Its over!

Yay! Praise God that my Honours Talk went well even though I couldn't answer anyones questions but they shouldnt ask such irrelevant questions next time!

My labmate got asked questions that I definately had answers for, why didn't they ask me the same thing!?

Which is kinda funny as well, cos like everyone was saying how they dreaded question time whereas I was all, yea I'm ready for it!! lol. I mean...I did so much background reading...but no. they had to ask me stupid things like error bars (hello i havent performed the experiments yet) and evolution (hello im not an evolutionist).

Settling back this weekend to read a book on mouse behaviour. Its really interesting! I really should have studied to be an ethologist. sigh. :p

Going to Koorong today! :D

aiyo my honours project proposal talk is tommorow...

sigh.... :/

Three by Fives

I dont care what John Mayer says, I reckon there are some things in life that should be captured on film. I know in the world of photoshoppery pictures dont as much credibility as it used to but at least you know that it really happened.

Today was another day where I regretted not bringing my camera with me. I was walking along the Pyrmont Bridge as usual, staring at the water for another fantastic phenomenon as usual, when before my very eyes I spotted a swarm of jellyfish!! There must have been hundreds to maybe over 2 thousand, I kid you not!! All this to add to the giant orange jellyfish I saw last week. My thoughts were like:

"Holy crap!" O_O

and then...

"ARGH shouldve brought my camera!!" >.<

and then...

"doh when will you ever learn..." -__- ;

On my way to uni, I could see the potentials of having those two pictures:

ATTACK OF THE KILLER JELLYFISH!!

invaders from beyond!
(the sea)

Cos like there were the mother scout ships and then the swarm.

Creepy o.O

Anyways. The point is....carry the camera around! Even if it does make you look like a japanese tourist :p

Apply when bored:

Last Friday I went shopping for thongs cos my current pair has soles so thin I could literally feel every pebble I walked on. It also had absolutely no grip when the floor was wet. I got a funky orange pair with funky flower soles. I wore it while it was raining today. Having traction so rocks!

My honours project proposal draft was also long overdue so I finally decided to sit down and get it done today. I should never write with pencils cos it distracts me when I get bored (which is pretty soon after 10 mins or so). I ended up drawing a dragon all over my notes. The quality of my drawings always coincide with how bored I am. For example in high school, my best drawings were always during Malay Literature. I cant even remember what its called in malay anymore. Who cares.

Also, since its technically Valentines Day, I shall finally get around to fulfilling my tag duties from Sara's blog. Its something like name 8 things you'd like in your dream boyfriend.

1. Tet
2. Tet
3. Tet
4. Tet
5. Tet
6. Tet
7. Tet
8. Tet

As always, I will gather my strength and refrain from tagging people in the effort to not advertise the fact that I have no friends. :P

Have a chocolate filled V-Day! :3 @}-;-------

The Stevenson Syndrome

Lately I've been ingesting alot of dairy products because I've become abit paranoid about osteoperosis. I dont know why I worry about silly things like this and not care about cancer or cardiovascular disease e.g. tanning in the sun, eating lots of KFC/junk food etc.

I also get paranoid about bacteria on my food, like raw meat vs uncooked food (and cross contamination) but feel fine about sharing food with animals...like even if they eat from the same hand as me :P hehe.

I have no problem sitting on floors and grassy areas and stuff where a century of unseen dirt has probably accumulated but I hardly ever clean my bathroom even when I spend 6.25% of my day in there because I hate touching all the sponges and brushes and ew stuff -_-

What is up with that? o_O

Maybe it depends on what you've grown up with and are comfortable doing . . . *shrugs*

Just a little dissapointed

Finally got to touch the mice and things today. I've been waiting for ages to be able to play with them and like muck around with them. I guess its different when you actually have to do things with them..... I got bitten today. Not once but 4ice! One quick nip by this female and 3 bites by this one male who just didn't want to let go!!! He was fully evil! Not only did he bite me, he was practically clinging on to my finger and chewing it! And his eyes were closed and honest to goodness, he looked like he was actually enjoying it too!!

Oh the indignity! :O

I just couldnt handle anymore mice after that, not only because of the shock but because it really hurt!!!!! And it hurt for ages and aaaaggeeess after too! So sad... :( Now I gotta wait for the new generation mice to be born and weaned cos this generation obviously hates me! Argh!! So sad >.< How can animals not like me. I like them so much and I'm so gentle with them....maybe I'm just too passive. Animals work best in a dictatorship type society rather than a republic. I guess I'll be more hard hearted towards mice by the end of this year T_T

I do feel slightly appeased now though cos my family went to this Uigur restaurant in chinatown for dinner. And we went to passionflower after for dessert. Ahhh. yummy. Lamb kebab was awesome. :9~

I dont wanna face the mice tommorow :( What am I going to do if all the mice keep biting me throughout the year. I'm stuffed man. I need prayer man...

Doggone it all...

A public thanks to Amita for the doggy poop. Mmmm. Talk about aesthetic value. xP

I was at a picnic yesterday which was organised by two animal lovers. I suppose it was natural for everyone to bring their dogs along for some socialising. They were so adorable!!

First there was old suki. A grave looking dog with an adamant spirit. Just like any old man would be. He had a purple bandana around his neck! xD

Then there was Zack. Eva's giant alsatian. He was so big, his single ear was a quarter the size of my face! But he was really obedient and gentle and like when you take him for walks he pretty much listens to you....he doesnt try to drag you away. And didn't emit a single bark. Just a couple of whines when we didn't allow him to play with some much smaller dogs :P He's the best!

And Honey, the fighter. Small but honestly thinks she could take on Zack o_O Beautiful medium length honey coloured fur. Listens to her name well. Highly jealous of Mikey, the fluff ball. SO much fur you can't see his neck or legs or tail. Literally a small fluff ball with a face walking around. Also jealous of Honey.

They were all very sweet dogs. Very good tempered and friendly and, like all dogs, greedy!! Honey ate anything they chucked at her... even onions! Even though onions make dogs sick so you shouldnt give it to them.

I love pets! I can't wait to have my own cat or dog (or both!) One girl in my lab has 7 cats :O so jealous..... >.>
