is it so easy to give up? seriously i think people who are not perservering are definitely not suited to do research. Just when you face many possible errors in your results you would advise to stop the research and adopt a whole new way of doing it all over again, without even trying to solve the problems? what is it with this 'give up halfway' attitude?if that is the attitude one has in life, the person will neva succeed.
To me research is venturing unfamiliar grounds, its all about trail-blazing..it is expected that we do not know how we are going to get to somewhere but we just follow by faith and with perserverance and luck, we get there!even in times when we do not get there, i always believe that we will discover new routes to other places. Even if we get lost, we will leave behind traces such that others do not follow our footsteps. Obstacles are so expected in research and the joy comes from being able to overcome it, and overcome the situation. Don't you think the more obstacles there are throughout the journey, the more we will be able to appreciate the fruit of hard labour?This is my passion for research.
i agree that some people are just lucky. beginner's luck or whatever luck you can call it. some are just able to make discovery by mistake and sheer luck. BUT has anyone thought of the hard work put in behind this whole thing?you may question if there is. but if you think hard enough, the researcher would definitely have worked very hard trying to get to destination A, but through all the failed attempts and wrong routes taken, he discovers a new destination B! yes, he did not put in effort in trying to discover destination B and it was by sheer luck that he did. This is because he was only focusing on destination A. despite discovering B, he still has yet to get the A! it is still a setback in the discovery of A. but like what i mentioned previously, sometimes along the way, we do find new routes to new places, be it through luck or anything out of our control. Finding B is a little side-tracked reward for going on the journey of uncertainty, obstacles and rough terrains.
knowing that i am such a pathetic risk taker, research is probably the most high risk level thing i have ever done in my life.

OPI colour
am finally buying the super covetted OPI nail colours online! have been talking about buying online since donkey years ago and now thanks to Yiming, who 'jio' me for the spree, i'm getting my own 4 bottles of OPI nail polish!! *love*
but here comes the bad part.. having to buy something which u have neva seen before..and having different websites showing different shades of colour when its SUPPOSED to be the same colour, doesnt help at all! wonder if its the setting of my com..but colours look so different!one moment its pink, the next website shows that it has more of a reddish tone! its so hard to decide.. guess it the 'price to pay' for getting reali cheap OPI colours.. sometimes reali wonder if i could live with such uncertainty.. i guess some might find it exciting, thus addicted to shopping online.. but really think Princess is not one person who can take risks.. even in this small, tiny, minute extent.. yes, its cheap for OPI but its still freaking $7-10 a bottle! its kinda ex as compared to lets say sally hansen?haha..and very ex as compared to Face shop, etc.. but well i really don't know how good OPI is.. only my manucurist knows.. cos she paints them on my fingers and toes..the only time i used OPI myself was my friend's bottle which was near to drying up! so noo good experience there..hee.. :P
was surfing cozycot trying to look for more reliable 'real life' photos of the polishes and got super inspired to do nail art..haha.. cos many people upload their 'work of art' to the forum for people to comment..sounds more like waiting for people to praise in my opinion..*sigh* why the need?? *shrug*

be considerate, Singaporeans!
anyway, had quite a good weekend.. went for both the fireworks display.. by spain and by china.. boy must i say china's fireworks are good.. better than spain's in my opinion.. cos spain's ending part looks like they are just trying to clear whats left of their fireworks.. and to clear them fast! they simply just shot a messy assortment of fireworks up and don't seem to be caring much for the picture composition when its up in the sky.. the thought that came to my mind was that 'whats a planet-looking-thingy doing together with changing-colour-normal round-display with self-scrambling-red ants-looking fireworks‘? doesnt it occur to them that they don't make sense and definitely don't look nice together? hmmm.. they need to consult the princess's opinion on choreography of fireworks the next time round...
but well, this is not the main point about fireworks.. the main thing why i mention this other than this being my super-no.1-top-favourite is that i got super pissed off by some singaporeans!now now, hear the princess complain... here goes! we reached the place about 30-40 mins before the start and found that the place beside the esplanade was rather crowded.. then we approached a family who were there to ask if we could place our camera stand beside them..obviously not blocking their view..and in fact over the other side of the fence which they were leaning on.. and yes, they agreed..so we were very happy and i was convinced that singaporeans were nice! then when the time comes closer to that of the fireworks display, more and more people came.. then there was this group of friends.. comprising of 2 couples if i am not wrong.. then one of the girl squeezed herself right infront of me.. she is damn tall and she planted herself right infront of me! amazing manners! so i subtly tried to push her out of my space by attempting to adjust the camera stand and stick my butt out at her..i THOUGHT she will realise that she is invading my space and blocking me, so move away and give me a little bit more space.. BUT ＮＯ！！she gave me an irritated tone as if i was the one invading her space and blocking her! i couldnt take it any longer so i purposely pushed my bag in her direction, try to stand closer to her and poorly attempting to 'chase' her off. Yes, she did move but move in the wrong direction! she moved right infront of the couple standing infront of me and boldly block them right in the face! the couple just stood there stared at each other in disbelief.
i could not take it any longer, thus the words "so inconsiderate" came out of my mouth. The BF heard it. Told her gal and she had no response. So accustomed to this 2 words eh?used ever so frequently on her i would suppose. after which the bf attempted weakly to give me a 'pai seh' smile. but still no response from her. about 10 mins later, she responded! but in a totally unexpected manner! she shouted over the 2 other frens who were standing beside me, and ask why aren't they coming over to her side! *faint* apparently her friends know the situation better.. *jumping mad* comeon, they look like they are only 18-20+ years old as the bf was sporting a super short durian-botak head. just like the recruits! so whats with the younger generations? show some respects to the old ones like me! *grrr* i thought singaporeans are supposed to be educated in Civics and moral education, No?? go back and read your textbooks and remember what your parents have taught you. Yes, Manners is what i am referring to.
i told myself to take 100 mental pictures of her and make sure i can recognise her the next time i ever see her again. And am now super sensitive to the T-shirt with the word 'newbielogy' on it. Was worn by her bf. if i ever see this t-shirt again i will definitely scrutinise the gal with the person dorning the shirt. So if u have the t-shirt, keep it at home. DO NOT EVER wear it unless you want to be glared at. alternatively, u can give it to your enemy! i'm sure u wun mind him undergoing the scrutiny and harsh looks.
be considerate, singaporeans! :)

新的最爱。。
公主有了新的最爱！！猜？是tutu王子送给公主的生日礼物！其实力公主的生日还差一个多月。。但市场上可能不再生产这一类的手机了。。（对啦。。是手机！）所以王子就先买了。。
就是它! 其实也说不出为什么这么喜欢它。。就是不停的想着它。。可能是很想拥有一个很好的相机-手机吧。。就不想老是带着相机。。其实我的相机也是迷你型的。。hehe..（好像是在找借口。。）
超喜欢它的vivid mode sms..简直和msn 一莫一样！而且超多animations!拿来拍烟花也没问题！有空时会上载所派到的照片!
so here's Princess's new phone, new love!

我要去台湾！
看了今天的《都市大发现》。。台湾真的有好多东西吃喝玩乐！一定要到小巨蛋看演唱会，在马桶餐厅吃一餐！上次到台湾去好像是6年前吧。。都不大记得玩了些什么。。嘻嘻。。好像就到了那些‘普通’的景点。。和到处吃！台湾吃透透！
今天公主的心情还不算太好。。该做的东西没做完。。还听到了一些不怎么开心的消息。。其实也没什么大不了的。。就有那么一点点不开心。。不去想也就过去了。。
小王子今天没回家。。到朋友的家住。。真好命。。像当年我考完了o水准才有机会第一次和朋友到家附近的商场溜。。时代不一样了。。不忍老都不行了哦。。

为什么？:(
为什么用ipod听radio这么难？还得买remote control??*sigh* 还一位苹果已经改善了这项‘笨笨’的 ‘条例’。。 还得在浪费钱。。。
经天一整天心情还蛮不错的。。拼了老命在读harry porter & the deathly hallows..小王子终于读完了。。所以终于轮到我了！！得快快把它读完。。因为拖得越久，就越有可能听到别人述说故事情节！公主最讨厌自己还没读完，就听到故事的结局！！完全不能忍受！！简直会疯掉！！所以要快快哦。。。
晚餐到了manhattan fish market 吃。。真怀疑他们一天能赚多少钱。。每次去都排着长长的队！！真是不可思议。。但是东西好吃。。没办法。。嘴里是念着可是脚还是不听使唤。。跑到长龙的‘尾巴’站住了。。 ;p 他们的虾真的嗜好吃到不行！*slurp*
只好还跑去换我的crocs!把celery青色换成了cotton candy 粉红。。超可爱的。。嘻嘻。。好喜欢哦。。真觉得没选错颜色。。嘻嘻。。
好了。。一整天也就这样结束了。。不管自己有没充分利用。。其实能够有时间‘浪费’人生也是一种享受吧。。

The Research in Me
is it so easy to give up? seriously i think people who are not perservering are definitely not suited to do research. Just when you face many possible errors in your results you would advise to stop the research and adopt a whole new way of doing it all over again, without even trying to solve the problems? what is it with this 'give up halfway' attitude?if that is the attitude one has in life, the person will neva succeed.
To me research is venturing unfamiliar grounds, its all about trail-blazing..it is expected that we do not know how we are going to get to somewhere but we just follow by faith and with perserverance and luck, we get there!even in times when we do not get there, i always believe that we will discover new routes to other places. Even if we get lost, we will leave behind traces such that others do not follow our footsteps. Obstacles are so expected in research and the joy comes from being able to overcome it, and overcome the situation. Don't you think the more obstacles there are throughout the journey, the more we will be able to appreciate the fruit of hard labour?This is my passion for research.

Was worn by her bf. if i ever see this t-shirt again i will definitely scrutinise the gal with the person dorning the shirt. So if u have the t-shirt, keep it at home. DO NOT EVER wear it unless you want to be glared at. alternatively, u can give it to your enemy! i'm sure u wun mind him undergoing the scrutiny and harsh looks.
be considerate, singaporeans! :)

新的最爱。。
公主有了新的最爱！！猜？是tutu王子送给公主的生日礼物！其实力公主的生日还差一个多月。。但市场上可能不再生产这一类的手机了。。（对啦。。是手机！）所以王子就先买了。。
就是它! 其实也说不出为什么这么喜欢它。。就是不停的想着它。。可能是很想拥有一个很好的相机-手机吧。。就不想老是带着相机。。其实我的相机也是迷你型的。。hehe..（好像是在找借口。。）
超喜欢它的vivid mode sms..简直和msn 一莫一样！而且超多animations!拿来拍烟花也没问题！有空时会上载所派到的照片!
so here's Princess's new phone, new love!

我要去台湾！
看了今天的《都市大发现》。。台湾真的有好多东西吃喝玩乐！一定要到小巨蛋看演唱会，在马桶餐厅吃一餐！上次到台湾去好像是6年前吧。。都不大记得玩了些什么。。嘻嘻。。好像就到了那些‘普通’的景点。。和到处吃！台湾吃透透！
今天公主的心情还不算太好。。该做的东西没做完。。还听到了一些不怎么开心的消息。。其实也没什么大不了的。。就有那么一点点不开心。。不去想也就过去了。。
小王子今天没回家。。到朋友的家住。。真好命。。像当年我考完了o水准才有机会第一次和朋友到家附近的商场溜。。时代不一样了。。不忍老都不行了哦。。

为什么？:(
为什么用ipod听radio这么难？还得买remote control??*sigh* 还一位苹果已经改善了这项‘笨笨’的 ‘条例’。。 还得在浪费钱。。。
经天一整天心情还蛮不错的。。拼了老命在读harry porter & the deathly hallows..小王子终于读完了。。所以终于轮到我了！！得快快把它读完。。因为拖得越久，就越有可能听到别人述说故事情节！公主最讨厌自己还没读完，就听到故事的结局！！完全不能忍受！！简直会疯掉！！所以要快快哦。。。
晚餐到了manhattan fish market 吃。。真怀疑他们一天能赚多少钱。。每次去都排着长长的队！！真是不可思议。。但是东西好吃。。没办法。。嘴里是念着可是脚还是不听使唤。。跑到长龙的‘尾巴’站住了。。 ;p 他们的虾真的嗜好吃到不行！*slurp*
只好还跑去换我的crocs!把celery青色换成了cotton candy 粉红。。超可爱的。。嘻嘻。。好喜欢哦。。真觉得没选错颜色。。嘻嘻。。
好了。。一整天也就这样结束了。。不管自己有没充分利用。。其实能够有时间‘浪费’人生也是一种享受吧。。

你们是谁？？
有时候真觉得好奇。。真得很想到到底是谁在看我的部落格。。一天大概有一两个人到我的blog 上。。可是我身边的朋友都好像没什么上这个网站看一看我写的东西啊。。hmm..真的好想知道。。完成公主小小的心愿好吗？就在strawberrychat 上留言就好了啊。。先谢咯！！
好久不见咯！
真是好久没上我的部落格了。。
这段时间也是好多事情发生哦。。去了一趟泰国，买了好多好多衣服！！吃了好多好多的美食。。嘻嘻。。其实去那里是为了参加conference..顺便玩了多几天。。哈哈。。
可是其中还得赶报告。。就为了PhD qualifying exam..交上了一分84页的报告。。真得快死掉了。。回到新加坡 就不停的赶着准备oral presentation..可是最开心的是我的presentation一完，就马上得到机场搭飞机到香港去游山玩水！！感觉真的好棒哦！
香港天气好热！！真的是热到没办法忍受！！37/38度真的不是普通人能忍受的哦。。真的好夸张。。人也变得好黑！！现在要不停的美白美白美白。。可是和tutu王子一起游香港真得很好玩哦！到disneyland看烟花。。海洋公园看鲨鱼。。逛夜市。。浅水湾流汗。。victoria peak 看夜景，看烟花。。（香港的夜景真的是太美太美了。。）吃臭豆腐，烧腊，港式美食。。yum yum.. 真的还有点吃不够呢。。嘻嘻。。现在想起来都还有点饿了。。好一阵子每到香港去了。。所以就从新当一下游客。。还蛮不错的。。住呢，就住在daddy的hotel..marco polo hongkong..还蛮方便的。。跟何况不用给钱。。哈哈。。太爽了。。 :p
其实一切都还蛮顺利的。。exam 也pass 了。。教授也要到美国去了。。所以也就没人‘烦’我了！哈哈。。shhh... :p
在香港还买了ipod nano! 所以现在得去研究如何操作它了！公主的新玩具。。 :)
