Moving….

I am leaving this blog….well…will still keeping it, wont be deleting it. Just that will direct it to blogger.

Haha…Val must be very very surprise…, I am still new in blogging, cant really get up to use wordpress… too advance? Lolz…

Well…adding da adds inside is another thing that attracted me.

Oh, here’s the link to the blog.

I have it moved, partially not fully, and I did not successfully move da comments. Sigh…This is so sucks, but what can I do…I am still hoping for someone to come out with solution for it.

Bloggers that mentioned da application to change from wrodpress xml to blogger xml indeed changed da xml, but when I want to import it using the blogspot import, it’s a total failure. The error shown was unable to import; even though I had the xml changed formet to blogger compatible.

Sigh….bear with me…bear with me…

Thank you

It’s been some time, that I did not write up.

I did not have that passion, to keep this up, for quite some time.

I had to say, that I appreciate the time with my friends; thank you very much for taking and spending your time with us.

The culture to meet up and have a small gathering to keep us all in touch is very essential as we get older, we will realise that we have less friends.

Thank you for coming out today, thank you for such a great day, thank you for such a memorable activity, thank you for sharing your story, thank you for the planning of next activity, thank you for your presence here.

FINE

No,

I just dislike the feeling of making someone done something that they dislike it, and making me guilty about it.

I am not being demanding in forcing, just as in for companion, but it seems it was way too wrong. If that’s the case, I guess I just need to have a break, a break of trying to be one that’s not demanding, and a break of trying to get rid of all these.

If for what guilt had surrounded me for what I had done, FINE. I am now not making myself guilty anymore. I won’t be in that position anymore. I don’t want to make anyone involve anymore. Let it be me only and just me ALONE. I am fine with that too!

 

 

incident that can be avoided?

Read the news about the UTar’s students that drowned at the waterfalls. Knew it on sunday night, right after thestar.com.my made an update regarding to the news about 3 feared to be drowned, and today early in the morning, all dead body found.

Maybe those who felt like this kind of accident is fated, and they felt it was just too coincident and it was their destiny.

Well, in my opinion, ok…IT IS my point of view…I do not need readers to agree with what I am saying……

that actually this kind of tragically happened incident can be avoided.

Read the news carefully as in the deceased went to swim at around 5pm, and according to villagers, it was just after raining. And it was a common issue in Malaysia that we will have raining seasons at the end of the years, due to monsoon season… At the first place, why needed to go swim at the waterfalls, even after a cold rainy day; plus it was reaching evening-notice that this kind of timing, normally local won’t swim there, except for really dry and sunny season, or went to nearby site for insect sampling only.

Ask me frankly if I would go to waterfalls 5pm in the evening…DEFINITELY NO.

Since I was a kid, I always heard the elders especially my mum told me to avoid waterfalls, during raining seasons, even during evening, and especially when we cannot predict how the water current will be at falls. WHY? Why my mum will always remind the siblings about the dangerous of water current from falls? She herself experienced it. Once, when she was young, around 16 or 17 years old; she went to waterfalls with friends and sisters…when…. all of a sudden, a the water gush from the hill top of the falls, and fortunately, the sisters including my mum were able to climb up to a higher place, and they were trapped at the opposite site of the river bank from the mainland. So, all they could do, were to wait for the water flow to slow down, and they called for help. They waited for almost 2 hours for the help to get way, due to none of the experts dare to cross with the strong current. All of them were saved, and they never did dare to swim at falls, during raining seasons, or even after rained, or when it’s entering evening. This sound like a taboo…but it is kind of real that when evening reaches, usually picnickers nearby waterfalls will leave.

Whenever we can actually avoid an incident to happened, it can not be called fated, destined or accident. Sometimes, it is because of our failure to take note of personal safety and also friends safety that caused this incident to happened. Not trying to blame the deceased as well as the fourth one that survived the incident; but look deep inside this moral of the story. It caused lives, when we are careless regarding to our safety. Adventure can be fun, but think of the consequences when we want the adventure-do we well prepared for it?

Condolences to the deceased family….and also, to those UTarians that happened to still be around at Kampar, do remember that waterfalls are dangerous places, even though the nature and beauty of the falls might made you fall for it. Just bear in mind, observe what the locals usually do… As far as I remember, I do not have friends or family members that are willing to go waterfalls during evening time (even it’s hot and sunny day), raining seasons, or rainy day-definitely a NO at the timing of just after raining.

Here the police had given out a notice advice to the public for the waterfalls, due to the incident.

Oh, I forgotten to mentioned that-usually, waterfalls claims live every now and then, just depending to seasons and also personal awareness. If one is observant enough (or having any common sense), he or she suppose to know when is the right time to avoid waterfalls.

 

 

What the heck on earth that’s happening….

What the heck on earth that’s happening to this father?

Read the news….adopted from the star “Dad’s blind fury leaves girl blinded“

Due to wanted the girl to concentrate on studies, he can just splashed the acids to the mother and daughter?

Such an inconsiderate act by the father. I would wonder, what kind of penalty/punishment the father will receive for his act.

This just reminds me of something similar that almost happen to me as well, not with acid, but with an axe!

Such barbaric act by the father…

Hope the girl will have the courages to continue with her life, while accept the fact that her mother was gone leaving she and her brother.

What can the father do now? The girl has been blinded permanently and now, how she is going to cope with this disability?

On the other hand, I just don’t understand what is this stupid Gov is doing. They planned in the budget 2010 that RM 50 service tax will be charged for each credit card…and do you think this is for the ‘rakyat’ own good? For God’s sake, they should have stop to blur the ‘rakyat’ and treating the ‘rakyat’ as they are dumb.

This isn’t the first time that the stupid Gov came out with stupid idea and once again, due to this kind of stupid suggestion, the ‘rakyat’ has to suffer the consequences.

WHY ON EARTH THAT ALIEN IN MY LAB EXIST?

WHY ON EARTH THAT ALIEN IN MY LAB EXIST?

Ok, I am sorry that I had to use all caps in the above sentence. I just wanted to emphasize that the alien in the lab indeed very very annoying.

She even posted in her facebook shout out that how desperately she wanted to get a PhD, so that all the tedious work will be done by some other person; and all the credits belongs to her. (such an arrogant person!) Oh, crap!

This alien in the lab doesn’t even deserve to get into honours. She will just make all the previously graduated honours students get disgusted by knowing Mon-Uni is getting such a student as honours student!

She even complaint that how tired is working lab works and there was this day that she actually worked until pass 6pm, she continuously absent herself for 5 days! I guess she must be claiming that she needed those days for resting…

Oh my gosh…if just working for over 6pm is tiring for her; what about us that we work more than 12 hours in the lab? She is just not the material to work in the lab, and I don’t seems to understand why that she still want to continue honours. Damn it.

Ok…my bad, my bad…I should have not to judge or comment people in such a way…but I couldn’t help it. She is just too annoying. And…did I ever mentioned that everytime she enter the lab and stayed there, the lab will have one kind of  smell that stained and it’s awkward… ==”

The day the Uni is shaking!

Well….

My bad, my bad….

That I did not update news regarding to the alien….

But before I start blogging about the alien, I want to blog about special happening at Uni today.

What’s so special?

Erm….While I am checking some email+pet society-ing-restaurant city-ing and also watching video, I suddenly felt my chair was shaking. I happen to ignored it totally, but….

This shaking grew more vigorously until I felt like those words that I am typing and reading were too blurred. I took a look at those buffers on top of the shelf…all are shaking…and so do my water bottle that was just next to the notebook. At this point, I know that this isn’t something like over sensitive or imagination. I indeed felt something similiar, when heavy truck/vehicle passed by the Uni for the construction behind. Well…this shaking seems to be not originated from the heavy truck, as I see none from the lab window.

Short after I asked WC, if she experienced it, JT came in and asked what’s happening, as she felt like the building is agitating. Wow, at least, I have someone came in and exclaimed that she felt the building is agitating. I definitely positive on not having imagination.

For whatever reason that is making the building agitating for a while…I guess maybe is still due to the constructions, behind and next to the Uni……

days with alien, epi3(special edition)-part II

I am so happy to say that my BP getting to become normal again. This is all because both me n WC did not see this alien in the lab since Sunday. Well, maybe I should not celebrate so early…but I just could not help myself. I must share out this good news…

Oh, ya… the decision to make this special edition into part 1 and part 2 was out of the blue. A sudden breaking news shocked me, and I felt there is this urge for me to spread it out.

SBK asked someone from WC’s batch to become his part time RA. (Oh, forgot to mention, this WC isn’t Val, so, don’t mistakenly dragged Val in…lol…this WC is another Lee in the lab). This person, initially thought it was quite an interesting offer as the part time RA duty is just to finish up the remaining lab works from MY’s part. It was mentioned that it will involve just PCRs and also sequencing and analyzing of the sequenced results. SBK also said that he wanted to find this person, because he heard from other lecturers that this person is good and trust worthy to be hired as RA. So, SBK is the one approached this person to ask him for the job offer. (Indeed this person has the credibility to be recommended by other lecturers) and….all this Sounds great, right?

Who knows, that this SBK might…OK…I mentioned might (cause it have not yet happened, it is all my assumption),  trying to manipulate this person. Why I says so? A few days ago, this person lets name as A, came in and said that it will be confirmed at September. So, both me and WC were like “HUH?” And A mentioned that SBK might require A to do field sampling or will need A as a helper for collecting samples. Well, luckily A was like kind of smart to brush off the topic of transportation involving A, because SBK asked A regarding to A’s type of transportation. Of course, A did mentioned that A is driving to Uni, but A quickly react as in, if in field sampling or collecting samples, A will be following SBK. (Which is kind of true, because the lecturer have to provide the transportation, or else, the RA can claim from the lecturer’s grant for what the RA had paid for.)

After that conversation between A and SBK, A came in and inform us as in September will be the starting month. I was surprised. What I meant that I was surprise? If not because A mentioned that A might have the possibility to become RA with SBK, SBK actually did not even inform me. Ok, fine. Who the hell I am, in a position that he needed to inform or let me know that he will be hiring RA….BUT, he did mentioned to WC and he expect WC to tell me?! And who is the official student that register under his supervision? Ok, I am not showing jealousy, but I am having pity to myself that my supervisor didn’t even have the heart to let me know (okok, so do I….. I am also back stabbing him now and I don’t even have the interest to inform him regarding my problems!; lets get even!!!)

Oh, forgot to mention that, SBK also excountered the alien weirdness. How do I know? Well, my ‘bomoh-ship’ superior witnessed it when doing some animal tissue culture thingy at the general tissue culture lab. When this alien was doing plant extraction, there will be a lot of steps requiring flicking of microcentrifuge tube to mix. And, well….this alien replied to sbk that she find it hard to use finger to do the flicking. This alien even mentioned to sbk that she just cannot do it(the flicking with finger). So, this alien asked permission to take some tubes to go back home and practise. OMG!!! I am wondering, did she really graduate from B.Sc Biotechnology?!

Hmm…coming up next, is internal conflix……. ==”

Days with alien, epi3 (special edition)-part I

Well, now here is the story regarding to the alien’s supervisors that seems to be not innocent at all!!!

They (2 lecturers: C.C and SBK), knew that this student (a.k.a da alien) is problematic and received a lot of complains before, but….Yes, BUT… They don’t even bother to warn us or inform us anything.

WC confronted and talked with SBK regarding to this alien, as in we, those in the labs cannot stand this alien arrogant, and ignorance, plus the everything-put the supervisor’s name to scare us. This SBK told WC that we should be more understanding and should guide and teach her slowly. WTF!!! If we are hired specially just to teach, then it’s totally a different story, but we are also students and now, SBK expect us to teach and guide and be more understanding?! Hey, come on, if we are suppose to be more understanding for this alien, who will be more understanding for us?! This SBK really talks bull sh*t.

Later, in some other time, SBK talked to WC again, regarding to this alien. He mentioned something as in, guys and girls thinks differently. OMG such a lame excuse and statement. Of course, individuals thinks differently. Even guys and guys also can think differently…and brothers and sisters also thinks differently, due to we are called individual and we have variances…What the heck he thought to tell us that guys and girls thinks differently?! He said, they (C.C and SBK) can just finished and solve the problem regarding to the alien in 2 minutes, but we girls cannot seems to solve it even after few days. After I heard that, I was like ‘ D*mn you, SBK!!!’ And do you want to know how he n C.C solved it? They said they will move the alien to next door, with Kmr’s lab and the problem solved! I was so f*cking cannot believe it. They thought that already solved the problems? NOT AT ALL! This is because when we asked, if she will ever come back in sbk’s lab to do her lab work, the answer was YES, she got the rights to do the lab work in SBK’s lab, also she can go over to C.C’s to do lab work, plus now she can do lab work in Kmr’s lab and uses the utilities in all of these 3 labs. I was so surprise, that this was considered problems solved and case closed. Do you think the case closed?

I can ensure you, more problems will aroused, due to this alien is a high maintenance student. This alien will just ruined every lab that IT enters. The more lab IT messed up, the more people will complain about her problems.  And then, why the double standards? This alien is a student, so do me n WC! We are also students and we also did not have such a privilege?! Do you know what C.C said to me? He said, that we need to speaks softly, have to use a soft lay-back  attitude and do not use harsh words towards this alien as in to keep both of us safe? WHY?! Moreover, even C.C mentioned that he don’t want to takes in the responsibilities that both me and him are innocent from. So, to get a safety net, he will get sbk together with all those who are working in the lab to get face to face for a lab meeting.

I don’t mind getting that lab meeting, but I just have a superb strong feeling that the meeting would not have any outcome, and yet, the problems still sticks.

This is soooooooooo s*cks. I could not believe that SBK and C. C will get me n WC involved with such a problematic non-earth, extra-terrestrial thingy!!!

Days with alien, epi2

Ok….here is the continuing story of this specific alien.

Oh, forgot to mention, this alien have a mentor that also behave alien-ly…how? I will try to type it out, if not in this blog, will be in the coming blog.

Some day, in this week, the alien specifically asked Stc’s pHD-WC to teach her how to cast a EtBr pre-stained gel…In fact, SBK just too damn lame to bother for teaching her how to cast post-stain gel, maybe (my assupmtion). So, SBK asked stc’s students, meaning us, whether we do pre-staining, and how…and so on so forth. After such questioning, SBK said that his hons stud will need to do pre-stained gel, since he have not yet found suitable place to store the EtBr solution to do the post-staining. Hence, he mentioned that he might need our help to teach the stud.

Who knows….that this hons stud is definitely an alien. I don’t know if  she ever attended any of the MBB or Gen classes and labs. The damn classical incident happened to WC, when she was in the lab to teach this alien how to cast a pre-stained gel.

Initially, she asked the alien to weight the agarose powder and then measure 30mL of 1X Tae to mix well, before boiling it. So, where is the 1x Tae? Wc asked the alien to prepare 1x Tae her own, jst dilute it from the 10X. And do you know what this alien did? Measure 3mL 10X Tae and want to top up to 30mL to make a 1x Tae. Alright, it was not wrong, but it need to cast a lot of gel in the future, right? Might as well it prepare more 1x Tae as in a 1L bottle.

Then, when boiling the mixture, WC ask this alien to boil it until boiling, but it needed at least 1 minute to get it boiled, and after 1 minute, check it to make sure it fully dissolved and then can wait awhile to pipette in the EtBr. IT put the flask inside the microwave, 20 seconds later, opened the microwave door to check…OMG! People had mentioned to her, AT LEAST 1 MINUTE, and she take it out after 20 second to check if it’s boiling! And after much frustration informing IT, there we go, the adding and mixing of EtBr in the flask. WC adviced her, not to swirl so vigorously, as it will form bubles and will affect the migration later, as well as will caused not nice gel image. Then this alien when mixing, needed like forever to mix, WC asked her enough of the mixing and just pour the liquid. Who knows, the EtBr still not yet mixed and stained at the wall. Well, if the EtBr still stained at the wall, what the hell IT was mixing when so vigourously shaking it, and what the f*ck IT was doing to mix it in such a long duration of time?

Here comes the best of the best. After the gel solidified, IT came by and asked WC, how much buffer to pour in? So, WC nicely replied, just cover the gel (she was doing hyberdization that time, while answering IT). Then, again, this alien asked again, how much buffer to pour in? AGAIN, WC answered just cover the gel. So, this alien, pour the buffer…and asked WC to check if the buffer covered the gel. THE MOST SHOCKING MOMENT as in the buffer indeed just on top of the gel in the tank! There was no buffer in the gel tank but just ON TOP OF THE GEL!!! Helloooooo, even I am not from a molecular or biotech background last time, I also knew that the buffer have to flood the gel as in just nice to cover the gel to run gel electrophoresis!

Then when that was the time to pipette in the product. This alien asked how much loading dye to pipette in? WC just asked her to calculate as in, we don’t know how much product she wanna load in and she asked this alien a question…which was “What’s the purpose of loading dye?” Well, this alien answer in such an arrogant way that the loading dye is to migrate the DNA! Wow!!! Loading dye is to migrate the DNA, so, why we need to run gel electrophoresis?

When this is just a part of the happening in the lab….and there are more to come….

Do, stay tune for more reports from me, and more interesting and classical action.

Well, before I ended this blog for this moment, I would like to mention that this alien’s mentor isn’t that innocent at all. Why? Allow me to continue in the coming blog….
