It's a long weekend! 2nd public holiday since I joined NCC. :D
I have 5 days of annual leave this year! And I have just filled in the form for Encashment. I get to exchange my one day of leave to cash. Lol! I'm like a frog in a well! I didn't know I could do it beforehand.
The other 4 days are pushed forward to next year. And I will have 25 days of annual leave next year. Cool right! Maybe I will take less days off, and use 7 days for encashment! :D
I have been neglecting my blog again!
I wanna blog about so many things but really didn't have time to.
As mentioned, I have many hours of tuition these days. I earned $800+ just for tuition this month. U can see how many hours I spent at Joanna's house. Omg.
I wanna blog about my zoo, museum and USS visits soon!
Let me just start with a short entry on my work.
The past week also passed very quickly. We attended a Safety Course for 2 days and had a quiz the following day. The passing mark for the quiz is 70! I didn't really study for it not because I didn't want to but I was too tired. Simba was with me the evening I tried studying and I took too many naps in between and studied only 1/4 of the whole booklet. He was pretty worried that I might fail the test the next morning and get fired because of it. Lols! I did a very last minute study during lunch and I was pretty lucky that the parts I studied came up and the parts I didn't didn't. I think I can pass. LOL!
After a month and a week of work, I wanna say I like work more than school! Yeah!
Work lets me do my learning at a manageable pace and patience is cultivated in the work people while school rushes you through module after module and exams start before you know it, and FYP makes it worse. Cos u have to hurry your pHD student in helping u to get things done even when you are only doing a small part of her project. Like what you are doing is actually her project and she is not as anxious as u are. :D
And u get paid at work and don't have to pay for your medical fees. Lols.
I don't have to print or buy reference books with my own money again and never have to worry about not having enough money anymore. Yeah!
Even got a checklist for what I wanna buy once I get my first/second/third pay. The alarm will sound on my payday. Lol.
My nametag with the NCC logo and my job title! :D
Love it that finally something at work belongs to me.
I never had a nametag while doing part time or internship.
Took photos of my colleagues:
One of my colleagues, Kar Perng.
We have to attend this Hygiene Course and go for mask fitting.
And this is Pui Hann in our office! We played with the "Sign Here" sticker. Lols. Too Bo Liao already!
We went for steamboat together on our payday.
U know u actually spend more time with your colleagues than your family, friends and boyfriend/girlfriend, so building a pleasant relationship with them makes life easier! :D
And I took photos of one of our experiments.
Saw the mouse under red light?
The red light is used to shine on the mouse in order to dilate their blood vessels so that we can give injections on them later on.
This is Chuan Sia, our senior. He was also from NTU, Biological Sciences. He was demonstrating to us on how to tag mice (punch holes in the mice's ears so as to identify them), how to hold them and give them injections. He also taught us how to identify the bully and the bullied. As we placed 4 mice in the same cage, some mice are prone to being bullied. In this cage, there was this 1 mouse that bullys the other 3. So bad! One mouse was beaten up badly on its face and has several bites on its tail. We had to separate the bully and put it into another cage.
He wore a mask as we were told that 50% of the people who handle mice develop allergies to them.
So cute! Love this photo! Mice aren't so scary as I thought they might be. They look like hamsters and are so cute!
