Events for 6 dec and 7 dec 2006

6 dec is another day of slacking as i still am researching on the research group i want to work with in the 2 months.But after 1 day of work, we went home together as usual as a group. For dinner that day, we cooked chicken abalone instant noodles which i brought over to China. Though it still taste like the one cooked in singapore, it is great to eat singapore food again esp. in China.It feels so special, feels like a long time. After that, we went to bathe as it is wed, first time bathing in China so far after arrival. i felt good after the bath, as i change into a new set of clothes.But the bath cost 1RMB and only available during wed and sat. Only the guys bathe as it is open bathing and the girls don't feel secure bathing like this. The girls just use hot water to wash their hair.Anyway that's the day...................
7 dec, first half of the day, i slack and surf the net and on msn talking to people online. i also continue to research on the research group i want to work in for the 2 months. Lunch was great as we were treated by the director of the institute, along with dr zhao again with the stupid face, head and vice-head of student council here with the teacher-in-charge. We were served with a lot of small chinese dishes but the main dish is actually dumplings which is served last. We had a full lunch as a lot of dumplings were served and leftovers as we finish our lunch. This is a welcome lunch by the director for us which is to introduce himself and the people we can look for if we have problems.In the lunch,we introduce each of ourselves at the table. For drinks, we were serve with chinese tea and red wine. First time i drinking red wine, it is like so bitter, i don't i like the taste. The rest of the group saw my face turn red but after a while i was normal again.After lunch, we exchange numbers, e-mails to keep in contact.Then we went back to our labs and i was slacking for a while and almost fell asleep before one of my collegue pass me some information abt mRNA extraction and purification to read. But it is like 5 pages long, i read like the first page and started to slack a bit. But soon after i was ask to help to collect and clean equipments for the experiment. That's the day, after that it is soon time to go home and met the rest of the group to have dinner outside. Also went to supermarket again to buys things. After went home and sleep at abt 11pm.-----------So there's the summary of these 2 days work......bye bye for now......................................................
