monday

rough day today (the blogging lasted till tuesday)... started from ytd actually... jan is starting to get more than a handful, or mayb it's juz me, i wasn't in a particularlly gd mood either...

anyway, the title is monday.

planned to come out early cause' got a study supposedly planned early in the morning.. came out early to catch the early bus then realised my ezlink was low on credit, topped it up at the mrt station, damn my card got stucked! took me 10min to get the guy from station control to retrieve it for me.. changed train at Outram and took a light nap... and... i woke up at buona vista, when the dorr closed...ended up i was only 5-10 min earlier at work...

checked my schedule on an "invitation" in co. email... darn the experiment starts at 1130am! fine i'll do other things.. kaz reminded me to start preparing the compounds at 1015am so that i'll make it in time to dose at 1130am, checking the time noting that i shld be able to do some stuffs in the next 30min so i went ahead burying myself in stacks of papers and occasional glancing at the computer screen.. Jean said sth, which i cant rem wad now, then i looked up at the time at the corner of the computer screen... f**k! it's 1044 already! urgh.... hurried along to add solvent to the compounds and attempt tp disslove them as fast as i can... shit... some of them got solubility issues.. had tham in the sonicating bath for close to 30min (it usually take 10-15min ) and there's still particle floating ard.. finally got all to dissolve and quickly made my way down to the basement where we hold the test subjects.

we've got 3 lifts which we can take to get to B1, cargo lift 1 (CL1), cargo lift 2 (CL2) and a passenger lift which can only be accessed from level 1 main lobby. 1st to go is CL1, it's the nearest to our office and it's the shortest way to get down... "Level 10 - load/unload"... shit.... ok next, CL2... great it's on the way down... i hopped on and finally got to B1.. i tapped my access pass on the door to get out of the lift lobby, no response.. i tried again, no response still.. now through the small glass panel i saw kaz, he was shaking his head and i heard him saying "it doesn't work"...urgh... im losing time!! Noted that CL1 was being used in load/unload, i made my way to level 1, to the main lobby, to take the passenger lift... when i got out at B1, same thing!! it cant recognise my card... shit.. now back to level 1, i need to go try CL1 again... "level 1" and it's going down... nvm i missed it, but it shld come up very fast, from B1... " B1.....L1.... L2.... L3......... L4 load/unload.."

!!!!!!!!!!

"...L5....L6....L7....L8...L9...L10..."

.........

anyway i finally got to B1 tog with some supplier/vendors/contractors in CL1 and my card is still not recognisable! well i kinda expected that... luckily the contractors' temp card can be used on that door...

quickly made my way to the animal unit, and in my hurry, i hit my ankle on a knee-high barrier, i dropped the bottles holding compounds... twice... and there's leaking on the 2nd time i dropped it.. luckily it's from the vehicle bottle.... i was 37min late from the scheduled time...

when i finally came out from the animal unit the door to CL1 wasn't able to recognise my card still.. i wasn't really prepared to come out the long way... i.e. the same way which goods vehicle come in.. so i jerk hard at the door handle and forced my way thru... (pls do not do this at home!! it's hard for ur arms!)

i think kaz is juz unlucky to get stucked there juz now when he wanted to come up, i brought him the bad luck...haha.. the doors rejected me all those tries i made, and he was only rejected once, it's fine when he went down in the afternoon!!

missed the lunch hour so gotta eat alone at the foodcourt juz within a stone's throw.. got another study planned in the afternoon and ended the day at 640pm.. sian...

on another note, in the morning juz before we left for work, Jan waved to us and blabbered "bab baii.." =)
