Gratitude to God (Allah, The Mighty)
I am sure that this enrty will come in appropriate as I believe that you must be wondering how have I been?
How's work? And etc...
For a start, let me share with you how I am trying to adapt to the new environment..
Everyone here is friendly and there are so many beautiful & peaceful area that I guess will last me for long to explore.
Althought it is very cold out here, the warmth from the people here just make me feel comfortable but rest assure, if I am freezing, my hero, Miss Hillary will be there to warm me up, hehehe...
It has only been 4 days, but oh well, I am already missing home(Singapore) and all.. But like what they say "no pain, no gain"...
So, I think it will work just fine if I can continue to keep in touch with home till I am much more settled down...
Every night (6-11pm in Dundee), I am in touch with everyone at home.
I guess this is what they call jet-lag, coz if you were to check the time out in Singapore
that will be around 1-6am (the time that I am always up to do my work back @ home).
After 11pm (Dundee time), I will usually fall asleep before waking up again around 2-4am (Singapore: 9-11am).
I believe that as time goes by, I would be able to adjust to the time. But for the mean time, I just have to bear with it.
In terms of food, everything is ok... I had already found out some halal outlets around the city (but that is subjected that I remember where it is and if the shop is open). Hehehe.. I can now pronounce myself as the unofficial 'vegetarian'...
I used to 'try to avoid vegetables' at home but now, look at me, I am eating vegetables or anything 'vege' almost for every meal...
Ohh god, this is just great... Healthy eating, yar.. Hahaha..
But yup, it will be just fine as I had come with quite a fair bit of food ration from Singapore too on top of the vege meals. Hehe..
In terms of work, first day at work is as usual... Introduction..introduction and more introduction..
Although I am suppose to report to work @ 9am yesterday (Monday, 8th June), there were some other administrative issues that hold me up to be there on time.
Yesterday, at 9am (Dundee), I meet up with Miss Hillary and we walked to the registra to settle the matriculation issue.
Apparently, the University works by the system and since my case is not the usual, there were some misunderstanding.. But rest assured, for my hero (Miss Hillary) was there to rescue me and I am now very much matriculated. There is some other things to settle today, though, which is to get the password from the IT dept and to settle the accomodation bill. I am paying by master card but I was rejected to make payment yesterday. So today, I will come by the payment office with my brother and try to settle it as fast as possible.She then walked me to my work place where I was introduce to Professor Mike Stark & his co. plus 2 girls from Ngee Ann poly. Later at lunch, we went for lunch together as Singaporeans.. hahaha.. Lab was ok... As it is only the first day, I had much reading to do to catch up. Later today, I maybe able to start the wet-lab on western blotting. The knowledge I gained from ITE and NYP is very handy, but I guess it is never the same as when you do something practical. Let's just hope that it will be just fine..
Till then...
See ya..
To my sayang, I love you and miss you lots..
