Reeewind!In many ways, this year is starting to resemble my 1st year at UofT: spending a lot of time alone, having
Timmy's' donuts, going home by myself, working my ass off to get the good grades, making new friends, & last but not least, having new eye-candies...=P And it's all good. I loved 1st year. I loved it so much, I decided to lengthen it by taking summer school right after. And that kicked ass too. Then came 2nd year, which was just disasterous & I'd never wanna be reminded of it again. Seriously, even my brain is working that way. I still refer to things that happened in 1st year as "last year", as though no time has passed in between. Repression...is that what they call it??
For the first time since my MGB labs started, I didn't wanna get out of there asap. In fact, today's lab was great fun...there's just something about pipetting that really intrigues me (I say that now, but wait 'till I actually have to do that everyday for a lab job or something, haha). Had a nice chat with the people at my bench while waiting for things to centrifuge, & I was more than surprised when I found out that my lab partner, who's at the age of 23, is married. To add insult to injury, she looks 19, so you can only imagine my expression when she told me (I was just asking her whether she had siblings, & bam, she's got a husband too!!). =P I don't think I need to repeat my views on
marriage at such a young age; I'm sure everyone, including me, is tired of hearing about it...
Totally irrelevant, but I was talking to my friend last night about
Hirai Ken & I couldn't help but ask: "Why do they always present him as this quiet, soft-spoken gentleman??". For those who still think that way, you've been deceived, because he's really not that. He's actually very talkative & has a good sense of humour...if you've seen his concerts, you'll see what I mean (in fact, sometimes I think he MCs too much). He makes all the ladies laugh, one joke right after another. Then again, they could just be laughing 'cause they're so in love with him...=P Speaking of his concerts, I'll be damned if I ever get to go to one & see him in person...one of my friends actually went to "Ken's Bar" in Taiwan few years ago, & 'till this day I'm still so envious...x_x
P.S. I only realized a few days ago that "Hitomi wo tojite" doesn't translate to "Close your eyes" (that'd be "Me wo tojite")...instead, it literally means "Close your PUPILS". Now how does one do that?? =P
P.P.S. One thing that I'm especially hyped about this year is how I get to have class with a good friend of mine from high school again!! We spent a lot of time together in 1st year (here we go again...see the connections??), but we lost touch after she switched to commerce. Coincidentally, we both chose the same course to fulfill our social science requirement, & we were more than happy to find each other on the first day of class (me especially, considering I'm one of the 7 guys outta the 150+ students). Turns out that neither of us has changed that much...& neither has our friendship. =)
P.P.P.S. While instructing us how to pipette, my professor added the comment "It's just like how they do it on CSI: Miami". That's great, but why does it have to be Miami?? And I also overheard the TAs calling him "Horatio" afterwards...<shivers>
