Went JP to shop for nail polish and nail stickers after tutorial class.
Just now used my limited skills to paint and paste the stickers on my new 3rd aunt's nails as tomorrow, my 3rd uncle and her are going to take the wedding photos. I forgot to take photos of my creations. Maybe tomorrow since I'll be going over to IMM to look for them.
Well, this uncle is one of my closest uncle actually. He could take jokes, and is very easy-going. So I don't mind doing all these. Furthermore, I also do not know what to get for him and his new bride so I'll be his 'photographer' on the day for his wedding buffet on 20 September 2008 and on 21 September 2008 (for the signing of the marriage certificate). Anyway, I could keep my minds off all other work, etc and relax abit.

BS202 tutorial
Something creepy happened. Over the past few days, I had been doing or trying to do the BS202 tutorial. I had been tryin to figure out the microbal growth curve for bacteria growing in medium containing glucose and galactose and three other questions. I had tried to find over the internet with no luck.
Can you imagine? I could not find the answer for the question on the microbal growth curve. Had asked a few friends before tutorial but with no luck too. Textbook did not have the answer too. But... I actually have the answer in my head which I never thought it would be that way as I got that thoughts from a dream on Sunday morning just before I woke up. I thought I was too stressed that I had a 'nightmare' due to too much thinking over the question. And that turn out to be the answer. OMG! I think I 走火入魔 already. I always that stalker uncle downstairs will 走火入魔. In the end, I am the one who had 走火入魔. Next time, if this happened again, maybe I should pen down cause who knows when it would be correct again. LOL!
Anyway, today the tutorial was not taken by the Prof so not so stressed. But I realized I think too much into the questions. Out of five, I only managed to do two and a half and they are all correct. I got another half answer in my mind from the dream which I never pen down. And I think too much and complicate the other two questions.
First, something like mechanism of how environmental factors (eg pH) affect cardinal temperature. And I keep searching environmental factors in general which includes many others including pH. Thus, I could not find any answer at all. In the end, the answer given only touch on pH which meant that the (eg pH) was the focus. (-.-)'''
The second question that I missed was to design an experiment to find out the concentration of X was presence while given information that compound X was essential for microbal growth but it was toxic to humans yet presence in drinking water. So I was thinking of how to create the experiment without harming humans. Guess what... In the end, it's just a normal standard graph of no of cells vs known X concentration. The information that X is toxic was ignored now. *Fainted*

My uncle's Vietnam Bride and My delayed in resigning.
Yesterday, my third uncle brought home a vietnam bride. Heard from my mum that she's very pretty. They will be taking their wedding photos on coming Wednesday so I shall go over to maybe snapped some shots or videos of them after my class. They planned to just had a buffet dinner at their house on the 20 Sept. At first they planned on 21 Sept but my parents and I already had a wedding ceremony and dinner and we can't missed it. I am still trying to find people to work that day.
Anyway, I managed to get someone to help me on the 20 Sept and 21 Sept, I must find someone no matter what. Talking so much about quitting, why do I still need to find people. I planned to talk to my boss today but when I went to the clinic yesterday, I realized that my boss went holiday. I missed the opportunity to talk to him. So I still need to find people to help me on the 28 Sept as my last day would be delayed. Sianz... Just hope he can accept the bomb well cause no matter what, I have made up my mind. I can't sacrifice my studies anymore. I'm going beyond the maximun to work an additional one month.

I pass my piano grade 5 exam?
I just came back from my last grade 5 piano lesson just now as from next month on I am 'promoted' to grade 6 with an increase in time for another additional 15 minutes and increase in school fee too.
During the lesson, my teacher asked what I feel about my piano grade 5 exam in July 2008. I told him that I would fail. I'm not prepared and don't know what to expect especially for the aural component. He told me the results was out but not the certificates and if he did not see wrongly, I passed my exam. Just passed. The passing marks is 100 out of 150 and I just got around 105 to 109 if he did not remember wrong.
I was quite happy actually as I could quit if I passed so that I can spend less with lesser stress. But, I better not be so happy now unless I see the actual certificate which he said would most likely be out next week.
He told me that I could try to practice like 5 to 10 minutes a day even if it if on a short portion of the song and he used the analogy of moving a box of apples. He said that if always say not free (excuses), then the apples will stay where it would be. If try to move even if 1 apple a day, all th apples will eventually be moved even though the process will take much longer. I guess I shall try out. If still can't and if I really get the certificate, then I shall quit. I shall try till maybe end of this year. I shall decide again in November as I need to give a month notice to the school.
I also asked him about what are the grading system for music like. It started from a beginner then to grade 1 to 8 but for grade 5 or 6 on, needed at least a Grade 5 Music Theory Certificate. And to get a full Grade 8, must have Grade 8 Music Theory certificate too. After that would be either go for a degree overseas or a diploma which can be done locally. Weird right? Can go straight to degree without a diploma.
Degree would learn music in general, like the music in different culture, psychology, etc and even have to pick up a second instrument. Diploma is different from degree. Diploma will only focus on the instrument that you took up. Thus, Diploma is in a way better than degree but would be best to get the degree too. How far (from beginner until diploma) you get depends on how fast you can go unlike the usual education system.

A job offer. Should I take or not?
Just when I made a final decision on the journey home on Wednesday to drop my dance and my job, today, after alighting near the childcare centre to walk to my LT, chatted with my ex-SM as usual.
Today, she asked me if I want to work and earn some extra cash. I asked what kind of job and she said as student assistant or something like that to help in preparation for the undergraduate practical (something which I had done when I was working there). She said that they were having headache over the shortage of manpower and thought that I would be a good choice as I had experiences. She asked me to think about it and let her know so that she can tell the Prof.
It was quite tempting actually especially when I had already decided to resign from my current weekend job. Actually, I would take up the offer if it was in the holidays. Anyway, I shall think about it after I can manage to quit wef the date I decided as it would get me some extra cash.

Weird People Around My Block
Yesterday morning, after having breakfast with my parents, my dad dropped us off from the main road as usual.
As we were chatting with a Indian neighbour and her son while waiting for the lift, an uncle came and went into the lift with us. I forgot that he did not stay at my block. Well, there is a basketball court below my block and every morning, there will be a group of people doing routine exercise there. The uncle who came into the lift with us would always stand at the back of the group and would most of the time be looking behind. Yet he knew when the rest changed position, etc.
The uncle even tried to join in the conversations that we had with the Indian neighbour as we were commenting that her son was very friendly. After the Indian neighbour left at level 4, the uncle started to 'chat' with us and asked questions like why are we here, etc. Even comment that he saw that we always come by car daily. So how long has he been 'eyeing' on our moves? My mum had been going breakfast with my dad for a long period of time and me since the start of the semester. Now, not only 'eyeing' at us, he even goes to the extend to follow us up?
My immediate neighbour also know that he always stand behind during the exercise and always looked behind looking at the opposite sex. We always joked that one day he would '' but we didn't expect that he would follow us up. If ever happened again, would sure scold him and embarrass him in front of many people and even threaten to call the police.
My block had become a place with many weird people. A guy who always had many different Secondary School kids with him would loither around; my neighbour had pillows, etc lost when she sun them outside; they even got clothes and undergarments missing; people gambling or playing cards at void deck and even at certain level of my block at the lift lobby; there are people coming up to play with water from the tap at the staircase beside my unit; and the staircase had become a public toilet and public bathroom, etc. My area had become so unsafe. Must take extra care already. I think it would worsen when the ITE opposited my block was fully build and the school starts.
