4D3N Krabi Tour

Day 1:

MRT to Changi Airport then transfer shuttle bus to budget terminal for Tiger Airway flight to Krabi. Upon reaching Krabi Airport, we were brought to their Tiger Cave Temple to look around. It is a cave where people believed that there is a tiger that lived in d cave & died there & the tiger spirit is still there. The temple is built into the cave itself.

Following on, we were bought to their 'restaurant' for duck noodle or fried rice. the guide said that we can eat fried rice anywhere & so most of us chose duck noodle. the taste of the soup actually reminded me of an instant duck noodle which I bought & eat before in Singapore. Anyway, though I had got 2 duck thighs with their noodle aka small kway teow, it is still not that filling. well, why I said 'restaurant' is because, actually it isn't d restaurant like what we have in Singapore. it's open concept & built of wood & in a ulu location.

We were then brought to a souvenior shop which I almost faint when I see 'Pearl' at the entrance (memories of Shanghai tour flash back). luckily the pearl shop is partition in side d souvenior shop and the souvenior shop is simply just a shop selling some foods like mee sua, shrimp paste, etc. I only bought a package of mee sua for my mum as there is nothing interesting to get.

The last iternary for the 1/2 day tour is to a marine breeding ground. It is not compulsory depending if all of us wanted to go but none rejected and so off we go. there were hugh ponds where there were small & larges fishes and even a huge stingray that swam up towards us, poping it's eyes beyond the water as if to see if we would feed it.

in the sheltered building, there were glass tanks with different fishes & even lionfish. further in, there were large concret tank where they breed marine fishes like seahorses, nemo aka clownfishes, etc. i'd seen baby seahorse before so nothing new to me but baby fishes & baby nemo are just so tiny. so small till we have to look carefully to notice that actually the tank is filled with fishes and not dirts debris. we were told that what they do is actually to collect the weaker fishes in the sea and then breed them. they will then sell 1/2 the population and return the other 1/2 back to the sea.

actually even till now, i still can't decide if it's a good or bad idea. at least they don't catch from the sea to sell, disrupting the eco-system but will those breeded fish be able to survive the harsh environment beyond their breeding tank?

anyway, after that tour, we were brought to our hotel aka resort. i'm super surprised at the tiny stoned path entrance and a recept counter in a small hut. but later that night, i realized the reason. It's because their actual main entrance and reception area is under renovation. though we can't get the pool access room, our room is still not that bad. a king sized bed in a relatively huge room with a balcony that can see the pool but i realized that their staircase is really narrow. Only 1 pax can pass at a time only.

Since it isn't that late, we decided to walk out. our hotel is quite near to a stretch of shops where we can shop and there are many restaurants around too. our purpose then is to search for massage but actually i also bought 2 dresses. that was because we were told that there is snorkeling activities and I never bought enough clothes for such activities as it wasn't in the stated iternary. i'd packed swim wear as i know there is swimming pool in the hotel so i'm still lucky enough.

after strolling through a stretch of shops, we stopped for a massage & by the time we were done, there were heavy downpour. it's really raining cats & dogs. totally out of expectation as the sky seemed alright when we entered the shop for massage.

Though we had umbrella, it's still not enough & so we just stopped over a restaurant for our dinner with their tom yam soup, pineapple rice, fried prawn but we were still not full after that & so we ordered another hawaiian pizza. by then the rain almost stopped. actually, during our dinner, the rain stopped & just when shop owners outside started to reopen their shops & the restaurant staffs opened up the sheltered, it downpour again. it's really an unpredictable weather.


Day 2:

after breakfast at the hotel, we set off for our 4 island hopping tour. there isn't many people around, the water is super clear, the sand is thin & soft, the beach 'backdrop' r d rocky hills covered with trees. it's just paradise.

for the 2nd island, actually, we never landed on any island but we went off for snorkeling. my 1st ever snorkeling. i always wanted to try but never got the chance to & i'm so glad that it's actually included in the package if not i wonder if i would still get to try after this but i know if my parents were around, I'm sure i would never get to try it because to them, i don't know how to swim. To some extend, true because i self-mastered just frog style & seldom swim so my stamina aren't strong but i still strongly believed with life vest, i should be fine. anyway, from the longtail boat, i can see that there were many of 1 type of fish which I think is called sergeant fish or similar to what I had just google out.

well, of course, before going down the water, i would worry if the water will get into the mouth pieces for breathing from the top if i got too deep in the water. I would worry how deep is the water & if i would be able to hop & touch the bottom which would make me feel safer. & when i heard that the water seem quite deep, it make me more nervous. inside the water, when i'm able to float, i felt better but i simply just keep sucking in salt water instead of breathing in air when i use the mouthpiece. i took a while to get season to how to breath through the mouthpiece but there is another problem. i'm not sure if i didn't tighten the goggle properly that water seep in or because of my incorrect breathing & thus, making my goggle even more blur & thus irritated my eyes till it tears. but after a while, after tightening my goggle and wetting it, i seemed to be able to see better. The next problem come, it's not as easy to move wherever I wanted to or to stay still especially with people cluttered around as I keep kicking whoever in my path as I didn't know how to control & at time, i'm being swept to float chest up or side way till i gotta try to position myself back. & with all these positioning, my google became blur again so i always can't really see clearly in the water till I wondered if my contact lens had dropped off from the tearing. dear had pointed to me to other position & yet i really couldn't see anything except blury rocks. it's only after dear told me to wet the goggle again then I managed to see another type of fish which is the moorish idol, the one which is in Finding Nemo cartoon. it's so much bigger than i expected. it's so exciting. if not because the life vest had caused painful abrasion on my right arm, i would wish to stay in the water longer, to get more used to snorkeling & to see better & hopefully more fishes too. if i got a 2nd chance, i would wear a tee over my swim wear so as to minimize d abrasion from the life vest.

after getting real wet, we went off to the 3rd island which is interlink of 2 different islands. the waves came from 2 different direction, hitting on the sandy pathway. & then we were off to the 4th island with our lunch. our lunch is fried rice in a much shallow styrofoam box s compared to d type used in singapore so not really tt filling again so we had an ice cream after our meal.

oh by the way, to go up the longtail boat for our 4 island tour, our legs would get wet because we gotta walk into the water before we could climb up and into our boat.

after a slight washup at the hotel, we went out again to see if we could catch another land activity before ending off the day. if so, then we could catch another water activity the following day which is suppose to be free and easy. otherwise, we would leave relatively early on the last day.

we managed to find, book & go for a land package on day 2 afternoon starting with a >30 min elephant ride which i don't enjoy very much after seeing a open wound of at least 50 cent coin big on d head of the elephant plus, there were a few other lacerated heeled up wounds on the top of its head.

we then had an ATV ride through the race course and into the 'wood' with path & along the way, the ground is muddy so i tried not to go too fast on that so as not to get splash too much. i guess because of that & the winding path, dear's ATV keep stalling as I think he keep using the break which I had been told not to touch. & while waiting for him, my engine also died a couple of times. after the ride, i then realized that actually his ATV & mine is different. his is to turn for speed like motor cycle while mine is to press using my right thumb. i pressed till my thumb hurts as it's pretty tight.

following ATV ride, we had our try on the Go-Kart. it's also something which I also had been wanting to try. But instead of trying on the race track, we were brought to the road. yes. we drive the Go-Kart on the road with cars, motors, vans, buses, etc passing by us. but we don't have side or rear mirrors so gotta turn back to look out. once again, the stirring wheel is bit tight & the break and accelerator is also tight to press behind the stirring wheel. but it's an experience. after the journey, i realized that actually it was stated on the Go-Kart not to go on public road. Oops... LOL... & we ended off the day with another massage before a free dinner at the hotel before turning off.


Day 3:

After breakfast, we went to another town for water rafting. It's also something which i wanted to try. Dear also wanted to try but hesitated because he had promised my mum to take care of me. so on day 1 when we were told that the ATV, Go-Kart & elephant ride would take 1 day while the water rafting would take another. with only 1 day free, dear actually chose ATV & Go-Kart as he said that might be more safe. i did try to talk him into more consideration as water rafting may not be as common as Go-Kart. If not because we could do the ATV and Go-Kart in the afternoon of Day 2, I am unsure if i would still get the chance for water rafting in my life.

in our boat, there was another couple from singapore. but they only have 2 extra peddle for the 2 guys in our group. dear didn't hold much to the rope even though it would get more bumpy & so i ended up slidin my hand through his life vest strip before grabbing on to the robe. well, of course if he will fall, i might be dragged down too but my strength is relative strong. that had been tested when d staff tried to but failed to tug me down to the water when we were at a peaceful area where some people went down to swim. the only proble is that i feel the pain on my sun burnt shoulders while he tugged me.

overall, it's really a fun experience. even if you don't get that wet from the bumping through the rapids, you will get splashed by either of the 2 staffs that follow you. otherwise, from other staffs from other boats or even other passengers like us who were holding on to the peddles. so we also had fun splashin other people.

my boat got stuck once & i'm quite amazed that the staffs simply just jumped down & dragged the boat before jumping back in. they were really profesional. & many times, they would purposely stirred the boat to bump to rocks, etc so as to make you fly off your sitting position.

the only thing i don't understand is why would ladies wanted to go for such activities, wearing make-up & worse is non-waterproof make-up like mascara. sitting opposit me is the lady of the other couple with us. initially, she was also laughing but there is once when we were splashed by the staff & her mascara melt, she lost her laughter & trying to wipe her eyes. i really don't understand why such people wanted adventure & yet wanted to be so 'ku niang'.

after the water rafting, is buffet lunch (provided) then we head on to a waterfall where people jumped in from a height even though there is a sign that said 'do not jump'. before my group could head in, i saw an ang-moh lady pointing to a really bruised last toe of her feet. looking at the sign, i really feel that sometimes, it really what these people were asking for. Anyway, because we had already bath & changed as the guide initially said the waterfall activities had been cancelled, thus, we never get into the water to get ourselves wet.

we then head to the 2nd camp where we had our fish spa, while others had other activities like elephant rides & ATV ride. since we had it the day before, we never signed up for those activities & thus, we had to wait for them before seeing the monkey & elephant shows.

our last destination is a fruit farm but we didn't go in. they displayed harvested fruits at a side while getting us seated in 2 huts with cuts fruits for us to eat. there is guava, red dragonfruit, pineapples, watermelon, chiku & also a fuit which i only know the term in dialect which is called 'leng kim'. there are 5 other people sitting with us. all of which are Singaporean & they didn't know there is red dragonfruits, they never know and tasted chiku & leng kim before which i'm quite surprise. there are many chiku plants just in my neighbourhood & also in my tiny garden outside. actually, i also had grow dragonfruit just that i'm not sure what colour they would be.

we ended our final evening with a seafood dinner consisting of fried fish in thai sauce, fried lala, bbq prawns, fried kang kong, rice & 2 coconut juice plus, watermelon & pineapple as free desert & the meals cost only 710 baht which cost less than SGD30 for 2 pax.

after all these activities, i thank dear for bring me & allowing me to continue & also pled him to never to leave me out if he wanted to go for more in future. i wanted to do & try while i'm still young, while i still can & not regret in future.

if you asked me to choose, i would choose adventure trip instead of shopping spree because one can never stay forever young and energetic for all the activities.

acknowledgement or demanding???

recently, prof seemed to wanna start a series of lab mtg aft mtg... jus last fri, i'd my 1st ever lab mtg in my life & is oso d 1st ever i noe of since i'd been w his lab for ~4 mth attachment in mid 2010; den ~4 mth FYP in early 2011 & den ~2 mth s his PO.

b4 tt, s i was waitin for d 2nd ab, my proj + another co-operated w a Ph.D student had been stagnant & think he saw me quite free den & gave me another proj. well, he did ask politely if he can add on but i noe cant reject la. but tt's sort of my 1st proj tt aft he told me more than jus briefly, i did my own research n plannin n discussed w him rather than i'm bein spoon-fed cos usually, he'll talk w me n d Ph.D student so she'll explain to me or advice me wat to do. anw, haven really start tt proj yet. more or less still at plannin stage but once sequencin results is back n ok, i'm ready to proceed.

today, thr is an interviewee. not sure for student or staff but like usual, prof will intro to each of us n wat we r doin. in d office when he came out w d interviewee, thr is only 3 staff includin me. he intro to d only guy staff 1st n jus said v briefin on a proj tt he's doin. den when my turn, he said tt i'm currently doin quite a few things. to research on dis n blah blah blah. said till i got numerous things on hand n v busy.

well, currently still not exactly busy cos was waitin for my cells to grow so i can lyse them. will have to do numerous lysis & run numerous gel & den western blots... so i bet i can oso get super busy. but while waitin for d cells, i can sit almost whole day in office n do d necessary purchasin la. so when he said so, i sort of felt quite guilty cos nw not productive in lab work.

but tt doesn't mean i no do work. i got my asset. my past experience n memories of purchasin & so in jus a while, i can source like 9 co sellin d item which prof is lookin at... plus, i'm thinkin beyond d current step on wat i shoudl proceed on eventually. till d Ph.D student told me tt i can think s time goes cos d mutation i gonna do might take quite a while.

on d other hand, i felt tt actually, it seemed like other than pushin me to b more 'productive' in lab work, i oso felt tt actually he do noe tt i'd all these projects on hand n tt he 'recognized' my effort? so i guess, it's still a gd thing tt he noe & hopefully if i can get d hypothesized results, den will do gd for my 'career', resume, ...

Stunned

I noe tt my prof likes to ask, 'hw's thing?' n he's referring to experiment. He ESP like to ask when he sees tt we seemed to b in office for too long. But ytd morning I was stunned by his questions...

While running my sds-page, I was back to d office n serve net awhile n then prof came in w his mac coffee cup. When he was taking key to open his office. He turned to face me n ask his fav line. Aft answering him, he turned back n I cont'd wat I was doin.

Den he suddenly turned back n blurt out, 'J, r u married?'
Me: *stunned* 'no'
Me: *thinking* (huh? Y he ask? Tot he should noe? He hire me so should ve seen my profile. Plus he oso noe I jus graduated so hw possible?)
Prof then asked something like 'y not?', or 'when?'
Me became super stunned n blur cos I totally nvr expect to get tt kinda questions at this time when I been working here for 2 mths le so not s if i'm applying for a job... Thus hw can I not b stunned...

complicated humans

while on d journey home today, thoughts flash thru my mind. thinkin of this, thinkin of tt, wonderin if it work, wonderin when is d best time... humans r really a complicated species... if can, i wish i can don grow up, or rather i hope in this world thr is no $$, no tradin, & tt d world won't progress so fast...

well, i don exactly like research but i don mind doin experiments... yet, i'm in a research lab now. though i'm jus a project officer, i'm hired under research grant & so, i must & ve to do research which will affect my PB & increment. & PB is my only bonus cos thr r none others for this contract. at least i'm glad i got a job immediately aft the endin of my FYP & graduation trips. at least i'm paid though not exactly well-paid cos overall, not much diff fr my previous full-time job.

tt made me think of jumpin out, findin another job but i feel bad if i search & leave nw cos my prof is nice enough to take me in. so i tot to give myself more time. but jus nw, i ponder to myself. is it a wise decision? which is d best decision?

s i'm workin, i'm gainin more insights & knowledge of workin in a research environment. dis fri i'll ve my 1st ever lab meetin whr we need to present. i'm assigned projects to do s though i'm 1 of d Ph.D student, i'm expected to find some source of information myself. & if gg well, my name be added in published papers. tt'll b gd for me, for my resume if i wanna stay in dis field esp when my paper qualification sucks. so for dis reason, i shoudl stay on right? furthermore, so far here aint s bad yet cos i may b v busy runnin ard at times but den at least more or less i can go back on time. can even meet dear for lunch if he workin late in d afternoon cos he stay not tt far away. & so all in all, i feel i'm gettin quite used to it here.

on d other hand, mainly cos of d pay, i feel tt i should venture out. but tt'll b a bold step out. i'd been in d same environment for more than 8 yrs. it'll b steppin out of my comfort zone. but i felt tt i should cos i can't possibly stay on here forever right? though thr r many familiar faces.

but surely i noe i wont venture out to research anymore. mayb sales or purchasin? & tt bring bout another Qs. though i got experience in purchasin b it d SAP or d GeBIZ, is it really enough to bring me out? Is it really worth to venture out oso? like d give n take, will i end up spend more though i may earn more? hw much more can i earn? savin will b more or less aft removin all changed expenditure?

& i oso ended up wonderin if i shouldn't ve taken my degree. mayb i should ve tried others like biz mgmt or so den mayb tt way i'll b on better stand to venture out. & tt actually made me think back. if i had not taken my degree, whr would i b? if i'd not taken my 1st job wantin & hopin to further studies, i guess i would had become a paramedic. if i had not taken biotech in poly, i guess i might b in nursin sch in NYP then. if i'd chosen to change sec sch, would i still take d same path s now?

but if i'm given a 2nd chance, i guess i might not ve choosen sci s my path cos it's like w jus a degree, u r jus hangin in mid air w extreme low chance to climb up at all cos w tt qualification, cant even manage ppl. it's like u r stuck in btw.

feelin stuck, & yet feelin in comfort zone, if not cos of $$ & location factor, i guess i might end up stayin on for life. guess tt's y my friend told me tt actually i shoudl leave ASAP if not cos i felt bad if i do so.

i'd been tellin myself tt i shoudl work for mayb 6 mth to 1 yr den leave but den jus nw, i wonder if tt's a gd time. cos wat my next job would b is still unknown. is it really a pay jump or a pay cut? my savin & CPF income would become uncertain which is not gd. well, esp when i'd jus sign up for more insurance policy cos i'm not covered totally in case of anything happen. though wat i sign up nw is jus coverin a little, at least better than none. hear case of accident & become paralyse, etc. jus too scary. plus, i oso need to save up too... so based on dis, it seemed like it's best to source out nw but i still feel bad leh.

well, nw, my current decision is sort of to try find job mayb in nov cos tt might b a mth whr ppl might tender aft gettin their yr end bonus. & yet i hope i can only start mayb aft 1Q 2012. & yet i oso hope tt btw d 2 job, i can get a break aka holiday too. but i oso noe tt i can't stay unemployed for long due to many reasons. gosh... tt's y i say humans r complicated... haiz

to their benefits & to our disadvantages

to summarize, things been fine when i started work. purchasin etc is fine w me cos i got past experience. & i like to keep track of my purchasin so i noe d status. so since my colleague (Y) was leavin, i'd been chasin aft her, volunteerin to take over all her present purchase. best part is she left everything hangin in mid air. expectin me to noe everything.

1) a requester (F) ask me status of an item den realize i got no info & so FC check my email & den no choice, she go source again & pass me info. even prof worried tt actually Y purchase & he was hesitatin when cfm-in to get me to buy.

2) d microscope servicin status. totally no idea hw. no contact, no service contract no, etc. was chased aft by prof for status twice 2 weeks ago. den finally got a name fr Y which she only rmbr & all her info she oso cant access cos she no longer can. & yet d main company couldn't find d guy & so no ans. end up prof dig out a useful email w d guy's full name & contact no. found out Y gave him wrong contact no of mine & forward to wrong ppl. + she gave away my HP no (though wrong) jus like tt.

3) in 1 of Y's last email, she jus say tt she did purchase secondary anti-mouse & will get back to us once she got d status. den, d other purchaser (L) was chased twice for d status last week & then L come & chase aft me. thanks lor. found thr is a purchase in jun but tt's bit too long for delivery. today finally can contact Y & yet she forget wat name & company. WTH... but managed to figure out d brand & name for her to check & asked for her to get me her updated status record too.

3) aft much delay, i finally received d record fr Y & best part of all. her last purchase was 'passed' to me but i totally got no idea. she den say mayb she email wrong ppl again & ask me get quotation again 'tml'. diao. tml sat leh. not working leh. so i tot can do it on mon. but decided to check on d web since can get quotation online. well, y i did cos d name seem incomplete again. den to be nice, i asked her to let me noe who requested for it so i can cfm w d person & yet, tt person is F, d one gg to India tgt w Y in tonight flight. peng. tried calling d F but HP off so i had to calm down den call Y. cos i really need d info cos if not den hw i purchase? end up F oso cant rmbr exactly & so no choice gotta put off lor. can only pray hard tt prof wont not happy w me cos it's really really not my fault.

i really cant wait to get over this crazy period cos dealin w d mess is really crazy. but in a way, i'm lucky tt i got her record today so at least i found out tt thr is such a 'pendin' purchase. at least if d prof really not happy, i can say i only got to noe today & tt i totally got no detailed info to proceed for d purchasin.

on d other side, dear's OL for Krabi in Oct w me seemed to b drawn out by duno who. thr seemed to have a ghost at his workplace swoppin his shift & cancelin his OL cos no 1 wanna admit. so i super duper pissed off w all these black sheep.

y cant ppl do wat they suppose to do? y for their benefit & yet to our disadvantage? Today is fri, i got many things i planna do & yet thanks to such ppl, i spend lots of time tryin to find d item, tryin to clear ppl's mess. i'm really really angry tt i really don wish to see d person again. she still ve d cheek to say she will come back & visit us b4 leavin for her further studies. i really don wish to see her at this pt of time.

BIG MESS

it's almost 2 mth since i started work. & nw, i'm felt i'm dump w mess again like d time when i started my 1st perm job. however, it's much diff than last time. at least thr is no on-going purchasin, servicin, etc to track & at least d mess ain't tt much cos it was a relatively much newer lab than now.
well, i sort of concluded tt actually i prefer to work in a new lab, startin off everything afresh & keepin clear record of everything esp since i'd got d template to track d purchasin & could spend much lesser time to source rather than flip thru d piles of doc manually like searchin needles in d sea. if not possible, at least work in a much newer lab ba. w 4 yrs of workin experiences w d 1st yr tryin to settle & get all d records, i felt tt subsequent yrs seemed to b much easier.
durin my 4 yrs break for studies, i oso continued doin diff part time. & oso in d purchasin dept too. i really don understand y ppl can jus pat their backside & leave a big mess for d next person. esp w missin records or info. hw do they expect ppl to source out? & nw, i felt d mess pilin on me.
anw, 1 question, hw to differentiate btw friends/colleagues?
yes. i'm in a place tt i'm familiar w. i noe d prof for more than 8 yrs. i prep d prac for d prof for 4 yrs, i did my attachment in his lab more than a yr ago, i did my FYP thr & nw i cont'd workin in his lab. i noe most of d ppl well & we're closed. so i bet we're friends & i wished to believe so. but i'm not so sure now. will a friend leave a mess for his/her friends? or is it cos of d age gap? or differences in d seriousness lvl? i rmbr i updated everything properly before leaving for my studies last time. i even track d time & reminded my friend when she should do certain things. i forwarded all impt emails to my yahoo mail cos i noe d work mail will be inactivated. tt's for sure. hw can anyone not noe? tt's common sense right?
currently, i'm sort of taking over a friend or rather ex-colleague who is leaving for studies oso. much b4 she left, i reminded her many times to update me & pass me everything. day b4 shee left, i still check w her even for d servcing, i found out she had an excel file which she will sort of update for purchasin, though not s comprehensive than mine, at least min she shoudl send a final copy to me b4 she left but she didnt.
is it cos d lab is too lenient? prof allow ppl to come in by 10am & didn't really comment much bout disappearance so i admit once a while i took longer lunch when i meet dear. but mostly i don leave tt early like near 1 & i try get back by slightly aft 2. but i see tt ppl took chances to go to JP, to go to service ctr, to go to ambassy.
on d last day of my ex-colleague, she went to d ambassy to get her visa. k. fine. i treat s if i dono. however, when she got back, i still check w her even till i die die wanna leave. cos i alrdy miss my bus cos i was waiting for her updates. i waited till i give up but i trusted her to pass me all items. guess it's bad move. but do i ve to chase aft her & till wat time? if it's my experiment or cos of prof i accept but cos of an irresponsible colleague who keep delayin? hw can i accept tt?
& thanks to her, last week, i was asked twice by my prof on status of d microscope servicing, w d only info tt she called Nikon directly, i ve no other info. this kinda matter is best either u got d service contract no or at least d DID of d person in-charge but i'd none. a PhD student can contact her so i seek her help & was told tt my colleague emailed me. i swear i nvr receive it. & true enough after d student search my email acc. den i was told tt my ex-colleague could no longer access her email. great. but she got a name w no surname so i call d company but i couldn't find d person in-charge. & then my prof check w me for d status for d 3rd time. F*** luckily d prof got d mail & printed for me.
guess wat. i found tt she had given my HP & email to d guy but gave him 9 digit HP no instead of 8. i'm not happy tt she jus give my HP no away jus like tt. i super don like it like tt. she should ve d courtesy to check w me if not den give d lab no la. & d email add is oso wrong. she had search for a student instead of a staff & happily said she forward me d mail. it's not even my undergrad email add lor. i really 'pei fu' her. whr is her heart s she work? photoshop? photography? friends? fun?
today, i was asked by another student on d delivery of another item. & best part. d only info i got fr her excel file is tt thr is a similar or same item bought in june & supposely pending delivery but d file update is till mid of jul only. so is it really pending delivery? is it tt item? so i can jus try contact d company? or had it been delieved & thr is another item from same or diff company aft mid jul? she did send me an email w regards to tt matter. she said she will check w d company via email & get back to me & she nvr forward me d details of her conversation. & nw, i guess she can say tt cos her email acc is locked, she could n't check le lor. wah lan eh. hw many more mess had she left behind? hw many more do i ve to clear?
best part. for purchasin, i'm not d only one doing, thr is another gal & both of us had d acc to purchase fr GS. however, ppl in d lab only keep tellin me they need this they need tt. helo! thr is 1 more person when i'm busy lor. & even best part. ytd, tt gal w d acc came & tell me tt 1 of d item is finishin & she was gg to rest at her desk then. seein so, though i free then, i felt tt i shouldn't 'zhong rong' them. i told her bluntly, 'then buy lor'. y did she have to tell me? if i need something & i'm free, instead of tellin her, i would rather ask if she had anything to buy den i consolidat & get tgt ma. so wat? she is expectin me to buy when she is free? if tt's d case, she can b free fr d duty le la.
previously, before d risk assessment audit, b4 d long weekend, prof wanted someone to volunteer to update d MSDS but no 1 did & so i did. i noe surely many things r missing & true enough. I need to search, print & update in jus 1 day & i couldn't finish. Luckily thr r ppl who volunteer to help me. if not, i cant even finish if auditor really came in. i guess they noe all these r messy stuff so no one wanna b d one in charge ba.
tt's y i say, it's really gd if i can help start of a new lab or at least a realatively new lab so things ain't tt messy. & can really c d true color of ppl when such things happen. i'm really disappointed w tt so call friend who jus pat her backside & leave.
