Back To Basic

Category : Friends & Kin, Intern's Life, Walk & Run

so, i have been working for one week now, and i can already conclude that working life is never a bed of roses. seriously.

on my second day to work, i already experienced politics. oh gawd.

people tends to take us interns for granted u know. they thought that they as permanents are larger than life liddat. there’s one woman, emm let’s call her dai ka jie, i dislike her since day one. she banters so muchy. if i bring my lappie to work (to online during breaks and occasion toilet breaks) , i think she thought im bragging and trying to sloth. that’s why i don’t bring my Josh to work daily anymore (hence da lack update and replying comments and blog hopping). im especially annoyed when we are in da same lab and she keep crapping away rowdily. can u purleeese shut da fark up. i so wanted to say this but i don’t have da balls to do it. or i will have da most miserable seven weeks ahead. :( but u know what, i think we have antidote to that, whenever we shoot her with lotsa questions, she won’t be that gabby anymore. hehe.

kikidalala[1]

glad that kikidalala is here with me, if not, for sure i will be dolorous as if im a widow every day

we gave everyone from da research department an unique cantonese moniker, so that they donno who da hell are we referring when we gossip. tee-hee. though we are da only two chinese there (oh our louban is a chinese too) but im aware that they might learn some cantonese from hk drama. so to play safe, we call our luo ban, si tao, just another way of saying boss in canto. to play safe u know?

there’s this one lady. good one. she taught us lotsa stuffs. we lurve her so we dubbed her as hou yan (好人, sorta good Samaritan). and da dai ka jie,  食肉菌(flesh-eating bacteria?) and this young gal, mui tao (妹头) who’s only 18 is one of a kind. her emotion is shown on her face. and she doesn’t give a fark to anyone. even dai ka jie. cool one. i lurve her too but once kiki seized her weighing machine and she stared kiki out. her gaze was FIERCE. :S

accommodation[1]

im staying in kampung hutan oil palm farm

aside from work, accommodation wise is okay. kiki and i are staying with an executive of dusun kadayan ethnic. she’s nice…but not her two cats. i have never, never lurved cats even da stupid big head cat (it’s hello kitty in case u don’t get it) da only problem we face apart from stupid cats, nonexistent internet connection and poor communication connection, is cooking. we both are noobs in cooking. no good.

for brekkie and luncheon, we have absolutely no prob. when it comes to dinner time, cham lo…we have to crack our head and ponder what to cook for dinner with our limited edition ingredients, spices, and skill.

we have been cooking every day now to make da full use of stove and kuali. nothing fancy is our motto. we are novice cook. bear this in mind okie! so far, i have fried thrice eggs and fried once veggie. not too bad right? i think im gradually developing an interest in cooking…we have been watching AsianFoodChannel religiously. but da food da chefs cook are ridiculously. using assorted powder like parika, chilli, pepper, mustard, custard, bastard plus another 21343214 ingredients and flavorings for a dish, craziness. cant u just mix and match salt, sugar, pepper, flour, corn flour, condensed milk, bitter gourd, cai sin, fish, prawns, cheese, ice cream, oil, butter, bread, onion, garlic, eggies, emm..what else ar…oh and peanut butter. that’s what i have here la…

and i went medical check up last friday, found out that i have gained 2kilo in one week time, and i have seven weeks to go. 2 x 8 = 16 . shocking and :-S

oily[1]

i actually blame it on canteen’s food. see, so dang bloody oily. da mee halus (which is actually mee hoon) is soaking in oil. i know we have abundant palm oil here, but do u really have to add them superfluously in food as well huh?

and i went grocery shopping at wet market! i have never, never likey wet market. or rather, da foul smell. it makes me loathe whenever im near to it. no offence.

seafoods[1]

i wanted to buy crab so that i can slaughter *evil grin* . but no avail la. :( it was a no-crab-day

fish boat

they sell stuffs on a boat

testtubes[1]

im not gonna reveal where i work. not now at least. manatau later my sitao accidentally read my bloggie then seifo lo :S oh speaking of sitao, he’s a nice bloke. really. but if he smile more, he will be much charmer. cos most of da time he has a solemn face on which makes him unapproachable. no good.

there’s one thing i really likey in sandakan,
