Year 4, especially the final semester, has not been an easy one, what with FYP and all. I would have preferred to take modules instead of stressing all day whether I would have any results to write my thesis. I know I'm in no position to complain because compared to others, the amount of time I spent in lab is really little! But the people in lab really do make life in lab more bearable, and I'm glad that I have people to talk nonsense to :D The feeling of liberation after poster presentation and thesis submission was awesome! Okay, not that I put in a lot of effort, since the final year syndrome was really bad for me. It was more on the mental side, like the constant worrying and stress about FYP, so I was glad when it was over and done with. Some photos of lab people and FYP presentation below. And do I really hate lab that much? Because I didn't take any photos in lab ><

Overall, I'm grateful for all the memories that I've managed to forge with the people in school, be it life science, rotaract or ocip friends. You know how people always say that after you enter uni, you would not be able to make lasting friendships? But I beg to differ, because I'm sure that my relationship with some people would be able to last for a long time. Come to think of it, I think it was only in uni that I was able to really open myself up. I was surprised to be able to meet so many with people with a similar personality, or people that I was comfortable with. Haha, I still remember the "culture shock" after I entered uni when everyone was talking to me in chinese and I had to translate what I wanted to say first. Until now I can't exactly hold a convo predominantly in chinese, but I think I've improved! If people ask me what I'll miss most about NUS, I don't think I'll miss the school itself, but the memories that I've forged in the school.
Next up, TAIWAN!! Come to think of it, this would be the first overseas trip in my uni life that I'll be going purely for pleasure! Everytime I go overseas, it would be because of church or OCIP. Hopefully it'll be a good grad trip and that I'll come back with amazing photos :D
