Day 5 9/6/06 Friday
It rained so heavily in the morning and Shandy and I had to work along the road up to the new Herbarium. It was like really dangerous cos the cars were like 'zoom- zoom-splash-splash' by us. Whenever a huge bus passed by, we will stop first before going on. Shandy had to fold up her jens whenever it rained or else it would get wet, then she complained that she looked like a construction worker. haha! :D Any way when we reached there, we were shivering, the office was soooo cold. Brr! We helped Yujun to fold some paper pockets that were meant to contain the seeds in the general collection. It was rather mundane but relaxed. haha. It felt like we were doing so origami: fold-fold-paste-paste (why am I talking this way all of a sudden?) The time passed quite quickly as we chatted. Then we went up to see if the computers at the Education room were open so we could type the lists for the carpo collection, sigh, but it was closed. So we went to paste the labels on the specimens again. I don't why, but somehow the specimens really smell like stinky dried tea leaves. And though I was still down with flu (for a whole week now!!) and constantly sniffing I could still smell it. When we were done, we went back to the 'origami session'. We were sort of slacking, haha, ;O. After lunch,we started to work on the carpo collection, putting the fruit specimens into those glass IKEA bottles. it was fun! We had kind of a tough time squeezing in some specimens though cos they were in a awkward positionand we just couldn't find the right size! And I, being so chor lok (rough) I tore a few leaves cos they were so brittle, all the water has been taken out of them so they wouldn't rot, and broke some seeds. Sigh! Hope the Hassan woudn't notice. We managed to finish them. Oh, we would pour some nice blue silicon gel in too. Thye looked really nice with the specimens, like blue sand, haha, I thought they were sand at first. Bet some pple will think likewise at first too! I'm not the only one ok! Yup, that ended our day with Shandy doing a little bit of the typing cos Juriah's computer was already set up.
After work, i took a trip down to Borders. Wow! It was huge and had like sooo many things! I couln't resist...so I bought this cute pnk shoes mechanical pencil at $4.oo. wanted to but a pen cos the design was nicer, but I was thinking the after a while the ink would run out, and there wasn't any refill, not worth it so I bought a pencil. iot's so nice. yay! Now I've got a new addition to my pencil cas. welcome, pink shoes pencil!! hee. I'm being silly.
changeme.
