sian, yesterday's expt failed again. I have failed the gene knockout expt since last xmas....zzzz.. 2 friends have advised me to go bugis pray so today i made my way to bugis temple and pray. In the temple, I was thinking what the fortune teller told me about my yin yuan and recently, just feeling strange. So i decided to ask how my yin yuan is going. haha i just draw qian once and it is the correct one liao (swift; i just ask yin yuan and poof, it was a siao4 bei1 for twice and so my mum was saying it must be very accurate :).Alas, the qian was about: "The virtuous man stands apart from villians: whose conduct will show their faults....you must look for a genuine friend, for no one except him can really help u....." 君子莫体小人为，事若差池各是非；琴鸣须用知音听，守常安静得依稀。 Somehow, it seems like my partner havent arrived yet? haha. But wat really bring me thinking is that genuine friend connecting to my yin yuan (advisor???) Wah, it is so profound. Alas, possibly that fortune teller that i went to is not that accurate afterall :) so i dont need to worry about anything unduly.
Anyway, I was thinking about buying a comfortable covered shoes to wear and i liked the traces shoes:) The price is steep to me coz i have never bought a near 70 bucks shoes before but luckily there is a 20% discount and so i have to paid around 50bucks. I keep consoling myself that it is worth it since i need a comfortable shoe to comfort myself. Anyway, the design isnot very nice but i am more of the practical side. I prefer comfortable shoes than nice looking shoes.
i am sleeping in the flat near ntu campus next week. I am not sure whether i am used to it but i know this will definitely benefitted me:)

Lost.....................
Yesterday went home at 1 plus am. I started my experiment at 10am w/o rest but still end up at 1plus am. Luckily the fyp student i am working with has a car and of coz i would give him a treat when i have the chance. haha coz it is not on his way back home; he lives in tampines. But i know that this would be the last time because I would feel guilty. Once is enough already! yah. How i wished then that my flat is just near school and i can just walk to my flat and sleep...zzzzz.
Today i messaged my friend again to ask when i can meet up with the landlady. Yeash. she said tuesday. It is very tiring to sleep so late at night and wake up early the next day; lack of sleep.
Back to my research. I couldnt get good result :( and also during the group meeting, The other 1st year and me were asked by prof to meet him to discuss about our thesis project. I do not have time to think about my project because i was busily carrying out the experiment and planning each experiment to make sure it progresses smoothly and everyday has experiments to do. Each day i would update what would i be doing on that day and the subsequent day. The advisors were my korean senior and postdoc. i was thrown to be in charge of this task called single site mutagenesis. And if i should encounter any weird result, i can ask for their advices. Otherwise, I would be in charge of planning and performing the protocol. Sometimes I would give suggestions to improve the results but i just feel that i take a longer time to find some suggestions and is not as deep in thoughts as those given by postdoc and korean senior. I need to read up more i guess and to accumulate more experiences.
So, i planned to come to school on sunday afternoon till night to work on experiment and to carry out some preparations for the next day experiments (heard that not only me is going back to lab on sunday). I realise that it is impossible to say "ok, today i do expt" because there is a need for preparations and all these need planning. Monday, i dont have class so i can spare some time extra to do more experiment. But, regarding the coursework, i have not touched anything on it yet. I just hope I can catch up last minute.
I really hope that i can get good results next week....
