2010 年的夏天
很高兴认识了很多朋友,有得必有失,我好像有长大了一点耶。。
我喜欢听别人的故事,真的很喜欢!楚德,你要加油!别把爱情看得那么重,人生还有很多东西可以追求的!
回家,弹琴的时候发现有生疏,这样不行啊!需要练习。。
朋友都对我很好,感恩。。庆幸有你们在我身旁的鼓励和时不时的关怀。。。好温馨哦。。
现在发现自己很爱玩castle age, 是寄托吗?可能吧。。以前我都不玩的
爸爸妈妈弟弟妹妹,都很疼我。。我在柔佛会很想念你们的。。。
鑫婷,加油!抗豆需要耐心,我很有信心一定会好。。。
芷倩,谢谢你的照顾,我们一起经历了不少啊,感谢你一直都在我身边的鼓励。。。

有点累,很想睡。。>.<再说吧!

Random but not too Random
第一站:台北车站和铠毅见面。(可没去逛新光三越)
第二站:补习街, 西门町,还有去了大黑松小两口买牛扎糖。。我没买, 因为我不爱吃,很粘牙=.=
铠毅,我和yin hong 去西门红楼,因为我想看看Taiwan Philharmonic Orchestra有没有办演奏会。。我发现有String Quartet..可以在7买票。这里的7都很方便。
晚上,文明说他在飞天火锅定了位子,大家的晚餐就在那解决。真的是飞天,小辣也让我觉得很辣而且很油! 文明吃了11球的Haagen Daaz 雪糕。哇,真的是值得。。
我们吃了2个半小时,男生就想看球了。付了钱,他们就回宿舍。文明陪我回忠孝复兴站。临别前,谈了一下。
跟他说,我很怕,我怕我不够好。有点压力。 好像都没人陪。很担心。
他说,怕,怕什么?
怕不够好,他说,那你跟谁比?跟别人吗?还是自己。只要做到最好,就不用怕了啊。。而且哪有人一出生就会到完的,慢慢学习吧。 他还讲了很多,让我很安心。谢谢。
晚上,MSN 和TPG 聊了一下。
他说,I hope you come here is not because of me.我真的很感激他,因为他让我回想起我申请的初衷。
很庆辛,真的不是因为他。因为,如果,来这里的原因是他,那么我真的是觉得自己太逊了。我会很讨厌我自己,而且,也浪费了这次学习的机会。机会永远留给心态对的人,有人正确的心态,就会有正确的学习态度,有了正确的学习态度,就不轻易放弃。至少我是这么想的。
我不知道将来会发生什么事,会不会遇到很多挫折,可是我真的不想去逃避,想勇敢面对。无论是研究或是感情。
朋友都问,你毕业了去Internship 干嘛?!答案我有,可我懒得解释。就随便敷衍两句,就当作普通朋友的交代。谢谢你的疑问,让我更肯定我自己的答案。:)
好了,我要写progress report for in silico site directed mutagenesis.Dr. Peter 说我得告诉他我学了什么。
下次再说吧。。。。

王俞勻《全世界的人都知道》MV
This is the best Taiwan Drama I ever watched. I had watched it like so many times! I watched it during exam, when my brain stucks, I watched it when my roomate wasn't in room to accompany me and i watched it when I used to miss someone..:P but someone thinks that I am very childish watching this kinds of drama...Am I too old to watch this kinds of drama? =.=|||

Quick Jokes

Earworm
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on...
Poor ol' Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
Oh,I have an ear worm recently and I keep on repeating hearing the same song (Stephen Bishop-On and on) over and over again. The tune isn't catchy but it just goes into my mind easily.Luv it so much...(*.*)You know, in life, it's undeniable that whenever we are trying hard to run out from a difficult situation but we end up in another worst situation.Haiz, out of the frying pan and into the fire..But I wish to toss up my heart and see where it lands as I would rather hurt than feeling nothing at all.
My mom would always sing along to the radio whenever she hears "It might be you" :D If you ever watched Tootsie, you must be familiar with this song.
I indulged much in Frank Sinatra songs as well and he is the singer that popularized the song "My way". This man has an amazing voice!
Ah, just can't take this out of my head...On and on..On and on ...On and on...
If you wish to sing along, these are the lyrics: ^_^
ON and ON
Down in Jamaica
They got lots of pretty women
Steal your money
Then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with ol' Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan
On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on
Poor ol' Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when he feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on
When the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
Don't let her say goodnight
Got the sun on my shoulders
And my toes in the sand
My woman's left me for the some other man
Aw, but I don't care
I'll just dream and stay tan
Toss up my heart to see where it lands
On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when I feel like dying
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
IT MIGHT BE YOU
Time, I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there could be someone
Waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you and
I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you Maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life.
P.S I was wondering before this, why the Youtube videos I posted on my blog are wider and they didn't fit well. I just realized that I need to change the wide and height from the script.Alright, now they look neater and nicer.

Sharing is Caring
Being a PhD student is not the same as being an undergrad, nor like working as a research assistant. A PhD is extremely hard work requiring a lot of discipline and dedication. Don’t just start a PhD because it’s the line of least resistance.
2 Do choose your supervisor well.
The quality of your supervisor will have a direct impact on how much you get out of your PhD and how good (or bad) an experience it is. Don’t choose your PhD supervisor because he/she is the leader in his/her field, in fact that’s the most likely way to find a bad supervisor. Talk to the PhD students already working in the lab, find out whether they are happy and get information about the supervisor’s personality, level of attention (too much/too little?) and how well they plan their projects.
3 Don’t leave the responsibility for your project to others.
Don’t leave it to your supervisor to tell you how to work, what to read or plan your project. This is your learning experience: Get involved and take responsibility as early as possible.
4 Do get support from other PhD students.
When things get tough, the only people who can understand what you are going through are other PhD students (or former ones!). If there are other PhD students around you, arrange to go for regular coffee/lunch breaks with them. If not, try an online forum such as the Postgraduate Forum.
5 Don’t waste your first year.
It is easy to think that you have a long time to complete your PhD, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of security… time has a habit of disappearing fast. Start out as you mean to go on. Establish a strict work and study routine, and stick to it… you are not an undergrad anymore!
6 Don’t spend long hours in the lab for the sake of it.
Make sure that when you are in the lab, you are working and not just hanging around. I’ve seen many people spend 16 hours a day in the lab, but they only actually work for eight hours or less. An 8 hour day, with time away from the lab to relax your body and mind will keep you sharp and focused.
7 Do summarise your results as you go.
From the beginning, get yourself into the discipline of writing a monthly summary of experiments performed, results and conclusions and include all lab book references/data/images. The monthly reports will link up to make a story of your research and make your write-up much easier.
8 Don’t underestimate how long it will take to write up.
However long you think it will take you to write up, double or even trebling it will be closer to the truth. The write-up is the hardest part of your whole PhD. When my wife says that I have no concept of the pain and agony of childbirth, I beg to differ. A PhD is like a long uncomfortable pregnancy and the write up is the long and agonizing labor.
9 Do take every opportunity to practice and learn.
Treat your PhD studies like an intensive training program. Listen to and learn from those around you, take every opportunity to try new techniques, present data, meet other scientists etc.
10 Do get a life.
It’s not all hard work and heartache. Smell the flowers as you go along, enjoy the people around you and make sure you have some fun!

I can't agree more with point 6 and 10. Haha...Somehow, some people still think that spending long hours in lab is HARDWORKING.

Wednesday 0505
It's just like any other ordinary day. But, I refuse to go back together after having dinner. I really need some time for myself. I printed out the piano sheet I downloaded yesterday and went to the Music center nearby.It was quite late after we had our dinner, so without hesitation, I went in and ask if there is any piano room available for me to rent.I went there before during my undergraduate year because they have Jamming room.Last time, they used to charge me RM6/half an hour. hmmm....and after a year, they charged me RM7/half an hour. But what to do, I don't have a piano here with me. I start to appreciate the time when I am at home. I will not be charge for playing piano. Never mind la, as long as, I can practice the song I like. Woohoo!
I got to rent a room with classical piano. It doesn't really matter anyway as I am playing pop song. So, I started off with Yiruma
For 旅行的意义,I only get to play the first two pages then times up. Aiya..Kiss the rain really eat up my time. I shall come again next time to finish up the next two pages. I didn't call and I just walk back. Good for exercise but it takes me for about 30 minutes.

Poem?
There will always be the knockers
When its your turn to sing.
There will always be those who say
You should be doing some other thing.
Remember this is your life, mate.
Do your best right from the bell
Always remembering that if the job’s worth doing,
The job’s worth doing well.
Do not knock the knockers
They are a type of judge.
They test your courage and resolve
To stand tall and never budge.
They spur you to remember
As you hear that final bell
That if the jobs worth doing,
The job’s worth doing well.
You’ve made it to the finals
All is quiet on the wings.
Not a word is heard from those who said
You should be doing other things.
Be glad about the knockers
For giving you so much hell.
They helped you to remember
The job’s worth doing well.
(Wong, 2010)

Ee Lin's first lesson on F.Kuhlau
Oh ya, for Bar 9-12, it actually starts with left hand, because in right hand first count is a rest. Therefore to make the melody sound complete, emphasize the first note in left hand, pls. It goes the same for bar 13-16. Trickiest part: The first note for first pair of tuplet is a rest. So please beware of the tempo. Keep track and don't panic. If you are unaware of the count, you might play it a little bit faster or slower. If you lazy to start all over again, play from Bar 11/12, and continue just practicing the miscount part. ( I used to practice this for 1/2 an hour, just repeating the part) So no worries and don't give up.
I am still working on page 2 -3 . Actually it is an advice, your interpretation and mine might not be the same. Just for sharing purposes . *Tee hee :)
Sonatina is always a good book to start. Practice makes perfect and nice expression will come after you have master the notes ya. So please be patient while practicing. (*.*)
NB:To me, a well performed classical music will need to have certain criteria. First, accurate tempo. Next, so often you will come across it is much alike to chromatic scale so beware of finger turning (follow the fingering suggested) , try your best to make the turning smooth. Not to forget, liveliness! Make the piece sound lively by master the dynamics. Classical music is different from Romantic or 20th century piece, it is much simple yet soothing (没有很大的起伏,可是就有细水长流的感觉。)My sis is pretty good in playing Mozart classical piece. You need stamina for this (8-10 consecutive pages, not easy though.)
P.S To those students that ♥ classical music, please buy a notebook and jot down some notes about your feeling on a piece and how do you want it to be played. It can be a handbook that you can keep or share. This will definitely help in your ABRSM oral test. Will update you all when i completed the other two pages. Recently, I am really busy with my work.
Take care with ♪

又另一篇转载文章
转载(最近都很懒,靠转载来滥竽充数 ^^):
爱和喜欢的不同~喜欢是两个字,爱是一个字;喜欢是一种
面对你心爱的人 你的心跳会加速
然而面对你喜欢的人 你只会兴高采烈
面对心爱的人 冬天就象是春天
然而面对喜欢的人 冬天是个美丽的冬天
假如你凝视的是你心爱的人 你会脸红
假如你凝视的是你喜欢的人 你会微笑
面对心爱的人 你不能说出心中的一切
然而面对你喜欢的人你言无不尽
面对心爱的人 你容易羞涩
然而面对你喜欢的人你能展现真实的自我
心爱的人时刻萦绕在你的 心头
你不能直视心爱的人的眼睛
然而你却能欣然迎接喜欢的人的目光
当心爱的人哭泣 你会一同落泪
而当喜欢的人流泪 你会停下来安慰
爱的感觉源自眼睛
而喜欢的感觉源自耳朵
所以你如果不在喜欢你喜欢的人
你只需要堵住耳朵
但如果你试图闭上眼睛
爱变化做一滴泪水永远留在你的心中
世界上最甜美的事情 莫过于你慢慢地向我走来
静静地诉说着「我爱你」
暗恋~
世界上最遥远的距离 不是生与死
而是我就站在你面前 你却不知道我爱你
热恋~
世界上最令人察觉不到的事情 便是你我在一起时
那个不断流逝着的
据说叫做「幸福」的日子
痴恋~
世界上最遥远的距离
不是我就站在你面前 你却不知道我爱你
而是明明知道彼此相爱 却不能在一起
苦恋~
世界上最遥远的距离
不是明明知道彼此相爱 却不能在一起
而是明明无法抵挡这股想念
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里
失恋~
世界上最遥远的距离 我明明无法抵挡这股想念
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里
而是用自己冷默的心对爱你的人
掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
有些人一直没机会见,等有机会见了,却又犹豫了,相
有些事一直没机会做,等有机会了,却不想再做了。
有些话埋藏在心中好久,没机会说,等有机会说的时候
有些爱一直没机会爱,等有机会了,已经不爱了。
有些人很多机会相见的,却总找借口推脱,想见的时候
有些话有很多机会说的,却想着以后再说,要说的时候
有些事有很多机会做的,却一天一天推迟,想做的时候
有些爱给了你很多机会,却不在意没在乎,想重视的时
人生有时候,总是很讽刺。
一转身可能就是一世。
说好永远的,不知怎么就散了。最后自己想来想去竟然
没想到的是,一别竟是一辈子了。
于是,各有各的生活,各自爱着别的人。曾经相爱,现
即使在同一个小小的城市,也不曾再相逢。某一天某一
也许你很幸福,因为找到另一个适合自己的人。
也许你不幸福,因为可能你这一生就只有那个人真正用
读后感:靠!这世上怎么有那么会写的人, 把感情描述得那么细腻, 他们是爱情专家?那么多时间探讨爱与喜欢, 生命难道就只有这两样吗?有时间探讨你能为社会,家庭,朋友和爱人做些什么不是更好? Just think that life should be more than just this.

我不喜欢你,当你爱上我的时候,我喜欢上你,
当你离开我的时候,我却爱上你,
是你走得太快,还是我跟不上你的脚步,
我们错过了诺亚方舟,错过了泰坦尼克号,
错过了一切的惊险与不惊险,我们还要继续错过……
但是,请允许我说这样自私的话,
多年后,
你若未娶,
我还未嫁,
那,
我们能不能在一起??

谢谢你的不珍惜,让我学会了放弃
转发的,与大家分享:
一 个女孩上自习,太凉了,
她发短信让男朋友去送衣服给她,男孩打游戏拒绝了.
这件事让她郁闷了两天然后气消了,
虽然是件小事,不会影响两人以后, 但是她说,
她会记住, 以后自习一定会带衣服,
如果哪天忘记了, 即使冷死,也不再会叫他送.
我很能明白这种感觉.
很久以前,一个女孩某天夜里,
心情特别低回,特别想念某个人的安慰,
然后半夜时分,打电话给他,说很想听他说话,
电话那头的他从睡梦中醒 来,不耐烦的敷衍她.
从此以后,她再没有伤心无助时给他打过电话.
我发现女孩身上有一种猫性.
小猫在撒娇或者做错事的时候,需要别人的安 慰和教导,
如果这时主人打击了它,它会狠狠记住,不会再犯.
女孩,有着猫一样的自尊.特别是陷入爱情里的女孩...
在别人看来无关 紧要,其实需要呵护,
因为爱,已经让她的心变得柔软.
她的这一点自尊,其实是要你对她的在乎.
我看过一句特别经典的话,
有时候女孩需要一个男孩,就像逃机者需要降落伞,
如果此时此刻他不在, 那么以后他也不必在了.
真的,就是这样!
如果哪天猫咪用坚定的眼神看着你说我可以的时候,
那么猫咪已经做好了离开 的准备了!
女孩是要独立,
但是 独立到不再会对你不讲道理的撒娇任性,
不再会无厘头的缠着你,
你觉得你对于她同路人还有多大区别呢?
女孩的猫性不是每个男孩都有幸看 到的,
因为喜欢你,在意你才对你发出特有的咕噜噜声,
其他人只能听到猫喵喵叫,
而这一声咕噜噜只是为你而生,
有几个人会明白呢??
我们爱折腾
只是爱折腾他而已。
如果有一天
我们慢慢发现自己可以一个人玩都不觉得闷
很久不捏他也不会手痒
只是静静的待在他旁边
不再想着法儿去玩它
谁能知道那时的我们该有多难过呢
男孩总会说女孩无理取闹
说女孩没事找事
说女孩不讲道理
说女孩不可理喻
为什么不去想想
她在对待别人的时候
为什么不是这样的态度
没错
如果有一天
她不再对你撒娇
她不再对你任性
她不再缠着你跟你要这个要那个
她不再因为你的任何事情微笑或者皱眉
那么
你就永远的失去她了!

*Hanon- he is famous so i need not to elaborate more la...practice, practice and practice this is what he emphasized.
My life is progressing in "agitato" mode. Ee Lin, be more discipline, don't practice before the class just about to start. I always feel guilty when I asked my students whether they got practice or not as I didn't practice as well. Arghhhh.....T.T

张韶涵-看得最远的地方
作词 姚若龙 作曲 陈小霞
你是第一个发现我
越面无表情越是心里难过
所以当我不肯落泪地颤抖
你会心疼的抱我在胸口
你比谁都还了解我
内心的渴望比表面来得多
所以当我跌断翅膀的时候
你不扶我但陪我学忍痛
我要去看得最远的地方
和你手舞足蹈聊梦想
像从来没有失过望受过伤
还相信敢飞就有天空那样
我要在看得最远的地方
披第一道曙光在肩膀
被泼过太冷的雨滴和雪花
更坚持微笑要暖得像太阳
有时候觉得我们很不一样
你能看见我看不到的地方
有时候又觉得我们很像
都爱仰起头不听命运的话
P.S LYC, 一起实现梦想吧!买车别急啦。。。

Awkward
If your student is between 5-12 years old,
1) they will just listen and trust what you said. It is very easy to gain their trust, but do remember never betray their trust.Extremely vital!!!!Don't give false hope to them.
2) they will talk a lot. Non-stop. To be frank, I am already very talkative, they are more talkative than me and I would classify them as hyperactive. Wuahahahaha....
3) they will give you their house's phone number, their parent's phone number, their siblings phone number and insist that you should call them. Aiyo...the paper fulled with phone numbers is placed in their pencil box by their parents, just in case anything urgent happens.
4) they want to have extra time for playing games rather than playing piano. (I can understand this very well, this is what we need to overcome in order to learn something new and unfamiliar with.)
5) show them something new, and you will see how they are attracted to you. (I mean games)
If your student is above 20 years old,
1) they would not talk so much in class. (Normally is a one-to- one lesson, if the person doesn't open his mouth, then I really don't know how to teach. )
2) It's hard to teach them how to play la , by demonstration. Can I touch their hands when they actually play wrongly? How to ask whether they mind or not ...no idea
3) Overall, the class is boring and no fun at all. (Unless he/ she is handsome or pretty) that would be another story.

Wesley cried today while we played games during music appreciation class. hmmm... i noticed that he is a bit 'kiasu' and ego. I realised that playing games can be the best way to understand your students. When he started to cry, I just stop the game. Then he cried even louder, why winning is so important to him? Why he just can't lose to others? I favored him a lot, but i really want him to learn his lesson. So after terminating the game, I asked him to just sit at the corner as the class still need to be continued. He knew that I was annoyed by his attitude, so he still obey what i asked him to do but still in tears. Class continued. Everybody seems keep looking at him but somehow i still be able to make them focused on what i am going to deliver.
Class ended.
I asked him to come near me. He walked slowly, no more tears but still keep rubbing his eyes. "Go bring your tumbler and drink water first. "
Talk to him. He didn't reply but just nodded his head.
It isn't about winning (games), but it is your attitude while playing it.
What for winning a game but you don't enjoy it. If it makes you cry and sad, there is no point playing it anymore , right? In this case, you should know win and lose are common and there is no big deal about it. Just take it. He looked at me with his dry eyes (effect after crying so much) and nodded a few times. I guess he did learn something today. A lesson that might be helpful in future.
Tough day.
Back to lab to cryopreserve MDCK cell and seed cells for infection.
yi huey flew back from Guang Zhou. We had yum cha session at Papa rich cafe.
Chat till mid night. Got sourvenirs from china and Vietnam ( Mun mun just back from Vietnam (company trip).

Learning music
Luckily, my mom did think over thoroughly what i had suggested and voiced out. At last, I get to learn from another teacher who stay quite near to my house and instead for her to come, I will go to her house to learn.
Her first impression to me is she is another normal lady but when she played the piano. Speechless, I would say. Not only technical wise, and her expression and dynamics is so strong. You will know she is not just playing the notes, but the stories behind. Not many people can actually achieve that. It is easy to find a pianist that can play a piece really well (i.e no slips, no wrong notes and always at the right tempo) but to discover a pianist that can play perfectly (i.e no slips, no wrong notes, always at the right tempo and never forget the expression and dynamics) , is not easy though... hehe...expression doesn't come with practice only but it depends on how much you know about the composer and the background of the piece whether it is composed by Bach, Schubert,Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, or Mozart and between what period they composed the sonata whether it is baroque, classical, romantic .20th century or contemporary.
The composer that I like the most is Beethoven. Why? I couldn't explain. He is the composer that have lots of story to tell..You can clearly notice that if you go deeper into and appreciate his music. But it is really hard to play the song he composed. There are several reasons. Firstly, he likes to create dissonant sounds in his pieces and it is so inharmonious that makes you feel like you are playing the wrong notes. Secondly, his pieces seldom have a fix tempo, rubato is common in his romantic pieces. Smart ..Smart ...Smart..It adds lots of flavor to a piece but once you interpret it wrongly, then it turns out to be NOISE which my family suffers a lot. Wuahahaha...When I started to learn a Beethoven piece, my bro will get frustrated easily and always try to distract me and ask me to watch TV with him. So sad..haha...but me myself sometimes also cannot tahan..It is not like pop song, you play, you sing, and people enjoy. Beethoven is aggresive and soft it might start of with ff , fff or sf and the next note could be pp and ppp. What a complicated man! hehe..when i choose Beethoven pieces for my grade 8 exam, my teacher and I are nervous. It can be an advantage or disadvantage by choosing the music he composed.Not many candidates will actually pick the song. They prefer classical (long piece but lots of repetition and the melody and rhythm is always harmonious. Therefore, whoever that able to deliver the Beethoven piece well will really achieve high score. So risky. Besides, it is very hard to achieve high marks if you choose classical song because lots of candidates chose the same song and during exam , the examiner have to examined so many candidates and if every candidate play the same song over and over again. Definitely it would be bored and plain boring.
Just like what my teacher said, 'It is the matter of how much you understand him and why he wrote it that way'
Interpretation is the key. But the examiner think that i played the piece like young beethoven. The reason is i still can't switch the dynamics and expression naturally. From suddenly loud to suddenly soft, and to make it sound naturally is so tough. Sometimes I might go overboard and it seems i have overdone it. Sometimes I just can't portray the whole things. Frustrated. At that time, my teacher and I will just pause for a while and just have a break..Go for scale or arpeggios ...then come back to pieces. Or we will discuss about horoscope. Both of us believe that horoscope does affect a person characteristic and personality.
Now, is my turn to nurture and not just only teach. I want them to see me as a mentor but not just another ordinary teacher. To me, there is no such things like no potential or talent. It just come from your heart, whether you like it or not. If you like it, hard work should not be a problem. What else that matters then ?
p/s: got lots of grammatical error..but i lazy to correct, just bear with me.
More to write but will save it for next post..

500 Days in Summer

500 Days in Summer ...
As narrated, 'This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.'Nonetheless, I did have some thoughts after finish watching but I can't really recall back. Maybe this movie review should have written earlier.So what i did is, I try to google out the memorable movie quotes and somehow try to relate back. =)
Ee Lin: It's true, at least to some extent.
Tom: People buy cards because they can't say what they feel or are afraid to. And we provide them the service that let's them off the hook.
Ee Lin: FYI, Tom works in a greeting cards company and brainstorms greeting cards quotes is one of his daily responsibilities. I like to buy and send greeting cards because I love to receive one. It's just that simple or I have difficulty in expressing myself? hmmm..not the latter one i guess.
Summer: Well, you know, i guess it's 'cause I was sitting in a deli and reading Dorian Gray and a guy comes up to me and asks me about it and...now he's my husband.
Tom: Yeah, and so?
Summer: So what if I had gone to the movies? What if I had gone somewhere else for lunch? What if I had gotten there 10 minutes later? It was- It was meant to be . And I just kept thinking ...Tom was right.
Tom: No
Summer: Yeah, I did (laugh)
Summer: I did. It's just wasn't me that you were right about.
Ee Lin: hmmm..self experienced it, and you'll know. This would be the quote that i like the most.
Summer: I woke up in the morning and i just knew.
Tom: knew what?
Summer: What i was never sure of with you.
Ee Lin: I guess humans as a species have some natural instinct to be able to lead you to the path that suits you best?
I guess that's all for this post. Go watch it, if this post has aroused your interest.

Dilemma
hmmm....this post will be quite messy, not written in chronological order and it would be an emotional one. I just want to vomit out the thought that stuffed my brain.
To be frank, SAB lab is a lab that has lots of potential to grow. I am sure that I would be able to learn a lot from this lab if i stay long enough. They have their own sequencher, Microarray, Flow cytometry, Real time-PCR machine, and lots more. Not to forget, the new lab is going to start operating soon. It is a BSL 3 lab and it would not be a problem for us to handle highly infectious material anymore soon. But how come i still don't feel a sense of belonging? Undeniably, the seniors are friendly and kind. The supervisors are good and understanding. Colleagues/ peers are helpful. What other things that matters?
I don't know....
My mom is not feeling well these days. Is really NOT FEELING WELL.
She keep on asking me to quit if i don't feel happy but can i ?
Why think of quitting when there is nothing happens..and just unhappy without a reason.
Can't blog anymore. I need to work on my project now.
