UTI

haha.. I am, better say wayne is, still organizing my grad pics. I was going to do sth with them yesterday but I was suddenly very sick. I suddenly got UTI yesterday and my body heat up to fight against that, ie fever. Early in the morning, 4am, I needed to go to bathroom but the urge to pee lasted for hours, ie your bladder feels very full all the time. It was painful and annoying that I couldn't fall back to sleep! I took herbal medicine in the afternoon. I feel a bit better as the "urge" slows down. Later, i am so afraid it'll go worse so I went to see a western doctor who opens on sunday, and gave me antibiotics. I kept drinking water, cranberry juice, and kept peeing and lying in bed for the rest of the day and night....

It was awful!!! what the story taught was, never hold your pee no matter how busy u r at work!!! it'll add up and your body will finally suffer from it....

p.s. I am surprised to see that the doctor on duty was my friend!!!! she started her medical school while i began my grad school. so happy to c her back and...healing me.. haha!!

First day of work

tired. what else can i say?

i look back how i arrive into this position. it is just amazing.

If i wasn't a polymer chemist, this company probably wouldn't have hired me!

If i wasn't "sor sor dei" applied for graduate school right after my BSc, and
if there wasn't an opening at my ex-supervisor's lab, i wouldn't have had the chance to become a polymer chemist.

If i wasn't tired of the technician job and wanted to search for job opportunities in hk, i wouldn't have gone to graduate school.

If i wasn't tired of studying, i wouldn't have had the chance to find a job related to polymer science.

If i did well in computer science courses in my 2nd year, i wouldn't have given up cs and major in chemistry.

If my F.6 teacher didn't make chemistry so easy for me, i wouldn't have done chemistry.

If there wasn't God, how would my life be? how would I view my life?
