Before taking off in a plane, of course many would not even bother to hear or even look at the air stewardess when she/he is performing the safety equipments in front. But i find this example very significant. When the oxygen mask drops from the top compartment. Take for instance, we have our own child next to us. What would we do during emergency? No doubt the first thing we would do is to place the oxygen mask over our child. We do that because we love our child so much and wouldn’t want a single thing to happen to him/her. But what does the intructions say? You place the oxygen mask over YOURSELF before placing in on your child. Why so? Because we need to save ourself in order to save our child. So what if we really put it over our child first but we die in the course of it? Our child will be alone. Who knows what will happen to our child in times of chaos and massive havoc with people running around to save their lives.

In real life, this example is very relavant. There is a reason why people always say ‘take care of yourself before taking care of other people’. If you do not take ur feelings and emotions into consideration, how can you set an example and help your friends who are in need? This is not being selfish. This is being smart and alert of what is happening around us and how to react to these situations we are put in. Sometimes its so tough especially when that person is so close and dear to you. You always want to do something, comfort that person all the time, but don’t forget you are living your own life too and better to let go or you yourself will be burn out. When that happens, who is going to help your friend?

LOL i know this picture has nothing to do with UNI, but i found it somewhere and i love it =)

OK back to the above topic =D

Yesterday I attended my first day of orientation.

The night before I said to myself I wanted to try the public transport, to see whether it will save time and bring me there faster. So I did, the next morning I reached the KTM station at 7.15am, waited for the train nearly 20minutes. Board the centre of train that is specially for ladies only. Everyone rushed in before the people in the train could come out, typical malaysians. It was so cramped up in the train and I endured that for another 30minutes because the train was moving so slow comparatively to the MRT train back in Singapore that I’ve been sitting for the past 4 & half months.

Glanced at the watch the moment I reached and realized i have another 25minutes to rush to UNI as it was going to start at 8.30am. I walked as fast as i could to the bus station only to disappointed the second time seeing the long queue. I waited another 15minutes just for the bus, which makes it 8.20am. Relieved that i might be able to reach uni on time. Back in Singapore, we used this “ezlink” card whenever we board the train or bus which makes it super fast, but here, I had to wait so long for the bus attendant to collect money from each person, sigh. As soon as I reached the front of the bus, the bus attendant shut the door right in front of my face!! I knew that instance, I wont reach UNI on time. “GREAT! on my first day and i’m already late”. So i waited for the next bus, and the whole cycle repeated again. To cut the long story short, I reached UNI 45minutes late.

I went inside and all eyes instantly were glaring at me. *Embarrassed* by the looks given, I quietly got a chair and hide my face. So orientation started by a few speech from some big shot lecturers with one string of titles before their names. Considering the fact I didn’t have a good sleep the night before, my eyes were just few mm to closing as each minute passed by. After tea time and lunch, the never ending speech continued … and after that we made our way to the new campus at Jalan University.

To cut another part of the story short, we visited this place where the medical students carried out their experiments on dead bodies. I was wondering why did they bring us there when we have nothing to do with that. Maybe they thought that this will make our expedition around the uni more interesting. SO YES! On my first day of uni, i saw this dead body floating in ice water. Few more bodies were there but we opted out before they opened the other covers. OMGEee what a horrible sight on my FIRST DAY.

Basically that was what happened. I made my home with public transport and don’t worry i am not going to bore u another time with the major weaknesses in OUR public transport system. This whole week is orientation, and i nicely skipped today’s orientation because I’m sick. :D cheers to more exiciting uni experience!

Stage 1 (Drowsiness) - This lasts just five or ten minutes. You are easily awakened when you are disturbed by something.

Stage 2 (Light Sleep) - Eye movements top, heart rate slows, and body temperature decreases

Stages 3 & 4 (Deep Sleep) - You’re difficult to awaken, and if you are awakened, you do not adjust immediately and often feel groggy and disoriented for several minutes. Deep sleep allows the brain to go on a little vacation needed to restore the energy we expend during our waking hours.

REM sleep (Dream Sleep) - At about 70 to 90 minutes into your sleep cycle, you enter REM sleep. You usually have three to five REM episodes per night. This stage is associated with processing emotions, retaining memories and relieving stress. Males may have penile erections, and females may have clitoral enlargement.

Well i didn't know that 'REM sleep' happens few times in a sleep. No wonder I've been dreaming so much in my sleeps. According to research, dreaming contributes in a good way to a human being. It stabilizes emotions and give you a happier mood when you wake up. However for some because their hearts are so troubled, they easily get affected with bad dreams and in the end wake up feeling hopeless.

Back to my question, a few answered that when you're in 'REM' (dream sleep), you have actually entered a good sleep. So it would not tire you, but for some they said the opposite.

SOOOooo..

Whats the ANSWER MAN!

A piece of advice: Sleep at least 7-8 hours per day. Because all the stages of sleeps happens to everyone regardless how many hours you sleep. So when you sleep early, you balance out all the stages and you wont feel tired the next morning even though you dream/don't dream. EVERYONE DREAMS IN EVERY SLEEPS whether u realize it a not :)

• Yesterday, after work, my colleague (Bridget) and I went to Bishan to watch Eclipse. Boss was on Medical MC, so we were able to end work right on the dot,.

1) We sat in the MRT comforting ourselves that we still have ample of time to do what we want to do before the movie. The old guy next to me shoot me a stare before i went out for some reason. Maybe because i was too annoying, laughing and peeking at his newspaper. Hey man, you suppose to share kays, don't be selfish! :D

2) As soon as we reached there, we practically ran straight to KOI Bubble Tea to get ourselves a large cup each. It's Dbest, I'll bring you to go and try if you're here! haha. As usual, there were a lot of people. So while waiting for our number to be called, we went to the shop next to get it and bought breads for dinner! =)

3) The moment we got our bubble tea, we hid it & the breads in our bags haha. We continue our Marathon to the cinema. We were so relief that we managed to reach on time to watch the advertisement.

4) While we were happily enjoying the advertisement we heard giggles behind our seats. At first we thought it was ok since the advertisements were quite ridiculous and funny. But after that, the giggles became more persistent, and loud. Hearing from the sound of it, definitely they are not from our generation or the older ones. When we turned, oh boyy! we saw little girls age from 9-11. Six of them sitting in a row.

5) The movie started.. Even at the beginning of the movie, when a kissing scene was displayed, the kids behind giggled as if they have not seen people kissing before. They went like "heheheh, eyer .. eeeyerr.." OMGGeee!! When i turned, i saw these few kids closing their eyes. In my heart i said "dont' lie to me, i'm sure you are still peeking at the corner of your eyes, so stop pretending and shuuussshh!" Gosh they were so annoying the whole entire movie. They walked out, they walked in. They could not do it gently instead they must knock every single one before they make their way out.

6) .themovie. It was OKKkk only, not as good as I expected it to be. It's too cheesy," Bridget said. As a matter of fact i have to agree with her. The words Jacob use in the movie are too good to be true. A bit unrealistic. As much as we girls love that kind of affection, this was just too sweeet. LOL. The fighting wasn't so drama, the Cullen killed the other vampires too easily. The whole story line was more to a love story than a battle :)

7) overall it was not bad. there were some parts that will humor you! i rate it .. err 8/10? I'm definitely on Edward's team because seeing Jacob in Valentine's Day movie does not give me that impression that he posses a "manly" character but i cannot deny that his 6pax is so nice to look at. hahaha. We headed straight home after the movie, and now I'm stoning at work. I'm so sleepy because i refused to sleep early yesterday to hear music. Punishment.

p/s : Dear Bridget, i had an awesome time with you. Thank you for your lovely company!! :D and please don't laugh at romantic scene because its too cheesy. Feel the love woman! haha lovess!

The other secretary by the name of Bridget has finally return after her study break. Oh gosh, i'm having so much fun with. Teasing each other, always saying to each other "i'm not goin to talk to you eveerr!!", insulting each other things in a good way and etc .. :) and she is always giggling, laughing, and smiling at something. She is also ever ready to teach me whenever i need help! The best part is Bridget's best friend, Jia Xin is back from Australia too. I always eavesdrop at their "LOUDDD!" conversation and end up laughing seeing how they bampu each other. haha.. Working life is so FUNN!

On a random note, i'm going back this Friday for Douglas's wedding. This the 2nd time i'm going back by KTM and i'll be sleeping on bunk BED. Ohhh!! Eyes please close, brain please rest, train don't be so bumpy, and give me a good trip back, i beg of you!

That's all for now! God Bless All Of YOUUU!
