Before the Dawn - Infinite
So I taught the first ever K-Pop dance I learnt, complete with an impromptu beginning with Akili.
Workshops are always fun.

Perfectly summarizing all the types of hypersensivities I have to learn. Which was well, explained in an hour.
I love youtube, and the geniuses behind videos like these.
Enjoying good hair days as they come!
Apparently a fringe and this particular hair shape makes me look younger.
…also my aunt said I should experiment with highlights because I can only do it when I’m young. So there’s a bit of brown and red in there somewhere.
Actually quite happy with how my hair turned out, especially since I was skeptical of chopping off a good load of it (that managed to clog her vacuum cleaner when she tried to clean it up…oops).
To end the post, I must highlight the perks of having a hairdresser family friend. Thanks A. Loo See!
Extremely glad that I made the cut to work in RVC’s labs for 8 weeks this summer! I’ll be investigating growth rates of bone-derived cells under influences of different growth factors, in hopes to find the specific factor that causes cancerous cells to grow and evolve at a faster rate in dogs.
The thought of playing a small part in the quest to document more about cancer (and maybe leading to better therapy development) is exciting and I cannot wait to work with some of the best lecturers/researchers that RVC has.
I’m generally quite a clumsy person eventhough I really mean to be detailed and precise, so I’m hoping this won’t hinder my progress too much.
Steady hands Isabelle, steady hands!
Snapshots: Milton Keynes Marathon 2013!
This morning, for the first time, I believed it could happen.
Truth be told, I gave up on governments and the hopes for a better country way back in high school. I closed myself off from the political world, with intention of avoiding continuous disappointment with news of corruption.
But things were different this morning. I was filled with optimism as I anticipated change among the Malaysian government and their corrupt ways during the General Elections. But all I was filled with by the end of the day was disappointment.
Disappointment, not in the people, but in my country. Disappointment in those that govern my country.
I would have never thought that one would abuse their power TO THAT EXTENT to stay in power. The lies and the open cheating amongst everything else they have been doing for years, continues to haunt me. Yes, we as citizens have not succeeded these elections to bring about complete government change, but that does not mean we have failed. By popular votes, our dissatisfaction in the current government was made known, and I daresay more citizens are becoming increasingly aware of the government’s shortcomings. Baby steps.
Today I witnessed the all the people of Malaysia unite for change. People working together in protecting the future of our country. This re-instilled the patriotism in me.
Malaysia is my country too. The future of Malaysia is my responsibility too, no matter how small an influence I may have as a single person. The country can change and move forward, if we made an effort to do something about it. Continuously be aware and raise awareness.
Let the government run the country then. They will never truly rule the people. Change is coming, and I believe, in time, it will.
A “Back to work now” manages to hit me so hard, and I still can’t help feeling slightly sad. I never thought I could feel like this just by missing someone. I feel absolutely dependent by not being able to wake up and go through the day without the thought of you lingering in my mind no matter what I do. And just thinking about how this summer is going to be absolutely torturous for me being halfway across the world isn’t the best thought for me at the moment.
I shouldn’t and I shan’t say a word, because it will be my turn soon, and the reverse will take place, but I still can’t help feeling slightly sad.
Happy thoughts fill me for now, its just temporary and only for the best!
It will come to a point where you cannot possibly take anymore stress. Stress from exams, stress from deadlines, stress from anything.
You’ll cry, or at least, I did cry.
You’ll try so hard to smile, or at least, I did try.
You’ll keep trying to convince yourself its not that bad, or at least, I did that.
You’ll stay strong, or at least, I will.
To stay strong, not just for your own sanity, but for everyone around you too. I guess you’ve just got to keep thinking positively, thinking of the happier times in life, and how everything, when you’ve given up being strong, is right in the world again - where you don’t need to be.
