Veins

Saw that? Veins..lotsa up and coming veins in the process of bulging out on my poor feet.
By the way, the dotty dotty thingy my feet are resting on is the stool.
And how come the shape of my feet looks so ugly in the picture.
Anyway, yup I was trying to talk about veins. Bulging veins that will make my feet look ugly. Ugly veins that will prevent me from wearing any nice footwear that flaunts the feet.
I'm on my feet practically the whole day while at work. And go home with achey feet. Even the OSIM I-Squeeze doesn't really work on soothing my feet much.

I have a pair of veiny, exhausted, strained, achey feet.
If I'm not careful I might probably have spider veins or varicose veins. Elevate the legs, they say. So I've recently been trying to remember to elevate my legs after a day's up-on-your-feet.

Anymore suggestions?

Red font and courses

Font is red because..I also have no idea why I chose to use red. Oh well.

Good news. I can knock off on time on Friday cos' the journal club was shifted to 12pm. But the bad thing is that they organised a gathering lunch to go with it. So that means I gotta sit through lunch on Friday with my lab people. Nooo I'm definitely not anti-social. But I'm really not the type to make extra efforts to communicate leisurely with people whom are of different frequencies from me. I'm pretty much okay as long as there is no hostility between me and them. As long as the working relationship is fine then I'm rather okay that there is no leisure communication between us.

So what are the differences between them and me?
Just to list a few..
1. They love korean dramas and I dont.
2. They love Japanese dramas and I dont.
3. They love taiwanese dramas and I dont.
4. They are crazy about pia-ing VCDs in their freetime and I dont.
5. Jokes that they find funny, I dont.
6. Jokes that I find funny, they dont.
7. Topics that they find interesting, I dont.
8. Topics that I find interesting, they dont.
9. They are all doing their PHDs while I'm not.
10. They have crystal clear ideas of whats going on during journal club while I'm hazy most of the time.
11. Things that seem normal to me doesn't appear to be normal to them.
12. Things that seem normal to them doesnt appear to be normal to me.
10. We have different perceptions.
11. blah blah..blah blah..etc, etc

To sum up in a sentence, we are of different frequencies.

Random Thoughts

Yawnnnnnnnnn!

Ok let me see..18 more days to being on leave (excluding weekends)..and minus (1 + 0.5 + 0.5) = 2 days since I'll be on course. That leaves 16 more days to being on leave on the 23rd dec. Counting down, counting down.

I'm always pao-suah-ing and pao-hai-ing at work. Still got alot of things to figure out.

Got this email which suggested that Singapore and M'sia will be experiencing Tsunamis either Dec 2005 or Jan 2006. Supposed to be predicted by this guy who predicted the previous Tsunamis which came true. Well we'll wait and see whether its true.

Why do nails have to grow so fast? Its so marfan to keep on cutting nails every now and then. What a time-wasting and unmeaningful activity.

Bird flu pandemic. Will be getting free thermometers from my dept again soon. They are preparing to order and issue thermometers.

I think I have like a permanent flu. My throat is itchy every single day and my nose is permanently blocked and runny.

I think my entry is damn disorganised. Sudden jumps from 1 topic to the next.

Guess what. Coming Friday is the journal club meeting again. %$%^#@#@@!!. And it had to be Friday from 4 to 6pm. What hell. I'm supposed to be able to knock off every friday at 5pm onez lorz. So instead of knocking off at 5, I'll be sitting inside the meeting room and kenna-ing lethal arrows from all directions.

Harry Potter looks kinda Frodo-ish now. Maybe its his hair. Maybe its his face shape. Looks longer than what it was used to. And his intellectual aura seems to be decreasing with age.

I think the new Cafe Nova advertisement is crap. The bimboic michelle chia singing the kiddy twinkle twinkle little star song, and looking as if she really enjoys the coffee. Her voice is crap. And I think she should do something about her hair. Its way too big. Please. I wonder which fricking genius came up with that advert idea. And which even-bigger genius accepted the idea.

Fri Sun Weds Thurs Tues Sat

As I said, Fridays are good days. They always are. Cos' weekends are cool things and weekends start right after friday ends. That makes fridays good days. Haa.

That means that Sundays are not good days. Since after Sundays come Mondays. And Mondays are big bad days. So that makes Sundays bad days. Ok lah. Probably I would say that not the whole Sunday is bad. Sunday mornings are good. Afternoon onwards it gradually gets worse.

And wednesdays are neutral days. Since they are halfway after a weekend and halfway to another weekend.

Thursdays are look-forward days. Cos' thursdays are right before Fridays and Fridays are good days since they are immediate neighbours of weekends.

Tuesdays? Tuesdays are zombie days. Cos' its not as hopeless as Mondays. And not as neutral as Wednesdays. Tuesdays are not totally in the dark zone, neither are they in the bright zone yet. So, Tuesdays are in the neutral zone but slightly skewed towards the dark zone.

Saturdays are the best days in a week. Cos' they are right after Fridays and right before Sunday mornings.

.....
Haa. Another one of my nonsensical blabberings.

Hic..Hic!

No I haven't slept yet. Supposed to sleep earlier tonight but gotta check out some maps first.

And I'm having hiccups again. Some people call it hiccoughs. For the 2nd time in the past 2 hours. Hiccups is amusing if it happens to other people but its irritating if it happens to myself. Hic, Hic..

Normally what do you people do when you are having hiccups? Some people sip warm water, some people hold their breath. I've read somewhere that a sudden scare will stop the hiccup immediately. First Aid books suggest breathing into a paperbag until the hiccups stop. Haha. I've looked at Wikipedia and they suggested several ways of controlling hiccups. Take a look, try it out and let me know which one works best: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccups

Haha. After writing the paragraph about hiccups, my hiccups stopped. Great.

Suddenly have a craving for pasta. Those creamy kind.

And Goreng Pisangs. From Bedok Central.

And science canteen jap stall the salmon with the mayo. And the softshell crabs with the mayo.

Science canteen jap stall got nice mayo. Macdonalds' also got nice mayo. Ajisen got nice mayo. BK got ok mayos but need to pay for it. KFC got sucky mayos. Chinese restaurants and czechar stalls got nice mayos. NTUC got sell nice mayos. Kraft is not bad. But the jap brands in the squeeze bottles types are nicer.

I like mayonnaise alot. I eat yong tau foo at home with mayo. I also eat fried pomfret with mayo. I eat taukwa with mayo. I eat beansprouts with mayo. I must stop eating mayo if not I'll just balloon up and die from fatness.

I've got new skirts. Those whatever skirts you call them. Those cute skirts that are fat and rounded at the edges. I don't know how to describe. Me and puisan call them pompom skirts. Yay. Been eyeing those skirts since last month.

I've been trying to elevate my legs since I got home. I think I'll try to do it every night after I get home. Cos' I spend alot of time standing throughout the day at work. And this makes me prone to developing hell lot of ugly veins on my feet. Elevating the legs should have abit of help in preventing unsightly veins bah.

Ok! Really going to bed now.

Fridays are good days. They always are. Cos' weekends are cool things and weekends start right after friday ends. That makes fridays good days. Haa.

1 lian and 2 bengs

I'm watching the season finale of Lost as I'm writing this.

This morning on the train, there were 3 exceptionally attention-seeking people. 1 ah lian and 2 ah bengs. They were talking to one another in damn frickingly loud volumes even though they were just seated like just within 5 milimetres away from one another. The ah lian was wearing this black extra mini micro puny tubetop with flimsy low-class material. And extra mini micro puny denim shorts. And this sweater over her low-class tubetop. I was thinking, why would an ah lian like her bother to wear a sweater over her tubetop.

The 2 ah bengs. As usual, they wore flipflops. I've always wondered how the ah bengs managed to look so low class in flipflops lor. Flipflops are supposed to give a 'beachy' and slack look, not a low-class look. Probably their flipflops are cheapo stuffs. But then again, I don't think so. I've got friends wearing cheapo flipflops but they still look 'beachy' instead of low-class. I think its more of the way you carry yourself in that. And the behaviour of course.

The BEST thing was, one of the ah bengs actually took out his handphone and on his ultra-super-duper techno ringtones to FULL volume. And the 3 of them started enjoying the tones for the rest of their journey. I mean like, WAHLAU. Even got the techno Lao Shu Ai Da Mi song. And the that that..what's that called..the one that has to do with don't know what crazy frog. And still got some others that sounded really..those ultra techno kind.

What an unpeaceful train journey I had today. At first I was thinking how lucky I am to get on a train with available seats. And that I can have a peaceful nap till Buona Vista. Jeez. What luck. I've never managed to have a peaceful 'Journey to the West'. Journey to the west since I live in the East and I have to travel all the way to the west side

Suffered from Colitis for the past 2 few days. Colitis is inflammation of the Colon, in case some of you don't know. And colon is also called the large intestine, which is the part of the intestine from the cecum to the rectum. Check out an anatomy book if you don't know what cecum and rectum are. Today feels quite fine so far. I hope it stays this way.

Sleepy..Sleepy.

I bought moisturising hand cream just Guardian's just now. My hands really need some moisture boost. The powdered gloves in the lab is making my hands dry and rough. Not to mention that I wash my hands dont know how many times per day when working in the lab.

I've got like normal blood pressure but towards the low side. Which probably explains why I alway feel giddy or feel a tightening everytime I change my posture too fast. Or rather, just fast.

Dozing off. Struggling to stay awake to blog properly and to watch Lost.

TGIF!
I wanna start my precious beloved weekend early by waking up early on Saturday.

Dozing. Dozing.

I give up. Gonna go brush teeth, bathe and sleep liao.

Gdnite!

Abolish it

I took some pics today but hadn't had the time to load 'em out yet. Time has always been an irritating thing since the way I was born. I guess thats the way time is. It always passes damn fast when you want it to be slow. And passes damn freakingly slowly when you want it to be fast.

I hate the journal club. Its this torturous freakin' biweekly thingy that I have to go through during work. Everyone under boss will sit down together with her to discuss selected journals. Will always kenna arrowed to answer goddamn-questions-that-I-have-no-freakin-answers-to. And I forever have no explanations to the diagrams that are inside the journals. Its the journal club week again this week.

Drop it. Abolish it. Ban it. Curse it. To hell with it.

Oh I know I'm whining like some immature unhappy teenager tonight. But thats how unhappy I am with the irritating things.

I'm looking at the calendar. 33 more days to my off day (I took leave on 23rd Dec). Minus off the weekends, will be 24 more working days before my off day.

And minus off 2 days since I'll be on course for 2 days, it'll be 22 more working days.

And then I'll have a long weekend from 23rd Dec to 26 Dec.

Work on 27 Dec again to 28 Dec.

Then I'm on leave again on the 29 Dec and 30 Dec. Wosh. Another long weekend until 3rd Jan.

Brilliant. I love being on leave to bits.

Back to blog again

One thing about blogging is that, once you stop blogging for sometime, you don't feel like doing it anymore. But once you start blogging, you can't stop yourself. Or at least that's the way it is for me yea.

I need to buy new nice pants. Nice ones. Spotted some at ebase and I'm gonna get my hands on them soon. I really need new nice pants cos' I've outgrew my old ones. Outgrew as in horizontally. But its not quite right to say that I've grew fatter since my weight never change at all. Probably the fats just decided to redistribute themselves or something. I don't think I'll go for long pants. 3-quarter ones will be fine. Can wear to work. Can't wear my skirts cos they are kinda short so not suitable for work.

I work in a place that looks like a dumpster. Cramped and messy. Forever limited space. All day we go around bumping into stuffs cos there really really is limited space. Thank god we'll be shifting to another building next year.

The corridor

Supposedly the office. But food has recently been banned. Cos' someone spotted rat droppings inside, which means that there is probably a rat lurking around. Yuk.

Obviously this is one of the labs. Look at the mass of labcoats hanging there.

Things cluttered everywhere.

Well I think most research labs don't really look like the way that you guys see on tv. Probably the new ones look better bah.

I need a jab. I need a hepatitis B vaccination jab. My last one was like 5 or 6 years ago. I need money for the blood test and jab. I need to check whether the university wellness centre got cheaper rates. I need to fork out some money for one stupid jab. I need to take time off to go for the jab. Why don't they provide free jabs.

-----

I need to get more sleep. More sleep will be good for me. I need to sleep early if I wanna get more sleep. Soooo tired. Lack of beauty sleep. No wonder I'm always ugly. I'm sure I can sleep early IF there is no such thing called the internet.

Friend: Wah this morning very heavy rain, I kept hearing thunder in my sleep.

Me: Do you know why we always see lightning first before we hear thunder?

Friend: Because our eyes are infront of our ears.

Pathetic Pics

Long time since I last posted pics.
Feast your eyes on these pathetic pics bah:

Whats underneath??

Curry Maggi

Burpz.

So that was my supper.

----------

The Dancing biscuits I mentioned in the previous entry.

The Biscuit Band!

----------

Conclusion is that I 'm scared of heights.
Wasn't that sure until I attempted to snap shots from the top floor of the national library. I think I'm phobic of heights especially when the surroundings are all clear glass. Feels unsafe and threatening.

Took these 2 pics, as I faced the danger of being frightened to death by height.

The very nice bag

Wahhhh..its been really long since I last blogged.

OK I shan't talk about work cos' there's never enough space to type my complaints. And anyway, its no use complaining too much also. I'm sure everyone feels that working is so sian.

Went to TM with Puisan just now. Saw a very very extremely perfectly totally NICE BAG that I fell in love with at first sight. And it's selling at the discount of 30%..so it only costs about 19 bucks. I hope it'll still be around until christmas so Puisan can buy it for me as my christmas present. Then in return she wans a kappo monkey for her present. But I doubt the bag will be around until then lor..since its so nice and cheap. I'm gonna be sad.

I saw dancing Nabisco biscuits at the NTUC. So cute. Nabisco biscuits swaying and dancing while singing Christmas songs. Christmas..Christmas! Christmas is my favourite festival cos':
1. It gives me a really nice feeling.
2. There are crazy sales.
3. The shopping mood is extra high.
4. Usually its school holidays. (Boohoo..but not I'm no longer studying. But I swear to take leave near the christmas season so that I can have a longer jolly christmas.
3.

.. I actually dozed off while typing this entry.

I shall continue tomorrow. *Yawn* >_<
