"Damn it" to a particular huge lorry driver. It seems that on a good day on Saturday, a bugger driving a big lorry was happily speeding around Fung Yee Ting pass. Why he wanted to use that road when it was quite narrow, i don't know. All i know is that that bugger sped along the road. Thinking that his lorry is invincible, he continue to speed off EVEN when the phone line was tugged by his lorry. What follows is the phone line fell, the pole supporting the line mangled, and happy residence around that place have no connection to both phones and internet.

And one of those resident happened to be me. It took those TM contractors time from yesterday's afternoon all the way till this afternoon to return the communication services back to normal. Another "kudos" to those contractors to take 24 "short" hours to fix the problem. At the end, a happy lorry "bugger" driver who sped off from the scene of crime, a bunch of happy contractors and technicians who took their sweet time, and another happy me who managed to stay away from internet for an entire 24 hours.

Then today afternoon, while watching the exciting Malaysia Open badmintion super series 2008, the screen suddenly went pitch black. Wondering what happen, i band and slap the TV, but not TV problem (My TV is quite sick nowadays). Changed to other channels, same problem.................Astro problem. Just great. I was eagerly following the final match between Chong Wei and Hyun Il. When the reception is back, just great. The match is over. Till now, the bloody results is not even posted on it's official website as yet.

As for my training, i am happy to say that i am finishing it in a week + 4 days. 1 more week in Micro lab and another 4 days in OPD. Unlike in the other departments i had been posted to, Micro is not as easy as it seems. There are a lot of stuffs you need to know, memorize and understand. There are different technique and analysis for different samples under different conditions utilizing different apparatus and materials. Overall, this department is very challenging.

To give you a clearer picture, every morning, i have to take out all the samples incubated overnight. I then proceed to observe what changes had happened, note them down and decide further tests required to identify those microscopic bugger. Easy? Not at all.

Furthermore, the MLT in charge or Micro love to throw everything for you to do, but don't be mistaken her for any draconian person. She's very friendly and knows when to throw stuffs at you and when not to. The just yesterday, she complimented me =) According to her, almost every trainee posted to the micro department would get sick during the first week. But instead of getting sick, i am still very much alive and healthy =P But that doesn't mean i can take on any bacteria without gloves or lab coats. Bacteria analyzed include TB, in which if i contracted it, i would be very much at home, quarantined for an entire year.

Then just last week, there was another new trainee who joined the lab. She was from UiTM and study Microbiology. She's ok, quite socializable. But the only problem about her is her constant nagging and complaining about being boring about what she was doing. Well, she would have to adapt to it cause i'd experienced it for the past 1 month and a half =X

Life is filled with potholes now, but soon, it would be cemented in mounds =D
