:S

Clocking in at 2am, I'm blogging to refresh myself.

4 more papers to go and FYP proposal dateline extended by 3 days! (3 days is ALOT and there goes the whole of May)

Next paper is Plant Developmental Genetics and I'm currently studying Floral Development... The ABC model, floral mutations and so on.

The ABC model (Wikipedia)

and the model plant, Arabidopsis.

Back to studying now :)

The journey so far...

“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”

Its almost the end of Year 2.
Two more submissions,
One Final Year Project proposal,
5 papers for the semester exams.

Summer plans are still hanging...I'm too lazy to get started with internship applications and I need to ask my FYP supervisor on my project plans. There might be a possibility of me starting my FYP during summer :S.

FYP presentation and thesis submission in a year's time!
Approximately 13 months to the end of exams!14/15 months to graduation :)
The finishing line is just around the corner :P

But...
there's still so much work left to do.

As a student, its never easy trying to balance work and play. Time is always insufficient for both!

Below are some shots I took this semester :)

An Honest Mistake

Fav shot of the night!

Till then,
Work have to be on top priority :)

I think I'm drifting away too far.

It's been too long of a journey and the end is just around the corner. I've been telling myself to stay focused in order to achieve what I aimed for. It is definitely not an easy task but its not impossible to achieve. I need less distractions and more motivation. I know I can do this. :)


Self-motivating rant...

Random

Was clearing photos and came across this, taken a few weeks back at the farm. It's wings are so delicate and the legs are so graceful!

Piano Theory Grade 5 exam is on Monday morning! There's still so much to memorize! And the worse part is that I have to rush back to campus after the exam for a practical class. Hopefully next week would be a good one, in terms of productivity and activities :)

Happy Belated CNY!

I was missing from the blogosphere for quite some time. Been busy with courseworks, exams and now its halfway through Semester 4 already. I abandoned the Project 52, after a few weeks.

The workload of the UK education system is suicidal, no joke. It starts off with 6 modules a semester, 12 weeks of lecture, 2 weeks of study break, 2 weeks of exams, a few days break, a new semester, another 12 weeks of lecture, 2 weeks of study break, 2 weeks of exams and 4 month long Summer break! In between the lecture and study weeks, we have to slot in the Malaysian Public Holidays.

Anyhow, the past 5 weeks of Semester 4 have been all about fun. CNY was great, all the munching obviously made me put on weight! Its hard to resist all the cookies that only appear once a year. :)

And the extra cash that we get :)

Along with the card game I love most :)

And since CNY is over, the fun stops. Last semester's results were okay, gotta work a whole lot harder this semester. There's too much to do!

Till then... Toddles.

Light Painting

Light painting aka light drawing or light graffiti is a technique in which involves long exposures to moving light in the dark. Light sources are usually hand-held to draw images in space and captured by the camera as moving lines/ drawings.

Below are a few images I got off the web, some of which are really creative. (I'll probably post up some photos of my own attempt at light painting next :) )

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for the comment! Would definately try to blog more in the future
(although majority of the post are just photos).

5 more modules to go.

I'm keeping to my self-promise of not logging into Facebook for the next 8 days. Updates are on Twitter though, just to keep me saint for a bit.

Shall be blogging again soon, during breaks.


To all Nottingham friends,

Best of luck! Do get ample rest, eat right and study smart!
