The Missing Toitle

Toitle: An annoying way to pronounce 'turtle'. E.g. Toy-tle.

Where have I been? Around, in the lab mostly, grinding, penetrating and expelling liquids out of my projectile in my hand.
My 2-3 days of penetration with the penetrometer. There's a leaf between the white blocks.
..and the expelling liquids from the tool in my hand... This is freaking tough, because at the end of the syringe there's a filter.. it clogs up quickly simply because my water is very sedimented. They're freaking expensive and I try to squeeze as much water through it before it can't be used.. ouch...
See how hard I tried? I spent a few nights on this.. gosh.. memories I don't wanna remember >_< Can you see the circular imprints the syringes have done to me?

This hand too.. -_- They're a lot more painful than they look. hahaha..

Think research in the lab is just sitting down and doing light, non-physically demanding things? THINK A-FREAKING-GAIN!

And this even excludes the pain of hiking in and out of our hard-to-access sites to acquire samples.. pfft.. On the thesis, it would appear as simple lines like.. "Samples were collected from bla on the bla of July" or even "..the water samples were painstakingly filtered using a syringe through a 0.45 micrometer cellulose acetate filter". Booo..

This was in the newly constructed toilet in the budget Inn we usually stay in Cameron Highlands. De Coleur Inn, I think. Cozy place =p
A knife I got from Cameron's which I plan to murder people with. Hmmm.. It's getting a lil blunt, I think I need to sharpen it.
When my turtle in the lab gets hungry.. Geez, no wonder my leaves I put out to dry lost so much mass.. *spanks turtle*
Playful, vain lil guy ain't he? hahah, must've gotten jealous watching Dodo use her laptop.

Lookie at this..Think it's bad white balance on my phone's part? NO! This cat in Rock Cafe (Medan), Sunway, is really GREEN! Wonder what the heck happened to it.. We named it Chlorocat! ('chloro' as in chlorophyll).

Meow~ Theories: 1. It fell asleep in an air vent for a room where they spray cars. Makes sense since there are so many mechanics and car-mod things around the area. Green paint (Tajang). 2. It's been drinking from/It fell into the algae-infested pond in the cafe, and the algae is gettin stuck/living on its fur (Me). 3. It's been starving and evolved to photosynthesize, survival strategy (Me). It's of mixed parentage. It's father was a plant (Tajang, Tse Yuen and I).

Have I ever posted this?
Dorin's dodolings doodlings
Two girls (hmmm) who decided to play with the vending machine because they were too bored studying for the exams... =p Comelnya. hahaha
Monkeys on random cars in my uni's free carpark. haha
Monkey1: Dude, check out this new hard, short tree I'm on!
Monkey2: Yeah, check mine out! It's almost green~! Now, where's the fruit?

Or...

Monkey1: Shit, this one's locked, how're we gonna get a joy ride like that, dude?
Monkey2: I dunno, maybe we can break a window? There's a dude there (me) pointing his stupid camera phone at us though, hold it.

Mmmm.. makes me want it again. haha, the KL outing =p
These.. are from my first piano book *blush* So cute right? hahaha
Penguins!
Awww...
Hmmm... not so cute anymore.
Shy jumper at a pet shop. I forgot what it's called, this jumping rodent.
Another shy lil animal =p
Wahahahahaha =p It was alive! And when it's friends trampled it.. it continued sleeping -_-
These squishy lil balls of fur.. tsk tsk..
During the Singapore trip =p
L-R: Sis, Aunt, Uncle (no, Aunt and Uncle are not married) and Mom.

Hmmm..
Don't you think he's actually got quite feminine features?
Weirdo
Throughout the entire photoset, he was waiting for (I forgot who) X to pass him the phone to talk. pfft..
My attempt at literature review which I wrote on the lab's whiteboard as my status.. which Somebody doodled and.. ah well
Someone's lil feet not reaching the ground? Teehee~
You won't believe this, it's a whole band of POLICE on stage playing songs very adeptly. Songs like Hotel California, Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo de Xing etc etc. They weren't even chinese >_< again ="p" pictures ="p" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXoOefADrag8VJmJ2D29Ug5UCWfq_n_GbfMyqZ2cEjV8bgmRcUKhoUmXV4DEUAIE6gSNi50Dq1jJT9D4ItBnay25G-oVB4_4aiMbFN_dS0Lhvf5ubPOqjpEI85O1ksJFeVlAtCTxXBOxQ/s1600-h/DSC01512.JPG">Uncap all these (with the help of Tze Wei and Michael, thank you very much), wash them, dry them, acid wash them, dry them again and cap them all T_T You have no idea... no idea at all.
Yes, I had to hunt for big funnels to aid rainwater-collection. This picture was taken to celebrate my success in finally finding enough of them, I had to hunt more than 6 or 7 lil sundry shops, which seem to stock a few, but never many of them. Still much better than them overrated Carrefour, Giants and Juscos, pfft.
A new addition to my car.. Two actually, the other one's smaller =D I know it's gay, but come on, I go to Cameron's so much I think I really should make my car represent it better.
Taken in Poing's house in our recent game night (Poing came and left, aww) using her very shiny table =D Jac and Mich, the balls, always seen together.
This was in Niah in my recent Niah-Miri trip, more to come when I get pictures. Tony and I were the 'macho bbq men' who set up the fire and cooked em for our lucky ladies =p Macho Man Jo got aching hands the next day for fanning the fire too vigorously tho =_= Because we didn't really have a nice object to fan with, lousy flimsy cardboards, breaking tray, newspaper etc -_- Gotta thank dodo and family for preparing stuff for this bbq (and the whole trip) though, really nice of them =D

In Miri, the night before I returned with a hangover in the plane. I drank quite a bit to get high because I don't feel the happy highness coming in, guess I overdid it. haha.. For once I looked in the mirror and saw I was turning RED! I was kinda happy cuz it never usually happens, so I took two pictures, what a camwhore. hahah
Camwhore indeed, yikes >_< "Blight Light" in Redbox, Curve. Hmmm.. BRIGHT LIGHTS, COME ON
Guess what's that? It's like a sausage, with crushed leaves inside. Sonja's idea. A brand new pair of pantyhose and some leaves inside to be crushed..

Sonja: So this is what researchers do after hours huh, playing with pantyhose and all.. haha
Me: *awkward* mm hmmm..
Sonja: hey, don't worry, they won't catch us at this hour.
Me: -_-"

Just random pictures accumulating in my phone before I get the pictures for my trips back =p
