An "Icky" Christmas

Don't ask about the title. I got the idea from a friend of mine. "Icky" because I'm sick...on Christmas week! Great. Just great. So, I guess it really is an icky Christmas for me this year. Full of mucus and tissues. Bounded to my bed for all eternity. I won't say much in this short update, because: A)...

my *biology* experience

Biology was my "thing". An interested browse through my high school results yielded some interesting data. As a trend, Biology was my worst science subject (more times than not). Physics was my best, and Chemistry was somewhere in the middle. I guess Biology really was one of those subjects where you...

why i chose to study *this*

After another extensive period of neglect, I am "officially" back to blogging. I have finished the first year of my degree and successfully discarded the title of "Fresher". This semester (my second one) was definitely hectic. But I managed somehow, at the obvious expense of halting all blogging activities. A solution that I AM trying to put into practice is micro-blogging. No, not Tumblr. But just...

squirrelzzzz r us.

Just to let you know, things at uni are getting pretty hectic. I've got my "major assignments" for all my units. So it's time to start working hard! But before that, let me just yell 'Congrats' to all my friends back home, who've just had their first week of uni. I hear cries of anguish already. I...

roasted turkey and cranberry sauce

Like the title? It's a style taken from a TV show I'm currently watching. Please Like Me. No, I mean THAT is the name of the show. Didn't see that coming? Yeah, I get that a lot. Anyways. If you've been "following" me on Facebook, you would've known that I've been admitted into the hospital a few days...

shame in academia

Time to put on your academic glasses! Because this blog post is gonna be science-y. This will be my take on Science Communication. I think Scie. Comm is interesting. Well, it LOOKS interesting. More than my Environmental Economics stuff anyway. So here's a short review of the latest scandal in science. Has...

and so it begins

Phew. So far, its only Thursday and I'm already beat. So far it's been, 1 online quiz, 1 in-class quiz, 1 assignment and 1 presentation. It's like Semester 1 all over again! Except it's only Week 4. Not looking forward to future assignments. Also, I've only attended 3 lectures this week. Skipped almost/more...

a day in the life of a .first-day-of-uni student

It's Friday, and I've successfully made it through the first week of Uni. Fun fun fun fun, looking forward to the weekend. But now I'm at the library. Chilling. #NerdLife First day of Uni always feels great. You feel/think you're gonna do a great job. A new semester. A new beginning. You're gonna study...

rev. it up

Has anyone ever heard of Rev. ? It's a TV show about a rev. And in case you don't know what a rev is, perhaps you'll know what a reverend is. Rev is similar to reverend in that they are the exact same thing. What makes the two different is that "rev" is spelt with only 3 alphabets. As you...

mr. innovative

Hello Everyone. How have you all been ? (I mean it. Please answer the aforementioned question.) If you still refuse the answer the question, fine. But I'll just go on and tell you how I've been. I feel great ! So in a week, I've managed to turn down a "wonderful business opportunity", do some reading, volunteer...
