exam finished. but...

although i've finished my exams, but most of my friends are still hving theirs. so... aih... how to enjoy?! noone to 'play' with. :(

yday after finish exam, wanted to msg ppl to say how relieved i was but think think... ppl are still hving exam so not really nice to msg them telling how happy you are :(

yday's ppr was tough! after i finished the paper, i was there calculating the scores whether i can pass the ppr. sad case... i dont usually sit there during exams, adding up the marks and stuff. and this time, really scared for not passing the subject!
then, went to city, bought bday card for my wai po. i love cards. i love looking through cards, choosing the best card for the person. and i saw this nice bday card and i just bought it coz it looks nice. :)
yday's weather was crazy, rain, hail, rain, stop, rain, stop...
my exam was at wilson hall, i was sitting at the 2nd row from the door. as ppl opened the door, can feel the cold wind from outside.
went to see myer window. the characters are quite cute but some of them are a bit 'cacat', needs to be fixed up.

was looking at the honours applications last night...
it's either i think too much or really i'm having a problem here.
especially after that last ppr, i dont hv much confident in getting the project i want. which is the one at mcri. i wanted to apply for 3 from pediatrics dep (MCRI), 1 from pathology dep (petermac) and 1 from genetics dep (petermac+genetics co-supervision). then looking at the blanks on the forms (we're allowed to put in more than 3 projects on one departmental application form). filling only one for patho and genetics is risky. means if i dont get that one means dont get at all from that department. so how if i can't get any from MCRI, not even 1 of the 3? how?! mcri is the hardest one to get in... highest required marks.
so i was a bit panick that time, read through other projects in genetics dep, found 2 quite inetersted ones. after all the hesitation, i emailed that supervisor to ask for appointment to ask him things abt his projects. but until now he din reply me :( it's either
he din check email (unlikely hor) or
he thinks this student is so last minute (closing date for genetics dep is on monday) so just ignore. :(
sigh... how how how?! should i just call his office tmr?
or just go: fine... i'll just apply only 1 project for that department. :S
sien...

and choosing between doin hons in uni vs research institutions outside uni is also an espect to think of.
and also need to consider how the supervisor is.. whether he's a considerate person or he's a 'make u work like hell' type of supervisor?
and also other ppl in the labs, whether they are nice ppl etc...
and whether the project is 'workable'. as in... whether will hv result at the end of the 10 months.
and also the coursework.

am i thinking too much? should i just pick the topic i'm interested in and think... i need to learn to deal with different kinds of ppl in the society and just give it a go?


and yup.. it's holiday for me now. which means i need to do some '亲善大使' work which is to call my uncle (who is in melb) and say hello, update him a bit etc...
aih....
i dont like to call him coz i dunno wat to say to him. adult world is complicated. sometimes some things shouldn't be said...
sometimes ppl back home will ask if i call him once in a while... but i'll think... why dont he call me? or his sons (my cousins) call me or even a hello at msn?!

even another uncle and aunty in melbourne, although we're not related (they're just frens of my other uncle), they'll email me sometimes to say hi and stuff, they even called me out for dinner when their son who is working in HK came to melb. they emailed me to let me know and say bye before they go to HK and Msia for holiday for 1 month. i was really touched when they treated me well although they dont really know me.

i'm really tired of 'acting' in front of them, every words need to go through my brain for a few times before said.
i hvn't been talking to my uncle for more than half a year liao. last year, and the years before i still call him once each semester, which is during uni holidays. so when uni holidays start, i'll be like... 'aih... need to call uncle liao'

mum and dad are flying off KL to sydney now. ya.. they're in KLIA now. and i dont think my uncle knows they're coming and our holiday plan to NZ and my summer studentship stuff too. i want him to know before my parents come, before we leave for NZ.
hmm...
wanted to call him last nite. but was watching 'smile pasta' until i remember, it was 12am already.
okok.. i'll call tmr... after mum and dad arrive in the morning, then at least i hv things to say like... 'my parents just arrived in syd this morning' (hope it wont be too surprising for him).
