Home is where the Heart is

It was a rather last minute decision to go there today. We just decided that the night before. Was contemplating between Science Centre or USS but decided to go to USS instead since they are currently having 20% discount.


We had our breakfast as Harbour Front Centre and took the monorail to Sentosa.

Went for the Shrek 4-D Adventure and Donkey LIVE at Far Far Away. Very fun and entertaining. Went back to Ancient Egypt for Revenge of the Mummy. There was some attractions that we missed or didn’t dare to try Maybe that gives us an excuse to go there again next time. Ha-ha..

Took many many photos. Super tiring but it was really fun

This holiday was quite well spent. I really enjoyed myself. 


4th December 2010 - R3 Dinner 
Went to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao at Holland Village for steamboat buffer treat by our profs. Yummy! Too bad I forgotten to take any photos.


6th December 2010 - A day @ SYC

2009 is coming to an end, so is the semester break. One month of holiday seems to have past so quickly.

Right after my exams, I had to attend the Sunburst Youth Camp 2009 organised by STEP. Similar to the previous year, the friendships formed and experiences gained were invaluable.

Campfire Night! Organised by the ACES :)

At Outward Bound Singapore :D

I slept for almost the whole day after the camp (although I kept falling asleep during the camp *shy shy*)

On the 16th, we went out for shopping and walk along Orchard. Nice Christmas decorations, too bad it was raining, making it not so nice to walk. But it was enjoyable anyway. Photos in a separate post :)

I took a plane for the first time to go back to Malaysia on the 20th of December2009. It was really exciting except for the continuous delay in the flight. Attended Michelle's 21st Birthday Party and manage to catch up with my friends whom some I last met 4 years ago. Spend the rest of the time with my family, going out, visiting people and eat lots of good food.

Came back to Singapore in the 27th of December. Met up with our new RAD and discuss the activities for the coming semester. We had a mini Christmas treat by Dr. Gerald too.

Went to watch Sherlock Holmes at GV Max (I was so tired that I fell asleep not long after the movie started but manage to wake up in time for the climax)

Visited Bo Chao's house and his mummy cooked yummy duck + pork ribs noodles. Nice Nice. She's really a good cook.

It's New Year eve. So many things happened in 2009.

Hope you have a Happy New Year and a better 2010!

My internship is officially over! Yay...We had lunch together at Earle Swensen's. Throughout these 3 months, I have really learned a lot of new things. It's truly an enjoyable experience although there are days where I just sit in the lab and not doing anything. But...that's not the end, I will still go back during the semester to continue on my project. Hopefully I can complete the project as soon as possible:)

Tiger! I haven't seen the bottle of thing he holding before.
'Haw' the tiger! It's located at most of the entrances

'Par' the leopard. It's one pair:P

Many many more photos that we took. No time to upload all:P hehe..they are in facebook:) After almost 4 hours visit, we went to VivoCity to have our dinner at Terra Cafe:P Just opposite Swensen's.

So many things had happened recently to the extent that I'm not sure whether what I'm going through is worth it. I could have just gone home during this holidays, not doing my internship, not becoming a resident assistant and not having to help some people to be their messenger.

I don't really mind helping people as long as it is within my means but can't they be more polite when asking for help. It's you that want my help yet you are asking me as though I'm the one that wants your help. I don't like being 'shouted' (I can't think of a suitable word, maybe it's just the tone that you are using) at especially you are asking for help. I have no obligation to do what you asked me to. It's not even my job to do it.

Someone came back to bug me again asking for some ridiculous 'help', but he will never be able to do that again. Thank you for helping me to get rid of him. I'm guilty for not telling when it first occurred. I was thinking that it would not have such a great impact. But now I realise how serious the problem can be after putting some thought into it. I'm really really sorry about it. I might need some time to get over with it.

I'm also missing home. I haven't gone back for more than half a year, the last time being Chinese New Year which I was back for just 2-3 days and about 2 weeks in December. And I foresee myself not being able to go back for holidays so soon. Being a resident assistant means that we are required to be in campus on certain days and remain contactable and we are only entitled to 10 days of leave per semester. I will need to use about 7 days for my camp in December and will that mean that I will only have 3 days left to go home??? Mummy said it's okay since she can come and visit me whenever she thinks it's convenient. But I think the feeling will not quite be the same? Dunno :S Maybe I will feel much better when the term starts. I'm just too free these few days.

I'm also starting to get bored with my work. It's been less than 3 months and I'm already bored of it. I wonder how am I going to survive in the future. I guess what my friend said is true. Why do we need to work so hard when at the end of the day, we will not have anything? What's the purpose of life then? I have yet to find out :S I'm looking forward to some 'real' holiday. I'm tired of having to wake up so early in the morning, going to the lab and not having anything to do. If this is really what a researcher does, I really have to reconsider.

And I totally forgotten about our welcome fest event yesterday. Really sorry to the committee. I will do better next time. As for the meeting, I really didn't mean to forget about it. It totally slipped my mind.

I know in the past few weeks I've hurt someone really badly and not knowing how to make up for it. Even need the person to tell me what to do. Really disappointed in myself.
