7th of January 2007

I have been slacking a lot for the past few weeks ever since the end of my genetics exam on the 20 Dec 2006. That is why there are so many blogs about dramas that I watched. Think tomorrow will be the day to recharge myself again and I foresee that this semester will be a very hectic one.

I must say that I am a person who is easily overwhelmed by emotions and stress. Sometimes even foreseeing the stress makes me sad. Haha.. but i guess it is time to grow up and learn to cope with such things. Must always remember that if "黑夜如果不黑暗 美梦又何必向往". =)

I was trying to write my new year resolution by looking at my new year resolution for 2006. And I realize that actually none of the resolutions have changed. haha... so well, i should just cut and paste them in here. =P

Friends:1) Keep old friends.
- Write a list of friends who I want to stay in touch and ask them out often for dinners.
- Learn to treat friends the way that they feel most comfortable with. Note the difference in opinions between them and me ba and dun try to impose my opinion on them.

2) Have new friends.
- Have friends that think similarly as me. Haha.. so that I will know that I am not the one big weirdo who thinks different from the rest of the world. (Have to thank two friends who are there to share my views so that I feel more assured about my stand and more determined to assert my opinion.)
- Have friends who think differently as me. Learn to accept differences. So that life will be more interesting.

Personal:
1) Improve on communication skills by reading more, talking more.
2) Learn to get comfortable with talking to more people. Learn to ignore remarks that I cannot stand.
3) Brush up on my formal mask. The mask that I wear while interacting with people i work with, collegues, lab people, etc.
4) Build up self-esteem and self confidence, courage, optimism and of course my happiness index.
5) Learn as much as I can. Overcome the stagnation of my learning curve.
6) Be less affected by what other people say.

Graduate School and Research:
1) Find a good lab, project and advisor.
2) Get along with Lab people.
3) Good housing.
4) Good courses.
5) Have faith that I will be a good researcher and work hard towards the goal.

Others:
1) Let Mian Mian and Yang Yang be happy always.
2) Faith, study and practice.

Have been thinking about the meaning of life and how to cope with death sometimes. Hmm.. but i guess i have been reached any conclusion yet. Will think about it more.
