my ice skating "adventure"

I am the world's most horrible ice skater ever. Ugh. I just suck at it. Went to Alpine ice skating rink this afternoon, 1 day special for 6 bucks nia. cheap ler?

Anyway I thought I'd at least get the hang of it after a few rounds, but alas, I ended up falling flat on my butt and bruising my knee caps quite a lot of times. yeah, pretty embarrassing but what the heck. haha. my 1st time, wa. Don't blame me.

Thank goodness Liudmila, Eric n Yang were terribly kind to take turns to guide me and hold my hand. Actually I found Yang really kind to support and hold my hand through the last hour or so (quote:"Just hold my hand and I'll never let u fall..." hiaks hiaks) and even offering me his jacket...come to think about it, it would even be slighty romantic if it wasn't for the fact that he is, well, YANG. haha. Funny thing was, when he saw that Frank came later on, he asked me to hold his hands by linking my fingers between his. It sounded kinda weird then, but I was too busy keeping my balance that I didn't think of the fact that he might be doing that to make Frank jealous. whatever. haha.

SNZ assignment worth 20% due on Tuesday. argh. headache...

bio, bio, bio

Somebody help me clear my mind. It's spinning with thoughts on what degree should I do next year, and what job will I be doing for the rest of my life. Sounds really scary. I got lucky, again, and stumbled upon a biologist's blog. Here's an exerpt.

"the whole human cloning thing is totally retarded. i mean, just because some human beings have the capability to do bad things with some new technology, does that mean we should all suffer and remain in the dark ages?? not to scare anyone, but many of the techniques that people use in a regular biology lab could be easily tweaked to create some terrible bacterica (though probably not deadly) and released into the environment somehow. it's not that hard. the fact that people haven't done it is, i think, a testament to the fact that we scienctists are mostly peaceable intellectuals. we just want to understand how the human body works in order to help cure disease. i know that's so cliche, but it's true! and what about other "good" ideas like guns? police use them in the name of the law to protect us, but everyday how many "bad" people get a hold of them?"

I like this guy already. *smiles*

when all u've ever believed in is a lie

oh WOW. "The Island" was fabulous. simply awesome. the action was great, but what appealed most to me was the fact that it was so realistic. The storyline is also straight to the point, precise, and interesting. It was quite long, more than 2 hours, but the movie just left me wanting more.

It's mostly themed around biotech n human rights...and it really made me think should i or should i not choose biotech as my career in the future. yea i may avoid that particular branch of molecular genetics, but now i'm almost certain that i'd stick to psychology or forensics instead. oh well, i still have no clue at all what should i major in my degree next year, and if the path i choose will help me find a job that i want. its just not easy deciding on something that shapes your entire future. and i dun wanna rush and end up making the wrong choice or regret about it.

Anyway, the weekend was quite relaxing, sometimes boring. what to do when the town itself is boring, eh? oh, i read finish harry potter. somehow i kinda expected that dumbledore would die in the end...but i just hate the sad ending. hmm. i can't wait for the seventh book to come out. maybe i should buy more novels to read, since going to the movies is damn expensive. knot wait till i get back to cat city, can watch more movies and not think about the hole in my purse.

yesterday's post

these few days had been surprisingly GOOD. not great, but good enough to make me smile at the slightest amusing things (like Masaki saying "no cheating no surviiive..."). *grins*

1st of all, i received a parcel from home. mum sent me my new specs (yes, my old ones are broken somehow) and a few magazines. that made my day. then, i got my Harry Potter book from Rebec. yea i know that its a great controversy on whether HP books are suitable for us to read, but i'm just reading it to fill up my leisure time and relax my mind. thanks a lot, Rebec!

Today was strike day, as i mentioned. i slept in, did a lil revision, then walked- yes, walked to the uni for my chemistry test. though i could save my time n effort by using e bus, i figured i need e extra exercise n walk to clear my mind for a bit. thank goodness it wasn't dat cold today. hehez. btw chem test was pretty easy, forgot e answer to a question though. but no worries, its only taking up 5% of my finals.

Another thing why i'm still smiling now is coz of my fav tv show of all time. Sex and the City. yeaps. season 6 is just starting in NZ. and i LOVE it! hehe.

On to the more philosophical side (ahem), how many exactly can a person experience "great love"? some may think just once or twice if you're lucky, but i think dat the number is not important. wats important is how it affects u, no matter in e gud or bad way, coz eventually e bad side of a relationship always has a gud intention to it. Seriously i dun rili tink dat much about bgr relationship now but if it happens at the right time and the right occasion, then so be it. but for now, i'm happy with my stable relationship with God. It's the only relationship that won't fail.

PS: just found out dat Jess got chosen for JPA scholarship!!! wao congrats to u..u rili deserve it gal! she's going to taylors then to aussie. sigh~ yet another time when i regret not applying for any scholarships at all. oh well.
