Ooooh. Guess what I saw when I was walking home today? A peacock! There's a peacock walking around in my suburb. X_x Did it escape from the zoo or something? I haven't heard anything about zoo breakouts =X It was wandering around on the front lawn of my neighbor's house. Blah, that's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Very pretty tho' ^^;

Whoohoo, Tokyopop have picked up 4 new manwha (stop calling it "kanga" Kuya ^^;)! Wai~ wai~ I wonder if they are as good as Island? But...... is it just me, or are all the manwha being translated into english the super violent fantasy ones? Curtis comics are also translating quite a few titles, but all boy comics =X Won't someone translate Full House or Audition? After hearing Reko talk about them I want to read those ;_;

I feel a sudden urge to watch Trigun again '_' Love and peace! XD Love and peace! XD Love and peace! XD

Cold cold cold. It's so cold in the computer pools here.

Does anyone really give a damn when I post about work or Uni? XD;;;; No, I didn't think so *stares at plate* GROOOOOOW

I told my boss today that she was crappy at PCR gel making :D................ accidentally. I was explaining that my bands weren't so good because the gel M made was all poorly made (not enough buffer, too much agarose, it was all white and hard)...... I said maybe she was too busy and didn't follow the instructions. And then D said that she was the one who made the gel and she knew it was crap and that she's really bad at PCR.......

I'm so glad my boss has a sense of humor :D................... ._.'''' She said my PCR was good la. I'm so happy =D I'm have been miserable if it didn't turn out because it takes the whole day to do. And when I was doing it in Uni last year it never turned out. Never! And then I had to explain why it didn't work and I had no idea why because I didn't know what I was doing at that time X_x;

Oooh, but 2 cows came up positive for Mycobacterium T____T I'm sad, those cows and all the other cows on the farm (all the cows in contact with the sick cow will have been infected) will be killed, and the farm won't be able to sell their cows for 2 years. T___________T I want all the bands to be negative T___________T

Geh. only a little while until I have to go to work. Better see if I can cram any of this week's haematology into my head before I go >_>;

Bah, enough of that. I will show D the polaroid tomorrow. XP;;

We started learning about Mycoplasmas (fungi) in micro today. It was really interesting. I paid attention the whole time, no falling asleep today =D; I was thinking "Maybe I should do this when I graduate!"..... but then they showed this fungi that is spead through the air and if you breath it in......... GAH the picture they showed us. Anyway, you die a horrible looking death. And they said over 200 lab workers have died from inhaling it and if you see it under your microscope you hold your breath and evacuate the lab as fast at possible. That scared, me Vachan and P off mycology labs forever ^^;;;

Oooh, there was a boyband (did I say boyband? They all looked mid-20s. Non cute =D; But they sang alright) launching an album in the city today. NTT or something like that. Vachan says they are a christian group, and P wanted to buy their album and get their autographs so she can sell it if they get famous '_';;

Dum dee dum, I think I had nothing left to say. Oh. Tandy were playing Jpop music videos in their store today, I made Vachan and P watch them all (BoA and Utada Hikaru) ^___^; Vachan said BoA was like an asian Britney Spears at which point I tried to strangle her, but P held me back T_T;

look what I won =D. And the sellers are so nice la ;_; They said not to worry about the negative feedback I got from that Baggins lady before (I mailed her 4 times and she never gave me her addy or name to send the MO T_T Then she gave me neg feedback. I cry). They said they'll give me excellent feedback to make up for it =D; Maybe I should have just gotten a new ID tho' ^^;

I got paid this week! There's money in my bank account yo =D

Wasn’t that exciting? Wasn’t that worth you waiting for this page to load =D yes, I’m sure it was.

M told me that if he gets the deputy head scientist job (and I think she will. She knows EVERYTHING about everything, the head scientist defers to her even though she's just a TA. She seems to think I'll get it, but god only knows why. I'd suck. I'm completely lacking the leadership skills ^^;) she will nominate me to take her job. The Jhones job. I like Jhones, I really do. I think the process is interesting and I do like the times I am rostered as the Jhones girl. But getting her job means..... it means..... it means....... Jhones every day 5 days a week for 10 months. It means no workpile. no plating specimens, no subculturing, no testing, no media making, no staining. It takes away some of the things I most like about work ^^; M likes me because I'm the only other one who can do Jhones, and I do it in a similar fashion to her ^^; N used to be able to do it but she resigned. I suppose if it was offered I'd take it for a little while, it would be full time work after all X_x But but but, I WANT TO LEAVE ADELAIDE!

There’s a guy down the hall who always stays at the lab until 7:30 or later. Always. But I never see him working. He comes in at 9am, he leaves very late. He plays solitaire all day, or that’s that way it appears to MA and I, who always let our eyes wander over to his office when we walk past (maybe 10 times a day). It's become a competition so see who can catch him actually doing work. I’ve been at the lab since March, and never EVER have I seen him do anything but sit in his office playing solitaire.

What on earth does he get paid to do, and can I have his job?

Me at Uni researching Haematology again. I was panicking over it before 'cause I thought it was due next week but now E told me it's the week after. I'm so relieved ^^; And tired I'm so tired, I slept through the entire biochemistry lecture and was woken by MA yelling at me 'cause she wanted to ask something ^^; It's not my fault this time X_x I went to bed at 12, but at 2am my parents SMSed me and made me call them in Shanghai X_________________x

Then Dad wanted to know why I didn't sound so good =_=; Am I supposed to sound good when you drag me out of bed to call a Shanghai hotel where no one apparently speaks english and you get passed around to 10 people before someone finally connects you to the right room? And then he only talked for 2 minutes O_< He said "are you alright", and "be good while we're gone" and that was it. ARRRRRRRGH, I'm so tired. I think they forget that there is a 10 hour time difference between here and there ._.

What an exciting day la.

So I had hell getting home ^^; I've never seen so much traffic in Adelaide. Pultney St and Rundle Mall were cordoned off and I had to take a round about route. I didn't even get to catch my bus, it was packed full of people and I had to take one that comes sort of near my house then walk all the way up from Norwood High. X_x I'm so tired now.

I suppose everyone knows about the Bali Bombings now. I was hoping my parents would phone me because they are in Malaysia, and should be on their way to Shanghai soon. I just want to tell them to be careful la =\

I didn't mean to get one. This is really bad, I had planned to study. Geeeeeeeh =_=;; I cut through Harris Scarfe to get to my bus stop and lo and behold, giant game sale! All PSone, PS2 and Gameboy advance/color games were half price. They had the PSone for $99 but the guy made a mistake when I bought it. All the games in the store were 50% off and I think he got confused. He gave me 50% off my PSone and I didn't notice for ages ^^; So I have my console for $50. ya! What am I playing? My brother left his Final Fantasy VIII game here, and when I phoned him he said I MUST play. So I'm playing that ^^; I got Vagrant story cheap, but all I've done with that so far is watch the intro.

Mmm I had an old modified Playstation before, but it was my brother's and he took it to Sydney with him. boo. At the time it was here I wasn't interested in any games though, so I didn't think it mattered ^^; Now I want to play cheap second hand RPGs yo!

This is bad. Very very bad.

[I've become a cosmetic queen. Nah has gotten sick of me ^^; You know there was a time i hated makeup........... and it was only at the beginning of this year]
