思路太复杂不是件好事

just some updates

went to see fireworks twice this moomba :) i recon it's better than last yr's, hv new 'variations' of the normal fireworks, and the music sort of matches the fireworks.

went to see my supervisor/boss yday.
will need to start revising all the stuff from last yr, after easter weekend.
there're 5 new ppl in the lab since i left 3 months ago. and by the time i start, the renovation in our old lab should be finished.

off to goldcoast tonite!
bro said the apartment is like a holiday resort, nothing much around the area, only beaches.
no internet in the apartment, only tv, aircon, dryer (my dryer in melb is not working) and free electricity (he doesnt' need to pay mar).
dunno wat we will do there, he's working on wkdays, not many shops around and i can't swim, so might really end up reading story book or watching tv at home all day :S
anyway, as long as we are out of melb, erm more specifically... me and my parents are out of the melb apartment, things should be alright.

Back in Melb

Have been back in Melbourne since Sunday.
Have settled all the bills, scholarship document and enrolment,
collected the new student diary and a new student card today :) happy with them
can't do without a student diary.
Have bought tix to goldcoast next week with my parents, for almost a week and is looking fwd to the trip.
Have called my supervisor this morning and will need to discuss abt those 'serious stuff' with him next tues :(

Haven't gone to the market, so dont have any unprocessed meat at home,
can only cook instant meals. and forgot to buy mian xian from asian groc today. seems like i'll hv to eat the 4th packet of instant noodle for dinner tonite

Have to save up money for
a digital piano
a digital camera
and if still hv extra money.... a laptop :P

went to change my term address on the uni website, clicked 'UPDATE', then
in red, a receipt number came out, and also a note saying that an email will be sent to my unimail to notify me the changes i made. then my uni email address was shown in red... @pgrad.unimelb.edu
this is not the first time i realise that my uni email has been changed from @ugrad to @pgrad. but seeing it still made me feel so 'grown-up' (a better word for 'old')

gg back to KL tmr... from Sg
which means gg back to Melb in less than 1 week time...

a song by a biotech company, for their new PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction, ghee i still remember them!) machine:



lyrics:

The PCR Song
There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.
Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.
Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.
Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.
PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
(repeat chorus)

Happy birthday to me

it's my birthday today
and it's still my birthday now

原来吉隆坡市中心的夜景也可以很美

I miss my plant in melb, everytime i pour away unfinished water from my cup.

光良 卫兰 - 童梦 (Live)

There's also a mandarin version of this song.

less than one more month, i'll be home...
that's faster than i expected. used to think that i'll hv heaps of time here chillin in melb before goin home, but now it seems like 3 weeks is too short for me.
well, not that i wont come back here again, but it'll be a different 'stage' next year. either i'll be still a student or i'll be looking for a job.

i'm hving a second thought now whether to do a phd next year. mainly becoz of the other colleagues, or should say 'potential colleagues' in the lab. din get along too well with them, as in dont hv much common topics for conversation, dont 'bitch abt other ppl' with them.
but they did show good moral support for me this year, with my talks, thesis, experiments. i'm getting mix messages here. or it's probably my communication problems, or my poor english?

on the other hand, i have a really good primary supervisor and a good project.

finally finished my talk today!!! which means, that's the end of my honours!!!!! woohoo!!

erm... well, i wasn't feeling as excited as the day i handed in my thesis. mayb i was too excited then, so now dont feel as much already.
or mayb it's sad coz noone's there to 'celebrate' with me :(

There are 4 things you cannot recover...
the stone after the throw,
the word after it's said,
the occasion after the loss,
the time after it's gone.
