The "skin bubble family"

Sigh....3 bubbles in 3 days. What "bubblish" days, 3 bubbles in 3 days on 2 different occasion. 1st bubble was obtain on monday night. 2nd and 3rd was a "free gift" from cooking cannelloni stuffed with ricotta and spinach -_-

So, in total I have a happy family of 3 bubbles--papa, mama and baby bubble.

Papa Bubble (on left calf): is overly obese and would sometimes loves to ooze out liquid after a hot shower.

Mama Bubble (on right 3rd knuckle): is medium in size.
Baby Bubble (on left 3rs knuckle): is small in size.

PAIN!!!!!!!

It's been such an agonizing day with my left calf. The story starts this morning, when I woke up from my lovely sleep, I felt pain on my left calf. So, I was thinking back what happened the night before and I remembered that Mr.Strawberry Head accidently steped on my leg yesterday night due to accident. Then, I was like "Oh, it must be bruised now.". I then, as per usual lazy around my bed without thinking about it much but the pain's still there and getting stronger and stronger. I think it's because now that I am concious about my sore leg. Finally, I got up and look at my left calf, my reaction was " OH MY GOD...WHAT THE.....". This dramatic expression was used because my sore leg is showing a bubble *swollen skin: wrap with liquid*. In scientific terms, it means that all my CD4 cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, WBC, palletes......all kinds of things that arrises from TCL responses was there and caused odema. FREAKING painful :'(.

For the whole of the day, I was tricking my mind to think "it's not painful, it's not painful, it's not painful" but sometimes the mind decides to act on it's on accord to thinkg "it's so darn painful". Sigh.....! I just hope that by placing ice packs around my sore area tonight will reduce the soreness. Any one knows any cure? I searched on google and it says "there's not cure for odema.... -__-".

Ah well.....just have to be extra cautious from now onwards to not hurt it further! I will add a picture later which is in Miss. Nanas's camera...it's so BIG!!

Hard Earned Acknowledgement

As mentioned in the previous post, today's my last day of work in the Familial Cancer Department. After a whole day of eye-tearing DNA sequence analysis, I was called in to talk to my supervisor. I was damn scared when I heard she wanted to talk to me in person--alone!! *how can you not freak out not knowing that what's gonna be told.....shurgs*

Anyway, she told me that she was very pleased with my performance for the past month and I've kept up with her expectations. At that moment, I was like "thank god..or buddha" *my fingers were intertwined with each other keeping themselves busy----I too noticed that my supervisor saw that I was heaps scared >.<*. She then told me that if I need a future reference, she's happy to be on my good books......YIPEE......after all the effort and hard work I've put into my job *reading DNA till I cry....pipette stuffs till my fingers sore and sometimes tore gloves*, I earned her acknowledgement. Not that I have been waiting for her acknowledgement, it's actually a bonus...BIG BONUS...better than extra money!!! I can create a prettier resume now ^.^v

After talking to her, I seriously can say that....we should always always give in our best, work your arses out.. and you will succeed in whatever you do. That's what our parents and teachers USED to teach us...but this is the 1st time I felt it working in a society!

Just getting out of the topic, POH and ANDRE *2 SA fellas* are competing in MasrterChef. But, why why why is Sam still in there? I don't understand....grrrr..! What a "lucky" guy@.@

Okay...gotta go! Time to rest and work with flu samples tomorrow. I hope there won't be more than 90 cause it takes a very long time to prep. *sitting in the PC3 lab -isolation- for 3 hours is not fun.....but don't get me wrong, I love my job v^.^v

Note: I won't be as careless as him.....I wear a mask and I double glove myself.....most importantly I have sufficient sleep...kekeke *wink*

Back to "square one"

How should I start this blog.

Let me justify my title then. I started blogging back in the High School years. However, I've never been able to keep it up *unlike some of my friends-----embarrassed*. I started off with blogspot, then with msnlive and now BACK to blogger. For some unknown reason, these days I have heaps of things to pile onto the blog and I seriously don't feel like doing it on msn.live, so I AM BACK Blogspot.

I don't think I should blabber things that have passed. However, tomorrow is the last day I am working in the Familial Cancer Department. I will definately missed my colleagues, they have been really nice to me. They helped me in many ways to get used working in the new environment. These people are highly organized. I learnt heaps of things from them in terms of lab techniques as well as mental training to work as a team!

I WILL BE BACK GUYS..........*will apply for Cassie's position for a year when she's off maternity leave....fingers crossed hard and waiting for the application to come online!!*

I think I shall start writing "Thank You" cards tonight!



Signing off now! -wrote this blog in the mist of reading DNA sequences..^.^- (that's what it looks like......eyes tearing)
