 xmas gathering at da's place!
 with val at sentosa before the race!
okay finally have some time to update this space here. been too busy with fyp as usual and this will continue on till i graduate in may i guess. time pass so fast and i didn't even realise its already week5 and i will be officially liberated by week13 with poster presentation. probably by then i will feel a sense of emptiness though haha. imagine half a year of 8am reach lab and leaving lab at 8pm almost everyday will just suddenly end. lets see how its going to turn out then.
can't really recall much past events over the few months that i didn't update. mainly more gatherings, movies and other times in the lab or rushing readings and proposals. had a great xmas gatherings with my guitar dearies at da's place and thanks to her hospitality we did had a lot of fun. and thankfully it was held at a time when i really needed a break so it loosen me up for my progress report. my progress report went relatively okay i guess. had 2 tough examiners (hor and yip) and i answered the questions wrongly blehs. the comments came back and its okay though. and my maternal grandma passed away less than a week before the progress report so i was rather tired rushing back from school and the wake during that period of time. not much preparation was done for the presentation as i was rushing experiments as well. hopefully the grades will come out okay =)
and finally after months of picking up running again i took part in my first race last sunday. its surf and sweat 2010 organised by ntu sports club whereby we are supposed to surf 400m out in the sea on a surfboard then run around 5.5km. in total i took around 50mins since my running pace is still slow but at least i ran non-stop which is an accomplishment. i kinda like the racing atmosphere whereby everyone will be encouraging each other one to run harder and we aren't really out-racing each other. and its held at sentosa, which is a relatively nice place to run and relax. me and val reached kinda early thanks to the early reporting time so we had a nice relaxing time on the beach before and after the race.
also, one of the weekends both of us actually ran from tj to east coast park before meeting gab and hy for our sunday dose of cycling. it was rather nice to recall back the olden times when we are have to ran to east coast park during our PE lessons or during the memorable guitar camp. we took much faster than expected and relaxed at the breakwaters. the coastline is all nicely renovated finally and after cycling we actually did short sprints on the sand which was tiring but nice. for now probably i will look out for races in july or august after i graduate to train up for longer distances like 10km with an improved pace and trying to run with my new pair of new balance 760 shoes which hopefully will minimise my archilles and knees from hurting that much during running.
and for the first time i am actually feeling stressed up over school work aka fyp. hates it when emoness and down-ness just hits me out of nowhere and affects my mood totally. its up to the stage whereby i really feel like pulling my hair out and bury myself somewhere to avoid all these work. nevertheless i will still have to face it up and carry on with my labwork to produce some nice results to wrap up the report nicely. glad there's this cny break for a while and my mentor for understanding and putting up with my emoness once in a while. normally when i am too stressed up and tired i will hide at some bench for a break and she will know where exactly to find me. i am really thankfully and feeling lucky to have such a nice mentor =) hoepfully i can survive till the end of the sem in one piece.
and still waiting for my graduate programme application results. hopefully its going to turn out okay. though it will be the same as back in my honours project but i rather be doing more studying then going to work immediately. probably will be back in the lab in may or june to do part time vacation internship first before waiting to be matriculated in august or find a job if my application is rejected. thankfully dr zhao agreed and is happy to have me back for part time lab work =)
and i'm going kinabalu in end june with nus odac! excited but worried about my physique and stamina then. hoping for more trips as grad trips. plans anyone! =)
and its chinese new year eve! i wasn't around for last year's one as i was in sweden so it feels nice to be back this year except for the madness and tiredness from cleaning the house. last year i wasn't around and this year my poor bro isn't around. going to miss his company to survive through boring visitings and hopefully he will be safe and sound from his internship in india and back in US. see if i can visit him in US in may before his return in june. and maybe i will koup his ang pow this year muahaha. going to feel weird not to be going to maternal grandma's place anymore after her passing but instead we'll be heading to my uncle's place for gathering instead.
and yup finally here's wishing everyone a happy chinese new year! =)
