~I'm HOT~

YES!! I'm hot.



Not literally, cuz the weather these few days have been cold and rainy...Ahhh Choo!



Let me tell you why i am so HOT.



Life's so unfair~ Pui pui pui!



I spent the whole of last saturday and sunday in school until evening trying to learn some experimental techniques. In the end, half learnt, cuz everytime reach the last 2 steps, Mr. PhD gotta run. So he would tell me briefly what to do by sms-ing, and i spent the next 3 days trying it out (the last 2 steps and some basic techniques) as a practice.



Only TODAY, did i realise my last 2 steps were incorrect. Argh...


Q: And why like that?


Ans:Cuz everything is so haphazard. And when things are not in order, i feel unsettled. Naturally i will have lotsa of question. Afterall, it is the first week, and he left me all alone, to my own devices, while he bothers about


...his own stuff in his other lab....
+ 7 more FYPs...
+ 2 more JCs...




SO..the only way to ask him questions is to sms him lo. Then he typically takes abt 1 hour to reply. I tell you ah, if i wait for that reply, my setup chui already. And only he knows what to do.


...i trial and error lo. Sometimes, after i prepare halfway, he reply, then i realise it is a mistake, got to redo...Grrrr



Thensat to wed was a practice for my basic technique. Thurs i started the Full run of the experiment.


No results.


Friday i try again. But just to make sure i was doing it properly, i asked more questions then usual (4 smses + 2 calls...hohoho). Then i got reprimanded (sorta) for the incessant noise.


My fault?


Maybe i din pay enough attention. But each setup needs 7-8 hours at the very least. And it wasnt properly run through as a demo even once...Sigh....he is forever at his other lab.

--------------

On the other hand, my friend who is at the other lab which he is working, finds him very helpful. Of cuz la...Same lab, of cuz you ask him to help you look at your setup or ask questions easier to answer.


His target: 60 to 70% before school reopens.
And he din need to go back during the weekend...



同人不同命
What the fruitcake, watermelon, papaya, pineapple, rojak?!?




I think my target: 6 to 7 %. $*()@*()$*@()$@


Better still...i hope he finish 100%. Then i can get more attention from Mr. PhD....
---------------


2 days, 2 failed experiments, reason unknown. SOS down. Experimenter (me!!) feeling hot.


Gut feeling, intuition, 6th sense, luck, magic all faster come come! I need all of you!


Maybe Harry Potter can lend me a hand. =.=


...And i m still waiting for him to go online to talk abt my progress.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Razor eyes...

Sian... so tired...macam i go to war everyday...Lazy to upload my pics...So more mundane stuff...



Go to lab lor...what else... Usually reach the lab quite late, like 10 plus or 11 plus (for the past 2 days at least)...Then go back at 7 plus or 8 plus...Hohoho...



Have been squimming my eyes to look at my gold grid. The entire size of the grid could be as big as this: o, or slightly smaller. and Inside there are 100 more smaller squares grinning evily at me. Supposed to spread liquid crystal all over the squares, and the grid is filmsy. I can only say, it is not easy. I had to repeatedly tell myself:




"I LOVE CRYSTALS!!!"



But I love my eyes too T_T...If you get what i mean.


Me feels like taking a break leh...But then ah...when the other PhDs postgrad commented that i was working hard...Mr. PhD said




"Does she work as hard as i do?"

=.=



How many times must i repeat that my head is not permenantly damaged???



My passion for research is there, but nowhere near epitome, unlike him...Hohoho...Afterall, i need 8 hours of sleep (which is sometimes not sufficient, and he needs only 4 O.o)



Whoots~ Told him i need a break...So will be leaving in the afternoon on Wed...(Which is tmr...) cuz Mr. Soh can leave quite early too...I realise that i m charting my own progress too...Hohohohoho....O.T.O.T ^^ Whee!!



Have a break. Have a kit kat...

FYP...

FYP...
Feeling.Yup.Pathetic.



Got so many readings to do, but i read so darn slow...I think i can compete with a snail, and the snail will win...Grrr...and the snail will win me hands down.



My PhD student mentor told me

"I feel that we are still not talking at the same level you know...bla bla..."

...cuz i told him i havent finished his readings...Hohoho...



Did mama say that telling lies is no good?


And of cuz we are of different levels la!
Afterall, he, is of a Permenant.head.Damage calibre.
How can I be anywhere near???



Anyway, he wasn't free during the weekdays, so i went back to school on Saturday at 9 A.M.


...Someone tell me I am still in Paradise...



Had a late night on saturday night cuz i went with Mr. Soh to Changi Airport to welcome his family back from Shanghai...Their flight got delayed, by the time everyone settled down, was 4+ a.m. (FUN activity)



And i was to go to school on SUNDAY by 8 A.M (NOT FUN, NOT FUNNY ALSO)....I would prefer not to play with microscopes on a fine, rainy, cool and lazy Sunday Morning... BUT, since my PhD student mentor so pia, i also pia along...Whoohoo~



LOVE U, LOVE U NOT...Pui!!!



Very chui...He caught me dozing off a few times while i was reading my notes... Too tired le... Read one sentence, go dreamland once...

I complained that the laboratory was too cold, so i went to the stairs to sit and read (Interpret: sleep)...Jialat man...Sleep until he paisei...say if i really cannot take it, can go home...



This sorta wraps up the lethargic weekend life of mine.


More work on Monday...and this was Mr. PhD's sms to me:

"Tomorrow, pls make TBS buffer 500ml and adjust the pH to 8.9. Also prepare 50 mM CaCl2. Read more paper. Don't forget u need to sleep also."



Yea. I need to sleep...If not how to make buffer tomorrow? Thank you very much....=.=

~Strange~

Yea...Strange.


In actual fact, i reached home not long ago.


Went to school today.


Mr. Soh was slogging away doing his experiments, then we had dinner together.
8 plus le. But it was to be a few more hours before he ended his day.


Just as we headed off to our own activities, i overheard someone calling out to another person. As I walked another 50m, i saw some people. The person called out again. (Eh, i was thinking to myself, the person so enthusiastic, call to his friend so far away.)


Then it turned out, he was actually calling me.


This campus security guard called 小白。O.o


But, i dunno him at all!


小白: Where's your friend?
Me: Huh? What friend?
小白: The one who was sitting next to you when you eat just now...
Me: Orh! He ah...Go back to lab lo...
小白: Oh...which part he work?




Then we yada yada about where the labs were; if i was coming back tomorrow...; Whether i was Singaporean and which part i live...etc etc etc.. (Lucky not detailed..)


After that then we intro each other. I thought maybe Mr. Soh very friendly...Security guard also tackle...hohoho...


But then ah...



Mr. Soh: No?! (Looking absurd)
...I don't know any security guards in campus...




So it turns out, i talked to some stranger like we were old neighbours O.o...SIMI SAI =.=

二十二

一边print FYP (Final Year Project) readings

一边写博克

听着音乐



The post-grad. student looking after me

sent me 3 zip files,

out of which,

2 are corrupted,

out of which,

BOTH are 7 mb files.


Which means,

I only managed to open the 3 mb file,

which has 10 readings, many pages.



"Printer, 我们加油吧!"




懒惰的我

今天突然心血来潮

想练习华语

夜已深, 人已静

还是想睡个觉

明天再说


===========================



好久没好好的睡一觉

也不知道在"途"什麽


只知道有时很累很累

当彼此的性格不合

就比如 1 + (-1) = 0.

不想多说


================

(Another brand new day)

Let's talk about the good food, good playmates in

SERANGOON GARDEN.

Met up with Miss Jerimia.

Wanted to go to:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

But there were just too many people.

On a tuesday night,

when some stalls are closed.

If Monday blues,

Tuesday is definitely orange.

Orange for Happy!!

So happy, everyone goes to eat on Tuesdays =)



So, in the end...Mr. Soh, Miss Jerimia and I decided on

ASTONS.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

DO NOT...

i repeat: DO NOT

BELITTLE THESE SAUSAGES!


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Especially the CHEEZE sausage shown on top.

Yummilicious!

The whole platter costs $10.90 i think.

2 person to 1 platter would be ideal.

~~~~~~~~

The soup of the day costs $2.20.


In a nutshell, the food there is simply


CHEAP AND GOOD.


"Quality food from Steakhouse @ 56 Serangoon Garden Way"

~~~~~

Let's talk about the playful ones ^^

We have: Scotts (breed: Shih tzu) on the left,

Beady (breed: Beagle) on the right.

(Beady Looks on! "OMG!! Scotts, what are you trying to do?!?)


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket



They are cute and adorable companions.

I don't know why, but Scotts stuck to

Mr. Soh the whole time he was there.

Beady was more mischevious n jumped around,

trying to lick me and played catching!!



At the very last part, i forgot the time and only left at 11 p.m!! O.o



Me wonders why Miss Jerimia had not

chased me out of his house then

=D


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Good night everyone =)

Randomized

Before i forget, let me just remind myself of what i want to write...

- Bumblebee: havent research yet
- Visit to Ru hua's house: Lazy

***
hmm...It just dawned onto me...Whenever i feel sad, bothered, intrigued...And no one can help me...I will play freecell. If i can finish it, most probably i will either feel better or find a resolution after a game or 2. Whenever i reach a deadlock, i feel e end is near. Hohoho~ Most of the time the solution pops out on its own. ~For the better or worse~

Dexter the manic said tt my way of writing is choppy...oh O.o

YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED

Yupz...after eating some porridge...

I decided to tag these friends
(who hopefully wun become my foes after tagging O.o)
  1. My sista
  2. Her Bak hu fren
  3. Foxy
  4. Cuiwen
  5. Hame
  6. Big E ^^

I've BeeN TaGGeD O.o

My hair is wet.

So i can't sleep.

Then, before i know it,

I HAVE BEEN TAGGED.



Here's what it means:


"Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!"



....Ba-long-long la....
I wanted to write about...
IA last day: Episode 2...

Now i need to write...
...6 amazing things about myself...



Nevermind....
...I SHALL...

DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!!
MUWAHAHAHAH....



Ok, whenever u see something in quotes (" "),
i am describing a weird property of myself OK...
~~~


Where there are many photos to upload...
Pisaca2 is my BEST FREN.



"(1) I like to eat ice-cream when it is melted. Cuz...
I like to use my chopsticks to draw patterns
on the melted colurs...
LOOKS ARTISTIC U KNOW!!"



On 22nd June 2007, these were all the interns
in the company...

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Hohoho...


(Yesterday, i blogged until this part,
then i think our neighbour started watching tv...
AT 3 PLUS A.M....
But, my bed was waiting for me...
...so i had to go...

...And i thought i was nocturnal...
...i got beaten, upside down....)



"(2) I have always wanted to know
....how it feels like to be a guy...
FOR FUN ONLY LA...

I vaguely recall myself trying to
PEE like
a guy when i was young...
...and the end result...
YOU KNOW IT. Hoho!"



Yea...After the group photos, comes the
Battle of the sexes!
I think the girls look
1 MILLION times BETTER
than the WOODY guys...


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
(Darn la...MY DT aka ASSKA got a lil cut off in one of the pic! Ba-Long-Long la!!)




"(3) I had a funny thought when i was young...
that my Right leg and my Left leg...
Must be fairly treated. O.o

So whenever i go out...
i will count the number of strides my right leg took,
and come up with a walking PATTERN (faintz)
so that it is equal..."



Right...
I have with me some couply photos...
Well, me, being a vainpot
would naturally post many photos to contain
MYSELF.


Whee~

(Yes, please notice the height difference btw me and Mr. Kock.
But see my heights with others...
Who's the abnormality? )



"(4) Woah it is getting harder...Alrite.
I am HIGHLY vomit phobic.
I think i have mentioned it before.

I rather sick with diarrhoea than puke it out!

The last time i was sick, i held out for 2 GOOD days...
before i finally puked. I Lao Sai >10 times den...

Now that's SCARY. It is no longer weird O.o"



Ooo...I almost forgot to post pictures of the
Process Department...

These are the people/ Friends/ Classmates/ Coursemates
i have been working with
for the past half year.

"(5) This one my friends will know...
But the reason behind it?
I dun eat fats/ skin
not cuz they are bad for health.

But rather...i find it hard to chew on it...
...n bite it into pieces...that it...
MAKES ME WANNA VOMIT!!
=>UNCLE, Bar Chor Mee Mai Ba Chor...<=

However, i eat the fats on pig organs,
e.g. intestine, heart...
I oso dunno why??? "



Heh..this post it getting TOO long...
OMG! I need a THIRD DAY...
...to write abt my LAST DAY OF IA...
...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

TELL ME THIS IS NOT TRUE.



"(6) I seem to enjoy thinking about stuff...

...ESP FUNNY INCIDENTS...

when i am alone...

As you guessed it,
sometimes,
I just laugh to myself

automatically,

when i am
on the train, bus, walking, taking lift etc...
...while staring into blank space.

I would think it is a miracle
that i am still out here...
mingling with society. "



Alex the milo pig is
VERY EVIL.
He tagged everyone who was
COMMON to ANYONE ELSE
on his list,
so we can't tag them anymore...



Now, who shall i pass this curse to???
Shall see :)
