These 2 days
I have been exploring places near my house
I am so happy that there is a wetland park at where I am staying
This wetland park is one of the RAMSAR sites
where birds are sighted to visit en route their migratory paths
I was also happy that I got student ticket by showing them my International Student Card ;D
I didnt get to see the black-face spoonbills though
=(
The last time it was in the wetland was on 29 Nov 2010
They're not around for the whole of December!
Anyway
I kinda enjoy the trip
Although I was alone
I really like the place
The indoor interactive gallery is awesome
& on another day
I went for the Ping Shan heritage trail
I entered the old village & passed by ancient historical buildings left 700 years ago
Upon seeing all these houses
They reminded me of my village in China
>_<
Even the smell of it is exactly similar
Ahhh... kinda missed being back
There's just another week to be back in Singapore
& I'm so gonna explore most of the rarely visited places
so that I can bring DarDar here the next time we are back! ;D

I attended my first Christmas party on Tuesday!
Yes
My first ;p
It was really fun sharing the joy together
The food was nice
& the performance was great
Thanks Terence for being my secret Santa & got me a box of 3 hand creams
because he was concern with my dry hands from the excessive proteomics work
How thoughtful!
After the party
I went to Tsim Sha Tsui to look at the Christmas lightings to reminisce my childhood memories
Kinda disappointed actually
It wasnt that nice as it used to be 20 years ago!
That laser show was rubbish also
Waited for 30 mins to start but left 5 mins after it started
Boring
The lightings at East TST were nicer though
I hope everyone's Christmas are joyful
Merry Christmas ;)

Finally
It is over
Whatever I have to do in Hong Kong had been done
I am so proud of myself that I am going to treat myself sushi tomorrow
Hahaha
Seriously
These 3 months of work was worrying because I never get to know if I would be able to complete
or that I would get good data & results
or that I could have screw up everything since I know nuts about molecular work
But after this experience
I am sooooooooooooooooooo proud of myself because I've learnt something new
Also not forgetting fellow SWIMS labmates for their support
I think this is really useful
& how I wish I can get that back in Singapore :\
Oh anyway
Thank Dog it's over
& I am going to see Xmas lighting on Tuesday night
Alone
Yup
At my own time own pace
Cheers!

In-promptu stay-in at SWIMS Day 2
It was a good sleep last night
Wasnt that cold until morning
Biological clock has been working very well
Get to wake up automatically at 730am
Before my alarm clock rings
Currently in the lab now
& it's so quiet that I expect someone to appear to keep me company
But my expectation had turned into slightly negative hallucination
& ok, i shall stop thinking about such things now
It's a nice morning
Sun's up
& wind's blowing gently
Unlike on Thursday when I really trembled while waiting for the train
Looking at the calendar
It's only 2 weeks left
Yet i've things not yet done still
Hopefully by the end of next Thursday
Everything is completed
& I will be on my way back home

my in-promptu decision to stay back in SWIMS over the weekend is going quite well
With almost all the students out in HKU campus enjoying the department's Xmas party
I will be hogging the 40" HD TV in SWIMS common room watching my TVB drama
HAHAHAHA
Today's work wasnt that bad
I hope I'm getting better results this time
& seriously working on my analysis
I'm having sooooooooooo much backlogs & i have no idea how to clear
While thinking I should be able to settle
Procrastination & laziness set in
OH COMON!!!
So tomorrow
I will try to complete 1 manuscript
& another on Sunday
& hopefully being able to send off to Prof on Monday for her vetting
This Xmas is busy
But I'm liking it
:)

Just as I thought I've finished
I realised I needa re-do a part of it to re-confirm my data
Because this is qualitative work
It seriously depends much on the quality
As far as I'm closing one eye to analyse my data
I think the qualitative work affects quatitative work
So, I have to halt my analysis
& I am going to stay at SWIMS over the weekend
Cold weekend somemore
~_~
It's 8 degC this morning
- 2degC at rural areas
- another 2degC if you're next to the sea with strong winds blowing!!
& shit
It's gonna be 3degC tomorrow given the deciphered situation
Oh my goooooooodddddd
Please grant me miracles & complete my work asap
Love you, Dog

Saturday was fun
I went dolphin watching with my fellow friends ;)
Yup
I said dolphins
You think dolphins only exist in Dolphin Lagoon,Sentosa?
Bwah
Here's a dorsal fin for you!
We also went up shore to Sha Chau

It's now less than 1 month
I'm all so excited to return home
To be back with my DarDar & furry boys
My hands on experiments is almost finished
Really cant waiiiiiiiitttttttt
These just took me way toooooooooooooooooo long!
So I'm so anticipating to start my analysis soon
& because after analysis
It is totally completed
Good bye proteomics
Done that, been there
& it will then be report-writing session
Which suckkkkkkkks to max because I hate to write report sooooooo much
Grrr
Another reason why I cant wait is because
I'm going to KL & Bali!
For work (again)
Imagine that
Flying in & out 3 times in a month! >_<
Not sure if this is crazy or what
Oh anyway
Let it sail
Trying not to anticipate so much to avoid disappointment
Meanwhile
I'm thinking of whatta eat when I'm back Singapore
Haha!

I have been very busy seriously
Busy with my experiments
At some point of time
It was really pissing me off because it takes soooooooooooooo long to run one!
What's even more pissed off is that
I was being put aeroplane several times
Which caused a delay in running the experiment
So in the end
I devoted myself into it totally
& did it all by myself
I even decided to stay in SWIMS
Something which I'd never wanted to because of its seclusion
Well, actually
It isnt that bad afterall
Leaving the lab late at 10pm, sleep for as long as 8 hours, & reaching the lab early at 8am again
Beautiful morning scenery from the top (where the rooms are)
I was so naive to have rejected this idea
It was the food sources that disgust me
Because, there's simply no food!
I have to buy food in to eat
& frankly, I've been on high sodium diet for the past few days
Think my kidneys have been working too hard
& now, as of today
I'm desperate for veggies
I want greens!
Tonight will be my last night at SWIMS
This is gonna be 1) happy & 2) sad
1) happy because it means that my experiment is completed,other than having to repeat some others for qualitative confirmation
2) sad because I think I'd settled down in SWIMS
This trip back in HK is just so weird
Everything looks so familiar but at the same time, isolated
When I'm picking things up, I'm getting used to it
But when I've already gotten used to it, I have to learn new things
Hmmmmmmmm......
So probably, in the end, it is just memories rather than experience
Just another month
& I'll be home
I hope everything goes well & smooth
Cant ask for more, seriously

It was awesome yesterday
Went to Macau to attend Solomon & Belinda's wedding ceremony
First time witnessing the event overseas in a different culture
After the ceremony
We went to Taipa
Snacks + lunch + The Venetian Macao
I'd always wanted to visit The Venetian Macao
Kinda disappoint me when I saw the dull exterior design
Once I stepped in
It gave me the 'Genting' feeling
It is sooooooooooooooo 'Genting' because of the interior decorations
Didnt impress me anymore after the visit
Nonetheless, we had fun taking photos & do a bit of shopping
& can you believe that I could almost buy the whole NaRaYa shop because the prices of the items are so much cheaper in Thailand? *jaw drops*
Shuttle bus services are perfect
Best of all it is free
So we took the advantage of it to travel to Sands
& took cab to the town area since it's of a shorter distance from there
Where we went to see the Ruínas de São Paulo & Fortaleza do Monte
It was first visit to Macau for some of our foreigner friends
So they were really enjoying it
Snacking, joking, laughing
The food we had was really really yummy
Macau had changed alot
Everywhere is building a casino
& guess what?
Even Banyan Trees is having a Galaxy Macau too!
I'm so gonna come back again with DarDar one day ;)
& thanks SWIMmers for this wonderful day
For more photos, please see here
