This afternoon I went to the Pan-Pacific Hotel, where they held the Australian Law, Medicine and Health Science Open Day. Having gone through a similar seminar and exhibition that showcases UK Universities, it was another fruitful day learning about the postgraduate courses on offer from several Australian Universities.

Where all the beautiful people are
I have been to nightclubs a number of times. The best moments are when you are so high, but not yet drunk till you puke on the streets, blasting your favourite music, in the sickest beats the DJ can come up with, dancing to the groove, with your favourite group of friends. Those were the... Continue Reading →
Dr. Carmella’s guide to understanding the introverted
A comic strip, drawn by Schroeder Veidt, summarises the characteristics of an introvert and how to deal with them. It is a very interesting piece of comic strip that illustrates how introverts behave around people, their characteristics and how to understand them better. As an introvert myself, I agree with what is being mentioned in... Continue Reading →
Finding the correct moment to blog
The correct moment to blog for me would be in the wee hours of the morning, when everything is quiet. Total silence. The tv is switched off. The doors to my room is closed, no one on the streets and you only hear the crickets chirping into the darkness of the night. The weather is... Continue Reading →
Best notebook I have ever used
Zequenz, a line of notebooks that I bought from my local bookstore. It is probably the best notebook I have ever used. It not that cheap to begin with. Ever since I started on my Final Year Project, the things I do in my lab and the experiments I perform on a daily basis, requires... Continue Reading →
The hardest goodbye?
Last week, a friend of mine flew to Denmark to start her new semester as an exchange student. Little did I know that her departure was probably the hardest I have ever dealt.

Happy New Year!

Christmas, a time for giving and sharing, big and small
Presents aside, Christmas is more about giving presents. Its more than just gathering together as a family or a group of friends and enjoying the day together. It is about being happy, not just for yourself, but for others too. Facebook and twitter feeds are currently flooded with not only pictures of presents, of good... Continue Reading →
The Lord of The Rings Trilogy EXTENDED movie marathon
When The Hobbit was released a couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to watch it on IMAX 3D and it was an amazing experience to revisit Middle Earth after 11 years since the first LOTR movie was released. Not only that, the new format gave a refreshing perspective in the entire Middle Earth... Continue Reading →
The world is not going to end
Not on my watch. Here are my reasons why. The Hobbit sequels due 2013 and 2014 is yet to be released. I am dying to see those. The Playstation 3 exclusive video game The Last of Us, due May 2013, is not out yet. I wanna play that game so badly. Any games developed by... Continue Reading →
Things that make me happy
