MBRC's BBQ Dinner (18 OCT)

I know I was reluctant to go at first but who cares... when there's free food right? In other words, I can both save munny and the effort of having to cook dinner. Guess I'm getting pretty lazy nowadays and cooking is no longer one of my passion.

OK. Back to the BBQ dinner. When they mentioned BBQ in the email, I was thinking of those

charcoal. chicken wings. sausages. burning hot. Yum Yum. And coincidentally Nick was telling me about BBQ bacon this morning.

Well, it turned out not exactly as I have thought it to be. Just an ordinary dinner yet appetizing- with crackers and cheese and cashews as starters, followed by grilled chicken breast with fragrant rice, asparagus and caesar salad, finally vanilla ice-cream with cherry plum topping for dessert. (>w<) I was in heaven~! Talk about having a full stretch day in lab, this all pays off by being awarded with such fine and simple dinner. (Nick: PIGGY!)

We had a fun time cam-whoring all the while we're there and also being country-bum about being in a house on top of the hill

Me n Supin
Prof. Roger Smith - Head of MBRC & Chef of the night
Tan (You should have seen his bushy beard!) and Jorge
Jess and her glass of red wine

All of us having the splendid dinner

Simply couldn't resist the lurvely night lights
My supervisor - Prof. Rick Nicholson

(Suspect Jess has taken a liking on him)
Like I've said.. Can't resist it

Prof. John Aitken, I suppose

Candid~! (Luckily I wasn't acting weird)

Some other phD's and post-doc in the lab

Kaushik (Resembles my dad in his 30's XP)

WOW~! Thanh.. I seriously didn't see that coming.
Matthew - My Biotech senior and chaffeur of the night

Asean gurls @ MBRC!!

Drumrolls ~

TA-DAA!!!

Jess finally had a shot with her dream Prince - John Schjenken

(She's been drooling all over ever since I started my placement)

(Everyone in the lab knows about her big crush)

(Wonder if John knows about it)
(What if the rumours are true?)

(If John's a gay)

~THE END~

The BEACH~!

We're at the beach again! Forgot when's the last time we went.. But this time we were really looking forward to having tonnes of fun

Until~

Our volleyball got snatched away.

Ok. Unintentionally.

And as timetable navigator Nick predicted the night before, we ended up taking the 9:45am bus *cheekily showing his 'I-told-you-so' expression*. Well, all of us were practically shivering in our bones when we finally reached Newcastle beach, doubting the weather forecast being sunny. But hours later, the scorching sun drenched the beach and we had to put our tubes of sunblock to good use. We managed to run into the seniors and N&D juniors (such good coincidence), whilst Suresh and EC joined us later.

It was fun seeing EC being "man-carried" into the freezing-cold water.

WW being carried princess-style by Warren.

WW's attempt to perform her silat-kick in water.

The other exciting bit was the 'chemical reactions' that was going on. XP

Awkward bit was maybe us in our bikini suits.. (Evinced by the odd gazes)

And so we had our fun, then it's lunch at Oporto. There was some comical squabble over the 1/2 and whole chicken between EC and Nick. *Restrain to laugh all the while*

Photos:

The babes! XD

And the guys.. F n Warren

Soh lou.. Looking soh soh dei, wonder if the sun got to him
JL n MK (Still looking fair..)
I also want! Count me in wei~!!

It was a .. *yawn* .. fun fun fun day. Let the guiltiness of not doing my report come later~

Time for some nice nap!

Mentally Exhausted

Just when things are starting to look promising,




It got worse...

Upon being rendered the news,





my hart submerged into distress.

Unable to respond,






Striving to be tough.

This month has been a dreadful one so far,






and it's not getting any better.

I pray that I am still able to take challenges






Or at least feeling fortunate that






someone's always there for me.

Play a Practical Joke.... On the dumb dumb

Not long ago, my beloved sis and her boy Ben ben decided to play a pretty good joke on me. What's more, they picked the exact right time also, which is when I was all troubled about my placement. Picked an easy target, ehh?

The msn conversation went like this:

Baby/Mummy* says:

hi there.. how you doing?

BreadfreaK says:

Erm.. Can I know who you r?

Baby/Mummy* says:

You wanna know who I am?? But I want to know who are you first.

BreadfreaK says:

I asked you first, so I get the priority to know you first.

Baby/Mummy* says:

but I wanna know who you are more than you wanna know me.. Can you be first plz =)

BreadfreaK says:

K then. My name is BreadfreaK*. So what else do you wanna know?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I wanna know how old are you then.

BreadfreaK says: (Testing my doubts)

19

Baby/Mummy* says:

Huh? So young? Don't lie.. I thought you're 21

BreadfreaK says: (Doubts confirmed.. This fella definitely knows me)

-_-!!

Baby/Mummy* says:

I am right rite?

BreadfreaK says:

Yea, you are. How about you?

Baby/Mummy* says:

50?

BreadfreaK says: (In doubt again)

-_-!!! So.. wait.. Do I actually know you? or not?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I saw you in the Malaysian Fest last Sunday if I'm not mistaken.. Nopez.. You've never seen me before

BreadfreaK says:

HARH? You saw me? Did you talk to me back then?

Baby/Mummy* says:

Nopes.. coz I was too shy.. BTW, I'm not really 50, I'm only 22

BreadfreaK says: ( TL izit? or Louis?)

Ohh. so how did you know it's me at the fest and how did you get my msn add.?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I have my contacts. During the fest, you were wearing a black top with some white scribbles on it right?... And you ate mee goreng.. rite rite?

BreadfreaK says: (Nope.. Definitely not them)

-_-!!! Yea.

Baby/Mummy* says:

LOL. I think we are made for each other.. You have one sister, and 4 brothers and.. your sister just got a new car.. If not mistaken, it's a blue suzuki swift... And you used to drive a silver Advanza

BreadfreaK says:

Oh god.. You're starting to freak me out here.. You spy on me arr?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I knew you long ago.

BreadfreaK says:

You psycho or something?

Baby/Mummy* says:

What do you think?

BreadfreaK says: (Ish~ Now only I figure out.. Such dumb dumb)

Hmm.. A pretty good 90% you are... or possibly 10% is just someone playing a dumb practical joke on me

Baby/Mummy* says:

ROFL~!

So, by the time I have everything figured out.. These two pranksters were already laughing till their stomach twisted and faces numb. Should have figured it out earlier, the nickname is almost the same as my dear beloved sis's only in the wrong order. Way to go Ben, I've always heard that you're a cheeky fella but you've really fooled me.. Big time~! Go laugh your heads off while you're at it then.

Blekk.
