Without proper farewell

I feel especially good today. Went to lab in the morning, wanted to discuss and finalize my MTT assay. Looked for Yaochun in the graduate room, instead saw his friend. He came out, I asked," Oh...Have you seen my supervisor?"... He laughed and told me..."Yaochun on leave... 他没有跟你说吗？"... I got a shock. Yaochun told me he'll be back in China, but I didn't know he went "without saying farewell". The other guy was amused by the shocking look on my face, and he giggled, "噢．．．　你可以放假了！＂I wanted to say, "Oh no no no, I shall do it myself!". Instead, I decided to keep quiet and smile instead.

Thus, it's time to get independent. All my calculations and methods have to be confirmed before I start the assay proper. And now without Yaochun around as my consult, every detail has to be taken note!... Haizzz... Frankly, I'm not fit for scientific endeavors, neither do I look like I belong to the arts side. However, deep inside me somehow, I operate through intuition and "feeling". And science do not go by f.e.e.l.i.n.g.s... Science needs hard facts and evidence. I guess I just have to gulp in this new practice.

Holidays are after-all holidays! And I'm exceptionally delighted during this period. I realized how I've been deprived of true holidays, considering that I've spent my previous 3-month hols working at Pantech followed by NUH. No wonder I feel so LiBeRaTeD!!!
