I know i've been very quiet.. yup....

i have been very busy with my histology..

and i have been stressed out these few weeks..

ye la.. start dengan i kena copet tuh... things gets bad la....

paling tidak pun, mentally

histology was not going well....my technique in slide preparation was not good.. so in the end i kena buat balik...waste of a lot of time betul...

and the heat and rain pulak... buat i rasa sangat tak selesa... macam dalam steam room masa siang.. tapi bila malam.. sejuk sesangat...

and bila sejuk.. pain kat my knee ni start to exaggerate la....

and worse... i started to have neck pain.. and sometimes headache..

and i can only attribute this to one factor.... XYLENE..

ye la, for the past 2 weeks.. i've been dealing with toluene almost daily.. sure i pakai mask,.,,, tapi rasanya ada gak yg terlepas n masuk dalam my respiratory system.

tapi starting this week... things have been changing ..

i finished all my slides.. and they all turned up beautifully..

last night, i showed the slides to Dr Jirarach.. and she was very impressed....

and i also noticed some very good observation in many of the slides

1. i found that there are more Kupffer cells in the liver of frogs in contaminated sites as compared to reference sites...
2. i found uncharacteristic black/brown pigmen in atretic ovary of frogs in contaminated sites as well
3. i found what looks like an infllamation in one of the kidneys of frog in contaminated site
4. i found an uncharacteristic clump of cells among normal kidney cells... very unusual density and number, with some white blood cells interspersed... which i might interpret (albeit wrongly) as cancer cells in the kidney of contaminated frog
5. and in a mature testis, i found a lot of fully developed sperms... and also two ova....hehehehehe.. did i just stumble upon a hermaphroditic frog.. matila katak fefonen....Dr Jirarach was very excited about this...

and that's not all jugak...

I am actually going to Hong Kong for the 16th International Congress of Comparative Endocrinology at Honh Kong University...

but mrasalah registration fee is USD350 untuk student...but my advisor insisted that i register.. and my abstract has been accepted... so i'm going there on June 20th sampai june 27th.

and yesterday... i just got an e-mail daripada the Prof Fred Leung (the organizing committee chairman) saying that my abstract have been selected by the committee to be given the 16th ICCE student/post doc award... valued at HKD2800 (around USD350).. best sesangat kan...

and also yesterday.. i had a talk with Dr Noppadon about the progress of my research... and he was very pleased.. in fact his wife, Dr Jirarach said that "if only the other students would work as hard as you sham... they should look at you sham"

and he answers some of my worries about skeletochronology and vitellogenin (both i have yet to do..)..and last night's session really clears my my mind...

so today.. I am happy.. and also i have to mention that i am happy that Kris Allen has won the American Idol...yeayyyy

so what will i do today... welll... hari ni tak hectic sangat...

1. settlekan yuran punya hal ...apparently KPT dah bayar yuran kat my institute... phewwww lega
2. see Dr Wichase untuk confirmkan method for skeletochronology.. i hope to start it next week
3. gi semayang jumaat la....
4. cari souvenir untuk Shahril, Liza and Arissa.. depa dah nak balik mesia
5. kalau ada masa.. jumpa si Arimi.. dia datang sini hari ni
6. then gi konsert kat Thailand Cultural Center.. apparently ada artis brunei, filipina, thai.. and also from malaysia.. sape lah agaknya artis malaysia tuh ye... harap-harap azharina ada la...
7. mlm ni tido kat umah si shahril... sebab esok kami plan nak gi Bueng Chawak kat Suphan Buri...

ok itulah aje hapet i kali nih...

sekarang ni dah tak pening dah

p/s i dah beli kamera baru..hehehe.. yg murah je lah.. yang lama tu dah semi-kong dah

hehehehehe
