Today starts the 4-day holiday. Hmmm..., why? This is because Tuesday is Mid Autumn Festival and Monday is adjusted to holiday so that people can have 4 days straight holiday... So nice? But we have to work on next Saturday... Enjoy first and work later...
Actually very weird, Taiwanese likes to have barbeque during this festive season.., everyone is fond of having barbeque gathering.., lots of pollution being created during this season and don't know how many forests being ruined for the charcoals. This is not a usual Chinese custom during Mid Autumn, normally we just enjoy having the mooncake, pomelo, water chestnut and Chinese tea under the romantic moonlight. Culture of playing with candles and lanterns in Malaysia is not practicing here. According to my friend, there were two food companies highly promoting the barbeque sauces around the Mid Autumn season more than 20 years ago... (maybe by hard selling or what), so having barbeque during the Mid Autumn Festival has now became the local culture and practise here. Oh like that la, so next time you can try to "create" some culture practices so that people will remember you forever...
I am staying in the lab to finish up the IFA slide preparation. Initially plan to do another badge of experiment, but the cells just grow too slow making not enough material to start with.., my cells also need holiday and don't want to be manipulated is it? So i will reseed the cells later.
Happy belated birthday to Wai Har, Happy birthday to Kah Weng aka old folk and Aik Seng for today and tomorrow... What a coincident, three of them are in Singapore...
There was a mild earth quake around 2.25pm this afternoon. Bottles in the lab were shaking... :p
Sunny said An Lee will be arriving this afternoon, but her flight delayed for 5 hours at KLIA, she was boring waiting inside the aircraft (not boarding gate oh..) and only arrived at Taiwan around 2000hrs, so we cannot go for dinner tonight. Ha, don't know how she looked like now... :p
