hello hello :)

I realised i havent been online for days. haha. For the past few day's i've been enjoying the luxury of 8 hrs of sleep per day! yay! :) after such a long break, it feels weird blogging again.It's like i know i've got stuff to say, but at the same time also nothing to say. sigh. Today was a chaotic day.sigh. So many thoughts in my mind that i dont knowwhat to say.

Guess i'll start with work then. I am thankful that work isnt that monotonous anymore! yay! :) tt's something to be happy about. haha. Really thank God about that:) . Some lof the lab biologists are leaving the lab soon so they were teaching the new lab biologist some things about cloning and those kind souls taught me abt it too! haha.. thank you so much! And i finally can do something different, other than protein work.:) So the last few days i was doing some new stuff like miniprep, maxiprep and PCR. :) Compared to protein work, cloning is so much more fun to do! :) OH, in case some of u are thinking in terms of stem cells kind of cloning, don't worry, it's not. It's more of cloning bacteria and bacteria plasmids. So it's not those contoversial stuff.

Here comes the chaotic part. During their lab meeting, all the permanent staff will have to go, except us students. So, somehow today, most of my colleagues decided to ask me to help them do some stuff. Each of them gave me 1 or 2 things to do and it added up to 4 or 5 tasks to be done at the same time. it was crazy! haha. i wonder how cheryl does it.:) And the phone kept ringing and no one seems to want to pick up the phone, so i had to answer too. Anyway, i made a grave mistake today. sigh. It's partly due to the chaotic situation and miscommunication. I think there's a serious problem about how i comprehend stuff.BUT! it is still MY FAULT.:( I feel so bad, cause my colleague was already very busy so she asked me to help her but i think i made it worse for her. sigh. But she took it quite ok, and insisted that it isnt so bad. I hope it isnt. But i'm glad that she wasnt very affected by it, at least not as bad as me. I guess i need to learn from her, of how she continues to be positive and trust in Him:) Well i should continue to pray about my absent mindedness and also pray for her.

I suddenly realised that i'll be ending work in the lab in 2 week's time! It's so soon!!! I'm a little happy that it's will be over but at the same time, i think i'll miss it alot.:( Maybe not so much about the expriments and stuff, though it's also quite fun, but mainly the people there! In the past 3 and a half months, i've met so many people there, so many really friendly and warm people. I will miss them alot alot alot.sigh. I;ve made so many friends there!! There's the either-irritating-or-dead student who's at the same bench as me, and this v sweet girl ,cheryl,(whom i always go home with), and also my look-alike "sister"from another lab. haha. And of course there are the perm staff . I don't want to leave my friends. :( Should i extend my attachment? sigh.

On the way home today, i met my secondary school friend whom i havent seen for ages! haha. it's such a nice surprise:) and i;m happy to know that she's doing fine. :)
