hoho it's 1.15am now and i shall slp in 15min time but think i wanna blog a little! well, life's 'nv' been this hard. having school from 9-5 with effectively no breaks, except for a really rushed 10min lunch as i can't leave my reaction running while i'm away. argh! i'm left with a few more expt and hopefully can round up everything by next week. hopefully!

yeah labs aside, think i wanna blog about some happier stuff. it has been a few weeks with my new tutorial grp, with me as the only asian. kinda sian n intimidating at first as i thought i'll have the i'm-all-alone kinda feeling but that did not happen and i've actually made good frens with some of them. i've made like 4 better frens in my tutorial group(8 of us altogether), and i can feel that they also enjoy talking to me. and they'll usu approach to talk to me. good ren yuan huh. haha, such a feeling really feels good! finally, i've made some 'chattable' caucasian frens. last year was in a grp with 4 singaporeans and it doesnt feel that we had to mingle around and i can depend on them to get for me my hw or watsoever when i'm not around. now, i'll usu depend on this fren called sam if i need some help. am actually quite glad to have this tutorial group in exchange for all my tutors. wee~ indeed, stepping out of my comfort zone.

it's my reading week this week be4 I start my 5 weeks of horrendous labs, back to back, everyday from 11-5 except for wed. gosh, this's the system in UK, super lab-based. and it's the 1st year that chemistry has reading week after hearing those seniors' feedback. but well, reading week doesn't seem like 1 cos there're quite a number of deadlines this week and time has been spent at these stuff though i think i managed to read some topics thoroughly. well, year 2 is really a quantum leap from year 1!

but well anyway, there's sth nice that i wanna blog about. i just met my personal tutor on tues for a 1-1 meeting session. this is something that all chem tutors have to do and yeah we chatted for 10min. it's quite a nice chat as he asked me about how am i lately and my ancillary sub and my new tutorial grps n tutors etc. and he's the most respected tutor in my life i feel, at least till now. he tutored me in organic chem last year and is a really marvelous teacher. always would give brain racking questions to make us think think think. bu kui shi professor. hai, and it's really a pity that he's not my organic tutor now but at least he's still my personal tutor. well, and he knows that i've changed to a 3 year course so i told him my reasons for doing so and i may change uni for the 4th year, hopefully to oxbridge. and he asked me to feel free to find him as my referee when i need in my 3rd year and wa, i was like yes! cos i know he can write good references. so yup, i think i'm really quite lucky and 3 cheers for myself for that.

alright, so for now, i'll just need to concentrate on labs n everything else. argh! hopefully i can do some shopping this sat.
