Living between Realism and Idealism

November 6, 2009

Goodbye.

Today I said goodbye to a few friends. Friends graduating from Masters, some moving on to phd, some going back to work in whatever institution/uni that they're affiliated with, some giving their all to save the wildlife in their corrupted countries, some just pray for a job. Only 2 out of the whole lot that presented at today's seminar were not married/engaged. Am I that young, or am I that old?

"We'll be watching your seminar next!"

Those words remain long after the crowd dispersed.

Yeah, it WILL be me next. Back at crossroads so soon? And I'm pretty sure I'll explode the next time someone asks me about my future plans, or why I'm not sure if I want to do my phd. Years roll by quickly, but isn't life a journey? Would being ahead of the "game" make me any happier? Don't these people ever stop and have a breather? Life, after all, is unpredictable and only that long.

I seriously hate the fact how the coordinators work.

You don't post a notice, saying there's a talk/briefing on which-which day, a week earlier. You should've planned properly, give an early notice so that the students can plan their schedule out properly.

I checked the elearning today, to find out that there's going to be a talk next Tuesday. And it seems compulsory for us to attend. It sounds important. And when is the talk? Next Tuesday. And where am I? Needless to say.

I am agitated with how things work, really. I reached here, yesterday around evening, when I got a call from mum, asking me to go home this week for dinner. Family dinner it seems. I contemplated but seeing how important the event was, I decided to drive home this weekend, with her, have dinner and head back to KL. And I thought, perhaps I can stay until the end of the week.

And then..

Someone, or rather PEOPLE went and disrupted the whole plan, because they suddenly felt like having a talk on our supposedly "study break". I know it's our fault, to 'cabut' on an academic week, but we have no classes already. And all I want is just to escape and hit on my books. And SUDDENLY!, SUDDENLY, out of nowhere, there's this talk out of nowhere.

Eh, all I can say, f*ck you lah!

p/s: FYP presentation seems tedious. It seems like we have to present to the WHOLE Civilians. I am not sure about the details, but from what I understand from the notice, it seems so. Bodoh lah!

after a few tiring months... (PART II)

by attribbidda | 08:33 PM

So there, I stayed for a month at the Institute, where I learned of many things...

This is me, looking busy. hahahaha!!!

(And yes, those curls are REAL)

And here I am looking at a bacterial smear.

(This was before I had my locks curled)

I learned how to perform various tests for isolation of clinically significant microbes:

This is a set of manual biochemical test for bacteria.

(From L to R: Urease, LIA, TSI, Citrate and SIM)

Breaker: Miss Abigail, please describe the various reactions (practice lang!) hehe

This is Shigella flexnerii.

(As seen on Mac Conkey Agar)

Say hello to Vibrio cholerae.

(As seen on TCBS agar.)

And of course, I also found new friends and colleagues...

Here's sweet Miss Abby, who I learned to love like a sister.

And naughty Miss Rose, who's been a Registered Medical Technologist long before I was born.

I really had soo much fun, and I also learned a lot of things, and knowing that Lady Luck is on my side, I can only think of one thing:

"Thank You soo Much, Papa Jesus!"

My Sunday breakfast.
This is what you get, when you wake up, at your own home. Your parents get you, your favourite food of all times.

Salivate with me!

Six years.

by nandeane | 09:44 PM

Five more days before Gatch and I celebrate our 6th year anniversary. Yey!

Last year we went to Baguio. This year... Well, we don't know yet but Tagaytay is the most viable option. We're also considering Cebu and Bohol, but air fares are too expensive now. Hay nako, sinabihan ko na kasi siya dati na magbook na kami habang may promo ang Cebu Pacific eh! Baguio is also an option, if it's recovered from the typhoons (has it?). He's coming over tomorrow so we can make plans.

Sweet success

by monitorlizzie | 09:40 PM

Success!

Finished 20 pages of my major assignment, filled with lots of survey data, comparisons and philosophical stuff. I still find the idea of romanticism in conservation pretty awkward. Nature as purifier of the human spirit? Also turnitin-ed, and got a rather good score. Happiness.

A couple of years ago, writing 2,500 words was pure agony. Now I have to write 6,000-8,000 words papers, and I still go over the word limit at times.

Assignment completed 6 days early - that leaves me slightly over 2 weeks to study. Must study. Yay? "Do or do not, there is no try." Lets see who knows where that quote is from.

I somehow also managed to complete Hospital Hustle in one day. And won a few games of chess on chess titans. Go Michy!

Also, gang member #10, Mr Tan Yee Hou, got me a Twitter account without my knowledge. Like all of a sudden, hey, what's this twitter email notification with the right e-mail, username, and name? How bizarre! Haha. So yuppers, account's twitter.com/monitorlizzie , although I may or may not use it much.
