In Beijing!

Ah so all I needed was to figure out a way to set up school Vpn on my tablet then can use Facebook blogspot all these alr. Yayy! These few days the weather's quite nice, it can even go under 20C at night. How awesome. I had imagined a lot of phlegm spitting and poop everywhere, but I didn't see much of those. I did witness a kid urinating at the doorstep of a shopping mall. Haha. But I was pretty shocked when i found out that many public toilets here do not have locks! How awkward. And v smelly for some reason. Oh well. Guess I'll get used to it sooner or later. Enjoying my tour now! If only school didn't start so soon :/

Listening to emo songs in lab T.T

无聊的自拍！^_^

I'm the only fyp student left in lab now boo. And it's not because im busy doing stuff ( haha ya i know if i were busy working i wouldn't have the luxury of blogging), im waiting for my 2 strands of cDNA to finish synthesizing to build my cDNA library. It sounded so easy when they taught it back in JC, but in reality it costs like a few thousands for the kits required and pretty time consuming. I feel quite bad for spending so much on my project but i really don't get much results :( I realise it's quite peaceful listening to emo songs now, its like i can feel the emotions better in this quiet office.

On a sidenote, I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP :D So thankful and happy!!

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!
