Cross breed in my Garden..

Took these few flower pictures while I got back from an outing at my front garden.. Found it quite interesting in the manner of science and so I took the following photos..

The actual colour of the flower my mum planted was this pinkish purple colour as well as the white colour flower below.. Not a very special interesting flower I agree, but take a look ath the third picture and see..

Before that.. notice that the pinkish purple flower is dark pink in the middle
While the white flower has yellowish center.. When both are crossed breed.. the following flower was produced..


Slight pinkish petals with dark pink center at a dot of yellow within.. Amazing huh?? And they cross breed themselves.. We never did anything.. haha.. so now my garden has 3 types of these flowers.. ^^
p/s: photos are taken only with my k550i.. =P

Lab Accidents

Only 8 days at work and I have already had 2 lab accidents.. Best yet, both accidents occured on the same day!! My colleague is asking me to go home and pray hard (because of the month of 7th is upon us) while my mum is telling me that I'm not suitable for research work and why not I take up something more safer, like being a nutritionist or something..

For those that still do not know, I had 2 lab accidents yesterday.. One before lunch and one after..

First Accident

I was filtering some solvent for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) when my superior (some sort like a supervisor, but they call them superior.. Don't ask me why, I'm figuring that part out as well.. =D) realised I used the wrong membrane for the filter.. As it turned out, that membrane I used was not suitable for the solvent I was filtering and had melted onto the filter set.. My superior then gave me another filter set to work with.. Unfortunately, the filter set wasn't the RIGHT set, meaning to say that some of the parts were of another set, so when I started filtering the solvent, it all "happily" spilt onto my hands.. Thank God I wore gloves, BUT, sad to say, solvents are actually capable of penetrating the gloves and I started feeling burning sensation on my hands!!

Second Accident

While I was filtering the samples into the liquid chromatography (LC) vials, I pricked my finger with a syringe!! This time, totally due to my own carelessness.. My superior was so anxious, you should have seen it.. But thank God again, the syringe that pricked my finger was a new syringe so

I was not in any danger of any potentially dangerous chemical entering my blood stream.. phew!
Well, I didn't mention about how the mess was cleared up or how I treated my wounds because I don't want to bore you people out of this blog!! So then, thats my 2 lab accidents.. I sure wish that none are yet to come.. And sure as hell, I'm going to pray extra hard for my safety at work from now on.. =)


p/s: working in a lab isn't necessary dangerous if you take correct precaution methods and be more careful.. So don't let my post scare you off.. haha

My English Sucks @.@

Have been working my ass off trying to improve my vocabulary for the past week now and to my greatest disappointment, I don't think I've improved the slightest!! Before the preparation for my GRE test, I have never once thought my English was THAT POOR!! Not superb I know, but definitely not THAT POOR!!

I mean, what the hell? I have been trying comprehension questions, one after another.. Trying different ways to score better.. And yet my score has barely ever past 50 %!! Oh my gawd! I mean, come on!! I don't think I'm actually THAT bad.. Am I?

I started of trying to read as fast as I can, thinking that I don't have enough time to finish the paper (which by the way, is very true indeed) and I ended up getting almost everything wrong! I knew I couldn't keep this going and tried another tactic -> writing the key points down.. Yet again, my score neared ZERO!! Then I thought, probably I'd practice more and I'd do better.. And guess what? Its STILL the same!! What is this man? I really suck in my English and in my general knowledge..

On the other hand, for the vocabulary part, I've been trying to learn a number of "alienish" for the whole week and I have currently learnt only about 50 words or so which is, to my dismay, far too little as compared as what I am suppose to have learnt! Oh gawd, oh gawd!! I'm running out of time and I'm improving TOO slowly!! Why the heck is this test so freaking hard? Or, might I ask, why the heck is my English so damn lousy?!

p/s: editing suck this time cause of my lousy mood.. sorry!!

Blogging

I've been thinking about blogging.. Well not exactly about me going to write a post..But more likely about what the hell is blogging all about? U see many different blogs are available in the net.. You see some that tells about their daily life, you see some that talks about all sorts of girly products, some that shows really artistic pictures and some that criticize every damn thing they see..

Some people blog because they enjoy it, some blog because of the money they can earn while some, some just follow the trend and start blogging.. As for me, I've got no particular reason to blog and have no particular style of blogging.. I love to share my thoughts and yet my blog somehow or rather not, became a "daily life sharing blog"..

Why did that happen? Well, I guess I can give you a few reasons.. Or probably a few excuses.. Whichever you prefer.. First of all, blogging requires nice pretty photos to capture.. and where to get them? From my daily life of course.. But then again, we see bloggers who blogs a whole long story without a single picture and yet they get hell lot of readers!! Makes me wonder, probably the way I write sucks? LOL..

Second reason, people often wonder is it save to blog? Will meany bad guys come catch me if I expose my location? Moreover, blogging about your life, is it well, too exposing? Lack of privacy? Too many thoughts and concern sometimes drive me to post things that are severely simple.. Something you can see in your everyday life.. I guess that might make some stuff I post up boring huh?

Third reason, I guess, I am one of those that follows the trend? To see so many people blog about their daily lifes itches me to do the same.. Haha.. Its not me though.. Which brings me to this question.. What am I? What do I really want to share when I'm blogging?

Oh gosh, here I am.. Doing this again.. I think too much don't I?

Life Goes On...

I may not be able to share the things I've learnt during my Centralized training, or during my 1 month training at Palace of the Golden Horses on Management Apprenticeship Programme (MAP).. But there is one thing that I certainly share with you guys.. And that would be my life experience I gained during those time..

From the day I graduated from UTAR, I had to accept the fact that I am no longer a student and had to either start finding a job or a uni to further my studies.. In addition, I realise that my lifestyle was in for a big change..

I had to separate from my housemates and dear friends that I have been through thick and thin for the past 3 to 4 years.. This, I can assure you, isn't easy to bare..

Not long after, I found myself joining the Management Apprenticeship Programme which brought me to Palace of the Golden Horses.. This programme gave me a whole lot of exposure to how a corporte world functions and at the same time gave me a chance to meet a whole lot of new friends..

Friendship bonds were made..

The distance between us apprentice were shorten.

And before u knew it, 2 weeks had past and we had to separate yet again.. The feeling wasn't any easier than the time I left UTAR.. that I can assure u..Then, there was this 2 weeks centralize training..

Again.. I met knew people.. Some new bonds were formed while some old bonds were strengthen..

Again.. 2 weeks flew past.. and before I could register a thing, it was time again for us to separate.. My heart still misses the time I spent with the people in UTAR, MAP as well as those during the centralized training.. And deep down I somehow wish all these didn't end..

But what do u know? If I've never left UTAR, I wouldn't have met those in MAP.. If life didn't go on from MAP, I wouldn't meet more people during the centralized training.. And even more so for those people I recently got to know on my on-job training.. While there are things that I might miss, life promises full of excitement and unknown in the future.. I miss the past and yet, I am eager to face the future as well.. I guess that's what humans are.. Resistant to change and yet eager for new experience.. As a friend of mine quoted, "Life goes on" .. I guess its true..

Centralized Training 3/8/09 to 14/8/09~~

I'm not posting much photos of the things I've done during the Centralized Training because I am not sure what am I allowed or not allowed to talk about to everyone.. Sorry guys..

Anyway, on the last day, we went crazy taking pictures around Carey Island.. And I would love to share with you guys some of the more interesting photos.. ^^

Saw lots and lots of palm tree on the way to Sime Darby Banting R&D..


Finally,we reached Banting at around 10am..
Found out that I would be staying in Carey Island for the next 2 weeks and would be traveling to and fro between Carey Island and Banting for that 2 weeks.. WOW!

After lunch, we travelled all the way to Carey Island..


More palm trees!! =P
Took us about 45 minutes to reach to Carey Island.. OMG!! Have to leave Carey Island everyday at latest by 7.15am just to reach Banting by 8am, which, by the way is the time we start work!!

Anyway, back to Carey Island..

This is the bridge linking to Carey Island.. Front view..

Importance of a Handphone

Last weekend, I smartly left my handphone in hun wei's car and headed home.. So I ended up phone-less for the whole weekend.. And you know what?? It sucks.. haha.. It seriously sucks.. I suddenly realise how dependent people are towards handphone nowadays..

Want me to show you how dependent we are?

When you want to know the time, what do you look at?

When you want to make a note about something, where do you write/type your note?

When you want to set an alarm for tomorrow morning, what do you look for?

When you are bored and sitting at the bus stop, or waiting for your girlfriend to finish shopping, or anywhere else for that matter, what do you do?

When you see something interesting, and feel like taking a photo of it, where does your hand automatically go to?

And finally, when you want to contact someone, what do you use??

Gosh, I'm never forgetting my precious k550i phone again.. EVER!! =p
