i've got myself a rabbit!

It hasn't snowed today, which was kinda disappointing because I was hoping to get lots of snow today. But guess what! I think I've got myself a rabbit..well, sort of. Woke up this morning and was soooo glad to see the snow covered the entire garden behind my apartment. I was trying to take pictures with my webcam when I saw this brown hump at the root of the tree. It's a rabbit! I don't know how long it was there but it's still there when I looked a while ago..and that's about 12 hours already! It doesn't seem to move a single step at all either. I wonder if the snow can keep it warm or the rabbit just likes the view of my window because that's what it does the entire day!

Just told my parents that we broke up...they were really supportive but I can sense that my grandma is really disappointed. But it's better this way now that it's out in the open. If we're meant to be, I'm sure we'll cross path again. Now all I have to do is get over it...we talked today..nothing in particular but he was being really sweet. Makes me miss him so much but I'm just glad that we can still talk and share something. In a way, he'll always be with me.

it's snowing!!!

i can't believe it! It's only end of November and it's already snowing! What a change from last year. I was completely unprepared for the weather that it took me to a surprise. I was busy all morning trying to pellet my tiny E. coli so that I can store them in the freezer over the holiday and have everything prepared when I go back on Monday. It wasn't until past 1pm that I finally got to sit down and start filling up my lab report that I look out the window and guess what??? It's snowing! It must have snowed for quite sometime already because the grass and roofs were already covered with a thin layer of snow. Can you imagine that? My entire lab has a huge window that look out over the west side of the campus and I did not realize what's going on outside until half the day is gone. But anyway, I'm still excited that it's snowing. It is soooooo beautiful outside that I can just stand there looking at the snow flakes fall - a moment of nature's gift that will always capture my heart away.

The campus had also gotten really quiet after lunch. The BPS (biomedical and physical sciences) building was almost deserted this morning it felt like I was in the wrong building. Even in the lab, everyone started leaving at about 3pm. Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing here. The snow made it kinda hard for some people who have to drive hours to reach home..hopefully Hannah made it just in time..but I still think that it's wonderful to be snowing! It'll probably be 3 inches by tonight I think.

I have drained myself so much this past 3 days that I'm ready to just relax and not worry about any datelines or lagging behind in lectures, which I still am but library is closed already (yeap! that's the best excuse I can give myself). So I ordered chinese food! It's 'char siew fan'. Haven't tried it before but hopefully it'll be close to what we can get back home. Then I get to watch "A Walk To Remember". I've been wanting to watch it ever since I bought the book..it's a really touching story.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

first entry...

it's a perfect night outside today. Not too cold for a walk and stars shining bright, which usually would cheer me up (I'm all about nature). But the mood to go out is not there. Just found out something unpleasant, which is probably nothing serious but the first look sure hurts enough to make me wanna lock myself up and never go out again.

But thanks to a great friend, she kept my mind away from what's bothering me and later got me to loosen up and try to make sense out of what's happening. We've known each other for a really long time..heck, we even go to the same primary school and never knew that until we met in secondary school! But we've only recently became close. We were buddies at one time in high school when I was a prefect and we had to work closely together. We then lost touch except for a 'long-long-one-time' gathering until we met again sometime during summer this year in M'sia when I was back for a vacation. Caught her on Yahoo! messenger and that has been one of the few best thing that have ever happened to me since I came here! She listens to me, talk sense into me, gets tormented by me and a lot more that a true friend would do. She's also the reason I decided to do this..it's still new to me but I guess I'll know if I like doing this once I get the hang of it.

Hei girl, thanks a whole bunch!
