First of all, a big THANK YOU goes out to yuen for taking the bother to send me back home today. I know that I can be a big bother sometimes, so I feel very much blessed to have a gang of close friends who will sometimes go the extra mile for me, despite all the bullying =P
Spent my afternoon at TTDI today afta havin a late lunch at Hartamas Shopping Ctr. By the way, just for those paddington house of pancakes fans out there, the paddington house of pancakes in hartamas shoppin ctr is offerin 30% off its menu provided you order a main dish. And the offer's till tomorrow. :)
TP, Yuen and PK were working on their phy project, which i think isn't bad at all. Quite interesting =) the calculations could be a bit of a headache, though, but I enjoyed cuttin the balsa wood =D Well, good luck to them. =)

One fine day a flock of Influenza virus hovered around Taylor's College looking for a victim to infect and spotted Phoebe and thought: aha this gal hit a blue-green insect and made it curl up dat day..she shall be the next victim..muahaha. And so these microscopic viruses invaded her system, easily going through her body's non-specific immune response.But. Got caught up in her specific immune response :D
As her body detected the presence of pathogens, macrophages(Antigen Presenting Cells, APC) then ingested these bacteria, cutting them up into small small pieces and presented them on their cell surface membranes in grooves within MHC proteins via the antigen presentation process. Inside lymph nodes, APC cells then joined with T-helper and B cells, before selecting a particular T helper cell or B cell which has antibody receptors specific for the antigen. This process is called clonal selection. Selected B and T helper cells then divide themselves to form clones, and the clones of the T helper cells then secreted cytokine to stimulate the selected B cells to differentiate into B-plasma and memory cells =D
B plasma cells then secreted antibodies into the blood and lymph and coated the influenza virus, marking them for phagocytosis by neutrophils or macrophages. " NO!!" shouted the influenza virus, " we will not be defeated! We will multiply more *snigger*" And with the help of excess SULPHUR a.k.a rotten egg smell, the influenza virus became stronger...And Phoebe's body is currently producing more B- plasma and memory cells to combat these wild buggers.
Victory will be hers, in a few day's time.

Professional Development Day = Holiday =:P
One-day holiday today! :) Thank goodness for the holiday...and i went to HELP around 1sth afta photostating sum bio past year ques and having kuey teow and dim sum at Ming's Palace in BSC with dad and grandma.
Dad dropped me off at Wisma Help and i paid a visit to the HELP library which contains a wide selection of mainly....law, accounting, socio books. Flipped through Biological Science for a while...before meeting up with Kang, Jin Soon, Zi, Sher, Tat Wei...miss them so much lar.
After that went to one u to watch The Island!! =) Rather interesting and thought-provoking movie, like, it gives u a glimpse of what might happen if cloning were allowed to supply organs to those who can afford it. Lots of car chases, and bashing ups of really really expensive cars...All in all, a 2hr plus movie worth watching =)
Circles. circles circles circles =)

Contact lenses!!!!
Whoo hoo first time putting on contact lenses =D
A softlens comfort bus stopped by in taylors these 2 days to promote their contact lenses by giving out free trial lenses, and so afta skul yest where i had a lot of time to kill i went to try it on =D
I spent a total of 45 min trying to put those two lenses into my eye :P first time user ma =P I went with yinn cher and soo han, soo han did it pretty quick in 20 min, whereas yinn cher and i sat there lukin at the mirror poking our eyes for 45 min :P
It was quite a triumphant moment when we got it in both eyes =P haha.
For me it was quite ok...i din feel uncomfy or anyth..perhaps i mite start using contact lenses instead of walking around without specs and squinting at faraway objects =D

YAY!!!! =D =D so happy...i can visit places..muahaha =D Missing so many ppl la...the HELP friends....kang...:P hehe.:) Afta class went library did headaching trigo ques and when i was browsing the book shelves for chem books, suddenly this guy comes up.
GUY : Er...can i ask you sth
Me: er..yea...go ahead..
Guy: er...is ure name..julian (or sth dat sounds like that)
Me: er..hehe..nope =)
Guy: oh...er sorry sorry..i have a friend who looks EXACTLY like you

Funny quotes from Insurance Claims
Go on, have a laugh =)
http://www.businessballs.com/insuranceclaims.htm

Realisation of the day:
WHEN ICE MELTS THE WATER LEVEL DOESNT CHANGE!!!!!! OMG!!!!!
Darn it. I always thought the water level will rise.......=P Gah. Gah. =P
EXPLANATION :
Floating Ice that Melts Doesn't Raise the Sea Level
Why doesn't floating ice that melts increase the sea level? By definition, anything that floats displaces its own weight in water. In other words, if the floating ice melts, the resulting water would be exactly equal to the amount of water displaced while the ice was floating. The sea level, therefore, already includes the total amount of water in all floating ice.
You can easily verify this in your own kitchen, just make a glass of ice water (to my fellow Americans with our love of ice: be sure none of the ice is grounded on the bottom of the glass!), mark the water level in the glass, then go node for a while until all the ice melts. The water level will not have changed.
And why does the sea level increases during global warming? Coz its the ICE CAPS that arent floating in d water that melts, that's why!!!!=P

Ties that bind.
Have you ever had someone close to you that you can never get him/her outta your life hurt you so badly that you build a wall up between yourself and dat fella, and after a few years, you think he/she's changed, and you knock off a few pieces of bricks and are ready to forgive he/she, only to find out that he/she is still the same and hasnt changed at all, and only to get hurt all over again. And you realize that it's goin to stay this way, and its up to you to accept it or continue with the wall thing. *shrugs*

Personality test =P
Got this thingy from ZH's blog =P
Take Free Advanced Global Personality Test
personality tests by similarminds.com
Stability results were moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.
Orderliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately organized, hard working, and reliable while still remaining flexible, efficient, and fun.
Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive.
Accuracy of this thing? I dunno =)

Started with going to Ying's afta school on Friday for overnight, a super full-of-sports- activities Saturday, and a ...rather memorable Sunday, ending with a wonderful dinner at Ying's and tennis after. A day of firsts, like, I touched the tennis racquet for the first time!! =D I played tennis for the first time =D I can now serve the ball =P And hit the tennis ball. *applause* =P
What i did not expect was Harold's sweet post =P I too have many people in my life that I will never forget, that have played a significant role in my life, who have shared my ups and downs, pointed out my faults and on the whole made me a better person =) The list of people is so long, mainly, Ying, Harold, Kang, PK, TP, Sing Ping, Jin Soon, Jia Xin, Joel, Allan, Zhou Hau, Chang Jin, Chris, Jess, Josh, Hui Lynn, David, AND....the list goes on =) Some of them I might have fallen out of touch with, but yea. These ppl i will nv forget =)
