week3 of SIP is over.

frm mon to thurs i have been printing and reading. my journals and literature is alr up to a height of ~3cm. and i still have lots to read!

on thurs, my supervisor gave me the company workbk to paste the past entries. and it's so confidential. have completed JUN entries. and i still have a sch workbk k. i am to print out a copy of what i wanna put in to the two workbk and let my sup filter and decide which to be paste on the two bks respectively.

went lab for the first time in my 3wks in ICES to learn how to use XRD. Junwei is a super lame guy and yet funny. I have to be prepared for more lame stuffs from him. but i'm glad the ppl in my lab are nice. (: my MP is going to start next wk. and my sup warned me that the real stuffs are coming in. haha.

Day10 of SIP

basically, i've been slacking thru out the wk. other than reading the lab safety manual and doing some lit research, i've been doing nth. so i'm seriously having no idea how to write my reflection for the wk. the lab safety test was today and i guess it was ok. haha. the test ended @ ard 1035 or so. then we slacked thru out the whole day. LOL

and we were playing this most of the time. love it! haha.
if i successfully pass the test, think my lab work will start next wk. perhaps on mon.
and i emailed my supervisor today.

me:

boss, you want to sign the log book today or on mon?

Aili
(cause he told me he will be busy this wk. and i feel weird starting with 'Hi Ron,' so i started with boss. LOL)

SUP:

Hi Aili,
Don't call me boss lah. Just call me Ron will do.
Let's do it on Monday, ok.
Thanks and have a nice weekend ahead. All the best on the safety test

Cheers,
Ron

hahaha. he even use the 'lah'. and other ppl are calling their SUP 'Dr' or 'Mr/Ms' and i'm actually calling my SUP by his name. he's so friendly. (:
SIP isn't too bad. cuz there are ppl to crap, chat and slack with.

Day4 of SIP.

SOOO tired. juz 4 days only and it feels like 4 weeks. but surprisingly, i think i'm toooooooooo tired till i'm not really tt tired today. well, i mean not as tired as the previous days but i'm still tired. haha.

basically, i've been reading and reading. understanding and understanding. i'm trying my best to understand cuz my supervisor is so gd that i doesn't want to let him down. haha. he's super nice i tell u. he's so friendly, patient, kind, helpful, understanding and approachable. The communicating languages between us are eng, chinese and cantonese. haha..cuz he's a malaysian.
and u know what. we are going to have a lab safety test on next fri! it's on the 45pages of lab safety manual. we have 3 tries. If we didn't manage to pass, that ends our SIP. and we are the 1st batch in the company who need to take the test ok. and b4 the test, i won't be doing any lab work. so i will be doing lit review and reading still. shall start my synopsis and proposal asap.

alright, wanna boast abt my sup again. haha. here goes...the piece of info abt the test was sent to us and also our sup. then my sup still email me after reading the email telling me to rmb to study and to print out the manual from online. then any qns can go and ask him. so nice right. other's ppl sup doesn't does that one ok. i'm wondering what have i done to deserve such a nice sup.

i'm starting to get used to the ppl being attached to ICES tgt with me. (: as well as the company i think. and our student area (called the Learning zone) is quite comfortable too. but not the early working hrs yet.
oh and i'm always taking the same train as Jiahui (:

alright. one last day of the week. SLP!!!

DAY1 of SIP.

reach JE @ 8am. bus and train are SOOO full. but now i will take the company bus frm outram (: which means, i can wake up later and less squeezing. haha. The company bus was late. cuz of some mistakes. so we waited. then the van is so small tt only 8 can go up. the rest had to take the bus.

reached JI and queued to make our pass. LONG QUEUE. waited for like 1hr plus and finally it's done. wait for van. some mistakes, yet again.-.- so all in all we spent ard 2hr plus waiting.

荒岛来的啦!!! so ulu. even if u wan escape frm the company also impossible loh.

got our company pass and locker key and it's lunch time. there's only one canteen in the whole building. and it's one small pathetic canteen with ONE stall. -.- we have to eat @ there for 5mths! can u imagine. then after the lunch, collected our lab coat and googles. and here comes the powerful one. we were given briefing on lab safety by a very monotonous safety officer. he gets softer and softer towards every end of his sentence. in addition to our slpyness due to the long waits in the morning, we were dozing off lah.

and off we go to meet our researcher cum supervisor. mine is called Ron. he's quite nice (@ least till so far). and due to my born-stress-looking face, he keep telling me to relax. hahaha. he said he won't at one go bombard me with stuffs but slowly introduce everything to me. and he said we are not boss and subordinate but WORKING PARTNERS. lol. can see he's really trying to make me relax.

and my MP title is:
Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Powders with Targeted Physicochemical Properties Using Supercritical Fluids.

as u can see, it's abt pharmaceutical. (:
he also gave me a stack of journals (which everyone will ask: "wa! who's notes? so many) to read. and b4 i finish reading and got some background info, i won't be doing any experiments. so tml other than going for the individual 15mins safety briefing in the lab, i will juz be reading the journals the whole day in the company. haha

one more day!!!

ok. i'm feeling so...i don't know what. scared? nervous? unhappy? whatever it is, i'm not feeling gd. ): ARGH!!!!!!!!!

ytd was the class bbq @ ecp. last class gathering b4 the sip start. everything was ok (to me @ least) but indeed the bond between the class had some sort diminished. i guess the sip did have great impact on many ppl. but since we can't change anything. then we shall learn to appreciate it. cheer up ppl. (: anyway, GRACECIA'S LITTLE BRO IS SO CUTE!!!!! he made me laugh like crazy. oh man i envy gracecia for having such a bro. haha. went home @ 11plus. took bus with aaron. he's being very nice to walk me to the lift. (:

GD LUCK TO EVERYONE FOR THE SIP. take care alright. (:

in a faraway island, there's 15 tp students going for SIP from 8sept'08 to 23jan'09 at Institute of Chemical and Engineering Science. . . .to be continued.

SIP venue known.

JURONG ISLAND

is this the retribution for laughing @ wilson. haha..but i didn't laugh tt much mah. ):
OFFSHORE ISLAND OFFSHORE ISLAND OFFSHORE ISLAND!!!!!!!
all the while i THOUGHT i was going to buona vista. then suddenly. . .
@ least paul didn't lie. i'm going to A* organisation. but it's A* in jurong island. -.-
in 3more days, i'm going offshore for 5mths.
and no photographic equipments...is my hp included???

ok. now i'm troubled over which concession i shld buy. there's two ways i can get there
1: take bus to woodlands then mrt to Jurong east
2: mrt str to jurong east
both ard same traveling time. but way no.2 is ard one dollars cheaper. guess i shld buy MRT one right. shall take bus as and when i feel like taking anyway i prefer way no.1 too. haha

mum said something so true. i've nv been lucky since young.
i have been isolated from my close frens since young.
sec 1, i was put into 2nd class in sec2 when my lvl position allows me to be in the 1st class where all of my close frens are in.
then it happen in sec2 again. my close frens @ then was moved to other classes in sec3.
then in poly, you guys shld know...well. fate.


alright. look on the bright side, aili. tt's the only thing you can do now. (but allow me to complain for a few more days. haha)
