Start of Exam week...

Dear people,

This will probably be the last time you will see me as I will suffer for cardiac infarction by the time I finish with all the revisions, handling all the work and many more things.
My boss will be sending me the vetted curatorial minutes and I will consolidate all the report for exhibit updates when the curatorial gets back to me.
I guess I would have to bug the Head keepers for information :P

Anyway, the day has been too sucky, without walkie talkie, I dun have any ways to contact sections. Anyway distributed all the meal coupons too all the sections, BUT... left Sealions and gibbon isle, no rep is able to make it. I have to go in the rain to all the sections to distribute the stuff. But its good, I can talk to the keepers, and interact with the pretty ladies more. Wendy .... Droool~~~~~~ lol. She's pretty ^_^
Chill boy, down boy...Woof Woof...
She like cats, not dogs :P whahhaha... Big cat keeper, beauty, guts and a nice figure to match. Too bad I don't see her often, and good thing too, I will nose bleed till I am dry or drool till dehydrated.
Anyway, my heart is with another, well till it last ba Ooops :p

Did an incident report, Nawawi fractured his finger, poor guy... Hope he recovers soon. And Andrew, a horticulture guy, clipped his fingers, took a day of because of a small cut and took MC after 2 days of the incident, dunno what he's thinking lor -_-. Instead of working on his department matters, keep looking at other departments hoping to make an impact there. I mean... Do your work well, and If ya good, your ideas are rational, and there is an opportunity, then you go. Don't go harpping with HR and education dept for a position please. Ahyohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

After more running around, went to lessons for CAB with Dr. CJ Koh, If he teach like tt for every lessons, I will enjoy and maybe pay more attention lor. lol...
But whats over is over, I will only see him in 3rd yr BIOCHEMISTRY OPTION!!!!
HURRAY BIOCHEM!!!

MY coursemates will be, the intelligent Michelle, the big papaya with tree head Nor Sepat, XT. The rest of my kakis will be in pathology module :(
I will miss you guys, I do hope that our friendship will be everylasting.
Yes my tweety bird Jos, Tim the Gorilla will predate ya up... slurp kekeke...

After lessons, went to lot 1, bought a pair of cheap drum sticks, finally I decided to buy my own sticks instead of using the arcade's. With all the bacterium etc... lol.



On other matters, I din know that MSN when import contact is thru hotmail... sorry for adding unnccessary people (Not that you are unncecessary) but hey, pardon me for any inconvinences caused ya? Thanks.

Ok... arcade... increased my SP points by.. uhmm 30?? lol... my skills are only 200 + now, which is a bit shitty lor. People can go up to 1000 ++ Sp.
I am determined to train my DMGF to over 1000 SP. Which means I have to play a lot of extreme songs soon. Only 2/3 weeks. play once a week, progress slow.

Played DDR with JNJ, got a good break today, pass CHAOS on extra stage, and completed 50% of one more extra stage CHAOS. Well, I need to train harder, lose weight.
Plan to start AA training. BUT, after exams.

I dunno if I wanna go Australia with Barrie. Unsure of the cost, and don't wish to go back to a land which left my heart broken. Yes it still hurts, the scars left behind are healing, but it bleeds sometimes, all the way up to Singapore where sometimes facing the sea, can feel the wound.

Though maybe will see someone I like, tts out of point... the things I had been through there, is fear enough.

NEway, enough for now, gonna catch up on some studies... Everyone, JIAYOU for the upcoming exams ya?

Exams Exams Exams...

Going to have my exams soon, too many things to study, too little time to study.
Oh how I wish I can control the fabric of time, to go back to the past to change or go through life again.

Studying for MGMB now, still haven finish book one, nor the rest of the subjects too.
Still have book II to carry on. Life sucks but it still has to be carried on.
What problems I might have, memory of facts, too detailed, can't remember.
Oh well...

I been thinking about her lately, how her smile and her gentleness warms my heart, how her rimmed glasses enhance her beautiful eyes, or how intelligent she is?
Hardly talk to her too, just a hi along the corridors or juz a helping hand sometimes.

Have to work on my studies and relax with some GFDM later...

Exams Stress

Final week more to the exams, to de-stress, went to Lot 1 Zone - X today, played DMGF V3, BM and DDR... ^_^ Use the bonus points to change la, darn broke now.
Shouldn't have buy the charger, but its worth it I guess.

Guess who else is there?? Alvin, Mich, Furong, Edeson, Jon, uhmmm who else?? memory a bit blur now... oh ya, still got ms strawberry shortcake ^_^ lol.
DMGF side, got the usual players, think its Kang, Icycloud, Charlene, WEST-Side :P and uhmmmm few more which I dun know well.

Picture of LSD playing double while the rest watches in envy :P



Lets just say today is a day to relax, but I will be revising some HPP later on.
Very tired sigh...

Earthday activity

Dear friends,

Sunday 23rd of April is Earth Day, its a time to reflect what have you been doing, as a citizen of not Singapore, but of great earth on what contributions you had done.
I was volunteered for a mission, to be in a group of 40 odd people to pick up rubbish along Mandai lake road surrounding the resevoir area.
Our team comprised of few handsome chaps and we went of a shopping spree of litter that was thrown there for dunno how many years. Total amount of rubbish collected was 1.4 tons, not a bad hull for 40 people.

Our day opened with the adoption ceremony for the upper seletar resevoir.
With the director of PUB coming to present us wif a token of appreciation.
After the rubbish picking, was treated to a KFC lunch.





Anyway, the day went eventfully, spammed a lot of credits on DM and DDR, which was good stress relief on the tension i have about the upcoming examinations.
Hopefully tomorrow I can go arcade, but I would like to study more though.
I went above 200 SP for DM, DDR no new records, turning from bad to worse, DM --> still hate the song Diamond, darn...
Now learning Red Bells advance :P
Jon is still starting to learn DM, poor thing, hurt his foot so cannot DDR much, Come on Jon, in grown toe nail can play still ya?
Do your best in the games, you got better co-ordination you can do it.

Yesterday's Arcade session pics...





An interesting twist of event on MSN tonight, but that will be a little secrect to be kept in my heart. Positive feelings yes... can move on? Dependent on how you wanna look at it. ^_^

Tomorrow is Therese's birthday, sorry gal, I wanna study and getting pissed drunk is not the way to do it. But I do bid you a happy birthday and pray you will settle your heart down to study. I love you a lot gal, and wish the best in your life kay?
Nor & Lala, if ya going to Rese's B'day please help me pursuade her to go back studies, I had also told Barrie Bro to do the same.

I am too stressed out in studies, look at me table, all my stuff thrown around... too many things to do. Work and studies and BGR, lol... not too much on BGR though. No results came out. No improvements too.



HOW TO WORK WITH SO MUCH STUFF ON THE TABLE??? CLEAN YOUR ROOM YOUNG MAN!!!!




This is wat was left after the conservation workshop yesterday, over ate and filled with sugar.... ARGH, sick sick scik, no wonder DM cannot make it. :P
Somemore in shirt and pants, cannot DDR too.



Thats it for today... Good night all...

Thursday, 19 April 2007

Long long day today...

Its been a long and tiring day today...

Early in the moring went work and did some normal admin stuff la.
After which went to prepare for the conservation workshop. Sucks lor, squeeze 30 ppl in the boardroom. Don't have the logistics support for it. Luckily I have a very special lady to thank. THANK YOU DOREEN!!!! Yeap, she's the PA of the exec chairman. I guess she is a smart lady ba. :P She helped me get the chairs needed and other stuff. She's nice. I hope:P

In the afternoon, straight after the morning meeting, the curatorial meeting started. I was 1/2 dead liow lor. ok that went alrite i guess. But tomorrow got to minute 2 meetings. Die kok stand lol...

I feel sick all over, tired, and disappointed. sigh...

Went lot 1, played few games of DM, failed on stage one a level 19 song. I think i go hide my head in the toilet bowl ba :P Oh yah, JNJ was wif me...

Thats the gist of it, will update some pics of the meeting, and some other misc stuff.

How? Directions?

I Talked to her today, she seems happy,very happy... satisified? Not too sure.
Anyway, I like her, too bad cannot express how I feel for fear of negative feelings.
Who like mushy guys? ^_^
Macho Macho man la la la....

Work was okay, spent a lot of time on the CITES documentation today. Prepared for tomorrow's meeting. Hope nothing goes wrong though. The workshop is going to be separated into 2 groups. I guess during their brain storming session, I will be shaking leg in the board room first hee. 28 people bombardment... wah kaoz...

Exams are getting nearer and nearer, my pressure will go higher and higher... lol.
Luckily I think I might have that cure... a special certain someone.

No mood for gaming, well probably GF/Dm still incite my interest somehow. Of course I will settle down my heart to study. Nor, Lala, I hope you 2 will do the same. I know that there are a lot of distractions in your life, be a dear and finish exams before you get distracted by other things ok?

I would like to wish all my classmates for the past 2 yrs, all the best in their upcoming exams too. Believe in the power of prayer my friends, and believe in the one I am giving for all of ya for the exams!! lol. Yes, even to those I do not like... please stduy hard and seeya in the final leg of the race.

What is love, might it be the everbright sun that embraces us with all the warmth, or is it the moon, which pale glow enchants darkest of skins. Is it the bond between mother and child, brothers and sisters? Or is it the yearning of the flesh?
Love is a confusing topic, and its not my strongest one too. Been in and out too many times, easily in love, but not easily maintained.
Love is a feeling derived from the brain, not the heart. My theory is that it serves similar to a positive feedback loop. Example childbirth where oxytocin is released to increase contraction of uterus. Love is also stimulating your brain to keep on going for someone you already have a positive feeling to. This vital piece of the brain is unknown, but its burned in all humans. Regardless of Osama or the little twit down the block, all of them have a form of positive feeling for someone, AND the feeling is further enhanced thru the positive feedback loop.

I update till now, will edit again later when i feel like it.

Buay Koon

I promise myself that I am going to write proper English in my blog...
Should I?

What am I going to talk about since I cannot get to sleep.

Gaming History, my school days, my friends? or maybe just my average dull life.
Regardless, I will probably present some life science facts for my friends to learn?

Bio-snips? Corny but good name.
Today I will be talking about Angina.
Angina pectoris to be exact is the feeling of chest pains caused by the insufficient blood in the heart to function properly.
Angina is primarily caused by blockage in the main circulation, decreasing the blood flow to the heart and hence the coranary circulation (heart circulation).

Angina cannot be treated but can be addressed by the use of beta blockers or ca2+ blockers.
Don't trust me on this though, consult a doctor before consuming any medications.
I am not too sure if these 2 can relieve the symptoms lol.

ok. sleepy now. Hitting the sack... i guess. Too stressed out to sleep these days.

Darn Test

Jialat...

So tired again... Strech.. yawnz...
Did the stupid test... so far all was well, but in one part the selection of certian colonies of cells chosen wrong. WTF?
My criteria of choice was 30 - 300 CFU, while in that, any amount of CFUs also can be used, i forgotten that total CFU undiluted under 300 can liow... sheez. Basics all fogotten.
Anyway, went to arcade after work for a bit.
Seen DM, GF, DDR... got players, feel sian to wait so decided to go home.

NO pics today too :P How to smuggle pics of the exams?? whahahaa...

Anyway, my thoughts... should be more life to bemani games. I guess I can pursue my interest in writing music again, playing the keyboard, skating, losing weight?? lol... NO.
Really should concentrate on studies...
HPP, MGMB, CABL... all 3 killer subjects.

I guess I will have the highest confidence in CABL, being most interested in Biochem the most. Followed by a large distance, MGMB and then tightly follows HPP.
HPP is really a strange subject. We have to study the human physiological aspect, as well as pharmacology aspect. How much are we suppose to know, or how much do we need to write?
Well I guess this is suppose to be 2nd nature to uni students. Have to be mature to know as much as possible and to attempt the impossible.

Lets see... I covered DNA repair mechanisms today.
DNA damanged (Potentially at 260nm) because closer to frequency of UV light. Damaged DNA will form 2 type if dimers, one potentially lethal (cyclobutane dimer) and one is highly mutagenic (6-4 photoproduct).
Resolution of damaged DNA comes in 2 forms of mechanisms.
Light dependent and light independent mechanisms.

Light dependent (requires photo activation)requires an enzyme as photolyase, it binds to pyrimidine dimers and uses energy from visible light specturm (370nm) to split the dimers apart.

Light independent (3 types)
* Excision repair - removal of damaged DNA strand followed by synthesis
* Recombinational repair - uses the good 3' 5' stran for repair
* SOS error pronerepair - simply put, anyhow dump nucleotides to try salvage cell from death.

Excision repair - uvrA and B ID dimer damages, A then leaves and C binds to B and introduce nicks on either side of dimer (8 nucleotides on 5' and 4/5 on 3' side)
After which urvD removes damaged strand, and repaired by DNA polymerase I and DNA ligase.

Recom repair - RecA protein is important in this repair. Undamaged parental strand recombines into gap opposite dimer leaving gap on the other parental strand. Gap in the undamaged parental stand filled by the DNA pol I and ligase, thymine dimer can now be repaired by excision repair (refer to above).

Haven cover SIS error prone repairs... very tiring lol...
But i know recA and lexA regulates it ba... after which 30 protein genes are expressed bleh... too many to learn now. Gonna log off and sleep.


Prayer for my love...

My love my love,
to God I pray,
every once in the night,
when the stars shine bright.

My love my love,
When I pray, I say,
To you everyday,
thy heart won't be grey.

With true love I say,
I will be with you always,
Thru all hardships will endure,
I embrace you in the end of fall.

Winter comes, my heart won't go,
No void promises, true as gold,
like rose petals, delicate soul,
my soft hands to hold your soul.


My dear, this I give you. Though its all words...
Please forgive me for I have been busy.
I don't have time to provide you happiness.
Please don't be angry, nor forget me.

In essence, I give my heart to you and to say I like you a lot.


Ok... upcoming for me...
Thurs morning: R&C Brainstorm meeting
Thurs afternoon: Curatorial meeting
Monday: CABL Test

Have to remember to give Michy the MS office pro disc...
And DL the drumming game for her ^_^

Vieve's B'day.

Yesterday was Vieve's birthday and she decided she wanted to celebrate it the zoo.
She came with a few of her friends total 5peeps. Hmmm probably working in a resturant allows her to snack from the kitchen -_-. Yes Vieve, u know what i mean.
Anyway

Our pic @ the zoo.



Following which, I sat back in office a little to chat with the GR ladies in the office. Nat and Wan Ping ^_^. Ok, learn a little more about them and about the stress encountered in operations.

Went Lot 1, but only played one credit of DM, with lousy scores. Hmmmm has an interesting way to play the V3 machine heh heh heh... hope no one rectify this bug.
And the friends seeing this, keep it a secrect ya? ^_^

Kok up sia... me and Jos spent almost an hour last nite trying to figure out calculation procedure for MGMB test today. AND ITS RAINING NOW! how to go classes like that on time? sianz... oh well. can sleep in the cab ba.

Ha ha ha... ref: previous post on sour plum. Her name is suet? sweat?? Sweet? wadever. Added her on friendsters and along with uhmmm one other gals' name. Icycloud and kang. The rest if i haven added ya please add me. provided u know me first :p

Today is a bored day... did nothing but surf net the whole day. Then went do CITES cert digitizing and update blog.
Later on have to go school for my MGMB test. Proly 1/2 way go pon, wun wanna stay whole day :P

Home version DMGF Masterpiece Gold. Currently only can go till level 40+ songs. Cannot go higher as I cannot press the hi-hats fast enough. Guitar... who ever think uses PS2 GF is cool, go TELL person to FARK spiders.

Day 1 of me quitting cigarettes... tahan and endure... will be ovrr soon.

GFDM training

I had started challenging myself with the GF DM in the bemani series.
So far my score still sucks big time lol... esp in GF, with the freaky WAWA and the darn buttons that dun seem to respond rite.
Thats my own problem though, i seen others play no problem though. lol...

Saw a female GFDM player that goes by the name of "sourplum". Quite good looking and very good in this game.
Some background obtained from her, currently 19, 2nd best GF player in Sg. saw her trash a level 70+ extreme song with little problems. Enough about her ... ... ... ;p Dun remember the song and dun ask me wad song too.

Finally achieved over 100+ for DM SP. My IIDX is way higher than it, but hey, no IIDX in Sg, so dun complain ba. DDR do not have SP skills too, which lead to an interesting conservation with the players today at mac. Smoking and chatting and eating and crapping... totally chilling. Just dun remember my studies at all.

Came back home, started to hit the books, molecular genetics and medicial biology, starting on cell adhesion. Better do more revisions than DM. Gonna fail = no good for me.
Sianz, wat i learn?? uhmmm cell adhesion molecules, why vit c is essential for skin formation etc... Vit C is a co factor that hydroxylation of proline in ER, that is impt for stability of collagen triple helix, non-hydrated degraded in cell than secreted as normal. And most regulated tissues/ cell affect first. Jialat, 2 pages of notes from 30 over slides.

I am not a cam whore and will never be, lol... So no shots of things today.
Oh ya, DM level 3... so wat?? My aim is to reach SP 1K, and I am stopping. So i would need to pump in a lot of dough for it -_-
Planning to get dip sticks tomorrow, plsy with the arcade ones had me develop blisters, though is small and I had worse in NS, still, dun like to have any part of my body injured lol. When injury, cell undergoes mitosis to replace it self, and this means DNA replication. As DNA replication, there is a small chance that it will get wrong, or mutated (i smoke too much) and hence may develop cancer. This is happening everyday in the body. Eg: when u eat, food friction occurs at the throat, and the endothelial cells needs to constantly repair themselves. Thats why you have vitamin C (see above lol...) If dun have, your teeth, skin etc.. will not look that good and sooner or later, fall of WAHHAAAAAAAA.

Shit, Me nerdy mood liow.

Tomorrow will be going DMing hee... OR ... Stay home study like a nerd :P
Will study though, as exams are important to progression.

Need to tgt for CAB... hate that old lecturer, but no choice, been thru and now have to go thru lectures without him.

Sourplum.. hmmm suddenly i have craving for her.. i mean it. :P
Honestly, i feel like something leomony... hmmmm i maybe fat, BUT not pregnant whahhaa.

No structure, no grammer, no spelling, my blog, my way... la la la.

Long time no update...

Finally... I got some time to update my LJ.
Been so long and so busy recently.

Ok, today workplace induction, got around to visit behind the scenes aspects of the zoo. Of course a lot of new people were there, met few nice gals... :P
But no sparks i guess. -_-
Why?? I dun even know their name, because i went to the wrong place for induction lol...
Nope no pics of them, because its improper to take picture of gals w/o permission :)
Anyway here is the pics of the lemurs I had fed juz now... lol.



After work went Lot 1 Zone X played DDR, GF and DM... -_-
Hmmm I will get a table of scores up soon, but will be after 2/3 weeks as gonna have exams.
Will be heading down again to try my luck lol...
Still too used to auto bass for DM though, GF and guitar hero totally different... darn.
My DDR supernova double non stop... got Full combo again, but my score is + 0.1 from before... -_- shitty...



Always have problems with Da Capo song... double or single... shitty...

2 gals that looks good... hee... one from Pizzafari and another working in the ulu ulu resturant kitchen. nice gals. But i afraid not my type ba, why?? I look so antique lol... Guess I am much older then them. But then again, I had gals older or younger than me :P
Try to get my heart true to someone ba :(

Exams 2 weeks time... stress out now... sigh.
