days of slacking
Ah the reason why I havent been posting is cos there is nothing worth mentioning in my life right now! Unlike ppl who are relief teaching, working (selling jade?! :s), going on holiday/preparing to go for holiday, basically making their lives busy and unavailable, I'm a slacker and proud of it! Bwahaha. I feel so free. But the downside is that I feel like a lazy bum, cos while others are slogging their hearts out, I'm shaking my legs over here =p
Anw i attended a 2-day Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) course over at IMRE just a few days ago, so I'm not entirely slacking away! Wah it has been a long time since I have to sit down, listen (or pretend to), and take down notes! And it is very amusing that a simle course like this actually spanned 2 days haha. And there's actually an EHS test next tuesday yikes! where if I get more than 8 (out of 60) wrong, I fail. And there are 3 stacks of notes to study! Waaah. Since when do we have to take safety courses and tests? (the correct answer is, since some lab worker got infected with SARS while researching the virus a few years back). Their demerit system is cool though. A single offence will give 7 or 10 demerit points, depending on how severe it is. And if you get 20 demerit points (two offences ONLY), you get to do a 10 min safety presentation to your department. 40 points and you get suspended and you've to conduct the 2-day course! And the scary thing is, it's pretty easy to get combo points. Like. IF i step out of the lab with my lab coat cos i just have to transport something to a neighbouring lab, but i carried the flask of chemicals without gloves/spill tray, and i forgot to label it, that's probaby nearly 30 points already and i get to do a presentation! *gulp* if if if.
And I have no idea how much of this I can reveal actually, since they made me sign a contract that bars me from divulging confidential information. Heh this probably isn't confidential. Right? Oh and for those who still don't know, I got my attachment! 300/month, for a period of 2 months, starting 1st feb (next thu) I'm content =D I just hope i don't have to do a presentation or worse, conduct the course!
Anyway, besides that, I really have nothing going on with my life! I've just become addicted (again) to fanfiction, so i've just been crawling around all the different sections there and reading my fill haha. A satisfying, but totally terrible way of spending my time. I keep telling myself there's lots of important things to do, such as practising my pieces, reading imre stuff and studying for the safety test, preparing scholarship apps (OMG is it true that results are out in mid-end feb?), reading newspapers, tidying my room, preparing for tuition, exercising, but my body won't listen! So i just sit stuck at my computer chair reading all those delightful fanfics and wasting my time. ARGH. pull me away from fanfiction.net! And when I'm not there, Im at other terrible sites, like youtube or wikipedia, or watching tv.
