Final Day in the Lab
After 5 weeks of open lab (project work), my partners and I FINALLY finished up our lab work! phew! However, after putting in so much effort redoing about three times, the one which seems to have the most protein desired is the first method! Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography! And to think we could have completed it weeks ago!
Sigh.
ON the hind sight, doing this lab module has made me more interested in school work, biochem to be more precise. Life aint so boring now. Just really want to thank God for making it smooth sailing this semester. Biochemistry is really interesting. LIke in the lab i am in now, we learn the methods of purifiying our desired enzyme from a ton of other non-desirable proteins.
with the advance technology and world class labs we have in NUS, doing expt havent been that traumatic.
I have learnt to be thankful of the good facilities an undergraduate life Sci student gets in terms of machinery. As my TA was telling me, they have to share only ONE spectro on the whole 3rd level while in one lab, we have like more than 10 spectros! Amazing!
Well, on a more depressing note, my 4 tests are haunting me! and i have not even finished studying for bahasa on Sat! Freaking out!
GOt to go now till next time.
To all of you, dun stress over your exams!

Tue, my Favourite day of the weekdays! why? School dismisses at 12 pm! After 4 consecutive hours of LSM lectures!
This is also my slackest dress sense day where anything goes!
Tuesday's outfit = My brown auntie plastic frames + T-shirt (one of my many camp t-shirts) + shorts/bermudas + slippers (pink or blue)
Haha..
Anyway, this week is going to be all about studying for me i guess, what with 4 test coming up next week... urgh. Bahasa Indo, Financial Survival Kit, Experimental Biochemistry and Metabolism and Regulation.
Thankfully, this week has started out pretty fine since I have not been wasting much time.
Yesterday, I had my last Grade 6 theory lesson at my music teacher's place. Usually we would meet at YMS - Young Musicians Society at Waterloo street but he wanted to cook for us so that was a treat!
I got to see what a budding talent invests in. ... CDs + books and ... more CDs + books. you should have guessed it.
The interesting thing is that even though he is a great pianist/composer/arranger, he has a terrible hi-fi set and a KOREAN piano that has a broken high G string.
Now for those non-pianist out there, this might not seem strange. but it suprised me. I always had the impression that pianist, or any musician for that matter would be paticular about his instrument. How can one survive on a lousy piano and a dying hi fi set? but he seems to get by.
Now that my music lessons have ended, i would one more free night! =) I glad for the extra time of watching tv? or studying? haha, who knows. ...
3pm today:
Baked cookies, those ready made kind you buy off the shelf. A little sweet but on the whole not bad. I actually placed them in little ball-like shapes but it turned out to be one whole blop! opps. but still edible anyway.
why?
Was making them for Gen who is my public pal ! This is a game the youth camp committe (which i am part of) is playing. We are suppose to show love to one another by different means so I decided to do something sweet (both literally and metaphorically.. is that the word? )
Yeap. thats my day.. more studying later.. no giving of tution tonight though cos Louis wants to postpone it.. that boy... well, till next time then.

wow! My first attempt in getting a online journal! and its here! I am quite excited about this journal journy that I am taking up. hopefully my interest will last? =) We will see.
My thoughts of getting a journal?
After viewing many many, many journals, i have realise the usefulness of it. It is really a good way for your friends to catch up with what you have been doing. However, it also means that people start getting lazy.
like when you send person A an e-mail, person A goes, "Check my blog! " and gives you the url. haha. irriating. No personal touch at all.
Well, do leave notes here and your e-mails! that's important !
However, i just realised that there is no option for you guys no leave little comments! Aw shucks.. got to figure that one out too!
As Eewah says, "slowly lah.. "
and to Grace's first feeble attempt, Cheers!
