life must go on as usual...

Just lost a loved one - my grandfather, on the 23rd of Aug, when he fell down n died instantaneously...the doctor confirmed the cause of death as due to congestive heart failure n ischaemic heart disease..easy said..heart attack..my whole family will be holding several sessions of prayers recital these few days...including today itself- in remembrance of all our loved ones who have gone...

Latest news - will be posted to Gleneagles Hospital Stat Lab coming wednesday, but have to come back several times to ARC lab to do late duties...due to insufficient staff capable of doing the late duties...will be buying lunch for all my colleagues as a token of appreciation for all the times they have taught me new things in the lab...

On a lighter note... watched 'The Simpsons' movie...it was fantastically hilarious!! expect to laugh off your seats!! :) but the content was thin though...the humour was almost in every second of the show... great cartoon to relax your minds n destress...!!

gonna miss my frens!! waah!!!

Recent news at my workplace proved quite devastating to my colleagues esp my boss ( my lab manager )....Apparently my lab operations manager have decided to post me to gleneagles stat lab next month onwards...it was within short notice and everyone- including myself- was shocked with the sudden decision to train me in areas other than microbiology... We were almost like family now...colleagues turned frens...sacrifices made together along treacherous journeys involving projects n crazy workloads...crazy jokes we exchanged...will be missing them lots..( esp our snack wardrbe..hehe..)..thank you to all the people in micro lab who have made my life more colourful each day, n the lessons I learnt along the way were invaluable...will be working harder in gleneagles hospital so that I can come back to arc lab by next yr itself....missing u guys lots!!!! muah!!!


On a personal note...the last few days when my hubby went away for national service was painful...can't imagine how it will be like wen he's working or required to go overseas for other commitments n stuffs....

my current read is regarding Forensic Controversies involving Napolean to O.J Simpson in the last 2 centuries...a review n thorough brainstorming of all previous cases not really solved yet...til today itself...interesting book to pick up, esp for forensic enthusiasts like me!! :) looking forward to catch 2 shows - The Simpsons & Harry Potter!! might be buying advanced tickets for Saturday show or someting....n need to brush up on my running slots starting nxt week...to prepare for my 5k race in Sept!!

spent my weekend relaxing around...

My weekends were used to relax as much as I can with loved ones as I'll have no more off days in the coming 2 weekends....went for a Thai herbal full body massage ay Aura Royalis...( read: my first time going to a spa..)..to destress stiff muscles all over my body...it was fantastic! the ambience was super relaxing that I almost fell asleep nearing the end of the massage...sigh...will be looking forward to another massage appointment nxt month together with a full facial....maybe with a friend...

Spent the rest of the day slacking around with my hubby, n went to East Coast Park to enjoy the scenery of the beach...we actually managed to catch 2 apaches in the sky, hovering low over the sea, practicing for the National Day Parade...it was cool but too far away to capture an image....Will be looking forward to watch Harry Potter n The Order of The Phoenix ( read: all great seats are always taken up nowadays, considering the show just opened)...may have to read the book all over again cos I kinda forgotten who the different characters were...lol...

wow...it's July already?

The month of July--time flies so fast-- n there's never an end to the things I have to do...it's getting more n more stressful @ work as I'm taught to perform ANA (anti-nuclear antibody) n entrusted to do it on mon,wed n fri...yikes...but given 2 days off on the weekend! yeah!


Went to an animal fair last Sunday with my mum n sis, but missed the cat contest, which was the first part of the fair...( went a bit late )...but managed to catch a dog show...the animals left to be adopted (a cat, some bunnies...the dogs were already taken)...I was surprised to see so many animal lovers there...obviously the response was good...n I amused myself by watching other ppl's pet dogs...so cute! donated some money to the cat welfare society n bought some cute bookmarks they made themselves...

Had a small pot luck party with a bunch of close frens cum colleagues at lunchtime ( on Friday, the only day I don't eat lunch with my hubby cos he needed to pray..) spaghetti was the main dish served with cheesecake n fruit juices...simple but enjoyable n warm...of course...we're always noisy wen we talk...hehe..relieves some stress from work..

My current read for the month is 'The Islamist' by Ed Husain...an autobiography by someone who used to join radical Islamists...but turned over a new leaf in time to share an eye-opening experience with others- regardless of age, sex, race or religion...great book...!!

Registered for the upcoming Shape run on September...a race specially for ladies only (17 & abve)...but signed up for 5k only instead of the Women10K run upcoming October...reason being the former falls before fasting month n the latter falls during fasting mth...( read: a month whereby Muslims practice abstinence from any food or beverage..as well as lust n anger...in remembrance of our prophet n the poor as well as a form of personal cleansing of sins)...will have to try my best to slot some running times with hubby after work...the gift packs are great!
