Quick update

I'm just studying for the 40% oncogenes CA tomorrow, leaving my poster and thesis aside. I managed to get more data, but need to repeat both experiments. I have so little data it's not funny... 

I also obtained my second shalnark card on hunter x hunter battle collections. In the process of getting a second card to enhance it. The picture on the card changes after enhancement so I'm all asdfgdowdksjsha
Here he is right now!

The state of my thesis


Happened to read what I wrote a few days ago and it felt like a joke. I'm so tired, I want to stop my experiments but I cannot because I had no results until the past week. Running so many experiments, desperately coming up with a poster to present to the lab ppl next week, writing the damned thesis so slowly and studying for a 40% CA next monday. I just want to stop experiments and focus on writing and studying. Or maybe I want to not write the thesis and presentation stuff and just do experiments all day long. I dont know man. The only motivation is that if all goes well, I'll have 2 more sets of data by this saturday. If not well I'll just keep working until time's up.

So tired

Ramblings

Living life to the fullest by going to lab every single day. At least I'm getting a little data to give me motivation for this last stretch. I have none for writing of the thesis though urghhhhhhh hopefully the urge to write will come really really soon :X

I can see the end of university... This is going to be the last few months of my life as a student and I'm feeling bittersweet about it all. I've been surveying if my working friends prefer studying or working......... It's a mixed response.. On one hand you can stop thinking about work after knocking off vs needing to do homework and mug after school, but you can't just take a day off whenever you like while you can skip lectures. 

But ya la.. it's part and parcel of life and there's no use thinking about which is better because there is no way to avoid graduation and working. 

Friends, I may have stopped posting about Hunter X Hunter but I'm still faithfully watching the new episode every week and sobbing and screaming at the development. I'm also following Hozuki no Reitetsu, Space Dandy, Yowamushi no pedal, Nagi no Asakura and Uchuu Kyodai, though there's a little back log because I was really busy last week.

Prop making has stopped and my mum's just screaming at me to clear the bags of the foam sponge thingy on my piano. But mum I can't, because I need those for making the prop and I have no time to finish it right now, so the materials must stay.

Met up with the YYYYs on tuesday and I spent like... all of my money LOLOL I was really down to dollars the next day because tuition stopped for a month and I will only be receiving the pay next week. Still it was a very nice meeting amidst chionging around in lab.
 Love you guys so much :)))

I'll just post some photos of my new favourite game after Kawai Pet Megu closed down-- LinePlay. I adore my character so much, this pretty little thing :))

                    
Isn't she sweet? She is capable of other expressions by the way, I just happened to screenshot her with the default expression. The second picture shows part of my lovely house which I painstakingly decorated. It's so pretty hahaha I'm like praising myself but I'm really proud of my apartment :D It's full of flowers, rainbow, more flowers and soft pastel fluffy things. I'm so girly hahaha it's hard to tell when you see me in real life hor? XD

                  
Oops I caught my cutie bathing hahaha and check out my garden inspired doorway :D

A closer look so you all can appreciate the loveliness ^__^

Updates~

I've fallen ill :( snacked on too many stroopwaffles from Mel and I woke up with a scratchy throat the next day which became sneezing fits... And now I have a leaky nose and a bit of a sore throat :/ 

Had a really busy week and I was out for dinner every single day, by choice of course but it was still so tiring.. Maybe that's why I fell sick :( I've been going to lab every single day including weekends.. Need a lot of preparations each time before I can start on the actual data generating experiments.. So time consuming haish

I watched hunter x hunter: the last mission movie on Wednesday!!! Managed to get the poster after asking the lady nicely if I could have one after the movie. The deal was 2 movie ticket to 1 poster.. Dunno why they were so kiam siap but my group of 5 ppl received 2 posters lol! I had to 'fight it out' among 2 other friends and I couldn't stand doing it the scissors paper stone way so I just went to ask for another XD fortunately the lady gave me a poster so by default that belongs to me ohohoho ^__^
          
I enjoyed the movie tremendously despite the questionable quality at the start and lame defeat of the bosses lolol so much feels whenever the ending song played in the movie ahhhhh.. It kinda reflects the current plot in the anime, with gon being so rash and worrying killua :X

Bought new shoes! 2 pairs for $36 and I love both pairs very much!! 
                          
So so happy~ :))) threw out my old pair wore the black pair today, it hurt my feet but all will be fine with some plasters! 

I also collected my Yang wig today! The previous wig I got was very pretty but too dense for the character and not curly enough. This one is just right, though I would like it to be thicker and less tangled haha oh wells. The ahoge is so cute!!!! Wore it together with the top which I got from auntie yesterday~
                                                
^.^ now I just need to make the skirt and finish up her arm props. And as usual try my best to lose the tan -__-

I've published this entry, reverted it to draft, tried to blog about something lighthearted, and now I'm posting part of the original entry again.

Holes on my arms

Every time I go for a blood test and the blood draw is unsuccessful, I always feel like I've lost a year off my life.. T________T

Doctor managed to find a nice fat vein on my right arm though he commented that it might slide around, making it hard for the syringe to enter. That was exactly what happened omg. I'm not faint when I see blood, though needles started to scare me a little after I pricked myself with one during one of my experiments last year.... I've had a very very bad experience drawing blood a few years ago and since then I've learnt a few more tricks to ensure a higher rate of drawing blood--- drink lots of water before going for it, point your fist down and rapidly clench and unclench the fist to make the veins pop.

Still, I felt my heart sink lower and lower as the doctor poked and poked around under the skin, he did it for a full minute and I was clenching my fist really tightly, and holding my breath as well cos he said to not move LOL. Didn't need to be so tensed, I was just scared I think. My muscles were starting to ache after the prolonged period of fist clenching and even after I got his approval to relax my arm, I could feel my head spinning X_______X I just knew it, that I was going to experience the loss of vision and ringing ears again -cries-

I politely gave indications that he should stop by going 'hmmmm' and 'aiyo..' so he took out the needle and loosened the arm band thingy. Slowly but surely my ears started ringing and vision was hazy. I can't quite remember what exactly happened but I was just sitting there with my head hanging down and trying to shake off the discomfort while he went to fetch another needle. He even patted me on the head LOL!! It didn't strike me as strange then but on hindsight I thought it was a very quirky but affectionate thing to do. Still,  sir I'm 23 years old and graduating in June this year please XD

He knew that I was feeling really bad and kept saying 'sorry, so sorry' as he felt for the vein and inserted the needle. At that point I didn't care anymore OTL I was feeling nauseous and looking for a dustbin in case I couldn't hold back my puke. Fortunately the blood started to flow hahaha I didn't even bother looking and just said 'that's great!' with as much enthusiasm as I could muster but I think it was around the level of a flopping half dead fish.

Again, can't remember what happened but I was really breaking out in cold sweat and so clammy that the plasters refused to stick to my skin. I just took them off but doc gave me a few to keep in my bag. He also asked multiple times if I wanted to lie down.. Tempting but I said no because if I moved from where I was sitting I might vomit lolol I must have sounded really pathetic when I said 'If you don't mind I'll just sit here for a while' at least twice because I was afraid  that I was disturbing him :(

Anyways the nausea passed after a while and I left the clinic and went back to lab.. sigh. Well it was memorable... the doctor patted me on the head :3

Happy Chinese New Year!


        
Me: I'm not sure what to pair my top with
Mum: Where are your short skirts
Me: Uhh I was actually thinking of this knee length skirt -wears it-

Mum: Looks old, what happened to your short black skirt (The one I wore for Felicita)
Mum: You can bring a pair of shorts and change into it afterwards
Me: I'll just wear my black shorts then -_- 

Yea so this year I was really casual with my clothes and didn't even put on contacts. Loaded 3 episodes of Fruits basket at home to watch at my grandparent's house, tried to play my psp games but got too tired and took a long long nap instead hahaha


I said no more cosplay until graduation but 2 groups I'm in are holding photoshoots in February and March................................... Diabolik lovers is fine because I already have the costumes and all but I totally forgot about Yang............ Got really stressed over it yesterday. I'll need to make her hand weapon really soon. And her skirt. Hope the top will fit me well when I get it from auntie
