2006_11_14 @ looking forward, looking back

just turned in the few things due for my bio lab stuff today. it's gonna be busybusy in the few weeks ahead, but nothing horrendous until 3 weeks later. but i deserve a break. chilling out a little first, recharge before i get going yet again.

28 days and counting! oh my gosh... time simply flies. soon, u'll be hearing adventures of mexico from the 2 wanderers... i'm really looking forward to that 3+ weeks, roaming the world with darling again. and who knows what exciting stuff awaits... this is all we have booked:

1. my return air ticket to San Diego.
2. our one-way trip into mexico city

neither of us speak spanish, but we'll hand-wave our way to good cheap accommodation, finding our way around on the public transport and have a jolly good time of course!!

recent events:

• Girls' night out: a bunch of us in my lab dept went to my grad student's place for dinner and some good time! good stir-fry chinese dishes that shudan made herself + some cranberry vodka which one of the girls brought over. after dinner entertainment was mahjong! after surviving the 2nd round of mid-term, this was a great little break from work. =)

• Lab lunch (13th nov): over the weekend was the birthday of one of the grad students in my lab. so after lab meeting, whole lab went out to a jap/asian fusion bistro for lab lunch: boss's treat! the sushi was good, and the sizzling seafood hot plate which i had was...hmmm.. delicious!
