Smell the November air!

Two submissions due on the 17^th of Nov accompanied with tonnes of journals to read up on, a debate to prepare for, and 7 other courseworks that are due by the end of the semester. And they say Uni life is easy. One thing for sure… Not in mine! I basically quit all SA associated activities, clubs and societies and even a break from SMC. Its coming to Week 6 and the stress level just got higher. I foresee the next 2 weeks being pretty much the same. Sleepless nights, burying myself in journals related to intra-specific competition & growth analysis, salt tolerance, inter-cropping of Sugar Cane in Mauritius and Analysis Markers. There is plenty more besides the ones mentioned. I’m pretty nervous about the GM debate and the poster presentation.

What did I just get myself into?

Shall get back to work now! I don’t have much time left.

Project 52 - Week 15 (19/10/09 -> 25/10/09)

Fast forward...(I'll probably update them later on when I have the time)

Week 4 of Year 2.

Life as a Plant Biotechnology student is draining out every ounce of energy from me. Week 4 so far have been hectic. No joke, Week 1 was light and as the weeks passed, the timetable gets more and more packed. This week is the record breaking one with 10am to 4pm classes/labs from Monday to Thursday and half day on Friday. Lab on Monday was on PCR and then, products of the PCR underwent Gel Electrophoresis yesterday.

Spent the morning in Tiscra 2 feeling as lost as ever with Dr. Chin. She herself couldn't figure out how to get the results and spent almost 2 hours on troubleshooting. Best part was that she left us just like that! I somehow or rather, managed to get the files sorted out in the end and the classmates all knew how it worked in 5 minutes.

Life? It’s all good. I’ve always told myself not to sulk over tiny matters and move on. There’s so much more to life! On the brighter side, I’m very thankful to have friends who listen to my stories and stand by my decisions. One thing I always had in mind was that friends of quality are much more important than just the quantity.

I think there's something wrong with my metabolic rate. I've been eating much more than what I usually take in and yet feel hungry an hour after that. Can't wait for the weekends! Need to rejuvenate myself. This week have been hectic!

One month away.

A month till I turn 21!

For now, I’m not excited about it. There’s way too much work to submit before the 18th. Due dates are on the 17th. So, my prediction is that I’ll be spending my 21st Birthday looking like a zombie.

Aman Rimba, Janda Baik (22 Sept 2009)

Raya Open House at Aman Rimba, Janda Baik.

4 more days!

The day is coming too soon!

I feel a little anticipation to meet the mobility students in my class.
I'm dreading the day that I have to move in to my hostel.
I'm stuffing myself with good food for the past few weeks.
I shall start starving myself when uni starts.



Gonna edit Aman Rimba, Janda Baik photos soon.

Less than 3 weeks...

Alright peeps, I know I haven't been that much of a blogger recently. I sorta abandoned the blog for twitter.

3 weeks till Uni starts again. It's Year 2. I'm predicting loads of time spent in the library or room, reading journals, books and more journals. Then, comes the horror of picking a FYP topic and internship during summer. Ahh, not good. Am looking forward to more lab works though. BUT not the reports.

Year 1 was filled with sleepness nights to rush in reports that were never ending.

Still waiting for my accommodation to be settled. Its either me staying on campus or traveling daily.
