I love my job

There is nothing more frustrating than to fight against a life long enemy and yet not place a face to it. Today, my girlfriends, let me remove this frustration from your life, once and for all.


Let me present to you your worst enemy.







Mr Adipocyte, a.k.a Fatcell



I figure out that adipocytes are male because like guys, they :
1) take over your life without you realising. You are obsessed with removing one and retaining the other.
2) stay on forever. The more you try to get rid of them, the more stubborn they become.
3) are the imperfections in girls' lives.
4) are the reason why girls bother going to the gym.
5) are the reason behind the stock market crash in the world of girls' self-esteem.




Still, isn't Mr Fatty cute!!! Those tiny droplets are oil droplets. Make me feel like pricking each one with a pin. And see the oil oooooooze out from the cell. And LAUGH!!! We differentiated these from mesenchymal stem cells. Really, I have so many fat cells, there's really no need for us to create more in the lab... *SNORT*


I reall love my job. There was once when my friend and I decided to paint our nails in the office during lunch hour. We were hesitant initially, because if the painting was not done properly, we didn't have any nail polish remover to clean up the mess. However, it didn't take us long to figure out that we can always make our own remover in the lab. It's really great working in lab huh? Fancy some ice cream? We have liquid nitrogen. Having a flu? We have masks readily available.


Me love me job:)

Graduation

I've finally graduated. I recall stepping into the plane on 26th Sept 2006, reminding myself to remember how I feel, so that when I look back in the future, I would not feel that time flies. Despite that, TIME BLOODY FLEW BY!!! There is a twinge of pain as I hold on tightly to the present, afraid that all these would be wrenched from me as 10yrs of my life fly me by. 30 years old. I wanna look back with no regrets when I am 30 years old.


Housemates



Returning to London for my graduation was a bitter sweet experience. Leaving college was different compared to leaving other educational institutions when I was younger. In the past, when I leave a school, all my friends left with me. The sentiments associated with the school were practically washed clean, because it no longer contained the elements which made the stay memorable. Moreover, all my friends would still be around me. Friends in London however, remained in London while I left. Some remained because they are still studying. Some remained because that is where they belong. I returned to where I belong, yet it's difficult to be whole again, because a part of my memories and lifestyle have been left behind.


Biomedics


Still, seeing familiar faces in familiar settings eased the pain a little. It helped to see that life in London still goes on without me and I should move on too.


Biomedics


On a separate note, I am rather indignified to find out that pubs actually serve half pints. For all 3 years of my life in London, I always end up giving my unfinished pints away. And these guys NEVER told me that I can order just half the amount!!!! Makes me wonder who my real friends are...:(
