~*~ Yes, I did it again ~*~
A spontaneous decision... just like one year ago. My permed hair is back again and this time I went to a different hair salon and try out digital perm. I'm an impatient person, sitting at a salon for 3 hours is torture for me especially with all the burning sensations and smelly ammonia-based chemicals on my hair. I am very satisfied with the outcome... looks much better than the previous one and doesn't require much maintenance. Yeah!!!!

Celebrating 25th Wedding Anniversary
Went to eat Ah Yat Restaurant at Turf City yesterday to celebrate my parents' wedding anniversary. Our favourite eating place recently because of the enticing half priced live sea creatures offer. Had lobster, crab, scallop and spinach. The standard of cooking was disappointing... the crab not very well done, too much butter and flour, too little salted egg. Lobster was okok la, I don't really like the ingredients, I prefered the cheese-baked ones.. but my dad don't like... Scallops turn out to be super fresh and sweet.
"This is how is like after 25 years of marriage," my mum commented. My dad was at least walking 3m ahead of my mum. So, I went to hold my mum's hand and said, "Nevermind, you still have your daughters to hold your hand." Interestingly couple, I think my dad pretty unromantic... no present for my mum and leaving my mum to walk on her own. I definitely wish this will not be the scene when it's my 25th wedding anniversary.
TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) the terror
Starting to get hands-on using TEM-very expensive equipment!! I guess I'm a pretty timid person, not very confident on operating it... too many steps and details to remember in order to handle the equipment. I can't believe that me and my friends spent 2 hours to just get the TEM to start working. My heart sank when the vacuum inside TEM was lost when I was attempting to remove the sample holder. I thought I have spoilt the equipment. Luckily got colleague to help in troubleshooting.
TEM is not so easy for bubu. I must jia you!! I have a TEM slot on saturday... let's pray hard that nothing goes wrong.
My work so far....
Did a review on a SCIENCE journal article dated 6 years ago. It was on N-doped TiO2 being photocatalyst in the visible light region. I think I know more about photocatalyst and some characterisation techniques. Can anyone tell me how to do the calculation of density of states?? Lost bubu...
Mugging for my 3rd quiz now... Advanced Ceramics. A bit interesting module but very messy as there are too many lecturers for this course and 4 out of 5 were from A* institutions... It's irritating to have to listen to their great findings when I don't even know the fundamentals of the stuff that they are talking about. I am not even in the field, cannot decipher their jargons... ARGHHHH~
Wish me luck for next Wed. thanks
