*yawn* just got back, but it's a pleasant tiredness for once. =) went down for the mtv roadshow, watched people make complete idiots of themselves in order to get the tickets, and was just silently relieved i was spared that. *laugh* i think given a choice i'd rather not get the tickets than go to all that trouble. anyhow, then met amy at city hall and shopped citilink and suntec city. *grin* and only spent $10! amazing, if i do say so myself.

we ended up sitting around chatting abt the good ol' days when we were chasing a1.. talking about all the best bits, the trip to malaysia, how much better/friendlier/more talented they are than blimmin' westlife, *cough* and things like that. *sigh* i miss them, so very very much. especially mark and ben. for one thing, i'd like to test if mark still remembers my name, *grin*, and follow them round sim lim square one more time, or give them critiques on the clothes they were trying on at heeren, or tease and get teased by mark. *sigh* i miss them.

then met up with damon at abt 9.30 to have dinner, after he got off work.. chatted for a while, and left abt 11.30 or so. *yaaaaaaaawn* good day though. =) except for an unfortunate revelation this morning, that, with hindsight i should have expected. *sigh* i'm still pissed off though. *growl* i don't like being played for a fool. then again, lol, who does? didn't affect me as much as it could have either, so! s'all good. =)

and it's finally the weekend, yay! *grin* where the most weighty decision i have is whether or not to attend the mtv roadshow later. quite a few of my friends are going, but i feel sooooo lazy. and i guess i should actually be doing some work.. like updating my lab logbook, which is still languishing at the 23rd of december. oops. :p but aaaarrrrggghh, i don't want to do anything! *sniffle*

downloaded a load of songs from les miserables, chess and the phantom of the opera, and am having loads of fun singing along to them. *beam* so if you live around me, i'm sorry, but you're just going to have to endure! *grin*

this week should be exciting. first up, on wednesday i'm going to queue for the p10 giveaway of tix to the blue/atomic kitten/b.a.d party at zouk, which is on thurs or something, and of course, the MAAs on friday night! and anggun is coming!!! aaaaahhh! can't wait to see her! *beam* and sarah and i have somehow managed to arrange our timetable such that fridays are free, by well, changing to another class for a practical. it overlaps with another of our classes by like, an hour, but *cough* i'm sure we can manage. right sarah? i mean, it's only going to involve being in two places at the same time. :p

photos to come later if i'm not too lazy to scan them. =)

look at the new thingy in my sidebar. i've only 311 days more in which i can legitimately act as a stroppy teenager. *sniff* i feel old. *sigh* and tired. again. survived today on the back of 2 or 3 cups of coffee, think i should've had more, cos sarah and i still fell asleep, or almost, during some of the talks. they had very good food though. hahaha. which was good, since we didn't have time to eat either breakfast or lunch because we had classes from 9-2 without any breaks, and with frequent runs back to the lab to check on our gel, which we started running at 8am. *bleah* but, ooh, the ice cream filled chocolate eclairs! *drool*

oh, and we saw this cute guy that sarah noticed yesterday at NUS? and he recognised me. hahaha. we were bored, what can i say? :p and he wasn't that cute. just sort of above the usual singapore average. *smirk*

reaching NUS at 9 tomorrow, for another round of talks, this time on drug discovery, which sarah is interested in. then am heading back to school to study with peiyi in the library. that's the plan anyway. ha. *grin* but seriously, i need to buck up, am getting so very lost in my proteomics and hybridoma classes. yargh. so blur! not to mention our project update thing is due tomorrow. and if it's late, 10 marks are deducted! oops. :p so am waiting for sarah to get home and online to pass me the cag, vac and ice info so's i can do our table, then i'm going to SLEEP! *yaaaaaaawn*

ya know? i should talk abt something else, since i doubt anyone's really interested in a rundown of my everyday life. *sparkle* but i'm too braindead. sorry! *halo*

urgh. tired. tired. tired. woke up at 5.30am, blearily made my way to NUS, got lost on the way, needless to say, then helped out at the registration counter for the *deep breath* "Life Sciences in Singapore: Integrating Multidimensional Perspectives", the Fourth Combined Scientific Meeting Incorporating the Second Singapore Microarray Meeting. *phew* then missed half of the keynote speech *sniff*, but the half that we did manage to listen to, about "Genetics and Everyday Life" was very good. Perhaps I should reconsider my decision not to go into molecular biology. Anyhow, it was agreed that we would help out in the registration then we'd get free admission to the 3 day seminar. Seems fair enough to me. Especially since our main reason for attending is tomorrow afternoon, the talk on "Helicobacter pylori, a gastric pathogen in disguise: past, present and future." Whee.

then to school, and we had to do the bleeding of the mouse tail, as well as immunising it. and i use the term 'we' loosely. i'm afraid i skived off for most of the practical, i couldn't stand it any more this time than i could in immunology, though at least we weren't killing them today. feel quite guilty actually. *blush* but! it was awful. *shudder* and i had a headache from inhaling too much of the ether that they were using to anaesthetise it. however, while i was skiving off, wandered over to the microbio lab to do some PCR for our project, and bugged eugene for a while, which was fun. haha. haven't done that in too long. *grin*

then, right when i was looking, and feeling, my absolute worst, i almost bump into someone i never want to see me at less than my best. almost, because i just kept walking, and i don't think he saw me. *phew* either that or he did and he's ignoring me. hrm. either way, bah.

and i have to get started on our project report that's due friday. and have to get to school at 8am tomorrow, and finish at 5.30 again! yargh. miserable life. *grumble*

"Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now.."
