My first day working

On Monday I went to NTU MC to see dr Tan to convey what dr Low wrote in a sealed letter. I realized he normally comes to MC at 9am. But I came 30 mins earlier. Ya he said I got erosion on my stomach and probably needs time to do a theraphy for around 6 weeks. I needed to take some medications since then, even right before exam period starts to prevent any gastric. And I needed to do some diets too. He asked me to come back this Wednesday to see how it'd be. I asked for MC letter as I couldn't work for that day, but unfortunately he allowed me to have only 1 day work leave. Not like what I said to Prof Subbu that I might leave for 1 week. Hmm so I must work on the next day.

Yup today is my first day of parttime work. I'm working in Biomaterials lab to help some PhD students. They are going to have vacation so I need to take over some tasks. This lab is now much different compared with last year when I was doing a biopolymer drug delivery project under Lay Poh. After entering the lab, I come into Serene desk, to say hi and to help me to see Yi Shan. WOW Serene has different hair style now. Then I talk to 4 Phd students and say Hi. They are Yi Shan, Kok Boon, Xia Yu and Alfred. They are nice and welcome me well. It makes me very comfortable. But mostly Kok Boon who teaches me how to use some equipments. There are a lot of changes in the lab environment. No more bullet sucker pipet, more ovens, more film applicators and last but not least no more Eric. Yes, he's one of the biomaterials research fellow whom I knew during MSE Club JC Quiz preparation. He helped me to run the DNA extraction from strawberry. He's so kind and very passionate in doing research. I say hi since then to him. He moved to Republic Poly to be a lecturer few months a go.

My tasks for today are only making some PLLA solutions and putting some glass plates in the oven. The tasks will be more difficult than I'm thinking as I'll be making 2 layers film from different polymers in which each layer needs 2 to 3 castings. Haha. But I'll take it then as my own opportunity. I will make some films from tomorrow onwards. Hope it will be okay. Kee Pah has some students also under him. One of them is my buddy Zhang Peng. We are going to have IA in the same research centre next semester.

I have my lunch together with Kee Pah and some PhD students from biomaterials lab. Their gang looks nice and they are planning to have vacation in KL this weekend. Actually I planned to have my lunch alone, but feel ashamed when Kee Pah invites me to join. After lunch I prepare some solutions together with Kok Boon and leave it overnight to dissolve well to be used for tomorrow.

Coincidentally I meet Zhang Peng in the lab and I chat with him for quite long time outside the lab. Haha. He makes me feel calm and asks me not to worry much about the exams anymore. He suggests to change my study plan as it's probably overpeak. Otherwise I will suffer once more time from this gastric. Thanks Zhang Peng, you are really a nice friend of mine. So now I'll take a rest and tonight will be continuing to watch Moto Kare. C u soon.
