Woes

I think I'm destined to become a scientist. Scientist or researcher, all the same to me, all involve working in labs and doing experiments. And I was never crazy about practicals. I don't know much, but I have this feeling that most bioengineers work at Biopolis after graduation. And if I pursue a post-grad degree at the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, they'll most probably nurture researchers rather than letting me see patients. That's it la, I'm destined to work all alone, stuck in a big white lab facing beakers and test tubes all day long. Pray that I'll have an interesting job that I love in the future. I once told Tian that since I'm not fated to be a medical doctor, I shall learn to live with my bioengineering degree and be someone useful. Maybe I can work on the idea of the magic bullets that we learnt in Biotechnology and create a cure for cancer. A lot of maybes. Sometimes I wonder if we can create our destinies, but I seem to have no control over the major things in my life. I want to embrace my future, I don't want to fear it. I'm just thinking about a lot of things now, and I've just decided not to work or travel during the coming December holidays, but to get a internship at the labs. For all I know, wearing lab coats all day might be fun.

For now, my work is ok, very easy job so no stress, now that I have mastered everything in my job scope. Plus point about working has got to be my very nice bosses and colleagues here who were so helpful and patient towards me for the past 4 days. The security guards delivered my lunch to me, the despatch uncle bought diet coke for me which I sadly had to throw away after taking 2 sips because it was too gross - so damn sweet and..I don't know, it's just so different from the original Coke. And I'm not even a Coke fan. I wonder why he bought me DIET Coke, maybe I look like I needed it =p. Oh also, the manager who interviewed me is so kind towards me and he will always ask if I'm doing ok everytime he walks past the reception. Almost everyone here is very courteous and smiley, oh and the ang moh bosses always greet and acknowledge me so that's nice too. Right now, I'm counting down to 5.30pm after which I can knock off and meet my darling again!
