year 4

i told myself i wanna blog tonight, i wanna blog tonight....
there are so many things i wish to update here, and for weeks, even months, i just couldn't find the motivation to get things written here and posted, will just go for lame games if given any free time to kill, i'm not sure if it's the hectic schedule to blame for being so lazy to just produce a blog post here, which was done so effortless once...
first off, 3 modules for the second last semester in NUS for me, system neurobiology, advanced immunology and Toxicology. Yeah they sound awesome, which makes their workloads all the more horrible....
it's just....sad but nothing can be done to tell that, among the three, only one of them was part of my initial plan for the current semester. thanks to the beautiful arrangement of whoever for the life sciences year 4 modules timetable, i'll have to take 3 final papers all on the same day. I guess that, if achieved, is probably something worth feeling proud of despite the discouraging nature of NUS. I'm not the kind who would work to impress others so forget about it and yeah, ended up with what i have now...
final year project, for those who'd still like to ask me what's mine about, i'm working on a protein called BNIP-H, happens to be a member of protein family called BNIP-2, which bears a domain for the binding of regulatory proteins of G-protein, and my main goal of the project is to characterize the lipid binding profile of BNIP-H, well for non life sciences or biology student, sorry but this is probably one of the simplest introduction....
moving to yoHA for almost 2 months, and i'm happy to say that things are slowly falling into place. As i've anticipated even before moving in, the short walk from the door to bus stop is indeed much less stress-inducing compared to staying in campus. I hear karaoke singing, laughter and chattering, sounds from tv and etc whenever i go out or come back from school.In a certain extent, all of these serve as a invisible wall, separating me from the headache-causing issues at school after reaching "home". Of course, complaints tend to be associated with satisfaction, at least that's the case for me. Staying off campus makes gathering with friends no longer something to be taken for granted, a luxury instead it becomes, something i know i need a lot of effort to get used to.
Another UFO4 has passed, with little anticipation this year, i give credits to the helpers as well as the freshmen for giving a lot of surprises to me this year. Despite being reminded that i'm RELATIVELY old, i'm more than happy to spend, though little but quality time with some of them. They made me feeling upset occasionally, not for the wrong reason, but just, reminded me of the good old days, and the emotional struggle....how i wish i could just go back to year 1....
that's all for the update i guess, at least for tonight....
