Farewell, tll.

24 Aug 2007, Friday was the last day of attachment I had with tll. All in all, it was a fulfilling and memorable 6 months stay at tll. Although life was not exactly smooth-sailing throughout the 6 months, I'm glad i had a good mentor and great labmates to pull me through, not forgetting the encouragements I received from gakkai members and my family.

Thank you all!

Somehow, i left tll with mixed feelings on that particular day. A little sadness cause I'm going to miss the new friends I have made during the attachment period. A little upbeat cause the holidays are coming. A little empty cause I feel as though a part of me have disappear.

And, it was this particular morning that I fell down and scrapped both knees. Surprisingly, it did not hurt terribly, considering I could still walk downhill to the busstop, toured around the basement of vivocity, take the bus to yck interchange, walk the long distance to block R and back to the interchange again. Wonderwoman right? But certainly, it did not last long. The pain came during the night, hurting so much that I could not even walk around at home. So now I'm immobile, i guess.

Well, painful memories aside, heres some pictures which I took on my last day!(=
