life here..

hey all

i can't believe its been 5 weeks since i am here. i think i accidentally stepped into a time machine when i boarded the plane at klia. 5 weeks seemed like 5 days only, either that or i have some mental cognition problem.

so, if you guys are wondering how i'm doing, all i can say that i have never been better. to scare you even more, i am actually touring new york city, not kota kinabalu, on my own next week. i'll be leaving duke, north carolina on saturday, and then heading to nyc. shall be going up to boston to visit my friend at MIT, and then going to nyc for the next 4 days, where i will meet up with an american friend of mine. it is gonna be a great adventure, scary as it seems, i'm pretty excited. i've planned to jog at central park, eat bagles, go up the statue of liberty, and go watch US Open, (as in stand outside the gates and try to break in), * of course i have no money to buy tickets to watch federer play lah)

so my 5 weeks here, it started off really boring-ly. but now, it's awesome. in fact, i don't really want to leave at all. working is so much more relaxing than studying cuz it doesn use too much brain cells. also, there is more patient interaction, something which i really like. i figured that i could not possibly work in a lab when it only involved machine or computers, or simulators. gosh, i would go crazy.
i'll turn into a gilababi and go to tanjung rambutan. haha

shopping here has been wayyyy too good to be true ( note: auntie and woman would die to shop here) and auntie, i got a new sexy ipod nano. hahahaha. black is sexy, but white is pure and sexy.

i've got one of the best collegues one could ever ask for. everyone is so nice. at the lab, its usually me, the lab guy, one other guy who's workign here for a year, and the principal investigator, who happens to be a medical doctor who graduated from imperial college. boy, he is SO FUNNY that he always tells stories during lab times. he was telling us about how he used to throw hospital garbage at other medical school's rugby players. hospital garbage including urine and waste... sounds a lot like IMU eh? keke

anyway, got to go now. take care guys.
