went back to the lab yesterday to show prof my poster draft. found out that its too brief, thats why i have so much space for big font and pictures. prof said that my cells would probably look like dinosaur cells at that size. he's becoming more and more lame lately. -.-... leo is going to take over my project! i wish i could continue it myself though. its a relatively new project in the lab and could be exciting. going through my thesis with him, i realized that many things were not clearly put across since he didnt understand some things. hai... dr khan introduced us to the new fyp student from ntu, a girl from BMS starting the week of our poster. this lab is relatively good and prof is a very nice person but he can also be very forgetful sometimes and having no mentor means we also have to be thick-skinned and independent. having angela around really helped us alot but she's finishing her phd soon. cant imagine what it'll be like if she isnt around to teach new students.
went home for dinner and my parents wanted to try the bbq seafood stall that was featured in channel 8's 'qiang tan da xing dong' in the market near our house. it had scored the full 30 votes by customers in the show so we thought it was worth a try. reaching there, we saw many customers and were told that we had to wait for 45 mins to 1 hr. there were about 5 workers helping out in the stall but the boss (the guy learning in the show) just sat or walked around outside in a bo chap manner. definitely not a good sign. after the long long wait, our food finally came and i was terribly disappointed. we ordered the bbq stingray, la la shellfish and a plate of vegetables. everything down to the rice and chilli failed to meet my expectations. the chilli on the stingray was not enough and not spicy. the vegetables were oily and tasteless. i dont like shellfish so i didnt eat it but it lacked the chilli padi as seen in the show. even the rice is hard and lumpy. i'm never going back.
