Pinky and The Brain!

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 1:27 AM

Been such a busy busy month!!! Time has really flown and in 21 more days, its back to my pink room! looking forward to sleeping uphigh! and also..im running low on pain killers...these crams are killing me..thank God for painkillers! Wish i could get a jab, so much faster pain relief! Thank God pastor and aunt Rob are back too! and now everything is settled =)... Pastor and aunt rob, uncle H and aunty G will be keeping us in prayer as we seek to serve Him as a couple and grow closer to Him. grinz...they think ben and i being together is lovely =)... Praying for God's guidence as we walk this walk together, may it be a God honouring r/s. Amuesing..everyone sort of saw us getting together, everyone but us..took us quite a long time to actually find out...brain and i are quite blind mice. we were both thinking each other were forbidden fruits, so we both never said anyting and kept brushing it aside..but im glad somehow, exactly a month ago...he got it out of me...i never thought he'll look my way..but you did, and u loved me with bugsy and all my imperfections....thanks my dear.
 
Hm..strange though..tt the gossip going arnd is tht we are not heeding church advice,that we're facing church discipline, that the elders told us to call it off...hm...i wonder where they heard that from...cos no one ever said that to us when we went to find the elders to pray for us. oh well...there's lots more gossip flying arnd, dragging up the past too..i find it highy amuesing...people should really pray more and talk less. want us to break up? perhaps they should pray more to God, for His will to be done. I find though the ones who talk so much..their own lives are quite a mess, they cant even handle their own problems, still got time to come up with so much gossip. stooping to such low levels, kinda weak and pathetic isnt it.

Anyway, its been so much fun! Thnak God expts are working pretty well, and so its the rounding up stuff before heading home =)!Ben and i have been having heaps of fun together =) here are some of our advantures! 


Cooking at home and when we're lazy to cook...Chilliz to the rescue!


Fishing, BBQs and Abaloning!

Thanks for adding so much colour and joy to my life!

excess

  • Oct. 21st, 2009 at 9:41 PM

The sure way to unhealthy eating...in excess

sardines
milo
espresso
eggs
soup that taste quite erm...gross (this got chucked)
fishballs
crab sticks

there's no instant mee hence that dosent contribute to the unhealthy diet. hahah

often times we choose our own paths to self destruction, and there's no one to blame but ourself.  
Anything in excess is bad la..excess sleep, excess grieving, excess eating, excess baggage, excess emotions, excess expectations, excess disappointment, excess worrying, excess procrestination..etc etc...
wah..the last is the worst...

so...everything in moderation with eyes focused on the Lord....so that come what may...as long as i keep my eyes on Him, nothing will be in excess...human responsibility, divine soverinty.

IDEA!

  • Oct. 1st, 2009 at 10:52 AM

Have figured a new way to stay warm...

DRINK LOTS OF WARM WATER! its freezing...even though the sun is shining..i am freezing..3 layers, jeans..and im feeling the shivering cold. its like my muscles are all tensed up and cant relax. so cups of warm water. PLUS: the benefit of h2o cannot be undermined...and it keeps hunger pangs away. 3 uses...nice! water...yucks!

Anyway realise i've been skypping alot...and that's use up alot of quota at home...so upgraded to 15G peak, 20G offpeak. and no one uses offpeak unfortunately!2am-12pm..i try to sleep by 1am...and wake for uni, leave house by 8.30am. so ie: no can do the 2-12 on weekdays. Am going to try to catch up on bleach and naruto this friday night...haha...will wait till 2am to start streaming...goodness...think there must be at least 15 episodes to catch up on. wheeee....cant wait for friday night after ypf! ...and unfortunately, i'll be working thru this weekend in uni...sunday got to come back for abit too..opps....i'll make it really really fast..just change solutions and go home n chill!

wheeeee....life is like a roller coaster!

  • Sep. 30th, 2009 at 11:34 AM

Blood Donation Drive! I am gg to try for it today! hence...i am eatting and have downed 2 glasses of water. If i'd know earlier, i'd have worn jeans for the added weight. i hope water weighs alot. but haha...im sure those late night suppers ive been having for the last few weeks are going to help too. nice nice nice!!!Although i think there's a high chance they'll reject me..considering how generally im not in the pink of health..more like the baby pink of health. getting there but not quite pink pink. I just pray i dont faint....it will be rather embrassing...ultra embrassing infact. Ruth cannot be so WEAK.

1.10pm: they have enough people for blood..no need mine...=(....great..i drank those 2 glasses of h20 for nothing! 
 
A changelling message last night..

 "For if ye forgive men thier trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; But if ye forgive not men thier trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15

and me...i've held on too long..way too long to the grudges i bear. Forgiveness...forgive even if there is no apology. forgive, more so if the person asked for forgiveness. I held on to the grudge because she never said sorry, because she was fed and watered but never felt even the slightest remose, all she said was i feel i havent done anything wrong. and so i took that as an excuse to continue hating her, and for that i am very sorry. I might never meet her again, and even if i do meet her, things will never be all rosy and cheery like before...after all..only an idiot will not be cautious...somethings are lost forever, but i will not hate u any anymore and i will forget the past and you too with it..letting go..i will not let hate eat my heart..or hinder my spiritual walk...after all...its the past..and who knows what later might bring. but i apologise to you..for bearing a grudge aganist you all these years.

And sorry to you...for u had to put up with me for 2 years...always coming back to the same thing, going round in circles..thanks for being so patient and stll standing by me even today. sorry i burdened you with my hate and hindered out spiritual walk. sorry love.

wah..serious man..God wont forgive me if i dont forgive...and tt's even worst to have God angry with me, and P said if u dont forgive...u cant take the Lords supper, you cant say the Lords prayer..and you'll end up turning away from God...which is what i did right..i couldnt forgive and ended up straying from Him...wanting to come back to Him but couldnt bring myself to let go. Dont walk the same path i took...its a painful one..and one that will be full of saddness and burdens, hatered will eat your heart and leave u empty, bittness will make you ruthless and ugly.

Thank you Lord for softening my heart and helping me to let go for all bitterness and hate.

Sunday 27 Sept 2009

Agenda: Church, visitations and fishing!

Off to church bright and early sunday morning, didnt fall asleep...am very impressed with my instant espresso...its been keeping me awake..good stuff! Had a brief chat to pastor and aunt rob gave me a hug, really hope pastor will get less busy, got stuff i want to ask him about..but ya...sunday's he's really busy..and i will try to catch him on tue or fridays instead. then off to visit T&E's new bub..little Mattheus (i cant spell his really cheem name)..and little one was so cute!!!! then off to visit S's daddy, and thank God he looks pretty bright, like he can stand. S's really my inspiration...she's so positive...when i grow up, i want to be like her! She's had so much thrown at her, but she's still smiling, still hyper and still the spirited girl she is! makes me think twice when im feeling down and thinking i've got too much to handle. she's had worst..and so..God willing i'll have that kind of fighting spirit! 

Then on to fishing! And the girls are coming...grinz...Ty, Ray,Bk, S and Yj! wheee....grabbed bait, grabbed dominos, had a picnick on the grass in the sunshine! Got to fishing spot, set up rods..rock climbing...cast..snagged a huge rock...and that's the end of fishing for me. hahaha...too lazy to climb back up the rocks, and bet when i recast, i'll end up with another rock. so nah...just sat there soaking up the sunshine, watching the beautiful sunset, feeling the sea spray, watching the crabs feeding...and just staring at the blue blue sky and waters...and feeling so relieved and free and light hearted. Its one of those moments i wish would last forever...away from the world away from everything, just the sky, sea, breeze and me..

That was..until the boys casting overhead started dropping hooks infront of us, and hooking S, and we decided...too dangerous...then we walked to the light house, sat and talked girlie stufff...laughed..talked aboout our ambitions..sister fellowship...such a blessing from God! and the...the drama begins....

Roachy was so near us....and yj might have touched it..so time to leave..and on heading back...bk had fell really bad on the rocks and seriously..he should see a doctor to get it checked considering he's pain level is 8-8.5/10 a day later. And then he lost his wallet..so we were hunting his car for it and we went back to the previous picnik spots..and he lost his sd card whist cancelling his credit cards..he sure had it bad that day. Then dinner...and more cold jokes from ty and s, and then home sweet home!!!

Here are the photos...too lazy to put captions now...
  

Feast your eyes on the beautiful sunset....God's creation..simply amazing!

Trooped off to the Perth Royal Show (PRS 2009) at showgrounds last saturday! Weather was fantastic! Sunny, not too hot, not too windy, just perfect!!! Got abit lost on the way there....walked the wrong direction and ended up one stop futhers..but alls good...took the train down and got to the show with plently of time to spare! Show wasnt too crowded since it was the footy grand finals..so we were able to make our way as a group through the show! Lots to see, lots to play! Bud, ernest and i sat the ghost ride! and it wasnt that scary, just kinda noisy...but i screamed right at the end when someone popped up next to me..haha...so not bad i'd say...if it made me scream! Lots of animals too!

   
 

The boys were playing lots of games, shooting cans, basket ball etc etc!
 

 And of course the show bags! J got the Ben10 one..and I got sponge bob one!!!haha..i love the patrick toy that came with it! wanted the basket ball too! but hey, patrick can sit with my teddies, but the basketball cant! And the boys being very practical, got headlights and a set of knives and boards to fillet the fishes they catch!
  


Spider pets, silly hats and the Lost kid sticker! Please do not return! 
   

No funfair is without food of course...!heaps of fries!
 
 

Weird inedible cakes...what good is a cake if u cant eat it! works of art!
 

And of course...a rather hair raising issue....thanks for the sacrifice brain!
    




TO BE CONTINUED...too tirewd to upload more..yawn

Day 1 of Immunohistochemistry!!!! Its a 5 day protocol...well...lets make it 7 days then i dont have to come in on saturday..haha..easy peasy!the last part is just squashing the muscle, im sure squashing it 2 days more wont make a diff right? at most i'll go bk to uni bright and early sat morning and remove the slides.

Im glad i got my protocol up and working and now in the testing phase...I PRAY THAT IT WORKS!!! if not it'll be trouble shooting..and trouble shooting takes forever! Like really...a hundred and one ways for things not to work, and sadly only a few ways it'll work. but God willing it will work then i can proceed to part to of creating protocol. Dont I just love experiments! ITs like coming up with your own recepie to make a yummy delicious cake! such a nerd!!! heh..my fellow phd mate was wondering why i was so happy i had a 5 day protocol to do...hm..to me its like taking a step forward, and hey, weekends are just weekends i guess...i rather do weekends and end in 3yrs, then do no weekends and never end.

Anyway, weathers been CRAZY...i hope this sat at the Perth Royal Show it wont be too cold! And...unfortunately today is coughing fit day...like really bad coughing fits...i was in a meeting w sup, and started coughing..and couldnt stop..bet she thinks i have sars!!! and like cough till my eyes started watering..so weird...i hope it stops...2nd time it happened was talking to E, and she thought i was choking to death. hahah..and later she jokingly said go put on a mask! well...2phd students are sick in my room...i hope i didnt catch anything.

Hm..i dont know to be amuesed or to be burdened or to be horrified or to be cautious or perhaps im just being crazy...and i know ur busy..sigh..and i know i have to be independent..and i cant keep leaning on others for support...if not i'll never stand on my 2 feet, and i'll end up causing trouble for others...but just sometimes i really wish u'll be less busy...i know im busy too..but ya..i just wish...k..stop wishing and focus on the project!!!! a billion papers to read and write!!! Presentation date 24 Nov 2009, proposal to be submitted before, review paper submission before i fly back to sg 22 Dec 2009. RUTH DEADLINES are coming up and u still got time to think about personal needs? WAKE UP!!!!  that includes no time to be sick..bleah

its better sometimes to not know..then to know so much and be burdened by it..TRUE?

but then if u take it too extreme...then u'll end up blur like me! blur and clueless..but HAPPY!

wheeeee...and the weekend goes by...

After an hour of painstaking slow careful disection of the spinal cord, it frayed! THE STUPID spinal cord frayed!!!

Admid the disecction though, there was alot of "crap" "shoot" and "damn" coming out....i think the other labmates must think im crazy..oh well..fustration...imagine trying to scoop taowhey out of a bone straw, without breaking or damaging the taowey. and imagine it is about the size of a pen refill, and the taowhey...its got bits poking out of the straw, and u need to get those bits out too...intact and w.o damage, and the best yet..its all soaking in 4%PFA solution. but anyway, its out, its frayed and now i got another one to work on before i can pack up an do grocery shopping.

Seriously..i think grocery shopping is a waste of time, just like how eating is a waste of time and money, and we should just be sleeping! sigh..quite complaining ruth! i wish kilus was here to stock my fridge with goodies! i think the smell of instant mee is really making my appetite disappear. Instant mee 3 days in a row. best. now i need to find another instant dish. instant soup and instant pasta and indo mee is out too..the smell of which is quite bad too cos i ate too much last time.

Here's tmr's schedue!!!

1.wake up (do i really have to..sigh)
2.quick breaky
3.put clothes in to wash
4.Go uni, put brain in sucrose, put more OCT into old brains, check if spine sunk, if it did, put OCT in
5.Hang clothes out to dry
6.make a dish for YAF
7.Head down to city west to renew learners permit
8.head to pastors to do some typing
9.go for YAF
10.HOME!!!!!
11. If still alive, vaccume room
12. If still alive, sleep!

Me thinks there's too much doing on tmr..sians..

oh..and make time for finding those antibodies to buy
and what is the protocol for antigen retrival
and what antibody is best to use
and what documents i need to apply for CMCA

At least when im home one less distraction. hai..stupid ruth. please im begging u to read those papers and paraphase all those sentences. Im having so much trouble figuring out these stupid trophic factors its driving me nuts!!!

All these factors are driving me insane.. argh. it acts on dono what..secreted by dono what..multiple receptors, can be knock down w/o phenotype = redundent/overappling function...but then if overexpress result in suppression or increased sprouting, and argh!!! i cant figure out where goes where and who binds with what and then there's that concentration thing, where sometimes more of it results in a different effect compared with less of it.. argh...ARGH!!!! crazy crazy crazy..and tt's why im ending up not studying..i need to sit and really lay out all the info on a big piece of paper and brain storm..sigh..more like brain dead...and why arnt my stupid neurons cooeperating???

all i want to do is go sleep.

Today felt very very VERY long...and finally its almost time to kun...but want to get some stuff out of my brain..and hopefully i wont have nightmares...

I complained about dirty dishes and mossy house...and the Lord put me in check...He's showed me how blessed i am..to have a roof over my head, to have friend to look after me, to have family back home waiting for me, to have my boy loving me just as i am..and most importantly to have health..to be able to walk, laugh, sleep eat..so what's so bad about a few dirty moldy dishes. Next time just wash them up, be thankful and do it unto to Lord. no complains.

And i say im homesick and miss my family and boy, but in reality, im so blessed to have even family and friends to miss, so yes ruth, stop looking inwards and making urself sad..theres much to be thankful, and many to reach out and to share some care, concern and love with. they are feeling even more lonely and neglected.

I've been so sheltered..this is the first time ive faced something like that...and unfortunately i didnt handle it too well...promise i'll do better next time..so gagged afew times,had to run out of the hosue cos i almost puked..and regretted eatting dinner...and squealed at a few sights...i should have composed myself more..while Aunt R was handling the worst...i felt so bad i couldnt be of more use...dinner would definitely have resurfaced if i did what aunt R was doing..sigh..ruth, why arnt thou so weak? better do better for tue's mice sampling.

Anyway, haha..after that..wearing a full yellow pj with mickymouse..wasnt really that bad..and yes i had to take a deep breathe and tell myself its ok..just walk thru the doors into a room full of kids...and just avoid all the stares and suppressed laughter...sigh...oh well..if kilus was there, im sure he'll find me cute..haha..tt's my own consolation..grinz...so ya..embrassing though it was...i was glad i got to shower and change..must do laundry..and disinfect shoes...infact..i think i'd better buy detol...and yes..i found a new shampoo that makes my hair quite nice, some sunsilk thing..opps...i just anyhow use since there wasnt anyhting else avaliable..anyway..haha..the comments i got after that was hilarous..and in the end..im glad everyone got quite a laugh out of it..me included.. the top though was rather short and it didnt quite cover my butt, so i was feeling rather selfconcious about that. But everyone had quite a good laugh..so it was well worth it la..and i just keep telling myself he would have found me cute..and tt's all that matters.  and really..clean clothes are worth it.

so here are a few desriptions:

Ty = "Power rangers"
Em = "I thought u werent wearing anything"
P = "What in the world are you wearing, that isnt how ur normally dressed"
"Talitabies"
"Bumble bee"
"Its ironic ur wearing a mouse shirt when u kill mice"

Shopping was good today too! Picked up more stuff...i wanted a beanbag, but good i didnt get it cos it wouldnt have fitted into b's car. thanks so much for the ride too! sorry to trouble u..sigh..ruthie needs to get her liscence badly, so she can be independent and stop relying on others for help, but insead be of help to others. Then stapling after ypf and i got really tired and my voice started to go off...throat hurts badly now..but at least i can still smile..probably not gg to talk cos its too painful.

ok..time to kun! breakfast with supervisor tmr...she said anytime after 10am. good..i hope we do Dome breakfast, she wants poached eggs..and i want scrambled eggs =)

rain drops keep falling on my head..

Dear Lord,

Please make the rain stop..and the winds too..ruthie is very cold and waterlogged, and feels like she is being blown away..=( Please send Mr sunshine along.



It's like a mini typhoon out there...crazy winds, pouring rain..soggy soggy...where is Mr Sunshine? Gloomy weather makes me think of home..of naps in the living room..of the tinkling sound of rain as it hits the aluminum slates, of cold milo from the milo truck. And i fall asleep..warm and dry, under the covers of my blue blankie..while mochi and stranger sleep..waiting till mummy and daddy returns..



here its kinda lonely...its cold..and wet..and there's no warmth, even under so many layers..mummy and daddy wont be walking through the door..infact..no one is going to walk through the door. no kilus, no korkor no renny boy..and no warm furry mochi to squeeze when im stress (i dont squeeze mochi..just hold her in my palms..and i feel like stress drains away)..and no stranger to break the slience..and act silly to make me laugh. 

 

Late nights trying to get my brain working, reading and typing, trying to squeeze knowledge out of my neurons...and you know..people are SO complicated..so so complicated..think im going to tune out now..there's no answer, theres no solution, and u know..if i continue...i'll end up getting caught in all the mess of complicated people...so i reckon...i'll just bury myself in my review.



hurry back..please..ruthie really needs you, ruthie needs a listening ear and your advice and only you can hear what i have to say and tell me the things i need to hear....so please please be contactable soon...

and on and on it goes...

Now i know why the boys keep telling me i'm living in a moss farm...cos seriously...its down right disguesting! OH MY goodness..have these girls never been trained to wash up? ITs so gross..and none of them do it...its like they just live with it..and yes there's a certain amount of gross i can tolerate, especially since this isnt my home..but really..unwashed dished from the day i got here (ie 3 weeks ago), and cups with what looks like fermented milk, smells like fermented milk too..i nearly puked at the smell, and there's one even with mouldy peaches inside, and ya..the most disguesting of all: a cup w a tea bag inside..and the mould can be seen growing BIGGER day by day. ITs horriendous...even i dont even dare to touch that one...yucks...and to think they'll actually dare to reuse these cups and bowls? gosh...i was half tempted to throw everything away. so unhygenic! And ya...even the boys couldnt stand it. yucks...ok..tt's the last lot of dishes im gg to wash in this house..im out of here...im going to move into my new place..even if there's no internet there, and even if im half afraid to be alone in the empty house, even if i have to endure dark corridoors and gas leaks..im moving out man..this house is absolutely unhealthy!

And really...dont they even think to clean????

pardon my outburst

Tell me why am i doing my phd on neurons? why why why? I dont understand the brain...i've never understood it! NEVER! there's so many thing to memorise about the brain tt's why i hate it. Seriously..every part of the body is so SO much simpler than the brain. the nervous system is like one super complicated piece of fat. ITs like so small compared to everything..yet its so complicated. seirously..why??? its not just studying neurons, its how the stupid cells around them interact, and worst, how neurons to neurons talk..and lagi worst is how different parts control different things! and like that's not bad enough...lets add a few layers and odd shapes into the brain too...ventricles, ceberellum, cortext is all very easy to understand..but no...lets add ganglions and gryus and lots of other words i cannot even pronounce what more spell.

AND... like tt's not really bad enough...they have to criss cross as they go down the spinal cord..and so the left controls the right and the right controls the left...and there's more..some dont want to cross over..some prefer to go straight, and some more prefer to be short and some long and some just want to talk to another simply w synapses, but others prefer to latch on to talk! ARGH...

I need a crash cram course from a brain expert...sigh..i dont know how to learn it myself...ok..there's wiki which i've been reading up..but its so hard to find a proper pic of the anatomy...ya..and verntral horn and white and grey matter and seriously...this is all JUST THE BASIC. i havent even gotten down to the molecular level of factors and biomolecules and neurotoxins...

HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO WRITE A REVIEW IF I CANT UNDERSTAND THE BASICS!!!

ok..now tt's out..i can get back to studying...finishing off the text book from sup..yay!
muscle i can do...neurons...tell me i just dug my grave.

I want to go home.

a new begining...

Time is amazing...it helps one to forget...even the most painful momets..especially very useful with a very faulty memory like mine...and some things are better left forgotten...

so...here i was thinking i'll better sort through some photos of old...(well..these are photos of faith since 2004) and get out the irevalant ones cos bud wants them for anniversary, BUT...its too hard...i give up..too many reminders of the past and pain, and wah, suprising i still have these photos..when really..i would have burned them (deleted them) if i remembered they were in the computer. so yes..i will just pass all the photos (a few thousand) to bud and let him sort them out, i never want to see them. especially ones from 2006 and 2007. feel like just deleting the whole folders. but ok..i will not. not today, there are some good ones in them..but to find the good ones will mean gg thru the bad ones..and ya right..like i'd be stupid enough to restart my awefuly memory Ive tried so hard to repress these years. i had the unfortunate glimspe of the one dimsum one..if i had known i'd have used my fork as a weapon.

I sure hope bud dosent pick out the ones i hate..else i might just end up tearing the pages off the anniversary mag. gosh i really have to deal with my temper. cool it ruth
