已忘了我？
为何你每一句话都像一把刀，割伤我？

5 weeks at GIS

2008-12-18T17:31:00.011+08:00

The Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) is a national initiative with a global vision that seeks to use genomic sciences to improve public health and public prosperity. As a center for genomic discovery, the GIS will pursue the integration of technology, genetics and biology towards the goal of individualized medicine.

HAHA. I AM PART OF THAT VISION!

well it's damn cool to work in a lab dealing with gene regulation and induction of pluripotency. cant say my attachment was all science XP the 5 kids assigned to GIS are CRAZY.

INTRODUCING...

Our future president, President Jeremy Chee!

Mr. Chan Zeming, the happy-go-lucky fella!

The 2 belles (AH-HEM COUGH COUGH) of GIS, Geraldine & Amanda. Both of them are REALLY CRAZY.

But how can you forget Shi Huan? But he's shy so you cant see how he looks like XP

Ok that's him. He was FORCED to act cute on the bus. SOBZ.

And tt's all of us (with cameo appearances of 2 hot hunks from SigN)

We LOVE GIS and we are one GIS family.

Goodbye GIS :(

2008-12-18T11:17:00.000+08:00

yup this attachment is ending soon (actually tmr's the last day) and i am starting to miss my monotonous, mundane, routine lab work XP well, it is a meaningful and enriching experience to be at GIS doing stuff, mingling with ex-Harvards, Cambridges etc. haha. lol todae my mentor juz asked me why am i still coming coz i alr finished all my work. i laughed.

i tink i will miss that lab coat that looks like an apron, along with the pipette and EXTREMELY sterile tissue culture room. haha and of course the radio above my seat in the lab ;) juz to share a bit of my work, here are some pics i took of my MEFs becoming iPSCs.

see the diff? the pic above shows the iPSC colony with its refractive look and well-defined borders whereas the pic below shows the original MEFs juz 2 days after retroviral infection of Sox2, Oct4 and Klf4.

heehee i lurve my cells coz i am a great father :)

(p.s. i m utterly shocked as this post is nt emo at all. HAHA.)

我哭了

2008-12-17T20:02:00.000+08:00

我哭了，因为我太爱你。
我哭了，因为我想念你。
我哭了，因为我只有你。
我哭了，因为我知道你也在为我而哭。

Procrastinating

2008-12-16T19:26:00.000+08:00

erps i have been procrastinating. homeworks piling up, along with reports to write. this is nonsense. according to wiki, the psychological causes of procrastination vary greatly, but generally surround issues of anxiety, low sense of self worth, and a self-defeating mentality. Procrastinators are also thought to have a higher-than-normal level of conscientiousness, more based on the "dreams and wishes" of perfection or achievement in contrast to a realistic appreciation of their obligations and potential.

hmm...guess tt's me haha.

一个人

2008-12-15T21:49:00.000+08:00

这世界那么冷酷, 我一生寻找那遗失的美好.
我一个人吃饭, 旅行, 到处走走停停. 也一个人看书, 写信, 自己对话谈心.
自己躺在沙滩上, 望着月亮, 听着寂寞在唱歌.
但有你的出现, 我才恍然大悟.
我想成为你的翅膀, 带你飞向幸福.
我想当你的守护天使, 呵护着你.
爱, 是我的美好.
