Been really busy with the Hysys programme the last few weeks... The E2 computer labs have practically become our second home, from mon to sunday, u will find us there without fail. Thankfully, it's over...

I'm supposed to be mugging hard these days to make up for all the lost mugging times before we start on another large scale project but I just can't concentrate right now. In half an hour's time, i will be having my internship interview for NOC and i'm like quite nervous now... Already did all the preparations that I could so if I didn't get it, maybe I'm just meant to work for another company. hahah No matter what, I will do my best! It's just two months to US and everything has gone smoothly as planned... Just gotta keep my fingers crossed and hope that I would touch down on US soil soon!

Basically, this company that I am going to have interview with is a biotechnology company and the scientific breakthroughs they have made is amazing. If I get the internship, it's like going to be the first time that I can really see how a scientific invention come into reality. But of course besides the glamour, I expect lots of hard work, not excluding spending most of my time in the laboratory. Since chemical engineering has been the path that I have chosen 2 years ago, I'm going to make the best out of this internship offer. The thing that makes me really excited is the opportunity to commercialise and market the company's products! But coming from a retail sales background, I am really curious how biotechnological products are marketed. I can't just go to a client and then start to woo them with flowery words. It require a great deal of product knowledge and research for sure. It should be a case in which it's the product that truely sells, not the salesman.

Need to look for a cheap airline to take to Philadelphia, besides Northwest! Any ideas my friends? Anyway, wish me luck for my interview!
