Jet Lag

My Sony Ericsson W900i sort of died on me a few weeks before I got back to Malaysia. When I told my dad about my case, he said it must be the battery. So we went to shop for a new battery in Pyramid. Of course I gotta get a new charger too as I have been occupying HL's Sony Ericsson charger for almost the whole year!! We went to the Sony Ericsson outlet and the salesman took out a seemed-like-pirated battery out from a pack of 5 and said that cost RM199. My dad was quite furious. RM199 for such lousy quality. Trust me, it totally looked like pirated battery.

The salesman explained, "Oh, because there are 2 types of battery. Round end and square end. Our shop sells square end battery. It's better."

Bla Bla Bla... Whatever!

When we asked for the charger, he said it was RM90. Is he nuts? Or does he think we are stupid? I called HL straight away. He suggested me to look into other shops.

A while later, my brother called me and told me that his friend's shop sells RM90 for the battery and RM40 for the charger. HL also sms me, telling me that it's only AUD30 in total for both. Wow! Imagine how much money the Sony Ericsson outlet is earning!

In the end, we bought the battery and charger from my brother's friend.

I totally don't understand what makes them so expensive? Warranty? NO! The man is only giving me 6 months warranty but my brother's friend gave me 1 year warranty for the battery and 6 months warranty for the charger.

Cut everything short, I went back home and charged the battery. Tried it this morning to found out that actually nothing is really wrong with my old battery. Let me rephrase. Not completely my battery's problem. Inactive sim still shows up. Quite proud of my old battery which lasted for 3 years. In fact, it has not completely died on me yet. Still can be used.

It's 5am now and I'm awake for an hour already. Still adjusting from jet lag.

It's 5.20 am... and I'm awake

Yesterday morning was quite a rush. I woke up early at 6.30am to finish up my leftover unpacked luggage and got ready to head down to Sydney. It's the day that I'm waving goodbye to Australia and running into the warm hug of Malaysia. Because of me, the other 2 sweeties in my house woke up pretty early too. They have promised to accompany down to the International terminal. Since I still have something to buy down in Sydney Central, I decided to take the 8.30am train down from Newcastle and probably have some brunch.

I really have to thank the 2 sweeties. They are nobody but my 2 lovely friends - HL and KH. Because of me, HL had to reschedule his experiment time points. Because of me, KH had to take a day off from the lab. Because of me, they have to spend say over 50 bucks for the public transport. Because of me, they have to wake up early when they could sleep in. Because of me, they have to rush up and down with me, giving me a hand with my luggages whenever I need one. Where else can I find such friends?

Although they make me mad sometimes, they could be such sweethearts at times! We gave Fritz a call for brunch since we knew he mostly will be free and yes he was!! He even sent me off at the International Terminal. Do you know that the train ticket from Central to the International Terminal was AUD14.40 one way and AUD20 two ways during off peak hour?? OMG!! That's bloody expensive!! I felt so touched with 3 friends spending a "fortune" to send me off. Let alone that they have no stable income yet! *cries*

During brunch I sort of left the restaurant with anger to get the stuff that I wanted to buy before I go home. I hate it when people start to babble some stupid things for something that is not worth complaining. You know I'm talking about you! I left the restaurant with anger and went to the nearest coles in George Street. I sort of got lost but managed to find my way in the end. When I reached the supermarket, I got even more angry! They do not have the things that I wanted!! I got so angry not because they do not have the things that I wanted but because when I asked nicely the night before if anyone could accompany me to Coles to get something, one says "You can get it from Coles in Sydney tomorrow, " and when I asked again on the day itself, all sort of excuses came out. I'm not going to name the person and I know you know that I'm talking about YOU! *roll eyes* That's why I intentionally ignore your calls!

We left Central at 1.08pm and headed to the International Terminal. We were early when we reached the airport as I could see it from the queue which was fairly - empty. Boarding time was 2.40pm and it was only 1.40pm when I have checked in everything and got my boarding pass. So, we took a seat at the foodcourt and gossip. I promised HL that I will be treating them Krispy Kreme but as I have spent too much money in Sydney, I only had enough money to buy one and a half dozen. One dozen for me to bring back home, and another half a dozen for the 3 sweeties who sent me off. Though HL said "no need, no need" but I know he wanted it deep inside his heart. Hahahaha!!

I waved goodbye to them and went through the custom at around 2.45pm. Made a phone call to Jesselyn, wanted to say goodbye to her before I leave, but she is just too busy to be reached. So Jesselyn, if you are reading my post, don't be angry if you think I did not inform you that I'm flying back. I called you three times and left you a texted message.

8 hours later, I reach KLIA. I called my dad excitedly to tell him I have just landed. Not to forget, calling the 2 sweethearts back in Australia that I have reached safely. Er... and cried to HL about my cow that I left in his room. *sob* Long story, you don't want to know.

When I reached, I was sort of bloated with a "sandwich" they MAS provided. But dad insisted getting me some food - anything that I wanted. But there was too many stuff in my mind so I just verbal vomit out chee cheong fun, teh ais, satay, roti canai, etc etc.

Let Old Man know that I have reached Malaysia. He is flying to HK early morning today. Also informed UV and KF that I was back! Missed them so much too.

I'm home but I felt empty. Mom's in Taiwan, Dad did not come home after he dropped me off. All I have is my dear brother and my cousin tonight. I'm leaving for Taiwan in 3 days. Can't wait. Oh, I MUST meet up with Ben and Shaun before I leave the country!! Guys, give me a buzz before Friday!! It's 5.20am (6.05am now, took me 45 mins to type this post) in Malaysia and I couldn't sleep already. I'm already missing the two sweethearts back in Australia. Hurry up and come back!!

牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的

你們有聽過這個故事嗎?

牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的

故事開始

第一次很順從的給男生牽手，只因為覺得給他牽著很舒服很溫暖，後來卻發現…



牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的，因為後來就變成了他的女友，雖然現在已經沒有跟他再牽手的緣分，但那時的感覺卻烙著。



第一次和現在這個男友有不愉快，和好之後；他對我說…

你對我這麼好，我以後更要記得常常牽妳的手。


那時還覺得很奇怪，他怎麼會突然這麼說，因為他牽不牽我的手那時覺得也沒有什麼差別，只會計較著他記不記得說對不起。後來感情較深了，當他忘記牽我的手的時候，才發現那是不一樣的，手空空的、沒有暖暖的實在感，心也變著空空的；記得牽我的手，代表著時時想到我，那是連心都牽在一起的感覺，特別是有時因為提著東西，沒有空出手給他牽時，他記得主動幫我提，讓我空出手可以讓他 牽，那種被呵護的心情，是幸福的悸動…



第一次認識男友的姪子小寶，出去玩的途中，經過士林夜市，聽說那裡有一間水煎包很好吃，男友停了車讓我帶小寶去買，過馬路人多時，我牽著小寶的手過(才國小 四年級的孩子，連過馬路都是用跳的)，回到車裡，男友酸溜溜得跟小寶說：小寶，你第一次看到鄧阿姨就牽到她 的手，你要知道舅舅我之前為了要牽鄧阿姨的手花了多大功夫，舅舅好羨慕你唷！那時聽到他對小寶這樣說，心裡有一種自己是很被珍惜的感覺，雖然嘴裡念著：你跟小朋友說這什麼話阿～但是心頭一股甜味，害我硬是藏不住喜滋滋的笑意。



原來『掌心』『掌心』，手掌的中間真的有一顆心呢！

牽著牽著手～心也就被牽著牽著走了…

台語把妻子稱作牽手，是很傳神的，人都希望能在生命的過程中，與步伐一致的伴侶攜手打拚。有了牽手就不會孤單，有了牽手就有了力量。


然而，大多的時候，我們成了人家的牽手反而不牽手了。一般來說，新婚夫妻在婚姻頭兩年，仍會浪漫地手牽手漫步公園逛街出遊，然而時間一久，生活多了柴米油鹽，少了浪漫也就不牽手了。能夠到老仍藉由牽手這樣的肢體語言來表達愛意與關心的，著實令人感動。



其實，牽手象徵著彼此對對方的信賴及歸屬感，小小一個牽手的動作，

往往勝過千言萬語。『愛他，就要讓大家知道』。



好友曾說過一個小故事：


一天她與老公逛街，遇到老公大學時代的舊情人，一時聊了起來，她不免心中有些不是滋味，也許是察覺了老婆的心意，老公順勢牽起了老婆的手，舊情人看在眼裡，隨即意識到自己的身分，於是寒暄幾句，隨即告辭。



牽手是愛的證言，彷彿告訴全世界『我已心有所屬』。 牽手的動作，再自然 簡單不過，你可曾遺忘？



PS. 聽懂了沒? 男人! 所以不要亂亂千女孩子的手!

Merry X'mas!

Merry Christmas to everybody!!!

Oh ya, Happy Birthday to Lin Kooi!

*********

Felt quite annoyed now. My room is infested with bed bugs. Actually, after the bed bugs incident in KH's room, I never dare to sleep with my lights off, hoping that they wouldn't attack under the lights. But I was wrong. I was still being attacked. I got bitten on the left hand, left wrist, left arm, right arm, even my waist!! BUT I JUST COULDN'T FIND THEM!!

I got so sick of that, so I decided to throw everything into the washing machine and soak them in hot water. While taking off my bolster cover, I realised 2 bloody ugly and disgusting bed bugs hiding within the foldings. YUCK! I got KH to flip my mattress around but to find nothing. Eventually, he even flipped the bed frame. Voila~ Found one under the bed. Apparently, they are all very "thin", which means they are not the culprits for the bumps on my body. There must be some other bugs around and I just couldn't find them. This is scaring me and gosh it's Christmas!!! Is this my present Santa? *Sob Sob* I've been a good girl!!

I'm so gonna do a self pest control tomorrow morning.

DIE BED BUGS, DIE!

Laziness Strikes Again

I know I have promised many things.
Promised to blog about this, promised to blog about that...
but after such long wait, I have not come out with the stuff that I promised to post.

I'm so sorry...

Since my internet is limited to 12Gb per month, sharing amongst 5~6 people... Posting photos will be such a nuisance.

Forgive me.

I confessed that I have not even uploaded the photos into my laptop yet!!

Random speech

Nik said she was a total sucker for guys who could play guitar.

And I have to say

I am a total sucker for guys who could play the piano or string instruments such as violin and cello.

無題

好囉! 很久沒 Update 因為很懶
還是讓親朋好友知道近況吧!


今天跟馨慧和凱凱在線上廢了一早 想想自己也好久沒看到他們囉!
真懷念小時候那無憂無慮的日子

早上起床,刷牙,洗臉,去上學,放學,回家,做功課,看電視,與鄰居朋友嬉戲...
又有假期可放 寒暑假,拜六禮拜
天塌下來有爸媽頂
不會挨冷受凍,餓肚子

可是還不懂得知足

一直想要快快長大的唸頭,等到真的長大了,才會覺得還是小時後來的快樂

最近在煩很多事 博士班獎學金啦,適合自己的Project啦,好的教授之類等等
好煩喔!!
不過我很感謝 ZE 和 KH 的幫忙
真的是出門靠朋友啊! 真慶幸身邊還有他們

很多畢了業的朋友也忙著找工作
而且還處處撞牆,碰了一鼻子的灰
我想,4年後,當我畢了業,一定會比他們更慘吧!

******

最近一直待在家沒事做,說不定可以去兼兼差之類的
可是我再一個多禮拜就要回家了,有人會請一個做不到一個禮拜的工人嗎?

******

這幾天也在家做家裡那兩個男人的管家婆 難聽一點就是沒工錢可拿的傭人
洗衣 煮飯
只差沒掃地而已
自己的房間當然自己打掃嘛...

開始覺得自己一定是個好媽媽!! 哈哈!!
把那兩個男人當自己的小孩照顧 還挺有成就感的勒!
慶幸的是,他們不會又哭又鬧...
呵呵!! 那當然啦! 20多歲了還敢給我哭哭鬧鬧!
我還不把他們給斃了



好啦... 就醬! 掰!

Taylor Swift - Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

星座失控的100天

Plagarised from another person's blog... Pretty accurate I suppose...

白羊座（3.21-4.20）Aries

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

無法接受失控狀況出現的時候，自己的情緒也會失控，最明顯的徵兆就是亂發脾氣，亂罵一通，而且很容易為了芝麻蒜皮的小事生氣。

為什麼憂鬱:牡羊座最在意的就是工作上的表現，若是工作上有失控的狀況發生，足以讓牡羊崩潰，難過到極點，包括工作夥伴的不合作，業績沒有達到標準，沒有賺錢等等。

百憂解:要記住很多事情並不是都能如想像中的順利進行，讓自己的想法更開放，而且生命中不該只有工作，也要多關心家人和朋友喔！




金牛座（4.21-5.20）Taurus

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

如果以100天的情緒變化來看，金牛座就是前面99天都很開心快樂，但是第100天卻會完全崩潰的人。通常這時身體也會有許多小狀況出現，如頭痛、胃痛、失眠等等。

為什麼憂鬱:做任何事情都會留後路的金牛，若遇到大改變，可就真的完蛋了，加上鑽牛角尖的個性，若是身邊的朋友不敏感一點，最後可能會走上自殺、跳樓一途。

百憂解:巨蟹座是金牛座的好朋友，因為她的同情心及洞悉人性的特點，完全了解金牛的矜持，而總在一旁安靜陪伴也可以解除心防，讓金牛把煩惱通通說出來。



雙子座（5.21-6.20）Gemini

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:煩躁型

愛交朋友愛玩的雙子，要是生活變得平淡無趣，就會開始憂鬱了。瘋狂血拼、抽煙、喝酒，甚至會有暴食的現象。情感上的不安全感，讓她很容易腳踏多條船，總是有備胎情人stand by。

為什麼憂鬱:無法忍受生活像白開水一般的無味，要是生活上一下子變得空白，如失業、搬家，從前身邊總是熱熱鬧鬧的雙子，一下子安靜下來，「無聊」可真的就是雙子憂鬱的原因了。

百憂解:每天把手機、電話或其他對外連絡的管道，暫時關閉30分鐘到1小時，練習獨處，或是到戶外走走，多接近大自然。



巨蟹座（6.21-7.20）Cancer

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

憂鬱的巨蟹座，在憂鬱時可能會過度賴床，可以一整天都在床上還會明顯地消瘦，對什麼事情都失去動力，不管是工作、人際關係還是愛情。

為什麼憂鬱:雙魚座會為了而愛憂鬱，然而巨蟹座除了愛情之外，家庭也是會讓她陷入憂鬱的重要原因之一。要是對方有點不太理人，她也會像雙魚一樣開始自責，開始不安，陷入憂鬱裡。

百憂解:建議巨蟹座的妳，偶爾也可以做些平常不敢做的事情，例如，出其不意地換個髮型，來點平時不敢的打扮等等。都能讓妳的心情煥然一新。



獅子座（7.21-8.22）Leo

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

愛面子的獅子座，讓妳絕對聽不到她說：「我今天心情不好」等等的灰色話，即使妳發現她有點怪怪的，獅子也會擺出最燦爛的笑容，告訴妳她沒事。完全把憂鬱的情緒放在心裡，不特別觀察是不會發現的。

為什麼憂鬱:最容易讓獅子憂鬱的就是感情方面的挫敗，像皇后般的她，為了面子打死也不會承認她被甩了！

百憂解:請獅子座明白放鬆的藝術，慢慢來，很多事情真的不是妳1個人就可以掌控的，並且養成傾聽的習慣，偶爾放下身段也不錯。



處女座（8.23-9.22）Virgo

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

堅持完美的處女座，也是超級ㄍㄧㄥ的，所以悶在心裡的結果，變成容易莫名奇妙的發脾氣，個性變得比從前毛躁，有時候連自己也不會發現情緒上的轉變。

為什麼憂鬱:什麼事情都有條有理的處女座，一旦事情發展不如預期，或是沒有想像中的完美時，憂鬱便會席捲而來。

百憂解:請處女座的妳接受不完美的存在，這是非常正常的，而且，天底下也並不是任何事情都是有解決方法，況且有些事是需要時間來解決的，例如感情問題就是最好的例子。



天秤座（9.23-10.22）Libra

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:不安型

當天秤因為生活無聊而感到憂鬱時，會極度的煩躁，但是天秤處理不安的情緒方法相當多采多姿。她會到處玩樂、夜夜笙歌，甚至瘋狂血拼，但是太high的結果，很有可能回家後，就開始想哭，情緒起伏會相當大。

為什麼憂鬱:愛玩愛動的天秤，憂鬱指數只有2顆星，可見能讓她們憂鬱的狀況其實不多，真的就只有寂寞一項。

百憂解:建議妳可以多看點書，一邊學習孤獨的價值，一邊收新知識，另外，多和獅子座的人交朋友，她們的明快可以讓妳心情更輕鬆。



天蠍座（10.23-11.21）Scorprio

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

水象的天蠍憂鬱時，會迷失自我，反應在行為上，就變成整天賴在床上不想起來，甚至會不想見人，不想打扮。

為什麼憂鬱:因為水象星座的特質，天蠍也是容易因為感情而憂鬱的星座之一。不同的是，不服輸的天蠍，為了爭一口氣，往往捍衛的已經不是有危機的感情，而是自己的成就，往往到最後會失去更多。

百憂解:投資別人不如投資自己，把自己照顧好，也才有能力愛別人，並且天蠍要常常自我催眠，不斷的告訴自己我是最好的。尤其是在談戀愛的時候，也要保持自己的興趣，不要迷失了自己喔！



射手座（11.22-12.21）Sagittarius

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

射手座很有可能只會讓別人得憂鬱症！因為當她憂鬱時，更是會亂發脾氣，心裡有不爽快，絕對會對外大鳴大放的。

為什麼憂鬱:會讓射手憂鬱到不行的最大原因其實是自己，由於自己太過於主觀，所以常常和他人有意見不和的狀況發生，而且押事後還會否認呢！就是這種情形，常常讓射手在和別人相處上發生問題，但是又不會覺得是自己的毛病。

百憂解:和別人討論前，請先平穩自己的情緒，若是有爭執，也請先深呼吸一口氣，放鬆一下，必要時放下身段，柔順一點，妳會發現事情會有不一樣的發展。



摩羯座（12.22-1.19）Capricorn

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

看起來情緒EQ很高的摩羯座，其實最易被情緒擊垮的。憂鬱的摩羯其實看不出來心理正受著煎熬，要是莫名其妙發脾氣、身體不舒服的狀況出現時，身邊的朋友就要多關心點囉！

為什麼憂鬱:重視物質層面安全感的摩羯座，需要藉著工作肯定自己，同時對權力及慾望有很強烈需求的妳，若是遭到降職，或是從辦公室裡的權力鬥爭拜下陣來的時候，很有可能會完全崩潰。

百憂解:別再硬撐了，多和家人朋友互動，聊聊天，別把自己關在小圈圈裡，再不然，寫日記、上網逛逛都是不錯的解憂法。



水瓶座（1.20-2.18）Aquarius

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:煩躁型

一旦寂寞，就開始不安，手機沒響就會開始不斷狂call親朋好友，或是就泡在pub裡。

為什麼憂鬱:內心寂寞與空虛是引起水瓶憂鬱的頭號因子，若是生活中出現空白或間斷，比如說轉換工作間的日子，或是到了新環境都還沒認識半個人的時候，水瓶座便很容易有憂鬱的狀況發生。

百憂解:獅子座的果決明快正好可以和水瓶座的妳相輔相成，不僅超級有效率的作風讓妳大為欣賞，而且總是往積極光明面想的獅子，能在當情緒陷入低潮時給妳最好的幫助。



雙魚座（2.19-3.20）Pisces

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

迷失自我是最典型的狀態，讓自己不斷的陷入不安與自責中。失去信心，自尊受到打擊，會有情緒化的情形發生，無法理性思考，甚至會莫名哭泣。

為什麼憂鬱:雙魚座最在乎的就是得到他人的肯定，尤其是愛情。若是沒辦法得到肯定，雙魚座肯定會自責到極點，覺得一定是自己做錯事，情緒甚至會影響到工作。

百憂解:學習自我肯定，愛別人之前多愛自己一點。即使在戀愛中，也不要一股腦地就栽進去，把戀愛的時間拉長，並且一定要維持自己原有的興趣，免得一時迷失自我。

Exhausted

Just completely moved into my new place last night. Completely exhausted. I guess it will take me another 2 days to get everything unpacked. We have been travelling from city to Kotara, Kotara to Jesmond and Jesmond back to city, just to get a desired wardrobe. Walking up and down, in and out, until I'm completely worn off. Last night, while the guys were being hardworking carpenters, building their own wardrobe, I dozed off and fell into a deep sleep in no time until the next morning. Without the wardrobe, I could not unpack much stuff. So basically, I have been wasting the whole day doing nothing but unpacking one of my luggages out of millions of them.

It's 12.07am now. I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

Cindypaedia (End of year depressed edition)

I felt that I'm ageing exponentially recently. Dry skin, crows feet, backache, DOMS, deteriorate eyesight and hearing, swell up lower body, enlarged tummy, etc...

And I came out with this theory.


As a girl grows older, she becomes worthless. As a guy grows older, he becomes priceless.


I'm getting worthless in no time...

Why can't I be a guy??

*Sigh*

Untitled

Second post of the day...

Feeling depressed.

Phil said he has no project for me to do for phD!!!

*Sigh*

He thought of looking into miRNA after Spn infection but apparently Paul thinks that Hi alone is not enough for HL to do for his phD so...

(Mumble to myself softly) HL indirectly stole my project... =(

But he said he would talk to Peter tomorrow. Hopefully, he could come out with a good project.

*Fingers-crossed*

Roar!! Part 2

*Smirk*

I sent an email explaining my situation to her (since I'm such a nice and forgiving person) and guess what? Woah! She replied as if she was the 100% right person. I understand that to some extent, it was my bad. But she sounded like as if it was entirely my fault now.

First of all, she told me she will be starting at 10.30am BUT she did not start until almost noon! Of course I wouldn't have to move since she was not using the lab but I thought to migrate to another place only when she needed it!!

Secondly, she was only air drying like what 10 slides on the benchtop where it can accomodate like 100 over to 200 slides. There was just a pathetically small corner left on the same benchtop enough for me to do some pipetting. If she was fully utilising the whole area, I would have moved! Since she's not using, why I can't use it? And now she was complaining that, " I actually had several other things I needed to do there, but I couldn't as you didn't move." Waliew!! Like that also can meh?? It was because she wasn't using the space that's why I used it!!

"ELISAs are suppose to be done in the ELISA bay."

Duh! Everyone knows that okay? If not, why call it an ELISA bay? I just had all my reagents made up and kept in the microlab. I don't see there's a point moving ALL reagents from one place to another. What's wrong with our "mini ELISA bay" in the microlab? I just want to make sure there are no possible causes of contamination, am I SO WRONG now? I'm just very particular in ELISAs because it basically takes up the whole day and once you screw something up, *poof* thousand dollars along with your samples GONE.

"Doing the wrong thing your entire honours is not an excuse to do things wrong now."

Sigh... If people keep the ELISA bay neat and tidy, fill up pipette tips after they have used them, DO YOU THINK I WOULD MOVE? Gosh! After I clean it, it will be messy again in no time so why should I do my work in such a disorganise working area?

Plus, SHE STOLE THE 50ul MULTI-CHANNEL PIPETTE AWAY FROM THE ELISA BAY & LEFT IT IN THE MICROLAB LAST NIGHT. What? Trying to accuse me for not putting it back when other people are looking for it? "Oh, she was doing ELISA in the microlab and she did not put it back to where it was." Such a black-hearted old woman!

Okay... enough of ranting. I feel better now.

Roar!!

Argh! Gosh!! Could you just shut up, bitch?
Who on earth do you think you are?
Yes, I did agree on moving to another place to do my work so that you can do yours but that doesn't mean that you have the right to question my usual way of doing! I could have turned you down when you asked so-called "nicely".

It's just so freaking funny when people say "Can you (action) because I have to (action)?" Can I say no?? This is actually a "more polite" way to force people to do something that they might not really want to! Of course I would have to say "Yes" even I don't want to! Since I have said "Yes", I would keep my words. BUT, when I was doing my job, you weren't going to need any of the things I was using!! Obviously, I would prefer doing my chores on my usual way.

You have a big endpoint. So what? Big endpoint "Dai Sai" ah? Big endpoint doesn't make you the greatest okay? I was already very nice to you, giving you most of the work space. What's more do you want? Most importantly, I was not really in your way anyway! I would have used another work space if you are using my usual work space. But, were you? NO!! A BIG FAT NO!

"I have 70 slides and I need that space!"

*Roll eyes*

Whatever! You don't even have 10 slides on that benchtop at that time and I was just using a small corner which won't even "step" onto your boundary! You asked me why I wanted to do my work there so much. I didn't answer you right on the spot because I think you are god damn dumb to understand how I felt and what I was thinking. Bimbo! Oops, I don't even think I can call you a bimbo! Bimbo is used to describe an attractive, yet unintelligent woman. Too bad, you aren't attractive enough to be a bimbo.

Reasons

• I have always use THIS space for ELISA
• I make up all my reagents HERE
• I am more comfortable with using the equipment and reagents in HERE
• I need THIS incubator
• My antibodies are in THIS fridge
• I fill in my own tips HERE
• Everything I needed is in THIS room
• Who will be so dumb to transfer everything to another lab when you can do all your work in the SAME room? (I bet you are the one)

PS. You can see how angry I am from my word usage
PPS. You said I wasted reagent by pouring it over the plates instead of filling it into a squeezeable bottle first. I have to say you waste gloves by constantly changing gloves in the same lab! I know we should change gloves frequently when dealing with infectious material but I think you are way too over! Oh yea, you would have wasted reagent if you are not skilled in pouring. NOOB!

Bowling

Last Saturday, Adeline & Eric invited us to Mayfield for bowling. Not those Grandma, Grandpa kind of lawn bowling. It was the tenpin bowling. When they first asked, the first thing that came into my mind was the lawn bowling since it is a very common sport in Newcastle for the elderly. But then, it was in fact the indoor bowling that we had back at home. So I was quite excited and straight away agreed. I remembered my first proper indoor bowling was at midvalley with Annette, Jessie, Ben, Anusha, etc. I got into the side drains during my first 3 rounds and a STRIKE on the 4th. It was great fun actually.

Once again, I got into the side drains during my first round of the first game. Hahaha!! So embarrassing!! The kids playing next to our lane was so much better than us. They scored pretty high. We played a total of 4 games and we came up with a title for each player...

Adeline - Strike/Spare/Longkang Queen
Eric - Strike King
HL - Spare King
Me - Longkang Queen

From the title you can obviously determine that I'm the loser of all 4 games! Hahaha!!

PS. I can feel that I'm ageing... Got DOMS the day after...

Cut Queue!!

Cut Queue! Cut Queue!

Before I blog about those "exciting" posts that I have planned, I want to share something very exciting for me but not necessary exciting for the readers. After almost a year of hard work, I finally obtained a satisfied honours result and I think I deserve it.

Yes, that's my long for Honours Class 1!!

*Happiness*

*Skipping and jumping around up and down*

Happiness shared doubles!

PS. Cheers for Arsenal!! OMG OMG! I cannot believe that they actually beat Chelsea!!
