I have booked my tickets to Japan as below:
17/9/2010 - Seoul to Osaka
26/9/2010 - Nagoya to Seoul
10 days of roadtrip! The only thing I look forward in 2010 is my trip of the year: Japan!
We planned to scale Mt Fuji! And hopefully I can realise this because I miss the adventures and adrenaline rush after being dormant during winter.
Anybody wana go japan? We can meet up there! haha it'll be so fun and its a different feeling to meet your friends overseas =D

Down with....
Flu, projects, research, exams....
My throat is inflammed and I dread using my voicebox. haha aint it a miracle to hear this from me? ^^
Went to Costco (a hyper mart from USA) yesterday with Inas (my senior) and bought 50,000 worth of food that sharkie told me to stop buying food for the next 1 mth =X
My throat got worst yesterday and I popped 1 prednisolone, 2 serriatiopeptidase and 1 panadol. It worked and luckily the sore did not worsen and no fever, else I think I will die on my way to school due to the hectic schedule this week.
Woke up 7am and reach lab 820am.
Performed time-dependent drug experiments till 930am.
Lab meeting 930am - 12pm
I have 6hr, 9hr, 12hr, 24hr plates of cell to harvest for today and tomorrow,simultaneously with WB experiments. So, I'm sure no one would wish to wake up at 7am to go to the lab with a flu and a throbbing head =(
Haha given me in the past, I'd surely take an MC.
I realise I need ALOT of self-discipline for performing time-based assays. But now I admit to fate.
PhD is not a test of knowledge but an excruciating test of self-discipline and independence, and mine stops at MSc. ^o^
I chose this path, I must finish it perfectly.
The research in SNU or rather my faculty is intensive. The students are usually left by themselves to perform research and they usually manage to generate paper, even for MS students. The competition is high.
Esp if I'm a foreigner, all eyes will be on me and my experimental data. Ppl expect more especially if you're from advanced countries. Stress... I really don't wish to be linked to my country for everything I do. Like ppl will say ''oh, you're from spore so you'll surely speak eng well, I expect more from you, this well that well...'' In their eyes, Spore is a role model.
I used to lament alot about korea, their culture and ppl but after being here for almost 10 mths, I think Korea is not that bad afterall. You just have to assimilate into the culture. Eg: Shoving your way in subway, being mean to ppl who are mean to you. haha nah kidding.
We had the freshman's party last friday and it was a blast. so funny. The students did cross dressing and are creative in their plays. The difference btw korean SCIENCE students and spore science students: More creative, more daring, more fashionable and more manly.
The students are fashion followers. Haha I like to look at some of their dressing. Kinda inspirational and school is not boring with EYE CANDIES! Girls & guys alike. So, I got a fashion shock when I went back to Spore for CNY. Orchard Rd is filled with kids in slippers and ugly cotton on basics. City hall is slightly better. There is no place you can DRESS UP in Spore. Ppl will think you are weird. This is so sad.....Where can I wear my MJ jacket to?! =(
Celebrated our 5th mth. haha yea. so wu liao right. every mth also must celeb. haha we went to COEX for Clash of Titans in 3D. Not really amazing. I still prefer LOTR. 3D is nothing to hype about. Thanks for planning and trying to do things that I like =) Appreciate it. Simple but happy.
Lijia has went back to China. Sometimes I lunch alone or with my Nepal friend. I don't know since when being alone is no longer intimidating...in fact, it has become my time to think about stuff, to slow down my 'korean' pace and be myself.
After I graduate maybe I should do a trip alone. haha like the Bai Quan Nu wang show! Travel ard Taiwan and coincidentally meet Lucas! Woohoo!
Alrighty, I am talking non-stop coz I am waiting to harvest my 9hr cells and do western blot....
*Where should I go next?''
