Updates
It's been two weeks since I've started my lab work and so far, I feel that nothing much has been achieved. Many failures with very little success. And the sucky part is when you are successful for a certain batch and feel delighted about it but when you tried to redo it using the same set of methods, you fail again. Back to square one. It's like you're feeling on top of the world one moment and then to the feeling of despair the next moment. I have this kind of experience before during my poly's fyp where I did lots of experiments, with many failures of course, just to get the correct formulation. But still, this lost and dejected feeling has affected me quite a fair bit. So much so that while I was traveling on the train to PL earlier, I didn't noticed a friend of mine till he came over. And he said he saw me quite a while ago but didn't come over then cos I was looking outside the door panel looking emo.
Synthesis. A thing from my past which has come back to haunt me again. Perhaps I should have known better. Perhaps I should have chosen a different project. Perhaps I should have just graduated and thus do not need to deal with any of this. If only there's an undo button in life. But well, I've made my decision and I should stand by it. I shall endure and do my best till the end of this project. Whatever the outcome, at least I've tried. Synthesis - you may think it's as easy as combining A + B to get C. But you'll never know how hard it is until you experience it yourself.
It's the weekend now. God, I love weekends ever since the start of year 4. Weekends are the best! Cos weekends are the only days of the week I get to rest, of some sort. Yeah, I still had to write up my logbook and think of other ways for my synthesis. Don't mention about my thesis.. I've yet to even create a file for it. And yeah, there are still read-ups I've yet to do for my modules. It's only the introductory part for my modules but at this rate, I'll definitely lag behind in my comprehension of what's being taught if I don't revise regularly. Taking two modules besides fyp is already kinda busy for me. To all those taking 4 modules, I really salute them. Total respect.
I went to Paya Lebar (Geylang) earlier to buy my baju kurung for raya. I went there after 7 cos I only got to leave my lab then. It was a short stay at the area cos I only went there to buy the clothes and I already decided where to buy it from. But it was definitely enough to emo-nised me. Walking at Geylang Serai in ramadhan to buy stuffs alone is damn emo. I've done this before but during the last few occasions, I went in the afternoon where there's not much people. Today I went in the evening and somehow felt so lonely seeing others with the company of at least another person with them. Luckily, I only went there for a while. Can't imagine walking along to all the bazaars in the area. Hearing raya music being played was awesome though! ^_^ In a flash, only 1.5 weeks left to raya. And this will be my last time receiving green packets! Awwww. Haha!
All right, that's it for this update. I'm tired after an energy-draining week. I shall have a good night sleep soon. Take care and have a great weekend!
