Yeah yet passed another busy week filled with almost 7 hours of labs everyday. finding fyp quite hard now as my sup are both very busy and i have to plan most of my experiments myself. But luckily my sup has been agreeing to what i'm doing, my way of approaching the problem. need to be quite creative when it comes to research, set the parameters yourself and doing it in a trial and error way. but to me, it's really slow and i can only move inch by inch (or maybe less) as there are so many variables and sub variables i can vary. well, nvm... guess i just need to slowly do it, change the variables and set a tentative direction for now; have to be focussed as well cos i need to know what objective do i want to get out from each experiment, so that i do not do unnecessary measurements. I believe that's how research should be like. luckily, i'm more into the development part in future.

anyway, so this week ks, me laya and alice celebrated kc's bday on thurs by treating him to C&R - singaporean food. it's cheap and the servings are just huge! of cos incomparable to singapore standard but is good enuf i feel.

then fri was a cookout session at laya's place at parson's house. shane cooked his mediterranean fish, ks bak kut teh, alice and laya dumplings while i made lor ba. cheated a bit cos i used premix. it tasted weird initially as i added too much sugar but alice managed to save it by adding more soy sauce. and it actually tasted very good thereafter and shane found my dish the nicest. wee! sounds like i'm having loads of life now huh. yeah kinda as i need to relax after every week of never ending labs. yeah for this week, i'll look forward to the hotpot dinner at ant's place and then maybe dinner with sam n sam n terrence on sat.

Shall regularly blog about the small little things that i do every week before this year comes to an end. Finished watching last friends and i really love the soundtrack. am listening to it while typing. maybe cos i'm too bored today and feel a little 懐かしい .

yeah had a cookout with the hk ppl yest, with hilary, vicky and jon. was really fun and jon can really cook! i used bak kut teh sachet - cheating! we played mahjong thereafter and monopoly deal. i got bored by mj after a while as they are too pro and i kept losing and i think cos i was a little tired! they are really really fast and yes i sorta got used to the momentum at the third round and almost won 2 rounds. the next outing shall be a kbox.

and this week has been a really busy 1! went down to cambridge on wed to visit the prof. everything went well and i got a positive reply but need to wait for the official confirmation of status then i'll be really happier as there's still a little uncertainty now. Everything's still unconfirmed. but well, seems like i may stay in the UK. and i believe i'll go down to london almost every other week or at least once a month to meet up these frens. alright, shall do some work tmr! things to look forward to this week - cookout with shane n gang, cny dinner with ant and gang then a meal with machi and ks. haha my life seems to revolve around food.

Somehow I am in a very peaceful mood now and wanna blog. Exams have ended and it seems like the 1st phase of this last stretch is done and it's time to move on to the 2nd exciting phase b4 graduation. 懐かしいね。。。ちょっと。exams went well except for 1 qns but doesn't matter as i think my other questions will pull me up. had dinner out everyday after exams. thurs was with the chem ppl and we played till 3am, fri was spent on doing 9 layer cake and dinner with jk n kel. yest with ant for his bday and then today was with laya, alice and shane at nonya.

and school will start tmr. i've had enuf rest and am not feeling empty becos there's sch tmr but rather all these are happening v quickly and will actually leave london soon be4 i even realise it. will miss here badly. the frens made here. really hope that my masters will be in uk. think i'll give myself a few weeks or months to miss these frens after i graduate and then move on! come to think of it, i've made quite many frens, here and there and they're not those 'hi n bye' frens. and i think it's right and better for me to take it positively and be happy about having made these frens, knowing that we will def meet again somewhere (japan?) or like when touring! no not emo-ing but i think i'm really treasuring every outing with these frens now. will be having a cookout with the hk ppl this coming friday and then the following 1 will be with shane n gang again! and then it'll be chinese new year. well, really cant wait for these gatherings! and yes have so many travelling to do in easter, visiting machi and sam. really, will need to do everything in this final year in imperial. haha. it's kinda funny when i looked back and realised that i missed home and sg frens quite a lot in my 1st year and now i'm actually missing the ppl here (of course i haven forgotten my sg frens).

and yes i'm starting my research project tmr! excited about it~ and yes i'm crossing fingers about something. argh.
