Almost a year.

I've started saying goodbye.

A week left in the lab; I'm due to give a labtalk on Friday, summarizing everything I've done in the past one year. Imagine, the first entry in my labbook, 2nd Aug 2005.

I've also had my scholarship award ceremony last Friday, typical affair with certificates, photographs, minister handshakes and reception. My dad and brother came down for it:






The men of the Tan family.







Oh and my brother and I managed to ride at the back of a truck when meeting my dad's friends; every boy's dream...but every mum's nightmare. She'd kill us if she found out, haha.




Have seen some friends for the last time, maybe till I next come back a year later.

Ending work on the 31st of July. I'll be in Singapore till Aug 7th; if you're free do call me up! Staying in Malaysia till Aug 26th, and then back to Singapore for 2 days before flying off in the 28th.

It's not really really hit me yet; maybe sometime when I start packing for the states.
