I have quite a bit to write about today because they've been accumulating over the days and I haven't had the time to blog.

First, I met up with B over lunch. I had quite a bad impression of his character before and to my close friends I've even said things about him that were not flattering (Sorry.) But I have to retract them now because he seems to have changed. He's a lot more calm and at peace with himself now, responsible, and trusting in the good side of human nature. I really think that this has a lot to do with the fact that he turned to Christianity a few months back. I am beginning to see that maybe there is nothing to lose in trying it out for myself.

Anyway, I shouldn't have judged B before. Who am I to? Compared to him I grew up in great abundance. I didn't have to worry about supporting my family when I passed out from JC and now I complain about my parents demanding money from me when they are still earning more than me and my sister combined, but how about B who has to help his mum out with a mortgage and his sister's university fees? That kind of responsibility is something I have not experienced and can only imagine, how it must weigh on him, and the dreams he gave up to shoulder them..

On a much lighter note, my cells came back from the dead. It is a miracle. All I did was to ask for help, and I got it. I replaced the low dose IL 2,7,15 media with a high dose of IL 2. Five days later, my cells look alive. Thank you American Post Doc.
But I have yet to test them. They may have lost their specificity anyhow...CROSSING MY FINGERS! but it won't be so bad even if they really did, cos I already gave up on them a week ago. heartache over liao.

I did something for the first time last Sunday. I went fishing in a longkang with yd, evelyn, and her bf. It was hot, and man was it filthy, but i had fun. Loris' dad said I broke the law though. I poached. Even though we were 'poaching' with silly amateur fish nets (the kind you use to scoop goldfish out of your fish tank) and we didn't catch anything other than longbeaks that were less than 3cm long and let them go anyway. We did see this uncle with his southeast asian bride using a huge and much more pro net and a bucket hauling in two lobster shrimp (who knows what those are called, they're just shrimp with pincers) and a soon hock. Among other less impressive catch. Well, he did give us a tour of that longkang's full potential.

I got filth on my legs that I didn't manage to scrub off for a day. And I was late for loris' dinner that night...

okay, i think that's it. I'd like to have a movie marathon one of these days. Just kick back, relax, and be a couch potato. At home. With family. Maybe a few friends. Actually, with my family alone and the loris and TGIQ (who is, just to update those who know, now tweezus'  bf and a super aggressive one imho), there will be hardly any more space left on the sofa.

i should get back to work...

I love my work. I love my work. I love my work.
