The shape of my heart

I often think that love comes in different shapes and sizes. As you grow, your love to your family, to your friend, and to that special someone develop as well.
I love my sister. I know that she will get well, and I believe in her. I know that she is trapped in her world and one day she will find the way back to us.
I love my mother. She is strong, but she needs my support in this crisis. I love my father, even though he can be very difficult sometimes. I don't know whether this is a sign of becoming an adult, but I try to help all the people around me. I try to work hard at work.
Today I have done the control experiment and discover that there's no space in the incubator so give up in doing anything further. I will complete everything tomorrow if I have enough time and continue the following day if needs to. I will try to complete the catch-up experiments this week. I also have to collect the information about how many plate that I have used in the company so expenses can be calculated.
Just have to remember to turn the fumehood off, otherwise the lady will be fuming. Haha. I am mean sometimes.

Okra, Around the World, and Dark Angel

This weekend I had the pleasure to listen to the contemparay music performance of Okra in Academy of Performing Arts in Waikato University. The concert is very different to your classical number with polished techniques of individual players and perfect harmony in an orchestra. Modern music can be as soothing as the sound of water, as out of this world as aliens floating as jellyfish in the sea, and as the wind that blows over the land of Aotearoa. This concert pays homeage to New Zealand music. Many pieces had been performed on the stage for the first time in the world. Beautiful, sad, and full of emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed this concert.
Drank coffee with Dark Angel and his friend Star Sky Pianist. We talked of non-sense and what we are going to do in the summer holiday.
Meanwhile, Dr.'s Around the World ball was on the other side of the Academy. Dancing, eating, drinking, people in kimono, sari, silk, turban, and flag of U.S. of A are all having fun. Looks like they are having the time of their life. I took a picture with Dr. in her purple dress. Breath-taking.
Drove to Hamilton Gardens to check how the season is affecting the flowers and shrubs. I took the names of some herbs that we may want to grow in our garden from the Edible Garden section. This place always reminds me of the Greenhouse in Harry Potter books. I love gardening!
The Baby Shower went well. My friend loves my presents. I am also enjoying my new watch. It has 5 butterflies! The face of the watch is pink, with silver butterfly, and band is purple with butterflies as decoration. Cool, huh?
Today is going slowly. I have met Star Sky Pianist outside of the music department. Dark Angel I saw yesterday after the baby shower. He has to study for his test on Wednesday.
I will sterilise PBS and get rid of the plates in university, then go back to work to grow bacteria. I will go to swim after work. Tonight will watch Johnny English. Looks like a very funny movie. Hope it is interesting.

Drama

Saturday is supposed to be drama free, but up until now I have ran after someone without my shoes on, drive dangerously on the road, and sweep a large yard full of rubbish. My Saturday is full of drama and I am too tired to go into details right now.
Small achievement yesterday, though. I have written some funny stories on my Chinese blog site. Check them out if you have time.
I don't know what will happen later this day. Let the drama unfold.

The grand design

I have come to the conclusion that I must be a workoholic right now. I have spent this whole week working on filling in gaps for my experiment and completing the introduction of my thesis. I am right on track now. I am doing too much so my workmate can't use the equipment! I must remember there are other people in the lab as well and share with them. That's the way it goes.
On a lighter note, I have been going to concerts and parties with my friend K. I am very happy. He is swamped by work as well. Four assignments! Teachers don't believe that we are humans, we are just machines that research, type, and roll out homework like a robot! Whew...I am glad that I am over undergrduate at this stage, but my thesis...it is still in tatters. It is still in my head. I am trying to make it better right now, hope I will succeed soon. I have to finish it! I have to complete everything early. Constant writing next few months.
The NaNoBlogMo is coming up as well. This year I am so ready to write a story that I can't wait for 1 October. I have that story in my mind that I want to type on my computer. I want to write it down with my pen. I want to create something that is beautiful and ugly at the same time. I want to leave something for my fellow humans to read and enjoy. I want to write a good story. That's not going to be easy, but since a lot of people are doing it, why don't I do it, too?

Jazz, guitar, blue, and New Orleans

The university international students put up "Operation New Orleans" today, selling food and accessories to help the victims in Cyclone Katrina. We are also treated with two hours of Jazz and blue music. I love Jazz! They played my favourite song.
I meet K in front of National Bank and we ate some food there. Met up with his music schoolmate and went to a guitar duo concert in Academy of Performing Arts. "Ephenstephen" is a great duo, I like espeically Penny Lane (The Beatles), and Spiral Ecllipse. Spiral had a passage full of emotion and love. Penny Lane is a cute little song.
Fuzzy is still very sick, but her doctor said that she will be able to come home today. !!!!!I don't know what to say!!!!! We have to try to take care of her somehow, but I don't really know how. We will see how it goes when she comes home.
The weather is getting better now. I hope it will hold until the weekend so I can mow the lawns. It is very unpredictable.
