so what's it gonna be?

never had such a long holiday before... been 2 months already, feels weird not to go to school or college, rotting away at home.

well, not exactly.

worked at dad's exhibition during Pets World Malaysia 2010 at MidValley near end of June

slack slack slack

worked in dad's office for a week

slack slack slack

went for trips, outings, movies

had so much time i decided to fix this jigsaw puzzle given to me by my Khai Kor

started at the beginning of July

finished end of July
thanks to the help of sis and my effort
1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle

soon it was august
been watching some great movies (INCEPTION was the best, 2nd place falls to Toy Story 3, Salt is a waste of time)

went to Penang for internship, plant tissue culture (one of my dads' exhibitor intro...) for a week
i've learnt quite a bit but i have to say my supervisor sucks, mostly labour work and i'm not paid
but i get to "learn" more about plant tissue culture, what an eye opener...

the plants i sub-cultured, hoping that they do not contaminate and are able to grow healthily
sub-culturing is sort of like cuting out small pieces from Big Mother Plant and replanting
all these plants survive without water and air thanks to the medium which these plants are grown in (the gel at the bottom of the bottle which contains nutrients and all the necessary elements)
all these were done in the Transfer Room where i had to wear protective goggles, hair net, gloves and face mask.
had to burn the forceps and knife before cutting, spray 90% alcohol around the table, kills the bacterias at the surrounding
these plants are 99.99% sterile, bacteria-free...IF
"you follow the protocol carefully!", as said by my supervisor, pfftt...

what it looks like when contaminated

looks like spider nest



sterilization room


culture room


preparation room

transfer room


microwave to cook the medium before pouring them into the bottles or plastic containers


well at least i get to eat great food in Penang
thanks to Puah Leong Yee for taking me around last saturday for Char Koay Teow, Cendol, Laksa, Tom Yam noodles, Lok Lok... non stop eating

A2 results out tomorrow... funny thing is i'm not worried, i know i won't score any A's but just hoping everything will turn out fine... it's normal to not feel confident, i know how i have prepared for the exams...
have to apply to uni soon, just really hope everything will be smooth sailing

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

Image
(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
