It's really a busy day...(but it's worthwhile, tell you why later). Fill in the feedback form in the morning and went for lunch at "somewhere far", Jurong East at exactly noon. Since we had quite a long time before 2.30, when we had to go NUS to collect our posters, we walked to IMM to shop. We were all so tired, drained out...
It started raining on our way back. So, we decided to take the NUH bus instead as the place is just next to NUH. Since our poster was not laminated or whatsoever, we had to use the plastic covers meant for wet umbrellas to wrap up our posters to prevent them from the splashing rain. We must have look stupid to the security guard...but well...It was raining so heavily that we could not run to the bus-stop. We waited for the rain to stop before we went back. Soon, after about 30 mins of waiting, the rain stoppped. We then made our way to the bus-stop to take the bus back. When we returned, everyone in the lab were admiring our posters. Yes, the researchers. They made comments like, "Nice poster", "so many diagrams, I never had so many pictures for my project before". And we are not the ones who are proud. Our mentors were the ones.
Soon after we returned, we were told that we need a mounting board. We then rushed to Holland Village to get in. Btw, it was drizzling and the walk was quite long. Horror of all horrors, we counldn't find the mounting board there. We were so desperate for the mounting board as we don't want to come tomorrow. And so, we took a cab to Jurong East. After getting our mounting boards and other materials, we took a cab back. We quickly mounted the posters and went down to the admin to give our posters, logbooks,...We were given a shock when we were told that we need to fill in a clearance form. We were keeping our fingers cross that our mentors will be in. Thankfully, they were. Before we left, there were a couple of " Goodbyes", "Good luck" and "visit us some time". Don't worry, we will.

To everyone at AGP lab:
Thanks for everything all of you had given to me during these 5 weeks. Thanks for the jokes, laughter and teachings. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Because of you, I realise that research work is not-all-so boring and monotonous. Have a good Christmas holiday and May God Bless all of you.
