Update

Just realize I haven't update for a while.. heck been busy :P Can't remember if
i blog about our lab being on fire, anyway.. so instead of working on the 5th
floor, now i am working at the teachign lab, which is great! I am probabily a
freak but I actually like working down there, first of all there is a RADIO!!!
and er.. when you go and ask to borrow little things like a magnet, they
actually help me to find it instead of "it's in the lab somewhere, you'll just
have to find it" :P

Tho somehow it's a bit annoyign having to move things up and down and up and
down all the time, but at least i can actually do lab work which is always a
good thing ^____^ Booked a session for the microscope at 2pm at the bio
building... wish me luck that it works.. or else... well... i really can't be
stuffed doing something new.

Oh~ and my supervisor is back today.. yay~~ for weeks i've been walking around
hoping she'll come back and give me some advice... but now that she's actually
back, i am alreayd trying somethign so... guess i'll just talk to her when I
have the results.

This is random, but i am hungry

Have urge to shoot ppl to death in shooting games recently. looking at my TC3
and g-cons just sitting there collecting dust *sigh* when will they ever make a
plasma compatible gcon eh? but now i am thinking about this.... i wonder if you
can play shooting games without a g con on wii since it already detects your
position right? hm......

ANYWAY... it is.. almost.. lunch time.. and lucy never misses her lunch break
^___^
bye bye ppl~

The Prestige

Went and saw the prestige with frankie, eleen and alice last night. MY
GOODNESS!!! ok.. this is how i imagined the movie was like.

2 magicians competing to be the best, and one finding out the other was a 'real'
magician etc, along the lines of supernatural powers.

But what i got was a.... cruel...cruel...cruel....movie. Ok i won't say more
because I dotn' want to ruin it for anyone who wants to watch it. But yea...
it's.... cruel....

But aside from that, meeting up with the girls was definately fun. ^^ When we
were buying tickets, there were these 2 guys dressed up as penguins trying to
promote "the real penguin experience" at the Kelly Talton. So there I was
starring at the screen with the trailors then someone kept tapping on my
shoulder, so i thought to myself.. who could it possibly be, all 3 of them are
in front of me. Then i turned around and was greeted with this.. huge... black
head... yea i jumped ^^: and was jumpy all night whenever i see the penguin :P
The penguin outfit was actually really cute, nevertheless i am sure i gave
whoever was inside the suit really good entertainment whenever he/she came near
me :P

Anyway.. had really good fun with the girls last night ^^ should definately
catch up more often

Yet another game finished!!

It is almost freaky to think about it, how I already finished yet another game. This time it took me er.. 63 hours at least, within 3 weeks.. freaky right?

So i guess this is my semi review of the game so if you get bored reading about games, stop reading. I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible ppl who actually considering of playing, i wont' ruin the game for you, tho the game is hardly accessible here since it's not available on PAL systems.

I loved the first valkyrie's profile 1, so of course i really looked forward to this one. VPs got a really unique battling system that if you customise it right, the flow of the battle is a lot better than many final fantasy series. Instead the usual over usage of x x x x x, this one actually assign each of the 4 buttons to each character's attack, and to play it well, the game encourages you to explore the best combination of attacks in the right timing, and will be awarded with rounds of soul charges which i guess are like the overdrives in ff series. In terms of plot, i guess this is the game with the most plot twists i have seen, with of course a little splash of romance. The story is good, i would say almost as good as the KH2 one (yes i have very high praise for KH2) the story is definately got it's complexity, the way how each valkyrie take their terms to be the battle maiden, the concept of time travelling. But i guess the best bit about the story is how although it orignally started out as a prequel, it actually ends up being a prequel AND a sequel.. weird right? BUt i just love that twist. But all games have well.. things we dont' really like about it, and for me, the ending was a bit disappointing, it was short, and leaves a lot of unanswered questions hanging and left to the players imagination. Tho the ending better than KH1's ending... (not the KH1 has an ending ^^:)

But overall, it is definatley one of the better games i have played, apart from the ending. It is definately worthwhile, excellent plot, excellent graphic, one of the best battle systems. but for anyone who wishes to play it... i do highly recommend playing vp: lenneth first which i think is coming out on psp soon. ^^

Reflection

I am a bad bad girl er... last year.. see suppose to do this post before 2007 BUT keep 'forgetting' it so here i am.... now instead of reflection 'this' year i have to replace it with 'last'. bad right? Also forgot to er.. polish teh ceiling of our bathroom as mum requested. la la la~ well... technically it's still 2006 in America right? :P

2006 had been a really interesting year for me, for one it was a year that i looked forwarded to all throughout uni. Just the thought of being able to take a food product developmjent course was what sustained me to crawl my way out of many what seemed to be pointless papers that we were required to take, especially in the second year. But of course with interesting papers comes hard work, espeically in the second semester, with 2 bio papers, 2 foodsci, one of which is internally assessed which means a lot of reports to write, not to mention the hellish timetable, starting at 8am and finish at 6 everyday. I know comparing to a lot of courses, the workload I got was nothing, but nevertheless it was hard for me, considering it was the only 4-papers semester i had since year 1. But nevertheless, here i am, having graduated, with grades that i am really happy with. But I guess one thing really bugged me, that this was a year I was meant to really enjoy, and yet I let myself got so carried away with the amount of workload that it was hard to say whether I actually enjoyed it or not. I mean sure food product develeopment was fun to begin with, but soon it became a frustration to keep improving the formulation as it didn't turn out nearly as nice as ones made from normal flour. Sure nutrition sounds interesting (thanks to mike who always told me how good that papers was), which it was, but soon it became so complicated which make me wonder why i didn't take easier optional papers. Micro was suprisingly better this year, I actually quite enjoyed it, tho it's prob coz I have quite a few work experiences with micro which meant i was more interested in the subject.

The point is, this is how I wished i had felt during the year. I am happy that the food science lecturer gives really good notes, I feel lucky that i get to produce my own product, like the industry ppl say, it's rare in a industrial setting that ppl like us get to freely create any product as we pleases, it's a really good experience. I am happy that I took nutrition even tho it was harder and it meant stayign at uni till 6 everything, coz the course was really interesting, which no doubt it was, not to mention all the lecturers were really enthusiastic about the course. I am so lucky that although i have to be at uni at 8 everyday, I get a ride (however early) not to mention I have a mum who loves me so much that she wakes up earlier than me every morning to make me lunch. I am so grateful for all the friends I have, who gave numerous support when I needed it. To ppl who listens to me when I really need to just, complain about something. Danny of course probabily heard the most complaints, which I guess I should improve on because he hate not being able to do anything about my 'complaints'. Also Mike who actually called me up one night when I told him I am not gonna sleep and just finish my essay, and tell me it is always better off to have a better night sleep and work in the morning, than unproductively work throughout the night. One advice which work miracles comes exam time. And to those who luckily escaped my wrath of complains, despite our busy lifestyles, we still make an effort to meet up and be able have so much fun just by each other's companiment.

I don't normally make new year resolutions because I always tend to forget it by the 2nd week. But this year... I really want to make an effort to be more grateful, and more optimistic about things. There's always two sides to a coin, two sides to everything, why live in misery when happniess is only a flip away right?

Happy New Year Everyone.

I hope 2007 will be a great year for everyone!!!! ^^
