hoho! i'm currently slacking in the comp lab art school, using the b-e-a-u-tiful iMacs while the other half of the class is being put to sleep under the hypnotic spell of the pilo tchr's voice. yay! *evil grin. but this can only last till after june. how sad, too bad!
anyways. the main purpose of my signing into blogger today is (sh*t, i'm still under the research studies spell, that's why i sound so formal) to blog about IMCB! woots. for future reference, it means: Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology. so yup. i shall be systematic and go thru it day by day.
day 1_ stepped into the proteos complex in biopolis for the first time. was impressed by how the place s practically like a village on its own. also impressed by the fact that the people swarming around are real life scientists! whew. felt very small and insignificant. haha. like a mealworm in the mall. oops. excuse my alien. anyways, after we were registered and received our security cards, or wtv u call that thing that hangs on a lanyard, we were brought to some mini theatre for briefing. but there was no electricity so we were herded to some very important room, think it's called the board room? our facilitator told us that the chairs cost 2k each, and some glass panels on the conference table cost 4k. gee. no wonder there's so much security, they have to make sure people like us dun wheel ourselves out from the building in these 2k-chairs or sth. (and sacarsm plops on the floor). anyhoo. the whole morn was a crap load of briefing on security and lab safety, on the not-so-long history of the IMCB and a 'lecture' on zebrafish structure by dr. s*****o r*y. have to use *s cause i dun wanna be sued for defamation. which is what i want to do now. he's such an ass. pardon my alien but it's true. he thot we were idiots and that we dont understand all the cheem stuff that he was covering. and he outrightly embarrased one dhs girl for not paying attention to him. fair enough that it's so not polite to sleep when some bigshot scientist come to give u a talk but he didnt have to humiliate her like that ya? :/ so wtv, then we went this guy named a name that rhymes with 'genie' brought us to the lab and...
(to be continued. bell just friggin rang)
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats,
she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
looked at my insides clicking
her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody
buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Could you leave me with a scar?
had cartooning workshop this morning. damn but it was good! :) had this guy who was creative director for walt disney's asean sector for 3 yrs come over to teach. and he makes drawing so easy! sheesh. like he takes 3 seconds to draw that guy from one piece, the one with the straw hat and all. >.< but when i did a spiderman sketch and he saw it, he actually said that i draw "very well!!"" mann. wish i could bottle that moment up and like keep it with me always. for when i feel like all dejected and stuff about art. *beams*
just watched jet's "look what you've done" video. soo morbid! it started out all cutesy and disney-woodish. then half way thru all the animals started harming each other. eeksjeepscreeps.
oh yah. and when we went to long john's just now, bf spilled her food. like all the drinks and fries and everything just flung themselves out of their packets and onto the chair and floor. then this staff came over and helped us clear up and even offered her free food! :) so nice. not like the bunch of morons sitting in the corner who just giggled at us. suckers.
after lunch was walking all around far east trying to find another hairband, cause according to sruthi mine is not strictly black anymore. it's too rusty. hmm. :/
terese says she noticed i hardly blog. haha! doesnt take anyone long to realise that eh? :) sorry lah. sometimes i'm just too lazy and other times i'm too busy. and when i actually sit down to start blogging about really interesting things, i always get distracted somehow. that's why i'm always like kudos to anyone who blogs about every single detail of their life cause i havent got ur patience. i mean i'm the type who chews candy instead of sucking it, ja? :)
anyways, yah. am still in sch at this unearthly hour cause i was dl-ing some stuff. will go soon cause i hear the janitor's (or green man) keys. they are gonna lock me up or sth. :/
the classroom is so peaceful.
we'll miss ms han lots and lots.
that's so random. but yah..
yesterday i went for special o's badminton. it's at ite bishan and it was real fun! haha. but i'm aching all over now. cant imagine what would happen when i have to go for tennis before i go for badminton. :/ will not be able to write anything afterwards, and my right arm muscle will be twice its current size at the end of the year. it is already one-and-a-half times the size of my left arm! haha. >.<
just had english essay test. think i screwed it up. i was SO SLEEPY! argh. i think i was like so repetitive that ms leow would just put a big red X over everything and then it would be the end of my life. i so want to pull up my gpa can? but the frustrating thing is that all the things i do well in are the formative ones. yaiks. like the commonwealth essay and the diagnostic test. hurumph.
i cant wait for march hols. (and i say that every chance have). need to recharge, reorganise and resort my life and my homework file.
yep.
i want an iMac!! :)
