Good Laboratory Practice

Unbelievable, it's already the 8th week of my practical for final year project! It seems like it was just yesterday when I first met my task supervisor, first day having fun in the lab playing with chemicals, oh dear...so many things have happened and solved and settled and now many more things are coming to be done, ENDLESS work to do man! But, I have a feeling that I will be reluctant to leave the lab on the last day, the lab is like my 2nd home now, I've been spending most of my time there synthesising and taking care of my beloved chemical compounds, we have formed strong chemistry bonds already...I will cherish my last week in the lab =)

Anyway, ever do something this stupid in the lab before? If you havnt, then learn from my mistake.

One fine day, I was tyring to clean my lab specs and thinking that using some solution would be a good idea, so then I grabbed the ACETONE which is used to clean glassware, splashing it onto my specs and started rubbing it with a piece of tissue. As a consequences...


the more I rubbed, the blurrer the lens become, the more scratches on my specs! I was wondering what the hell was happening, so I showed it to my task supervisor and I gained a round of laughter from my colleagues, Oh yes I wasnt the first dummie who have done that, at least someone used to be as stupid as me (doesnt imply anyone one here :P) Unfortunately, it was my only lab specs that can fit nicely onto my 'big skull' and doesnt put any pressure on the side of my head, I just murdered it under my hand on the second day I brought it to the lab -____- Anyway, I was lucky enough that my task supervisor was ordering a new one for me, a brand new one which I could choose from a nice catelogue! *touching*

So, Good Laboratory Practice 1: Do not wash plastic-made items with ACETONE, use METHANOL instead.


It was so clean and clear back in Malaysia Campus, huge contrast to the terrible state now.

stay tune for GLP chapter 2 ^.^

Sainsbury's inconvenience

well I'm not saying that I don't like shopping in Sainsbury's, in fact I prefers to get my groceries in Sainbury's more than any other super markets such as Tesco or Asda. It is only the Beeston Sainsbury's that brings this problem to me, no where else.

Ever wonder why would someone need to sneak in a supermarket and shopping in a way as if you are a thief? let me tell you my real experience, its so laughable. It's been nearly a year I have to choose particular days to go to Sains, definitely not Tues Wedn Thurs Fri and Sat, as these days D is in store. Sat is permittable as D only works till 2pm. And I thought I would never ever bump into him anymore as I'm giving my highest alert to 'screen through targets' while I'm in the store.

One fine day last 2 weeks, it was a Fri. I had no choice but to get something from Sains. Here comes the one in a thousand million chance to meet him again ever since our last meet a year ago. I was so super duple lucky that I realised his existence before he notice me. It happened when I went into an aisle with spaghetti sauce, I was browsing through the ranges of sauces trying to look for some promotional items, and I was there for quite some time probably about 5minutes contemplating on which one is better. Then, I turned around and saw a familiar shadow...a shadow of an old man squatting down facing backwards to me, arranging some can foods on the shelves. My first instinct told me that he was D!!! I ran, to be more accurate, I walked as quick as I could and as quiet as I could to the end of the aisle and started stalking him from the side of the rack, PHEWWWWWW big relief that he didnt see me at all! I had a feeling to leave Sains straight away but I realised that I still have few other things to buy, so in the end I spent another terrific 30minutes in Sains looking around like I'm about to make a crime and get only stuffs that I want without spending much time on second thoughts, it was a memorable day to me.

Ever wonder why I never go over and say HI to this old friend? A week ago, he sent me this email:

Hi,last night I eliminated you from my list of friends in both Windows Messenger & Facebook. For6 months I think of you,waiting to see you,thinking we are friends. Always you say you so busy;I only have to look in Facebook to see it is more than just studies keeping you busy,but no time for me !
I am sorry,upset,& unhappy but now try to forget you. Soon you will go home,think we never again see each other. I am not a stupid,unkind person,just think that you never intend to see me. Good bye!

ok now still havnt got an idea why would I ran away from him? It's actually started when I knew this Sainbury's staff (nicknamed: D) in the beginning of year 3, me and my roommate shopped at Sains almost every weekend to stock up our food supplies and we (or should say I) often bumped into this 'friendly' D and sometimes have a little chat and I was just being polite as he's been so friendly to people.

One day, he gave me his email address and asked me to send him emails n keep in touch, I didnt bother lots because I thought we would still be able to see each other in Sains regardless of emailing him or not. So, that small piece of paper was eventually being rested on my table for quite sometimes. Then one fine day again, he mentioned about the email that he has given me and questioned me why havnt I added him, he is using facebook so I thought maybe its not harmful to add him on FB since its just a click away and so I did. I didnt bother much because since another coursemate of mine has added him later too. He was lovely when one day he found out from our conversation that my birthday was just over, he quickly gave me a birthday card out of no where when I was paying out at the till. That really surprised me thou. He also gave me books for travel in Wales when he found out that I would like to go to beach during summer, it was so kind of him. He told me things about Liverpool and I learnt some british cultures from him too.

I began to feel the annoyance when he started sending emails with lots of disgusted words (maybe for some people, it is a way of being friendly, but for me it means overfriendly), and attached pictures of him taken with other chinese ladies/girls, this makes me feel that he is some kind of chinese woman pervert and specialised in targeting chinese students from University of Nottingham, that thought thrills me whenever I read his email. The thing is, I seldom reply him if I did, it would have been just once of twice, because I really cannot accept making a friend who has 'special habits'.

This was one of his friendly email:
Hi,just let you know I am still alive !How are you,do you survive both the exams & the unusual warm weather which today has again reverted back to normal U.K weather !Yesterday I said good bye to my Chinese friend,going home for 4 weeks holiday,Also good bye to Vietnam friend,this time so sad as she goes home after 6 years here,so we both think never see each other again,'tho maybe she returns for graduation but most unlikely.Now,only 2 weeks since I saw you,it seems much longer ! Will I se you again,I very much hope so! Also I ask you to be Facebook friend Can I also expect you accept me as another friend !!When will you leave for your placement,I know I will miss you during this time.Also I go to France at end of this month,so good to get away from the crazy stores,why am I still working there,it It is me who is the crazy one ! But then I would not have met you so something good comes with working there !
So many things I want to talk with you so until next time,can we be friends,take care,no worries,only sunshine & smiles every day, best wishes,David He even sent me his photos in France after coming back from the trip, but I did not reply :P

And more emails:
Hi,long time no see,so how is life? Where are you these days,I keep looking for you coming to the stores. So many Asian friends going home,some I never see again,friends I have known some more than 3 years,one Iknow for 6 years !! All this make it a sad time,some time I think why should I make friends or try to help,they all leave eventually.Is this what happens between you & me !!Again I have not been 100% fit,this time with eye infection,maybe 'cos only one eye prevents me from seeing you !!

Hi,Kawan! Apa khabar ?Saya amat merindui anda ! No more,so poor !Some pics.from Bulgaria.I look for you but where are you !And yes,I have missed you,more than I realise ! Let me know if & when you get free time,TX me 079834834,I do want see you again !If only to help increase M'sian words ! Take care forever friends & keep in touch.I ask you be friend on Windows messenger,is o.k ?

Saya amat meriinduianda! No more,that is why I want you teach me more M'asian !!
But more than teach me,I want to see you again,Summer is ending & so log since I last saw you in the stores. I am hoping you get some free time soon ?I don't know why ,when I write message to you on Windows Messenger,it is not sent to you?Also have a new mobile,same number,07983483468, TX me to talk !!!In other words,I am always thinking of you,so take it easy,I really have missed you !!!! Can we forever be friends, best wishes,wait to hear from you via email,Messenger or mobile Best wishes,from David Jumpa lagi,salamat jalan !!

And many more MSN messages which I didnt save in history, I read it out to my roommate sometimes and she felt disgusted too. Not intending to make you vomit here so as a summary, he is acting really strange and that's the reason why I have to avoid seeing him. Now that he seems to have got mad on me being so cold and no reponse at all, it's even a good outcome for myself.

Today, I went to Sains on Sat morning. Another terrifying moment in Sains happened when I was pushing a trolley walking along the corridor, he was walking towards me. I sincerely have to say a big THANKS to my roommate for calling me to tell me that he is in Sains and asked me to be extra alert. As I was behaving like a thief again, utilising a 'high screening throughput' system at all timein store. I spotted he was just right infront of me and without hesitation, I drived my trolley into an aisle in one milli seconds. hahahhaha PHEWWWWW again it was another memorable day for me.

I hope I will never have to do this the third time, will I?

Europe we're coming!!!

YEAAHHHH it will definitely be the best trip ever, because of the accompany of my beloved family as well as this...


Our official DSLR of the europe trip

All credits to my sis and bro who have utilised their professional analysis and photography experience as well as their fever and enthusiasm towards being a part-time photographer, here she is! The NIKON D3000 tada~

Eventhou I have had not enough sleep recently due to someone, after a soothing chat with my family and KKL, I feel recharged again! I guess this is the power of LOVE we've been talking about =)

I've got a feeling...

woo hoo...tat this sem's gonna b a good good sem, tat the work's gonna b a fun fun work...^.^ I love my final year project and my teammates so so much!!!

but sadly...mummy sed i must give up getting british driving licence in this final semester of my uni life T.T

You've won a bid on ebay!

As a result of destressing during the exam period...this is the consequences...


damn it, i love this winter boots soo much! wat a great coincidence to have won it by surprise teheheh


soo comfy and furry...pls snow again pls! bcos i wan u to be not only fashionable but practicable as well >.<

okie...im going to stay away from my lappie for awhile, its not healthy, at least for my results :P

its another year...but this time is diff!

haihz...another 12hours from now, you can tear off the last page of your traditional chinese lunar calendar (awww...i miss doing that, hope this kind of calendar wont go extinct), or if you are a moderner, just throw away your calendar poster/calendar book/calendar card or whatever you use to check dates, but obviously not your handphone/ ipod touch/laptop because they will update automatically eventhough you do not wish to, sadly that TIME is always out of our control, and when you hear tic toc tic toc tic tic toc toc ding ding dang dang dong dong...that means its time to fix your clock!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAA

I have a whole list of tasks to be accomplished in year 2010. Most of them are compulsory thou. I wonder how many I will have achieved when I look back to this post a year later. Here it goes the list...

1. Get a British Driving Licence
2. Renew my passport in London
3. Buy a new phone, preferably iphone 3GS ( how I wish my phone to die now :P lets curse it!!! heheheh)
4. Apply for visa, and please get approved please
5. Europe trip with family (definitely the most anticipating)
6. Have the most important dinner with KKL's family (omg this kinda frighten me >.<)
7. Confess to my family about...you know...(omg this also as scarry)
8. Buy a car? (hmmm...abit mission impossible in short term but I love driving!)
9. Go to a place with blue sea blue sky with KKL (so romantic rite!)
10.Find my accommodation in Liverpool before May ( unfortunately this has to be done before I can enjoy anything listed above T.T)
11.I think should let the list stop here if not it'll be infinity hehehehhe

All right, I think nearly 90% of the tasks are achievable, I just need to plan my time well so that there will be no clashing.

Anyway, recently I'm so happy because I bought myself a new glasses~~~ but not many people would have noticed it because I chose a similar frame design as my old one ( and nowadays rarely meet people because everyone is fighting hard for exam now!), they only differ in colours, my current one is blondish brown, hehehe it certainly makes me look more professional like a prof pharmacist, if not a smarter look pharmacy student :P

The second thing that made my day was the gift from KKL, it arrives just at the right time when I need these things, just like a winter warmer (eventhough I've had loads of them but they are unique!)...warms my body and my heart as well! muaksss love you lots yea XOXO p/s: sorry if you have not received my parcel, I think there are seriously some problems going on with Royalmail, I hate it ever since summer because it delayed my Boots offer letter for 5 weeks due to the recurrent postal strike issues, damn it, what now? Anyway, my friend who is a GOD in eBay said I can claim it back hehehhee no worries~~~

And the Boxing Day SALES was indeed getting more and more crazy. It was a productive day for me, its always good to reward yourself when its neccessary hehehhe (excuses excuses excuses...) BUT, I really worked hard this year okay! in terms of studies and part-time job, so I deserved it! ngiak ngiak

Did I ever mention about a pot of flowers given by my friend? It's a British Potmum, it sounds weird but this is the name of the plant. I would like to just make a quick summary of the life of this little pot of flowers (more accurately plant as there are no more flowers blooming now, its winter!!!) Its growing healthily under my care...I wish it survives the tremendously cold winter and brings me some flowers when the heavenly springs arrives!


During summer, my friend has really caught me by surprise when I saw it sitting on the study table, very touched lor...


A little note from him, what a reason to give me the flowers, its never his responsibility to the death of my first pot of chrysanthemum!


When autumn came, the yellow colour faded! well, it kinda mutated to my first pot of chrysanthemum which was white flowers hehehhe


Winter time, the last but not least flower was trying her best to show her last smile to her master, I hope she says to me: 'byebye and we shall see again in spring!'


Well, this was my beloved first pot of white chrysanthemum, the time when she was vigorously blooming in the peak of spring. can you see the diff?!! nothing can replace her status in my heart LOL Im just kidding.

Thanks for giving me such a nice pot of flowers really, I'm taking good care of her now, watering her on every sunny days. I wish she will be with me as long as I've never given up on her ^.^

overflow with LOVE

omg, I can't believe its almost the end of the semester, I've been so busy and everything just past by in a blink of an eye, from solving one assignment to another, from attending one lecture to another, from going to work one day after another, from joining one trip to another...its been really an eventful semester! I'm feeling contented and satisfied now, and probably its time to take a proper rest and focus on my studies which should always be my main intention in university life, right?

Just recently, I told a friend about the story of QQ, and obviously I still have not lost my feeling towards him, because I still miss him very much and was trying my best to hide my sadness whilst I was telling the lengthy and dramatic story. Its so amazing that a pet can leave such a big impact in one's life, I certainly have no idea how long is it going to take for me to stop thinking about him but definitely I will not forget QQ as long as I am living in this world. He is such a lovely pet, all because he is very loyal and sincere...no matter to whom, he is always the lively and cheerful pet that everyone loves, he does not lie or act, he is very natural which is the characteristic that can hardly find in human beings anymore. Nowadays, people always think and process data in a complicated way and show it in a way that they think its right, but very often, the feedback arent always good. well anyway...all I want to say is, QQ is just like a perfect human's friend which does not exist in reality so he turned into a dog and brought happiness to my family, and then leaving us with a feeling of sorrow but a sweet unforgettable memory. Deep down in our hearts, we know that QQ understand how we precious him and we are still waiting for his return even though it seems to be impossible. Hope drives me through...I wish QQ to live a happy life wherever he is now T.T we love you forever


going to the beach with QQ, knowing that he is leaving soon, the feeling is hard, separation is cruel...

Also, would like to thank kitesman again for showing me the existence of love, the non-selfish care and support. All I want is you right now to be beside me but unfortunately this is the only thing that I can not have...why is the world so unfair? How long I have to suffer to have something that everyone else has? Do I have a choice? Am I the one who make decision? How does a decision come to a conclusion? After some time, I realised that things are always not under your control even though you are supposed to be able to change something, its all because there are too many factors contributing to one outcome and it takes a longer time to consider and to make things happen. So, lets just see what the time can show us...feeling helpless but the continuous supply of LOVE keeps me going...


Miss our baby so much, when can I see him again? Is he kept in somewhere safe?

Another issue is, can someone suggest me the best way of announcing a relationship which has been hidden from parents for 4 years? Is there a proper way which reduces the blames to the least? tell me if you know
