Finally!

Whee...today is the last of the block practicals for Scientific Skills and Technology! No more weekends in Bundoora :) My last 2 weekends consist of the following routine:

1. Alarm rings at 6.45am (3.45am in SG)
2. Laze ard in bed for a bit
3. Hit the showers
4. Change
5. Pack breakfast and lunch
6. 8 minute walk to tram stop at Bourke St
7. Hop on tram at 8.06am
8. Eat breakfast
9. Snooze
10. Arrival at RMIT bundoora 9.10am
11. 8min walk across the vast carpark to the building
12. 9.30am, lab starts.

All ends well today:) However, it hasn't been such a drag other than the early mornings and nights. I actually enjoy lab work now. Haha..weird huh? Having a nice lab partner doesn't hurt as well. He's the first Italian i know and he has lived in Iceland for 8 yrs. How cool is tt? Basically the postgrad group for biotech is a pretty nice bunch of peeps. Most are international students and 3/4 of them are from India. Another 1/8 are Chinese ( China, HK, Malaysia & Spore--->just me) and the small minority left are Caucasians.

We had a pizza party lunch today after our pract, kindly arranged by our programn coordinator Margaret Deighton.

Huge stacks of Domino's Pizza!!!!!! The lady in blue is Margaret:)

That's me and Sara (one & only Malaysian) while waiting for the rest to finish their pract and start lunch!

Some of us :) The dude in the grey jumper is the lab partner, Claudio. He's doing the same stream as me (Food Science & Tech) and so are the 3 on the right. The girl in the white jacket is Milin and she is from Mauritus!!!! One of my dream dive destinations. Next to her is Bani. I see them around the most cuz we are doing the same courses.

Lovely end to the hard work put in :)
