The more I know, the more i dunno

This is what i feel as im doing my attachment here, SIBS lab 1215

For the last few days since Tuesday (my 1st day of reporting), i've seen quite a number of experiments that i've not done in S'pore before.
As i follow and see the senoirs conducting their individual experiments, i dun really know the background theory, but as and when i'll ask qn like what's the function of this chemical, what effect will it does on the substrate..

Im in a cell bio laboratory, hence i'm using my knowledge from Mol. genetics and Mol.bio.
The practs are so far on proteins analysis and plasmids, DNA transfer...

The feeling is quite different as im actually understanding it all in Chinese, from all the reagents to names of processes. Names are indeed hard as many times i would know what that thing is if its in English.

Like 酶=Enzyme， 质粒=Plasmid，缓冲液=Buffer

So i relying on my translation skills yea. But scientific terms are standard, so i need to use the translation site, or research it in chinese to see what it is.

And perhaps through a longer process, i can get to work harder!

I believe this place is quite prestigous, as the students around me are all 研究生
So far the situation of the 4 of us here are:

One whose supervisor keeps going off, leaving her by herself without much to follow.

One does PCR, which is not very hard but long duration per time.

One, which i find tt impressive, got assignments one after another. He gotta flip a few thick manuals, connect them and conduct the experiments on his own! Wow, i think the professor let him learn as much as he can.

Then for me, im attached to two seniors, a guy and a girl.
I really thank my prof for making arrangement with 2 person, so that i have more chances to follow them when they are doing their experiments.

The theory part is not that hard to understand, but most are new to me, so to form a better jigsaw, i gotta search it up and read on my own.

My lab people, i can say belongs to the 'Chiongster' type. They work till very late, i think later than 9pm. I can always leave anytime as early as i want, but dunno y i wish that i dun have anything to do like washing, so that i can stay with them and learn as much as possible.

For today, all ladies were given a movie ticket to catch one show, in commenmoration to 3/8 (3rd mar) Women's Day.

Most of my lab ppl didnt wanna go, but i can choose to go.
In the end i didnt, cos the other 3 fren arent invited to go, so i can only go with some ppl then. Nvm, stay in the lab~


Shanghai's food is very oily but quite nice as said by my frens. But i wonder what will happen to shanghainese who eats such heavy-tasted food everytime in the long run..

It's rainy seasons now, temp is abt 5 degree or less. But with my jacket i feel like im in a 20 degree aircon room in sg. (shld i try it w/o the jacket? xp)


Right now i was asked what experiment do i wanna do. The thing is that i never pay attention to the titles of our experiments, so i dunno how to answer when my senior asked for the past exp i've done.. Man....

Then the exp i've seen so far are new, i dun really dare to try it w/o supervision of anyone.
But two of them had started hands-on le, i only at eyes-on level..
Hemm, give me a bit more time to find more things out on what they do, then i can attempt them..
