YoHoHooO... My New BlogSkin

YoHoHooOO.... My new blog skin is up! This time round, I managed to get everything nicely set up in 2-3 hrs time. Wow!! Actually, I was lazy to do any major change to the code, furthermore, I'm a comp-IT idiot. But pretty satisfied with my new blog skin I have. Like the previous background music, so decided to retain it. It's such a nice song! Haha...& I managed to find the mp3, so now I can listen to it any time I want. Heehee~~

Had a good weekend, meeting up with friends, lazing around. Bought a pink Fila sling bag for my friend's bdae. Oh, I like it too! Though I prefer the yellow one, this bdae gal prefers pink colour. Haha... No idea why, think that pink seems to be the "in" colour now. So many friends having pink craze now. Wahaha...

Well, think I'm in a pretty good mood lately. Perhaps after weeks of emotional struggle and uncertainty over my job, and now, I see that everything is more or less settled, I feel more at ease and happier. Glad to receive my confirmation (at last!!). After nearly a year on this job, I would still say that I'm still happy and satisfied, both with the job and my colleagues. I defintely hope to achieve more in time to come!!

Decision Making

A decision-making day. Well, I got the weekend to think about it - to stay or go. But think I've already got an answer in mind. Just thinking over my long term goals and plans... HmM...

Ponder Ponder Ponder: Will I Still be a Research Chemist in a Few Years Time??

Yeah, today I was back to work. Getting sick was no fun - bored of the sleep-eat routine at home, can't go jogging or swimming. Sigh...Lonely... At least at work I'll get to move around, do things, and make myself feel useful.

Had a terrible ear block today, guess it's a result of my runny nose. I could barely hear well, so my colleagues gotta shout into my ears. Haha.. Nothing much to do today, my boss seemed busy at his desk. He looked quite haggard too, have not seen him for the past 4 days, and he seemed to have aged tremendously! Aha, he didn't shave again. Maybe my absence was the cause of it, coz his work piling up. OOpz..

Today's lunch topic was "Our Future". Sounds like a primary school english essay topic. But no, no... It's definitely not. My colleagues talked about how bad it is for women like us (well, I feel that I'm still a gal thou...wahaha) to work as organic chemist. Yes, I do agree that it's a high risk job. High risk, be it our safety or our health. That's definitely a long-term concerns. Working in this line for 10, 20 years is bad for sure. Thou many safety measures have been in place, there's no 100% safety or protection. Sigh... But I would say, as til now, I enjoy what I am doing. I dunno how long this will continue... I often question myself, "So what's next on my life plan?" I have many dreams and plans, but I have reservations as to how far I would go and how many of my dreams and plans I can fulfil.

My fellow colleague hope to move over to admin work in a few years time. Guess then, she'll be married with kids already. Hehehe... Many think that it's not good for women to stay in chemical line for too long... But I don't seem to have much plan to move over to other lines. Lost sheep now.I start to ponder over what my colleagues said.. So what will I be doing few years down the road??

My 1st & Only MC for the Past 1 Year

Was having a cough, flu & fever. My doctor granted me a 1 day MC. Wahaha... slept for the whole day, no Monday blue this week. But, my clean record of zero MC for the past 1 year is now stained... ;-(

On Leave or MC??

Yeah, I'm on leave today! So glad that at last I'm on leave again. But, on second thought, I could have gotten an MC instead, down with flu & cough now... Haiz,what a waste!

Anyway, made plans to go cycling with my sis but this 4ever-lazy-gal said wanna go shopping now. And the amount of time she takes to get herself prepared for the ECP cycle...sigh... from a sunny morning to a dark, cloudy afternoon. Cannot stand it...sigh...Our character going way apart as we grow...

Well, yesterday was a pretty good day, happy coz I got quite a number of compounds to submit for testing. Haha...at last! But sometimes felt that we RAs are just like surrogate mothers, "give birth" to the compounds, and the very moment they are "borned", our boss grabbed it away from us and we have not much access as to what happen to them after that. Haha...sounds pretty bad, as if we are just the production operators...

Yesterday had a great time laughing at my boss (IM SO BAD!!!!). Haha...why? Coz the equipment which he had so much faith in screwed up & really pissed him off. I saw his compound going down the drain... Quite bad,really...Sigh... That's why I refused to use the equipment regardless of how he persuaded me. In this case, I'm smarter than him...Ahhaa

I always feared him coming to talk to me either before lunch hour or before knocking off, he likes doing that! Yesterday he came to me when I wanted to go off again. Sigh... I got to run for my tuition. Sigh, saw him walking towards me when I was drinking water, and ended up wetting my blouse and he laughed like mad. Yupz, funny, told him that my mouth is too small, that's why.. Haha.. Well, I always got problem drinking water from my bottle properly... Why??? Quite embarrassing to be walking around in my wet blouse... Haha...

Alrite, going out soon. Hope it won't take me another month long before I blog again. Cheerioz~~
