finally...it's here!

now here i am in the Albany International Airport...
waiting for my delayed flight to JFK...
and onwards to Frankfurt...
no red eyes nor tears...
i "fought hard" to keep them in...
and didnt really said goodbyes to many..
which would end up in a mess!!
being it cool and calm...
now looking forward to Europe....
and back to SG in 2 weeks!!
wonder what's in store for me next???

11 Jul 2009 - Farewell BBQ for PX

thinking back when i first saw the name of my supervisor-to-be,
i freaked out and went...
*OMG! It's going to be some indian guy...seriously???*
(p/s: all due to that super bad experience at last workplace)
i wasn't happy about that but told myself it cant be that bad in US,
indeed it turns out that i had the best supervisor one could wish for!
i'm glad that Feryan was my supervisor!
always composed, clear-minded and smart,
friendly, approachable and helpful,
plus he knows alot from chemistry to travel to food and fun!
patiently teaching and guiding me in medicinal chemistry...
giving me the freedom to explore and learn about research work
made me build up my confidence step by step in the lab...
slowly being more independent...
though i was left under the "care" of the other seniors,
he's always there to help and support...
i'm grateful that Feryan organised this farewell party for me!
it's a lot of work on top of his workload at work and home...
babysitting 3 boys after work can be so tiring~
i had such a great time working in Albany...
like what Joel said...
"She's having too much fun here, time to get real!!"

Random~~~

it's almost here...
four more days~
i will be heading on my way home...
though my journey home takes slightly long...
eventually i will be back~
not really ready or prepared to leave...
i know i won't be ready even when i'm on the plane~
all good things will come to an end!
it's been really really really great for me~
it's an experience that i never imagined...
moving forward is part of the learning process...
i made my footprints in their paths...
they each made a mark in my heart...
just like anyone i loved and care for...
they always have a special spot somewhere locked in...
i hope we will cross path again...
sometime somewhere in the future...
