心情点滴

心情点滴

平时常走的那条Can A bus stop 到Hall 16 的小径只需五分钟， 那天，我却用了30分钟。我和一位菲禄宾女生扶着一位行动不便, 拿着拐杖的老伯， 一步一步的走向hall3. 老伯应该有重听，我问的问题好像都是答非所问。

一开始， 老伯就半开玩笑的告诉我们：this is my christmas gift. I fell down during Christmas. 问他为什么来NTU, 老伯说来看他的孙子。 一听到这， 心里好想骂人， 有没有搞错，让你爷爷大老远来这看你， 却不下来接他。 我原以为他的孙子就读ntu. 聊着聊着，却听到老伯说：My son is the professor here, stay in Hall 3. Teaching Chemical Engineering. He is very smart. Take scholarship , study phd in USA. I come here to visit my grandson. He is six yrs old this year. Next year going to Pri 1.

心顿时凉了， 如果是Prof， 应该有能力让你爸爸搭德士来看你吧。 那条路不好走， 看着老伯喘气， 很幸苦， 但多累都坚持下去， 我的心看了很酸。虽然不知道什么原因， 毕竟家家有本难练的经， 不过真的希望下次再看到这老伯， 他的脚已经复原， 开心的探望他的孙子。

Back to my story about my lab life. One sentence: Getting tired, getting late but getting learnt. Not to praise myself.. hehe, but i'm getting better lab skill, esp my pipetting [ i need to pipette almost 50 times per day, so obviously dont compare me to my neuro lab terrible experience].

But then, I'm getting tired of the life. Like a working life right now, even worse, it seemed like a long time I didn't take any nap. Morg 9 something in lab, there starts and goes my whole day until 7pm. I don't have any energy to do research after the lab work, this is freaking. Now i know the meaning of no life. Tired yet clinging on the urge to learn more, which comes first in my heart, this is a real tough question.

In fact, I enjoy to do the lab work esp alone. No one bother, I manipulate the whole experiment, trying this and that, use equipments, throw pipette tips like they are free. But not now after I know the price of all those pipette tips etc. You know, the LB medium which used to grow bacteria, smell much like the baby milk where the main ingredient yeast extract looks like the milk powder cost more than a typical milk powder in Market. 1 kg for S$60 over. Not to mention the protein cost. Shit. And after knowing all these, I try to do my experiment more careful.

That's all for the moment now. Update soon.

Before the dawn of 2009

Before the Dawn of 2009

Time flies... Can't imagine 2008 is going to the end. It passes so fast that i didnt realise.
2008 is a memorable year to me. The first time to go backpack. First time take flight.

Yet, many things happened in 2008, in this world . Nature disaster. China Poisonous milk powder. The economic crisis that drags on. Obama as US president. Many more incidents which worsen the world.

And among frens. I would say it's like a U-turn back to the starting point. Not yet understand the meaning behind it, but realise people change, friends change, and mindset will change too. Sometimes, you starting to doubt the real person of your friend. I'm getting immune to these changes. In fact, I would rather say, friends are important to me; but not the most important person.

And to summarise my holidays. Believe it or not, i finish 3 "Season" of Heroes in the month of Dec. =p, and many more movies which I would update when free. If I have any power to choose, forget about Sylar or Peter abillity, just a particular power to choose from, I think I will pick 'the master of times and space' =D. Then, i can fix any mistakes from the past. Great !

Just list out the movies I had watched in this Dec.
1. Twilight
2. Madagascar 2
3. 1408
4. The Orphanage
5. Bolt
6. Record
7. Harry Potter
8. can't remember

Lab.Life

Lab life is just like that. The first week in lab, not knowing well about the environment, not good PR, not pro in everything make me feel so helpless and stupid.

I'm trying. I hope my PhD guidance won't regard me as a troublemaker, i don't mean it. But seemed like I'm born with it. Kinda prone to mess thing up accidentally.

I will grab this chance to learn thing. I will. Maybe end up I like research work? A big question mark. Maybe that's is my last attempt. Who knows how's the ending. So, no matter I will be in this field or not. Keep learning to upgrade my skills. I know i got very lousy lab skill. So, whoever so sui to guide me, please put some patience.

Went to Fortune Cuisine buffet (steamboat + bbq) for Chih Ping bday celebration. A nice place for dining frankly speaking. Great variety.Fresh food. and nice service. 9/10 overall. It's a lucky thing to sit with wg n jj n ky because I just sit there eat n eat n eat. They won't let me lay a finger in doing the bbq core job, great! Wat's more, sitting with a carnivore group makes the buffet worth any penny of dollar. You just can't see any sign of vegetables, not even the cheap stuff like fishball, crabroll etc. what you can see is just plates of seafood. =) They really know how to eat and what to eat.

And it seemed like a long time since we last gathered to play angles and demons. I miss the times back in Year 1.

Ar. My final sem in NTU. Ending of my university life. so fast and yet so memorable. Let's make the final sem here beautiful and memorable =)

I finished 2 seasons of Heroes in 1 week. Amazing !

~-----~

Back to the little small island yesterday. No choice, if I dun start the project ASAP, I will either lazy to death at home or my supervisor ll come look for me. and I dun wan to bother my dear supervisor for that.

Bring mummy to Orchard road, together with 4 See siss , aunty siew jin n her boy. Orchard road looks nice, with the decorations and the atmosphere. Bring mummy to 'visit' the branded shops at Takashimaya. LV, Channel, Burberry... u name it, we go in. Quite funny to hear mum repeatingly saying,"aiyo, buy one bag, convert to RM, takes my whole month salary.. my goodness." could see she enjoyed touching those furred coat, dunno izit genuine or faked animal fur. ok, i promise if i earn big $ in future, I ll buy one for her.
