A Good Laugh ... Future

W was right. Every now and then, it's important to have a good laugh. Had an extremely enjoyable dinner on Thu. W and V provided so much tickles, I was laughing so much that tears couldn't stop flowing. It has been a while since I had such a fun dinner with extremely good dessert too (went to Big O.. if you like nuts and chocolate, I highly recommend 'Nuttin Comparze'.) Of course, the company plays a far more critical role than food, and 5 of us were very comfortable together. It's really very therapeutic actually, to lose all stress over food and laughters. Thanx W, V, G and QY for the great dinner.
Completed 3 months of my internship. Had a meeting with my supervisors on Tue, during which Boss asked about my intentions after the 1 year. I was answerless. Didn't know what to say because I have yet to find my answer.
These months have been enjoyable actually. Guess I was lucky to have choosen my project and be in the lab. My bosses and the staffs are all very nice and friendly. Think I wouldn't have as good an impression of research environment if I had been working in the other labs (well, definitely not in the cell culture lab). I think I am a person who's very dependent on the environment and relations between people. I can't survive in an environment where interaction is minimal. Whenever I am over at the cell culture lab, it's such dreadful work. Everyone just goes about their own businesses, especially in front of each's BSC. You heardly hear laughters or chit chats in the lab. Luckily, my lab is totally different. The mood is always relax and unstressful. Laughters and jibes between people are common. It just makes one's work so much more enjoyable.
Still with regards to myself, I can't exactly say if I'm suitable for research. I frankly told my boss that at present point in time, I dun think I'm cut out for PhD at least. I seriously lack the passion required. Don't have the trouble shooting skills nor think fast enough. I think too slowly!! But my supervisors tell me such things develop over time, slow thinking doesn't inhibit one from pursuing a PhD. However, like I've told G, V and QY before, think I am only suitable as an RO at best. Research to me is just a job, enjoyable but not passionate about. I'm not inspired by the prospects of making ground breaking discoveries. I am just contented to be me. Don't know. Still have a bit more time to think about it, but my boss will be asking again very soon... Sigh. Hopefuly I've found my answer then.
