“The End” of CPTC. It was indeed a memorable one. Great learning opportunities and experience we had. After all, I did not get the “Best Trainee”, sad right? LOL. But it’s ok. Derrick deserves more than I do. He was more hardworking than me. Anyway, Henry revealed during the drinking session, that I was one of the top 3 in the group who got A for this 6 weeks training after tabulation of marks! One of them is Derrick (of course), Xing Wei and Me. Supposedly there was Kelvin too, the 4 of us got high marks for practical but perhaps he didn’t do that well for his paper. Mayb he got a B+ or A- bah? Should have chiong for it lah!!! (if only I knew there was best trainee and I thought there was only overall best) Zzz… And you know what, they didn’t mark all the papers at all! They marked those papers who are eligible for Best Trainee. They would subsequently mark and tabulate the rest of others marks only later. Logically, it’s hard to mark structure questions and tabulate marks within less than 24 hrs right.
It’s ok, over is over. SIP some more only pass/fail. Zzz… Should consider part of gPA lohz… Anyway, after CPTC yesterday, we met up for dinner at Muthu’s Curry with Henry. Though not all turn up, half of the class came. It was still a big enough group after all. It was easy too, all of us were guys, except for 1 lady, S’s girlfriend who both came later. We treated Henry dinner and in amidst of settling the bills, he was really going to treat us this time with his credit card! It cost like $280+++…! In the end, we didn’t lah, it was meant to show gratitude and appreciation towards him.
After that, some left and some carried on to Boat Quay with some drinking session at Brewerkz with Henry's treat this time with 2 towers of beer; 4 litres each. It was the first time, I drank 2 full mug of Beer! 1 at Muthu’s curry, the next at Brewerkz. I don’t really like the idea of Beer… it makes me feel bloated with gases… Bah… Anyway, I still drank. We all crapped a lot the whole night. It was fun. Dearest came to join (initial intention), but cause she left house late and couldn’t get her directions right, she came and help us took photos and drove me and ‘lobang’ Yang Ping, Wang Liang and Kenneth home instead. Poor her; but thanks Honey! Kenneth was damn drunk and talked damn lots… He kept pestering Henry to ride him home. He wanted to ride on Henry’s bike but I guess Henry didn’t want to be responsible for his safety. He was “tarred” (drank 1 shot) by our pressure and Henry’s challenge..! 1st mug slow, and subsequently 3 cups were fast ones. The quote of the night was “Bo Tar, Bo Lam Pa”. Haha. This was so call my first time hanging out with such a large group of guys, and crapping. Cool.

Heh~ Cheers...
Yeah!
Anyway, the Institute of Materials Research & Engineering is at NUS. Dr. Jiang Li mentioned that it used to be a joined co-operation with NUS. There’s allowance anyway; perhaps $440 like that. Working hours are office hours, and Friday is half an hour earlier release. Tea break meals will be provided like coffee/ tea with biscuits and etc. It’s available at the pantry, so can OTOT just consume! Cool huh? She also said that 50% are China people as Singaporeans don’t really like research. Zzz. I would also need to attend a 2 and a half day of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) training before start of SIP. There’s shuttle bus from Clementi MRT station too. However, I hope that we could take NUS shuttle bus which I often see it passing by Safara whenever I go school last time. Hopefully can save as much transport cost as possible sia! Jeremy and the other guy would be shag man. They’ll be doing their MP alone with different professors. For me, I would be working with Nicolas Pang. Hopefully, we can work well and get an A or even Z for it.
Anyway, I think my white hair will be coming out with it SIP starts. My project looks damn chim to understand. It’s so PIA and Organic Chemistry!
Here’s a brief idea from Dr. Xu in his email to Jiang Li:
The students will focus on the development of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) based materials. POSS has a molecule-sized silica-like cage structure (1-2 nm, depending on the length of the substituents) and can be functionalized with a variety of organic groups. PEG is completely water soluble and is extensively studies with many applications such as drug delivery, batteries and biotechnology. These 2 types of monomers (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) will be incorporated into polymers by probably ATRP method and the properties of polymers will be investigated.
I’m better in Engineering leh. Zzz… Whatever it is, I would be working hard for my MP! Moreover, this is my SIP. So basically, my 5 days = SIP = MP. No labor work and there are many advance technology being used there (this is what I heard from Dr. JiangLi). I’m seriously elated about it. Hopefully, things will turn out well as I foresee. Great thanks to Dr. Jiang Li for giving us this opportunity. I’m seriously lucky this time after missing the opportunity to go Australia due to my driving lessons booked.
