it's coming to an end

undergrad is ending
as well as my work :(

i remember the first day i went up to the professor asking if he accepts any undergraduates in the lab
he happily said yes and introduced me to the people there, christophe and andre (he left not long after i joined)...

didnt know what to expect but took me quite a while to get the hang of it and do things more efficiently...

christophe, my small boss or also my supervisor, had spent so much time and effort to train/guide me...for what i achieve now at work (co-authored his paper and preparing for the upcoming paper as first author), if it wasn't because of him, i wouldn't have achieve what i have today...
out of the workplace, he's my best friend...i couldn't ask anymore than this...he cooked for us, made sure i study well enough for exams, cared for us, partied with us, took good care of us...he's like a nanny to us...

soon...
he will be going somewhere else for good...i have mixed feelings; proud of him as he will soon be done with his phd, sad that i will not see him again anytime soon...

seriously, i wish he could attend the commencement...i wish i could share the proudest moment with him (of course, after my family)...if it wasn't because of all his guidance these two years, i guess i'm still an undergrad in the lab washing tubes...
will you stay till at least may 7th noon? =/
i will miss you buddy! =)
