6th week. The second half of internship is finally here. The project we're working on almost reached the end. Today, we set up the camera-robot that will be used to take pictures of Green Fluorescent Soybean. The pictures taken will give us final results for the project. For the week, we will be preparing powerpoint slides for our exit presentation.. Nervous -.-".....
I just realized that the camera-robot thingy is one and the only one that could be found in the States. It was made to order for our lab, and the software program used to manipulate the robot was designed by a computer science grad student hired by Dr. Finer few years back.... Seriously, I never thought that high-tech equipment was specially made for our lab... Suddenly, I felt proud for working there :p
When I was walking home this evening, I was greeted by a grad student from China because she thought I was my roommate, the new grad student in her department. We chatted as we're heading towards our apartments. She didn't realize that I'm not from China until I told her I'm Malaysian. She said I can speak a very good Chinese, even better than Taiwanese. I felt really proud at the moment :P Finally, I can speak slightly proper Chinese. Honestly, I didn't really like the way we speak Chinese back at home because it sounds so lazy and "pasar". It's kind of embarrassing not to be able to pronounce some words properly even though we have been speaking the language for more than 10 years. Because, I hold my pride highly as a Chinese native speaker, and to be able to speak properly is always my wish. Hope you feel the same as well :)
``` Why $2000 now and $2000 3 years back are never the same? -.-?
