it's not a news de, got the notice last week. There's a minor change because LAN beisong how IMU is doing their sem 10 final.

Before the change, the passing criterias are:
1) Sem 10 we only had an exit viva. It's tested base on the portfolios we hand in during the postings in Sem 10
2) CFCS (some stupid crap project that required us to follow up a patient with chronic disease for 2 years) grade: satisfactory

That's it, that's all you need to graduate once u pass the sem 9 finals. let see how the change will affect me:
1) Still an exit viva, but it's renamed to 'clinical examination & portfolio discussion'. The addition of 'clinical examination' means that the things they ask is not confined to what we discuss in our portfolios anymore. So they can basically ask anything under the sun and since it's an one station exam, if u fuck up, you FUCK OFF, no more graduation party...:(
2) an addition of 'ON THE JOB CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT'. Hell, this mean everyday is examination. Not allow to fail more than once. Yeah right, now sem 10 sounds sooo interesting.
3) CFCS grade: satisfactory

sien. Sem 9 already sound so sien, now sem 10 got some MINOR modification some more....life seem hard ahead...

anyway, enough with my self pity. Su Lin is having her final paper this friday, wish ya all the best darling...:) so envy you....graduate de...i still got one full year ahead...one hard full year...

First let’s take a look at her territory in biotechnology lab. (Even though I’m majoring in microbiology, my final year project has nothing to do with my major. I was given a research related to molecular biology which is a division of biotechnology.)

Well, it’s not easy to be a microbiologist, Meng Seong and I nearly became roasted chicken wings in the lab. A biotech student who operated the autoclave machine without filling distilled water nearly caused an explosion in the lab. Meng Seong and I were culturing the bacteria happily near the autoclave machine!! Fortunately, the postgraduates found out earlier.

I’m not bad though, I nearly burnt myself!! Look at my pity lab coat.. YES, I burnt it when I was spreading the culture at a lamina flow! Phew, it was close! My cultures were all contaminated as I blew out the fire on my lab coat near the culture plate (Foolish!)…

Well, I was not alone in the lab. I have visitors..Ya, they are “Mousey” and “Ratty”. But they were sentenced to death on the charge of larceny (stealing and eating agar plates).

Besides that, I broke my own record by staying awake 26 hours with MC in the lab doing our research a day before we went back for Mid-term break and CNY holiday. MC was amazed as I managed to get the desired genes and clones within the 26 hours. (Thanks God, I went back happily for my holiday.)

Here are some pictures of my seniors, who are positioned in the main lab.

I really appreciate their help during my research. Thank you!

My room mate was quite busy since last week. Okay, I know, this is our final semester. Thus, her “Ke po” + “nothing-to-do” coursemates were busy organizing farewell dinner here and there…Starting at Pizza Hut to Khaleel (a famous mamak), and then Ibu’s Kitchen (That’s why they went there because they are all mummy boys and girls who still need their “IBU” to milk them.)

Besides, the Queensbay shopping mall has become her second home.. Yesterday was the n times she visited that incomplete shopping mall.. She loves the Queensbay so much because there are plenty Japanese restaurants. Well, I don’t like sushi (It’s a food for sissy according to Dan..Actually I hate seaweed! It stinks!)

Gurr... Now, you can at least have an idea on how many days she had left me alone at the hostel. I don’t like to eat alone stupidly at canteen especially DINNER!!

Well, last night, my anger has already exceeded the limit and I decided to punish that little mummy girl who still fancy farewell party like a student of secondary school.

Well, this was her punishment…

(You better not cry, you better not shout, you better not scream, I’m telling you why, Sulin is having her revenge!)

Since she loves to call herself snow white, here I made her dream come true!

Took this pic from inside the church while attending today's Easter Sunday service. I know, I am suppose to listen to sermon but heck, the pastor was busy baptizing people, I must find something to do right? Somehow, the sky gave me a peaceful feeling. Hmm....it's after all Easter Sunday right? The day Jesus rose from the dead, we should rejoice and enjoy the blessings...

Since it was the end of the semester and we were finishing our final year project soon, my coursemates wanted to have a little celebration after spending almost one year hard work on our research.

They decided to go Seoul Garden, which located in Gurney shopping complex, to have steamboat. You can see me in formal suit as i went there right after the lauching ceremony of Toastmaster Club.

Kopi loves the restaurant so much as it provides her favourite ice-cream. She took a bowl of ice-cream once she entered the restaurant while the rest were busy choosing food at another corner.

We ordered kimchi soup (on the left) and chinese herbal soup (Sorry, i forgot the name)..

I like the char siew chicken very much..so i covered the whole hot plate with the chicken!

After massive intake of food, i made myself a bowl of "fruit ABC"..

I get myself ice-cream....


finally...some buns..

and we called it a day after window shopping at Gurney...
