Happy Halloween, people!
our estate has lots of families celebrating it, so different from where we used to live. saw so many ang-moh kids in their costumes and get-ups they are adorable. too bad we won't be home later...they might drop by for trick-or-treating. today is also the LAST lab session of the semester which calls for a grand celebration that would've been possible if not for the fact that it's going to be the exams in a matter of 2 weeks thus celebrating now feels kinda weird and wrong... anyhow, lab today was good, partly because of the relatively easy nature of the experiment. and the over-abundance of yield (mine was like... 200%). here're some picutres!

my product : vanadium complex... looks like mashed up crayon.

a look into my fume cupboard

the aisle of fume cupboards. (i'm so proud of this picture it was as if i was meant to take it cos at this very moment every single person was not in his/her seat bwahaha.)

my apparatus- and i'm also proud to say that throughout the whole 10 weeks i didnt break a single piece of glassware. whoopee. yes, i spilled the silicon oil-bath on my labcoat's sleeve, yes i sprayed water all over my work space, yes i knocked over my products, yes i didnt close the stop-cock of the separatory funnel and let half my yield flow away but no i did NOT break anything!!!

and i made a new friend today ahaha cos we wore the same shirt! this is Hui Hui and she has a twin sister called Jing Jing and we just decided to just take a picture at the end of lab...kinda spontaneous and funny...too bad her sister is not in the picture. she said we're triplets for the day. i actually mistook the both of them for the same person in lab once :p

ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
it just doesn't feel the same as when screaming out loud. all this shit for a lousy piece of paper. xinyi told me 9 out of 10 of the richest people in the world didn't go to university. they are the REAL smart asses. they didn't let their life be bounded by a bloody certificate... what does it certify anyway, that yes you've been through 4 years of torture-sweat, blood and dead brain cells among other things- and survived... we should film a Survivor series in local universities... it's a different kind of survival. we've to outcompete, outsmart and get out of the frigging place. University life- the ultimate pro-aging process.

for that breeze of inspiration and sense of renewed hope, and for that little reminder that life isn't so depressing, bleak and worthless.

you've got to watch this if you haven't already done so. i cried (well, that's not surprising) but i didn't expect myself to. the tears just... wooosh. and the goosebumps were there of course.
