IMCB

IMCB! Woohoo the slackiest 3 days of my JC life... IMCB on the whole was pretty interesting. Considering we learnt somethings in the slackiest of ways ever. If only school was like that =P. We learnt about transcription factors, specifically Nuclear Factor Kappa B. Well, won't go into details, cos I'd probably bore you out haha. If you wanna know more just ask me personally.

First day. I woke up at about 7:30, took the mrt at 7:45 and reached at 8:15, which was pretty early cos the thing only started at about 8:45? Hmmms spent the time waiting for the rest of the RJC peoples... Cheryl, Michelle, Elizabeth and Xuan Hong (Who never came booo, hopefully not cos of GP CTs) so... I ended up as the only RJ guy there. Booo.

Oh well, went for safety briefing, which made me realise there are so many ways to die in IMCB haha. Which is pretty cool in my opinion. Fire, Radiation, Electrocution, EtBr, Infected needles etc etc. Everytime I remember the safety briefing I can't help thinking of people dying =P oh well.

Spent a short time in the lab, then went off for GP CTs with the other RJ people. GP CTs weren't too bad I guess. Remembering what Mrs Toh taught helped. And of course prayer and meditation on his word helped. Everything's up to him now...

Second day. Got a fuzzy idea what happened the previous day from my lab partner Bao Jia, and got to make friends with the DHS people. They were pretty nice to us =) All of the RJ people kinda hit off with the DHS people. Lame joke sessions during waiting time for the experiment to finish haha. Throughout the 2 days we were supposed to carry out 2 experiments, one involving blotting and the other on cancer cells. Pretty fun I guess!

Third day... We drew lots to do presentation... And guess what? I got paired with Michelle. I guess it was kinda good, since I think she's a pretty good science student. Hmmm we didn't really prepare much for presentation, and we expected the other groups to have already elaborated on what we were gonna say.

Gotta know the NASS people more then, cos they joined the lame joke sessions as well haha. Before lunch we went to take a group photo, and it was pretty cool cos we went to the sky bridge on the 6th floor of Proteos. The view from there was kinda amazing. And after that we had 2 hours of lunch!!! Slacked around a bit, sat under the large tree outside the foodcourt for some time.

Then the time of reckoning... Presentation! The first 3 groups kinda covered everything we could say, and the second group with the HCJC people absolutely pwnzzzed us. They knew so much more than us, and it seems they went to do research on the topic beforehand. One things for sure, they came here to learn, not to slack. But you guys know what RJC students are like right? We may be smart but we'd rather slack =P haha. So we just added some points at that was it.

I was kinda happy I went to IMCB, not only cos of the good company, but cos it gave me the chance to forget about the previous week, and gave me more time to think about school life and stuff. And I think I'm feeling lots better, and my appetite's back! Yeah. I think the IMCB experience wasn't just about academic learning for me, but finding peace as well.

S03H! RJGE! X'PEIA! I missed you guys while I was gone... Looking forward to the respective outings....

Yay... Thats all about IMCB. Alright, finally got a ball pump... So we should have a ball today at 5pm for YE's longest barbecue! Yeah! And I got the OFFICIAL 2006 WC GUIDE! Wooohoooo. Awesome. And a pretty nice poster to add to that.

Alrighty... All the best for camp, CCALs and Councillors! And all those going for UK Lit Trip, be safe, and have fun! =)

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Taiwan: Touch Your Heart

Finally gone on a trip that I really paid attention to haha. Most other overseas trips were pretty much a blur, but because I took the effort to pay attention and get involved in it, it was a lot more rewarding than previous trips. Unlike most other trips, this one was absolutely delicious every single day. Singaporeans I've asked have had mixed reactions to the food there... But my family's the more adventurous kind; as long as it looks good and smells good, eat it! Feels quite like a family motto haha. We enjoyed all the street food immensely, and didn't even end up with a single stomach ache. Thank God for strong stomachs. The place I enjoyed the most was the Geopark at Yehliu... A must go for geog students for sure. All sorts of natural wonders. Spits, bars, tombolos, cliffs, evidence of weathering, rock formations - the best place for a geog geek to do a project, or photo buffs to take nice pictures of scenery. Here are some nice ones: Besides the geopark, we went to t

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
