Okay so I decided to take photos of my PSP.
Nice yes? definitely worth the amount of money I spent for it.
Yes this is an absolutely random picture I took before my microecons tutorial- I was all alone and with a bunch of amateur first years... but you would agree that I have a slight flair for photography yes? I like this photo=P took it with my phone on Macro mode. Yes my phone has macro mode on it. Now be jealous. =)

I've been feeling rather out of touch lately. Rather disconnected you know? Its like work-home-eat-sleep-repeat cycle. I mean sure there's the occasional outing here and there, and also the rather-so-frequent procrastinating, but hey, life's not just all that is it?
Before I sink into a whole post about life and it's philosophies, let's drag me out of it.
I've got my new shiny PSP!
I would take photos to show it off and all, but that's just so...everyone-like. haha. As in like everyone does that these days, I can't be bothered to follow that trend. Ask me for it if you wanna see it=) I'll get you hooked on LocoRoco like Maxine
I was doing some house/room/apartment hunting earlier for Australia. A little early, I admit, but it's better safe than sorry no? So anyway, while scouting around I saw this house with four rooms going out for rent only on the 7th of July- and I thought, DAMN that's like pretty close to my arrival date! to me it looks awesome, $175 per room per week - full utilities taken care of plus its fully furbished. I emailed the agent already. I-WANT-THAT-HOUSE. I'm gonna haggle people into staying with me. Oh man I really want that transfer request to come through- and my VISA application and everything.
Oh yea. April 13-15 is the PC Fair! I'm planning on an excursion there-gonna bag myself a new laptop, so anyone's whose interested in coming along, just say it! Mind you, I won't be driving all the way to KLCC- I'll be taking the LRT there.
Now thinking about it, I'm kinda worried over my transfer application. I mean I shouldn't have any reason to be worried, my average is well above credit, but...its just this thing niggling at the back of my head. Plain old keat-pessimism I guess. That said, I'll feel all the more confident only when I get the transfer confirmation safely in my email inbox.
List of things I want before flying(I hope) off to for like, Aeons. ( or two years. same thing.)
- PSP Check!
- Laptop Check!
- Cool leather jacket from Zara
- New earphones for ipod
- 4GB memory stick duo
- new batteries for my camera
Don't know how I'm suppose to save money for all that junk. Prioritize I suppose. Oh well.

I present my latest want.
It was really a spur of the moment thing- I was actually thinking of bringing my whole PS2 with me, but then I thought, " Wouldn't it be easier if I got the PSP instead?" much easier to carry around, can use it when I'm on public transport and I can use it as a source of entertainment.
I didn't really think of getting it initially since I thought all the games played on the PSP had to be original- but I have found out otherwise. Games can be downloaded and played on the PSP. Which basically is even better than PS2 games.
The PSP package is currently selling for around 800 bucks. I'm really thinking about it..might pop over KL this week to get one =P

* blows the dust away*
I've been pretty inconsistent with my blogging as of late haven't I? Kind of lost the touch of updating every two to three days, although I'm not too sure why- but I came out with a fair bit of excuses, so hear me out:
- Poor internet. Yea. My internet fluctuates even more than my weight used to. Not very useful when I want to upload and post photos. Even before I begin posting I already get pissed at the internet- hence neglecting everything that has to do with it.
- Laziness? Haha. I suppose you COULD grill me for being lazy.
- Work. During the holidays I was working 9-5/6, 5 days a week- forgive me for not posting or making the effort=P
Anyway. Instead of coming up with more excuses, I suppose I could post a proper entry. I've been wanting to post this entry for quite some time now, but I never got around to doing it..an entry about my workplace in MUST.
After attending the microbiology labs in the new semester, I really feel the difference between the two. I was really unfamiliar with the amount of space i had to work with, and the ever-lack of equipment in our Monash labs.
Look at that. If you peeked to the top right corner of the picture, you would notice that there are FIVE micropipettes for me to use. FIVE! As compared to the ONE micropipette allocated to two/four students in Monash.
If you observe the white container with a translucent cover, you would see that it contains pipette tips. Pipette tips that should be used just once before throwing them away, as compared to the one pipette tip we are allocated in Monash for several hundred cycles.
Nope, nothing to complain about here. The three microcentrifuge tubes at the bottom are bacterial E. Coli cultures i prepared with an inserted vector for storage in the -80 fridge, something they call 'stock keeping' since the cultures are taken out to be grown when the inserts are needed. That yellowish liquid in the beaker is LB broth.
See! pipette tips of different size( the blue ones in the blue container) all MINE to use too. Neutralization solution- that is used in one of the plasmid extraction procedures. The three empty bottles were bacterial cultures.
Centrifuge machines! Both can be configured to centrifuge microcentrifuge tubes or falcon tubes for large cultures. The one on the left can have its temperature configured to present a favourable environment during centrifuging. The one on the right is a normal centrifuging machine.
Haha. I suppose scientists still retain some sense of humour after all.
It has just occurred to me how much of a nerd I am. While people post elaborate pictures about their escapades to various clubs with hot girls and smoky surroundings, I muse and post pictures of labs, and talk about how wonderful they are. Oh Yea. This will do wonders to attract the opposite sex all right.
