NTU

My PhD went to the symposium in NCC and the first thing she said when she saw me was, "How is everything over there (NCC)? How did they treat u?"

I'm so touched!~ Omg! It sounded like I went to prison and she came to visit me. Lol!

Today I went back to NTU for an experiment and to learn about the new equipment. And saw the Masters student who said that time I graduated, he was doing his thesis and looking at my facebook photos on Hainan Island. And he exclaimed to himself, "Oh! Everyone else is having a great time except me!" LOL.


Had a good time catching up with PhDs and the Masters students. I missed them!

My PhD encouraged me to stay and develop myself in the Research field for the next 4 years cos she just went to a talk that says Singapore is going to invest 16 Billion in Bioinstrumentation (which happens to be what I'm doing now in NCC) from Year 2012 to 2016. HOW HOW HOW?!!! I only wanna stay in Research till 2013 and hopefully get a Business-related job please please please! God works in an amazing way. The more u wanna avoid doing something, the more He wishes for u to face it. Lol.



I realised that the Circle Line didn't help alot!

Going to NTU the old route: (Serangoon to Outram Park, NEL) 17 min + (Outram Park to Pioneer, EWL) 29 min + (Shuttle Bus) 15 min = 51 min

Going to NTU the new route: (Serangoon to Buona Vista, CCL) 20 min + (Buona Vista to Pioneer) 17 mins + (Shuttle Bus) 15 min = 42 min

So I saved 9 mins of my life!

But if u add the walking time:
- Walk from home to Serangoon MRT
- Walk from the underpass from Buona Vista CCL to Buona Vista EWL
- Walk from  Pioneer MRT to Shuttle bus stop)

And the waiting time:
- Wait for train at Serangoon
- Wait for another train at Buona Vista
- Wait for shuttle bus at Pioneer

It still totals up to about 1 hour of trip! :(
I thought Circle Line will be so fantastic that I will be able to reach NTU from Serangoon in 30 mins' time. LOL! This thought will only stay in my dreams! Even the cab to NTU during peak hours take 35 mins!


Okie! I will remain calm and not complain... At least 3 days of my work will be in NCC, which take me 17 mins to reach. :D


I took part in the 2km run for Run for Hope after some persuasion from my colleagues. Run for Hope is a charity run with NCC being one of the organizers to encourage our cancer patients. Our supervisor wants us to go so that our appraisal will look better. I have got my very first "jersey" from the run. Applause for me! Bought my very first FBT shorts to go with it. LOLOL.


One medical attachment student in our lab made a comment yesterday that after she watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", she was afraid that the mice might take revenge on us! I'm getting scared too. Please no nightmares tonight!
