Make-up for Lappie

My first notebook was about 3 years ago, which dad bought me before I entered university.

Without it, I might not be surviving outstation. It's my best entertainment source, from music, dramas to news, sports and entertainment shows! Of course, not forgetting it helps me in my portfolios, lab reports, PBL notes, proposal and now thesis. After all these years, this is how it looks like now........

Hmm... the paint is fading at the palmrest area... and also the cover.... (Yeah I know it looks like being abused by me) I admit that when i get frustrated or too excited when playing a game online, I will just smash it, pretty hard =.="

Anyway, despite the ugly appearance, it can still function properly, at least I'm still satisfy with the performance. Vincent's laptop at last broke down and he bought a new DELL. It's brand new & attractive with superb specs. The most important is it's cheaper than mine! Okay fine... I'm not going to jealous. So when we're shopping in the computer hardware shop in lowyat, I came across with the newly released product- laptop skin (it might be out there quite some time, but i only know till now). It's pretty convenient to apply to your lappie and costs 10 bucks only. So I said: why not give it a try? and here it is........

and yeah... this is the make-up for my lappie. Hope it likes the brand new look :)

Tips: Do not buy transparent one. It's really hard to apply if you're not skillfull enough. Bubbles are everywhere. Solid will be better & it's only recommended if your lappie is really old and awful. I definitely will not stick thing like tat if my laptop is brand new like Vincent's one.

The Proposal

Don't be scared! I'm not talking about my research thing of proposal this time. It's the recent shown love romance comedy- THE PROPOSAL. Though it'd been showing for quite some time, I only got to watch it yesterday with X'mas. I've heard so many good reviews from others and surprisingly it's really an extraordinary hilarious, romantic love story! *thumbs up*

"The Proposal", starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, a publishing executive (Bullock) forces her assistant (Reynolds) to marry her so she can avoid deportation back to Canada. Ryan Reynolds is damn cutie and he really attracted me in the movie (love him very much!) while Sandra Bullock, I think she's a bit old for Ryan. Nevertheless, she could hold the very feminist character in the movie. I was laughing my heart out throughout the movie (sorry for those people in the cinema), I just couldn't hold myself back from all those hilarious scenes. I love watching how innocent Andrew was when he's being forced to marry Margaret. I love watching Margaret, the cocky one, torturing Andrew and walked with her super high heels. I love to see Margeret was threatened by Andrew to kneel down and propose to him and a lot a lot more!!!

Here are some memorable quotes from the movie:

Margaret Tate: I am not getting in that boat!
Andrew Paxton: Fine, see you in three days.
Margaret Tate: You know I can't swim!
Andrew Paxton: Hence... the *boat*.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Andrew Paxton: [referring to the story about how he proposed to Margaret] You know what? Actually, Margaret loves telling this story, so I'm just gonna let her go ahead and do that. We should just sit and rapture.
Margaret Tate: Wow, okay... wow, where to begin... the story... Well, um, wow... Okay, well, um, Andrew and I... Andrew and I were about to celebrate our first anniversary together and I knew that he'd been itching to ask me to marry him and he was scared, like a little tiny bird. So, I started leaving him little hints here and there because I knew he wouldn't have the guts to ask..
Andrew Paxton: That's not exactly how it happened.
Margaret Tate: No?
Andrew Paxton: No, no, I mean I picked up on all of her little hints... this woman is about as subtle as a gun. Yeah, no what I was worried about was that she might find this little box...
Margaret Tate: Oh, the decoupage box that he made, where he'd taken the time to cut out twenty little pictures of himself, just pasted all over the box. So beautiful! I opened that beautiful little decoupage and out fluttered these tiny little hand cut heart confettis and once they cleared, I looked down and I saw the most beautiful, big...
Andrew Paxton: ...fat nothing! No ring.
Grandma Annie: No ring?
Grace Paxton: What?
Andrew Paxton: No, but inside that box, underneath all that crap, a handwritten note with the address to a hotel, date and time. Real Humphrey Bogart type stuff. Masculine. Naturally, Margaret, she thought...
Margaret Tate: I thought he was seeing someone else... so it was a terrible time for me, but I went to that hotel anyway, I went there and I pounded on the door. But the door was already unlocked. As I swung open that door, there he was...
Andrew Paxton: Standing.
Margaret Tate: Kneeling.
Andrew Paxton: Like a man.
Margaret Tate: On a bed of rosebuds, in a tuxedo. Your son. Your son... and he was choking back soft, soft sobs. And when he held back the tears and finally caught his breath, he said to me...
Andrew Paxton: 'Margaret, will you marry me?' and she said 'yep', the end!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Margaret Tate: What am I allergic to?
Andrew Paxton: Pine nuts, and the full spectrum of human emotion.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Andrew Paxton: Margaret, will you marry me? Because I'd like to date you.

Not forget to mention the house of Andrew in Alaska, it's a very traditional western style of home. Me and X'mas so want to live in such place, even just for a week! Yeah, I know we're day-dreaming. Hehe XD

Growing up

Received my aunt's SMS today. Updating me about my youngest cousin- Belle. She's now 3 years old plus and she can fit into Chloe's dress (my 2nd youngest cousin). All the dresses were made by Chloe's mom when she was young. And now these dresses are passed to little Belle. Look at those dresses, they're really cute and girly.

A potential model, isn't she? ;p

Typical young girl dress. I like the design a lot with the puffy sleeves :)

This is a bit big for Belle.

This cute little blue dress made Belle look like little elegant princess

Belle will be having a little brother soon. The whole family is looking forward to the newborn baby. He is expected in this coming November :)

That's research

First, we must have cells in order to test the effectiveness of drugs. So, here is the flask of cells where we culture them. MDA-MB-468 cells are our favourite kid because they grow up very healthily, fast & not so fussy. The most headache cells are HCC because up to this moment, we are still short of them (they grow extremely slow). Some of them even died prematurely.

Next, before using the cells, we must check under microscope.

Check what? The shape and its confluency. If anything goes wrong,

we need to grow them AGAIN.

Okay, if everything is fine. Proceed to the next step.

All the tasks are done in this biosafety cabinet which claims to be sterile.

Only hands are allowed inside the cabinet.

After all the long & fussy steps, here come my final step.

In which you will see a variety of purple colour. The more purplish it's, the more cells are present, i.e. your drug is INEFFECTIVE.

So, we usually aim for light purple. We want the cells DIE!

See a trend from deep purple to light? Yeah my drug works! Happy in term of this is a new finding, sad because of more works have to be done in order to further reassure it's effective :S

Dilemma.

Lastly, analyzing the result using ELISA plate reader.

Where now results will be converted into a lots of numbers.

So, that's my routine for the entire semester.

3 working days in a week. Not more than 5 hours per day.

Great isn't it? I doubt. Aimless life I'm having now.

Feel guilty without revising anything. How?

Just let it be for temporary HAHAHAHA

Merdeka Break

I have proposed Merdeka Break from the routine research lab work long ago.

I started to feel a bit of numb and boring with my lab works. Looking at the 96-well plates is really suffering and tiring. After 1 and a half month, our group has really improved a lot. We specialize in different tasks and nowadays we can use up just 3-4 hours to finish 1 session compared to 6-7 hours at the very beginning.

So, I must fully utilize these 10 days break!

Here are the To-do-List:

1. Movies: Up & The Orphan
2. Food: search for new tasty food
3. Make cheesecake
4. Spend quality time with him
5. Shop a little bit, perhaps
6. Go for another karaoke session since I've plenty of coupons
7. watch drama at home
8. Pillow talk
9. Exercise
10. Blog more
11. Take photos
12. Visit skybridge at Petronas Twin Tower (if we can get up early)

........ I bet there're more, that's it for now! Yeah, it's holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!
