My besties :)

I must be procrastinating or slacking somehow, because here's another random but true post! After reading that heartwarming comment from Celine, I wouldn't have been reminded that this is my 4th year sharing so many experiences with these lovely bunch of coursemates! 

True enough we share through thick and thin together for almost 4 years already! :) I believed everything happens for a reason and purpose. These wonderful friendships wouldn't be built if these things didn't happen: An unexpected gentle poke from Celine, a random chit chat with those hardworking Asian guys (Lee, Eddy and Karson) who always sit in front of lecture theatres, some random arguments with Simon in chemistry lab and Elit ended up to be our middle person, and chatting with the "quiet girl" Rui Jing in our 2nd year histo lab! 

I realized at some point I might be lacking a sense of belonging to them because I am also engaged with another bunch of good friends. Thanks to the clinical placements, this pathetic feeling was gone :). The lesser you get to meet the people whom you're once so familiar with, the more you will miss them and the more you will learn how to appreciate their presence. Yeps seems leggit! :D 

4th year with them, even though some of us are not in the same year anymore but somehow everyone seems to be getting closer and closer. Well I wish all the best for them in the years to come, be it stepping into hectic working life or pursuing PhD's, may these friendships be the highlights of our life forever :)! Love them much much!

Keep holding on

If my life is being transformed into a storybook format, I guess it would be a total blank page for these two months.

Let me elaborate that. Ever since I cut short my 6 weeks holidays to 3 weeks coming back to Perth earlier beacuse of being scheduled for a 2 hours training, I thought I'm so gonna start my honours project real soon. Of course, I'm expecting myself to finish this interesting project (I meant it, sincerely interesting as I would've thought) real soon! February has just passed by without starting any real experiments. The lab assistant was literally feeling helpless because the cells weren't growing. In fact, she has 20 years of experience splitting cells.

March and up till now was terrible, or I would say MISERABLE. Yes I went to uni, yes I've been in and out for my labs, yet nothing has been progressed. I might looked as if I'm busy but seriously, the babies aren't growing happily. So far I did some simple control experiments, and finally my lab book has a tiny few pages being filled with crappy words.

Having said that, my supervisors David and Brian were really helping me out to sort all these problems. But one heartaching thing to see is, David was pulling his hair too, yes physically! My whole project might changed into another topic. My whole scientific paper might changed into a troubleshooting article, which I'm not so sure am I gonna get through this semester, AGAIN. Seriously, every semester has its own trouble for me.

Really creepy. A lot of times I questioned God why is this happening to me. For sure this stagnant- progressed project is neither I'm not knowledgale nor lack of technical problems. 'Expecting' has been a weary word for me to use. I am tired carrying this burden of fear.

Despite of all troubles, weariness, worriness, and failures, I'll keep holding on unto Him. I believe for the next crucial 3 weeks, something good will appear. He assured me to be faithful and to keep holding on, by His strength. 

I BELIVE IN YOU LORD. :) I'll get through this with a smile.
