Elegance

Newly bought short boots! Kind of high heels but easy to walk.

General Cleaning

Today we had general cleaning and spent whole day.

The laboratory has a big refrigerator, and it's quite old and dirty. There were some dead bodies of centipede and spider that I had to clean!! I hate even seeing them.. small insects with too many legs! It's gross and causes me goose bumps.

Another thing, I threw away a bag of barley that was already analyzed. It is supposed to go to the feed production company and to become food for cattle. But still, it is grain, clean and edible, one of the staple food in the world. There are millions people who don't have much to eat, on the other hand, I'm throwing away this amount of barley because it was just for analysis. It made me feel guilty and sad. At least I'm one of them to be blamed.

Dreaming of Traveling

Just counted and found that I have 29 Singaporean friends!

I must go to Singapore to see all of them...

Very good weekend

My friend from California and I met up again in Fukuoka! We went to disaster prevention center and Fukuoka tower.

In that center we were able to experience earthquake magnitude 7. The table was literally shaking and moving vigorously and we almost lost balance. It was really scary and I couldn't imagine what if it's real... One of the staff was noticed us speaking English and gave us detailed lecture on fire extinguishers. He studies English and Korean to guide foreigners and was good in both languages. He is really enjoying his second job there after retiring as a firefighter.

We went to Fukuoka tower but just looked around the souvenir shops. I thought we don't have to go up to the top since he said that he'd been there. But it turned out that he has been there but never on the top. We didn't have enough time so we agreed to come back to the tower next year. ah..I feel sorry for not asking him.

And we went to a Japanese restaurant where they serve sashimi fresh from the aquarium. Squid sashimi was very fresh! Its legs were still moving... But it was really delicious, soft and fresh. I hope he was able to experience something that looks Japanese.

One day was quite short for us but it was so nice to hang around with him! Sadly he's leaving tomorrow, but I hope we can meet again. Wonderful holiday! There's something that you cannot buy with money. That's what really fulfils our heart and makes you happy.
