When I First Saw You, I Was Afraid To Talk To You
When I First Talked To You, I Was Afraid To Like You
When I First Liked You, I Was Afraid To Love You
Now That I Love You, I'm Afraid To Lose You
Yoz.. Went to school today in the morning for a gym session with Fuh Yuan and Jun Yi. All of us started kinda light and increased the training intensity slowly.. All of us were like "woah.. out of shape le.. no power ..". Even ah guan was having difficulty in lifting the weights. So we were there from 11 to approximately 1 plus. After that we had lunch at mac then met up with shang feng, wahyudin that group. We went to play pool after that and on the way i picked up my Carbonex 8 that i sent for restringing.
Most importantly today, i went to Kelly Poon's 在世界中心 campus concert!! :P haha. While waiting for her to appear, the Foreign Bodies danced on stage. It was kinda interesting as the whole dance followed something like a plot. So ya.. Then Kelly came out!! She was wearing one of the costumes she wore in the SHAKALAKA BABY mv. Yup, you guessed right, she started the concert with that song. Throughout the concert she sang the songs in her new album and told of her times in Taiwan and such. In the middle there was this game section where 5 of the audience had to dance the chorus part in SHAKALAKA BABY. In the end, a girl won the Kelly T shirt. The whole thing was in chinese actually. Luckily for me i know a bit of chinese and don't need Shang Feng's translations.
Well that's all for today then. I don't think i'll have much time starting from next week onwards to blog since the practicals will all be starting. So every night will be like report night. So Zzzzz lor..
A Special World
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Yo.. Haha.. my updates getting a little more frequent huh.. :D dunno whether its a good thing or not.
Today at the lab was really bad.. Not very bad but bad anyways if u think in terms of results and doing the lab itself.. The day started off bad. First of all my transformants did not grow. Bloody hell.. Waste my friggin time la yesterday.. But nvm.. That's just the start of it.
Supposed to make SDS-PAGE. no idea why but fail so many times.. gel polymerize too fast.. spill this, spill that.. pipette tip came off.. really waste a lot of time..
When Jun Yi was preparing the sample, he was suppose to use the protein loading dye but he used the protein ladder. dunno why sia.. we are not usually this blur..
We were supposed to streak any growth on the transformant plate onto a new just LB plate.. We dried the thing in an oven.. waste more time ah.. then the cover.. the bloody cover.. not the damn agar.. got bacteria growing on it.. stupid contamination.
The gel that we took damn long to make broke when we were taking out the comb.. bloody hell la... damn irritating la.. the stupid stacking gel was so damn weak that it broke.. Nvm.. i personally remade the damn thing again and luckily it worked fine.
See? damn screwed up day rite? haizz..
Kelvin brought this super old school camera that he bought for $5. Playing and taking pictures with it was very fun. Haha.. I can't remember the last time i looked through a pin hole to take a picture.. We had to manually turn the lens to sharpen the image.. Basically it was really cool for something so old.
Talking about pictures i took some pictures just now. They are all here. Enjoy!!
Today we took part in the Caltex National Karting Challenge 2007!! Woots~!!
It was super fun. Riding the go kart at super high speeds!! (not really fast if u look at it speedwise but once u are on the kart it will be like "woah.. fast sia") Feeling the G force at the corners! Making split second decisions as to when to exactly turn! Overall the adrenaline rush was great!
Haha. A little too energetic, i know... But ya.. It was seriously fun.
The order of racers were as follows: Shang Feng, Hafiz, Wahyudin and last but not least Syafiq.
The crazy racers SF and Syafiq were at the ends coz SF was supposed to provide the general pace and Syafiq was supposed to compact our overall timing.
Each racer was supposed to take approximately 5 minutes each but the event was so exciting that u wun even realize time flying by. Without even realizing it would be your turn on the track. Yeah.. If possible i would like to join the event again next year.
Below are the photos of the event today. Presenting Project K!! K is for Kimochi. It means feelings in Jap. And as Wahyudin says it, "~Project Kimochi - Race For The Ones We Love~"
