Proteins & Proteomics Exam + Belated Birthday Present

Today is my 1st day of my final examination for Year 2 Semester 2... Haiz... I don't really have a good starting i guess... I didn't feel that i did good enough for this Proteins & Proteomics paper... Can't memorize all the lectures notes especially Dr. Lim's part... LOL... Maybe i didn't pay enough attention to her lecture... Bad me... *Sigh*... Can't let myself grieve over it... I must move on and prepare for my next paper, Immunology... Gosh, it's a killing paper for me... Coz i don't think that i get a single thing from Dr.Soon... This paper is just too much for me... I'm gonna be dead...

So today i get my exam slip from Eric... But then Yin Sian who passes it to me... *Sigh*... Gotta distribute to the rest of them... Some even get it from me in the last minutes where i'm in the exam hall already... Who were they? Xin Yi, Joshua, Esther and some other of them...

My Exam Slip for this Year 2 Semester 2

Todays paper - Proteins & Proteomics

Although today might not be my day (due to that proteins & proteomics paper, i'm kinda did badly i think... Moreover, this morning in the canteen, both Dr.Anthony & Dr.Lim can just wish us "Good Luck!!!"... But then it doesn't help pretty much), however it wasn't so bad after all... i got a belated birthday gift from Tansra & the gang... LOL...

Twister & Jeans from Yin Sian & the gang... In my previous blog, i think i left out Poi Ying... I guess she also in it for my birthday gift...

Tadahh!!! My lovely bag from Tansra & the gang... Well, i kinda love the colour... It's green... LOL... So natural...

So i gotta thank Tansra, Voon Yuke, Jun Hou etc for it again... Previously, i got a twister (games) and a pair of jeans... This time i got a new bag... Although i got a new bag recently (just roughly a month ago), but then it's still cool... I'll have an extra bag to carry around... Don't think that i'll be like a model carry different bags around the campus... I'll just carry different bag occasionally... Don't wanna waste the bag...

Qing Ming + Dinner with Family~

Yesterday, i woke up kinda early in the morning for Qing Ming (Chinese tradition of praying their ancestor)... Roughly around 7am, i drove my mum, my sister & my brother to the memorial site, which my father is located there... It's some where near to the Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka... Well, thinking back about him, it's already 12 years that my dad leave us... Kinda miss him... Some other relatives that passes away also cremated there... As usual, we served some food for prayer...

Then, the last stop, we went to the cemetery that my grandma is located... It's located kinda near to Tien Hao Temple in KL... I don't really know what is that area called... LOL... It's kinda interesting... First time i saw that there is some plant that grow around my grandma graveyard which somehow beautify it... However, for praying purposes, we can't just leave it like that... So we still plucked all these plant away...

This picture shows the plant that grows around the graveyard... Kinda amazing... Maybe my grandma wanna beautify her garden... Just kidding...

There were plenty of food served as well... I think more than what my mum served to my dad... There were fried chicken, roasted pork, some Chinese rice dumpling, 'fatt kou' (Chinese rice cake), & grapes...

This is the photo that i manage to take that time... Lotsa stuff served...

After the prayers, we went home and rest... Later in the evening, my whole family went out to 1 utama for dinner... Well, my mum treated me... It's kinda like celebrate my birthday... We ate at Pasta Zanmai... So, yesterday was kinda nice day... My sister got me chocolate cheesecake from secret recipes for me... Although she wasn't buying the whole cake, but then it is me my favourite cake...

My pasta set... This time, the bowl they served me is different compare to the bowl they used to serve me last time i visit there... Refer to my previous blog - ~Pasta Zanmai + Utar 19th Intervarsity Biochemistry Seminar**

Later in the evening, i went out with Thava and Boon Hein to Sunway Pyramid to catch a movie... I watched "L Change the World"... It's nice but then preferable you have watched Death Note the Last Name (the 2nd film for Death Note) so that you will kinda get the sequence of the story... Well, it's nice to meet them up again...

Overall rating: 7 ; Plot: 7 ; Casting: 8

Advance Surprise!!!

Today i was so sleepy... i didn't turn up for my immunology lecture by Dr.Soon... Well, i know that there are other course mates also didn't turn up as well... Anyway, the lecture wasn't that important coz i wouldn't be tested in my final... so there is no point turning up either... LOL...
But then i did turn up to my university for my molecular biology last lecture... I gotta take my exam slip as well... However, the admin staff got the out course exam slip wrongly... We suppose to be sitting for 5 papers but then in the slip itself only 4 papers are shown... The molecular biology paper was not appeal in that slip... Now, i gotta wait till next monday most probably...

Basically after my molecular biology lecture, i planned to go home already... But then Lit Teng they all asking me to join them for lunch... So i agreed, thinking that it will be the last gathering for this semester... We went to Pizza Hut, somewhere near Carrefour which near to our campus for lunch... Eric, Lit Teng, Wie Kee, Vivian, Yin Sian, Jeff, Jing Yung and me only... after the lench, then only i realize that it is a surprise advance celebration for my birthday... so touching... dunno what to say already...

I didn't manage to take any picture during the lunch coz i was busy eating my lunch... LOL... I should take sometime to take some at 1st... But then i managed to take some of it after that... Wie Kee, Vivian and Jing Yung went to get the cake that they hide... I think they passed to the staff there earlier on... I didn't even notice it... At first, i really thought that they are late only... So now i know that they are actually getting me a cake instead...

So things goes on and i have lotsa fun there... Many thanks to all of them... So once again, Eric, Jeff, Jing Yung, Yin Sian, Wie Kee, Vivian & Lit Teng, thank you for all the things that you all have done... Although it is celebrated 5 days in advance, but then it's really amazing for me...

This photo was taken after finish my lunch...

The cake that they get for me... I know it's kinda kiddy type but then still cute like me... LOL... i think maybe they choose this coz my chinese horoscope is tiger perhaps...
It was me before with my cake before i make my birthday wish...

My 1st birthday present from them, KIDS TWISTER... ^.^''

They forced me to take out the candle with my mouth... The worst part was Wie Kee wanna take a shot of it but then Jeff they all keep on pushing my face into the cake... Kesian me...

My face was covered with the cream from the letters... It's red in colour... When i wipe it out, it looks like as if i'm bleeding all over the tissue... This photo shows the tissue that i use to wipe off the cream... That lame Jeff make fun of me saying that i have my period on my birthday all over the tissue paper... ^.^''

Thanks to Yin Sian, i got the biggest piece of cake... She purposely cuts the cake, giving me the 'head of the tiger' for me...

All the guys... From left to right: Eric, Jeff, Me & Jing Yung...

The gurls, from left to right: Yin Sian, Vivian, Me, Wie Kee & Lit Teng

The whole bunch of us in Pizza Hut... This will be one of my unforgettable birthday for this year...

All this photos was taken by Wie Kee and me... But then those photos that look a bit yellowish and reddish was taken by Wie Kee... Why her camera phone so weird de? LOL... So, thanks a lot to all of you... Thanks for all the presents (Twister & a pair of jeans from Romp) that you guys get for me... That kiddy Twister i might use it later for Eric's birthday celebration... Overall, i have a great time today... Not to forget, thanks to Swat Kim for her comment in friendster coz she is the first 1 who wishes me birthday i guess... Voon Yuke for wishing me happy birthday in advance today... Love u guys...

I think there will be some other celebration as well perhaps... I am not so sure yet... But then i knew that my sister will be going to treat me for my birthday on this coming sunday... We planned to go to Pasta Zanmai... The rest, up to my friends...

April & more bout April...

Recently I browsed thru the net... I found out that April is kinda amazing month... I might be bias in this... Coz if u read my previous blog, i told u all that i was born in the month of April... LOL... This is what i adapted from Wikipedia...

"The derivation of the name (Latin Aprilis) is uncertain. The traditional etymology from the Latin aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open," is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of ἁνοιξις (opening) for spring. Since most of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to Venus, the Festum Veneris et Fortunae Virilis being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month Aphrilis, from her Greek name Aphrodite (Aphros), or from the Etruscan name Apru. Jacob Grimm suggests the name of a hypothetical god or hero, Aper or Aprus."

Well, that is not what i found only... actually there are plenty more interesting things happened in this month... but i don't think that i am going to talk about it here... that is not what i interested most...

Plenty of stuff happened already in this few days of this month... April's fool day (1st of April) as most of you guys enjoying teasing and making fun of each other... Well, i didn't got a chance to make fool of anyone this year... i wasn't been fool around as well except the cool attempt by my neurobiology lecturer, Dr. Anthony Ho... Ching Fui & Sheng Szan's birthday on that day too... 2nd of April, Weng Foong's birthday, Moses on the 7th, and Voon Yuke today... Tomorrow will be Mee Ken's birthday... So this month is full of birthdays... LOL... For your further info, on this month, 22nd is the Earth Day...

But the date that amaze myself of course not to be forget MY BIRTHDAY!!! LOL... What is so amazing on this date, 15th of April? Okay, lets us rewind the world greatest history... hahaha... on this special date, 15th of April:

• 1452 ~ Leonardo da Vinci was born
  
• 1865 ~ Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of USA was assassinated
  
• 1912 ~ Edward Smith, the captain of the great Titanic dead
• 1912 ~ Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic
• 1923 ~ Insulin was first become generally avaible for use by diabetic
• 1986 ~ Terence Takumi come to this world!!! I'm born

So this is the special date ever in my life... Well, I think i should start thinking of what birthday wish I am going to make... hehehe... I can't wait till that day... 5 more days...

~Week 14~

today, i think i can announce it as the starting of week 14 of my semester... well, today i think i'm kinda stress up... at least, i'll be stressing up myself soon... i still havent completed my proteomic assignment & not yet revise all my neurobiology notes... i'll be having the test on tuesday... i'm worrying now...
