Cell Bio is nuts. There's a crazy lot to memorise, and understand, esp since I've not been attentive since the second lecturer took over and portion is freaking heavy (AND BORING).

zomg.

2103 and 2104 (yes, that huh-what-is-this-about-what-have-we-learnt-so-far module) is making me depressed shit. This sem is just screwed, I say.
I miss last sem. =(
Doesnt help that I've been plaqued with a horrible headache yesterday and today, slept my afternoon away for both days.

The Singapore Airshow is really overated. The air display was wonderful, but not really worth the crazy 2 hrs plus we took just to get there. We couldnt drive in cos we had no car labels, so we walked from some neighbourhood car park to the interchange for the shuttle bus. BUT THE SNAKING QUEUE WAS HORRENDOUS. I've probably never seen such a long human line before. So we cabbed in instead, which didnt help alot cos the whole road was jammed up. Besides, we took almost an eternity to get one, cos we either got turned away by the cabbies or there were alrdy pple flagging before us.
Missed the first part of the air display cos we were stuck in the cab which was like crawling! haha!
And the wierdest thing of all, they DIDNT check our tickets. Luckily for us, we managed to get complimentary tix (courtesy of Donald), else we would have wasted $40.
There was seriously alot of waiting and squeezing!
And like what I told Lenny, it felt qt abit like some refugee camp!

My favourite!

Thursday was good, its been a while since I've been pleasantly surprised. :))
Caught Jumper with Lenny. Not tt lousy, but it isnt very good either. A tad too exaggarated.

And yesterday it was Kelly's 21st at CafeBiz at Traders Hotel. Delectable, gratifying and tantillating buffet spread. We ate damn alot, I was feeling bloated and pukish at the end of it. Ah, glutony. Gave up going home on my own after the arduous walk from Tanglin to Orchard station. Seriously, Traders Hotel isnt exactly that far from the train station, but I was feeling so UGH along the way la. So I got my very nice parents to fetch me home hahah.
I've nv felt so full since....forever.

Back from dinner at Uncle Johnny's, and it was a very nice affair with very good food. There was this eurasian curry feng that I particularly liked, but sinful with the blobs of fats in there. Also, we had quite a few unique eurasian food and deserts, pies and ice-cream. No pictures cos I was too lazy. heh. Actually I've been feeling full since the reunion dinner. haha. So this CNY was just eating without really appreciating the food. Which is such a shame! Food aside, I really enjoy spending time with the extended family, I adore the kidsss so much, but its such a pity we dont get to meet up often except during special occassions, cos everyone's just so preoccupied with their crazy hectic lifestyles. =(

And yesterday was my first time to this revolving restaurant near HarbourFront. It revolved so slowly that by the end of dinner, we only managed ONE revolution. The restaurant felt somehow like Hongkong cos it had this v v Chinese feel to it. Scenary was pretty too, cos it kinda overlooked the keppel and sentosa as well =)

With maternal grandma and Pamela the cousin














Broccoli with mushrooms and some bamboo pith thingy


Deep-fred fish that was seriously drool-worthy, my personal fav.


Spice fried chicken, tasted kinda ordinary for the exorbitant price


Fai cai with clams and trotters


Asparagus, once of the best greens that could have ever existed, with prawn balls/fritters/whatever


Sea-coconut with fungus and I think atap chee

Sigh, sch resumes next week. SIGH. And assignments due next week are such spoilers. They screw up whatever festive mood there is. =(
Well, at least the past few days have been good, and there's the gathering at Uncle Johnny's to look forward to tmr.

Mummy, Daddy and Sis

Hi all, Happy Chinese New Year!
Pardon the series of shots, cos Patrick was trying to get the lighting right!

Clare, my Sis, and Pam







cousins from the maternal side

for every episode sings a tune,
melodies that evoke thoughts of all sorts.
shades of emotions, like the rainbow's hue,
why, the only variant of the lot.

amongst the beautiful wave of ecstacy,
wrapped up in that blanket of fantasy.
in pursuit of the epitome of all goodness,
its must be another wild goose chase.

The Leap Years, based on the beautiful novel by Catherine Lim. I want to/must watch it.


This has to be the only local production (so far) with the theatrical trailer good enough to capture my attention. Beautiful cast (think Ananda Everingham, Lilin and Nadya), wonderful music and a lovely storyline. It was shot 4 yrs ago, and its only gonna be released this year cos this year's a leap year. Seriously, I hope this doesnt disappoint.
It opens Feb 29th. I cant wait, and I hope I have the time to go catch it.

Extended family reunion dinner with the Yaps yesterday at Uncle Johnny's place.

sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted. Seriously.



Grandma, some of the adults and kids

My VERY HANDSOME (and tall) cousins.

Issues that plagued some of my friends, I've never once thought I'd have to face them too.

Breathe Again (Toni Braxton)

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again

And I cant stop thinkin about
About the way things used to be
And I cant stop thinkin about
About the love that you make to me
And I cant get you outta my head
How in the world will I begin
To let you walk right out my life
And blow my heart away

And I cant stop carin about
About the apple of my eye
And I cant stop doin without
Without the center of my life
And I cant get you outta my head
And I know I cant pretend
That I wont die if you decide
You wont see me again

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again

And I cant stop thinkin about
About the way my life would be
No I cant stop thinkin about
How could your love be leavin me
And I cant get you outta my mind
God knows how hard I tried
And if you walk right out my life
God knows Id surely die
And I cant stop doin without
Without the rythm of my heart
No I cant stop doin without
For I would surely fall apart
And I cant get you outta my mind
Cause I know I cant deny it
And I would die if you decide
You wont see me again

If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again

I hate the on-off headache. It makes me feel like crap. =(
































Anyways, heres a lovely song. Breathe Again by Toni Braxton. Its sucha classic, I never get sick of it.
