but then there are REALLY disappointing moments...
sigh...

" Victory belongs to the most persevering~Napoleon Bonaparte "
on a simple calendar page can help lighten the mood a little...
naive as it sounds, it helps to be extra optimistic at times...

what a week...
It's been some crazy week for me....
after completing exams, i've just been working and going to the lab...sleeping at 3 am almost every morning(that's my fault tho...since i've been watching a movie every night before i sleep...=p)but i do reach home at about 11.30 pm avg anyway...
but yeah...despite that, the highlight of my week was....
"WICKED"!!!
omgosh....it was a mind-blowing/spectacular/music/singing/acting sensation!tian was right...i should have got better seats eventhough sitting on Row T was actually enough...it WAS expensive just to buy backrow tix but it seriously was worth it...
grr... i should have bought the music cd instead of the program booklet !!grr...but nvm...it's enough of a souveneir with the addition of the tix...
i wont expose the contents of it but seriously...whoever's a huge fan of broadwayand all that jazz, PLEASE....you must not miss this...
yeah...that was wednesday night...
my thurs and fri was a little crazy now that i'm down with the flu + a sore throat...
Labs have been...lets just say that i was given a 2cm thick pile of just pure research material to read...it's literally drowning in scientific blabber ( media ingredients,techniques, discoveries,research materials...you get the picture....)
the most exciting(maybe gruesome actually...) was watching the researchers "cervically dislocating" 5 mice at a time out of about 20 and then dissecting them(dont worry..the mice die instantaneously without pain)...all this just to get the "ampula" of these female mice located at the uterine horns just before the ovary...it's only about 2 times the size of a needle hole btw....then after collecting these little sacs of embryos (or if the mice failed to mate with the designated male-just unfertilised eggs),they would then - under a high tech dissecting microscope - tear open these tiny sacs to collect the embryos, culture them and then use them for their respective experiments...
cruel you might say, this is what has to be done for us humans to get what WE want...in vitro fertilisation, knowledge on embryonic/foetal development/abnormalities/mutations, vaccines and so on...
but one thing has kept me from fully learning and absorbing all this info....slppe deprevation...
yes...i have been constantly keeping myself from falling asleep every 20 mins in the lab (every few mins when i was counting flourescing cells in a stained embryo) so now i better start sleeping...
BUT...
i'm leaving for the airport at 4 am for adelaide!
sigh...no more sleep but i am so gonna spend this upcoming 4 days devoting myself to spiritual growth and getting to know MORE ppl...
=D yet *yawn...

did you know?
did you know nanotechnology has enabled the possibility of forming a "shell" which consists of a single layer of a charged particle to form a medicine capsule?
did you know that action potentials which initiate nerve impulses are connected to circuits which contain capacitors?
did you know that our heart is a "magnet" everytime impulses are sent throughout its muscular form to enabling pumping of blood?Above is just a magnificent picture of the Earth's magnetic field interacting with the Sun's.
did you know that there are guys (genetically with the XY sex chromosome) can LOOK (phenotypically) like a girl?testicular feminization syndrome...did you know Jamie Lee Curtis(above) is rumoured to have this syndrome?So guys, whenever you look at this "hot" woman...think of how similar their genetic content is to yours...
did you know that there are you are more at risk of exposure to nuclear radiation by sleeping next to someone everynight than someone who sleeps alone?(due to the potassium in your body emitting radiation..
did you know that a scientist Henri Becquerel actually carried a glowing radioactive Radium salt in his vest pocket?
did you know that our epidermis houses billions of bacteria/microflora/other commensals?this includes your oesophagus, digestive tract, your exterior skin & even in the hair follicles of you eyebrows!This picture depicts a harmless commensal known as Demodex which lives in your eyebrow follicles...so next time you feel it itching, think of them...lols*
did you know that parasites can hide in your muscles by encysting themselves in between the layers of muscles fibres thus avoiding your immune system? disgusting fellow....
did you know that the aurora borealis is the spectacular spiralling of UV light emitting electrons caused by the earth's magnetic field?

love...
to always be yourself
to do what you've always dreamed of
to be "high" on euphoria/just plain sugar =D
to have the utmost confidence in yourself
to have a wonderful family/amazing friends
to feel secure
to be surrounded by love
to love...
possibility of any: infinitesimal OR infinite?
you're the judge

Effort...
Energy...
Sacrifice...
Higher priorities...

I ask Your forgiveness...
it is this which is most despicable to me...
