I heart Tennis!
Had a fantastic game of tennis with Fang and Pierrick in the evening! The last time i played was late last year and I didn't enjoy that game at all. This time I got my rackets restringed and regripped, got smacking new balls, got Mr Yeoh to book the courts for moi (thanks KEN!) and we were off to a good start. We laughed and played the fool amidst the wonderful "POP"s of powderful swings, cheering Mr Federer as he took on our wild shots. I had forgotten how much i really loved the game. How much i missed the serves, the running, the pops. My back hand still sucks, but what the heck. We made a pact, to play weekly, so yay! Finally found tennis buds! I heart tennis!
While we were waiting for 199 at the NIE bus stop (beside the courts), we were invaded by swarms of mosquitos. It was disgusting! everyone at the bus stop were moving and swatting themselves, i could SEE the mosquitos flying around in the dark. Me and Fang ended up standing in the middle of the road to stay clear of the evil bloodsuckers. To all you NIE peeps out there, beware... Its a filthy breeding place.
We proceeded to dinner with LK and YY at Sakae. Hungry researchers = many coloured plates = super bloated and satisfyingly full. As usual we cannot get away from any discussion without gossiping about bosses, complaining about how menial and unimportant our research is, or how we will never be like MIT or CAMBRIDGE grads. Nobel prizes and awards are outta our reach. But i know deep down, we take pride in our work. The best thing in doing this, for me at least, is the company of fantastic lab mates who are humble, understanding, and truely enjoy the pursuit of knowledge. We've seen each other through many areas of our lives and in our work, encouraging one another. I couldn't ask for a more favorable working and learning enviroment, or better collegues. So.. I heart Labmates!
Aching legs and arms, off to a good nights rest, tonight, I dream of Wimbleton with Andy Roddick and Roger Federer. sigh*heart heart heart*
