September updates

  1. Project
  • Submitted an abstract to an international congress, whether accepted or not, still don't know. But good to try, at least contributed some data for the project
  • Still struggling in sample preparation part, got many samples appeared degraded on gel which I don't know what went wrong. I quite confident with my skills and the protocols after few months of struggling tried to produce good samples for microarray. Anyway, RNA degradation is something very bad news for me, because can't use them for microarray.
  • Microarray training will be on 30 November. Whether will jadi or not, still don't know.
  • Between, next year "zero" grant. Only left less than 10k has to spend by November 2009, before it gets eaten by hospital director to refurnish his office.
  • 16 heart attack patients to be recruited.. long way to go..


     

  1. Leisure
  • Planned a trip to Phuket island, hopefully can enjoy the trip and by that time, I already settle my rna problem.
  • Also planned a trip to KL and Cambodia on December, but 60% can't jadi because of the microarray training. Another 40% chances of jadi will be if I postpone my microarray training (again!) to next year. (You see, there is quite high risk of postponing)
  • Will be back to Sibu to celebrate grandma's birthday on October and also see my Coach bag (from Japan) – also means more money will be gone from my pocket
  • I am officially a car owner, bought a Viva, 2 months ago.


     

  1. Personal's health and love
  • Found myself recently be more mature and higher EQ, thanks to that old lady in the office and the shocking result of the rna samples and the patients
  • Still underweight, seriously lack of nutrients, BMI index less than 18!
  • A lot of pimples on my face, and many unknown red spots everywhere on my skin after mosquitoes bites
  • Health status doesn't improve much even fed with bird nests and 7 hrs regular sleep, most probably is due to the stress, I think.
  • Is time to go for medical check up. Something must be wrong with me, I can feel.
  • Still happy as usual, must always believe nothing can beat me down. God watch me always, I can feel.
  • Someone proposed a date to me, hmm..
