stressed. im sitting in the library downstairs in the micro building and the other honour students are on the topic of... drum rolls... JOBS. LOOKING FOR JOBS. THE LACK OF JOBS. i'm not ready to go into the workforce yet... but at the same time i have no idea what i want to do next year... the year has crept by so so fast. the half way mark has long passed. to put an actual value on it, there is ONLY 10 weeks left in lab. i feel as though there is still much to do... ARGH. anfksdfsdnfsndf. venting on the key board. feels good. asdnsknfsndgkdfnhkdfngkngksnd. do i want to keep studying. and if so, what ? apparently the best way to approach this is to think about things in the long run. idfdfkdgsnsgnkdnggfgnkfgn blast.

so i have lived to tell the tale of my first solo adventure to asian town : footscray market...
i escaped without being trampled by the hordes of asian women and their trolleys and without losing my hearing, no thanks to the guys yelling out sale sale with a funny accent and random viet words.
as for the wonton noodle soup for which i was getting ingredients for, fail. apparently asian food doesn't taste normal without a good dose of salt or msg. lame...

in with the new and out with the old!
ooooh i do believe it was time for a change and frankly, it might have been just what i needed to get back into the blogging business!
a few weeks back, I brought myself to watch the movie twilight... it was very... interesting, for lack of a better word... and then that was that, i moved on and forgot about it... until I watched the movie daybreakers the other day, because the world really needs yet another movie about vampires... very interesting concept though (no sarcasm intended here) But back to my point, it just reminded me all about twilight again... 'Real' vampires incinerate or at the very least feel intense pain/burning when exposed to sunlight. this has always been the case. except for twilight... in this world, vampires sparkle when in sunlight... who would've thought?

random work related rant... white noise... boring read
just in case you missed that, this is a random rant (stress relief) about lab work so i would not recommend reading it... you have been warned... proceed at your own risk??
sooooo... i should be spending my time typing up a grant application but instead i find myself here... the words seem to come so freely... yet with the other task i sit in front of my laptop for minutes on end starring at a blank page with a title on the top... the crazy busy period has begun and i find myself stressing about how much there is to do... upon realising how heavy the work load was for the coming two weeks, i decided to stay back in lab past 5 pm for a few days to give myself a head start... they (being the superiors who reign over the lab) have decided i should take on the task of closing up the gaps of a genome that has never been published before... this entails going through over 100 contigs are designing PCR reactions to join them, followed by just as many sequencing reactions... i do not look forward to this... but i figured if I go through and finish designing the oligos, I will have at least a weeks break from this as the oligos have to be ordered and delivered. which gives me more time to do as much of my other lab work as possible in the next week so that i can present more results in the THIRTY MINUTE INDIVIDUAL ORAL PRESENTATION, right? wrong.. they decided to pile some more work for me to do instead... yay... =.= did i mention i also have a grant application due this week...

Dear mister idiot driver,
First of all I would like to say thank you for driving at 15km below the speed limit. And while you driving at 35km on a main road is your own prerogative, don't make the rest of us follow suit. Which leads me to my next thank you. Thank you for driving in the MIDDLE of a two lane road giving the rest of us no option but to trail behind at a glacial pace.
Idiot.
