Pooiii....
29th July 2005, Friday
21 days to go to my Japan trip...
Started of the day in a pretty uncomfortable note.
I had to rush for my usual direct transit train and lost a bracelet which I bore a deep sentimental value for since I bought it in Hiroshima back in the year 2000.
It has been a constant companion/accessory of mine as I go for work but it had been tattered for a couple of years now and it took me several attempts to hold it together till recently it's destined to reach the stage in which I could not wear it anymore; thus with my senseless scurrying for the train
Without it wrapping my right wrist, I sort of feel a sense of emptiness...Just gotta look for a replacement in Ueno come August...
During the journey, I felt the effect of my sudden burst of muscular activities. Within a jammed pack train, with my headphones on trapping the heat in my brain, I started to feel nauseous, rapidly losing my breath and starting to lose orientation...
I wouldn't want to pass out in front a group of strangers nor would I wanted to do a "Merlion", staining innocent by-standers with vomit consisting the coffee and instant noodles I had for breakfast...
Fortunately I was sitting down instead of standing up which could be much more detrimental to my conditions; so I took off my headphones, leaned a bit forward, gulped in a consecutive mouthfuls of breath..with oxygen molecules introduced to my lungs and eventually my brain, while the air con of the train carriage starting to chill me down, as I starting to regain my consciousness...what a close shave..phew
It's the 3rd and final symposium day, so more stuffing of buffet teabreaks and lunch..
Beside so we did actually attended a fair share of the presentations by some of the P.Is inour institute, JxMMy kept himself in our lab, mugging himself with work as he usually would with Lush 99.5FM playing from one of the PCs for our equipments, he sure had that ecletic musical taste (not that I don't enjoy the new age songs and nu-jazz been broadcasted by the station anyway as the girls said he would listen to classical symphonies to trance to 80s retro to Mandarin Pop to Hip Hop so on and so forth)
The main talk we wanted to listen to is by Se-Ban himself which was the 2nd last talk of the day at around 4.30pm which by then after teabreak, did recieve lukewarm receptions from a miserable number of audience...
We thought he would focus on the past genomic projects we had played a part on but he started rattling about the Tedrotoxin residing within the skin of Pufferfish and kept blabbering on about that
(after the first part in which he kept mentioning the word "genome" for like 78586476535476576 times)
It was near the end when there would be a slide the PIs would usually acknoweledge the staff member and other aides...
Not only did he not mentioned out lab, he didn't list the names of his faithful lab technicians especially the one slaving well over a decade for his black ass..
He did mentioned a particular one (whom we did not fancy too much due to her poor attitude) we loved to call "Uncle" because she(he?) had such masculine features....
It was rumored that she would buttered up Se Ban (as well as giving him a weekly (or perhaps hourly) dosage of blow-jobs) to attain that "applein his eyes" status...
She got commended for doing the least work while the rest are just been mentioned as "the rest of the staff"..
I felt solace that I am not working under him..if not I would really "poooii" (spit) on that darn neckless head of his...
But the thing that disgusted me the most is his band of loyal servants in which JxMMy is included would carry on slogging for him relentless for not one single pinch of acknowledgement...what a bunch of suckers....
Last evening we had a shock result in "Rock Star: INXS" when not one but 2 formerly hot faves been knocked out at one go...
The band felt that "Butterfly Girl" Heather and Daphna just lacked that X factor to be the chosen one for their lead vocals...despite their heart and soul performance of their songs ..
Jessica being the 3rd one with the least vote went scot-free once more for the 2nd week in a row...
What a twist but it just made the competition much more exciting and tense...Game on guys...
