A HUGE load of my shoulders. My mid-term break has arrived! FINALLY! Though it's a mere 2 wks.. but man i'm thankful for this break.

Mid-exams was on last saturday, honestly i know that i didn't put in all my effort. *sigh* It's just very difficult to study as all the lectures are SO DIVERSED. ONE moment it's about amino acid structure, the next is about crystallography method, den it's about some specific protein, P450 cytochrome, DEN it's about the modifications made on many different proteins. I sort of picked my way through the notes. Focusing on some, glancing over most, 100% sure on NONE. It's just tough to study this way, where there's no main focus. *bleah*

Been horrible sick for 2 wks.. Very Major Sick = poor immunity = outbreak of my skin. *sigh* Feels like i'm back to stage one all over again. *teary-eyes... double sigh*

At least i had fun the past 2 days,

Meshelle's Bday...


Only nice image i have of me. hee.. credits to Jer's facebook. :P
Here with beanie.. Dom and wifey calefare behind.. why i have bunny ears....

My hair is actually long enuff to french-braid it! ha~ Lotsa fun and laughter.. And received the wedding invites from Rick and Angelyn. Yipee~ Another friend getting married. Congrats Ah-Huat! hee~ Weddings are such Happy Occasions!!

Sunday was reserved for my date with God in the morning and Twinkle in the afternoon. :)
Brought my little one to the SKC Dog Show at Expo again! I felt really bad of neglecting my girl for the past month. Bad mommy. Been so caught up with school every night that i couldnt play much with her. So this is the special treat for her. Our second time to the SKC dog show.

This time i bought her some more dehydrated treats. Fish-skin for omega-3; fish fillet; and chicken feet! eeks! It's said to be good for them to chew and remove tar from their teeth. No harm trying. haha..

And also got for her a super-comfy-velour-red harness. She looks CUTE in the harness. Red and white = perfect match. We hung around watching obedience challenges. *The doggies are AMAZING! When will my dearie be as guai~* The beautiful showdogs. Had a ton of fun just dog-watching. Saw so many breeds.. from the tiniest chihuahua (even smaller than princess!), dalmations, rotties, huskies, basset hound, daushund, corgis, MS, shih-tzu, maltese all wrapped up, yorkies, saluki, whippet.. so many to bio~ :D

My lovely got unanimous compliments..
It's always "She's so affectionate" Twinkle can be crowed Miss Manja Queen.

Didn't bring my cam.. So no pictures of the dogshow. *bleah*

I'm gonna treasure my 2 wk of holidays.
More regular sleeping time,
more kopi/prata sessions!!,
more time with Twinkle,
more time to be a couch-potato,
more time for my PSP!

Essentially, more time for myself. :)

I think i'll go into hibernation mode. Hee.

Been sick the entire of last wk.. and still sick this week. Every single illness i could think of, just hit me this time round. Sore throat, fever, flu, blocked nose, cough, headache. You name it, i had it. Still on the path of recovery, my flu seems to have cleared up, so I'm just left with my cough. But it's enuff to leave me breathless very quickly.

I hate the muffled hearing,
i hate the lethargy feeling ,
i hate the tightness in my chest,
i hate being sick. :(

*Pray that myself and everyone who's sick, Be Healed in Jesus' Name. Amen!*
:)

Anyhow, i survived the week (pon-tanging school.. =p) and had a very fun weekend!

Wonderful school started my Saturday morning. *bleah*
Journal Club presentation. Not me presenting (yet). Just some of my other classmates, and we being "good" audiences, we posted NO questions to the speakers. *pa-kart* a bit lah, if not they will shoot questions during my presentation as well. teehee.. Anyhow, my own presentation is on the 19th Nov. I'm doing the introduction part, shld be ok for me. Just hope i dun try to be a smart-aleck and try to be funny (like i always am) during presentation. It's on a science journal titled; Oxidative stress inhibits MEKK1 by site specific glutathionylation in the ATP-binding domain. Woot~ I've no idea what this means.. haa.. time for a little reading up. =p Had a little discussion with my lecturer and we were done for the day!~

Sab invited us for a Hari Raya Meal. Nothing she cooked or baked. *chey lah!* But still, nice food :) Sumi borrowed a movie over to watch. THE ORPHANAGE. yes, a horror show, though i don't watch horror -___-||| It was alright though, cos it's day-time. hee~ It's a really GOOD movie! I totally liked the entire twist to it. How sad it is that the mother is the one who killed her child. The child who she was desperating looking for, the child who she thought went missing for 6 mths. When he's really trapped in the basement, accidentally locked in.

Go catch it if you havent already watched it, NO apologies for the spoilers though. *muahahaha~* It's an old show. =p

5 stars for this show!

Sunday... Day to bring Twinkle out.
Intended to bring her to the Dog Run for a little exercise. BUT it began to rain as we made our way there. :( So we made a turn to the Dog Cafe instead! *Lucky Twinkle*

We popped by K9 campus, located at turf city. and i like this place! It's a little air-conditioned hut with nice comfy seats. Some outdoor seatings as well. They only sell human food. Food seems quite nice, at least my friend's order of some burger stuff looks decent enough. and i LOVE their service crew. A bright smile on all their faces. Very friendly ppl, makes the place so much cozier.

Just opp the cafe is the US pet bakery, they sells yummy dog food. They had a power shut-down when we dropped by the area. Thus, no freshly baked stuff from them. I didn't get any stuff for Twinkle as well. But she managed to steal a bite or two of the meatloaf from Princess. ha~ That pig. It soon began pouring cats and dogs, but we hid inside the cafe. Nice place to just chill with ur poochies running around freely. The tables were rather low and i couldnt let my PIG run freely as she would tip-toe just to get a whiff at the scent of FOOD. -.- Had a good luff over the super belated gift i gotten for Princess. hee.. Tat super-random-slightly-deaf cutie..

It was pouring even as we were leaving, the NICE service crew loaned us umbrellas and even followed us back to the car to collect the brollies fr us. Great service, i tell ya!

I wanna go back again! hee~

:) I love simple days as such... :)

No photos for both days.. Too nua and tired to tk any pics... =p

Why don't we have half-days on Friday? Just in celebration of the "National's Birthday"? :( NIE just ain't that kind to us employees huh? Was rather surprised to see a SEA OF RED AND WHITE in the canteen! Nowadays still so on with colour-combi one meh? ha~ So many folks in red and white! I guess cause they are teachers-to-be; might as well get in the mood just like in teaching days.

Quite sad for me to end my day with school AGAIN. Man.. i som-pa this is the WORST subject i've studied till date. Guess this time i really have to put in effort to do scrape through this module.. Gibbs free energy law.. TEN THOUSAND other laws.. All sort of subscript; Q=heat, W=work, H= dunno-simi law.. like WHO CARES about thermo-dynamics? i don't.. and i can't believe that i have to learn my mathematics AGAIN!! Ln, Differentiation, Integration.. the last time i did all these was like a freaking 8 years ago??? *yes tat's how OLD i am. ha!* Any physics and chem students? or teachers? i could really use some help..

NIE library.. here i come..
Atkin's book of physical chemistry.. here i come..
*Please don't let someone else borrow that book before me!*

National day = public holiday = i can drive my car out in the morning!
Figured to jio a dog run outing on a saturday morn; but all don't give face except one. PUI~ wadever. Headed down still with Princess. Ta-bao Mac for breakfast into the West Coast Dog Run. Just love the environment of the WCDR since i went there during the NDW last week. Unleashed Twinkle when we settled at the bench in the dog-run. She sticks rather close to me though i wanted her to go play with her new friends more. *just realised it might be because i have already trained her to lie down quietly at my feet when i'm sitted at home* ha! Clever Twinkle.

Made couple of friends there. Found Princess' Dad! haa.. It's a silky with the EXACT same colour combi fur coat! A little bully JRT pup.. couple more.. I even finished up a roll of film (anyhow snap) with my vivi; will post the pictures once i find time to get it developed. Had a nice and fun morning there. :D

Still going for another picnic with my friends and Twinkle tmr! cause it's HOLIDAYS! woot~ *happy* But i still have school tmr night. How sad... Sometimes i just wish that holidays never ends. Why can't it.....

I brought Twinkle to her first NDW; National Dog Walk 2008 (3rd Aug)

Went with Andrew and Princess! It was a nice and sunny afternoon! Didn't managed to find any parking lots, cause we went rather late. Walked quite a distance to the next nearest carpark. Luckily Twinkle didn't protest much and walked through-out the entire afternoon with us! She rather heavy.. you know? LOL.

Super warm afternoon with STRONG sunlight; perfect sunny day for a dog walk. :D






Many Many More pictures in twinkle's blog!!

Brought Twinkle to Pasir Ris Park for a little walk.

First time she sit in her carrier,
First time she saw so many people,
First time she saw sand and the sea,
First time she saw AND ride on a bicycle,
First time she felt the sea breeze...


More pictures in her own blog...
