Student to working adult.

Somewhere I'm going to be stuck with even after graduation. I would not have dream of doing it, until I started working in the lab with all the wonderful people and all the wonderful lab equipments. From next week onwards, I'm going to reallllllly transit from the more or less sheltered student life to a working adult life. Gosh. It came so fast that I cant believe it. But thank god, I'll be working in a familiar environment, so, it's not too bad.

But, I'll definitely miss the privileges as a student.

Like, going home real early when you feel like it.

No more empty interchanges! Gosh, everyday will just be the morning crowd and the evening crowds. It's been lidat for the past few months, I know. But, when you know that this is really the last time you are seeing it, it feels, different!

And, I cant go shopping during the weekdays afternoon anymore!

The kids sections and the shops I often patronize are always so filled with people. I wanna enjoy the last few moments of going to a shopping center and see no much ppl jamming my way.

A look back into my student life. Hmm. 16 years of it. Is going to end soon. Haha.

The best times will definitely still be the secondary school days with all my buddies even though we had suffered through band. But, that's what made the memories and the bond the fondest.

(I dare not post anything earlier than 2006 because I can get myself killed from it. We were bday clinqes once upon a time too. But now, NKF had changed us all. =) Ok, only the 4 of us, no, the 3 of us actually. Haha!)

But buddies, you guys rocked my secondary school life!!

JC life was ok to say, but not so after the class split into 2 and because of the ginormous stress that I had over the 2 years. I can still rmb all the gastric attacks and gastric flu I had. Ouch. We still had fun and laughter definitely, and I bet the biology class had united our class. All the pumpings. Haha! It's always the troubles that manage to do that isnt it? LOL! Ahh.. Those were the days. Hehs. But JC1 was definitely the funnest, I would say. Haha!

And my dear friends. Haha, although we were just birthday cliques and that some of us are no longer friends, we stuck together as we study for the A levels. Hehs. I kinda miss those days even though, it sucked. Hahaha! (I cant find a photos with 5 of us inside! Damn. LOL!)

The best thing was meeting my ah dear who had changed my life so much since then. We were even rumored to be the couple on the bus remember? HAHAHAHA! NOOOO! It's the tennis couple! Oh man. Haha. But I still rmb how it felt to be supporting you from the grand stand as your gf and watch the team get the national champion back. And definitely your face before your competition when I nearly fainted. Oooops. Those were the days. You dun even play vball anymore. =(

I would say the first few years in NTU/SBS was not exactly fantastic. Haha. Relatively. I find myself only hanging out with just the same people day in day out. I don't take part in school activities. I just go home after school. And there was no major activities. But still, I enjoyed all of my friends company! But I know, things will never be the same anymore. It's okay, because people move on, right?

Structural Biology had totally changed my life. It opened up my eyes, and it made me fell in love with science all over again. I din know I can like something and is willing to work so hard for it. And definitely, my classmates gave me the feeling of being a student, studying in school, all over again.

Another module that had changed my uni life was definitely the bioentre. It was the most demanding 2 weeks I had ever ever ever had. It was soooo intensive that I keep asking, why did I choose it????? LOL! But I really had a lot of fun, and made a lot more friends. This is how uni life should be, right? I would do it again if I'm given a choice. Haha. =)

From next week onwards, I leave the student life that I always longed to get out of. It feels like a huge huge step! Dun mention about phd as a student, because, that is just working + studying. Haha. It's not student enough! Hahaha! I know it's not going to make too much of a difference to my current life. But, you know, when something becomes official, it's totally different!!! I'm sure, all of the below is going to make this transition great!

=)
