Today we went to do spring cleaning and mural painting at some of the less fortunate's home. My group that has ten people only need to clean their living room and their attached room. I think i didn't really did much because things i want to do are already did by others... So i just wipe around the places...

There's this time when my teammates are cleaning the bed, or rearranging the bed; that's when i really don't feel like going into the room. Cause they say maybe got bedbugs, and i really don't feel like bringing them home.

But i really enjoyed doing the painting on the wall, though didn't get to paint a lot as need to let others paint too =). I only get to paint the dark pink colour (as compared to the baby pink) underside of the flower and 2 of the yellow colour flower.

Then after that, we went to IMM Giant and Diaso to get the items for car wash!

Went to a night market yesterday! The night market consist of booths set up by local designers and artists. We shopped for a few hours there, like around 3 hours. But of course in between we went to sit + chat in the cafe there.
We actually walk throughtout the market for more than 3 times, until I was a bit overwhelm by the things there. Every time i walk past the shop, I was saw something i want to buy. In the end, i spent like more than $40 at the night market. The realisation that i spent too much came when i was on the bus. Lucky my mum didn't know about how much we spent (大姐！不要讲出去啊！）.

Then at the night market, i bought a $26-worth of stuff at this booth, because they sell lots of DIY kits. I bought the DIY kit for earrings, hair clips and rings. So today, i went to make the earrings! But now, i think i wasted my time doing it; coz I got homeworks, datasheets to do and tests to prepare. And all are due next week!

Hai~~, all the stress are making me spending lot of money and making me do a lot of ridiculous stuff, haha!

Yeah! I finally did this squirrel felt. Couldn't find the time to do it earlier (cause was busy with sleeping and watching all those dramas, etc). Originally was thinking how do I cut out the squirrel picture on the felt or should I paint instead of using felt. Then yesterday's art and craft session gave me an idea how I can do it. So before school reopen next week, I think I better start doing it today. And yesterday I bought this really sharp, really nice and easy to cut scissor! This way there won't be a lot of 'fur' at the edges.

Haha, I'm impressed wth myself for cutting out the squirrel in the right shape, at least i think it look like one. Feel like cutting out the owl shape or deer shape next time. Aiya, too bad I don't have any more white/neutral colour recycle bags, or esle I can made some more bags and give others.

Maybe I should find something esle where I can paste them on, not just recycle bags. =).

Look a bit like rabbit without the tail...

Today went to the (primary) student service to celebrate their children day. Wah, after today, I think I'll never want to take part in children day event. I know that children are hard to control, but I never expect it to be that hard… We had to depend on the staff there to help us control the kids, but that is not until 10 minutes later.

We played charade, a game that is a bit like catching (which we had to stop halfway because of the noise made at the void deck). So we changed to playing Musical Chair with music blasting from iphone. The programme ends with an art and craft session, which I greatly enjoyed most because the kids are more cooperative (after getting a scolding from the staff because the kids were fighting).

Is funny how kids become a lot more cooperative when you threaten them with presents or threaten them with things like calling their parents or banned them from party next time and how they can quarrel over small matter. But they also remind me of my childhood, how little things like a packet of stationary would thrill me and how much I hate those who grouped together and bully the others, as well as how scared I am whenever someone of higher authorities threaten to call my parents.

Haha, honestly, I’m glad I had outgrown that period.

Went to do Mooncake today! First time doing mooncake and initially, the mooncakes came out was a bit strange and many was rejected. Almost the whole big plate of mooncake was rejected. So we have to redo them. Then because too many was rejected several times, our leader went to look for the chef to help us 'troubleshoot'. Turn out we left our snow skin in the air for too long and can't wrap the fillings or shape the mooncake properly.
Haha, so after lunch, everyone in the group was like expert in making mooncake. Shape was right, wording on the mooncake is more obvious and speed of making was faster. The mooncake actually is a bit difficult to make, especially the shaping part, cause sometime the wording and sometime shape don't seem to come out as obvious as it should be.

Trays of ingredients for groups to take/replenish. Different colours=Different taste =), like green tea or lotus flavour.

The chief demonstrating~.

Some simple steps to making moon cake!

(i)Prepare the skin and filling.

(ii) Row them into balls and wrap fillings in skin.

(iii) Put them into the 'template'

(iv) Squeeze it in.

(v) Slap it out.

(vi) And your mooncake is out!

Some rejected mooncake for volunteers to take home. But these mooncakes are just rejected because the wordings is not very obvious or just because some of them the fillings can be seen frm the outside.

Yeah! Exam is finally over! Have so many things I want to do this holiday, especially after that horrible stressful 2 months since July.
Today when i checked my mail, I saw this email forwarded by a teacher. After reading it, I felt that what Steve Jobs said in the speech is really true. I quoted this part which I felt what he said was very right:

" 'I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.' "

After reading this paragraph, I realise that finding something you like to do is really important. Now that I'm in a science course, I know that I really hated science. I hated how the industry is so small and competitive, and how one research needed so many years to do and needed so many evidence to support it. I think it is too late to back-out from what I had chosen and started. Despite that, I still don't know if I really want to settle with science. But for one, I know that in science, it won't "gets better and better as the years roll on", at least I think that's what going to happen with me.

And seriously, not everyone can do something they liked and get rich like what Steve Jobs does.

Saw this video on YouTube. I like their dance. I think the song is also quite cute. So, I went to search for the orignal MV on the song, the MV is actually quite funny. With all the retro dance steps and everything. And if you listen to the lyrics, it just hilarious. Both the guy and the girl are talking about the same thing but different version, haha.

Yeah! My japanese rose finally blossom! I thought they won't blossom already since i bought them for so long and never respond at all. Saw the flower today when I woke up at noon. So I quickly took picture of it before it wither away. By late afternoon, the flower already started to shrink and when the sun is completely down, the flower already disappear. Seriously, the flower have short lifespan but the plant can live quite long, after all, there are a few occasion when I didn't water them for quite long and they still survive.

Another one is coming~~

Did some artificial seeds for Thursday's plant biotech practical. Bought some of the seeds home, thinking that maybe I can grow them. LOL, but then, my friend said she heard the teacher said that it can't grow unless suitable growing condition/nutrients are provided. I already packed the seed home then know. So decided to take some picture then throw it away. Don't dare to put it in the refrigerator, scare later the CaCl or sth diffuse into my food then later everyone gt poisoning or sth.
Actually, the practical would be quite fun, if I don't have to worry about contamination and about growing fungi instead of the plant. And plant biotech's datasheet is really not fun to do at all.

Flow Cytometry report is finally done!
Rush FCY report the whole day on thursday, from 10am in the morning and didn't sleep until 5am in the morning. Why?
Simple, because somebody in our group happily went travelling without completing her part and left everything to us to complete. While she's enjoying her life, we are here rushing report for her all the way late into the night. What?! She still say she will complete her part at night when she's oversea. HAHA, LIKE REAL. And best of all, she gets to have the same grade as us!
I ended up sleeping until 7pm yesterday and got a horrible headache because of all these late nights. Slept at 5am on Thursday morning and woke up at 6.30am. Then because of the report, i ended sleeping at 5am again on Friday morning. So in the end, only slept for a total 1.5 hours for the two days. How can don't get headache like that! Thanks ar.
