I'm back

to pu ling xi ji er xi residence.
yeap, after a big round if changes and everything,
i'm finally back. this time is R1.
i have stayed in every R's that offer typeC room,
for the past 3 and half years.
can't believe this is my first and my last home in my undergrad years.

went back home last friday to momo, dad and si gemuk.
and to my super comfy sofa and astro.
i ate and ate like 4 meals a day since friday afternoon..
and met some of my long time no see friends, and
some very very close friends..
yeap, it is true when they say time change
people changed.
what they mostly talked is,
"what is your plan after you grad? lab work pay good or not?"
being me, i will reply
"i will fly to Bahamas and sun bath facing the Caribbean sea. and YES lab work pay is very goood~~*insert smug look*"
but, no unfortunately i didn't replied in that manner.
sigh~ cuz both replies are not true.

if you look too much into the future,
you tend to loose hold of the present.
i would rather be happy
than worrying whats going to happen, worrying
whether i will get a job, how much is my pay..etc.
ishhh.. i totally dislike ppl making salary comparison.
for God sake la, success is not just = $$$ + slk + condo + whatever smug..
success is = $ + making a difference before you die + happy at what you do + finding your true love =)

I think I have found my lover boy, I'm currently enjoying the learning process
but I'm on my way to make a difference from science.
from medicine, sickness, diseases, educating the people.

there, i digress again..6 hrs of sleep. ciao.

Labo Ecouter

i don't know about other honours students..but for me the past 3 months have been..
i would say..worth it, memorable and crazy with the capital F-U-N.
First it is the project runaway.
The one the everyone wants to anxiously complete and progress to graduation.
Yes the elusive fyp project outcome is getting nearer..and nearer.
How i do, re-do and over-do a single experiment until I can close one eye and do it.
haha..sounds a bit boring, but each time I learn how to make my techniques better,
I learn how to trouble-shoot and be more cautious when dealing with degradable products,
I even modify the manufacturer protocols so I get better yield.
And that I would say is an invaluable learning experience.
And it's not from the text book. =)

Second is tha boss.
Yes, the one who guided me along since day one.
She is very demanding, charming on everyone and on herself.
But still, she can lay on src swimming complex in her bikini after a hard day work.
You don't see a middle age female associate prof go swimming in her bikini.
And wear miniskirt and Prada hills. And those big chunky necklace and earings.
Well, she's French and French people never dress down. Never.
At least I see her smiling everyday, maybe is the grant..thee hee.
That's why we got free spinelli pastries, muffins and coffee for breakfast. =)

And third is the lab mates.
The super enthusiastic group of science people who love to eat and sing K.
But for the science part, they are supportive mentors.
I would say we work like a big team, cuz our projects are inter-linked.
And we recently got addicted to nitendo wii
after having played in adrian's house. haha.
And we're all geared up for our next bowling session. =)
The fight against all labs in IP. We aiming for no.3 spot.
Why? Cuz FredWong's and MikeKem's lab are gonna top the 2 spot. isshh.

And so I heart Cels.

nostalgia

my dear beloved cells, pls don't die on me...=( sigh

vicious cycle

the vicious cycle. nothing interesting.
woke up with extended snooze on my alarm.
running for D bus when it rear out from business school.
queuing for spinelli's white roast coffee. or if i'm running late..
i'll just have my handy 3 in 1 nescafe.
climb up the freaking slope from sci lib to ahu to brenner centre to cels.
wait for the lift door operator that says 'level 3'.
tap my matric card on the detector, grab my log book and off i go with my white coat.
sit in front of the bsc in my blue surgical gown. so not sexy.
check on my 'babies' in the incubator.
rush down the freaking slope again for toxicology lec. eww.
problem based learning assignments. multiple that to 3.
tumor biology essay. pharmacogenetics presentation.
means lots of deadlines...and lots of journals.
protocols for boss. log book entry. lab meetings.
oh shit. and lit review.
and revision. almost forget bout it.
and time for the bf. for the family. for friends. for myself.
and time for bobby au young criminal investigation file part II drama.
ahhh..he's da man!

i need 48 hrs a day. i need to get off this cycle. at least for a while. 8 more months, i can wait.
and after that, i'm going somewhere far.............far from here.

Throw my hands up and let it go

Forget about everything and runaway yeah..

That's what Avril sang to me!! my Fav song from here~~
I just had to say: She's damn cute and cute and cute!! Not the Japanese cute but the very cool and sexy cute! And I can't believe she's married. I'm loving pink and black combination now. Haha.
The concert was opened by some dancers and some sg band and THE MUTTONS from 98.7fm. And we waited and waited and waited...and finally this small little blonde-pink hightlight gal jump out into the stage..the crowd just go wild~~

Alrite snappies!

She sings, she plays the guitar, she plays the piano and she totally rocked on the drums!!!

Happy meal=) I had a great week. Nuff said.

To all of my friends; friends who are still mugging their way for the degree/masters/phd, friends who had to go through fyp lab nightmare, friends who are in the work force, friends who are on their way chasing their hopes and dreams, friends who are having examination, friends who are courting a girl/guy, friends who are having problem with their gf/bf/boss or other friends and not to forget the sister who had to face so many pbl and exams and whatever in her studies..
here's a nice song lyric by Diana Ross for you guys.

Don't loose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away

Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end

Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm out hearts, everyone

Celebration

Finally settled down in KR, well not bad kind of spacious with lots of cabinets and storage place.. but still, it's just temporary. The room is facing a nice pine tree i think, and very quiet during the day so i got no complaints..=) And bee has been very very kind to me these few days..I think I'm seriously blessed.. although sometimes you get a bit whiny and get on my nerves, but I still lurve you nonetheless..Happy 14 months. We promised each other to have an amazing life together, lets make it happen with a capital A!

After some round of intensive lab session, I finally get my break. For 2 and a half days. So I could organize and read through all my messy notes, and re-write my pharmacogenetics lecture cuz I was practically dozing off in Ed Lee's class. He is the worst worst worst lecturer I've ever encountered after Leslie Harisson. rraahh.


I'll just gonna let my hair down and sing my heart out this Sunday. So loved.

PS: Happy birthday YinFong, Hang Hang and Annabelle..and Liren thanks for the surprise again!!
