Week 2 Stuff

Hello how are you guys doing, There have been 2 major issues...

My application to Join the NUS chapter of the triple helix organisation has been successful...YES!!!! My job is to be a writer for the journal they will be publishing. My first task is to come up with a topic exploring the relationship between science and society and submit the abstract on 31 Jan 2009...Thought up a few possible leads....will decide about it soon =) So i have got a CCA already..haha =)

Just came back a few hours ago from my JC mini class gathering. Boon Yen is leaving Singapore soon for work at Down Under. So this called for a class gathering....(We had a precedent donkey years ago where we sent off Karen to NY). Only a third of them showed up

Boon Yen, Joyce, Joycelyn,Jun Yun, Andy , Zhi Wei and well yours truly. We ate at Marche@ 313 Somerset I ordered a rosti with smoked salmon, Oringina, and chocolate fudge cake and creme burlee ice cream....(Mom wasn't too pleased at the bill receipt though when i came back home).. I think Marche can be a bit expensive... We chatted about our lives and blah blah blah... After that, Andy and Zhiwei went back home first when I went with the girls to window shop and have a post-meal walk.Yup yup, They wanted to buy clothes for Chinese New Year....After that home sweet home..Nice meeting up with all of them again =).

See ya guys..Time for bed =)

New Semester

Hihi how are you guys doing?

A new semester has arrived and I will be taking these modules for the new semester:

 CM1101 PRINCIPLES OF MODERN CHEMISTRY

 GE2220 TERRESTRIAL AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS

LSM2103 CELL BIOLOGY

LSM2201A EXPERIMENTAL BIOCHEMISTRY

 SSS1207 NATURAL HERITAGE OF SINGAPORE

Bidding went very well for me as planned except for the experimental module. I got outbidded for both the molecular biology and microbiology ones. Anyway, so does everyone else in the biochem module =) Our first practical was quite simple as we created buffer solutions. What the heck is that? More on that on a future post....

Have to wake up quite earlier in the morning to attend chemistry class at 8am. Our first lecture was on atomic quantization and quantum physics. Quite difficult, if i had not worked on my chemistry during the holidays, I don't think i would have understood anything.. Of all the 5 modules, I was quite apprehensive about taking this module at first as i can't S/U that module. But i decided to keep the door open in doing a chemistry minor anyway.. Looking forward to the lab =) This would be the first time i am studying chemistry in a year. haha =)

GE2220 would be the first lesson of my week. Our 1st lecture covered an introduction to geomorphology and weathering. Already i started to like Prof Terry as he is a friendly and jovial guy. Haha.. Looking forward to the lecture every week. And yes, maybe i will do a geosciences minor in the future..

SSS1207 is the module on the natural heritage in singapore. Prof Chou joked a lot during his introductory lecture. I got to meet Dr Ng (my lecturer for LSM1103) again during the lecture. Anyway, this will be an interesting module. I am currently looking for field trip kakis for this module..so if you are reading this, drop me an email soon...=)

On a lighter side, for this Tuesday i had a lots of free time like from 10am to 6pm. Don't ask why my timetable is weird, ask the scheduling guys. I studied at the table outside the science library, near the lifts when my JC friends said  hello. Charles and Rebecca said hello. Rebecca offered me her Natural heritage book when she learned that i am taking the module. Thanks for the kind gesture, Rebecca. =) but i need the latest edition with its updates...=)

I had lunch today with Guo Zheng. Guo zheng was one of my group mates during the GE2229 module and he is taking CM1101 and Ge2220 with me as well. So we will get to see each other again and hopefully will work with each other again ,especially for our new Geography module. Haha=)

On a lighter side, I will be meeting up with my JC friends next week. "For what?" you may ask. But it will have to stay hush hush for now. =)

That is what i have to got to say for today...

BYE BYE =)
