Pregnancy vs thesis writing

Even though i've never had a baby, but i recon,
Having a baby is probably easier than giving birth to a phd thesis (well, my phd thesis at least),
both takes months to 'prepare'. Yes some ppl take 10 months over even more to write a phd thesis.
changes in hormone levels are experienced in both.
pregnant mums gain weight, I went the other way while writing.
pregnant mums might prefer staying at home because it's tiring to carry your belly around, I prefer not to go out but stay at home to write
pregnant mums had to get a new wardrobe of clothes, i wear pyjamas most of the time in those months
pregnant mums usually have a different set of taste buds, i don't feel like eating at all.

for pregnancies, there's an expected due date, even if the baby doesn't come on that actual date, it won't be a one month delay. for thesis, the 'expected submission date' is always changing, mine has gone from end of march, to mid april, to early may!

During pregnancy, u get lots of moral and 'technical'(eg medical) support u need so u dont feel like u r going through all that by urself
Writing a thesis on the other hand, well at least from my experience, is a cold and lonely path :(

I dont trust you, therefore i take your so-called jokes very seriously

从小学业好，常代表学校参加各种比赛，当过几次模范生，老师眼中的好学生，父母引以为傲的孩子
十多年以来，从小学 中学 到大学 都‘无往不利’，至到现在才真正碰壁
加上身边没有别人给予信心和加油打气，甚至简单的嘘寒问暖，
无助
就算离终点真的不远，这条路也很难走下去
这叫做倒了，输了，崩溃了，垮了

灯泡

厕所的灯泡坏了，拆了下来
拿出一整袋后备的灯泡，发现有两盒是未曾见过
想起一定是爸爸替我买了放着以防万一的
感动 T.T
好想他们哦

I've decided to look for a job overseas for nxt year
Will try to convince my parents
Recently i was convinced that moving overseas wont make any difference in my relationship w my friends here since we hardly meet up these days anyway.
Im tired with being the one trying hard to keep everyone in touch, even though i see their appreciation, im hoping they can be more active and put a little more effort it this.
Yesterday, a friend had enlightened me with the fact that, it's normal to have changes in the dynamics between friends. People should move on with their lives, make new contacts, new friendships. I shoulnt b the one clinging onto the past n hoping things will stay the same forever.

---------------
Seeing what a friend wrote on her fb, and also the preception ppl hv towards 'heaven' which is a better place to be, i recon that idea shld b somewhat responsible to why ppl commit suicide!
If they think their current lives are the best, and afterlife isnt going to b any better, then perhaps those ppl might cherish their current lives better

BIRTHDAY
so, what is the meaning of birthdays
if you search for 'birthday' in wikipedia, here's what you get...
well here are the keywords: 'party' 'cake' 'candles' 'making wish' 'presents' 'bday song'

party - well yes, gatherings over meals are counted.
cake - yea mostly.
candles - yea if there's a cake involved, but usually with a candle without the 's'
making wish - i never believe in 'making wishes' guess i'm too practical, as far as i rmb, i never believe that by making wishes in front of a bday cake, the wish will come true miraculously. so if it doesn't, then why think so hard/ waste time when everyone's waiting around you and pretend i'm making a real wish?
p/s: i would make a wish when i see a shooting star :P
presents - yes, usually but not always. but that's ok, to me, what's more important is the company, the thought and the feeling of being special around ppl.

in high school, there's one other classmate with the same bday as me, although we only shared the same class for one (or 2?) years in highschool. but anyway, bday celebration is not a big thing among my classmates
then during undergrad, my bday falls into uni holiday.
in honours year (ie 4 years after leaving high school), there's a colleague whose bday is 2 days ahead of mine,
then the next year up till now, there are 4 of us with bdays 4 days in a row.
among 2 (of the 3) different circles of my friends, i'm not the only special person at my bday celebration

aww... see i'm always sharing my special day with other ppl. mayb that's why i'm so excited about my uni graduations. haha! can't get enough with them one after another lol!! but this year i'm going to have my last graduation day in my life!! i promise.

dear friends, if you happen to read this, don't get me wrong. i'm not complaining abt sharing my bday with other ppl. just so happen to know so many Capricorns :)

for my parents, that's the day my parents longed for the day i was born. like every baby does, brought joy and happiness to my parents on that day.
wish i can have my parents with me on my birthday, with me physically, every year. I guess every day is my birthday when we live together. because I'm always the special one, feel their love everyday

coming back to the question: what is the meaning of birthday?
it's a day which i can feel special abt myself, feel loved and remembered

'默默耕耘'
i remember that is what my primary 6 class teacher commented about me in our class book.
and now, i'm still doing the same thing!! it would be nice if your superior see and acknowledge your hardwork :(

Happy new year!!
Wow, it's been almost 4 months since my last post. Yea kind of becane bored wondering who else is reading my posts here, so stopped writing new ones. Nevertheless, feel like writing one tonite.
Had too much food at dinner for a hungry stomach, hving tummy-ache now. But it was a good dinner, for my bday :)

电视上看到'flashpoint'，好怀念那些熟悉的建筑物和街道
看着CC的reciept，就想到那些需要付小费的日子
躺在两个枕头上，就想起住饭店的18天
所以我是真的爱上了多伦多，还昰只是想换个新的地方?新的环境?
可是一个人生活在全新的国家是还蛮需要勇气的
好矛盾哦!

最近我妈告诉我theage有我们 institute 的招聘广告
是在暗示我留在这边吗？?
