嘻

本人最近剛通過一年一度的答辯 正式邁入博士學位第二年咯！＊開心＊ 原本想說交了報告能偷懶一下下 哪知工作接二連三 想喘口氣都不行⋯今天終於逮到時間寫點東西啦！

話說上幾個月周遭發生了好多事 迫使我不得不反省自己目前的生活狀態 畢竟還得在這待上兩三年呢！把自己的生活中心完全放在學業上也不是辦法⋯思考了一下下 做了些調整 為生活增添些樂趣 成果似乎還不賴⋯真想一直這樣開心下去⋯

上週末和同事們跑到吉膽島 無敵歡樂！大家有說有笑 還拍了不少照⋯看見朋友上傳的其中一張 不禁愣了一愣⋯本人鮮少照鏡 所以就算某天某人跑來和我說我長了三頭六臂 我想我也會傻乎乎地問聲 真的嗎？這位朋友拍了好多candid shots 其中一張嘛 我笑得像個瘋婆子 不過照片裡的我似乎很開心很開心呢！常常忘了自己除了愛胡思亂想外 也能擁有單純的喜悅 :)

“笑 世界也跟著你一起微笑”

Lab Report Glossary

Marking lab reports drove me crazy. They left me speechless and I must have spent hours thinking of nicer ways to express my thoughts. As a result, I've compiled a handy list of comments that may reduce my stress level when marking the remaining ones. 

1. It doesn't make sense at all!
- work on logical flow

2. You're throwing in a random sentence that doesn't tie in with everything else!
- please elaborate

3. How is this important? Why are you telling me this?
- bracket sentence and comment "unnecessary"

4. What are you talking about? Stop using big words if you don't know what it means!
- use clear and concise language
- writing mechanics, word usage, and grammar contain errors that affect paper's content

5. Don't just jot down a bunch of numbers, what's your interpretation of it?
- besides reporting it, you should explain what it means

PhD Comics

PhD Comics, my new daily read. It's quite humorous to read about the exaggerated truth of a grad student's life. I guess it's somewhat comforting to know that there are others out there going through the same thing, and that we're all surviving and still able to get a good laugh out of it, hah. Anyhow, I came across this one and could really identify with the last few boxes. In fact, I've just blogged about it two posts ago. I guess I'd say I'm a Chinese American born in Malaysia, currently living in a country I no longer call home but still mildly attached to just because my "home" is coincidentally located on that piece of land. or to a stranger, I'd shorten that to, yea I'm Malaysian. and life goes on...
