So there, I stayed for a month at the Institute, where I learned of many things...
This is me, looking busy. hahahaha!!! :)
(And yes, those curls are REAL)
And here I am looking at a bacterial smear.
(This was before I had my locks curled)
I learned how to perform various tests for isolation of clinically significant microbes:
This is a set of manual biochemical test for bacteria.
(From L to R: Urease, LIA, TSI, Citrate and SIM)
Breaker: Miss Abigail, please describe the various reactions (practice lang!) hehe :)
This is Shigella flexnerii.
(As seen on Mac Conkey Agar)
Say hello to Vibrio cholerae. :)
(As seen on TCBS agar.)
And of course, I also found new friends and colleagues...
Here's sweet Miss Abby, who I learned to love like a sister. :)
And naughty Miss Rose, who's been a Registered Medical Technologist long before I was born.
I really had soo much fun, and I also learned a lot of things, and knowing that Lady Luck is on my side, I can only think of one thing:
"Thank You soo Much, Papa Jesus!"
:)

I hate the cold. I'd rather wake up sweaty than shivering. I'd rather walk on a cloudless, scorching summer day than in the rain.
Preferences, of course. Weakness? Maybe.
It's so cold I don't even need a fan at night and I still wake up with my skin prickling from the cool damp air. But I look at this as a chance to train myself against the cold.
I could use a sheet. Or wear a thicker shirt. But no. I resolve to wear sando and shorts in the house, regardless of the cold. I will learn to love the cold. Even if it kills me... or gives me the sniffles. :P

Just because I feel like baking sometimes doesn't mean I like doing it all the time.
I only bake when I feel like it.
And now is not the time.
My mother is going crazy again. >_>

I wonder if anyone knows or if anyone notices, I like being here, at times. Despite the sudden waves of homesickness occasionally, this distance gives me a sense of tranquillity.
Here, I am left to defend for myself. So I feel in control of everything, from those little things like managing the house chores, and managing people in any tasks, to big things like making sure I am on the right track to my bright future. I feel grown up and nothing else can stand in my way - even if there is, I can easily sweep them off with a trusty ol' broom.
I never liked having people telling me I am wrong, because I don't like to lose (including losing face). Instead, I would prefer if I were to discover my mistakes on my own because I like solitary learning. And one more thing, I don't like people telling me what to do, neither do I like telling others what to do. I can only have the elders whom I respect to give me orders.
Subconsciously, I have built my own comfort zone and shut myself in there, not wanting to change anything or even to budge. Getting out makes me feel threatened, and I might just lose the sense of security that I perpetually give myself.
I admit - I am a control freak. I like being in an arm's length to everything. To control is my nature, and letting myself to be controlled is a form of submission which not many could recognise. This is the way I have been for a long time, and it took me too much time to realise this.
When I sense that I am losing control, I will lose my composure and I cannot gather my thoughts. I feel helpless, and would just eventually end up quiet, just too quiet.
And that is when you see a hiatus here.
Life paced too quickly of late, and it is only these few days, everything has taken a breather and slowed down, giving me much room to pick up the pieces. Everything in my head is a huge mess and I no longer know how to sort it out.
And oh, this semester, I shut myself out of all the matters regarding the heart. I took everything lightly, not wanting to think so much. I don't want to build anything today when I know it will not sustain tomorrow.
If you think this update is not juicy enough, it's time for you to keep a lookout for me at Facebook - I frequently update there, through wall posts.
