Realization
Friday, August 31, 201210:57 PM
Finally finished my 2000 word essay! Stayed up till 1am last night finishing up the referencing. I think towards the end my argument points were quite..rubbish. But I finished it before the deadline so..thankful that I managed to finish it on time. Was super malu and didn't know about the declaration for original work. In the end I printed another copy in uni, stuck a note to it and handed in a second copy. Better to be safe than sorry!
Had a lot of free pancakes today too! Uni had free pancakes during lunch and of course I put maple syrup! Then after uni, went to eat free pancakes at pancake parlor. You have to like their page an claim the offer. It's so nice haha. It probably sounds disgusting but pancakes with ice cream and maple syrup is so delicious!
Anyway, why I titled this post realization? I read something online yesterday(while I was supposed to be doing my essay) and one thing was quite interesting really. People who don't believe in God believes our universe began from what is known as the big bang. Scientists may have theorized it and even proven that it is true but what they are unsure of, is why or rather, the cause of the big bang that created the universe one fine day. Did the big bang just happen to occur and just happen to create the universe in which earth is the only planet able to support life? Is it just coincidence that earth is the only planet with an appropriate amount of water and an atmosphere to support life? Is it coincidence that the Earth is located not too far and yet not too near the sun? There was some info about the moon being perfectly sized too but I don't remember the details. On deeper thought, I don't think all this is coincidence. It was made to happen. If not, wouldn't we all exist out of coincidence? In the beginning, God commanded for light and it was given. It wasn't said how but it just did. Maybe the big bang did occur on God's command. Some food for thought(: accompanied by a picture of pancakes!

Spring is here!! Fixed the piasaweb thing and so here's the first of the barrage of pictures that I hope to post in future updates!
6:10 PM
Guess I was wrong after all, which is a good thing of course :D
Weather's turning sososo nice. I will go fix the blogger app on my iPod after I finish this post..it's been a bit too long-.- Yay! Then I can post pictures more often! Pictures of..stuff I see around, nature etc.
Apparently it's going to rain tomorrow and it's really cold tomorrow too so boooo):
Anyway, had a single tute today from 3-4pm, and that's my entire timetable for today. For one of the few rare times I actually knew how to do the tute sheet. It's not a good sign that I'm not sure what I'm doing but I think it's getting better now because I actually know how to do my chem tute sheets with all the mechanisms, determining starting products and products because now I actually get it. Did mechanisms last term too but..I didn't really get it and had to resort to memorising tons of equations that in the end I forgot almost half so..at least now I understand it and can try to end up with some possible product.
Still now done with my essay :/ Finished like a quarter of my last point and the conclusion. I must finish it tonight because I need to start studying for my test next week. Need to edit the answers for some questions for a group assignment also due on friday.
Meeting my primary school friend next thursday! Actually, I think we knew each other since kindergarten. I AM NOT KIDDING. Since K2 to be exact. We were in the same class and then ended going to the same primary school. Was never really THAT close but it's still quite amazing that she remembered me lol. Being very..unpopular in primary school(not like I was extremely popular in high school or over here either), I didn't expect anyone other than less than 10 people to remember me. I actually remember quite a lot of people but I think they probably won't remember/recognise me anymore. I think I've changed so much, character-wise or appearance-wise, I've changed so much I think not many people will recognise me haha. I'll be quite shocked if some people see me in public and actually recognise me haha. Even in sec2/sec3 in chinese tuition I met 3 other guys all my year from the same primary school and I'm quite sure not a single one of them recognised me. I just found one of them on facebook lol. I even remember his full name-.- Only 3 other peihwa people are mutual friends..should I add him? We were even tablemates in P3 I think. Anyway, the friend I'm meeting, I don't she has changed that much honestly. More mature looking, straight hair now, probably still as tall haha (yes she and her twin sister were so tall last time). She has a twin sister haha, don't think I'm going to meet the sister. Was closer to her than to her sister I think. I couldn't tell them apart in primary school lol. Now after a bit of facebook stalking, I realise the way they smile for photos is different haha. Think we're going for churros! :D Quite excited and nervous about the meeting haha. Don't know if I'll have anything interesting to say lol I'm quite a boring person.

Ohyes, before I forget haha
Spotted a double rainbow today! For the first time too! Really clear double rainbow, and then the entire primary rainbow(the obvious one) could be seen. So the entire arch was over the road. It was drizzling slightly, grey skies and the sun from the back. So beautiful haha God's promise ;)

mygoodness, another crazy fuss being kicked up again.
If anyone has seen my facebook and the most recent tagged photo, well just to clarify things first, NO HE IS NOT MY BF. Went bowling with him and another friend(the girl who took and posted the picture). Well, anyway, my friend(the girl) insisted on the picture and I was like...why?! And as if there isn't enough misunderstandings, it's the chinese valentine's day today-.- I have never ever seen so many likes in such a short time before..nothing's going on luh. It's just a friendly picture that we took because my friend insisted, no idea why though lol. -sigh- what can I say? So many people think he's my bf. -sighs some more-

Downloaded the blogger app on my ipod and tried to post something on it with a picture and it says I have to sign on to picasaweb first..what is that?! I thought it would be more convenient so I don't have to log in all the time and it will be more convenient to post pictures since I take pictures most of the time with my iPod but noooo, now I have to fix the picasaweb thing-.- Going to spend a bomb tomorrow..quite literally. Going out for lunch with my friends tomorrow(XIAO LONG BAO HAHAHA). The food at that shop isn't too expensive..aiming maybe about $10. Then after that, going for coffee at max brenners(I don't even know where the outlet is) with other friends and then going bowling. Bowling itself is..not cheap. Ok to someone who's working will probably find all this reasonable but to the non-working me..it's quite a large spenditure(did I spell it right?!) of money ok! And then getting a lift back from a friend. Yes, I have friends that can drive haha
Going to state library on friday after uni..finish at 1 so..hopefully I can finish up my essay on friday..or at least get all the evidence I need to support the theories etc. for my essay. I heard the lecturer is a very lenient marker but then, knowing this, I still refuse to hand in sloppy work, and I guess in this aspect I've matured a lot. I think in the past I would have been happy and like not really care about the quality as long as I finish it but now, I feel that I should aim for perfection in every assignment lol. -sigh- but my essay is currently not even at its halfway point yet. Lots more work to do :/
Shall go sleep now! Good night!(:

Goodness..I really have no comment about one of my lecturers..
The notes he gives don't even make sense and he keeps cancelling lectures and says it's for active learning. In the first lecture, he said, if you don't understand, read your lecture notes. And a few lectures later he says OH you don't need to know this stuff, you just have to understand it. Like SERIOUSLY?! Even in the lectures, he doesn't even teach properly, like I have not taken a single thing out of his lectures at all. Shall not reveal about his position too much but he is like one of the deans. We don't pay our fees to walk out of every lecture wondering what the heck the lecturer is talking about. First of all, even if you want us to do active learning, give us clear and understandable notes first! Not the notes that you give us with barely any information explaining what is going on. If the whole cohort of students are complaining, shouldn't it be a problem with the lecturer? Even the tute sheet that was uploaded. How are we supposed to do it when everything is so vague? Even the units for measurements aren't even put in WHO IN THE WORLD KNOWS WHAT YOU MEAN?! I can't read your mind, that's for sure. You can have all the knowledge about this topic but you obviously aren't teaching it to us in a comprehensible way. Yes, we shouldn't be spoon-fed but the amount of information you give us is way too little. What do you expect us to do with that meagre bit of information that jumps around everywhere? Even in your lectures you can go from the first page to the last page and back to the middle somewhere. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS YOU-.-

Really shouldn't be blogging(considering I have an oral presentation tmr) but nevertheless, here is another blog post.
I think I really do think a lot. Or maybe I'm just insecure. Or maybe I'm just oversensitive. My friend from uni recently started treating me sort of differently, not like being mean to me but just not as..lively/friendly as when we first became friends. Like with other people she seems quite cheerful and happy but then somehow she seems distant from me. Because she gets off the train stop after mine and we have the same timetable, we usually go home together and for about maybe the past week, we have had almost nothing to say on the train journey home, and in uni I just sit and listen. I'm not exactly her best friend but like I think the friendship is changing? Or am I just thinking too much as usual? I'm quite confused right now. Like I think last thursday, I purposely disappeared to the uni library after lecture and she was walking in front to the tram stop. She texted me about 10minutes later asking where I went, and the next morning I met her on the tram and all was good, and then now it has returned to the slightly awkward atmosphere again. So many questions passing through my mind, some of which are quite stupid..like is she angry at me? Did I do something? Or is she just tired of hanging out with me-.- I think I'm thinking too much right. I keep reassuring myself that I am thinking too much but..it isn't really working. Well, all I can do now is see how it develops.
I'm a pretty slow person also. I'm quite awkward as well, especially with adults, teachers and strangers. I am the kind of person that doesn't know what to say and my slow mind takes a hundred years to think of something to say or a conversation topic-.- Usually before I sleep I think about my day and all the stupid things I did that day haha, and end up regretting a lot of things I said and I even think up funny replies to something someone said that day. Yes, I'm that weird. I don't know why. And just out of the blue, I want to thank all my best friends who have put up with my weirdness and lameness and uh..slowness/retardedness over the years, especially miriam and sarah and zoenin. I can't seem to find a best friend here. I mean I do have friends, quite a lot I guess, but not any close/good friends that I can share everything with. Maybe it's too soon to speak since it's only been 3 years but it isn't impossible.
愛 - heart, friendship.
Friendship from the heart?
