Summer research and summer villa

It's been one week after my exams. Last year, after finishing exams and the entrepreneurship classes, I spent about 1.5 months at home, which was super BORING. So this year, I decided to find something to do during the 3 months break, as well as to avoid being called up for KS (Kindergarten Service).

After spending 3 days back home in KL, I came back to NTU to start my summer lab research programme. Someone said that it isn't worth spending so much time to get the 4 AUs, but I am looking beyond that. Since Year 1, I have heard about that joining summer research is a good way to learn about the various experimental techniques, as well as to explore my interest in doing research. I am quite slow when it comes to lab classes (thanks Ming Jun for helping me to clean up twice in a row...), and this is a perfect chance to brush up my lab skills.

Thanks to YOG, NTU is chasing people out of the halls. As for now, Hall 9 is practically dead. As Canteen 9 is closing for the whole month starting Monday, only the noodles stall was open on Saturday and Sunday (ugh). Workers have started to remove furniture from empty rooms. Philip had already moved his things back home. As for me, I will have to move to Hall 6. Actually, my room had just been repainted last year, during which I was required to shift to another block. What I don't really understand is that they painted the walls outside the room just last year, and they painted it again in January and February this year.

Anyway, today will most likely be the last day I will be staying in my room for almost 2 years; I applied to stay in Hall 11 for the coming year to gain the additional 1 point. Even if I get back Hall 9, I doubt that they will give me back this room. Goodbye, my dear room!
