因为某些原因登录入N年没碰的hotmail
在一堆垃圾邮件里边我看到了好几个'平凡人的平凡事'的留言
惊讶
一个快两年没碰的部落格竟然还有人看
看了下好友链接，十之八九跟我一样，时间都停在一两年前
好像大家好有默契的说好都不写了
是工作了，让我们忙盲茫到没时间写
还是工作的一成不变不值得多作记录
每天下班登录脸书，读些时事新闻，看些搞笑的幽默的
再不然看视频，听音乐
我看你po的，like一下
你看他po的，share一下
不变的生活每天不断重复
有时一个很久很久的po还会不知怎么样又被人挖出来，然后大家又来新一轮的like和share
酱会不会让我们变成像鱼缸里的金鱼
每天吃自己的大便水
明明水越拉越脏，应越吃越恶
却中毒越来越深，还乐在其中
呵呵我想太多了吧
没事
就想写些东西
2013年的最后一个月
好想快点毕业
好想干点让我有冲劲的事
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
原来，I just need a few good blog posts to keep the traffic coming.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
金鱼吃大便水的比喻好像是别人写的。or maybe not
反正我脑子就是比较容易记住幽默恶心的东西
有人知道原文出处还请告诉我

It has gone a long way
From 3 major EW, NS & NE Lines serving the little-red-dotians for years...
Comes the not-so-circle Circle Line, the long-awaited new MRT.
Hopefully this will ease the pressure on Raffles City & City Hall
station in transporting people during peak hours. And most importantly, I
hope won't have to spend 1 hour plus to get to work everyday from now
onwards.
And more MRT are coming our way, with Downtown line underway
MRT line in the near future
Speculated MRT line in the not-so-near future.
Can't imagine the face of those tourists when they first see this.

Upgrade Completed - The Sims Style
Say Bye-bye to the super cramped coffee table
Say Hello to a proper desk with shelf
Say Bye-bye to the little wardrobe
Say Hello to the gigantic (by my standard) built-in wardrobe
btw, that's all the clothes I have.
Say Bye-bye to sleeping on a tilam on the floor
Say Hello to a queen-size bed with storage bed-frame
After weeks of painting & tidying, I finally move into my new home.
But the living room is still empty though.
Need some time for my wallet to recover 1st. =)

Fire Drill that Left Me Speechless
The draggy start...
The chaotic distribution of lab nameboard...
The sub-standard SCDF who can't find the mock casualties...
还有消防演习...可不可以不要找个口音重的印X人来报告重要事物... 听不懂叻...
I was expecting something from the fancy e-mail of 'real smoke, as realistic as possible, etc'.
lol. maybe I was expecting too much.

An llustrated Guide to a Ph.D.
A few pictures say it all
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge:
By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little:
By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:
With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty:
A master's degree deepens that specialty:
Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge:
Once you're at the boundary, you focus:
You push at the boundary for a few years:
Until one day, the boundary gives way:
And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.:
Of course, the world looks different to you now:
So, don't forget the bigger picture:
Keep pushing.

Crazy Timetable...
Taking this module, BL 5221 PLANT AND MICROBIAL DEVELOPMENT, now.
At first glance at the schedule given, it seems ok. The usual NUS style 2 lectures per week.
But upon putting them into the calendar.
OMG! That's 3 lectures per week, with exam almost every fortnight, covering topics by 11 lecturers in just exactly 1.5 month.
Super crash course... Win....
