Friend : My mom discovered my condoms!
Me : *shock*................................................ *laughs non-stop*
Friend : That's evil of you to laugh!
Me : *caught my breath* Where did you hide it?
Friend : Underneath my mattress! My new bed came from Ikea so obviously they had to lift my mattress! That's when they saw it!
Me : *trying very hard to keep a straight face*
Friend : Lucky it wasn't a used one......or else....more evidence!

a beautiful miracle

Mary sent me these links while I was doing my report just now.

These 2 are a pair of non-identical twins!!!!!Girls! A Jamaican mom + a German dad! It is already very rare that the mom produced 2 eggs at one go and she had to produce 1 egg with predominant dark pigmentation skin and the other predominant in fair skin! The Jamaican mom is of mixed parentage as well... but ssstttiiilllllll what are the odds??

"It's probably a million to one,'' Dr Withers said. "It's a terrifically rare phenomenon.''

And one of the links showed this: BLING H20

Its a bottle of water that costs .... a freaking USD 35!!!!! Yeah, you guessed it, it's just the bottle.The thing that really makes Bling H2O stand out, is the bottle, which is hand-crafted and decorated with Swarovski crystals. Swarovski crystals you know!!!!!It makes your ring from Swarovski looks almost normal eh?

deluded...are we?

I received one of those forwarded mails yesterday, titled " Things that will never been shown to you".
And I have been pretty disturbed ever since.

Don't know who are all these people?

Yes, they are the US soldiers with the Iraqi people.

You see, a few days back when I read that President Bush wanted to change his approaching tactic to Iraq, I mockingly laughed and said, "What kind of tactic have you been using besides blood spillage and MORE blood spillage, both of your own people and the Iraqi people?"

He said that although his tactic will be changed, his goal remains the same, that is to say, his goal is to achieve victory.

Bush added, "Our goal in Iraq is clear and unchanging: Our goal is victory. What is changing are the tactics we use to achieve that goal."

-quoted from Star

And his victory means buliding a self-sustaining government for the Iraqis.

Sigh. I seriously didn't know that was his main goal (we still don't know how true it is). I have always thought that P. Bush wanted to retaliate on the 9/11 and well, he has to do something about it as a President. Sorry, I am pretty ignorant when it comes to politics but I have never really agreed with P. Bush's idea of invading Iraq. His troop of US military have registered a number 2700 deaths since the invasion back in 2003. And you know, when you talk about war, I don't know why, but I always have this image of soldiers bullying the people in Iraq, torturing them, raping the women and such!!! Forgive me again. See? That's why I am so disturbed when I saw these pictures! I don't know how true are the pictures but urgh...I am burdened by it.

To the US military ( if the pics are really true), my heart and well wishes go out to you all.

To the family back in America awaiting the return of their husbands, daddies, brothers, sons... I salute you, for the courage you have shown.

the hip and happening babe???

Shen Ting: Go check your mailbox!! Anna and Yu sent you a very very nice card that says so much about you!

When I saw the card, it says

"Birthday Wishes for A Hip and Happening Babe"

Don't get me wrong, I love these girls who sent this card to me and I simply adore this card but really..does it say anything about me???(knocks Shen Ting's banana head) *laughs*
I may appear (notice the italics) hip and happening in Penang but here???!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHA I practically grow roots around my chair in my room! ( roots + not going out that often = signs of getting old)

That aside, the card is so sweet! And both of them apologize for not being here to celebrate for me... aaaawwwww but it's not your fault, you know, that you don't get to celebrate with me! I chose to come to Sg myself...HAHHAHAH *hugs*

I wish I have the body to pull that off...*laughs*

Here's the content of the card. See the music note? It glows in the dark!

Thanks Yu and Na! Another 2 close buds of mine...sweeet sweeet birthday...

On another non-related issue, I want to complain! My Green Monster is not sprouting any grass!!!! *pouts* I have been pouring water everyday (well, not lately cos I gave up hope on this poor thing) and nothing comes out from his head!

I called it GREEN monster because it is suppose to sprout green grass!Please live up to your name, pretty please...????

Sigh.....what should I do with you Green Monster????

human rights

I was just wondering...how much rights do we have when it comes to afflicting pain in other animals just to preserve the mankind?

Sigh... Being a life sciences student and an animal lover at the same time is just plain... SAD. Disturbing. Whatever.

Do we have the rights to inflict such pain on these animals just to find a cure to disease? I know that some may think that it is such a small price to pay when it comes to these animals, in return for like a cure to, say, cancer. Some think that in order to find the cure, sacrifices have to be made. Inevitable, they say.
But don't you think that we humans are the ones who are the cause for these diseases? It is through urbanisation and environmental factors and god knows what humans can do that put onto mankind what we have today. And then, the poor animals have got to suffer in search of the cure. Is that right seriously?

Can't guess what it is? That's the poor mouse's uterus. That needle there is to transplant a mutated "baby" into this mouse, now acting as the foster mom. If the mouse gave birth to a mutated baby, and the mutated baby has the mutation the scientists wanted.... then GOOD. The mouse and the mutated baby have served its purpose.

I don't know, really. It is unavoidable, I think, to use all these pitiful animals as model organisms for disease study but then again.....

SIGH.

birthday post 2

okay i know the picture is a bit unclear but the main thing to show are the crabs my darling cooked ( the 2 plates at the side..see?) and the little piece of cake he bought! cant see the chicken balls he made though..ish.. ooooohhhh!! i love the white wine!

drumrolls....

tadaa!!! presenting the cook himself! *cheers*

I have a few other pictures taken on my birthday but Sally hasn't sent it to me yet...birthday post 3 then!

confession?

My darling told me today, for the very first time, that he can't live without me. I haven't had that said to me before :)

*hugs*

Thank you honey...

close to heart...

I have just came up from checking my mailbox and in my hands, I have with me, one of the most beautiful things I have ever been given to in my life.

It touches my heart so, to know that in between all her wails that she has no time to finish all her assigments, the endless tests that kept coming and her always-late-but-better-than-never replies, my dear bestie has spent her time, put her skills into use and made me a beautiful frame of her and i. This girl has insang paried the sides and pasted nicely cut felt strawberries and flowers all over the frame and has put our picture that we both love best inside!!

I am speechless, I am.

I feel even worse for not doing anything for her for her birthday ( I suck, really). I never show her how much I appreciate her being with me throughout all these years. Sure, we have our ups and downs and we've bitched about each other (don't all girls do that? And that was way back in secondary school). This bestie of mine, is like the most genuine person that I have ever met! You know, when you have doubts about yourself and people tell you, " I am sure you can do it!!", somehow I do think that certain people say it just for the sake of saying it. Like, you know it is the most appropriate thing to say at that point of time. But when Shen Ting tells me that she believes in me and that I can really do it, I really do believe her wholeheartedly!! I know she really thinks that I can accomplish whatever it is that I have on mind and I do, honestly, appreciate her for the confidence she gave me. It is this confidence that has brought me along my way, through my toughest time of all. It is this confidence that I keep reminding myself to go on, and to instill in me, self-belief. And for that, I truly am thankful of your presence in my life!
*hugsss*
By the way, did anyone tell you I love the present?

And thank you honey... these hearts are like a reminder of how much you love me each time I put it on me...I love the 3D thingy...*muackkss* I know it is hard for you to buy so so many things and carry it back, to try to cook and make those fabulous chickenballs, steam the crabs, cook the spaghetti, to decorate the room and write my card for me, and all this happened in what?? less than 3 hours??? my darling is amazing right?? =) He always and still amazes me, you know?

It is like one of my best birthdays, really. It is kinda sad that I don't get to celebrate it with my family but 2 of my dearest people (besides my family), the 2 who are closest to heart, the 2 who are so important to me, put in so much effort and went through so much trouble for me on my birthday.

*weep*. I am so blessed.

The life sciences conundrum

It is so convincing! I think Prof Bose is so right on Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences) with Honours holders from NTU! I have learnt so much over my time here (although many will not agree :)), I am no expert biologically but I have learnt skills that not any Tom, Dick or Harry could have! heheehe.....at least, thats what I think...On a more life-based manner, I have learnt that "impossible" is just a word. And to tell someone that you are entirely "wrong" is wrong yourself. It is these values that my profs have imparted to me over the semesters and that I do realise me being more analytical and when you put analytical skill to daily use, thats when one becomes judgemental???? hahahaha not directly linked but I do think that there is some contribution in it in one way or another. For one, I can't do proper story writting anymore...I become...too dry? *laughs* gosh.....I do hope that I have learnt these skills if nooootttt biological skillllsssss *wails*. At least make my 4 years here, a worthwhile one. What if I don't even have any of these skills!!!????? *wails louder*

This pic looks cute at first glance but I do think it is utterly insulting!! We are not for washing test tubes! We can do so much more than that!

Even if we are for washing test tubes, it requires a certain degree of skill, you know?! (gosh, it sounds just as bad now...)

birthday post

One of the few quiet birthdays that I've had. And I enjoyed it! It was just my close friends and I out doing something for a change instead of sitting inside a concrete air-conditioned lecture hall and breathing the fresh air again, reminds me of the surrounding beauty and that there is more to life than just poring through the text books and endless notes.

HAH. One of the times that I feel that nothing else matters as long as the birds are chirping, the wind blowing at your face, and feeling the warmth the glorious sun spreads upon the earth. It is things like these that we tend to forget and take for granted. I think it is just me, that I can stare into the sea for endless hours and nothing runs through my head. Serenity. Plain splendid. :)

And I didn't know that my darling could be such a sweet man! Whipped me up a dinner of spaghetti and steamed crabs! *mouth waters* You are such a waiter and a cook hon! It is far more wonderful than any stuffed toy or roses that you could give me....*hugs* each time I think about the effort you put in....I just love you for it. wink!





he is just plain sweet right? *dreamy smile*

you and i

It's so great to do this! But wondering...is this a good way for self expression? =)
