      hello 425bdya24,

      It started from very simple curiosity, and I think just like many other scientists, I wanted to be a scientist because I wanted to find a cure for human disease and or make the world a better place, but obviously the reality is so much for complex than that! I learnt to appreciate the hard work by hundreds of scientists to solve what appears to be a simple question, we seem to take everyday’s stuff for granted… As for the lifestyle, I know for sure I will never like the 9 to 5 monotonous office work and I want something challenging! I was scared too at the beginning because being a scientist looks very daunting but I realised that I like doing what I do and it has become easier 🙂
