went to sharon's house to have steamboat lunch with the sbs girls today. i realised steamboat gatherings are very common with sbs people. the most memorable one was the one we had in hall. that was fun... sharon prepared most of the food for us today. we only helped out with the easy stuff. it was such a filling lunch! almost all of us are working in labs now so everyone updated and complained about their labs. lab environment is very important to be able to learn something and be happy working. i'm getting used to my lab now that i have done the experiments before. the seniors complain of the lack of space but are generally willing to teach. so we just ignore their comments. haha...didnt learn much outside of what we are doing so i'm feeling very bored. sometimes have nothing to do in the lab but yet cant leave too early. only the pay is my greatest motivation to go lab when i know i have nothing to do. i want my hols! many friends dont wanna continue working in the lab after graduation. the seniors in the lab also say that we must be very passionate cos the pay isnt great and the working hours can be long. but...what else can i do?

last sunday, i went cathay with ny. finally spent my charles & keith and ben & jerry vouchers. i was served by weisheng from impresario group 1 at b&j's! we found each other familiar but i couldnt remember who he was at first. so qiao... next we went to IKEA tampines. there's so many people there!!! especially the cafe, so difficult to find seats. super pissed when a woman snatch my seat. got a headache when i finally found seats. but the meatballs were very nice! think its a mix of beef and pork. they were served with a creamy sauce and a sweet jam sauce on the side. ny bought a bedroom light for willie and we went to explore the Courts megastore and Giant next. there was nothing much actually,especially Giant. and its weird that there's a 7-11 below Giant. haha...
yesterday was our 6 mth anniversary. this half year seems to pass by quickly. didnt celebrate as ny was sick. seems like everyone was watching transformers as it was sold out for many shows. in the end we went to causeway point for fish soup. think the fish soup there is the best!
so craving for Chocolate N' Spice muffins after vinc said he went to buy them last week. first tried them when les's friend bought them for us while studying for exams. love the chocolate and cheese muffins hot out of the oven... yum!

tomorrow's sunday but i have nothing to do...feel like i'm wasting an off day when i stay at home. tomorrow is also the start of the gst hike. everybody's been shopping and going places during june before the hike. i havent done much shopping though. my new shoes hurt like mad! i love the white shoes but clumsy as i am they got dirty the first day i wore them.
sianz...need some excitement in my life.

nothing to do at the lab this week. i took off on tuesday. so happy! made my offday to full use. met ny for lunch then met up with mz to shop at bugis. havent shop in awhile so it was a fruitful trip. had my favourite ice cream at ben and jerry's. sinful...haha. hope i can finish all the vouchers before they expire.
spent dinner with some sbs friends to celebrate vinc's birthday. we went this malay cafe opposite shaw tower. the food was quite nice. the chicken was really soft and tender. and there were crispy oatmeal like flakes on top. yum!

today was my third day at work at the lab. its been a super tiring week and i've been on a sleep debt since friday. have been meeting friends and playing mahjong which was fun. but getting up at 6+ is not. the journey is long, there's no space or proper mentor. dont know if it would be a good environment for fyp.

its the last free day before i start my internship and i'm staying at home with no where to go. sigh...should have worked one more day. probably wont see any of the people i got to know at work again. but thats the case with each job.
i had fun the last few offdays going swimming, cycling and the day at mind's cafe.

long journeys and long days ahead...
