Complexity meets simplicity..
i have officially fallen sick. woke up with a bad bout of flu and puffy eyes. @_# guess i have been neglecting my temple so much so it is now calling out to me to pause in my track and take note of myself. in any case, it suits me well because lately i have been feeling a tad too lazy for tuitions. excessive playtime makes lijun a lazy girl? ^.^
i want to watch Cheaters! it's R21. wahaha.
celebrated val's and siwei's birthday at Mind Cafe last night. i love board games especially those no-brainer kind! did some stupid stuff and darling yee was super hilarious. though there were only 4 of us, we were as rowdy as the rest, possibly due to my screaming? lol. i think i am the only one who got out of the cafe with a hoarse voice. haha.
Happy Birthday Siwei!
finally 21~ the step into manhood!

it's finally the start of the mid-sem break but...... why am i as busy as before, if not busier? trying hard to juggle so many things as my workload intensifies with additional committments. not that i am complaining because i believe what i am doing is right, even at the expense of less quality time for myself. still.. i must really start to focus and study already!
went to Sentosa twice in a week and i'm burnt. nonetheless it was loads of fun and laughter. ^.* celebrating siwei's birthday tomorrow at mind cafe but let's see... only 4 of us? roar! what happened to the rest of 309 people?!

Sincere Lover. You are such a total sweetheart people have a hard time taking you seriously. Sadly, because you are so sincere and sweet you get walked all over. Try to hold your ground a little bit and beware of the selfish lover. The feed off of sincere lovers like yourself. Even though you get used and abused a lot you still have a heart of gold.

yesterday marked the last of organic experiments in my whole entire NUS curriculum. great! no more dealings with freakingly smelly and corrosive chemicals. had been suffering from acid burns on my hands because i did not wear gloves. not to forget i stank after every lab session, the putrid stench was so strong that even my tutee also couldnt stand it. finally i'm freed from breathing in putrid and revolting chemicals! no longer having to reek of an incineration plant. yay~
once again, my confidence has been renewed. received a call from my tutee's father. according to his chat over tea with his son, he came to know that i ranked a higher place in his son's heart than the teacher of the prestigious english class he attended outside. wootz! he actually complimented me and left his son fully under my charge. i do have the potential in teaching k! increasingly, i sense the calling of me in the field of education. *.^
does it matter if no one sees and appreciates what you have done for them? sometimes it may feel discouraged but ultimately, it is worth it! as long as you believe in what you are doing.
the journey is tedious but the victory is sweet. it is also because of the bitterness of the process that makes the fruit all the more sweeter.

decided to get rid of my 3000 foot-long of worries. wondering what that is? it is an analogy by the great poet during Tang dynasty- Li Bai (yes! do not doubt. i studied chinese literature), that will relate to my hair. indeed, my made in Taiwan hairdo had caused me much problems and so i have decided to do away with it. indeed, never doubt the words of a wise man. suddenly my head feels so light and i took some time to get used to it. in any case, i always seem to stun people with my hair styles. lol.
thanks for always having faith in me, believing in me and supporting me.

inspired. if a physically handicapped person can do so much, what more an able-bodied man like us? Nick Vujicic is truly an awe-inspiring, living testimony of the strength and love of God. his positive and cheerful outlook, undaunted by the difficulties he faced, is just so admirable. somehow, all the problems we encountered seem to pale in comparison and yet we often succumb to them. from him, i learnt that we should never surrender to circumstances. with our own strength, it may seem impossible to conquer the mountain before us. with the strength of God, all things are possible! however, this does not mean that we will never experience defeats and disappointments. the truly strong people are those that emerge victorious even when their circumstances do not change. you may still be stuck in the situation but your inner self has triumphed! character strengthened through trials, confidence built through tribulations.
there is a reason for everything that happens, a purpose we have to live out. we may not understand and we do not have to. just trust in Him, no reservations.
lab yesterday turned out miraculously fine. =P

yesterday marked the worst lab session of all time. the beginning of my nightmare which is also the most tragic thing that can ever happen during an experiment. was happily drying one of my products at the evaporator when the unthinkable happened... my entire round bottom flask dropped into the basin of water! argh! i doubt anyone can understand how it feels. the effort i have put in for 7 hours gone down the drain! called the TA for help, who actually scooped up whatever he could for me but.... my product is contaminated by impurities! his suggestion then was to get a new sample from the office. hello?! it's already 430 and lab is supposed to close at 6. and after what has happened, will i still be in the mood to repeat the whole procedure all over again? bleahx.. i was already close to tears okay! what more when he's going to deduct my marks for doing that though it doesnt make any difference since either that or he's penalising me for poor yield! there goes my 36% and it wasnt even half my fault. roar! in the end, the lab staff asked me to continue with whatever i managed to rescue but the amount recovered was a pathetic drop. thank God he also assured me he will give me my pure compound the next lab. phew! but it also means my marks are deducted once again! x_X i am so dreading the next lab...
i'm craving for mooncakes. black sesame mooncakes... pandan mooncakes.. yam mooncakes.. durian mooncakes.. ice cream mooncakes... yummy! i dont exactly fancy traditional ones because i have a phobia of them. thanks to my mother, who used to stuff me with loads of home-made snow-skin mooncakes that fail to make the mark. still, at least she bothered to make them so i should not complain much. though it isnt of hotel standard, the love they contain far surpass that sold commercially. ahaz
going to soak up the sun with darling yee n princess shanz at east coast park tomorrow! wootz~

i'm tired. tired of being nice to people. people who are unappreciative. unappreciative to well-meaning intentions. intentions that are then reciprocated with malicious acts. acts that disregard people's feelings.
does it pay to be concerned about others? sadly, not always. sometimes, there are people who make use of your compassion and exploit you. others only know how to receive but not give, which isnt that bad still. nonetheless, i still believe that you do onto others what you want others to do onto you (positive thinking). that is to say if you like to be affirmed, you should be generous with your praisings too! but as of now, i just want to take a break and recharge myself.
okay. enough of my whining. watched 881 last night at marina square. finally decided to watch with my family because it dawned on me i have never watched a movie with my mother, at least not any i can remember since i am of a discerning age. and so, my complimentary 4 tickets were exchanged for entry for my mother, sister, brother in-law and myself because Daffodil gets in free. ^.* overall it was a good local production considering it topped our box office and it is still pretty full house after 3 weeks of screening. a lot of local humor injected and storyline is one we can all relate to. but somehow i feel that movies made in Singapore tend to have similar style - jokes, jokes, jokes then tragedy strikes. the underlying issue that strikes a chord in our innermost feelings masked by satiristic humor. is it because the impact will be much greater after you have laughed so hard? the director's way of engaging the audience is uniquely Singapore. lol. in any way, it deserves 3.5 popcorns! so if you have yet to watch it, do make your way down to the nearest cinema ya? =P if not for the support of local productions, watch it for the glam blam and Hokkien pun!
praying for a revelation. a long-awaited enlightenment that have yet to come to pass. it may be late but i believe that someday, somehow it will. the wait is long but the fruit is sweet. eventually, my miracle will happen. ~.~
