Product Invention suggestions
Chinese New Year is coming, and out the CNY cards go. They are red and pretty. Opps.. made a mistake.... Is there any red correction fluid so that my mistakes dun glare at me (and the receipient of my card)? Same goes for other coloured greeting cards.. Wacky idea, but makes mistakes look good.

It's not as easy as it seems
I recall one of my primary school teachers, Mrs Low, telling me that her University was the best time she had in school. Looking back the 3.5 yrs I spent in Uni, I do not quite experience that much joy she had then. Perhaps time was different, perhaps she studied what she enjoyed, perhaps.. a whole host of reasons (or unexplainable resons) may be avaliable.
Environmental engineering was my 1st choice. I thought I would get to study certain things. However after these years of education, I feel that this particular field in the university was very often slighted, with another more 'prestigious' branch given more 'attention' or more space to develop. I only ended up liking a few of the classes I took. I'm not satisfied, not happy. I do not feel that my potential is realised. I do not see much future in it. Maybe I'm more of a "Jill of all trades, Master of none" person- too specialiased/in-depth topics push me away.
Perhaps, that one elusive niche is out there waiting for me to seek it. It's a matter of time before I find it, and maybe get into that "dream" field/job. But I hate waiting. Waiting makes me fustrated and furious. However I do not know how to start. Cos I tried quite a lot of stuff, and already cancelled out jobs I would not see myself happy in- sales, insurance, research, anything inside a cleanroom, planning...... How much more to go?

Pray hard
I was absolutely devastated by the news that my research results might be wrong! How could this happen to me? Not when I'm like 2.5 weeks away from handing in my FYP research paper! Not when I'm quite a diligent lab worker... going to lab almost everyday in the hols, and before that, skipping a lesson or 2, and rushing to do lab in between my precious breaks! Please... be merciful to me... Please not let it be a mistake... I will not be able to take it

That ER show
ER is one of my most most most favorite show, along with my infatuation with Wang Li-Hom... haha. To both of which I'm addicted to: "You make life so much more colorful!"
PS: ER is now showing on TV on Wed nites, at 11pm.

New start to a better me?
The beginning of a new year (well 2005 is still a tender 5 days old as I write this)... and it spells the beginning for new things... new resolutions, new prespectives, new way of thinking, new whatever.
Perhaps I should set some new resolutions to make myself a better person, learning from past experiences and make more people love me. *Keeping my fingers crossed*
#1: Keep cheerful. Remain optismistic.
I think for the past year or so, I'm becoming more of a grouch. Often being grumpy and impatient about a lot of things, even getting very upset over small stuff. Thankfully, my family and friends had been very tolerant and forgiving to me. Most of the time, they let things happen the way I want it, despite contary to their initial plans. Thus in order to thank them, I must try to keep myself in a positive mood and not lose my temper that easily.
#2: Lose weight and be more confident.
I think my JC period (and the time a little after Sec. 4) was the most confident period I ever had. I always looked upon it as my most fulfilling time (apart from the crap results I got during the term time). And that was also the time when I felt that I could fit into most nice clothes. Nowadays, the non-active Uni life have rendered me in a lump of huge mass. While out with various different group of friends and with my sister, I feel rather inferior abt my oozing fats. Privately at home, I got various nicknames relating to this particular condition. Thus I think it's high time to shed some weight and regain the confidence I had five years ago. But to do this, it has to be coupled with resolution #3.
#3: Discipline & committment. Minus fickle-mindedness.
Been slacking off on things that needs to be done. And this is one area I do not have much success in, and it get worse with each passing year. Finally evolving into lack of decisiveness now. I really have to whip myself and put in more effort to complete things and set myself to see things to the end until it's done. And also decide on whether I should go for that outing or spend the time at home with my family, blah. But sometimes, it's quite hard to choose and honestly my brain cells would rather sleep than think too much. :P
Hmm.. that should be enough for me to try to meet and fulfill. I shall try hard. However, honestly, I hope I can do it. Jia You! Jai You! Super Pig mused on 6:45 pm

Frustrated!
*growl* (with white teeth clenched)
It's not that I don't want to progress with lab and get it done and over with... Went to lab, and yet again, because of $$ and lack of 'resources' I can proceed anywhere in my research. (not that it's not going to be fully completed after this step that I was planning to do... But!...) ANd this is not the 1st and only time... It happened so many times that I can't even be bothered to count. Luckily I had my lap top with me now.. At least I don't need to spend 2h coming to school and going home (another 2h).

Bye 2004. Hello 2005!
The rain finally stopped. It has been raining incessently for the past, I think, 4 days. Almost 4 dark gloomy and wet 4 days of non-stop rain. It started with a heavy afternoon downpour on Thursday, when I was nursing the bruises and swelling from an accident I had the day before.
However, I feel that the continuous rain was sort of more for the victims of the Asian Tsunami. It was as if Heaven was weeping for all the loss and sadness that marked the beginning of 2005. Or maybe the sky was crying because it had made a terrible irreversible mistake that took away so much innocent lives.
A sad ending to the year 2004. Hopefully the new 2005 will bring better things in store.
