Alrite... 1 down 3 more to go. Kinda relieved to have Bioen 302 out of the way... now my main worry would be biochemistry. Sigh. Demmit I hate biochem.
Its weird how it seems as though some pple have to study really hard while others don't have to at all. I know my neighbours have been watching tv and playing PS2 the whole time I'm struggling at my books. Demmit I wonder what course they are taking. Main question is: will all my efforts now be rewarded in the future? I mean if my playful neighbour becomes a rich successful person while I'm like this poor researcher (still) slogging away in the labs, that would pretty much suck. Humph. Well I guess life ain't fair anyway.
Anyway this goes out to the pple suffering out there together with me (I know u are xianne). All the best... and it'll soon be over. And xianne, just do best yah... man u sound so discouraged its scary. If u did your best, its fine trust me. God bless. :)

Its weird... somehow the conversations that I've been having with pple over the internet seem to revolve around relationships. A friend of mine complained to me today that he 'needed a girl else he wouldn't feel happy'. I thought that was kinda sad....
I think we all need to appreciate other things in life rather than just focusing on a relationship. Given that yes, its kinda important and there are definitely perks to getting a girl/boy friend, we should not lament at any inability to find one. Such things, I believe, is natural; that person would appear in your life if he/she is meant to. Whether or not we take that chance to grab it however, is entirely up to us. There are still lots of things around that we should be happy about, be it friends, family, or just the daily happenings of life.
I know I am grateful for the wonderful parents I have, the cute sister, the great relatives, the strong friendships... in general... life.
Am I attached? No I'm not.
Am I happy? Hell yeah I am.

Marriage... a topic brought up frequently with some of my friends taking that big (dreaded?) step forward and plunging into that unknown, turbulent and sometimes rewarding phase of life. To many, its a sacred (religious) path to take; to declare each other as man and wife, to live happily ever after. Or, to some pple, it is merely a license allowing both parties to have sex. Lol. I prefer to think of it as the sacred path.
A friend of mine... lets call her G, went through some pre-marital pains the other day. Looks like marriage is so difficult, even the events leading up to the marriage are so tough. BIG factor: In-laws. Love them or hate them, they would soon be part of your family.... and similarly they would have to accept the fact that you are part of their family as well. No wonder pple say that marriage does not simply involve the man and wife, but the families as well. G has experienced some problems with the in-law side.... religious and stuff. Its really unfortunate... but I guess all she can do is hang in there, be patient and give them time to accept her. But also as a guy... this is what i say.... the guy has GOT to help out here. I mean... come on you're the MAN and she's your friggin wife for crying out loud. Support her, and be the link between her and your family. Thats the least you could possibly do.
Next time I'm gonna make camp at my prospective wife's place.... make sure her parents get REAL used to me. Heh. I think its important... that should probably be the situation even before i attempt to propose.
Hmm don't know about you guys.... but its kinda scary discussing marriage already.... damn. I mean.... are we getting older or what? Man i wanna stay young.

Thanksgiving is over! Its probably true that time seems to pass u by faster when u're enjoying urself. Think that probably the longest ever weekend i had was when I had to spend it typing a lab report. :( That sucked.
Sometimes I wonder if the professors actually just rack their brains figuring out a lab that would puzzle us more rather than help us understand the stuff they're teaching. Maybe it is to satisfy some sadistic nature of theirs to see us students struggle and wade through the complex stuff the experiment expects us to do. Argh.
Am probably feeling like that cos I'm struggling with one right now... sigh. Man i need Pearline's brains... haha. Can't wait for winter break.... California here i come!! :)
Just an interesting fact.... my cousin bought his own domain name! How cool is that? Wow. View it here.
