Fastforward...Its a new year.

So yeah, my last friggin' post was in 2010! It's 2012! So, a lot had happened. Graduation (finally!), went for Work and Travel USA, came back with awesome memories, went to China, came back with not so awesome memories and finally, rotting at home, contributing to the percentage of unemployment. I totally spaced about my blogs for awhile (pretty obvious). Had inspirations a few times, mostly when I was about to sleep, so it came and went without me doing anything about it. Inspiration came earlier today but I feel the urge to watch Happy Endings. So I guess this shall be my shortest post ever! Perfect come back!

It was March then, it is August now.

It's the longest break yet! 5 months! Well, I was really busy with my Final Year Project, and all. But I shall recap the whole 5 months (short version of course).

So, I stopped when I said I had another assignment to do for my C&C. I nailed it and my lecturer was flabbergasted. He didn't even know about some of the examples I quoted. I was so proud of myself. Like finally, a subject that I'm good at. And I don't even need to refer to any books. I am awesome. Hence, I aced the subject. I am double awesome. They should give me more subject like C&C.

Then towards the end of the semester, I had to pick a title for my FYP. I was interested in a few titles. But we had to fight for it. Thank god I got what I wanted. I got a project that could do me some good if I was hired by Flavours *hint*. Chemical composition of Peanuts. Sounds interesting right? Well, I've started the project, which is basically why I was busy. I hope I get the results I hoped for.

Fastforward and its a new semester. Everything is hectic again and this semester's subjects are hard! I tried to love them but it's nearly impossible. Especially Immunology. I did not think, for once, that there would be a subject I'm more afraid of than Chemistry. No matter. I shall try my hardest.

The semester isn't over yet. Lots of tests to study for. FYP to focus on. Finals coming up soon. I really don't have the time. But I just felt like ranting out abit. That is when I realized, when I reread my last post, it was March then, it is August now.

Wish me luck!

No Improvements, Everything is a Bitch...But I Changed My Mind (Part 1).

It has been a a little over a month since my last post. Apparently my intentions of not not writing for a long time seems to have failed. Oh well, I will try harder next time.

That being said, I was busy. Schedule's a bitch, internet's a bitch, heck, even the weather's a bitch! I'm surprised I can even survive. I learnt in my Genetics class that our genes may be mutated according to the environment. Well, that answers alot! LIke how I'm always suffering during hot spells and how the air-con is my natural alarm clock, or how I'm more active when the temperature is low. My gene has been mutated! I'm so cut out for cold environments!

On another note, I've totally changed my mind. I was complaining about how I did not get a good assignment question but once I hit the spot, boy was it AWESOME! I've totally changed my views on my question. For one, the other questions were rather constricted while mine is really general. Thanks to that fact, and also to Lady Gaga, who was our inspriration, the most disappointing assignment question became the most FANTASTICAL question! Long story short, Lady Gaga hit us with her fashion and fashion is part of pop culture, so what else is? Music of course! And what does music have? Lyrics of course! And what is lyrics? Expression of words of course! And finally how do words exist? Language of course! And boom boom pow! We have our assignment. It was so elaborated that I had to squeeze everything into the 15-page limit. Our presentation was more than 45 minutes long and the lecturer was impressed with how detailed it was, saying it could have been 3 assignments! I was so proud of myself then. Of course I did 90% of the work and all the examples came from me. How can I not be proud? Such an accomplishment! Now I really hope the lecturer will understand with my written work though. I wasn't really impressed with it myself. It lacked professionalism I though. Nevertheless, I'm praying for the best. Next stop, US Media stereotypes on Eastern Culture. If anyone happen to have any ideas, do contribute please (that is if anyone's reading).

Well, time is ticking away and I had lots of other things to do. So I shall continue next time. If there are anyone reading, I am interested in writing. Look out for me if there's an internship! (Oh gee, this post isn't that long. There are improvements afterall!)

My posts are long and I am fickle.

My posts are long. Both time wise and length wise. I should do something about it.

So a new semester has begun. The timetable looks kind of loose. I really do hope it won't exhaust me like other previous semesters did. Nevertheless, assignments are abundant! I really should start on it but I'm really not in the mood. And lab reports are seriously a drag.

I have my last non-science elective this semester (I'm going to miss these subjects). They are the only ones that could pull up my CGPA. Culture and Communications. This could really be my second favourite non-science based subject throughout my degree! First being Public Relations I really did wanted to venture into this field when I was 16. But my scarce social skills won't get me far and I know it. Plus I had a great lecturer, Ms.Catherine (I could still remember we talked about Hong Kong dramas.LOL). As for Culture and Communications, I find it intriguing so far. I wanted to be an anthropologist once as well. So go figure. Most of my coursemates are complaining about this subject but I like it! Hence, another proof I'm in the wrong course. Like we didn't already know that right?

Having said that, two freaking assignments were given for this subject itself! I mean I could handle it but there goes my hopes of not being exhausted. Questions for the assignments were not all as interesting as I hoped for it to be. Especially the ones I got. Call it coincident but there actually was a question touching on gender inequality. A topic I really like to discuss. Sadly I did not get that question and they woouldn't change with me. Apart from that, there were also other question I'd like to discuss like language, pop culture and such. Why did I not get these? Regardless, after sulking for a few days, I've decided to take it as a challenge. If I'm ever going to write, I may not always get the topics I like right? I shall make it work!

So you may have noticed, I mentioned two ambitions in one post. To be honest, my ambitions change all the time. I have only realised that when my Molecular Biology lecturer asked us to give him our biodata (I know! What for??). In the biodata, I will have to fill in my ambitions. The first thing that popped up was journalist (and that's what I wrote). But I was thinking, my ambitions changed more frequent than it's supposed to.

When I was 7, I had ambitions like many other 7-year-olds do. I wanted to become a doctor. Lack of knowledge perhaps. I had dreams of going to Harvard and graduating to be a super rich doctor. After awhile of course I didn't want to be a doctor anymore. I was 13 then. After that, I wanted to be an architect or an interior designer. Inspiration courtesy of The Sims. I still do but not so much. Then I was 16 and I wanted to be in Public Relations. I like planning events and making them work. My friend and I planned a birthday party for my other friend in school and boy, was it awesome! The event I did for my PR subject in the university was awesome as well! I'm destined to be in PR. Then I wanted to be a Personal Assistant to a celeb. I figured, I'm ok at organizing things, so I should be a great PA right? Plus, think of all the benefits! Drool. Then I wanted to be a hotelier. I've always liked the hotel field. The smell of a hotel is just so orgasmic! I nearly got into it until my mom stopped me. Sad. Also, as I mentioned, I wanted to be an anthropologist briefly. I find the evolution of the human race, language and culture really fascinating. But with little monetary rewards, I decided to scratch this ambition. So I moved on to wanting to be a psychologist. Understanding the human behaviour can also be really interesting no? And now I want to be a writer. And so I am writing.

But if you noticed, apart from being a doctor (which was a decision made when I was 7, young and stupid, I have to stress that!) none of my other ambitions have anything to do with science. Perhaps psychology has a little. But here I am now, pursuing a degree in Biochemistry. I really hope this is a blessing in disguise whatever miracles that may happen, it will come in handy and useful. And by that I meant that it will earn me a huge large sum of dough (apart form being in the education field, science really can't earn you a dime unless you're beyond excellent).

But boy, am I fickle minded or what? Perhaps a novel should be written about it one day.

Oops! 3 months is over.

If you've read the previous post, you might be expecting my further elaboration on the ad that I saw which inspired me once again. Well pardon me. I was busy.

Three months may sound like a really long period of time for a semester break. Especially for a lazy being like I am. But isn't it surprising that it is now my final week of hibernation. Like, where did my three months of holidays go? What have I done?

Well I did nothing of course. But my theory is that, doing nothing is actually doing something. Nothing is something itself and hence, doing nothing is doing something. Regardless, nothing in this context, really does not mean nothing. I watched a whole lot of TV series (Glee being the best), listened to a whole lot of music, watched a whole lot of movies and went to the cinema more frequent that ever. I did not, however, make as many weight-gaining desserts like I planned to. With the addition of my little long-time awaited vacay to Dubai, my three months went away. Just like that.

I was chatting with my friend the other day and we were conconcting this weird story about how a feminist decides to fight for equal rights for men. It is a hilarious mockery about feminists (I shall write about it in another post). Who knew we could be so imaginative.
Suddenly, I heard a cry from my blog. I had abandoned it for yet another three months! Bad me. But I was busy.

So I reread my last post and apparently I was suppose to write about the ad that inspired me. Well...wait for it...wait for it.

Okay. It was a recruitment ad from Galaxie (one of the hottest English entertainment magazine in Malaysia). I am a loyal Galaxie reader. I am truly a sucker for all things entertainment. From celeb gossips to latest releases. I am one of those people that needs to be fed with entertainment news everyday. One day without my entertainment news fix and I might as well be living in a cave or outer space. Which is why I was so excited over this ad. (Just read what I have been doing for the past three months. Duh.) Why shouldn't I be? I fit all their criteria. They should totally hire me. (Not that I am gloating but some news in the latest issue is even old news to me.)
So now my focus is to try and apply for a job in Galaxie when I graduate. (Although I see no connection with my degree).

The next day, I saw another ad. This time it was a recruitment drive from Flavours. (A food magazine from The Star). I was excited about this ad as well! I love food, you love food, we all love food. But I love to cook! (I prefer to bake actually.) Booyah!! So why shouldn't I apply for this job as well. (Hello, I said made desserts didn't I?) They should totally hire me.

So my second option is to try and apply for a job in Flavours when I graduate. (This may have more connections to my degree than Galaxie but Galaxie, if you are reading this, you're my first choice!)

But regardless of how they should totally hire me, the real question is will they? I will not know. But I will be graduating in about 1 and a half year. I hope I will hear from them.

By the way, Dubai was a fantastic trip and my friend told me today that pop tarts are sweet.

Delayed Inspiration

So it has been more than a year. How time flies.
I was going to post something in June. I got inspired. But schedule was a bitch and somehow procrastination led to temporary memory loss. Well okay, I forgot.

I was inspired though because as I mentioned before, I like writing. I used to think of a blog as a silly momentary craze that people obsess about for a certain period of time. But now that I've thought further, a blog can actually be a like a virtual writing pad. I can practise and sharpen my writing skills via a blog can't I?

So I was inspired. I was told that I will be having my industrial training this year. Industrial training. I didn't know how to handle it. My interest in the degree course I'm taking is decreasing exponentially with time and I am finding whatever I'm learning now to be a total waste of memory space in my brains. Yes, knowledge is gold. Hopefully. I'm sure one day I will find what I learnt to be useful in some ways. I'm sure I will. Or atleast I hope I will.

Industrial training. I'm not sure if it will happen but I am hoping to take the road NEVER taken by any Biochemistry student in my university before ( I think never atleast). So I was planning to get an internship with a magazine. Science-related of course, considering the course I'm currently pursuing. Could it happen? I don't think it will. But I can wish. And wish. And the wish was postponed as the university postponed our industrial training dates. Hence, the reason I forgot to publish something in June.

So another semester has gone. Obviously, I did not remember about posting still. Everyone knows my unpaid full-time job during the holidays is to watch movies and TV shows, listening to freshly leaked music, reading my unread books and whipping up some weight-gaining desserts. That's a mouthful and it definitely will keep me fully, if not extremely occupied for 3 months of holidays.

But I saw an ad in the newspaper today. It caught my attention even quicker than a nanosecond. A new post shall be done solely for the full elaboration on this epiphany. Anyhow, this ad triggered a certain lost memory in my brain. I wanted to be a writer. And to start it off, I was going to post something in my blog. A few months ago.

Operation Deletion.

Yes. Anyone notice the weather today?

Well, after reading back all the previous posts, I felt that this blog definitely needs a makeover. Those posts were so crappy! Like if you have nothing to write don't.

I always liked writing. Words can be expressed in so many ways that sometimes it get ridiculously confusing. But that's the beauty of writing. Writing gives you the freedom to express yourself in any way you want and to just let everything out creatively and as simple or as complicated as you wish. Writing is a very useful skill that no one can ever be a guru at. A skill that can be improved no matter how brilliant you are at it. The power of writing? It can give someone a happy feeling, a sad feeling, and even no feeling at all. It can cut someone, salt their wounds and yet appear to be pretty and harmless. So how can someone not like to write?

OK. Not the point. So, I've decided to erase every silly post in here.. However I left the history there. (I can't get myself to delete our Noise.FM lyrics. It's too precious.)

We'll see where this go then.
