A Strange, Weird, Funny Encounter

Another workless day again. Felt so useless these 2 days, got nothing to do. SIGH!!!! Why??? My new "pet" has arrived but the person, simply missed out the consumables which I need, so I could not do any work at all. It's not productive!!! Haha...pretty funny, think my boss felt that I have been under quite a bit of stress last week, he want me to take things easy these 2 days. But, but... I have finished writing my labbook, clearing the mess on my desk, wiping my workspace, bumming around... Well, really really bored...soooOOOO bored you know?? I'm really a born workaholic. I can't stop working! My colleagues are so envy of me, but I really don't enjoy a minute of it. It's making me feel so useless and worthless...sigh...
Nothing else better to do, I started working on my presentation slides. Hey, my presentation is still a month away, so everyone's laughing at my kiasuness again...Wahaha...
Had a pretty funny encounter just now, as I was on my way home from tuition. As I was walking out of the carpark of my student's condo, a cabbie offered to give me a life. Quite friendly of him to offer, but i turned him down. Well well, think i was pretty paranoid, no idea of his intention, and since I was just a street away from my home, I could jolly well walk home. Come to think about it, it's so strange, rite??

In a Month's Time...

Wah, today my partner did her project presentation. It was fabulous. She spoke with much confidence and grace and I'm really impressed. Hmmm...in a month's time, it's gonna be my turn. Beginning to feel stressed and nervous already. Hope I'll be just as good, if not better... ;-)
Just worried that I'll freak out or get shoot with tough questions... Gotta start working on it real soon...
Sigh, I've been put into the organising committee for this year's teambuilding. Don't know whether I should be happy or worried. With this additional task (besides my hectic work project), I wonder when can I take a good long break... Haiz...
Anyway, it's really not an easy task to organise a teambuilding programme for the company. With such a wide age range, it's difficult to organise activities which suit all age groups as well as different interest groups. The present plan is to go on some OBS sort of adventure programme in Malaysia. Well, I kinda rejoiced at the idea since I've never been on any OBS programs. But sadly, I've received many bad comments and criticism from fellow colleagues who kinda jeered at the idea. Sigh, most of them not spontaneous about it, complained about the long bus ride of 8 hours, which I really understand. But, personally, I look forward to such travels, with my colleagues, the fun! But guess not everyone thinks the same way as I do as 1. It's my 1st job, so it's the 1st time I'm going on such company retreat. 2. I'm the youngest in my unit, so I supposed I'm the most energetic! Ahahaha.... 3. I'm 1 of the organisers, so I gotta be "on"?!?! 4. I love such adventure stuff.
Ok, fine, I should not be so selfish, I should think about and consider how the rest feels about it too. I don't want everyone to be dragging themselves there, when we are supposed to let our hair down and have fun. I'll gather their feedback. Well, it' already tough to organise activities for same age group, like my experience back in those days as harmo president... sigh...
It's even tougher now I know. Just hope we wont end up in Sentosa or Pulau Ubin...ahaha....

Chemistry is just like Cooking....

"Chemistry is just like cooking. With the right ingredients and conditions, you will be able to make fantastic dishes. The same applies to life!!!"
Hmmm.... the above line is by.... ME, but it's in fact quoted from a really fantastic Chemist whom I've met today. Wow, he's really a very experienced chemist, even a missing methyl group can't escape from his eyes. I'm really very impressed with him. He's impressed with our performance & hardwork thus far, kept saying that we've been "cooking" hard...Hehehe...
Well, I really like the lines and I've always associate chemical reactions with cooking, just like him wahaha... Guess great minds think alike, maybe I've the potential to be such a fantastic chemist like him too!! Bluahh....
But I really think that the same principle applies in life. With the right things happening or meeting the right people at the appropriate time, things gonna work great, don't they? And for a relationship too... But I've yet found my ingredients and ideal conditions.... Haha.... ;p
