Days come and Days go

Wow, Already it’s the last week of my SIP. I’m growing fat ^^. On Monday, My supervisor, Dr Sirawut, treated the whole lab to Sizzler’s for a farewell dinner at MBK. There were over 20 of us present and our table was definitely the longest. The meal was good. I was in the middle next to Oneesan. The salad Bar was like a buffet. We can get any amount of food we want and the Chocolate Mousse was to die for.

However, Life demonstrated that even in good times, it can be unfair. When I took the chocolate mousse, it was down to its leftovers. I wait for the staff to refill but Alas, no one did. So no choice, I took the leftovers. The moment I left, they whipped off the plate and change it for a new one complete with mountains of new ice cold creamy chocolate mousse. WHAT THE HELL?? T_T How can anyone up there do this to me??

Still, it was good… to the point that Dr G went to get 4 helpings of it. But he, being the “shy” guy that he is, complained that the waitress was looking at him strangely when he went to get his 3rd helping. So for his 4th, he dragged Shishou to go with him to get it. ><

And yeah, Do u know? For the beginning of the meal, he disappeared for close to an hour? He told us he’s going to buy a pair of pants. He “won’t take longer than 30mins.”

After a (long) while, Dr Sirawut was, “why is he taking so long? It’s more than an hour already!”

Lol! It’s well known among the whole lab that Dr G. is very “picky”. When buying stuff (eg: his pants), he has to compare (a) texture (b) cutting (c) PRICE. He will go shop to shop comparing all these and just for one pair of pants! Haha, Dr G. is more like a housewife than a researcher. ><

Anyway, The meal was awesome and by the end of it, I was bloated to the nines. While discussing about our entertainment idols, me and Dr G had a “weird” conversation.

“So, Lim, Have u heard of Takeshi?” Dr G. Asked me.

“Yeah, Takeshi Kaneshiro?”

“Yup, that’s the one”

“ Yeah, of course! He’s my primary school best friend’s crush! Why? U like him?”

The moment the words came out of my mouth, Tou, Am and Tam howled with laughter. Oops... XD When I said “like”, I had meant in a idolizing way. Not erm… XD yeah… Anyway, Dr G. Flushed and grinned.

“ No… I don’t like him. But I LOOK like him.”

Yeah right! Talk about egoism… :P Well, as for if he looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro, I leave it up to u to decide. Here’s his pic… Remember to leave a comment about ur opinion on it yeah?

When the meal ended, Tun send mi, Shishou, Addie, Kant, Dew and another guy back. OO How on earth will 7 persons squeeze into a normal sized Toyota? Oh boy… But We managed… ^^ With Shi shou and Addie sitting on me and Dew’s lap. In Singapore. We’ll get pulled over for sure…

And yeah, Finally, My ppt was over yesterday. I didn’t perform badly but, I didn’t perform fantastically either. Surprisingly, this didn’t bother me too much. I wondered why, and the answered came to me naturally. I did my best and slogged the hell for it. Still, Quite many people came to our ppt. My mentor and Dr Nitsara came to support. ^^ So grateful to either of them.

For our presentation, nobody asked any questions. Thank god! When I went back to lab today (Wednesday), Dr G. asked how did it go.

“Fine” I answered. “Nobody asked any questions.”

“That may be due to 2 reasons. Either nobody understood what you presented. Or your presentation is fantastically brilliant.” He smirked and continued. “Though I’m banking on the first option. :P ”

ASSHOLE! HOW DARE HE SAY THAT!!! Thankfully, Shishou took my side.

“She presented well. Though there’re a lot of Singaporean accents in there.=3”

:P What can I say? I’m Singaporean and I’m proud of it! ^^

Dr Sirawut didn’t come to my presentation on Tuesday. Didn’t feel too bad. His presence is stressful. But when I went to a Seminar where Masters students will be conducting presentations on their Thesis, I felt thankful that Dr Sirawut didn’t come to mine. The thankfulness soon gave way to gratefulness and by the end of the seminar, gratefulness turns into full blown worship of whichever gods up there. So let me give prayer in thanks to God, Lord Jesus, Goddess of Mercy, Buddha, Allah, etc. Thanks you, Amen, and Amithaba.

-_- Dr Sirawut literally GRILLS the students on their thesis, asking multiple questions that left the students stumped, broken and wishing for death. The only reason I went to this seminar was to support Ae, who was the 3rd student to present. She didn’t fare too well either. -_-… I didn’t understand the QNA (which is in Thai, compared to the presentations, which is in English) But, I know enough from the body language of the students to know that Dr. Sirawut is famous there for asking Killer questions. Alright, Kant told me, not my knowledge of body language… When the last student presented, Dr Sirawut have to leave and hence, didn’t stay. During QNA, she (the student) was outright grinning as no one asks questions, or at least, questions she can’t answer. -_- Once again, Thank god!

Well, gotta

Go, My landlady’s treating me to Dinner. See ya!
