yeah! I felt so accomplished today that i must blog this day down. my da ge mentor was on leave and my whole lab was practically almost empty cos many of the da jie apparently had things on! like preparing for tml's lao yusheng and stuff. ahah! so i had to do so many things by myself.

completed the remaining half of my expt and i got the coveted results! so was really really happy, so the next step is to further refine the procedures. haha~ and had to at the same time, do some maintenance for the machines. so i basically have to shuttle from this lab to that and stagger both processes in order to complete by the end of the day! and i managed to do so! and able to complete like 1/3 of tedious stocktaking. albeit the tiredness, i felt really accomplished!

i feel so lucky to be here actually, get to hands on on many things which otherwise i wun get to experience. i guess it's the same for every workplace but just differ in the extent of new stuff that u learn.

yeah! and tml we'll be having lou he (yusheng) at science park! so exciting~ and there'll be CNY goodies sales, a big 1 this time! yeah can play with my lab ppL~ so fun!

wee~! today was a happy day out with papa! haha he's ceejay~ my first date with him, haha called him papa cos he looks old while i look much younger! and he calls me xiao pang. bla bla. ooo, and i met a tremendous lot of ppl today! starting from the day!

went to ubi to do my pdl and i saw this bravo spec called weiwen who did the ndp cos for bravo, but din tok to him cos i dun really know him well! haha, then happily boarded bus 15 and landed up at marine parade cos i took the wrong directioN! and it took me 2h to reach hom from ubi eventuallY! haha, wat a dumb morning.

followed by meeting ceejay at eunos platform as we start our shopping journey! well, we only bought 1 blue plain t from topman each. and i think i should list the ppl whom we or rather i met, firstly it was jun hua! ceejay's pri sch fren while he's my sec sch classmate! haha, i haven seen him for eons! guess the last time i saw him was when i went to his house to get dunman uni~ then, i saw jun cheng again with his grp of frens, but i din acknowledge him. haha, followed by another grp of bravo spec at zara and weiwen was with them! but i cleverly siam them, think it's quite funny cos they should also have seen me.


cj and i at platform! haha i look fat here~

then, we continued shopping and went to fareast, lido. so while we entered the basement of lido, someone approached us to try her cheese! and ceejay was so excited to try, and the promoter suddenly asked if i'm eric. was taken aback a little, and she explained that she's from la trobe, got to know me from evelyn. haha! this world is just so small ya~

and shopping seems to pass sooooo quickly today! we walk walk walk, and walked all the way to PS, and finally headed to bedok for dinner at botak jones! weee, my first time having botak jones after wanting to try for so long but couldn't cos of the incessibility of all the branches! well, it was really nice to have dinner with him and his didi joined us as we met at ps earlier on. and guess who i met here! met esther, my sec sch classmate! wa really a small singapore! haha so we chatted a little before she returned to her table. haha! it was really a full-of-coincidences day! yeah, i'm so looking forward to shopping for winter wear with ceejay~ i still wanna get a trenchcoat for myself! haha~


that's esther!


botak jones!


ceejay and i again~

hohO~ today has been quite a 'funny' day. well, started the day with weidi sending lunch packets to the elderly at toa payoh and the person-in-charge thot i was coming at night! and we both one sidedly thot we noe when i'm coming. haha~ so we just had a few packs to send cos there are too many volunteers.

then, had lunch at the food court at tpy hub and went to meet mj after that for a short shopping trip, followed by meeting my old specs for dinner. wat that was supposed to be a platoon outing became a cosy outing for the 4 of us, justin, sam, felix and i. haha! well, we went to this small cosy and well-lit jap restaurant behind centrepoint, i really like the lighting la. and had ramen! well well, though it was a disappointingly small outing in the end, i found it heartwarming still. i find that i have things to talk to justin after not meeting for so long, like to update each other about the things we're doing now? yuPz, and i guess we've bored felix a little, so i tried engaging him in our convo by asking him other stuff. haha, that's cos we're all talking about work now while he's still in ns.


felix and i! haha we always stay up quite late to listen to his mp3~ those were the days man~


4 of us~

still, glad to meet them uP!

and i dun noe y, think i'm kinda mad, i'm hoping for mon and work to start! think i really like the company there. and i bought 2 cny decorations for my office and lab door each today from toa payoh! wee~ looks cute. well well, can't wait for next week to start and have fun with shi jie, da ge, ma, and all the da jie there! hehe, oh and i'm meeting ceejay for dinner on fri after work! wee~ he's going to imperial with me tooo, i can't wait to fly with him, jk and wl actuallY!

yeah! so finally after 1 year, wen chee, yitian, nelson and i met uP! wow! met nelson and wenchee at town first to shop for loafers(how u spell this), it's a kinda shoes and nelson thinks those shoes make 1 look mature! hee so we walked walked walked from orchard to cityhall, entering any shoe shop that we spotted! haha, and there were a number of choices on our list but ultimately think they prefer the hush puppies ones cos they go for comfort and i'm also quite tempted to get the hush puppies ones! cos their quality seems better.


camwhore! haha, took these fotos while waiting wenchee to get his milk tea from mos burger! nelson's stamina is lousy! haha he has to sit whenever there's an apportunity!

it's my first time shopping with them and walking from orchard to cityhalL! wa it was really crazy i felt! and commando wenjie felt it was like strolling. haha! so we finally had a nice dinner at imperial treasure when yitian joined us! wa and as usual, like to make fun of yitian by deceiving her about the courses that they're taking. and we realised that nic, wen chee and i will be in london, so maybe yitian and nelson can just fly over to visit us then! haha. found today's food really nice maybe cos our stomachs were growling really badly then! we were all so hungry! all of us haven changed much and hope we still can meet up some other time.


yeah~ HCCO haha!

oh and i like shopping with wen chee and nel today cos i guess we all had a common agenda! haha~ yeah, maybe i'll get the shoes with them 1 day too!


The 4 of us~ maybe we can be named the HCCO clique??? yeah~

yeah! it was a really great week at dso doing internshiP! got a great mentor and colleagues! and i like the nature of my work, guess i have chosen the right scholarship ba. haha!

mentor and shi jie(cos she was from dhs) kept asking me to call others auntie and uncle cos i'm the youngest there! wee~ haha, maybe cos i look young too! and my department has a group of really young scientists i would say! yeah, happy to know that i may have a chance to work with this group of funky ppl after my studies and during my 2nd year internshiP! oh, and mentor doesn't like me calling him uncle and preferred me calling him dage(makes him feel lao da huh)! haha! so i shall be a nice mentee and call him dage lor ahah since i also call shi jie shi jie instead of auntie!

yupz, though this is only the 1st week of my internship, i shall look forward to the subsequent weeks optimistically! yeah, mahjong tml with wen chee, yitian and nelson! after i haven seen them for a year!!!

yeah! finally 04S72 met up after so long! well, half of the class turned up cos the other half was either overseas if not busy. so it's quite successful i felt. and i was so eager to meet them today, was looking forward to it cos i knew we have so much to update one another after soooo long!


taken during dinner! haha~

yeah so there we like 13 of us! and it was really a hilarious dinner at fei cui. talking about school jokes, like how ks kept pronouncing molecules as mo-le-cu-las and that's what he always says when there's nothing to talk about. and like how he embarrassed our ct in the com lab, laughed till many of us turned red! hahah!


yixin wanted to kill ks using the fork! re-enactment of jc days in the canteen!

yixin and ks always make a funny pair, while jen and eileen likes to make fun of ks 'ji xiong'. haha! it was a pun intended actually cos he wore a shirt with some chicken desgins that are really cute. bought from thailand! ah yah, should have asked him get me some. maybe i can ask frens who frequent there to get me! I think our friendship is still going strong, with the hilarious jokes that we never get tired of. It's really great that all of us make the effort to meet up and catch uP! looking forward to another such gathering!


04S72! we've grown up!
