Practice Thesis Interview

我终于明白了什么是“震撼教育”。

"Ian, if there's a time in your life where you have to work for 11 hours a day, it's from now until the submission of your thesis."

"Don't worry about your 'life' now, just focus on what you are doing, scientists are supposed to be a bit crazy."

"You will get so much out of it."

-- Mike Manefield to Ian Ch'ng

给自己的歌

想得却不可得，你奈人生何？

该舍的舍不得，只顾着跟往事瞎扯。

等你发现时间是贼了，它早已偷光你的选择。

爱恋不过是一场高烧，思念是紧跟着的好不了的咳。

是空空荡荡，却嗡嗡作响，

是谁在你心里放冷枪？

她的爱在心里埋葬了、抹平了、几年了仍有余威。

--李宗盛

难怪李大师一出手就获得了金曲奖最佳作词、作曲、最佳歌曲三个大奖。

他真的太厉害了。

被遗忘的

他的喘息終於遠去了
這夜寒分了　心是涼的
我的孤獨已經到站了
受夠的曲折　不再繞了

有那麼多的憂傷圍繞著
疲憊的雙眼　還凝望著
當人被失落寂寞促擁著
這樣的片刻　只想唱歌

愛像風中的風箏　有翱翔的旅程
而被遺忘的是　那些放開手的人
殘忍或不殘忍　也不许誰難以割捨
而被遺忘的是　那些放開手的人
被遺忘的是　放開手的人

有那麼多的憂傷圍繞著
疲憊的雙眼　還凝望著
這失落猶然美麗的時刻
整夜緊閉著雙唇　我只想唱歌

愛像風中的風箏　有翱翔的旅程

而被遺忘的是　我這放開手的人
不會殘忍　也不會難以割捨
而被遺忘的是　我這放開手的人
繞過山又飄過河　緩緩的　淡淡的
被遺忘的是　放開手的人

該遺忘的是　你讚美過的　單純

爱莫能助的滋味，真的很不好受。

看到别人在受苦，别人有麻烦，自己却没这个时间和精力去帮助。

心口突然重了起来。

继续加油吧，你们都能熬过去的。

如果没有你

嘿 我真的好想你

现在窗外面又开始下着雨

眼睛干干的 有想哭的心情

你是否也像我一样在想你

When experiment fails....

All the hard work are thrown into the sea.

Yesterday, I reached uni at 6.10am. Worked all the way until 6.15pm, went to the meditation workshop led by Chien Hoong, then came back to the lab at 10pm. After finished preparing the culture and done first round of sampling, it was already 12.45am.

Went home, slept for 5 hours, then reached uni again at 7.30am to continue my experiment. Everything was going alright until I just found out that my cells are not growing AT ALL.

T.T

No wonder stress level is increasing exponentially. Have to start my experiment all over again.

生人勿扰。

靠人靠朋友都不可靠，

靠自己最好。

Bad Luck

Ok, I got the nastiest professor as my thesis assessment panel. Wish me luck.

Just told Hazlin about it and she gave me a SHOCKED face.

I can't be more unlucky.

Recent Updates

For the past few weeks, I can clearly feel that my energy level is unable to keep up with my work.

2 weeks ago, a few dramas happened for a few days until I realise that I really need a rest, or else the dramas will just continue for who-know-how-long!

Recently I have been dragging myself to do work. Although the body and heart tells me that I don't "feel" like doing it, but what must be done have to be done.

At the beginning of the week, I always set myself a target of what needs to be done within the week, and for the past 2-3 weeks I have never finished them.

Bodhi Nite preparation is becoming more and more intensed recently, apart from involving in catering department, I am in the sketch department taking a minor role (5 minutes action) as well. Although it's a very minor role, it means that I have to attend practices from time to time.

It is fun to be with UNIBUDS friends, but a lot of times it means that I'm actually diverting my attention and energy. My supervisor advised me to spend 10-11 hours EVERYDAY just to work on my project. Have I done so? I don't think I have. I should set myself a time limit start from next week. 10 hours min a day should be spent on my project.

It's all about juggling between time, and spend your energy on the right place.
