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!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 August 2009

Sometimes I really feel that I'm not that great after all.

I don't deserve to be loved or to love.

I feel like wrapping myself like a cocoon, stay away from all the problems that haunted me.

I want to withdraw myself from it.

Can I?

I can't breathe anymore.

I am dehydrated.

I am gonna breakdown soon.
