Not happy..

I should be feeling happy as I have one reponsibility down and now I can concentrate all my heart and mind on my studies and honours project. But suddenly some issues popped up that really make me not happy at all.. make me feel really cheated and disappointed.. maybe.. I am the one who has misunderstood things and expected too much.. this heat that built up in me has already burst out once but I still feel some of it remaining in me.. appear now and then in my mind.. how can I concentrate to do my report.. Argh.. so frustrating.. I just have to be more determined and force it out of my mind.. it's over so don't think so much!

Rag Day photos

I have uploaded the photos that I took to this link
http://picasaweb.google.com/starsfruit/RagDay07

not very well taken becos I took them from the side and was blocked by the mics, chair and people.. these are the best I can do liao lor..

Well done Sci fac! I was so happy when I hear all the awards that rag won that I want to cry lor.. it was better than what I have expected and the other faculty floats are worst than what I have expected lor.. why this year standard not so good.. sci one is so magnificent.. but next year must try harder on the recycling part and least cost.. if not very difficult to get best float de.. it's not only me feel this way lor.. I also hear others made the comment that we are doing float just for the sake of winning and lose the objective of using recycled materials and being environmental friendly.. using a lot of paints and new expensive papers do not really fit the theme..

but it's still great that the rag comm are so creative in creating the designs and muthu's mechanism.. I feel proud and happy to be involved in helping to do some of the mache and painting.. and it's great that we still hold on to the most coin collection award and the flag gold award.. to beat biz on the 60% seems like so difficult but I believe we can do it becos we did it before.. 2 years ago..

1 more strong competitor is coming up.. which is SDE.. they always do well in float, getting best float for 3 years already and they are improving in flag also.. they will catch up anytime soon.. so has to watch out for them..

Is it worth the 45 mins wait?

Yes, it is!
Yesterday after rag day, so hot, thirsty and hungry and wanted to get an air-conditioned place in marina square to sit down, have a drink and eat.. then someone suggested Waraku.. it is a japanese pasta restaurant.. okay.. never tried that before so it is something new.. then when we reached the restaurant, we saw so many ppl waiting outside the restaurant.. oh my goodness.. is it really so good? maybe it just open.. it's a new restaurant so many ppl are curious and wanted to try.. haha.. so are we.. and we are told by the manager to come back 45 mins later.. and we just waited by going to mac to have a drink first.. haha.. and I say I will give it a thumb up if it really worth the 45 min and the food is really so good..

and I really want to give it a thumb up! I ordered a seafood spaghetti with tomato and cream sauce.. the pasta is not bad.. seafood is fresh.. just nice to fill the stomach.. not too much that you will feel sick in the stomach.. which is the common problem for some pasta restaurant.. before the pasta, there is a small bowl of salad.. which I really like.. haha.. I like salad! After the meal, we still ordered dessert.. I had a fruit ice-cream shared with yuan yuan.. really like the corn flakes at the bottom.. hee..

The salad..

Yuan and me with our pasta!

I finished everything.. yeah!

A candid shot taken with our dessert.. haha..

A spicy olive oil that I never see before.. there are two small chillies soaked in the olive oil..

We received $25 vouchers after our meal there and the safe-keeper of our vouchers is junjie.. haha.. sorry yah.. the photo not very nice.. but it is very funny.. worth putting on my blog.. haha.. and this is the proof that our vouchers are with you okay.. hee.. cannot try to fake yah.. or be uncontactable.. haha.

Facebook is really interesting.. haha..

I actually is very lazy to set up another profile.. I have friendster already.. why need another one? but my friend has uploaded the photos that I want in her photo album in facebook so no choice but have to set up an account lor.. then just now I go and explore a bit.. it is actually very interesting and quite addictive..

it has all the interesting applications there.. and I added quite many of them..haha.. you can be a vampire who bite others.. you can poke, hug others, show your emotion, ask ppl for their honest opinion of you anonymously.. have graffiti on your wall or send videos or photos to ppl.. have your fortune predicted using fortune cookies or have horoscope predictions.. and also cast spells on others.. haha.. there are many many these kinds of applications..

never know it is so fun.. should go and try www.facebook.com

HOW?

HOW stands for Honours Orientation Week.. haha..

Ppl asks me what I am doing in sch this week, I told them I am having honours orientation.. and they will give me a surprised face.. doing honours also has orientation.. a bit unbelieveable right.. only chem department has this.. it is not a O Week that you will ice breaker games to let you know your fellow chem honours students or the profs.. haha.. somebody asks me that.. but it is week full of some useful and also boring talks.. like today.. I am wondering whether the statistics lects are relelvant to me.. slept thru half of it.. it's really boring.. some parts have already learnt before in sec and jc.. and the lecturers are boring also.. oops.. hee.. got one talked so softly into the mic that I cannot hear what he says and one rushes thru and I cannot catch what he says and feels so lost.. hope tmr talks will be more interesting and more relevant bah..

Seen my supervisor yesterday.. yes.. I have confirmed my honours project topic.. it is "Organometallic Complexes of Quinine for new display materials".. it has both organic and inorganic.. and analytical also.... has to use NMR and MS mah.. From the leftovers, I found this project which is interesting to me.. I don't know why nobody wants this proj.. I heard this Prof not bad.. but may have high expectation lor.. maybe becos he is the HOD mah.. from the list.. I see I am among the 2 who took his projects.. surprisingly.. he has 10 over proj but nobody wants.. maybe inorganic is not popular.. apparently the other person who is taking his project has not contact him yet.. and I may be the only one honours student he has this sem.. and the lab officer made a comment that they have to "zhen xi" me the only honours student..

don't know why.. after meeting him yesterday, I felt a bit scared.. feels scared that I have to do the organic synthesis independently.. really scared will screw up everything.. what if I failed to synthesize anything.. what if I don't understand what I doing.. what if I even simple things also cannot do properly.. what if I cannot meet the expectations of the prof.. a lot of what ifs are in my mind.. quite intimidated by the lab and the equipment lor.. and I will have to go for trainings to learn how to use NMR and MS.. thinking of that.. I am a bit scared liao..
