Burn midnight oil FTW!

Just updated this blogging app and realised I haven't been blogging in a long long time. Time just flies past in Beijing, especially now that it's winter and the sun sets so early :/ just had my first ever exam in Beijing, and it didn't go too well. Really takes time to adapt to the teaching style and life here in general. And heh, winter isn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be in warm sunny Singapore. It's really troublesome to bundle up like a rice dumpling only to take it all off in the warm classroom. And its really wet and cold when it rains and snows, almost impossible to go out! We missed our favorite aerobics class cos of that :( k I just wanted to share how hard I'm mugging now (but I'm still blogging anyway -.-) and I hope I can stay awake till late! Mug ahhhh.

From Beijing!

Haven't been blogging for long! Vpn seems a bit shaky here, sometimes it doesn't work. Here the ISP is really smart. Now I'm in lesson but its so boring i have to do smth else. Haha. So i Whatsapp ed my mum and told her about all the new cooking skills I've learnt from the girls. Then she told me to pay attention in class-.-

I took that photo in the condo garden! Really nice surroundings right. Always feel so happy when i reach home. I still miss my home though. Now I can appreciate what mum has always been doing for me. In Singapore, all I had to do was study. I didn't have to make my own meals, do my own laundry, clean the house, wash the dishes, and generally take care of all aspects of the house, like keep warm water always available and make sure the toilet doesn't clog. I think coming here has made me more independent. I am not afraid of washing the toilet bowl anymore! In fact I am kind of addicted to doing housework Cos its so satisfying to see a clean house :D oh yay lesson over we are going to kfc!!

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!
