Official date of my convocation ceremony: 31st July 2013. My undergrad days are numbered. After spending 4 years in NTU, it has finally come (once again) to begin a new chapter in my life. A chapter, full of uncertainties, where even the author doesn't know where the life story will lead to at the end... Continue Reading →
Downton Abbey
So I just started watching Downton Abbey, a British-made period drama about an aristocratic family in the early 20th century. After watching the entire season 1, I couldn't believe myself as to why I didn't watch this drama earlier. It was so good and I was hooked on it immediately, despite simply being a...

Sprinting on the train platform
I take the train to work every morning. Jurong East MRT station is one of the more crowded stations during peak rush hour. But why do people always sprint from one platform to another as if their life depended on it? These are some of the behaviours that I find most annoying. I mean, the... Continue Reading →
Australian Law, Medicine and Health Science Open Day
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. I now have a range of... Continue Reading →
Difficult transition
I am undergoing a rather difficult transition. Right now, here I am doing my final year project in a lab, with little progress to be made as of late. A lot of setbacks have occurred recently and my experiments are going at a snail's pace. I don't know if i can finish my experiments and... Continue Reading →
The next chapter of my life
My time in NTU is about to end. I'm living my final days of my final semester doing my final year project. Soon I would embark on another chapter of my life that could potentially be life changing and perhaps exciting. I have been considering my options, and one of them is to continue my...

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. I have seen my friends come and go, and they often come back a better person. And that is a good thing.... Continue Reading →
Books I read in 2012
This is the first time I'm compiling a list of books I have read for 2012. This is made easy by just referring to past orders made from Amazon through the Kindle store. It keeps track of all the purchases I have made during the past year and thus all the books that I have... Continue Reading →

Happy New Year!
2013 has a arrived. So what happened in 2012? Quite a lot for me. It was full of ups and downs literally. Like the time when I spent 6 weeks in Tunisia, doing volunteer work. That was incredible. Also did a little backpacking after that with my best buddy, Aaron. We didnt go that many... Continue Reading →
Movie buffs, mark your calendars for 2013!

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
Some of the things that make me happy. A cup of toffee nut latte and a plate of Ol' Glazed. Too bad Starbucks signature drink only comes once every christmas. Reading my favourite book on Kindle on a rainy day, all afternoon. Finishing an unexpectedly good book and exclaiming to yourself, "What the F*** did... Continue Reading →
