Cleared my modules

I am so happy that i have cleared all 6 modules (4 chemical engineering core, 1 bioengineering core, 1 bioengineering elective and 1 mini-group teaching module). I am satisfied with the results and have proven that nothing is impossible :)

Currently, I am busy with designing my project regarding using engineered Ecoli to kill S.Aureus (a pathogen). I hope that I can master synthetic biology technique over these few years and afterwhich i can combine synthetic chemistry (organic chemistry) with synthetic biology as a research field next time if i am still keen in research. There is a new postdoc who came in recently. She was a nus chemical engineering bachelor and studied her phd in university of queensland. She is a singaporean. I think it feels good to have a singaporean colleague in the lab. She specialises in synthetic biology and she is now only 28 and would be doing postdoc for 1 year. So, i bet she would be a lecturer in university after postdoc; a promising singaporean talent :)

I am glad that my labmates like the bread that I have made (which my siblings find it plain) and they ask me when I am making it again. I am glad that they have enjoyed it which makes me look forward to making it again.hehe.

Besides planning for my project, to make sure i dont feel out of place from lab, I volunteered my help to korean senior. Boss keep wanting me to do sth that has oxidative stress and she is the only one who is doing it. So perhaps, that's y Boss wants me to learn from her. She has a complicated personality that I find it hard to comprehend. Perhaps we have different personalities. Sometimes, she feels moody all of a sudden and got once last week, she said that she minds my presence (she is working on her expt) and tell me to go have my lunch. Sometimes, she suddenly feel happy and keep smiling and this includes giving me heart attack (You know, when I am thinking or focusing on my work, a sudden sneeze or a tap on my back would make my heart fall out) and she said she has accomplished her task when i responded that she has frightened me. I remembered she told me that she has a good friend cum lunch buddy and they like to be silent while walking to canteen because they would be thinking about their project and they understand each other's silence. But, she chats every time we meet in the bus. A really difficult friend to fathom but i guess that is what makes everyone unique. All friends cant be the same and that's how we learn things from friends.
