User is Busy at the Moment

Term is nearly half gone, with term break coming up next week. have been really quite eventful and study has really been very hectic.

actually, i can't really say that it's HECTIC. it's sort of like a nagging feeling that you somehow know you're just delaying time for the really bad thing (exam) to happen. well, FYP is sort of like haunting my life now with my supervisor chasing my tail (it's actually a good thing). Studying has always been like this. sigh really miss my IA sem.. stressless siah...

But, still managed to steal some time for some social stuff... so here are some pics =)


Apparently, the Dead Sea Scrolls came to singapore. TBH, it's like 3 fragments and the exhibition really cost quite a bit. mainly it's cos of the venue larh. heard that it costs about 1.1 mil just to rent Arts House for a duration of 3 weeks. 1.1 MIL!!!! can get a house in bukit timah liao.


They don't really have that much scrolls (most are still left in Israel) and the rest are either Bible translations or really very old manuscripts like the one above. It's really very inspiring how people copied Bible texts last time. And for the particular example above, the fonts were sooooooo small they look like they're printed instead of copied.


Ok then move on to totally unrelated issues. TGIO was GREAT THIS YEAR!! i've never enjoyed it that much.. hahaha coz i did something really quite out of myself, as you can see from the pic. Did a tribute band to the King of Pop and the rest of the pics are all on FB.


That's me right there, grinding my sample to a mirror finish. in case you don't know, my FYP is on corrosion of stainless steel and this is one of the instance that i needed to grind and polish the surface of the steel to get a good SEM image. Actually this is one of the few times that i'm going to grind in NUS coz the rest of the time i'm attached to pulau NTU.

It's called Pulau NTU for a reason - no phone reception and takes a typical Singaporean about 1.5 hours to get there. But the equipments there are really much better (cos i'm attached to the research institute).

But well, i found out some motivation to go there since last week - nothing beats a good bowl of Sarawak Laksa at the end of a hectic day stuck up at NTU. this is one of the 2 branches which actually sells AUTHENTIC sarawak Laksa. miss it sooo much i've been having it like 3 times last week?? SHIOK!


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTSSSSSSSSS~~~~!!!!!!!!@!#$!@#%!%~~~
