Till the End of Oct

Hmm... Rock camp just over... It's the last rock camp that I will be attending. Oh my... Thinking back about the previous camps.... Ranging from flying chickens, to CB yuen talk, to lots of sentosa and blah blah blah. Definitely unforgettable memories. No doubt, climbing team is my second family. Ok. Stop emo-ing.

Anyway... Straight after climbing carnival, I had lab. Got to prepare samples and drugs for the rats the next day. Ended around evening time. Shagged.

And then..........................The next day... I struggled to wake up in the rainy morning and left yixiang's room hastily for lab at 830am...

Guess what time i ended. Holy crap................ 745pm..... Thats like nearly 12hours of lab. With 20min chicken rice alone break. I pipetted the most number of wells on a microplate in my entire 4years in NUS. Continuously for 1hour. Pipette until pump. microlitres of reagents.... Volume so minute that you dont even feel you are adding anything in. Crap. To make things worse... the aircon cold until I wanna sleep while pipetting.

And then...............................I got to run back and fro between Animal Holding Unit (AHU) and my lab. Multipe times. Not fun, I tell you....

And then............................ Luckily my lab supervisor is nice enough to help me deal with the blood drawing as I perform microplate reading. Otherwise... 12hours lab becomes 24hours lab....

BUT.......................at the end of the whole day...it was all worth while. Managed to obtain relatively good results and objectives of the last few weeks were met. So thats a consolation. *Pat Pat on the back.

then it was off to yixiang's room. Packed up and off in a jerky cab.

With the attained effective dose of 150mg/kg, I will start the phase two of my FYP. 3weeks of chronic feeding with the TCM. Which means 3weeks of school everyday. Including saturdays and sunday. =(

Now... it is back to Universe and Cell bio. And many many many projects... pls start ok?

End of Oct.... come come....
