my gene cell prof echoed my thoughts about human beings being too complex such that it is impossible to understand someone fully. he added that relationships are too fluid and that you can't say someone is your wife until the day she lies there dead.
a morbid way of putting it, but true.
yes, i am studying DNA. and my takeaway is that....
for everything you are now, blame it on your parents!
sorry mama i'm so lazy

i am eunice i am very busy too
学生很穷
曲：周杰伦 词：me
chorus:
不用麻烦了不用麻烦了
不用麻烦不用麻烦了不用麻烦了
别再考虑，我在赶时间
在等下去我心都碎了颈项也长了
不用麻烦了不用麻烦了
门票不多给我几张让我去就好了
掌声能靠我尖叫交给我
学生很穷的
与杰伦快乐的园游会。生日快乐！

its just a ride
im excited about a course assignment. and yes, you heard it right.
i'm taking this half module called leadership practices and skills. because...
1) fulfills my credit for OBHR major
2) no exam
3) no group project
happy enough. even happier when we found out that our prof was super nice & charming. but still, leadership skills and practices still sounds like a bullshit course where u throw up leadership theories and go through some case studies of leadership.
week 2 of class, the major individual assignment was revealed to us.
it surprises and delights me because it is MEANINGFUL & i feel that it wraps up my academic life nicely. Now, what a way to describe an assignment.
its a assignment much related to self-discovery & awareness. we are supposed to get people to tell us "how we are great", and how they see us at our best. and from here, we are supposed to present a summary on what is said about us, discover our strong points and how that applies to leadership.
now, after 4 years in here. maybe only now i can manage to coerce myself into saying we are different in a positive manner.
i've always felt that its impossible to understand someone completely. you cannot even understand yourself completely. because (1) we do not usually take the time to reflect on why we do the things we do and behave the way we are, (2) our logic and behaviors are erratic merely because we are too complex a creature that we cannot strictly place ourself into nicely segregated types. we are abit of everything, full of overlaps and contradictions.
when we do take time to think through what kind of person we are, it does make u proud and scared are the same time. self discovery is like a neverending rollercoaster ride, it never ends and you feel proud and scared apeshit at the same time.
let's end this off with a parable prof mention in class (its interesting)

espresso
besides it being tiring to wake up at 6.30am and having to be in school from 8.30am to 6.45pm (with a torturous 3hr break in between), everything else is normal. final term in school so nothing should quite faze me anymore, i hope. and my profs seem normal enough.
got to know a korean exchange student today cos she was sitting right next to me in class. for some reason, im quite happy about that. i guess i've secretly wanted to have a korean friend all along. hahaha.
on a somehow related note, coffee prince is a really good show that got me laughing and good shows have been lacking for a while now. nothing beats watching a good show and having a good laugh to end your day.
p/s: i finished the show. love love love love love

beginnings
beginnings are like unsealing the cookie box. with that comes anticipation & hope of something good - until it proves otherwise, or until it turns sour. or soft.
so now we are all at the unsealing part, let us all remain hopeful. im living in the hope of going beautiful places & having a fulfilling life.
a fulfilling life, it all just boils down to that isn't it.

friends and magaritas
this is my HR clique @ Cafe Iguana - just feel very fortunate to know them & to be able to go for classes to see familiar faces. in the past, there was always apple & wz. with these people, u can share jokes, horror stories, good food, magaritas.... i know friendship has reached a certain level when i get goofy and start flaunting my muar/hongkie/thai accent & hokkien just to give them a good laugh.that's something that i appreciate because i've always felt that it is not that easy to make good friends in university that go beyond projects. i suppose, we could all say cheers to that.
desserts at riccotti was chocolately divine. and i really like cafe iguana, i guess mostly because its spanish! i was secretly happy when i realized that i understood the spanish on the menu and the toilet sign.
