When the Dracula's out, the humans come out and play. Who I mean by Dracula is my boss and who I mean by humans ... oh you should know .... us minions, of course ! So here I am typing away in broad daylight. In the general office, with Chow .... the not-much-time-left guy commenting on every single word. No harm done though. Because my thoughts are still mine.

This has got to be the most boring day of this week. Why is it that when you have a lot of things to do, you prayed for the clock to strike 5, so that you can pack up and go ? And when you don't have things to do, you do exactly the same thing ? Humans, are strange. Never will be satisfied !
So I'd finished the registration of the A, O and N levels exams for the kids here. This year it took us the whole of 2 days to cover the bulk of the kids here. All with dearest Eileen's help. She's one hell of a fast worker. Will definitely miss her when she takes her leave. [sad face inserted] With Chow all but gone, my buddies aren't around anymore. For lunch breaks, popups messages and stuff ! Mans, I'd be back to when I started, won't I ? Self appointed recluse in the "bomb-shelter". Hope it won't be for long though.

Earlier today, I saw a job advertisement, looking for Animal Technician. Will be working in a lab in the newly built Biopolis but there is an added incentive to it. Training will be provided in the UK. For 3 months ! How exciting ! Will definitely give it a try. No harm, right ? Urrmmm ..... unless of course one of my bosses managed to stumble to this blog page. Naaaaahhh ..... highly unlikely .... *winks*

Hey sorry for the major absences. I've been super, super busy with real life. Seems like my virtual life has taken a tumble. Not that I am not sad. Anyway, I've finally bought me a new computer ! And printer ! Finally, finally, I'd settled this major headache of mine. Thanks to Sha and Fie. Sha for helping me narrow down my choices (anyway, there wasn't much coz of budget contraints.... *winks*) and Fie for accompanying me to actually "buy" the PC even though she hated crowds. And major crowds it was on Sunday at Suntec's IT Fair 2004. I feel good. Annnnnd I spent quite a bit on getting my textbooks. So basically the last few days has been one huge spending spree for me. I got me a new digital watch (even though my new watch is working perfectly fine !) and a new red haversack. I have never had a red bag before. I love my new stuff !!! And yeah, I can't wait for my new PC to finally find it's resting place in my lilac coloured room. Which reminds me, I need to spend for one last time for a new computer table. Preferably wood and laquer finishing. Anybody know any deals ??? I might go to Ikea, or Novena, not forgetting the furniture mall. So exciting !!!

This is the comparative study of the size of the glass which was in my flesh for two whole weeks. Huge, innit ?

So well, then.

Last night's class was a downer. "Bloody boring !" is an understatement. The subject was so dry that I can hear it snapped into two an hour into the tutorial. How will I survive the rest of the semester ?

She Makes My Day ~ Robert Palmer

I feel so lucky loving her, tell me, what else is magic for?
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance, it really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl every day, and all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her

I'll never be lonely now I know her...(She trusts her intuition)
(That's in our best interest)
She fills my heart with joy...she makes my day
She just has to smile to blow my cares away...(We make a definition)
(She acts in my defense)
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay

She's all good loving at once, she's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once, she's all good loving at once

Our love was unintentional, she says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense, always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall, I'm here and there you are
We never fought it anyway

I'll never be lonely now I know her...(She trusts her intuition)
(That's in our best interest)
She fills my heart with joy...she makes my day
She just has to smile to blow my cares away...(We make a definition)
(She acts in my defense)
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay

The ignorant hand story

I am going to write about my hand.
I am going to write about how ignorant I was.
Ignorant, how ?
Well, for the past 2 weeks I'd suffered.
Or rather my right hand suffered.
Exactly 2 weeks ago to this date, I cut my hand while preparing the materials for a practical session.
Flesh wound with loads of blood poring out.
Had it it cleaned and bandaged.
Had a doctor see to the wound.
"Looks clean, no pus", said the good doctor.
"I'll give you some washing solution and cream to apply on the cut. The glass was clean ? Not from the ground ? Okay, not compulsory to have a tetanus shot."
I paid and was off on my merry way.
Tissue around the wound was bruised.
Tender to touch.
One week.
Still not healed.
Even had my blood glucose checked, normal level was the outcome.
So what was wrong ?
Finally yesterday, had a good look at the wound.
Saw something which looked out of the ordinary.
Glass shard !
Took it out and I almost fainted.
Now, the wound is healing nicely.
I hoped.
