The Part-timers Gathering

Finally has the time do go back to my work place today. The one that funded my grad trip. It was madness working from 11-3 and then 6-9.30 almost everyday for one semester despite having the need to study and do my FYP. Weird thing is although I was tired, I felt so happy back then.

Here is the photo of the workers.

I realised that I work so much here until it kinda became a part of me. Gonna miss the place. Gonna miss Mee Jie the most. Very kind lady that always offer us food. :-D. The other 2 guys are Chef Yang and Robert (very blur but hardworking guy. He gave me fresh cut pineapple when I ask for pineapple juice...........). Where is Tony?

All the part-timers gathered for a dinner, minus Ryan. Feels weird not to be in my black uniform. Hehe. We really memorised the dishes name by now. Working about 8 months in total already. Gonna miss recommending the Homemade mushroom, French Beans, Curry chicken, Chicken Tika, etc etc. And of course the 'Onni' (yam) and Pumpkin Cream, my favourite dessert.

And us the part-timers plus a friend (Jan, Wendy, Candy, Me SQ).
It was so fun working with you guys.

The Song That Explains

As I watch another episode of American Idol (ok I know some of u hates it, but its not the show that I gonna talk about in this entry k? Hehe) I couldn't help but relate to the song I am.....I said. Speaks exactly of my feeling ever since I left home 6 years ago. Its wonder how beautifully the song is written. Glad to know that I am not alone in this feeling.

I think just by changing the lyrics from LA to Singapore and NYC to Sandakan. Here's part of the lyrics that really touched me.

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

The song is now officially on my favourite list from now on.

The FYP is Done.......Almost

Yup. So relieved. I am done with my report and poster! Gosh one whole year of work. I still remember how worried and stressed up I was when it first began. I had absolutely no idea on what to do. Reading those journals is a really like reading a foreign language book. Wait it was alien language back then. Haha.

Alright here is the poster. Should I put it up on my wall?

Experiment was worse, everyone seemed to know more but me. I cannot even use a pipette properly. Thawing and culturing cells are like a total ......... to me. Scampering for reagents and yes how can I forget that horrible confocal microscopy, that really got me. I remembered how I really wanna smash that microscope. Switching from one focus plane to another.

But hey it is all over now. Haha. And I think I am gonna miss it too. After all, it had became a part of my final year life. I need to really thank my wonderful supervisor for being so helpful and patient with me. Staying back so late at night at time. It was certainly a blessing. Asso glad to have my fellow lab mates, haha at least I know I am not alone. And of course helping me to store things so I do not need to put my shoe cover on. :p

The Dilemma

Should I tell? Should I not?
Feelings hidden, Secrets untold.
Someday I will.
Yes, someday.

The Swiftness of Time

Been away from this blog of mine too long. Nothing to blog about? Not perhaps, more like nothing to tell the world about. Things are moving too fast. Faster than I could comprehend. As I watch my friend Cindy perform in her graduation play, I couldn't help be think how 3 years flew by. Still remembered the time when we attended Chris's play when we first knew each other.

Btw, Cindy you were great! Continue chasing your dreams. Fighthing!

Granny not happy with her playful children

3 years back. People come n go. But still some will stay.

University life ending soon. Not a single step taken to bring me closer to my goal. Where did that fighter go?

The Confusion

All set for graduation
Looking forward to the graduation trip
Not ready for the life after graduation
But wait.....is there life after all?
