曾经太年轻

開始旅行寂寞很清醒　
我在靠近過去的邊景
有些戀人只是　路過時的風景

曾經太過年輕　
卻絕對真心
我給的愛始终任性　
不懂花開只一次的愛情
曾經太過年輕　
淚純真透明
你的堅定　
我仍然還相信

Struggles

I don't know how much I still can take all this and I know that if I am not letting out my frustrations I am gonna explode sometime soon!

Research work, BE work, EDT work are all pilling up and yet it's so hard to find someone to share my workload even it's just setting up a dhamma talk!! How selfish people can be!

I am just gotta suck it all up and focus on my task.

May Buddha bless me with more patience, perseverance, and diligence to overcome all these obstacles. I am not gonna let the stress and unhappiness from stopping me to contribute to the others.

I will march on!

Breath in... Breath out... Relax...

Regrets

If a person gives up halfway..

I am sure there will be regrets.

I am sure that there are a lot many other things that you will give up when you face other difficulties in the future.. Because you gave up on this.

I am sure that you don't feel good as you create sufferings for the others..

Have you thought about it carefully?

I just don't want you to regret.

Some Updates

Life has been good to me so far..

In case you don't know, I am in my honours year which is my final year. How time flies! It feels like I have just entered uni yesterday.

My Honours supervisor is Dr. Mike Manefield, the deputy director of the CMB (Centre for Marine Bioinnovation), which is the largest and richest lab in my school.

His team is a big one, with 3 postdocs and 5 PhD students working for him. You can have a look at this website- http://www.manefield.com/Home/team-members

I have been impressed by how efficient and organised he is. From the weekly lab meeting to the CMB seminars, I am really impressed.

I will be working in a PC2 lab which is a slightly more dangerous lab than a normal lab, but it should be quite safe. So far we have finalised the topic that I am doing, and I will be starting my research and getting familiarise with the lab next week! At the same time, I am gonna prepare for my research plan which is due next week and literature review. *tough times ahead!*

Because of how disciplined and how efficient he is, I can't help but to force myself to work harder to meet his expectations. I guess that's also part of my motivation to do well in this very important year.

From next week onwards, I am gonna spend 45-50 hours a week to work on my experiment, which means that I will contribute majority of my time on research. Feel bad that I won't be involved in UNIBUDS as much but I guess it's time for the "younger generation" of UNIBUDS to contribute, which is a very good thing!

All in all, I am happy that I have an aim and something to look forward to. I have some ambition in myself and I am gonna strive hard to fulfill it!

More updates on the way.. Stay tuned!
