♂ cant believe another one died
It's not a really good day indeed... another rat died during surgery today... and we're not really sure what happened to it... maybe the surgery just took too long.. or perhaps the isofluorane is too concentrated... either way.. ill try pay much much much closer attention to the rat's heartbeat next time..
After that 1st rat... it was lunch break.. managed to have lunch with sofia and su on the lawn near union house today.. been v long time since the last i ate oriental.. and they still taste good as before... try ordering lemon chicken.. and the mix the lemon sauce with curry sauce.. delicious stuff...
When i went back to the surgery.. we attempted to do another one... but it seemed that the other rat was quite resistant to iso.. on the other hand.. the surgery was kinda packed.. and the vacuum suction system seemed to be having some problems... so we ended up postponing the rest for tomorrow... Since i still had about 3 hours.. I went down to the microscopy to take more photographs... it went pretty well.. i'm getting kinda good with the fluorescence microscope...
When i reached home, alga was already waiting... she wanted to use my sis scanner for something... and then we had dinner together while watching lara croft... she seemed to be kinda stressed out...
Mood for today... kinda disappointed about the rat thingy... and getting really worried too.. i have to get some really good data fast if i want to release a paper this year.. but at this rate of 1 rat dying in every batch of 4... it's not good.. i hope things get better in the next few weeks.. before my supervisor leave to europe...
Thoughts... Do you think it's strange that when you try to get rid of something.. or avoid someone.. that particular thing/person.. just keeps coming back.. like a magnet that you can't get rid of... However, when you try.. to get close to that thing or that person.... they always seem to be drifting away...
