No Line On the Horizon

Ok..so i forgot to bring my camera to the microbe party, and therefore any interesting and creepy pics can be viewed from Facebook via a friend album who tagged my ugly face in it!...Hah.

Been unduly busy this week..yikes..feel like time zoom pass very quickly in lab..sigh. I shall look forward to my December holidays! It's my second overseas trip with Liren, and well, we shall have many more to come! Talking about hols...me and Liren saw a pair of angmoh couple in JB custom, who looked extremely lost..And apparently, they walked towards the wrong direction to Singapore..So, we approach em telling them they walked the wrong way...well, then we chatted and coincidently they are also heading to Clementi. They are a pair of young French couple, whose English sounded so like my boss..creepy.. but what interests me is that they actually quit their job cuz their sick of it, pack their bags and head to south east asia and just don't give a damn about it. They guy once worked in South Sudan building water pipes for NGOs. Wow. Maybe one day, me and Liren will quit our job and travel to Bhutan or Mozambique for some serious soul searching..who knows, maybe we will! =)

"Stand by me...and darling darling stand by me"

I AM CURRENTLY WATCHING U2 LIVE FROM ROSE BOWL IN YOU TUBE CHANNEL-WOW!

I WISH I WISH THEY'D STOP BY SINGAPORE for their 360 deg tour!!!

Beautiful Nightmare

The department party is tomorrow! This year theme is "Nightmare on Mirobe Street"..chimm.. but as usual, we had fun preparing all the food... our lab is in charge of the Franco-Swiss food (cuz my boss is French), unlike last year where we need to convert the whole seminar room and walkway into a disco room.. This year is much exciting cuz we'll do Halloween! =) Pumpkins craft, witch brew and broomsticks.. As a tradition, we'll have to dress up our boss according to the party theme...It's a secret which will be revealed tmr! Ha, I hope she looks good tmr =)

Here's a little sneak preview of some of the stuffs we made..little blind mice..

Ermm..actually looks more like Jumbo elephant ler..ha

WITCH FINGERS......

Oh shit, my blog header is missing!! Now where did it go?? Urggh, looks like i gotta find one to fill the naked header. Yo fat sis, can you help me do it?? heheh

After all hype that Liren has been psycho-ing me to watch Inglorious Basterds with him, finally we went to watch it! Surprisingly it was a good piece work of Quentin Terantino, well of cuz he's good! A dark comedy, with a pinch of Hitler sarcasm, action, love, betrayal, horror.. all manufactured into a nice story. =) Overall, it's 2 thumbs up!

Postgraduate studies for the past 3 months have been a turmoil, many ups and many downs as well. But, I learnt a lot along the way and that's what education is all about, right? Often, many would assume that postgrad is hell lots of lab work (yes, it's true cuz you'll be handling more than 1 project) but it's also a training ground for you to be independent, responsible of your own project, critical and most importantly maintain good relationship with your labmates although some might pissed you off in between...and that's when your EQ often plays an important role. And, no you don't have to be a smart ass to excel in research. Hmm maybe a knack in presentation skills.. Anyway, one lab I've known with top scholars students produced no results and no publications for the past few years. Well, there is no textbooks or prepared notes in scientific research. You start from nothing, plan and troubleshoot from something, and finally be critical on the bench cuz there's no room for mistakes. Or else you got to start all over again..On top of that, you have to plan to save the lab resources and the environment as well. I have to say, sci research is an interesting job, like I said many ups and downs (negative results, no results, weird results, etc) maybe I'll get bored of it someday, and move on to another science arena..but what's important is the present. Living to the fullest at the present is much effective than dreaming about the future. Really. Cuz everything will fall into place by itself...

Adieu.

Hello Hello my officially dead blog! Damn, i typed the wrong password into this blog site. That resonates how looong it has been...ahh man, everytime i'm home from lab, I would lay down on the sofa just doing nothing. Like a dead fish. Except maybe moving my two fingers to scroll the webpages on bags, facebook, emails etc..Unless I'm being forced by Liren for jogging..

Apparently, there's a whole bunch of ppl that I've known getting married this month! So, there's definitely overkill of red wine and laughter....Congrats to Chuyin, Jasmin, to Grace my fellow lab da jie. Congrats to Delvin gor for his up-coming wed in Dec.. So when is mine? I don't know! When someone propose I guess?

What's interesting these days? Hmm, nothing much except that Barrack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and oh.. Avril Lavigne files for divorce..so much for her happy ending?
