2007...a new year a new blog
Finally, I have done it!~ Revamped my blog, I mean. I just couldn't stand the angsty depressing black background which at that time seemed like a really good idea to convey my contemplative self. Now, it just seems immature and run-of-the-mill. Also, the raining boxes of 'X's were getting on my nerves. In case you didn't know, those were supposed to be pretty snowflakes.
So, anyway, I finished revamping my blog in record time! 2 hrs plus and without help wor!~ Yay...granted the fact I have no idea what html even stands for...(yes...i'm that computer iliterate)...but what's the point of me knowing when I'm satisfied just using it. I'm definitely not gonna be a programmer and even if I needed that skill in the future, I'll learn it off the net or take out the Idiot's guidebook.
So basically, I have not been blogging for about half a year or more (if u don't regard photoblogging as blogging) because I hated the layout of my old blog but did not have the time to fix the problem. Hence the procrastination =).
Anyway, what do you think about this new layout? Cool? The main picture was taken during my Field Trip module to Tioman during June 2006. I was on a boat at that time, going to the Marine park to snorkel with fishes!~ So fun rite! I love that trip alot cuz the module was the most slack I have ever taken and this is supposed to be a level 4000 module (i.e. meant for Honours students)! Even though I had to pay extra cuz this module was only offered during special semester (during June Hols), it was totally worth the moolah. Whatever modules u take during special semester all cost the same price and for the same amount of money i get to go to TIOMAN for a WEEK and bunk in a cool kampong style beach resort. REally Fun =)...would have been better though if my deardear had gone along but he was mistakenly informed by the Dean that this module wouldn't be offered that semester. And so my deardear who was contemplating extending his studies by one more semester was forced to drop the idea and 'persuaded' to graduate. Where got like this one??! Give NUS money to earn also don't want. People want to study more also kena discouraged. Sian. So what to do? When I came back from the trip and gave him all my nice nice photos, he labeled the folder "Tioman trip without me". -_-"" SAAADD rite????
Other updates, my honours project is halfway there...currently, I'm trying to block it out of my mind so that I don't feel guilty blogging when i really should be working on my honours project. =)
Yesterday, I went for the Toddycats Museum guiding workshop at RMBR (Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research). I joined this thing like in year 2 but *cough and looks away...mumbles* have effectively not done much constructive stuff. So anyway, I learnt to guide. Must really try to be more relaxed and less a bookworm...must try to tailor my info to the typical Singaporean audience...which means answering questions like, "Can be eaten or not?", "Nice to eat, or not?" -__-"""""
I don't think I fared too well in my practice run but I think I will get better in time and be more of my corny self. Think being in Prof Ip's lab has stiffen me up cuz I'm constantly worrying about stuff...Nah...that was just a lame excuse...Sigh.
Okkie.....2007 resolution: Do more blogging.
Cheers and Best wishes for the New year~
