Holiday mood!

Terrible! Hehe, been kinda like in a holiday mood after my QE. Though I have also been hard at work doing PCRs, I really have slowed down. So many distractions-many bouts of cookie baking, parties, and now making tangyuan! Haha I am also really itching to play some stupid computer game when I really should be doing work :p

I'm so proud of my cute tangyuans that my mum, sis-in-law & I made today :)

Redemption

"Prof Meier cares about his students... " I blurted out to Pete, my supervisor, and I made the mistake of stopping right there. Ever since then, Pete's finally realized is 'mistake' and been trying very hard to make up for it! Haha, I think he's been so hung up about the fact that his student is "in love" with another Prof; he is jealous (?) and been trying hard to up his popularity stakes. It's pretty scary actually, with ur boss constantly asking after you, trying to ask you out to lunch, treat you to lunch, chat with you - OMG he actually relented and showed me his dreadlock pictures (yes he was a wild youngster, and you really won't believe it was him in the pictures). Especially when at the back of my mind I am thinking "Hmmm, what's he up to.. There must be an agenda behind all this niceness.." This is bad! It's really not a healthy relationship is it, to have so much distrust between each other. Ha, I can just imagine this (ok it's not very well-drawn, but imagine holding daggers behind your back as you smile to each other):
I really hope he has realized that he should care (sincerely) for his students' welfare, and not just so that he gains the adoration of his students. And yea, I also do wish to be able to resolve this asap, cuz it's quite sad to be like this, don't you think? Will I be able to let my heart get past this?
