	<description><![CDATA[The tiredness I feel is as if I'd gone through the whole week of work, non-stop.     I'm back in the lab again, after not doing an real, hard-core lab work in months. While part of me is groaning at how little time is left for me to hang out in front of the computer, most of me is exhilarated and excited about being back in the lab. I'm running around a lot, looking through …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I think that the last time my family and I actually had a family holiday together with all of us present, was at least a decade ago. With school and work taking up most of our time, we hardly ever go off on a trip together.

So, it's another instalment of me tagging along Seriously Sarah as she does her Sarah Does Singapore column.  This time however, there were a number of us who guest starred in her adventure, not just me and Joelyn Alexandra. Heck, even my friend Pri made an appearance.

It had been a wonderful …]]></description>
