Today was a fairytale

It was Valentine's Day yesterday and yes, love was in the air! The title doesn't suggest that I'm the girl in the the fairytale. I just thought it suits the lovely atmosphere. Lol. It is a day for everyone to celebrate love regardless of whether u are taken or not. To all the couples, appreciate this day and celebrate it everyday even if it's not Valentine's. To all the singles out there, you are also part of this day and let your loved ones know that you care for them!

As for me, I spent time with my friends. We went to Pavillion and watch a movie after our end module exam which I thought I have done badly this time. Anyway, I tried not to think about it as it would have just spoiled the whole idea of having fun later. This Valentine was meaningful as I learned a few things. So what have I have learned? XD

1. Be thoughtful and caring coz you would have just made someone's day.

2. Appreciate everyone around you coz you won't know what's gonna happen next.

3. Be honest to everyone and more importantly to yourself.

4. Think about your parents during this day too.

5. It is not all that bad being single coz it just means that you haven't met your special someone.

6. A gift can be something not so material and probably that is the best Valentine gift ever.

7. Giving in and be more open minded make you a better person.

8. Seeing others feeling good about themselves makes you happy too.

9. Being patient is the hardest thing to do but it is worth.

10. Celebrate love everyday! <3

That's all from me for this Valentine's Day!

One after another

When I just got to know about something that had turned me down or failed me, another thing that is similar came by. It has been like that for the past few days. It's like I get things when I don't expect. When I hope for something to happen, that something won't take place but another thing that was pretty much the same will take place instead. The "same" here meaning that I don't mind settling with it or a much better explaination is that I am satisfied with it as well.

As for yesterday, I went for the office hours for my programming subject for the exam, I saw my GSI and another IA who have been helping me out for the past few projects. I went and seeked help from my GSI fearing that he might not like it if I do not ask him instead. So, I went to him. He was helpful when I approached him for the first time but as for the second time, he told me straight that he was about to leave in 2 seconds when in fact, he has 5 minutes left. The thing that made me doubted his willingness or sincerity to teach was when I saw him still sitting there doing his own thing like surfing the web. I have expected more of him, maybe. I won't take much of his time for just one question. I knew that he was blunt and brutal in lab but I didn't know that he would be like that for office hours as well. As I remembered that he once told a girl when she was asking too much, "Seriously, I don't give a shit about you for not finishing your lab work. As long as you turn up in class and leave when the class ends, I am fine with it".

When my GSI took off, I was still there sitting and studying. The IA was so nice that he actually came over and ask if I needed help before he left. Unlike my GSI, he tried to look at my question. Although he didn't managed to explain it much in depth, I respected him for trying to help me out. Upon leaving though, he had left his material on my table, I immediately took it and went to the stairs where he had went hoping to catch up with him. Lucky that, he realized it and he came back down from the stairs.

When I was about to leave the library though, I bumped into Zera's friend, David who is majoring in Computer Science. He too asked me if I needed any help for programming when he got to know that my exam the next day. He tried to help on the similar question but I guess I will take it as I just don't get it. When I was about to end that day, it was pretty late and one of my friends asked me why wasn't I asleep yet and after a few minutes, another friend of mine ask the exact question.

As for today, my day started with Chemistry and English. In English class, I got my short paper back and I did good in it. A few hours later, I got an email from my Chem GSI that he would be waiting for us to collect our report. I went to collect it and the grade wasn't that good. I think he is parsimony in terms of giving marks. For some reason, I felt like he was bias. Anyway, after my exam today, I got to know my project scores. I got my grades for one subject after another. It's like one after another as well like yesterday. Weird and creepy...

All my life I've been good but now~

The AMSEP group picture! Recently I was involved in the Asian Medical Student Exchange Program. It was before Chinese New Year. I made new friends who are from Indonesia (Amel, Adel, Ivan, Hans, Raymond, Rico and Sulae) and got closer to the other AMSEP members which I thought was a really great experience. Obviously I can't be able to write down all the details so I will just say it was really enjoyable and at the end of the day, I didn't regret joining this program at all. I hope they had fun in Malaysia and really wish I could meet them again probably in other programs. :)

Then came CNY. As usual, we went visiting. Watched the adults gambled. Collected angpows. Went to grandpa's house for breakfast and dinner everyday. Met up with other family members and family friends. Watched movies. Lol. I think this is pretty short and simple.

The title is just something random. Just thought that it suits my mood. I felt like just doing something I feel right without caring about the consequences and what others might think. I guess you would have known. It's Avril Lavigne's "What the Hell." So, that's all from me! :D
