fifth week coming.. in two weeks time we'll have a test for biochemistry..
we only have 3 courses this sem..i mean me.. but i know i can't relax.. none of it is easy.. but i'm having a nice time studying.. i only have this sem left..

i've joined the yoga club.. and i really look forward to the class every week.. i think i'll continue to learn yoga even after ubd.. these days i'm also interested to learn bellydance.. but.. yoga first lah.. i still haven't got my allowance.. so every week i'm depending on my pocket money from my mom.. surviving but.. i have a long list of to-buy.. and except for my weekly pocket money.. i'm too proud to ask for more from my mom.. i feel kinda bad enough that i still get pocket money from her.. at my age.. i should be financially independent.. and i really mind about this.. i wish i can take care of my mom as soon as possible..

the new hua ho in tutong has opened about a month ago... for the first two weeks, it was full almost every day... so now i prefer to go skh or soon lee.. because less crowded..

it's raining now.. these days the weather is very unpredictable.. theoretically, now is the transition period between north-east and south-west monsoon.. it's so hot when the sun is there.. and i don't like it when it rains.. because my fingers and toes tend to get cold very easily on a cold weather.. or in cold surrounding..
actually i've found a way to prevent that.. by having hot water bath.. i'm so into hot water bubble bath now.. but i limit myself to 2 times a week..because i still feel guilty for taking a bath and not shower... that's so environmental unfriendly.. for my family.. they think i'm insane to try to save water and electricity.. because since my dad will pay for it.. i don't know how to explain to them that i'm not saving money.. it's the resources that i'm trying to save..

i haven't started my final year project.. i want to read through all info i can get about it before i start.. but i know i can't delay too much.. my plan is i'll start in week 6 or week 7.. will start by identifying and collecting the fern species.. and this sem we have a mini project of entomology on collecting insects.. i feel very reluctant to do this porject.. because everytime when i catch an insect.. it means i have to kill them.. i feel so sinful.. the lecturer wants us to catch 200 insects each person.. and i'm considering handing in a lot less than that.. i only have less than 20 now..
if everyone of us get 200.. and this happens once a year.. what will happen to the insect population here? we're not given guidelines on which insect is safe to catch and which is not.. which is an endangered species and should be avoided.. what techniques we should use to catch any particular insects.. we're not instructed.. the technician said we have the apparatus.. but no one has taught us how to use it.. hmm.. maybe this is the kind of uni course in oversea universities.. it's not the kind of things i like to do.. so i have to keep forcing myself to catch and kill.. i'm soo guilty to the insects..

lee shi.. hope you're feeling better now.. i love you.. we all love you here.. :)

jocy, yesterday, the butterflies are struggling again. I feel so bad for having to kill them. I think I wouldn't submit 200 too.
