cold

The lab is so cold, I think I need to bring a pair of hardy jeans there.

Safety first too.

& rule #1 in any workplace = blend in



I'm feeling like an idiot there with my usual skirts.


I hate jeans. As long as I don't wear it in the hot sun outside, I should be able to survive. Even if this means inconvenience to change in & out of lab. (come on, lab coat isn't exactly the nicest stuff.... & I dun understand why the bookshop even bother to sell such lousy lab coats. )

I am hoping that the rashes I get everytime from wearing long jeans are just bad heat rash rather than allergy.



We shall see.

.

speechless.





because no words can even describe it.






period.

busy

busy with work.



& ppl in the lab really makes me laugh










time to sleep!

treasure

One day when the sunlight poured and the wind blew gently
As if it were nothing special
I felt alone that something was changing in me
Slowly, firmly and surely

Though I wasn't sad at all, tears fell down
Because your feelings sank painfully into
The scars in the depth of my heart
And changed it into tenderness

If you come across deep sorrow
I wish you will share it with me
I'll be able to do anything for the smile

lab.blunder.

*walks to the lab, put on labcoat & gloves*

*check protein gel*

me: (thinking) no protein bands again! the experiment failed again *sob*sob

Feel extremely demoralised (coz its 2nd repeat & it failed)

me: *drown in self-sorrow*




MSN mummy : mummy my experiment fail again ):

*mummy still tried to cheer her little girl up. *

mummy: can use egg protein to substitute???

me: ............

(experiment was to induce some bacterial cells to make protein.. but these protein are definitely not those you can find in egg!!!!!!!)

*sms lab mate*
SMS reads "There are no bands ): "

__________________________
2 hours later


*lab mate returns looking demoralised.. *

lab mate: wah, why it doesn't work??? ):

me: yea ): so sad, the induction doesn't work.

*lab mate walks to the protein gel area *

*takes out protein gel & look*

lab mate:
you cheat me!!! there are bands!!!!!!!



.
.
.

me: I checked the wrong gel. =X..... I went to check the ones at the other side! *hides* My gosh, I even complained to my mum tat our experiment failed.

lab mate: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA




gosh, at this rate... I'm going to get a permanant nickname of "sua ku newbie"
o(+_+)"o

*God save me*

a.day.in.a.life.of.cyn.

well I'm bored enuff (or rather procrastinating work) to blog boliao stuff like this.. haha.

so yea. . this is my life


Reach school: before 8.30 am

serious school: lab experiments, lectures, studying at the desk, talk to PI 'bout work.. & the most dreadful studying for exams..

not so serious school: shopping in the bookstore =P wasting time walking at bazaars & actually buying something! (shopping deprived.. LOL) replying msgs in facebook. Joke & disturb frens in the lab. Play piano. Surfing for nicer wallpaper for the lab computer. Catch up with frens in school. Msn (haha!)

special events: sch dinner, department bowling outings. lunch seminar with pizzas =P .. & upcoming departmental welcome tea.

fun stuff outside of school :
-running ( aiming to get back to my 5km days.. running is so nice!) ,
- piano (practice practice!!!) ,
- cross-stitch,
-play stoopid no-brainer games (airport mania)..
- I think I might wanna go for a swim again! ..
- Shopping! =P (yes I am starting to feel deprived of shopping)
- driving (test next week)
- catch up with frens.

food I luv munching arnd: subway!!!! & dumplings from NUH (gosh, i can survive on subway everyday if only its nearby my workplace =/ ) & Mr.bean's little round pancakes

& unfortunately, thats the end of the food I like .. I end up junking a lot this week. gosh, need to cut down on that ): hard to resist nice cute little waffles from Germany, & little biscuits from Japan that other people brought back.

& i had become a fan of rice crackers.. that I dun like potato chips as much anymore! (good for me!)


as you can tell, I pretty much like my life!

except for the study for exams part
& failing experiments! (which is a normal process.. LOL)

haha.


I'm so so so so so so dead for my molecular biology exam this friday


I will be a ghost on Thursday & a zombie on Friday.

funniest sight of the week..
-lab attendant uncle pushing a trolley across the lab ..
-then my fren just put his leg on the trolley & stop it
-uncle cannot move

opening the minus 80 degrees fridge without getting little frost bite. ..
gosh, my skin not thick enuff ):

most embarassing moment:
knocking straight into a door .. two times


most "mountain-tortoise" statement I had said:
wah!!! the protein ladder is coloured!!!

most newbie statement I had said:
me: I want to go visit Numi!!!!!
fren: newbie..........
(Numi's a shop in medicine fac that sells lab stuff)

most crazy email that made me laugh:
email from PI to me & the RA that reads...

Here's your chance!!
:-)

ok, i've finally had my 1st day at the bench.
loads to pick up & learn.

<-- me most of the time.


bottom line = think, remember, think , memorize



I got to talk to a few other ppl from another lab today.. & I had a good time. =) They even invited me to a piece of a chewy nougat =P

We were weighing really boring stuff to make nutrient broth for e.coli.. but there was jokes & laughter while doing mundane stuff.. haha..


i'm still a lil butter finger.. 'coz I haven't hit the lab since quite some time.. but that will change! (for sure. practice make perfect i guess)

happy.day

today's a very happy day..

coz I became pretty hyper..

yea, thats a lot of activities in a day.. but thats coz the sun is soo good today! lotsa pretty clouds, no hot hot sun. nice cool weather!

umbrella.

UMBRELLA???
no, I'm not going to blog about Rihanna's song.. haha.

but here goes

me: *LOUD SIGH*
everybody in the lab looks at me
me: man, I am so angry at my umbrella!
(realising that everyone is waiting for a story.. the PI from the other lab was literally gleaming with anticipation)
me: well, when it rained, the umbrella doesn't work! When it doesn't rain, the umbrella works. Gosh!

Everybody: O_O


haha what a weirdo complain !

but really


thanks to my faulty umbrella which cannot open properly.. I feel like an idiot in the rain. bleagh.
(yea it is so bad, that I even complain here in my blog)

_________________________
HOLIDAY???

me: tomorrow is a holiday right?? *gleaming with joy*
PI: hmm.. yea, you are right. Tomorrow is a holiday.
me: ok! =)
*as I was walking away......
PI: oh, but we're working tomorrow still.. Do you know that???
me: *looking calm* .. oh! alright.
(inside my mind: omg, slavery! there's no experiments to run.)
PI: HAHHAHA. I'm joking, you don't have to come. You can take a day off!
me: ok!
(inside: gosh, I nearly fell for that.. i'm so silly)

ghost

And maybe this time we will be fine
Or else tomorrow
Will be lost

Monday!

funny incident of the day
(reason why I laughed uncontrollably)

I took a stack of journal & went to PI's office:

me: hi, i have questions.
PI: ok.. let's see what you have.. my my, these are really good graphs.. they are very nice!
me:
PI: what? they are really very good graphs!! I'm not kidding!
me: they are graphs that you made~!!!!
PI: oh! really??? hahaha
me: hahaha (cannot stop laughing)... i'm sorry, but its just very very funny that you're praising yourself, and you don't even know it!!
PI: hahahhahahahaa


(gosh, I took 10 seconds before I could stop laughing & start asking some serious questions)

sunny.sunshine

today's a happy happy Sunday !!!


Love the sunny sunshine!

database.search.blunder

well, we were trying to match up a protein sequence with mouse genome..

& this is what happens:


*me rushing into PI's office*
me: you won't believe this.
PI: O_O
me: I think we matched our sequence with a chimpanzee genome just now!!!!!
PI: what?? excuse me??
me: yea, instead of a mouse, we accessed a chimpanzee's genome =/
PI: really? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
me: look look, this is the sequence we extracted.. it says here " P. troglodytes" .. thats chimpanzee
PI: (cannot stop laughing).. what the?!!!!! hahahahaha
hahahaha
hahahaha
hahahaha


laughing non stop.

icons.set.from.raindropmemory

I just love this set of icons

Red little shoes icon set by ~raindropmemory




I'm using it now.


together with rocket dock



ROCKET DOCK LINK

i recorded my desktop =P but just only the top part.. lazy to deal with resolution & all. =P but you can get an idea of what it can become ^^

past week

after one week of lab-ing & doing research using the computers.

i realised how how how important it is to get things well managed in the comp..
coz the information will only get larger!!!!!


I've yet to take a good look at endnote for journals archiving..

but yea, good record keeping is super super important =P
makes life easier too =)



& I am in love with pubmed. =/ great stuff. serious.
instant journals at a search away.

& day by day, I feel more & more nerdy & geeky


my past week's work entails..
-toying around with a protein modeling software
-tracing a "story" of wth is going on.. by swimming in a pool of journals
-reading & memorizing endlessly
-searching for a genome match using database
-laughing at my PI when he started to teach me how to "google stalk" the 1st author of a journal
-helping out with orders for amino acids
-trying to read & do tutorials for modules
-laughing with the other people in the other lab (they really crack super super funny jokes)
-surf the net for anything I dunno
-trying to memorise chemical structures & revising chemical pathways
-attending lunch seminar (with pizza served ^^)
-reading journals endlessly


LAME JOKE OF THE WEEK
(real lab happenings)
girl : I can't find my icebox!
boy : what do you put in your icebox??
girl: ice luh!!!

MOST "HORRIBLE" STATEMENT I HAD OVERHEARD
somebody #1: yay!!!! boss is going overseas soon!!!
somebody #2: yea! love it when he is overseas!!! we're always keeping track on when he is going away!!!

boss = PI = principle investigator

SLACK STATEMENT OF THE DAY
lab guy: 4pm is waffles time!!! woah!!!

MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE WEEK
PI from other lab: so.. are you from the US ??
me: O_O I'm not from US. I'm from N-US.



well, thats life in a blog-shell.

haha.

10 reasons why you should use thunderbird

yea, I've become a thunderbird convert too!!!

super neat stuff
now emailing is soo soo soo soo soo much easier too!!!

1) Check multiple emails at one go!!!!! including a few gmail accounts at one go!!!
(all you need to do , is follow a few simple steps given from ur email account server regarding how to set up the connection!)
gmail: go to setting --> enable IMAP
(how to configure webclients for IMAP for gmail)

nus mail: configuring IMAP for NUS

hotmail does not support 3rd party client.. but hotmail is bad anyway ):


2) Great IMAP support for emails =)

so now, I can check my gmail, sch email, etc etc
(NUS has great great great IMAP support )

3) POP3 like download for emails.. just drag the mails from the other mail server, into your local folder (All done in thunderbird!!!)

4) great way to archive documents in email servers
(I haf a backup gmail account, specially for this!!!.. all you need to do, is drag the email with attachment over to the gmail account folder)

5) IMAP is so great because of its remote deleting!!! GOODBYE JUNKS!
You can delete the mails in thunderbird,... and it is deleted in ur email server!!!
this makes deleting junk so much easier..
eg: delete all mails from OSA = search for OSA mails + press cntrl & A + delete!!!

6) add ons themes= nice interface
(pretty!!)

7) Lightning = calender = yay!!!!
(yes, calander function in your email client = neat organizing
there are other add-ons for calender functions.. lightning is from mozilla too.. that is similar to their sunbird application)

8) instant notification when emails comes =)

9) good security functions, contacts functions .. etc etc.. i haven't even explore all of it

10) this is my favorite.. sorting emails by THREADS!!!
(yay!!! so when emails fly all over the place .. when somebody replies to someone else,.. u can easily follow the entire discussion.. or ignore those u know u dun even need to read )

just go to view --> sort by --> threaded =)

this is exactly how to make your life easier , faster & more efficient !

~lalala.

10 reasons why you should use Firefox

yea... use firefox =P http://www.mozilla.org/

1) spell check .. checks instantly!
(good when you type emails using a browser)

2) Cntrl+ F = find... but instantly too!!!
(super great for quick DNA/peptide seq search.. no need to press enter ^^)

3) quick typing in address bar.. just type a word and u'll find ur webby
(good for quick access to databases, resources etc etc)

4) cute little add-ons to fit ur every need for savvy look .. including themes!
(I got some really cute fat buttons from AZERTY!! haha. My PI was laughing at me O_O )

5) Add ons are just so cool... for example: Greasemonkey function allows for crazy customization
(view my previous post emoticons for blogger)

6) book marking is so much easier = foxmark !!!
(foxmark allows u to sync your booksmarks ANYWHERE!!!! so u can save a bookmark in your laptop, and still access it in your desktop, pdas, cyber cafe.. etc etc..
http://www.foxmarks.com/

automatic backups too =P !!!!

perfect for keeping links of research done for the day in the laptop.. & access it in the desktop later on at home )
love it!

7) multiple tabs loads way faster
(somehow it can view multiple tabs more efficiently.. just check the amt of memory it "eats" using task manager, & u'll luv firefox)

super good for running multiple searches on databases

8) Search engine bar for google on top right corner ^^
(well, IE 7 has that too.. but without it, life is difficult =p )

9) CRASH PROOF!!!!
(this is something IE7 dun haf.. your browser crash, or u close it accidentally.... when u open it again, u're back to the same web pages!!! you don't lose all the pages u haven't bookmarked!!!! )

10) organize bookmarks as if its window's explorer.. DRAG + move it around folders!
(luv tis.. just drag move, rename etc etc, watever u like!)

emoticons for blogger

I was bored, so I did this to my firefox browser.
see!!!! --->

Integrated emoticons toolbar in the blogger interface.. and yea, I modified the original code such that I can put my "angel kao ani emoticons" instead of the original one.


Here is how it looks like on my screen.
(Click image to see full size)


Its easy to add emoticons now!!!!
Just a click of the button =)

The toolbar has a tiny bug though, the emoticon is addeed to the end of the blog post , instead of where your mouse cursor is.. . But it doesn't really affects functionality



Well, this is how it is done.

STEP 1: Install Firefox browser!
<--link STEP 2: Install Firefox Greasemonkey add on.
(click here for the link to download greasemonkey)

STEP 3: Install the emoticon for blogger script for greasemonkey.
This is the original script by Wolverinex02
(note: the emoticons are different from the ones I used)

Just click the link, and greasemonkey will ask you if you wanna install. Just install it ^^

You can check out the other emoticons available by Wolverinex02 here


Now, here's the tricky part I did to get what I wanted.. =p

TO USE YOUR OWN EMOTICONS....
This is the part that is slightly more tricky if you don't wanna use the emoticons provided by Wolverinex02.

1) Right click the link to the script. Then "save target as" into a destinated folder.
Script <-- right click and save. 2) Modify the script code. I'm not sure for other systems like mac, but for windows... right click and choose "open with".. and choose WORDPAD as the program.

3) Wordpad will open the script.. and you will need to modify the following code..
buttons += emoticonButton("blur", "http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/nocturneineflat/tama%20kao/tama-1.gif");

The words in blue are the parts you need to modify accordingly.. The first one is just a description of the emoticon. (in this example, it is just "blur") The second one is the link to the emoticon image. You can host it in photobucket like me =p Just make sure the link is correct.

Modify the emoticon script for all the remaining lines. If you need more emoticons than given, you can just add more of the following section (and modify the relevant parts). You can also delete it if you are using lesser emoticons than given.
buttons += emoticonButton("blur", "http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/nocturneineflat/tama%20kao/tama-1.gif");

Then you need to set the "size" of your emoticon.. at this section:
src=\\\""+url+"\\\" width=\\\"40\\\" height=\\\"40\\\" alt=\\\""
Just change the value of the height and width accordingly. It is in pixels.

4) Save the script in wordpad. Just click Ctrl+S. (*** Do not use 'save as' function, or the script won't work***)

5) Open Firefox Browser & install the script. HOW??? Ctrl+O in FIREFOX & choose to open the wordpad file (the emoticon script in js format) you had saved.. and greasemonkey will ask you to install ^^

and *poof* .. emoticons for blogger =p

NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IF YOU USE FIREFOX BROWSER

haha, I'm very busy nowadays.
but so far, so good =) I like my job.
Even though I haf tonnes to catch up etc etc

Looking forward to lab. ^^
(although I know that I may rant complains about it in the future)


DISPLAY OF MY STUPIDITY
#1: wrong NMR spectra ):
(not exactly the same words, but the idea of my work life is there)
Me: I'm so saturated now. I can't absorb anymore.
Dr: hahaha. I am waiting for you to say that.
Me: (O_O) haha I had a test this morning. So I slept late, and woke up early.
Dr: haha that is always the case.
Me: Yea, but you energy level goes down.
Dr: you're young! energy shouldn't be a problem!
Me: =P haha. I hope so! The test this morning, was all application. =/
Dr: haha. What did they ask?
Me: There was one question on the drawing the NMR spectra for glutamate
*Dr enthusiastically tried to solve the question*
Me: wait wait, its not so complicated. D2O was added, so the spectra is only for the straight carbon chain.
Dr: HEY! thats not fair!
Me: hahha.
*Dr. continue to solve question*
Me: oh my, I got this part different. I put it as 1:3:3:1 peak =/
Dr: Why is that so?
Me: OH NO! It can't be a 1:3:3:1 peak! the J coupling constant is not the same. The splitting won't give you that kind of peak.
Dr: *smile*
Me: urgh +_+"

#2: Forgetting the structure of alanine
Dr: so they replaced each of the amino acid residues...
Me: with alanine!
Dr: yes. Why would they want to do that?
Me: =/ *gasp*
Dr: ok, whats the structure of alanine?
Me: o(>_<)o erm .. lemme try to recall.. *thinking hard*.. eh, can I just check, its in this file right over here. I printed it out that day.
Dr: *smile as I flip file*
Me: OH MY GOSH! Its so simple. Its so unforgivable. Its only a methly group ): man. ... I want to memorise all the amino acids again. I had forgotten everything.
Dr: haha, please do so. Its important.
Me: I just thought it'll be useful. I'll memorize it.
(conversation goes on, & I prob said "I'll memorize it" X 100 times)

#3: Forgetting Gibbs free energy
Dr: what does this table mean?
Me: S is entropy. H is enthalpy. *stuck*
Dr: and G?
Me: *Pawned*
Dr: thats free energy.
Me: OH OH OHO OH! now i rem.. argh.
Dr: and how are all these related?
Me: there is an equation that links them together *diez, I've fogotten it*
Dr: & what is it?
Me: I cannot remember.
Dr: *goes on telling some motivational story about repetitive learning & how we forget what we didn't practice & telling me how useful google is while he show me how to google it*
Me: *stab in the heart*
Dr: there... does it ring a bell??
Me: *looking* *looking* *frowning*
Dr: Here. G= H -TS
Me: OH YEA!!!! gosh.
Dr: & a good way to learn is to write that down .
Me: ok ok ^^


Everytime he asks me a question, he will keep asking until I don't know the answer.
I think the day when I can fully answer without stopping.. is the day when I know even more than wat the textbooks are saying. =P

moral of story: LEARN LEARN LEARN LEARN

hee hee

Dr say I should be like a "sponge".
o(+_+)o I don't disagree.

JIA YOU JIA YOU! !! =]


I'm suppose to try out this software for protein modelling for homework.. its so cute! (alright, only weird cyn might find it cute)

& I need to prac the Arabesque on the piano more =P



Alright, thats all for a lil more blogging. =P

quick.update.

well, work is increasing exponentially. haha.

but tats the way it is suppose to be!

no.post

busy again =P

If I do win this lucky draw, I'll just give the presents away.

I'm so pro at wasting my own time. O_O

how funny. haha.

mid.autumn

beautiful =)


happy mid-autumn festival =)

The moon is perfect tonight.



life is really too short. So why spend a day dreading tomorrow when its not even here? or brood over the past that you cannot do anything about? or believe that you cannot change anything when you're still alive? or worry over something that you have absolutely no control over?


jia you!

alive.&.monsoon

I am still alive and well ^^

(wat kinda blog post is tis?? )


haha.
so to provide some entertainment to the ones who actually bother to come here.. I'm going to brag or rather rant about my latest music luv.
(i seriously don't wanna talk about wat i'm studying in sch.. gimme a break from geekiness =/ )


I really luv Jack Johnson's songs.. =P

luv the mood,
the way he describes life,
and the love he portrays.


Simple, good stuff.


so here's one of my fave from his latest

MONSOON



Daddy don't day dream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there's more than the meantime
Sonny, do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when its gone
How else can I explain?
Because it's only the pain
It's coming straight through
Come into a mind

Cross cut to you - in amazement
Stumbling through the day
You tell me that time - never waits
That's ok cause I don't wait for time

When all of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides, it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
And turn them into monsoons

Make them into mon -
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow
Always break all in due time
Cause time never waits

__________________________________________________
I'm such a day-dreamer =/

one.day.gone.

I need to work harder =/

busy day

busy day of endless readings =P

Suddenly, I'm happy over the fact that I'll be doing experiments at the cellular microscopic level... not some super duper gazillion nanoscopic level of the atom =/
& the largest machine that I might ever ever encounter is probably the NMR... not some super huge particle accelerator

& I can still do test-tubes experiments =P & they some of 'em are visible when u run assays.. (u get coloured reactions! )




____________________________
ABOUT SCHOOL AGAIN.
I can't believe that I actually signed up for a seminar coz I really really wanna go. (O_O)* Its something on molecular biology of cell.. & I realised that I am interested in knowing more about this topic although its not directly relevant.. I thought the crazy lectures on epigenetics at Monster-kill speed killed me =/ Its soo soo fast, you can't even write down or understand what is going on +_+" Reminds me of Pathology classes in the past.

I had to take photographs of extra lecture slides coz u dun even haf the time to digest or copy 'em down. (O_O)

*nerd* ):

think I hafta spend lotsa time understanding the concepts.
Thank goodness, no more endless gorging down drug information without sense.
Everything has a reason & a background experiment.
*phew*


& before u know it, I have test next week! (again.. .. =_=" )


time to work doubly hard (again) =]

Go.On.

I like this song by Jack Johnson. =] good relaxing music to accompany dreadful NMR notes & ridiculous molecular biology tutorial questions.

& i'm soo happy I did some useful piano practice today!!! all thanks to my new-found teacher. haha. & my gosh, Wall.E has a pet cockroach.. & its so cute =P luv the cockroach for being so tiny and cute. (its weird having sentiments for a cockraoch .. are we gonna squash cockroaches still???)








Just go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I wanna to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
The moment that we started
The moment that we started

I see perfect little lives
Watch the shadows of the clouds
And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I'm used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh that I can't help but over think

What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn't ever do
With learning to let it go
Live life carelessly through
You can do the same
It's the least you can do
Cause it's a lonely little chain
If you don't add to it

So go on
Just go on
There's so many things
I wanna say to you

another.week.ahead

YEA! hope this week will be good =)

electric.resonance.

"In secret, counting the hours until the morning sun
How would you know, know what's inside of me
I wonder how
We don't have to be everything else but this


Hear me calling, I'm going, seeking
Time is flowing slowly when you're not around"

Somehow, I feel that this fractal picture I generated ages ago is the essence of the mood you get when you listen to "electric". Weird as it seems, this is from a newtonian formula +_+" (dun even try asking me what it is! I don't know! I'm a maths idiot)

I had finally found the lyrics for 'denial' by airbase. Found it in a forum.. so there ARE people out there who painstakingly try to figure out the lyrics & post 'em. A tiny part of the lyrics is up there.


for the curious, you can go find tiesto's podcast 64 in Itunes and seive through the 50 mins worth of recordings to find it =/ He did a pretty good remix of it..

yea, I'm a bit lazy to post it.. =/ I cut out 2 songs from that podcast to listen in my phone.
The last song I cut out was from podcast 65, and now, its already podcast 74. O_O
I only have podcasts 43 to 74.. and that is 1.2 days worth of listening. =_="
& goodness sake, I don't spend all my life listening to electric music.





Not enough life.. O_O

a.week.of.school

SCHOOL UPDATES (again... yea thats my life, like it or not)

3 words: busy, tiring, happy

& handing up that term paper is the happiest school life studying moment in this semester so far. =)


Gosh, I used to say stuff like how much I don't want to have anything to do with DNA in the past.. & now, DNA is the word that I read or see every other day. O_O
Yea, be careful with what you wish for!




I am serious.





somehow, there's always this karma thing going on in life.. so irritating... something that you just say casually, comes back and haunt u.. =/ or unexpected things happened.. unexpected feelings etc etc


some people call it karma bites back..
some people call it God's weird sense of humour..
some people call it twisted fate..


i just call it..

life.

like.a.waterfall.

I've been listening to Jes recently.
Here's a snippet of "like.a.waterfall', the 'flipside ambient remix' version from "Into the dawn".




Like A Waterfall, it all pours
Like A Waterfall, it all pours out of me

Bulldozer over this, cause I got better places to go
then out of my head, you see
I wanna take a taste, and this old fire,
it lights the chambers
that are burning me like gasoline

When I see a rainbow, bleeding out of the sun
I feel my adrenaline, before it’s already begun ..........

work.frenzy

a break after a working frenzy is soo good!


On weekdays, I really feel like a workaholic. O_O
-reading, emails, more readings, study, lectures, write stuff
