Gossip panazzz.....HF LIVE and Exclusive!!!

Alhamdulillah...nampaknya my facial surgery went well :) Tak percaya, lihat wajah terbaru saya kat bawah.

Dengan pakej macam ni, bersemangat lah sikit I nak lariskan HF Live yang sedang mencanak rating tertinggi. Awwww.....mai mai mai sini cheq nak gossip. Ada gossip panaih...punya....walau pun muka macam Ladi Gaga, tapi I ori tau..

Ok, bagi yang tengah conpius dengan entry ni, sila check entry Nurul yang lama ni. Klik. Itu entry tentang hasil kajian beliau tentang "mengenali cita-cita terpendam anda". Comel betui...

Ok HF nak ucap sangat yang korang semua beruntung dapat baca entry ni sebab ini adalah siaran pertama HF Live dan Exclusive!!!! No abusive occayssss....

I sebenarnya sakit hati sangat dengan sorang mamat tu. I ingat I sorang ajer yang pakar main sembunyi-sembunyi sorok-sorok rahsia. Yer lah...I dulu lagi 4 hari nak disunting orang...ops...menyunting orang baru I buat pengumuman. Dan I boleh tengok lah semua orang dok drop jaw...terkejut.

Tapi mamat tu aderlah dia nak Bertunang dulu baru nak buat official statement. Makan hati aiii....padan muka I, baru I tau, masing-masing sekarang dah pandai nak kontrobesi dengan I.

Tapi tu bab mamat. Itu cerita dah suam-suam kuku.

Ni ada satu lagi cerita panazzzzzzzzzz punya. Cerita aweksss pulak.

Sakit hati punya tahap, I ambik pen cucuk cucuk jantung panda bear I nih, lansung tak terasa tahap tak sakit jantung I (faham tak I buat lawak kat sini).

Tup tup...tak ader angin goncang, tak der tanah runtuh......turun hujan lebat bawa berita rahmat. Sempoi dok ada.....dia nak NIKAH terus. Kelasssss...kau maria.

Eeeee...geram I bila I tau yang gangs Foxy Gurls semua dah tau berita sensasi ni....tunggu I jumpa nanti I kasi cili semua orang.....

I geleng-geleng kepala. I tercabar tau, sebagai seorang penggosip terkemuka, I antara yang paling lambat sebarkan kisah nih.....nampaknya I kena sentiasa buat self-retrospek diri sendiri. Muhasabah diri sendiri...kenapa I masih gagal menjadi penggosip terkemuka.

Tapi apa pun, I doakan semua mamat dan minah yang I sebut tu semua bahagia sehingga akhir hayat.....

Mak dah lenguh nak type bahasa abusive begini....Ciow cin cawwwwwwQ

Trip to Terengganu: Update

Salam BTB members..

Everyone's been asking about the Terengganu trip at the end of this month, I just had to put it up here for info:

For now, yang akak tahu Yati & Sitot tak dapat cuti. Jadinya, diaorang akan bertolak ke Terengganu on Friday, 23rd December, lepas kerja. They are still debating whether they should drive up to KT, or take a flight. Sitot akan balik semula ke KL hari sabtu tu jugak, Yati will be staying until..?

Akak tengah buat appointment untuk jumpa Dr. Jalal that same Friday kat Kuantan, So my trip to Terengganu might start a little earlier, around Thursday evening? Pura start cuti hari Jumaat, so I have to wait for her to get off work first on Thursday. Ann akan convoy sekali dengan akak, anyone else wanna join us?

Cadangannya ialah semua yang dekat KL meet in Kuantan by Friday night, and then convoy ramai2 ke KT Sabtu pagi. Er, Majlis Nurul pukul berapa ek? we should be there around 12pm if we move by 8am, no? Is noon too late?

Pojan & family, Luppi and Mun, what are your plans? Transport wise, don't think my mom is generous enough to lend me her Myvi this time, so I'm counting on Ann's Viva at this point. Kalau takde gak, mungkin akan sewa kereta la kut. Ann's car can fit 4 people, and since this is long distance travel, I'm sticking to the limit, sorry guys.. :(

Er, Luppi ada kereta tak? ;p

By the way, selain Sitot, how long is everyone else planning to stay in KT? We need to think about accommodations, sebab ni time peak season (it's Christmas!). Kebanyakan hotel tak ada vacancy, dan kalau ada pun, bound to be expensive.. Any suggestions? We need to do this soon.. lagi dekat tarikh dia, lagi susah nak cari tempat.

Kalau tak, kita camping je la ramai2 kat pantai Batu Buruk tu.. Tengkujuh be damned! XD

That's all for now.. did I forget anything? Please give me your feedback ya.. ciao! ~.^

Gotfather ada Request..

Koraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang... *versi terlebih manja ngada-ngada lemah lembut giler %#&@*

Apa kata kita pi cuti-cuti ramai-ramai ke Terengganu hujung tahun ni? Lama tak gi KT.. :p Bagi yang kat KL bley la convoy, ala2 rombongan pengantin gitu.. ;) yang dah sedia kat Pantai Timur tu pandai-pandai la sendiri turun.. :p

Honestly, I need a break.. Come December my Masters will end, and so will my official relationship with FRIM. Like Pergau, I need some 'mind clearance' period before I make a crucial jump for my career. It's a hard decision, and having you guys around to bounce ideas off of would be helpful. Besides, it's a lot more fun when we're all gathered anywhere else but KL..

I PROMISE I'll try hard to make it this time.. please?? (=___=)

Er, also..

Akak nak suggest trip ni around time Christmas - New Year gitu.. Banyak cuti, and definitely banyak events! *wink wink*

Lemme know whatchu guys think! ^^

Chocolate affairs

Jejari lentik milik siapakah?

Ann menyembunyikan hasil tangan Dr. "Not-bad".

and finally, Azkiya.

Tolong benarkan saya berbahasa English di sini.

Please allow me to write this piece in English.

How's everyone? I hope that each and everyone are fine and enjoying life at the fullest, no matter how happy or bad your days. Believe me, God always work clandestinely. Today you might be getting a strawberry candy, or maybe a cut of cheese cake for the other day.

I have to admit that I was really taken aback with all of the members of this blog. I was expected that someone will come out with a fancy entry, or perhaps short memo for my birthday, however my dreams availed me nothing.

Mark my word - was.

Later, I realized that wishing birthday isn't reliable anymore for me, as in I didn't bother to wish or remember anyone's before, not even my mother's. I am sorry. Frankly speaking, I only remember Lutfi's and Arshana's birthday (Lutfi was born 2 months after my existence, and Arshana is an Xmas girl).

I am Virgo. Darn the bimbo side of me.

Could you please help me to remember everyone's birthday?

Isma X/X/1984

Yati X/10/1985

Setoot X/X/1984

Azhane X/X/1984

Kak Opie X/X/198?

Nurul X/7/1984

Arshana 25/12/1984

Lutfi 21/11/1984

Did I missed someone in the list? Perhaps not.

Ok, sorry Munirah X/X/1984

By the way, I will be in Kuala Lumpur at the end of this month, and I really hope that we can spend some times to get together.

And those who are really stress with thesis, or research, try to google POCOYO. It kinda therapeutic.

InsyaAllah.

As'kum. Selamat hari raya. maaf zahir batin. Ehem2. Insya Allah saya akan bertunang pada hari raya ke 3. Harap maklum.

Birthday.

Lebih kurang satu sms bunyinya macam ni "Remember, birthday nurul".

Ambil telefon dan call.

Azkiya cakap "Happy birthday Mak Nurul"

Hu hoh hu hok huh heh huh...begitu lah bunyinya.

Neville my boy!

This is total indulgence for us ladies, but since when did Neville Longbottom gets so hot? It's like a case of ugly duckling turning into a fair beautiful swan!

Ati faints.

Cycling

Hi friends!

I just want to let you know that I can now cycle. I can't believe this day finally came. I cycled to lab over the weekend from home, practiced from an hour, and today I cycled back home. Aren't you guys proud of me?

Sorry ye cam poyo skit, but I don't have much excitement in life. So I must share this with the world!!

Trip to Japan

I thought I'd have the chance to chat with the girls on our recent get together, but as always, the Gotfather is forever tormented by family members who can't seem to live without her for just a couple of hours.. (=_=)

Anyway, I actually wanted to have a discussion about Japan with you guys. I've been looking for more info on the trip, when I realized I need some info from you to make this work. I'll tell you right now, planning this one isn't easy. Japan is not the cheapest place to go for a holiday..

But it's a wonderful country worth visiting, and we have a good friend that side who's dying to show us off around! ^^

So, I need you guys to answer these few questions ya:


1. Hangpa interested nak pi dak?

2. Agak-agak bila nak pi tuh? - akak kasi choice..

a. Winter - Jan-March 2012 - maha sejuk, ada snow & festivals
b. Spring - April-Jun 2012 - banyak bunga, musim hujan, festivals (sakura, anyone?)
c. Summer - July-Aug 2012 - Paneh! personally not my favorite season.
d. Fall - Sept-Nov 2012 - Musim daun gugur, ala2 romantik autumn in my heart gitu.

3. Bape korang laghat nak bayar? - Be reasonable.. this is an overseas trip, people.

4. How long do you think we should stay? - takat 2 -3 hari tak berbaloi kut.

5. Air Asia, atau MAS/ANA/JAL/KOA/etc? - Ni ada pros and cons, tapi pilih je dulu..

6. Sebab kita ramai, korang rasa kita patut pakai travel agent tak? Korang kenal ke mana2 travel agent?


That's all for now.. kalau ada apa2 pertanyaan atau pandangan membina tentang trip ni, sila la kemukakan di ruang komen ya. Your participation in this little survey is very much appreciated, tengkiu!


Saya Yang Selalu Terganggu,
Gotfather

Happy Birthday Mun!

Mun, 

We hope you've had a wondrous 27 years and even more glorious years to come!

We are honoured to grow old together with you, my dearest friend!

Love,
BTB a.k.a F.Timber

Salam..

It's been two days since I got back from the Promised Land. I'm a little disoriented; I hope the feeling will go away soon..

To all those who've sent messages asking how I've been doing, thank you very much and I'm sorry for the non-reply.

My entire family has come down with a terrible case of the flu, but I've been told it's a typical occurrence after a trip to the Middle East, so no worries.

Lots of stories, experiences (and pics!) to share, I can't wait to see you guys! :)

Untuk yang lain-lain, Yati nak menyambung kempen Pojan;

Bila korang nak join Facebook? Senang nak plan outing. :p

fenol; molecular weight 94.11

Total RNA extraction Lopez–Gomez & Gomez-Lim. Nak pahamkan method nye ajer dah naik pening belum sebut lagi nak prepare reagents. It’s a manual extraction to begin with and it took about 3 days to get the result. Terpikir dan terus bertanya; why don’t we use the extraction kits instead? Co-sv replied; you will never learn anything. Oh well, actually I don’t give a damn about learning anything. Really... really... wanna finish the labworks.

Minggu pertama di lab baru dah mcm2 dugaan. Selain daripada postgrade students yang ‘berat mulut’ nak berkongsi, perangai undergrade students yang suka bergurau senda setiap masa wpun ketika bekerja ngan EtBr, tiada space untuk menulis apatah lagi untuk duduk rehat di bilik postgrade, makmal yang dibanggakan yuu key emm ini juga tergendala air-cond nya. Semua nya merimaskan!

Paling membuatkan rasa lebih cepat siap lebih baik insiden ketika sedang menyediakan larutan fenol (phenol solution). Puas membelek chemicals depan mata, yang terjumpa hanya phenol in white crystal form bukan dalam larutan seperti selalu. Emm..mcm mana yerk nak buat ni? Tertanya2 dalam hati sambil mata mencari postgrade student yang pernah melakukan method yang sama. Budak baru belajar lebih baik bertanya daripada buat kerja membabi buta. Macam mana yea nak wat solution phenol ni? Student Msc tersebut menjawab selamba; biasanya kitaorg timbang dulu pastu dissolve je la. Belum sempat bertanya lebih detail, dia dah blah meninggalkan.

Otak mula berkira2. Dissolve? Dalam solvent tertentu atau dlm air? Aiseh apsal tak ingat hah ms blaja organic chem. Takpe internet kan ada. Ahah..! Phenol dissolves in water moderately and form two layers. Dengan best nya, fenol berjaya dilarutkan. Timbul plak problem baru, nnt masa nak extract nak amik upper layer or bottom layer? Aduhh..ni yang wat tensen. Istilah budak baru belajar, mencari2 seseorang untuk diwawancara. Err..sorry eh. Lepas larutkan fenol nnt kena amik which layer for RNA extraction? Student phD memandang; lapisan atas. Owhh..thanks. Sedang berkira2 menuang kloroform, Student phD tersebut masuk ke lab. Ehh..you buat apa ni? Cepat je mulut berkata. Phenol solution. Kita tak buat phenol mcm ni maa...it’s equilibrated phenol. We used tris-HCL. Terkesima kejap. What?? Mahu jer mulut bercakap, **** tak kata ia equilibrated phenol, but then erm..tak pe lah, malas nak memanjangkan citer. Student phD tersebut memberi method equilibrated phenol. Agak banyak solution tris-HCl dengan molarity yg berbeza perlu dibuat.

Bekerjasama dengan student MSc yg baru, kebetulan menggunakan method isolasi yg sama membahagikan tugas. Dia sediakan tris dengan molarity berbeza manakala aku mencairkan fenol dlm waterbath. Hati ingin menduga students di makmal ini. Sekali lagi bertanya pada students MSc yang sama. Biasa nya kalo nak cairkan fenol, letak dalam apa? Dia menjawab. **** biasa nya timbang pastu letak dlm botol. Jangan campur dengan air. Lantas, schoot 1L menjadi pilihan di dlm waterbath sambil memasukkan fenol sedikit demi sedikit. Opps.. phenol can caused burn injury if they contacted with human skin. Student phD yang sama datang mendekati. Ehh..you buat apa ni? Ringkas menjawab. Larutkan fenol. Kenapa ehh you wat camni, bahaya maa kalo fenol kena kat kulit you nnt terbakar! Lantang suara nya semua students yang ada mendengar. Perasaan bengang bercampur malu. Annoyed pun ada skali. Bukan nya dilakukan sambil bergelak ketawa tanpa gloves and labcoat. Dalam fume hood lagi. Dah nak wat camne!?

Lantaran kebengangan, keputusan melarutkan fenol dilakukan dengan memasukkan sebotol chemical phenol sekali gus dlm waterbath. Huhh..amik sebijik!!..agaknya jelas terpamer kat muka, student Msc baru berkata. Kenapa diaorg tak bgtau awal2? Ni dah buat baru nak cakap. Hati berkira2 agaknya sebab diorg dah expert dan tak nak berkongsi tapi alhamdulillah, equilibrated phenol berjaya dihasilkan berkat kesabaran. Tapi selalu berdoa agar lebih sabar mengendali attitude students di makmal ini berbanding bebanan labwork itu sendiri.
