Thoughts before KL

Okay... since i was asked by ~B~ to blog about my feelings for the last day in Singapore before leaving for KL tomorrow, so there you go.

Well oh well, though it's only 3weeks i've been here. I've made a lot of new friends, have seen a lot of things and experienced many things i would never have done back home.
I would say the experience or this short trip in Singapore is a very wonderful one. For instance, I've been to so many places in just 3weeks. Some places are places that no ordinary tourist would have visited. Thanks to my ~B~, friends, and internship

Places I have been to:
a)Shopping malls : Ion mall, Takashimaya (Ngeeann City), The Cathay, Ceneleisure, Jurong Point, Wisma Atrium, Raffles City, Suntec City, City Link Mall, Heeren, Bugis Junction, Iluma Mall, Tampines Mall, Century Square, Plaza Singapura, Marina Square, Vivo City, Ang Mo Kio Hub, Compass Point, Centrepoint, Chinatown Point


b) Jurong Bird Park

c) Merlion Park

d) Collyer Quay


e) The Esplanade


f) The Army Market


g) KK Hospital

h) Biopolis

i) NUS (into their labs, halls and canteens/foodcourts)

j) NTU (same as NUS, labs, halls and foodcourts, oh not to mention they have McD, Canadian Pizza and etc... look at UTAR... :( )


k) National Environmental Agency (NEA)

l) Science Park

m) Changi Airport (Terminal 1,2,3 including the air cargo)

Ok, it's kinda give me a shock to with this list. Although it's just barely a month, but im feeling like my second home here~
I admit i prefer working here than in Malaysia.. First and foremost it's the safetiness!!! Gosh, i was not worried at all wherever i go, be it alone or in the dark. Try do that in KL, you might just putting yourself on the verge of suicidal. Secondly, things here are so damn cheap!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheap as in if you compare dollar to dollar with Malaysia!!! For instance, fresh grads here earn around $2K+ as start off pay which is similar to Malaysians, RM2K+, some even lower mind you. But their normal Nike Tee here, for example, costs around $30-$100. Meanwhile back in my HOME SWEET HOME, it costs RM60-RM150/RM200. Not that sure, but definitely cost more than Singapore when it comes to dollar to dollar comparison in almost everything! Their snickers are like $1.60 only!!!! To get below RM2 for one bar of snickers here? DREAM ON!! No wonder there're many Malaysians working there.

Elo~ Malaysian Government, stop spreading lies to your fellow Malaysians that we are having one of the lowest cost of living in the world!!! Even compare to the states, say NYC, they have cheaper products when it compares with dollar to dollar!!!

Stuffs those craps back to your arsehole!!! No wonder we are having brain drain and many other problems that can hardly be resolved. Rasuah lagi lah!!!(Go corruption lah!!!) Even Coco Lee is keen to become Singaporeans and might follow footsteps of Jet Li and Gong Li to apply to become citizens here. And who is keen to become Malaysians? We only have Michelle Yeoh and Jimmy Choo~ =.=" and they are born Malaysians, so... tak kira lar~

Ok, im getting out of the topic right now. By the way, Im still proud to be a Malaysian okay. Im whining because I still love my counrty. Ok, back to the point. So, right now, i feel i would be missing a lot of things here. Especially ~B~ and of course my friends whom i managed to hang out with here, Siew Yee, Siew Lee and Roy and lastly my newly made friends as well especially Collin and Wendy.

I'll miss ~B~'s parents calling me "Wen Jie" because no one else has ever called my mandarin name before in my whole 21years of life. XD They find it hard to remember my name Eric, so i suggested to call my mandarin name.. Hehe.
It was so cute of the mom for asking ~B~ to iron my clothes, to prepare breakfast (milo) for me before go to work. ~B~'s jealous beacause the parents are treating me better. Haha.. Im kidding, ~B~'s not jealous lar. The parents were really nice to me throughout the stay making me feel like home. Oh yea, and not to forget about the dad, very friendly and nice to talk to and the brother, very nice of him too. I'll definitely miss the wake up call every morning.. Hehe...



~B~'s collection... my gawd... bet ya have not seen mine.. LOL... SHHhhhhh....






































Ok chiaoz... KL here i come. Nite nite world...........

Internship So Far.....

It has been quite interesting all along my training days so far. Yesterday i've got a chance to learn on how machineries and equipments in labarartories work.


Today i got to go around outside again as i said earlier, i was at Singapore air cargo! We were there to see how animals shipping are done. How to collect imported animals!

So it was my first time to see such mice.. They are NUDE MICE!! yes!! naked ones!! because they have no hairs!! hairless mice if you wanna call them.
.

Nah... nude mouse here!! in the cage!! LOL....
She's my coursemate Alice, whom is undergoing training with me here.. XD
















This is nude mouse!!
See?? Tarak pakai baju seluar like that..
Cant cpature properly coz they were running here and there!
Aren't they cute???? No???
They are lacking of thymus, which means they cannot generate mature T lymphocytes. Therefore they are incapable to mount several immune response.

Nah, judge yourself~





















After that we were supposed to step into the Biopolis... Too bad, our senior staff in charged has got something on. So she told us to bring us next time within this two weeks.. Hopefully ler...


Biopolis is said to be the pride of Singaporeans. It is a one-stop research and development hub for researchers from the public and private sectors, international and local where they are co-existing to work. I did get the chance to pass by the area though, but i cant wait to get inside!!!

It is said that this state-of-the-art Biopolis is housed to more than 2000 scientists. Some are very prominent scientists from all around the world. They will have conferences, meetings, high-ended experiments to be carried out sometimes in there and also exhibitions.
Pray that i get to get in there to look around before getting transfered back to KL..

Picture credited to flickr.... coz i have yet to snap one myself. Will do once i got there.. Hmmm

1st Day of Internship Training

Didnt expect the outcome. Never thought that on the first day of my internship i would be given so much to read up, to catch up, to digest, to whatsoever... my goodness sake..

Now im like back to study as i've got catalogs and books to read up now, and also i need to do some research on the internet. @.@
Anyway, i would say this training could be really interesting anyhow!!

On the first day, i was told that i need to read up this and that.Luminex is one that i should be focused on. It is said to be the very latest technology that you cant even get in Malaysia at all. Well, expected.. it's Malaysia...


So, next week, some professor or scientist is coming here to carry out this experiment and we were invited to observe how the whole process is to be carried out. There will be experiments to be done in KL too when we are to be transfered back there after this. Thus, my stay here in Singapore is to be extended for another week!!!


Learned a little bit here and there give us a bigger and clearer picture of how this whole industry is being run. So, i would say, this is not a waste. Hopefully it will be a fruitful one. No regrets.



So, today we were brought to NUS to check out how the labs there are being installed. Especially the animals facilities. The machineries, the system and how to manage a labs with different BSL(Biosafety Level) in different types of labs be it a SPF lab or not blablabla yadda yadda.

This coming saturday, we are to be brought to the air cargo to learn how to clear animal shippings. Wonder how it would be like... Hmmm.....


Oh my, i find all these are so interesting.. Cant wait for the next few days to come.. ^^

Night... Chiaoz... gotta read up my stuffs before oi oi (Goin to bed).

Days before Internship

Honestly, i cant really wait for tomorrow. It's my first day of internship training! wonder what would be installed for me to do.. Hmmm... washing test tubes and funnels?

Anyway, just got to know today that my internship in Singapore might be extended for another week.. it's that a good news or what?! haha...


Well, just hang out with Roy yesterday. At night, had a movie at Cineleisure with ~B~ and Colin before sitting for a drink at Plaza Singapura. Phobia 2 was what we watched.

Gosh, some people shivered down their spine through out the whole damn show... XD


Today, we were sorta too tired to go out actually and decided to rather stay at home. Thanks to the aunty and uncle of ~B~'s were coming with their kids, so we got out of the house in the end. It's because ~B~ finds their kids too naughty to stand.

And there we go.............



Changi Airport....



~B~: It's the best airport in the world.World Class airport. We have the best airport, cleanest, best this and that.. nah nah.. look here.... nah nah... see there... etc

LOL

This is what i got from the "tour guide". What a world class "tour guide" heh?! XD





There were so many things i wanted to eat. Thanks to ~B~, "Oh, this is nice. that is good. this is nice too.." all the way... like Waraku de pasta, Lerk Thai or JERK Thai u call it.. LOL

Then we ended up having our lunch at Popeyes' chicken & biscuits. It was good.. love the mashed potato but not the so-called biscuit. The "biscuit" did not look like or taste like a biscuit at all. Neither like bread though. Not even close to that. Really tak tau apa benda tu langsung pun. That's the only complain. The rest were nice, the chicken and corn.



















Eating while watching POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN~ Missing the cartoon.. hehe


















Oh, before signing off... guess what i chanced upon in the airport....


Gee...


Someone came back to life.



People thought he's dead a few months ago...

.

.

.

.
See???


















Oh my....







Doesnt this look real?
Ohh... how i wish he's still alive
Watch these videos and judge yourself....Sorry for the quality...




Seriously, till today i still feel heavy hearted for MJ and Yasmin Ahmad's departure. God bless them. They are the only two famous people that make me feel such a way for their leaving.


okok... i actually "kap liu-ing" now... how to say "kap liu" in english ar?
yorrr...duno lar... check dicionary lar... cant think of it now... ok, wanna go pee pee now.... understand???
till then... tmr gonna wake up early... nightz world....

Singapura Oh Singapura

Well, it's not that bad after all.. nah, it's Singapura. Nothing much different from KL. Just that here is so much efficient, cleaner, safer and everything seemed fast, including the escalator!! (got teased by ~B~ and Siew Yee aka ikan bakar over the "escaclator incident"). Here you can see kids cycling around residential area, people walking around late at night without fear. If you were to be in KL, you would have been robbed/slashed/raped numerous of times in the dark.


Was exploring the City of Lion since last Sunday once reached. Went to Ochard for whole stretch of shopping malls around including Ion Mall, Wisma Atrium, etc, (cant remember. A few more Malls), Chinatown, Tampines, etc. Shop till i dropped liao. Going to broke soon.


I would say some of the clothes here are cheaper than in Malaysia. Bought 2 pieces of tops from G200 2 days ago. Thanks to Colin for his belt, so i dont need to buy one. XD


Day 1: Went shopping and eat.

Day 2: Shopping again, bowling, met new friend, Colin (a very new nice friend) and got a haircut from ~B~'s hairdresser. I find it a little too short but ~B~ likes it. Siew Yee says "
aiya, you cut or don't cut still look kiddy" =.=

Day 3: Went Jurong Bird's Park since Colin gave us free tickets. Thanks again ^^
Was brought around to guide me how to get to the place for my internship at Science Park II. I was like.... @.@ Damn far
wei, from the place i stay..... Later then, went Vivo Mall for dinner, had Carl's Jr (So filling)... Didnt go for movie in the end for having too long a journey in a day. ~Tiring~

Day 4: Since ~B~ has to go to work today, so, went out with Siew Yee aka "smilling fish". Had Sakae Sushi at Compass Point Mall. How nice of her to treat me... ^^
(
Fupei, weeeee. yummy.. i got Sakae ler~. Jeffrey and you were right, Sakae is so much nicer than Sushi King. Well, dont think im 38 that now only i got to try Sakae Sushi, it's just that i've just started to like eat Japanese Food this year okay! Thanks to you friends in Kampar for bringing me to such food. Im already used to it now XD. Japanese food was a big NONO before this.)
After that, we went Swensen's for ice cream since she's got promotion voucher buy 1 get 1 free. Had Choco Crunch Ice Cream. The choc was heaven. =P

Tomorrow: Going around with Siew Yee again. She says going to bring me to temple, maybe Orchard Road and Chinatown again. Anyway, she did say wanna bring me clubbing in S'pore... wonder when...

Might go for karaoke session, movies, Sentosa etc for the following weekends


Below are pics for Day3 at Jurong Bird's Park



























~B~'s fav pic




















Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!! I love penguins. they're so cute~












































The Flamingos





















One of the many thousands of flower species in the park


























Pelican (Pelicans can fly as high as 46times taller than The Statue of Liberty. How amazing!)

























The Pink Cockatoos!! (The colours matched look so gay right.. LOL. We called it The Gay COCK-a-too) XD



















~B~: Ohh, dar, look... looks like you.... Hello Eric~ *Snap*
=.="





















The African Wetlands (If im not wrong)





















Largest Man-made waterfall




















Carl's Jr Chicken Club. (Urrgghhh, im craving for their potatoes! Their fries!!Their burgers are huge. McD thumbs down!!)




















That's the rap... Just got back from Compass Point with Siew Yee. Waiting for ~B~ to knock off from work only then go dinner together later.... ^^

Oh yea, since that PHOO PAY PAY aka FOO PEI PEI requested to get her name mentioned in this post, i would just do this. LOL
Ok done. Big big one for you... haha.

I glanced through the question and i THOUGHT it's something from the chapter i didnt know well, so decided to skipped it TOTALLY to complete the rest but only to
found out that I WAS WRONG and worse, it was only when it was announced "TIME'S UP"!!!


Should have scribbled the answer on the sheet last minute instead while papers were being collected.
The most i would get was just yelling from Dr Han in the hall to stop writing.....
Why didnt i go back to check on the question earlier~~~
Sigh....
Cant turn back time...
How i wish though...
