To start over new....

This is a phrase i learn from a song " The Reason"... Have been used it several times in my MSN nick, hehe.

The old online diary OD was hacked some days ago, and everything was gone, can't wait for them to recover....i have a lot to tell. so, the OD i should just leave it now i guess.....so i started a new one here...

I'd give up my job in Science Park, now working in special histopathology lab in NUH, under department of pathology in NUS. err, to be more precise, I'm registered under department of ENT (otolaryngology) with a Principal Investigator (PI) Dr Wang, and attached to another PI Dr Lim in pathology. So probably I'll running between NUH and CRC, cos Dr Wang's lab is in CRC.....Anyway, guess i'm simply lucky, and probably my luck bank is close to exhausted by now.... Chance wouldn't granted for twice i guess.....

My lab officer is a girl from KL, oh ya, the laboratory is floated with Malaysian, mostly from KL, only my supervisor Dr Lim and I are from Ipoh. Hmm...they are nice ppl anyway, tell me a lot of gossip in the lab and the toilet, hahahahaha...(how the hell is 'nice' going to do with 'gossip' ?!?! and about toilet!!) There are 2 PhD students in my lab (but always away for some thesis thing, the other one overseas), 1 research fellow from SGH (always away also), 1 UROPS student from Bioengineering, lab officer and I.

Though I have a project of pathogenesis of nasal polys, now still at the stage of learning lot of basic lab technics. been practicing cell count for last week (count until eye blur), and autoclaving, mixing own solution and medium, and just culture my own cell today. so excited, hahaha, like having own kids. their name is Raji and MCF7, Raji is suspension and MCF7 is adheren....this one are adopted. before I can have my own kid, i better make sure they grow pretty well, round and sound. My own kid most probably is endothelial cell that characterized closer to MCF7 because it also adheren cell. (some cell need to stick to sth to grow --> adheren cell) Later on must learn how to do cryostat sectioning, paraffin blocking, H & E staining and immunostaining.

Just some thought come to my mind, laboratory can really be glamorous. Sometimes, the experiment can be tedious, some may be boring, or time consuming. Despite there are lot of frustration in it, i guess there may just a process for us to learn how to appreciate a lot of things. Kayu told me some days before, biologist requires an attribute called "observant". I like this word. That's the beginning of an appreciation, i think.

Been celebrating cm and tw's belated birthday on sunday. called some canadian pizza, I eat 4 pieces and dabao 4 pieces, hahahaha, finished for today breakfast. I'm getting into trouble, my tummy can afford to stretch to the limit that i can never think of it before....wasting money man, I never gain a single ounce. no offence ya ladies...:P, my tummy is just simply demanding.......

I feel tired everyday even now i switched my job. But i feel so full everyday going back home, though sometimes i may have my own dinner, or own lunch. i have so much of friends in the hall and off the hall that i can think of, whose make me happy everytime i meet up with them, just lot of laugh and jokes. sometimes share some secrets, or k-po some gossip, haha, and outing for a dinner, or having badminton, or play some pool.....
