* exactly one week ago i applied for a vacancy at freddo. for those of you in msia, it sort of our favourite gelati/ice cream shop on lygon. at first i thought i was supposed to go for an interview or something but apparently there were so many applicants and the owner just said to leave our resumes and they'll look for those who have the most suitable timing for the job. so i waited with anticipation but one week have passed and not a phone call from them. well, can't really blame them cause probably my resume had nothing that looked impressive? though she did say that we could give her a ring if we didn't hear from her but i'm too chicken to call.
* two weeks have passed since we were told about our biotech assignment that worth 5% and it's going to be due exactly one week after today. and the progress? just started finding materials this week and have been working hard to put the information in place. it's just like trying to incorporate the pieces of a puzzle. started off wanting to do something about a cow hormone called bovine somatotropin that increases the production of milk then ended up with the topic of biopolymer. it's a polymer made up of biological materials which is biodegradable. then now, going to use that information about biopolymer in the field of tissue engineering. any idea what's that about? somehow, those clever people in the biotechnology field came up with a biopolymer scaffold that can be impregnated with all sorts of molecules, enzymes, etc. to enhance the healing of a bone injury. so the purpose of using a biopolymer is so that when the body is in the process of recovery, it has a support to help and speed up the healing and the biopolymer scaffold will be degraded down by enzymes by the time the body generates new cells. tada! so what you think about that? tissue engineering versus cow's milk production?
* the weather had been very cold for the past few days but too bad it didn't snow in the city. we in melbourne complaining about the cold weather while those back in msia complaining about the haze. i guess being frozen is better than inhaling polluted air. i do hope that the haze back home disperse faster or else more people will fall sick especially those with asthma or any other types of respiratory problem. i also heard that there was hail in subang! how come it never hailed when i'm back there? was it due to the cloud seeding process? i remember how my mum or dad always uses the expression "if u actually did bla bla bla...malaysia also will snow already".
* besides, i think this cold cold weather is making me more lazy or is it just me finding reasons not to be hardworking? it's too cold to study because my hand will freeze and i can't write nor should i be able to type. and yes, my hands are also half frozen now. solution? stay in bed with notebook on lap to keep warm! *yawnz* there i go again, feeling sleepy as usual. adios!
