this morning, i was so excited after learning the good news..
so , so , so, so excited!! I can never overstate the excitedness.
The feelingg is like a camel found a oasis in the middle of desert.
At that moment, I totally thought that it's the thing I should do and have to do.
After a while, I finally have a chance to cool down and think it over.
I try to research more, only to find out I SHOULD NOT do it.
Everything will be out of my control if I accept it.
It really made me sad. I really want the opportunity.
But, why??
Index of happiness for today:
100% happiness ---> nothing
......................................................................
Will I pass my Biochem exam tomorrow?
Will I pass the 90 line? I hope so. No, I really want to. I spent the whole 2 weeks for it.
But, like they always said, 期望越大, 失望越大.
I can feel bad thing going to happen.
But, I definitely anticipate for the DC trip this weekend. It's for the SAKURAFEST!!!
going to take LOTZZZZZZZZZ of pictures :)

: ],,,,
Aiyo, I'm so hungry.
Though I had a late dinner, a very late dinner, at 11pm, I am still very hungry.
Suddenly, I thought of a Dim Sum Restaurant. No, not Dai Yu Bin for some reason, but it's the dim sum restaurant we went the morning I left Malaysia. I remembered it served nice egg tarts. The egg tarts were warm, maybe, because we went there very early that day, at 6am. They just brought out the egg tarts right out of ovens. Oh, I missed dim sum so much!! Kulukulukulu.... so hungry. I think I can fly back just for the sake of dim sum :]......
This evening, it rained cats and dogs. But, it is not cold at all. In fact, I had my window open throughout the night, enjoying the breeze and fresh air after the long awaited rain. But, I didn;t really expected the rain. I was studying at DCC this evening when I heard the thunder. Thinking that it might rain later ( Ya, I never checked the weather.com), I started to pack. By the time I got out of the building, it hasn't rain yet; I only saw lightning, ya, the RARE lightning! When I was walking home, it began to rain. It got heavier and heavier in few seconds.... It rained so heavily that I couldn't see my way. Although my house is just 1 block away from the college center, I was all soaked by the time I reached my door. What a bad situations! But, I do glad that it rained. I must say this rain is kind of like the evening rain in Malaysia. It's not too cold, and it washed away the dirt accummulated in the day. A refreshing rain it was. Oh, did I tell you that I prefer rainy day than a sunny day? :) I just love the quiet surrounding when it is raining. You heard nothing but the raining sound, "pi! pi! pa! pa! ba! pa!"

最近 好忙也好烦..
下星期有两个考试.
Aiyo, I think I'll just write in English. I can't type fast in Chinese..
I have 2 exams next week. I haven't touched my paper since spring break. Ah, dateline is approaching.... I think I'll start working on it this weekend. Luckily, I signed up for the tutoring, or else, I'll procrastinate til the very last day and call up my sis again at midnight.
No a good experience at all!
Next week, I have biochem exam. I have been studying these few days for it. But, progress is still very slow. Maybe, I'm still in the spring break mood :( I just couldn't find that "thing" that will push me to study harder.. I must do better than the last time!
Just now, a senior told me that she accidentally found out my standing in a course. She said I did very well, very well -- I got the highest final grade in a course last sem. But, the moment she said that I quickly say, "No, I am not!". After a few seconds, I started to question my reaction. Why on earth I deny it?? I knew I did pretty good in that course. Why can't I just agree with her, acting like Americans when they receive compliment? Maybe, maybe, she will hate me or something, so I chose to deny it.... But, it turned up that she actually felt happy for me; she even wanna tell the professor that we are from the same country! There was no hostility in her words at all. She just wanna compliment for my good work. Suddenly, I felt bad; I felt bad for judging her....
Why I become so afraid to tell the truth when it comes to my results?
After a thorough thought, I guessed there are 2 reasons:
1) I am afraid that ppl will hate me if I get a higher score.
I just don't like that kind of competition feeling among peer. It'll just draw you away from your friends. It's not pretty at all. During my freshman, my lab partners acted very unfriendly towards me when they knew I got an A for my Bio midterm, ya, it's not even the final exam. It was not fun. I ended up didn't talk much to them until the end of semester.
2) Same as the 1st one, I will hate that person if I get a higher score.
Ya, I'm typically Asian. It's all about kiasulism. Maybe, it's how we grow up. Remember, in elementary school, there is always a boy/girl who carries a notebook to jot down everyone's grades after each exams. Sound familiar, right? It seems that eveyone is taught to beat others since young... So, to avoid myself from hating others unneccsesarily, I choose not to know others' business. In turn, I get very protective for my grades. Silly??
Maybe it's time for me to change my attitude.
when someone asks about it,
TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL?
What do you think?
Answer it, and I talked about the second thing I'm 烦ing in the next blog.
I guess I'm not going to write about Philly trip anymore. Pictures will be posted on fb soon is fb didn't reject my upload. And ya, I removed last blog :P after realizing that my blog is not that a private space. Everyone can just come in and out like going to a public toilet. You never knew who will stumble on it @@ So, I better reserve that kinds of stuff :)

:(
I was supposed to go NYC today, but, I didn't.
First, it would be very boring if I went there alone.
Second, it would be super weird if I went to the Korean restaurant alone.
Third, I am really no in mood of shopping after watching a video at Tzu Chi.
Since I was not going to shop, nor eat, that is no point for me to go to the city...
So, I decided to stay at home and enjoyed the last day o spring break.
I'm glad that I finished all my reports. So, I guessed I can have a carefree Sunday ~~ a rare opportunity :)
But, I still miss the frozen yogurt. I think I'll have some at I's Cafe later :)
I's Cafe, the place I went at the first day of spring break --> a good place to start and end my spring break??
I wonder when I'll go to the city again??? So close yet so far....
"So close yet so far"
This phrase made me think of a romantic phrase that I came across yesterday,
"世界最长的距离是是你在我面前却不知道我爱你" (sth like that)
How romantic, or sad, is that?
Ok, need to get ready to have my frozen yogurt :)
Til then

Ah!
Ok, I was supposed to go to the City today. But, I didn't. You know why?
Because it was SNOWING heavily this morning. Yeah, I'm not kidding. It actually snowed on the first day of Spring! How IRONIC is that?
It snowed a lot when I woke up at 8.30am. The little empty land at my backyard was completely covered by white snow. So, I assumed that it would continue to snow for the whole day, and the city would be super cold~~ So, I continued my sweet dream. When I woke up at 10.30am, I only saw a patch of snow at the backyard from my window. The weather was getting better apparently. But, it's still cold, and it might turn snow again. So, I slept again. I finally woke up at 12.30pm. You know what? What! All the snow disappeared. Ya, they just disappeared. I actually doubted whether it snowed in reality or just my dream. I was so confused. But then, my roommate told me it did snow HEAVILY this morning. So, I was right. The snow was not my imaginations.
Damn it! If I know the weather was that good, I would have been shopping in the City! Ah, I'm so mad!
But, anyway, I spent the whole day doing my biochem report. I'm done with one, the harder one. So, I only have one more report to go. I'll just do it later, maybe tomorrow :)
Yesterday, we just received the grade for mol gen lab. I didn't do as good as I expected. What made me really mad is him. Hello Mr. C, my grade is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Are you that happy knowing that I didn't get as high as yours! Stop stalking on my grade! It's not the first time you did it. I'm totally disgusted with your antics!
Something made me really happy today. This morning, or afternoon to be exact, Shi Gu called me. She intended to invite me over for lunch tomorrow after the book-packing event. But, the friend, who is going to give me a ride, is a vegetarian. So, too bad, I couldn't go. But, the Shi Gu said she would ask another friend to bring her cookings for me next time. This Shi Gu really can cooks delicious food :) But, what made me happy is not the food. But, it's the phone call and lunch invitation. It made me feel like someone does care about me though we do not meet everyday. It's quite hard to describe the feeling... maybe not just happy, but touched. Anyhow, in a nutshell, the phone call brightened my day :D
Ok, you know what... If, if I can finish all my work today, I'll go to the city on Sunday, maybe do some window shopping, eat Korean food and also not to forget, the Frozen Yogurt (Red Mango? Pink Berry?) :D Have to JIA YOU, and finish up my homeworks!
加油!加油!

a lazy day; a lazy me
Hi, there. Again.
I know I just updated my post yesterday. But, I'm bored. Just too bored. And, I don't wanna do my homework....
It's already 6pm. Yet, the day is still so bright.
It was raining this afternoon + evening. So, it's quite cold now.
It hasn't been raining for a while coz it usually snowed. The shower during the evening made me think of the weather in Malaysia. Remember, it is not unusual to rain in the evening back at home. What they called the rain?? We learned about it in Geography, but, I just couldn't remember. After all, it has been 8 years since I learned it. I miss home~~
I woke up at 1pm today. It's late, I know. I haven't woken up that late since the beginning of this semester. Am I trying to be a good kid? :) ok, I'm not. The truth is I have classes at 9.15am almost everyday. And, on Saurdays, I have to wake up early for practice while Sundays are the days when I have to cram all my homeworks. So, I didn't have any chances to sleep late.
Talking about classes... Remember I was quite nervous at the beginning of the semester because of the 6 classes that I had to take. It's not all that bad. So far so good is what I can say. I found myself spending less time watching Taiwanese drama :) Maybe, it's a good things.
Ya, yesterday, we had a sushi night at the girls' house. We made lotzzz of sushi - salmon, egg, crabsticks. Yummy! Yummy!! We thought we're going to finish all the sushi because we have so many people. But, at the end, everyone is so full after eating few pieces :) Ha, it's so funny!
Ah, I have nothing to write anymore. Maybe, I should start working on my essay and reports if I really wanna go to NYC tomorrow.
Till then,

spring break update!!
Hi everyone!
Today is the fifth day of the break.
Though at first, I thought I won't have any entertainment for the holiday, I guess I was wrong.
I've been doing stuffs and traveling since the start of the break.
On Saturday, I went for the Kendo practice coz I thought K would be there too. Ah, I was wrong again :( But, it was a fun practice because after the practice, we went to Mitsuwa, a Japanese supermarket at North Jersey (Edgewater) for lunch. We also did some grocery shopping. I bought some yakitori (octopus ball). Yummy! It's the first time we hanged out with sensei, the Kendo teacher. It's fun coz we (sensei n club members) got a chance to interact and knew each other better... We ended spending 5 hours there. I went home at 8pm, totally exhausted. Yet, still very contented :) Later that nite, when I was about to sleep at 12am, the girls (juniors) called. All the girl seniors were hanging out at their house. Since I'm bored, I decided to sleep over there and had some pillow talk with the girls. We watched "Constantine" til 1.30pm, I chatted with my senior till 3.30am :D
The next day, my senior and I visited Princeton coz michael said he's driving. We walked around the campus and took lotz of pictures :) I really like the campus because all the buildings was so antique. Everything was so 17th century European-feel. Oh, it made me feel like I was a princess in a Fairy tale :) Day dreaming~~~~ That's why people said prince and princess go to princeton!
On Monday, we went to Philadelphia for a historical tour. We just came back yesterday nite. Will update about it later coz I want to dedicate one whole post for the trip :)
The weather is getting warmer this day. I can't wait for the days where I can't wear shorts. I miss the warm sun!
Yesterday, I got an email for the internship I applied to. It's bad news. I didn't get it. It's so sad.... I really wanted it so much. But, what to do... I just have to accept their decisions. Now what for summer? Rutgers? OSU? Malaysia? I totally have NO IDEA!!
Will think about it later; I just wanna enjoy my break to the fullest.
Ah, I can't wait for my NYC shopping trip on Friday, and the Korean food :)
Maybe we'll go for Kimchi fried rice or Tofu house. Yummy! Yummy!
Til then.

Spring break
So, my spring break officially started this afternoon.
Yet, I still didn't have any plan for the break yet.
I was thinking of going to Michigan. But, the train tix is just too expensive - $200++
That's why I have to cancel the trip :'[
This afternoon, I spent 3 hours in the lab. I never stayed more than 2 hours in the lab. But, today, I just didn't wanna go home coz I had no place to go. So sad... After all the work was done, I really had to go. So, I went home, had a simple lunch, and watched a few episodes of a Korean drama. Then, I went to gym for some workouts. Huh, I've never stepped into the recreation center since the beginning of sem. Too busy? Too lazy? While running on the treadmill for 30 minutes, I watched a travel program about Disneyworld. The place is so nice. Ah, I missed Disneyland so much :( Maybe, maybe, we should go to Disneyworld this coming winter break. GIRLS, let's go to Florida! After the tiring workouts, I went for a swim. Hu~~~ I just love swimming :o)
So far, nothing is planned yet for spring break. Maybe, I guess, some juniors and I will go for a short excursion to Philadelphia, the historical town in the States. It's a nice place to go since I'm taking American Gov this semester. I can visit the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776/1778 (not sure??) How cool is that? :P
Since I have some spare time now, maybe I should get my visa done if I'm serious about going to Canada this summer. Never do things last minutes, right? I can go to NYC on the St. Patrick's Day and watch the Irish "green" parade. Too bad, I'm not of legal age to drink any Irish Beer.. Ow! Hopefully, next year :)
Ok, I should get some sleep now. It's getting late (1.30pm d), and I have a Kendo practice tomorrow. We're doing formation tomorrow so that seniors who are going for testing soon can get some training. Huh, hopefully, teacher is going to teach us the 3rd level of formation! It seemed so cool :)
Till then, nite.

~i overslept
it's all day light saving's fault!
i set the alarm to 8am, but i switched it off unconsciously
then, i woke up, it's already 11am.
If there was no day light saving, it would be 10am.
So, I was so late to work.
I was supposed to be there at 10.30am.
I have never been late since the beginning of semester.
I rushed to the lab, without eating any breakfast.
Ok, I had a granola bar on the way, but, I was so hungry.....
I felt so tired after having a terrible morning ~~~
I couldn't concentrate while studying for my exam after that...
In conclusion, I hate day light saving!
Just hate it!
i set the alarm to 8am, but i switched it off unconsciously
then, i woke up, it's already 11am.
If there was no day light saving, it would be 10am.
So, I was so late to work.

Me luv bubble tea~~~
Hello, everyone! How are you guys?
I felt very happy every time after kendo practice. It's the "Happy" hormone, I guess :)
Anyway, I heard many funny jokes somehow today... Make me even happier...
Someone said these in a seminar,
~Human prays. But, I know my dog doesn't.
~The squirrels at the backyards don't know when they will get their next nut, but, they won't hire Mexican Chipmunks to collect them.
Hahahahaha!!!! I can't stop laughing after listening to the 2nd joke. It's hella funny :D
So ironic yet so true :)
In Malaysia, you can change it to:
The squirrels at the backyards don't know when they will get their next nut, but, they won't hire Bangladesh/Indon Chipmunks to collect them.
Hahahahahaha, still that funny! I'm evil, I know ~~~
Actuallty, both jokes came from a speaker in a seminar. I was too tired of studying today that I went to a seminar this evening. The seminar was held in conjunction with Darwin's 200th anniversary and "Origin of Life's" 150th anniversary. I guess this is the last talk for the whole Darwin's celebration. Luckily, I'm just in time to catch the last train.
I was reading a paper outside the hall, and M passed by. And ya, I managed to ask her to join me :)
It's been a while since we did things tomorrow. We used to go eat together, went to concert together, attend talks together, join club together, and even have fun in NYC together last year. What a memorable good old day, how I wish we can do the same thing over again :)
M is a girl I met in my Music class. She is an international student just like me. She is from a small country at South America called Suriname, a small country that you probably never heard of just like Malaysia to some people. Ya, we're Chinese, a non majority race in our motherlands. She knew a bit of Malay food/culture coz there are Indon Malay in her country. She knew what "roti" is coz the major race in her country is Indian. The coolest part is we both speak Hakka! How cool is that! (Though she said she couldn't understand mine (=.=lll)
Sorry for the digression. So, the talk was titled, "The Earth will survive for another 2 mil years, will we?" or something like that.... It's about how fundamental essential genes or "nanomachine" such as chloroplasts are conserved, and how we, the human, destroy the Earth through speech evolution. I just learned about photosynthesis at biochem this evening, so it's kind of cool listening about photosynthesis from evolutionary point of view.
The conclusion I got is that the Earth will survive for another millions of year until the sun dies off. The microbes will survive all the destruction by humans since they have survived the ice age, volcanic eruption etc. But, for humans, sorry about that, if we continue to drill all the oil, create more carbon footprint, we'll not only kill other plants or animals, but we'll end up terminating ourselves faster than backgraound extinction..." Cruel but true!
The talk and the speaker were both interesting. I like the way he presented the materials with all the fact and graphics, and also the JOKES! They made me laugh like a mad person :P
The seminar was so interesting that I ran late to my Kendo pratice. I went there at 9pm though the practice started at 8.30pm. Luckily, I only missed few set of Kendo no Kata. I'm glad that I went to the practice coz it's the last pratice before the break. It's tiring as usual but it's rewarding. I felt myself is doing better in this practice. And, Sensei said I can get the Bogu set! ;)
Before we dismissed, we had a small discussion about the tournament yesterday. Ya, we had a kendo tournament in Rutgers University. Kendoka from Northeastern US such as Boston U, Yale, Cornell, DC and NY came over to compete. It's fun to see people testing and competing. Hopefully, I'll able to test in the next tournament! Have to work really hard and brush up my skills! Jia you!
And, I talked with him after the practice. Finally~~~~ @-@ Yes! So happy!
本来以为我们会在一起,
可是, 回去一趟, 所有的友情,热情都没了
是你忘了, 还是我变了?
是你忘了我们一起念书,吃饭的时光?
还是我不记得我们一星期数次的约定?
对不起,我把事情搞得一塌糊涂...
或者, 我真的还没准备好...
或者, 我根本不适和你.
对不起, 如果你看懂这一段, 我们可以成为普通朋友吗?
真的对不起. 我还是没勇气写英文 (=.=lll)

..?..
So, I got the bonus holiday... Guess what? I did nothing much, as usual.
I woke up at 11am though I set my alarm clock to 9am. Ya, I did that often, if not every single day. The first thing I did after that was logging in to the net. I checked my 3 mailboxes over and over again, searched for useless information on the net and watched some nonsense video before I started working on my almost-done food analysis lab report.
After that, I balanced my account book since today is March 2nd. Gosh, I think I overspent again @@ Maybe I should cut down the expense for coffee and hot cocoa... Or, should I stop having breakfast at student center? But, I'll miss my bagel and cream cheese so much!
As I have been carving for green tea slush for a long time, I decided to have lunch+dinner at the Noodle Gourmet and got the bubble tea :) Me loves Bubble tea!
I should be going to the library to study after eating. But, I went to do grocery instead. I needed food! By the time I got home, it was already 6.30pm. Thinking that I'll have more time to study later, I surfed the net again for some useless information and a full hour there :'(
Maybe, deep in heart, I just didn't wanna study on the bonus holiday. So, I ended up cleaning up my room, rearranged my closet, and refolded all my clothes for the past 3 hours.
Ok. Get to go. It's already 12am. Maybe I should start analyzing some data for my lab report, after all, it's no longer Monday anymore....
Till then :S

Snow day
New Jersey is expecting a significant snowstorm late tonight and Monday. As a result of this forecast:
- Daytime and evening classes on the New Brunswick and Piscataway Campuses are canceled for Monday, March 2, 2009.
HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY!!!
No class! No class!!
No biochem :)
(fyi, this rare event only occurs only a year)
Wait... how about my conference for writing class? and the review section for mol gen lab @@
Sheeeuuuutttt! How r??? DIE.
But, I am indeed grateful for the break because I haven't gotten any good rest this weekend.
Last Friday, I have to attend a Shinai maintenance "party" with the Kendo club. We should go for dinner after the maintenance section (the cute K guy was there). Unfortunately, I have to leave early for another meeting. So sad....
Then, yesterday, I went for a full section of Kendo practice, from 10-2.30pm. After the practice, we went out for a lunch with our teacher, which took about 2 hours. So, basically I didn't study at all the whole day :'(
Today, I volunteered at the Special Friend's Day. At first, I planned to stay for an hour. But then, considering the fact that it was so easy to earn my volunteer hours, I decided to stay for another hour. After that.....
It's time to face all the consequences. I was forced to stay at the Cook Campus Center and Chang Library for 5 hours to finish up my mid term paper... Yet, I still didn't finish it after the 5-hour cramming section. It seems that I have to burn midnight oil tonight to get it done..
In conclusion, I really need the day-off :)
Thank God for snowing! O O O
