first blog of 23

thanks people.. it always makes me smile whenever i got your birthday greetings..

you know what mama, with all those silly things you did, i'd love to have a teacher like you.. with you around, i'm sure the school time will be a lot more fun ;) hehe

last week..kind of hectic for me.. i was trying to finish all the permanent stained slides i need to do... so i spend most of the days in the lab, doing the staining.. not every outcome is satisfying so i ended up repeating a few times.. thought of showing them to my supervisor on monday.. but he wasn't there.. then today he's still sick.. poor old man.. hope he's getting better now.. i like him, he's one of the best lecturers i've ever come across.. so knowledgeable and helpful

this sem.. we have a new lecturer.. can't say he's not good.. maybe he's just not suitable to teach undergraduate.. perhaps he'll be an excellent supervisor for a PHD student..
for me.. it's hard to pass this course.. i was actually aiming to get an A at first.. but now.. i hope i can get at least a C.. this course is not easy.. and one of the lecturers is not easy to approach too..
but sometimes i wonder.. am i being biased or too intimidated by the bad impression i have of him?
maybe he's not that bad actually.. i don't know.. but i'm sure i need to find a way to approach him correctly.. i believe the department is willing to help us.. but they too have their responsibility and worry.. as a student.. there are lots of things i don't know..
it's likely that he'll teach us till the end of the course.. i don't think i can make myself to like him.. but it'll help me if i can stand neutral..
if i try to look on the good side.. things will become a lot simpler and easier.. i guess
i don't think i'm a good student.. because i get lazy most of the time.. so i think it's not right to point fingers at others when i myself can't do the same..

reminds of me a drawing i saw at ICC.. that drawing is fully of clowns laughing and pointing at another clown.. the artist is trying to convey the message that.. in our life.. we always laugh or blame others for their mistakes.. without realizing us too make the same mistakes... how true..

oh yeah.. last sunday we went to the wedding of anna's brother.. i bet all of us got sun-burned.. especially mama and lina.. poor girls.. they did the hardest job.. i stayed under the tent most of the time and yet, i was still reddish on monday morning.. but it's nice to see everyone there.. well almost everyone.. lizzy wasn't there :

last week.. the major reason why i was exhausted is my niece and nephew.. gosh! i wouldn't consider to be their nanny even if the monthly pay is B$500.. they can fight all the time..
whatever the sister has, the brother wants it too.. the sister won't give in to the brother, but she always show off to her brother what she has got.. so we tried to give one to each of them. and they still get into a fight!!! kids these days are just nightmares..
i know some people will relate young kids to angels.. but for me.. they're devil in disguise most of the time.. so naughty, so hard to control and yet, they'll make you love them so much..
it;s tiring to babysit them.. especially when two together.. but.. whenever i'm free.. i'll definitely bring them here.. like hitting my own toes with a stone right..
since now i complain so much about my niece and nephew.. i have no doubts next time my kids won't be any better too (if i change my mind and decide to have kids).. see? i never think it's a good idea to have smart kids.. what's with the DHA, SA, bla bla bla.. expensive milk powder to produce kids that drive the adults crazy
