It has been ages I din spend my weekend in Singapore. This time of the hour while I am writing this, I should be at church, then go out with Kamyee, Lian and Jean to KTV….but anyway treat it as a rest for me….

Well well, there must be reason I am staying here…if not surely I will b back…so whats on??….It was my colleague wedding yesterday….a colleague that I just knew for 2 months…and yeah is very nice of her to invite me….but is was quite an awkward moment…because most of the colleagues she invited are from her previous lab, I knew a few of them but they were seated at another table…Haha, since I din know many of the people, I din mingle around to take pictures…but I manage to capture a few..but not with the bride :P Dsc00043_3 Dsc00042_2 Dsc00038_2

Besides this wedding, another event happening on friday was my office halloween party…Actually this company very happenning wan…every last friday of the month, there will be happy hour, and occasionally there will be offsite meeting….well is nice to work with european bosses…the CEO of my company is David Lane (great scientist who discovered p53) followed by vice presidents (Tom, Walter, Michael and Yuka) and managers (all europeans and my boss is Jeffrey Hill..from UK…the one in orange shirt :))…Dsc00027_labelDsc00025 Dsc00026 Dsc00031 Dsc00036 Dsc00037 

So, now you may think I m havin great fun here….I do try to enjoy every moment because everything that happen will onli happen once…at that hour, minute and second…then everything will be become history and memories….

Remember the good things and try to forget the unhappy things….SMILE, PEACE and JOY…..

40 Tips for an exceptional, superb and powerful life!!

My mum received this email from her fren and share it with me….I find it really interesting so let me post it here….

"These are really very powerful. Implement whatever you can…:)"

1- Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

3- Buy a PVR tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4- When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, "My purpose is to ________ today."

5- Live with the 3E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.

6- Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did in 2006.

7- Make time to practise meditation, yoga, tai chi and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8- Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9- Dream more while you are awake.

10- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.

11- Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat bluberries, wild Alaskan salmon, brocolli, almonds and walnuts.

12- Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13- Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14- Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15- Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17- Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

18- Life isnt fair but its still good.

19- LIfe is too short to watse time hating anyone.

20- Dont take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21- You dont have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22- Make peace with your past so it wont screw up the present.

23- Dont compare your life with others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24- Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and weat the fancy lingerie (not you guys). Dont save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

25- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

26- Frame every so-called disaster with these words: " In five years, will this matter?"

27- Forgive everyone for everything.

28- What other people think of you is none of your business.

29- Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

30- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

31- Your job wont take care of you when you are sick. Your frens will. Stay in touch.

32- Get rid of anything that isnt useful, beautiful or joyful.

33- Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

34- The best is yet to come.

35- No matter how you fell, get up, dress up and show up.

36- DO the right thing!

37- Call you family often.

38- Each night before you go to bed complet the following statements:" I am thankful for _________." Today I accomplished _______.

39- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

40- Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly dont want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

May your trouble be less. May your blessings be more. And may nothing but happiness come through your door!!

Stress!!

I am very stress at work….and the worst is I bring it back with me after work…especially last week…I just dunno where to start to pack the stuffs in the lab to move over to the new lab…My other lab mates…at times make me really frustrated…din even help much but started to make complains and make things difficult…erghh…but what to do…the things need to be done…still need to be done…:) Be patient lorrrrrrrrr…’yan…yan…yan…ren…ren…ren..”

Finally most stuffs had been move over to the new lab and the new place now seems to be getting there…but there are still many things to sort out in order for it to get operational….

I must say my boss being very efficient this time…he did many things at the new lab…without his efforts and time, things could have been worst…

Well, I really think I am better at admin work and organising stuffs compared to doing science…I just not clever enough…and everytime my boss questioned me about the science…I tried my best to answer and explain…but everytime it ended up not logical to him and I sounded extremely stupid…the feeling sometimes quite hard to bear…but I hope I can slowly get use to his way in doing work and try to understand his goodness in teaching and making me better at my work…so I shall think positive…and not being too sensitive in things…

Even at stress and sick moment…:( I am glad to have my mum with me last weekend….Last friday and sat nite, I just couldnt get to bed..just couldnt sleep…haha not a joke, I went into her room and sleep next to her…feel so secure and comfort…like no one can harm me cause she will protect me…wow…yes I have a very very good and patient mama…Thank God for her :)….

I happened to chat with one very nice lab manager…:)….Her advice to me is try to gain as much as I can in the lab now eventho there are difficult times…and think positive…:)…She is one of the very nice lab manager that I have encountered…I hope I have the chance to work for her in the future…:)

Wow…I have written so much…hmm should stop now…SMILE, PEACE….:)
