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.
