This is something I wrote last night, in bed, just before drafting off. ******************** ** It's late and my eyes are tired but I feel the need to write. It's been a long while since I've felt this way and I think the Arts Bloggers meet up today had something to do with it. It's been a long while since I've met up with new people and talked about writing, explained what …
I'm still into my first job and I just signed another three-year contract with the company. I think that for most people, they would have had at least two different jobs in those ten years. I'm still here. One of the main reasons I've not left is mainly due to not wanting to get out of my comfort zone. I've been sitting at this exact desk, working at the exact same lab bench …
Last night, I went for my first class of the semester. I had to choose between Seminars in Zoology or Advanced Plant Physiology as an elective. I decided to go with the plants module since the other was very heavy for an elective and even my supervisor had advised against it. Plants have never been something that I enjoyed learning, personally, because the cross section of a …
I need to remember that I was the one who wanted to enrol for grad school. No one forced me, so I shouldn't be complaining so much about it. I need to remember that as much as my sisters annoy me sometimes, they're still family and that despite everything, I actually love those two annoying brats. I need to remember that I'm already bordering on being severely underweight …
On more than one occasion, when someone hands me my bag, they'd comment on how heavy it is. It's not that I don't want to travel light, it's just that I don't know what to cut out from what's in my bag. Here's what I would usually have in my bag, on a normal day: 1. A wallet, bulging with receipts and various crap. 2. My phone 3. A wallet sized bag that holds at least 3 … 
I don't shop a lot, unlike some of my peers. I usually only go out to get stuff when I needed them or when there's a sale that I just can't say no to. So when I saw the promo below, I can't resist. Since my friends were going to be in town anyway, might as well get my little shopping trip done and meet them for dinner. So we spent some time at the lingerie shop and I had … 
Do you just sit there, staring at the blank page or screen, willing the words to flow? Do you just let your stream of conciousness fill the page with inane thoughts and babbling? Do you drink copious amounts of coffee, hoping the caffeine will jar something lose? Or that the frequent trips to the porcelain bowl will help you think? Do you sit in the sun, letting the heat … 
(via) Everyone loves Fridays. It's the last day of the work week for most people and best of all, it means the weekend is here! Friday means that I can stay up late as I won't be working the next day, so I can sleep in. Friday means that I can drink copious amounts of coffee since I can sleep in. Friday means that I can finally rest after the whole week of work …
That you're sitting in one of the best concert halls in the world, listening to the best orchestra in the world playing music from your favourite classical composers and even some pieces from your favourite soundtracks. Lean back and let yourself feel the music. Let yourself go. Let the music play with your emotion. Let yourself smile or cry if the music moves you. Relax. …
It's been so long since I've had one. I think about it constantly; how wonderful it's going to taste, how good it will feel in my hands. I'm craving for it. I want it. I need it. Too bad they don't have an outlet near my house.
If you woke up one morning and found a blue police box at your front door and man in a tweed jacket, a bow tie and the most wonderful hair that all you want to do is to run your fingers through it, was waiting for you and asks if you'd like to come with him. He opens the door to the police box with a snap of his fingers and you saw that it was bigger, a lot bigger on the …

Being sick during the holidays is never fun. I came down with a cold that developed into a cough that I had trouble trying to shake. I've always had a hard time recovering from a cough and this time it was a lot worse than before since I had coughed badly enough in my sleep that I sprained a shoulder and pulled a core muscle. That made it really hard to move around and sleep …
I hope that this coming year will be better all around; filled with happiness, love, peace and riches. I hope for no more family drama of whatever sort. I hope that the classes at school won't be too hectic and difficult. I hope that the rest of my project will go smoothly so that I can finally graduate this year. I hope to still have a job when I come back from my …
2011 was a year of change and procrastination. Change is the only constant, isn't it? Big changes happened at work that left everyone reeling from shock and surprise but in the end, we sucked it up and dealt with the new situation and tried to make the best of it. one by one, the friends I made at work left for better pastures, leaving me alone, in an office full of people I …
Watching kids play Dance Central. I don't want to stare but I can't help it. It's like watching a wreck waiting to happen. Morbid curiosity, ya know? I know I'm definitely not the best dancer in the world but when you're watching from the sofa, it's makes you go "OMG, ARE THEY REALLY DANING LIKE THAT?!" Of course that means that we dance that way too. I'm trying not to …
It's the last Friday of the year and I'm at home watching Harry Potter. It's the eve of the new year tomorrow and I doubt I'll be doing any partying since I'm not the partying sort. Dude is still out of the country so I'm just a tiny bit bored and there's only so much tv watching and random internet surfing that one can do. So what are your plans for this long weekend? Out …
In the past month, I've been compiling a list of things that I'd like to read and re-read in 2012. I'm not sure what I my schedule is going to be like but I'm going to try and complete as much of the list as possible. So in random order, here's my list: 1. Waking the Witch, Kelley Armstrong. 2. Spellbound, Kelley Armstrong 3. The Lost Heroes, Rick Riordan 4. The Son of …
It's been more than a decade since I actually sewed anything. The last time was for a school project and even then, I was strictly supervised by my grandma and my mother. When a friend of mine showed me a site for cute cloth postcards from Taiwan, I couldn't resist and got myself a few. They're so cute! I'd initially wanted to start with the cow but my mom, having totally … 
The lovely people at HBO Asia sent a little gift pack today, containing a bottle of True Blood, a 2012 desk calendar and a True Blood poster that's exactly like in the picture shown. Many thanks to Atiqah and HBO Asia. Now I have 3 seasons of True Blood to catch up on, since I only finished watching the first one and maybe half of the second season.
