Insomia - Dreaming of Houston
For those who don't know as yet. I'm going Houston, Texas, US soon. How soon? Possibly in the next 1.5 months if the visa comes through in time. Big boss decided for us (me and G) to go over earlier than later so that we can come back and slave for the facility. Excited? Not really. Well, not consciously excited at least. Feeling quite neutral for now, maybe since nothing is set.
Troublesome paperwork. Need to send the college 3 documents before they can send you one, so that you can use it to apply for visa. Heard visa application can take >1 month. So unless I can get the application in latest by end of this month, I will have to delay my departure date.
For how long? It's stipulated to be for 6 months, so I guess I will be returning sometime in Apr, hopefully can squeese in a 2 week break before I come back. Fo I think once I return, I doubt I will have any chance of travelling liao, with the work plans and the super lack of Manpower!! As of now, my facility has a strength of ... 3!! Wonderful!
Why am I going Houston for? It's for my work training. For those who still dunnoe, my work involves setting up a new facility that in simple layman terms.. grows cells (particularly stem cells) in a regulated controlled environment acceptable by international standards. As there are no such facilities in Singapore, Big Boss decided for me and G to go US and steal their skills. So going to be a spy for half a year.
There's other stuff to settle too. Like accomodation. If the on-campus accomodation is not available, will have to start hunting for others. Outside ones usually come unfurnished. I.e. have to buy your own furniture.. headache ah. Then half a year later still have to sell them away somehow. Sigh.
Having insomnia recently. Nothing serious though. Oddly enough, usually when I have my migraines, I tend to sleep quite a lot. But recently, I would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep, even when the pain has gone away. Thankfully, I'm still not too tired the next day, like now. At least can stay awake and do work. Just feeling not too alert. Shucks, having second thoughts about going gym tonight. Yeesh.
