Scorpios are loyal, resourceful, observant, dynamic and PASSIONATE. aaron once told me, do you know you're so unlike your star sign. like, nothing like your star sign. yeah... i don't know why. funny how more than 1 person think the exact same thing.
lesson learnt? perhaps. but really, i think that people need to be reminded some time, comfort zones are hellish traps that everyone is susceptible to. after all, we're only human.
anyways, i went down to sim lim after church today. got my laptop adaptor changed. problem seems solved so far. was even able to get online while on number 12 with nokia wifi. pretty cool. surprised rong on googletalk and she surprised me even more after. her dad's 50th birthday today! anyways, they'll be having dinner tonight so i can't see my darling. so upsetting. well... i guess there's always tomorrow.
miss her so damn much now. grrrr.

"Diagnostic tool for cancer detection. Effect of transition metal ions"
Cancer is globally ranked as the second top killer disease, and is the number one killer disease in Singapore. Tumor cells produce polyamines and/or proteins specific to the tumor cells, which are present in excess quantity in the body fluids, such as blood serum and urine, of cancer patients. Hence detecting these biomarkers in the body fluids would potentially improve cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment. In this project, the candidate will identify the materials system (transition metal ions and reagents) that can selectively bind with urine components and proteins specific to cancer in the urine. The objective of this project is to develop a procedure which is able to extract the protein from the urine for amino acid sequence analysis, thus identifying the biomarkers themselves.
sounds like a mountain of research work to be done, well at least i don't have to struggle with formulae or algorithms, or get stuck in the school lab cultivating cells. i hope.
RAHHHHHHHHHHH.

can't wait for dinner tonight! rong went to mimolette last night with her friend, met with celine and co. somehow, i managed to be at ease with letting her go alone. seems like she had fun. oh well that's a good thing. i got stuck on the road for 1hr cause i missed an exit, which was why i was late when i came to pick her. so embarassing.
school looms nearer and nearer. soon it'll be 4th aug and i'll be shuttling to school. boring. i wish the holidays would never end!

most recently, went along with rong and her mom to sim lim and helped her get her long awaited ram upgrade. (i didn't know lappie's came with 200mb ram only! *sarcasm*) anyways, i'm glad that now she can finally do work without the com having to restart and stuff. will be a great time saver.
on another tone, we've not seen each other much since last thurs, rah. i guess we gotta get used to it sooner or later. anyhow, i can't wait for next week. hee hee. *evil grin*
YAY!

we came from 2 different worlds,
trance is your poison,
hip hop is mine.
clubbing, drinking, meeting friends the things you love.
for me, i've just grown out of that stage.
seems like there is no common grounds we stand on,
no interests we share.
or is there...?
laksa, nasi lemak, hong kong cafe and dumplings,
lazing around on off days,
i like that.
walking around endless streets with you,
catching movies we both want to see,
i like that.
travelling the world with nothing more than each other's company,
sharing a bottle of bubbly between us 2,
i like that.
enjoying each other's warmth in bed,
dancing around in each other's arms,
i like that.
many more that i cannot list, by the pure fact that there is too many.
the truth somehow comes upon me, that we are not that different after all.
recent times have not allowed us these graces,
but it has not forbid the future to allow them.
doubt grows ever in our minds, if we not but see past the nagging seeds,
that we may finally open our hearts and minds to what is there before us,
simple and true, a common factor that links us both together.
love.

yep, been a while hasn't it.
most recently, i've had the best trip of my life to the distant lands of taiwan and hong kong. i realise that it's not so much as to what the destination offered, seeing as how i've been to both those locations before. it was actually more of the fact that i had alongside, the best company i could ever want. thanks darling, for the most enjoyable trip ever.
first 2 days were spent in taiwan, land of bubble tea, dumplings and trendy fashion. we found the most excellent dumpling shop ever there in ximen ting, plus huge bubble teas with half the cup full of pearls. it was awesome. managed to even wander down to central area to the more classy shopping centres. we didn't spend much in taiwan though, the clothes were a little expensive for what we thought they were worth. also, we traversed to shilin night market but we only went to the food side, apparently the shopping was on the other side... but well, we WERE kinda too tired to walk further so we wouldnt have gone on either way!
next, hong kong! we did most of the shopping here. hnm, uniqlo, i.t and all the quaint shopping arcades hidden from view. we made a big killing here. also managed to get lao po bing for rong's relatives. anyways, the sushi in hong kong is damn nice! the sashimi slices were huge, and they are cheap compared to singapore. had ben and jerry's on the last night as well... sigh i miss the place so much.
really missed the good times we spent overseas. well... the good thing is we know that there will be more chances like these. so... don't be too sad dear.
muah!
