YAY!!! The holidays are here!! =)

Had a fun weekend so far, celebrating Mr. Hao's birthday and hanging out with Van and Jess~ Obviously overspending and running out of money~ XD

1 Mid semester test on the Tuesday back to uni, then 2 assignments to hand in during the first two weeks of May, gotta start some actual researching soon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Other news:

Received a Letter of Commendation from the Faculty of Science for last semester's GPA of 6.5 overall~
Told parents, Dad said "Good, strive harder and get better results next semester!", Mum said "Top 20% (of the faculty) very high meh?! You should get GPA 7 overall since you said it was easy peasy!"
My reaction as follows:

Then continued saying that I should go find out which part of the 20% I am in or specifically my place compared to other students....
My reaction as follows:

Yes...DAFUQ?~ (Okay, no more memes) Like seriously?! Why do I need to even know that?! You think the University is really going to put together a list telling you who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd.........Xth place?! Even if they did, I am not remotely interested!

Don't get me wrong, I love my parents, it's just the whole "You should get a perfect GPA since you said it was easy" and "Go find out your exact place in the whole uni" that's annoying me. Can't you just be happy that I did well, after like almost 3 years of doing horribly in Vet Science.

When I failed stuff in Vet science, I didn't get told off or anything just nagged at to study harder etc, so why is it that when I do well in Vet Tech, I don't get congratulations?! =.=" Parents~~(Rolls eyes and shakes head)

Seriously?! Now I know why everyone in Singapore is so freaking competitive over every single little subject/test. Random classmate A:"Hey, so what did you get for the test?!", Me thinks:"Why the fuck do you care?"

Blah....Then Dad goes on talking about me going back to Vet Science after finishing Vet Technology, which kind of annoyed me further cause right now, I honestly do not want to go back there. Running away, giving up on my dreams...Call it whatever you want, but it's not even an option to go down that path again.

It's like what, 50K/year for tuition fees alone...Dad said to get PR before going back to Vet Science then the fees would be waaaaay cheaper. Really? So easy to get PR huh...~

Arrgh...Yes, I still love my parents.

Been surfing Pinterest ever since I discovered it...(about 2 days ago, yes I know I am slow and outdated). If you don't know what Pinterest is, check it out!

Pinterest is full of ideas, it is basically pinning things that interest you onto the boards hosted on the site. I haven't been able to join it yet cause it's "Invitation Only" so either you get someone who's already in it to invite you or you enter your email into the "Request Invitation" box and cross your fingers that an invitation arrives soon!

I found out a lot of websites through it where I learnt a couple of tips and tricks for the homemaker, which I will be posting up today, with a couple of pictures and links!

1) Flexible vacuum: To vacuum in those tight spaces such as under your fridge without moving the fridge, fit an empty paper towel roll on the hose end of your vacuum, the other end of the cardboard can be bent and flattened for those awkward spaces!

2) The power of baking soda: Multiple uses for baking soda, everything from whitening clothes, getting rid of tough stains on cookware, getting rid of soap scum deodorizing to whitening teeth and soothing insect bites!

3) Tired of taking apart your blender to clean it after every use? Add a little dish soap, fill it with water and turn it on for a few seconds. Empty out your soapy water and rinse. Voila, all clean!

4) How to properly fold fitted sheets on Marthastewart.com (Click here for link to step-by-step):


5) Keeping marshmallows in a container with brown sugar (Original post: HERE ), helps to prevent the brown sugar from hardening!


6) Clean your mattress! (Original post: HERE) with baking soda too!

7) Coffee Filters are good for cleaning too! They are lint-free and soaks up oil well making them great for cleaning glass items (gonna use it for my car windscreen and windows~). Filtering other liquids like oil for reusing or if you happen to drop pieces of cork into wine.

-----------------------------------------------------

On another note...My bed frame almost fell apart!!!!! The solid wood bed frame started squeaking last year (yes, due to the increasing weight on top of it =P), and today I noticed that the end board made from 3 pieces of wood (2 vertical ones on the ends and a large, horizontal on between them) was separating at the joints!

Took the bed apart and found that one of the side rails had a crack down 1/3 of it's length and that the dowels in the joints were loose....Well, luckily I had some "Liquid Nails" super strength adhesive that claims to hold just about anything together and for filling cracks.

So I went through the process of gluing in the dowels into their holes and fixing up the end board and turning it on its end to help the glue set right. Put some into the crack so hopefully that doesn't fall apart. Gonna put it back after the weekend since I am staying at Phoenix's anyway, if it still doesn't work then it's off to Ikea for the MALM or NYVOLL bed frames!


Alright, it's getting late! Toodles~

Post No: #945

It's been eons since I did a proper post. Well, I guess the content in this post isn't really something that I would often write anywhere but I just need to get something off my mind and where better to do it than here?

So as everyone already knows, I have made the transition from Veterinary Science back into Veterinary Technology so obviously this would seriously affect my future.

Say if I continued living in Australia after graduation then career prospects are pretty good and I can continue to educate myself with Diplomas and certs/workshops so that I can specialize in a certain area for example Dental assistant, Emergency and Critical Care, Anesthesia Technician, Radiology Technician etc. I could potentially earn quite a good income working as a Tech.

So what am I worried about? Well, first of all, Veterinary Technician/Nurse/Assistant are not in the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for Skilled Migrants, and I seriously doubt that it would be on the list anytime soon as there isn't a lack of Vet Nurses seeking work in Australia.

Some late night mulling and searching on the Immigration website turned up the only way I would be able to work in Australia, and it's not a permanent solution. The Business (Long Stay) Visa is my only method of remaining in Australia, but I would have to find an employer that's willing to sponsor me (at AUD$49, 330 per annum) and honestly the odds don't seem that great because current Vet Nurses/Techs don't really earn that much.

Then you might say "Just come back to Singapore and work here!"

Well, prospects aren't good;
1) Veterinary nurses/technicians in Singapore don't really earn much. Most job offers require you to state an "Expected Salary" and I have no idea what the average salary for Vet Techs are here. Though I did see a job opening offering between $1200-$1800 depending on experience, which is too darn low.
If anyone has any idea regarding market rates please help me out, the only information I have is off the TP website for the Dip. in Vet Tech which says that avg income for graduates = ~$1700.

2) The number of job opportunities are really low.
3) There are limited opportunities for further education/training.

Now that you know what I am worried about, I can continue with the rest of the story.

The only occupation that is directly related to working with animals in the SOL is a Veterinarian, and I honestly don't want to go back there. It would be stupid and I can't really tell my mum "Hey, I wanna go back to Vet Sci! Can I get almost $50,000 per year for another 4 years?" 0.o"

So to increase my chances of being employed in Aus under the Business Long Term visa, I need to be able to specialize in a certain area of Vet Nursing but to study the Diplomas I have to be employed by a clinic, and to be employed by a Clinic I need to hold the visa first, so that's a stupid cycle right there.

So considering other areas of animal studies I am interested in; Animal Nutrition, Genetics, Animal Behaviour and Welfare etc....I can aim to get a Master degree in one of those but again, it's not in the SOL and job opportunities seem to dwindle the more specialized the degree.

Am having a huge headache over all of this. Arrgh~

Passion by *MichelleRamey on deviantART

Hmm...Just a little rant in the middle of the night

I seem to have lost my passion for working with animals. Maybe it's the whole "Let's cut up a dead dog (obtained ethically, surrendered voluntarily by owners to the university with full consent of what we are doing to them - more about this later) for prac today and we can see how the muscles/digestive system/nervous system/cardiovascular system works!" in Vet School which equates to not much interaction with live animals.

Now whenever we have practical sessions with live animal handling, especially dogs, all I think of is "I wonder if I will see this dog in the fridge next".

Or maybe it's the whole issue with Vet School trying to push us all into large animal practice, such as cattle, sheep, horses and so on. I mean, like 70% of whatever we are learning is catered towards large animals! I can take 50%, but 70% is kinda too much! We are learning about pastures, then nutrition which focuses more on large ruminants than any other animal.

Just cause Queensland has more small animal practices than large animal practices doesn't mean we all have to be pushed towards the demand market. Honestly, I am not into large animals at all. Seriously. Horses? They are okay. Cattle? Hmm. Sheep? Bah~

Why can't we get to choose what we want to study!? Like maybe we can do 2 years of general stuff, then for the next 3 years, focus more on the area we want to, be it exotics, avian, small animal or large animal! Wouldn't it make more sense to produce vets that are well trained in their individual areas rather than have a bunch of jack of all trades (or animals in this case), master of none vets?

Wouldn't clients want a vet whom is well trained in his/her area and don't know much about other types of animals than one that is mediocre in all areas?

It's called Veterinary Science, not Production Animal Medicine Science for a reason right?!

I wanted to study this cause I like the company of animals and it would feel good if I can make them better when they are sick, especially since they can't tell you what's wrong. But nowadays, all I can think of is how I am gonna tell future clients that I don't know shit about what I am doing or what's wrong with their pet! I am probably just plain stupid or something.

I don't know...I just can't seem to hold on any more. I am actually demoralised.


A Question Of Ethics. by ~nexxxxxx on deviantART

Anyways, regarding the whole ethically sourced animals. I don't get why the vet school isn't allowed to take abandoned/unwanted animals from pounds anymore because it's deemed as animal cruelty or unethical. The animal is going to be put down anyway, so might as well let vet students learn as much as they can rather than just incinerate it?

Don't get me wrong. If the animals were put down just for our learning's sake, that would be very wrong indeed. But if the owners wanted them put down at whatever cost/reason, or if they were unwanted and had to be put down cause they are vicious or cause they are too old etc. then I don't see the problem in letting the vet students have them and learn more about them.

Previously the school could source dogs from pounds and places like that, but then animal welfare groups stepped in and we aren't allowed to do it anymore. Apparently the universities in other states can do it. OH, and it's just dogs and horses, no one cares about us using pigs or cattle or sheep cause they are production animals? If you are a really animal welfare supporter you should treat all of them equally, not just support the ones you like!

Arrgh...This whole thing is getting to me. Gonna go!

how to fight loneliness by *hotburrito2 on deviantART

*Photo: A single person bobbing in the vast ocean*

So...How do you fight loneliness?

Sick of my current life
Or the lack of it.

Sick of being ignored and alone,
to the extent of being amazingly happy when someone just talks to me,
even if it's just for a second.

It's almost my 900th post!!! Time to celebrate!
Sick of feeling negative,
demoralised,
lonely,
sad...

The poolside's my friend.
It's peaceful there...


Life is beautiful?

I hate it when people say stuff like "OH, never ask me!" then when I ask them they go "Eee, I say then you ask..." and keep saying that without answering the question. SO FRIGGING ANNOYING. Then they will go "Too bad~ I have plans/functions/meetings/parties/herpes that day already" THEN YOU ASK ME TO ASK YOU FOR WHAT?! 21664137133613

Taking a small break from studying muscle groups and decided to read some essays on Yahoo Taiwan's Knowledge+ section. =]

I find this one pretty good. Do have a read if you understand chinese~

給在戀愛中及想戀愛的男女。。。

女生的心很脆弱~~~
常因為你的小體貼而感動,如果你一直對我好 我可能就會喜歡你

女生的感情很豐富~~~
喜歡你的我,會毫不保留的付出,天真的認為有天你就會懂

女生的心很容易受傷~~~
所以我不輕易說出口~~~假如期望落空了,傷心難過很不好受

女生的心很倔強 ~~~
總希望你先說,如果你也猶豫不決...
或許我們就這樣錯過...再來後悔為何當初不說......

男生的心很脆弱~~~
常常因為妳的小動作而心碎,如果妳一直若即若離,我怎麼敢喜歡妳

男生的心思很細密~~~
喜歡妳的我,會不計一切的付出,單純的以為你會懂得珍惜

男生的愛很不容易說出口~~~
因為一旦說出口,或許再也沒有或許了,彼此悲傷見面真的很不好受

男生的心很懦弱~~~
總怕傷心而緊閉雙唇,或許一打開雙唇盡吐心語後
就會後悔當初為何不乖乖沉靜在那片刻的幸福中.....


人的一輩子只能愛上一個人
或是,只能被一個人愛上,你想過嗎?
你想要選擇哪一種?
我曾經對這個問題很迷惘?
畢竟,人的一輩子真的只能愛上一個人嗎?

就算是真的,那所謂的被愛是幸福,愛人是痛苦。
是否就已經為這個問題作出解答了呢?

有時候,真的會很感嘆,覺得真情不在........
有時候,甚至會懷疑自己付出的到底是不是真情?
或許自己正虛偽戴上面具,
彷彿這就是自己似的……自己

其實,人一輩子,就只能愛上一個人了 .....
或許你覺得不可思議......
但沒有人能把心分做很多部分
一顆心怎麼分成兩半..
或是更多...
那樣會讓心受傷的..
要不,那就不是他的~『真心』

在愛上他之後
發覺全心的愛是真正偉大的
你可以終其一生,都是為了他
你可以不吃不睡,只是為了見到他笑的樣子....
你可以不眠不休,只是為了聽到他的聲音....
你可以為他付出一切,無怨無悔........
這就是你的愛
真實的愛,確切的愛,不凡的愛,
刻骨銘心的愛 .......
用你唯一的真心--付出一切的愛......

如果說
人的一輩子只能愛上一個人
或是,只能被一個人愛上
我要選擇去愛上一個人

畢竟
在美麗與激情過後,
就算只是一個無言的結局

畢竟
我曾經愛過.....
我還留有許多珍貴且美好的回憶
和我全心真心付出的證據

看到一個深愛著你的人為你而改變
因為愛你,他收起他的頑固脾氣
因為愛你,他對別人都以感謝的心
因為愛你,他把你的興趣也變成是他的興趣

喜歡一個人是沒有原因的
他無悔的付出,都認為是值得的,只要能和相愛的人在一起...

其實我們的身邊都有一些這樣的人,只是我們還沒發現...
最懂你的人,總是會一直的在你身邊守護你,不讓你有一絲的委屈...
真正愛你的人,不會說許多愛你的話卻會做許多愛你的事...
如果你身邊有這樣的人的話,請你好好珍惜...........

And once again insomnia strikes...
Missing sleep isn't the best thing ever when you have a 4 hour long horsey dissection prac the next morning
I know my brain's gonna be mush

I miss the sweet sweet dreams I used to have
The long long chats with friends, where we chat till dawn and then both fall asleep when neither could sleep the night before
The phone calls, where though not much is said, feels good just to know someone's around, that someone cares; silence that doesn't mean that there's nothing to say, but that it need not be spoken to be known or acknowledged

Thoughts invade my sleep
Emotions stir
Stomach grumbles
And here I am, up again, blogging and munching on 1/6 block of a chocolate
Hugging my tiger plushie
Missing the people, the dreams, the company

Eyes hot,
Tears drop.
Arm hurts,
Something else hurts more
Yearning for something that's non-existent

Time to go to bed darling

Not my usual writing style I know
But this is how I feel like expressing myself tonight.

Wow, it's Joe's 21st birthday!
Doesn't concern me...

no, i am not annoyed, merely extremely pissed off that's all. he shouldn't have came home...
-----------------------------------------------------

Hans says, I should just hang out with good friends (i.e Fatt, Hao, Jess...) more
It does help...
But I can't just go running to them every time I feel alone now can I? XD

And sometimes
Even if I am surrounded by people, I still feel like I am alone

Is it so hard to find someone you can talk to about everything and random things,
Someone that will never make you feel like you are alone or non-existant,
Someone that can make you laugh whole heartedly, smile deep down from your heart,
Someone that, no matter how busy will make time for you,
Someone who never makes you feel awkward or like a burden,
Someone that never makes you think you are wasting their time,
Someone whom you just know is gonna be there even when silent or away.

It isn't, I just chose not to stay...

Where are you when you are needed?!
JEEZ~

Why must you always piss me off at the end of the day?
Then pretend nothing happened at all the next day.
Not a word about it at all. And act like the nice person I know you are not.

You said you wanted to go buy something to eat cause you were bored.
Fine, I shall eat with you even when I am full.
3/4 way through the movie you went "你不要看的話可以出去啊!"
(Translate: "If you don't wanna watch you can go out")
WTF was that about? I didn't do anything! I didn't even yawn or anything!
What could I have said? So I kept quiet anyway...
Don't wanna fight with you again...
Should have just continued ignoring you tonight.

Maybe other people might not think there's anything wrong.
The problem doesn't lie with what you said,
It lies with the tone of voice you said it in.
When will you learn to actually communicate with people?

It's not gonna help your problems,
it's only gonna jeopardise your health.

Going overboard with drinking isn't enough?
You gotta add SMOKING to it? Even if it's just that 2 or 3 sticks a year...

Seriously, I think you are just seeking attention.
But then, my views don't matter, cause,
I am nobody, I am just your "housemate",
and apparently, 我們一點都不熟...isn't it?

I guess, I am just dissapointed. (and obviously worried)
Not that you would care

Well, it's prolly a good thing,
cause, I am just gonna like you less and less...
Which is good for my health and my finance...

--------------------------------------------------------------

I am always here to listen, it's just...
Nobody wants to tell anything.

Wrote something...

Doesn't really mean anything, just popped outta nowhere...

Add a tune to it! XD

如果我現在說
如果你真的愛我
請你放我走

如果我對你說
我不想牽這你的手
一起一直走到最後
你會怎麼做

我不是真的愛你
我們不可能在一起
不能繼續愛下去
還欠你一句對不起
不是故意傷害你
只是逼不得已

我真的懷疑
大家都不贊同的愛情
可不可能走到低
會不會早期放棄

Came up with this random crap on my own...So yup...=.=" It's kinda lame. XD

Joe's a Pig...


He's supposed to help me pack and move my stuff, yet, all he is doing now is:
Lying down on my sofa, sleeping and snoring (albeit softly) while looking like he is munching something at times.

AND IT'S ONLY 9.30pm!!!

Idiot Pig~

------------

BUT, then again, maybe he's tired from that hour's drive down from Brisbane to Gatton. So I forgive him.

But he's still a pig:

Something to do while bored:

1) Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
2) Turn to page 38
3) Find the fifth sentence.
4) Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your wall-FB-/blog. Include the title of book and author.

First of all, good luck to Yang Hao and Joe who are having their last papers today!! I have no idea who else is having exams today, but if you are one of them, good luck to you too!

Anyways, before I go to bed, I just wanna post something:

I have made a new blogskin (yet again!), and here's the screenshot!


Well, it's a navigation type skin (meaning you click on the 'wheels') to get to each part (profile, links, blog) of the blog...I kinda like it, spent almost 2-3 hours on it including coding. 0.o", so if you like it, just go and comment or download it for fun or something. LINK here: Burst Of Colors.


Wells, time to sleep! Tell me whatcha think of the skin ya?

Short post before heading to sleep. There's seriously nothing much to update...

What I have done all this time:

1) Read 2 books by Tess Gerritsen; Body Double and The Mephisto Club, both within 24 hours, so you know how good they are. XD, Gerritsen is slowly becoming one of my favourite authors! Love the details that she goes into while describing how the victim's body is undergoing autopsy, which helps my rather vivid imagination that pops up whenever I am reading so I feel like I am in the room with them. Loves how she has a few so-called red herrings in the story to keep you guessing who the murderer is, and how she writes about the insights of the murderer and/or victim as well.

2) Started on my Woolly Mammoth, well technically I started a little before my previous post but then proceeded to procrastinate till today. Finished up 40% of the whole assignment today, which is like 1400 words describing my animal's digestive system and how protein, carbohydrates and fats are digested in the digestive tract, and comparing my animals' mammalian respiratory system to that of an avian's respiratory system (advantages and disadvantages). Now I know why Josh took almost 4.5 days to finish his...0.o"

3) Realised that I am screwed for Chemistry, and that I have too little time to study!! =.="

4) Exam papers on the 3rd, 4th and 13th. Chemistry, Biology and Plant Utilisation respectively...I wished I had more time for chem and bio though.

5) Received my Animal Practical session booklet with a result of 6 GPA. Not happy...

6) Been watching a few dramas online; 樱野3加1 and 咏春 on hd.tudou.com. I know, I shouldn't be watching them, and I have already put them on hold till after exams. Well, at least till after Biology exam.

7) Listened to Josh rant about Plant Utilisation as we have a practical test which consists of 15 MCQ to be completed in 1 hour, and it's open book. Why is he ranting? Cause even though it's open book, we don't really have a "book" to open since it's a test on the practical sessions we had, and no one has taken down notes or actually pay attention during the tours and such. -.-"...And the tutors didn't emphasize on how important the information was, plus what they said didn't seem relevant. etc...

8) Showered without realising I just threw all my towels into the washing machine. Having to dry myself with a polo-tee is not comfortable at all. -.-"

9) Finished up most quizzes for ANIM1003 (Animal structure and function) and is left just 2 more to go before Friday.

10) Finished cooking all 2 tubs of tofu, one tub fried with some sauce drizzled over, and the other tub steamed with mince meat on top. ^.^...Love tofu! Now I am out of rice. >.>

11) Bought a blender to make curry with...

Should I drone on? I guess not.

Thanks Hao! For wadever!

Introduction

Hi! Welcome to my blog.

This is the area where I rant and rave about everything and anything going on in my life.

If you are looking for recipes, the links to each single recipe will be located before the archives, just scroll down a little.

Usually, I talk about what's been going on in my life, my cooking, or my latest buys/holiday trips.

Time to time, I will introduce new websites that I find interesting, and online shopping haunts.

I make my own blogskins, and I do submit them onto blogskins.com. You can find them HERE

Thats about it!
