Urghh blood.

Today I went for my checkup at sgh for the china visa. It was great to see so many of my friends again, after so long. All the tests done were pretty routine - eye, xray, ecg all those. But urghh although it didn't hurt while the nurse took my blood - she was pretty skillful I must say - I still went all wobbly at the sight of my blood flowing freely into the tubes. Don't like.

Then went for the scholarship interview. It was really v short! I estimate 5 mins, tops. guess they're not that interested in me :( still a good learning experience.

Now on my way back to lab! I've been ending really late these days, to catch up on the progress. Hope to get some results eventually! As far as I know nobody's going back to lab after the interview boohoo. I want to go out too!!!

Im always willing to believe in the good side of people, but sometimes I really don't understand why people do the things they do. We're all fellow human beings, but we can't understand each other in the same way. Guess this is why they say everyone is unique.

Long time no exercise!

Cos of my wisdom tooth I haven't exercised for quite some time, so I was v happy to go cycle at east coast! It was very nice weather too - it had rained the whole night and remained cooling the entire day. First time I didn't perspire and felt that the coconut drink was too cold. Haha. Oh and I watched the people fish at besom jetty for a while. I think there was a school of taman fish passing by - every time the line went in it came out with fish attached! How I wanted a rod to fish right there and then!

Can't sleep!

For some reason I was feeling really energetic last night and couldn't fall asleep long after I went to bed. The whole night I felt like I was in a light dream, half conscious half asleep. and now it's barely 7 and im wide awake?! What sorcery is this! Could it be the sudden overload of meat now that I can chew quite well! Ahaha. Not complaining. Still feels better than those few days post -op.

The interview with physician yesterday was rather scary. She was really serious when questioning and tested me a lot on tcm and its current status in Singapore and how I can change that. Big plans! But it was good experience la. I hope I'll make it thru, but if I don't, I'm still grateful for the chance to learn and improve my interview skills! K must stop thinking abt it its not helping my insomnia :(

why am i still feeling so lethargic! its not like i did a lot of work today. this meatless diet+medication combi is taking its toll on me. now i really dread taking out the teeth on the other side :( on a brighter note, i learnt how to extract rna today! all thanks to chun huat and yun shan being very patient with me and showing me what to do :D just love this lab and everyone in it, all v helpful ppl :) also haining always stays later than me to make sure everything runs well before leaving (just like today! i v bad i left earlier), so im really grateful to have him as a lab partner!

yayy reach cck alr meat here i come!

these days i keep feeling tired, not sure if its all the medication im taking for the tooth or just the lack of meat. alr anemic le still cannot eat meat, boo. so ive been sleeping really early these few nights and had a lot of weird dreams. too much time for sleep le-.- i dreamt we were being bombed yet all the survivals wanted to do was go swim..?!

today gonna go pluck some fresh plant for rna extraction. it all sounds v exciting! hope to get some nice spectrum for the plant!

Troll wisdom tooth. Sucks that it grew out horizontally and caused some problems so i had to get it out. so i went to the dentist today and got rid of both the top and bottom one on the left side. it was faster than i thought it would be! And the only thing that hurt was when the dentist injected anesthetics. Even then it wasn't too bad. It was just all the drilling and pulling that made me a little nervous. Now still biting on gauze and hope it'll stop bleeding soon. I'll prob need to do this again to get rid of the two on the right, sian.

Yest went for the EYS interview, i came out of it not knowing if i did well or if i managed to impress. Oh well. I did dress up for the interview though, and when i was standing at the traffic light and calling my mum, some guy kept smiling at me in a weird way and asked 'can i get to know u as a friend?' i went 'no' straightaway. He laughed and walked away. So I did look good huh *blush*. Then went to watch snow white with yixin at cineleisure orchard, and had the very overpriced shabu shabu for dinner. An enjoyable night!
