What a weekend??!! I didn't go to school on thursday and friday. I don't regret it at all because I've done a lot of revision in this short span of time. Short, yet productive. I've managed to realise my weakpoints in Math and Chem. Just Bio and Phy to go. I'll finish them this week. And the week before prelims will be dedicated to turning my weakpoints into strengths. Nayway, i'm not that worried about my end results for prelims. I just want to do my best. My aim in this prelims is to learn my weakpoints and strengths. And most importantly, to recognise whatever mistakes I will make. And so, during A'levels, I can be very...

some word puns:)
As the days near by for the prelims, I feel more and more nervous. Today, I thought a lot about the choice of course in Uni, and it gets more and more difficult each day. I want to go into research. I like Biology and chemistry very much. I don't mind doing math, but i don't want physics. Eventhough, engineering is a professional degree, I don't have much interest in it.And eventhough life sciences in NUS is a general degree, I like it a lot. What's wrong in following a general degree? I don't see anything wrong. I want to take Life sciences, and specialise into two areas at least, then do honours and at last pave the way...

Bad parenting much??
Raising a child can be very difficult. We sometimes forget that children need to learn how to become adults from us and that they are not little adults. We have to teach them. In my opinion, there are certain characteristics a "good" parent should have. I also think that this applies to elder sisters and brothers and how they treat their younger siblings... The information below is taken from a website about the characteristics of a good parent. I think that all the below point are absolutely true.A good listener:As parents, we sometimes are quick to judge our child's actions or choice of words, that we do not hear their...

Couvade Syndrome
There are lots of people in this world, especially kids, who just refuse to eat vegetables and fruits. Even I myself refused to eat onions, carrots, brinjal and other green vegetables when I was young. But I notice that now I eat these vegies with no complain whatsoever at all. Amazing, isn't it? How our taste buds become accomodated to various kinds of tastes?While kalpana, kasturi and me were talking while walking towards the mrt station, we were discussing about how the man's and the woman's bodies detect each ohers' signals during pregnancy. Men also experience all the symptoms of the pregnancy (weight gain, morning sickness,...

prelims...mmm
Oh my God!! What the heck lah? I tried to correct and make my new layout perfect. But I could not and it still looked ugly. The sidebar contents were arranged chaotically and i didn't know what to do. I messaged Ken and asked him for help. But anyway, i changed my blog to the original one, which looks way decent and nice. Anyway >Ken, thanks for offering to help. I like your blog, very nice. How do you add those things like "I'm waiting..." and About Me stuff??The coming weeks are slowly starting to look occupied and busy. The pace is starting to pick up speed. Exams look really close. My revision is quite bad right now....

agape, eros and philia...
Greek philosophers have traditionally distinguished 3 notions that can properly called love: agape, eros, and philia. Agape is a kind of love that does not respond to the antecedent value of its object but instead is thought to create value in the beloved. Like the love that God shows on us, and that we show for God and humankind in general. By contrast, eros and philia are responsive to the merits of their objects, i.e. to the beloved's properties like his goodness or beauty. While eros is a kind of passionate desire for an object, typically sexual in nature, philia is a kind of affectionate regard or friendly feeling towards...

Friendship will survive...
I was really happy yesterday to receive an email from my friend Sriram. He was one of my best friends in Bangalore. The others were Rekha and Srikanth. I wonder how they are.Remember the previous post, in which I begged God to let me have a friend who would make me forget the one person? I believe that Sriram is that friend that God has sent me. I'm really glad that at last God has answered my prayers.I have for long put away the discussion about the parting of our friendship with Nive. And now I have found the heart to discuss it in my blog. My firstreaction was denial. But now I have faced the reality.Let me tell to everyone...

Listen to this, while i was browsing through some news, I saw this. Read it. Fascinating, isn't it?Russian city of twins continues to puzzle scientistsIn 2004 there’s been a real “twin boom” in the Russian town of Kirov and scientists still have no idea as to how to approach the matter.Nowadays, the department's laboratory is conducting various experiments to study the effects on bio and electromagnetic fields on the natural process of cell division during meiosis. Scientists use lab rats in their experiments due to some of their similarities to the human organism. Although this is still an ongoing research, one thing has...

The FIFA World Cup...it's a disaster!!
Why why why??? With England and Brazil lost, where is this world cup going? The spice and suspense is gone. It is very clear and obvious that Germany will win. Just because the World Cup is held in Germany doesn't mean that Germany should win the World Cup. Why?It was clear from the beginning. During the Argentina vs Germany match, the referees gave yellow cards to Argentinians, whereas the Germanians (is this the right term?) were just given warnings. What, was that fair??!!!And second, winning a match in penalty shoot outs is such a dumb way to assess a team's skills. It all depends on the skills of the goalkeeper. I can...

mmm...
I really don't know what to blog right now. But the irony of this statement is that, I do really know what i want to express in this blog. I just...oh don't know. I'm doing stupid things each day. For one thing, i'm talking a lot to myself. That's not normal. I'm talking in my sleep.It's all because of one person. It started last year and ended last year. I thought it was finished. But its started again. And i don't want to go through that again. It will then be difficult at the end of this year when i won't be seeing that person again forever:(Why is this happening to me? I would just be very happy if someone comes out of...
