This time I'll be bulletproof.

Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
my informations just not going in,
burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,
I'm not turned off to love until it's cheap,
been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
to walk away from something when it's dead,
do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are hurt?,
there's certain things that should be left unsaid,
tick tick tick on the watch and life's too short for me to stop,
Oh baby, your time is running out,
I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
All you do is fill me up with doubt,

This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof

Bulletproof - La Roux

in memory of you.

I Would Have Given You All Of My Heart
But There's Someone Who's Torn It Apart
And She's Taking Almost All That I've Got
But If You Want, I'll Try To Love Again
Baby I'll Try To Love Again But I Know

The First Cut Is The Deepest, Baby I Know
The First Cut Is The Deepest
'Cause When It Comes To Being Lucky She's Cursed
When It Comes To Lovin' Me She's Worse
But When It Comes To Being Loved She's First
That's How I Know

The First Cut Is The Deepest, Baby I Know
The First Cut Is The Deepest

I Still Want You By My Side
Just To Help Me Dry The Tears That I've Cried
Cause I'm Sure Gonna Give You A Try
And If You Want, I'll Try To Love Again
But Baby, I'll Try To Love Again, But I Know

The First Cut Is The Deepest, Baby I Know
The First Cut Is The Deepest

'Cause When It Comes To Being Lucky She's Cursed
When It Comes To Lovin' Me She's Worse
But When It Comes To Being Loved She's First
That's How I Know

The First Cut Is The Deepest, Baby I Know
The First Cut Is The Deepest

to those who fight for their lives, for their family, for their country, and for peace.

EXAMS

"In the chaos, in confusion I know You're sovereign still

In the moment of my weakness You give me grace to do Your will

When You call, I wont delay

Its my song through all my days

There is no one else for me, none but Jesus

Crucified to set me free, now I live to bring Him praise.

All my delight is in You Lord!

All of my heart, all of my strength

All my delight is in You Lord..

Forevermore." None but Jesus - Hillsongs United Live

"And all that I am, unto You I surrender,

Lord there is none like You.

I know that I stand in the Arms of forever

Lord there is none like You." All - Hillsongs United Live

Lord, I thank You for You have been extremely good to me that words cant even describe how amazed I am. You never fail to lift me up whenever I breakdown. These songs always remind me of how I can only find all my answers, my needs and my comfort in You. There is in fact, nobody like You! No one can do it like You, Lord. Whenever I call You, You always answer. And You never fail to come to my rescue.

I could never exchange anything else in this world for Your love dear Lord.

a faint whisper from God

Therefore in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me, but He said to me,

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in your weakness."

For when I am weak, then I am strong

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

RANDOM STUFF.

I am currently stuck in the library. For the past 8 and a half hours to be exact.

EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS PEOPLE!!

I am still trying too hard to concentrate studying. And my eyes are gonna pop out anytime soon, its not even funny.

Exams are in like 12 days to be exact. And seriously I am still slacking since the day I had my Chemo exam (which was like what, 2 and a half weeks ago?)

I seriously have to get my A** back in focus for finals... after running in the field 873 times and jumping up and down 2038 times to get my blood circulation going again. Gahhhhhh! *drowns*

As some of you girls know, Libra brand sanitary products have a very interesting feature - instead of the normal pattern printed adhesive linings, their adhesive linings are printed with random facts. I thought it was interesting how when a girl sits in the toilet, and feeling all pain and cramped up, there is something entertaining to read on the sanitary pads before putting them on.

One of the most random facts I came across was: Tuna suffocate when they stop swimming.

Gee.

through a fisheye.

Chemo exam was over last Friday. Not so looking forward to Compounding Exam next Monday as well as Dispensary Exam. =( Sigh. The pressure of repeating these exams again is tremendous. I remembered I did super badly in Chemo exam last year (I left most of the answer sheets blank) but thank God, I dunno was it because God decided to be super merciful to me, almost half of the paper was the same as last year's. Whee! But. I didnt quite nail it. Oh well.


I just stumbled upon this ilecture thingy for Pharmaceutics and the main topic was about generic medicines and patents.. Well from what I know, back in where I work at in Gosnells Pharmacy, these fussy and whiny oldies would come in asking for THE BEST BRAND or THE GOOD BRAND. Come on. Generic medicines are equally the same! Same active drug, same strength, same dosing, and even the same tablet excipients. The only difference is the brand. Yet they are much cheaper than the branded ones. Sometimes we try to sneak the generic medicines into their lot of tablets and get away with it (HA-HA) so it would be much affordable for them, but yet, some of them make a big fuss when we switch them to the less expensive brand (cuz they all want THE GOOD BRAND) and yet complain about how they always spend so much on medicines.


Speaking of Pharmaceutics, this year's lectures are so much different from last year's. More theory, less calculation. Good or bad, I cant decide either. LOL.


I finally managed to scan a copy of the pictures I took with my fisheye camera Bernice gave me on my 22nd birthday. I honestly think that the pictures in the 2nd roll of film looks better than the 1st. Hehe. Here's some:

of reunions.

Believe it or not, our beloved Raja Noor Hazmar is in Perth!!

Easter break is still on so we managed to meet up along with Limmy.

Thought that it would be great to bring her to see the city. Well, as we all know, there isn't much in Perth City itself. So we had David Jones sushi (I reckon thats the best place you can get your salmon sashimi fix.. hehe) and bubble tea after that.

The fun part was taking REALLY random pictures in King's Park. Cant get anymore random than that. Haha. Well, I'm still waiting for our beloved Ja to upload our pictures on facebook from her wonderful DSLR. LOL. I'm so gonna get one for myself!
