Blerr Quenn

Oops.. Should be "Blurr Queen"..Here's how it went..

How can you lose something you bought in just 2 hours.. Then find it again miraculously at an unexpected location..? Unbelievable? Believe it~

There I was playing around with the new earrings I bought in the bathroom and after some time I decided to remove them and keep them away. Having removed one of them, I proceeded to the next and suddenly there was a slight "thud" and the next thing I knew.. I LOST IT~! DANG! I LOST ONE OF MY EARRINGS~!

Stupid! Clumsy! Reckless!.. I was ceaselessly reprimanding myself for the next minute or so before decided to start frantically searching high and low to find the missing piece. The first place I figured was the SINK as it would have easily slipped down the sink into the piping, and so I opened the cabinet below and tackled with the pipes. Apparently the pipes are unscrewable and easily removed, for a moment there I felt some hope in the midst of despair as the earring could have settled in the U-shaped pipe. But it turned out there was nothing in it.

I tried a second time (screwing back the pipe, pour water down the sink, then unscrew the pipe again).. Still, there's nothing~! (I bet you're thinking why I'd do that.. Well, I obviously dunno.. Maybe being exceptionally desperate makes you do the silliest things)

Well, definitely not down the sink..Cross that possibility out.. The next place to look was the BATHROOM SLAB. Err.. One major problem, the slab was covered and sealed with concrete. If it were to drop down the gutter, no way I'm getting it back up. Just when all hopes were lost, something caught my attention.

The RUBBISH BIN~!!

I think you could have guessed what happened next. I was literally tossing rubbish out of the stuffed bin and scavenged through hair-webs and toilet rolls like siao poh. I checked every piece of rubbish and eventually every corner of the bathroom. The one thing I didn't do was chisel out every tiles. I would if I could..

OKOK..I GIVE UP~! I GIVE UP~! It's definitely down the gutter and I won't be able to retrieve it EVER!

Being exceedingly miserable, glum and frustrated, I looked into the mirror with a fierce face glaring back at me. To my horror...

I FOUND IT~!!

I'VE FOUND THE MISSING EARRING~!

Go ahead.. Have a wild guess where it actually reappeared... As you might have guessed, it's right where it belongs. Duh..My Ear~! Haha.. Laugh at me if you wish.

All the wild goose chase for nothing .. Or should I say foolish girl hunt..

To end this silly story, I therefore officially declare myself as the

......."BLERR QUENN"

Placement started~!

At first I thought there would be so much to do that I wouldn't be able to manage. On the first day, I ended up getting all geared up and was extremely grumpy when I nearly missed the bus (Winnie become my victim of outburst). To top it all, it had to be a pouring Monday~ Yikes! Things couldn't have been worse. Well, it just DID~! All the complications and troubles of needing to go through the safety induction for PC2 lab and all is really getting on my nerves.. I had missed out on the previous session since they coincidentally banged into my heavy-packed tormentous week. I need to accomplish these bothersome procedures before I can actually start handling with the cell cultures for my project. Jin Jia Ma Huan leh~

Well, at least I get to finish part of my finance assignments instead of hanging around doing nothing at all.

Nonetheless, I DID manage to sneak into the lab on the first day to observe the handling of cell cultures. And wait till you get to know the history of the cells, they're actually 40-YEARS-OLD~! The samples were taken from the placenta of a woman 40 years ago when the placenta actually turned carcinogenic during pregnancy. Had no idea whether it occurred during late pregnancy or during the early stages and the pregnancy had to be terminated.

Yipee~! I've touched a 40-YEAR-OLD carcinogenic cell line!!

*getting all excited about it*
