=*a.r.i.a.n.e=*

yup.. screw it up again.. last core module.. experimental chemistry.. i was super jaded after my biomolecules on sat.. and prob the mood was no longer there already… karen mak was vicious.. her past year papers were so damn easy.. like " what’s the bond to join 2 monosaccharides together?" it’s alpha 1,4 glycosidic… so A level standard right? and what the hell..

i was intimidated & daunted by her first qs on carbohydrates.. the entire trisaccharide was in A B C and we were supposed to CRACK the identity via the reactions and plane polarise stuff blah blah blah in prose form..

her last qs was the worst.. it was DNA sequencing.. and al the 5′ 3′ was confusing me.. until towards the end i was almost driven mad ny the protein synthesized.. and i thought the qs was wrongly phrased.. (cos it’s interlinked) and until i asked karen mak.. and she sort of hinted that my ans in the first part was wrong.. and she sneered at me.. behind my back.. i could see her shoulders shrugging with giggles.. well.. i was also confused in the end anyway with all the insertion deletion mutations.. ATCGCGTTACGGATAC……..and oh yea.. U in place of T in ribosomes………..nvm..

dr ship was so funny… i saw her last thur and she actually asked me for the photo we took on the last lecture.. haha.. well i did in the end.. hope she remembers my matric no in the nus email.. hahah.. and i met her in the lift today while on my way to the library.. she was like ‘hey it’;s you again!’.. i was like ‘yeah.. it’s me again.. and i forget to ask her for the hint later in the exams…

haha…actually the qs that the various leturers set was distinctive and typical of them.. when i saw prof goh there , he was my phy chem lect back in yr 1… i knew i was in for it… anyway.. it’s prob his last day with us aswell… he’s retiring while we all graduate…i’m going to miss the lectuers.. esp.. dr ship.. my self declared god mother and prof khoo.. my self declared god father.. wahaha!

daniel was as usual so hyped up after each paper.. and his bubbly nature somehow just playdown the moments that we brood over the paper… prob he’s kinda stressed recently.. fancy saying that smoking is ‘ gas chrmatography’ to him.. having the smoke as the mobile phase and the gullet as the stationary phase… well.. and we just brought up our topic of commencement.. and some how.. memories of us frm yr 1 just flashed across our minds..

hmm.. good lah.. daniel garry and kevin have all finshed their papers.. left me and stella still mugging for our bahasa this wed.. yay!

KL genting and taiwan awaits me……..    =P

heya!… it’s been a few months back since i last wrote some stuff about my library experience.. and actually it’s differnent every semester..u now.. different semesters.. new faces/

well.. for this semester’s pretty interesting.. there are more muggers in the library during the reading week.. where everyone will prepare for exams.. it’s very interesting to study in the library actually.. you can witness the differnet kinds of muggers…

firstly there are some pretty gals in the library.. well.. good things are for all to see,, nice to have them around… but some times i really wonder if they come to study in the library or to flaunt their beauty around… they are always nicely dressed.. with thick make up and just sashay down the aisle from time to time.. or rather all the time and fancy meetin them in the toilets to do touching up…

next we’ll have the perpetual yakkers.. and i meant PERPETUAL.. they can yak for hours in whispers .. then giggle… i mean the library has thus evolved to a discussion room.. or rather bitching corner…

there are also another kind of muggers.. mainly the kiasu ppl… more common in P*Cs who bring pillows to hug as they study, and what’s more prevalent in P*Cs is having tea leaves in their bottles.. what’s funny is that once i saw a girl empty a packet of milo powder mix into her water bottle and fill it up with hot water from the cooler outside lev 6 toilet and closed the lid and she.. shake the bottle……….

then there are ppl who bring in food into the library… and i’ll fall into this category..the most exaggerating example was me and my friends smuggled subway into the library… ran past the librarains and lay our food out right in the centre of the study table.. and munch.. like nobody’s business… when we saw weird stares around us.. we just brushed it off by saying.. ‘ah.. they’re just jealous we’ve gotta subway in the library..’ i also brought mac breakfast in the library too.. but the aroma was rather embarrassing.. so i brought it out to eat…..

there are also some who bring their laptops… put on their headphones… happily munching their choc and chips with their notes beside the laptop as they watch youtube….

then there will be this ‘phone area’ outside the toilet where all the phone hoggers hang out…

acutally the library is also very unhygenic .. no fresh air from outside.. stale air trapped in a small air con room… should anyone catch a flu.. most likely the rest surrounding wont escape either..

haha.. very interesting to study in the library actually.. muggers of all kinds…

finally 2 papers down today.. left with 3 more to go.. i was super confident for my medicine module today… prob my bio background.. i finshed it in 20 min.. and checked thru 2 times and left at 135pm… when it’s supposed to end at 3pm/.. haha.. record breaker..

i left the exam hall early to study for my IA module… and my ‘god mother ‘ and ‘god father’ ( my lecturers..self declared) loves to torment us by having a HALF open book exam.. only 2 pieces of pathetic 5" x 8" cards… cheat cards to be precise…and we had to practise wrtitng font size 2.5 with 0.2 pen nib… it’s freaky! i sort of screwed it up because the stuff that i wrote wasnt very useful….but the funny things is that daniel me stella kevin were estatic after our papers.. haha… prob.. it’s just us!

4 more days to mug for my bio molecules …. hmm…

it’s kinda weird actually.. no more lab sessions.. and that garry has been bugging me with all the organic stuff.. he and his proton NMR.. not only is it driving him crazy.. it drove me crazy too.. that was the exact trauma i went thru last semester.. fancy churning out a lab report for an unknown compound. and doing all the compound elemental tests possible.. sodium test .. nitrate test… etc.. and then determine the unknown compound you have.. it’s FREAKY..the most horrendous thing is that everyone has got differnt compound.. and i cant even copy my seniors’ lab report (i mean for reference).. i reckon.. same goes for garry.. haha!

went to library to study for my test.. and everything’s going really slow.. pertaining to my revision i mean.. and ended up helping that guy with his NMR spectra report in CBLC… everything drag until half the afternoon was gone.. well.. in return i had a mac treat from him.. (thanks garry)…and back to science library to mug…

everything’s slow after lunch.. metabolism rate affects… *yawn*…and  the zzZzz monster would just huant us.. garry left at 4 and sandy came to join me.. we ended up having a bitching session.. haha..well.. everything’s possible in this world..my realisation is that if you happen to meet someone you like, call it ‘fate’.. if happen to meet someone you dislike.. erm.. i reckon is just mere ‘coincidence’…

and oh yes.. my blog has moved…

it’s a pretty china but cool site..

see ya there yea?

went to lim chu kang to sweep the tomb today… together with my family and relatives.. it’s really a very sweet thing to do stuffs together as a family.. but what’s really new this year is that my autny and my little cousin yee joined us for this mini occassion..

hmm.. time flies.. it’s been 1 year since we last went to visit my late grand father and my 1st granny.. hee.. and the protocol remains the same year after year.. just that my granny can longer join us due to her age and her inconvenience in mobility…

but what i think really amuses me is my little cousins.. they seem too innocent to understand things.. well. not only them.. neither do i.. haha.. they’ll ask funny questions at the cemetery like.. how do my late grandfather and my  receive the money and the clothes we burn to them? who’s going to deliver it to them?

and my aunty patiently explains things to them that their world is different from ours..

"how different?"

that’s what my little cousins would ask.. and more interestingly , my autny and uncle lost patience with them (sort of).. and began to say nonsensical answers just to condescend to their mentality…

"aiyah.. got DHL delivery to send money to 公公 & 大婆婆 .."

and the list of questions just go on…

the way the kids handle the joss-sticks are like some new play things to them.. well..

after what’s really tiring came the sumptous dinner.. thursday ’s 清明节。。
