I've been having some problems logging onto blogger, for some reason or another these past few months, hence explaining the silence. However, to all the faithful reader-friends, I'm still very much alive and kicking-butt.Lotsa stuff going on in life.
Firstly, studies..
My experiments have only just begun about 2 weeks ago. I have to contend with a lot of inter-personal relationship problems because I have to conduct part of my research in this new lab where the people are not too welcoming or friendly. very cold. Basically now, my research is done simultaneously in two labs. Both are on the 2nd floor of adjacent buildings. So, I am like running between 2 mountains *pant* *puff**wheeze*. I'm also attending more lectures this semester, Tissue Culture techniques and Protein purification techniques. Both of which will help with conducting experiments later. Owing to the fact that my biochemistry as an undergrad was sorta minimal, this classes really help. There's this PhD student from Nepal in protein class, called Mr. Ram, and he has written several Nepali textbooks on chemistry(he's quite senior in age, not old, dun wanna call him old). Sooooo amazing..sooooo genius...you know he can just scribble any compound on the board during presentation. Including long chain fatty acids and their complexes, amino acid derivatives, you name it. The rest of us feel sooo inadequate. I personally am this lazy human being who can't recall any chemistry drawings after a course. Just give them back to the lecturer.
Now, ministry and church,
Since my last post, Dr. Koh Eng Kiat, co-founder and elder of FGA has gone home to be with the Lord. I was priviledged to attend one of the memorial services as well as his funeral at Nilai Memorial Park. His passing coincided with UPM CG's project day 1 , so that weekend was completely hectic. FYI, Project day 1 is where some of us seniors go in on the first day of registration to help the lost first years.
Actually, ever since the juniors came in, things have been hectic.
There was TSF UPM CG's welcoming night at my apartment building, ,near the pool ( not in the apartment unit) where 80 freshies turned up.
The week that just passed was TSF annual camp at PeaceHaven Genting Highlands. This year's theme: Plug-In. Don't really have the energy to give a full account of evrything that happened there. Suffice to say it was great. Refreshing.
And I came home with a bad fever from getting soaked in the rain preparing one game station on Saturday afternoon. Misty, cold, hungry. ke-lian.
Anyway i just wanna thank my team-mates from Steamy Iron (Wand Teng, Patricia, Anna, Columbus, Alison and Kassie)who shared the 2nd prize that they won ( i say they because I didn't participate in games with them) with me, which means I got a free movie ticket coupon from GSC, which I'm using to go watch transformers with appa, amma, amy and curly this Friday.
Did I mention, I'm going to Cambodia for a mission trip end of this month? Err... I guess I just did.
