Last day of 2011...

Today, I went with Zech and Enoch to the Friendly's $5 for 12scoops of ice cream thing. It was really good even though we were sure what we were eating some times lol

Then afterwards, Zech had to leave, so Enoch and I decided to go for a ride because everywhere else was closed. We discovered on the ride that if you go straight on Bedford St, you end up at Bedford, then Billerica (with the pretty lights; pic below) then Chelmsford, then Lowell (which was sketchy so we didn't go very far into Lowell).

Crappy Day Yesterday Complaint

The title speaks for itself ><. Everything like went wrong and though half of it was my fault, I'm still going to complain about it lol

1. Forgot umbrella so I was wet waiting for the bus
2. Lots of traffic (I took the 6:53am bus to try to get to work at around 8:00am to set up and run a Western, but ended up getting to work at 8:30am)
3. Gel didn't harden in 5mins when it usually does so when I poured off the butanol, I also poured off the gel, so I had to remake it and ended up being like 10mins late to lab meeting (and the only time my manager isn't 30mins late)
4. Manager refused to wait for me for 2mins while I finished setting up a transfer for a gel (We were going to help another facility in South Boston perfuse mice and were supposed to take the taxi there. I'd never been there before and he wanted me to take the taxi there and find where it was by myself)
5. I got on the wrong taxi (hei ren told me I was on the right one when I asked, but after we drove for like 2mins, another taxi came from behind screaming "That's my fare that you're taking!" at my taxi driver)
6. I got lost when we got there and wandered around for like 10mins before I finally found the place (The main entrance didn't have a sign and when I asked someone, they didn't know where it was. Then when I finally found the main entrance, the place I was supposed to go to was at a side entrance on some street according to a sign inside the main entrance, so I wanderd around until I found the side entrance. My manager never told me about any of this, just the address...)
7. When we were inside, they told us to do a few things to help and my manager was just like "You do it" while he either hovered over their shoulders or sitting around and staring into space. I was obviouslu exhausted from doing his stuff and mine)
8. While blocking my blots, someone had changed some settings on the rocker, so partway, my blots fell from the containers they were in! (Has never happened and isn't supposed to ever happen but of couse, it happened yesterday...)
9. Didn't get any school emails and I was thinking "Good, if I get any emails from schools today, it'll probably be a rejection. Two hours later, I get an email from a school and as I predicted, rejection :( (or rather "Interview Decline")
10. I was about to leave work at 3:50 so I could go back to sleep the day off but right as I'm about to leave, my manager calls me back for a 40min lesson/lecture idk what it was about labeling tubes for tomorrow's dissection... so I ended up taking the 4:49 bus to Central
11. At Alewife, I was the first person in line when the 76 bus came (yay), but the driver refused to open the door (idk why) and was sitting in the bus staring at the increasing line outside for like 10mins...
12. Because I was exhausted from the day, I fell asleep on the bus and missed my stop, so I had to walk an extra 10mins home.

-sigh- What a day!
I hope this horrible day is foreshadowing to a good one where I might actually get accepted to med schools!

Lan's Kimchi Fried Rice (so pretty :) )

Today must be "Eat Korean Food" Day :) So I decided to be creative and healthy with the kimchi fried rice and put it in the lettuce :D
I also had a cup of milk with this, but was too lazy to take a picture of it... just look at the previous picture

Spicy Noodles

I decided to make really spicy noodles (can't believe I put in so much spicy sauce and crap D:)

I prepared myself with a huge cup of milk :)

Change in view of life

So after talking with my mom's friend today, I decided to change my view of life and be more optimistic/confident in myself. I realized that if I'm not confident, it will show when I talk to other people and no interviewer will want someone who isn't confident. I have decided to be more optimistic in life and be confident and HAPPY (o.O) when I talk to other people. I also realized I need to learn to "effectively communicate" with other people and not be afraid to talk to random people. I need better people skills, so my goal is to talk with more people. Talking with others will also improve my "thinking on spot" skills, which will be crucial for interviews and becoming a doctor.

Okay, so new goal in life: Be confident and be more social!

My Pantoum (o.O I think that was the year where Christine/Ellen got me like 3 singing Valentines?)

February 14th, Valentines Day
Different shades of red everywhere.
For singing Valentines, people did pay.
They followed people here and there.

Different shades of red everywhere
Mixed with different shades of black.
For singing Valentines, people did pay,
But vengeance comes with it in the pack.

Mixed with different shades of black
Are different shades of red,
But vengeance comes with it in the pack.
Oh sweet vengeance— out, it bled.

Are different shades of red
For love or for blood?
Oh sweet vengeance— out, it bled.
Darkness comes like a flood.

For love or for blood
Does the singing Valentine symbolize?
Darkness comes like a flood
Spreading through minds and into eyes.

Does the singing Valentine symbolize,
For singing Valentines, people did pay,
The darkness that comes like a flood
On February 14th, Valentines Day?

The Gemstone (I don't even remember writing this story o.O)

The Gemstone

It was just an ordinary restaurant a few years ago, always with its door always opened welcoming customers in. It's a fairly big restaurant, but not many people went there because it was worn out and old. It's like a typical fast-food restaurant like McDonald's or Burger King, just more old-fashioned and dirtier. It's the closest restaurant to my apartment; it takes me around three minutes to walk there. I always went there whenever I felt too lazy to cook for myself and ordered my favorite tacos along with cup of coke.
There was this green gemstone they sold at the restaurant. They thought it would bring them luck if they sold it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the gemstone; it was green and had a picture of a horse engraved in it, tied to a red string. I went to the restaurant for all three meals, just to stare at the green horse engraved on the green jade.
Mice started appearing one day, so the owner bought a cat to catch the mice. Everyone who lived around there knew about the cat. It was a big, yellow cat with round red eyes, always glaring at anyone who passed by the restaurant. It wore a green collar that had a tag with the gemstone I wanted. It hissed and scratched at me whenever I went near it to look at my favorite gemstone. It was taking my gemstone away from me. The cat was mocking me; it’s my gemstone now. But I wanted it.
Few months later, there was a headline in the Boston Globe, “Cat Disappears: Whereabouts Unknown”. The article explained that the cat suddenly disappeared one night and all they could find were an ear and the gemstone of the cat. The police assumed the cat had probably gotten run over by a car and died. No one but the owner was actually sad that the cat died; most people were relieved that the cat was gone. Now that the cat was gone, the gemstone was now mine.
I went there one evening to compromise with the owner about a price for the gemstone and found that the door was closed, but the lights were still on inside. I looked inside the windows, but no one was there. I tried knocking on the door, but no one answered. I could see the gemstone that I had come to the restaurant for, but I didn't see anyone inside the restaurant. I opened the door, went inside and looked around the restaurant for the owner. I couldn't find anyone anywhere, but I could smell tacos cooking in the back.
I followed the smell through a hallway that led to a door in the back of the restaurant with one of those EMPLOYEE ONLY signs taped on it. I opened the door to a room with a desk that took almost the entire room. I looked around, but there wasn't anything on the desk, except for a blank sheet of paper. There was a small, golf ball sized hole in the wall. I looked inside the hole to see if there were any secret doors or anything only to find a familiar round red eye staring through the other side of the hole. I immediately recognized those eyes and fled from the room.
I ran out of the room and shut the door behind me. I turned around and heard a crunch beneath my shoes. I looked down and there was my gemstone broken into many pieces. My gemstone. Was gone. It was mine. Mine. Not the cat’s. Mine. The cat made me step on it. Yes, this was all the cat’s fault. The cat must die.
I took out the Swiss Army Knife I had in my pocket and ran back into the room. I jabbed the knife into the eye I originally saw through the hole, and ran back to my apartment with the remains of my gemstone. My gemstone was gone, shattered into pieces. The corpse of my gemstone was decaying; it was disappearing from me.
Murderer! My gemstone shouted at me. You have killed me and now the cat. You are the murderer. No, not I. I didn’t kill you; it was the cat. Yes, the cat. I took revenge for you by
killing the cat; it was all for you. No, you are the murderer. No. No. I didn’t do it. I am innocent. They are coming for you. The cat wants revenge. I ran from my apartment. They were coming. The cats were coming. I could still hear my gemstone shouting. Run! They’re here for you! “A cliff!” someone shouted. “You’re going to run off the cliff!” I kept going. The ground below me was no more. I was flying across the cliff. I was flying away from the cats. I was free.
