All gone wrong...
The saddest news of all is Christmas this year's no longer white. Snowcity sucks from what I heard. Majority of the ppl have not been there, while nothing good comes from the feedbacks of those who went. What settles my decision for cancelling this snowcity experience were the words from a friend who'd worked there before. He says the area's pathetically small, the cost's super ex with a restricted amount of playtime, the jackets provided stinks cos all they did was just dry without washing... There goes my white christmas. how sad. Hopefully Plan B's good. Christmas itself I've no plans either but I'm crossing my fingers not to end up in the lab cos that''ll be so depressing.
It's been almost 2 weeks since I resumed labwork. But all results obtained were negative, negative, negative. Even the basic step to synthesize my starting material was not smooth. The thing was this has never happened before! Though it's time consuming to synthesize the starting materials, I always succeed. I wasted two whole days with all my effort ending up in the waste bottle. I was rather pissed with myself. 100 over bucks down the drain without any results at all. Now I understand why research's so damn expensive.
Alright. That's all I wanna grumble on. Let's talk about something slightly happier. I kind of enjoy this relaxing hols though progress report's due in 2nd week of Jan, which is pretty soon. Every morning wake up super early around 6 plus, go lab do experiments till late afternoon, then probably go for pool/table tennis game then go home check email/update blog then practise on keyboard for an hour or so, then read comic till midnight then sleep till next morning 6 plus again and the whole cycle repeats itself. To many this may seem boring, but I like! I guess I'll only worry about my report when the time is near... very very near. I should be worrying about my this sem's grades.
Oh ya, another happy news to share. The angel and devil thingy that was bothering me for quite some time's no longer there. I can focus better now on whatever I'm doing. cheers. But I'm feeling quite down lately... must be due to the first two paragraphs mentioned.
