I lost my contact on the bus

The weirdest thing happened this morning, as usual, I was taking a nap on the bus on my way to work. When I woke up, I can't see clearly from my left eye. My first thought was that my contact has shifted position, so I took out my mirror and looked for it in my eye. Nope, nothing. So I start checking my cloth, my bags and even my hair for my contact. But I guess it dried out and flew away to somewhere in the bus. So now I am seeing blurry thing from my left eye and clearly on my right, hopefully I won't get a headache. So sad...... :P

Panini machine

I have been wanting to get a panini machine from either William Sonoma or Crate & Barrel for awhile now, but both my mom and Yi (my older sis) insisted that we have one already at home. I kept forgetting to ask them to show me where the Panini machine is until Sat, when I bought bread & cheese & deli meat. Both mom and sister went different direction to get the machine, when they came back, mom was holding the George Forman grill and Yi was holding a grill cheese machine (the triangle one). I guess I never fully explain the concept of Panini to them. I wonder if it is a Wash U thing that I like Panini so much. But in the end, George Forman actually works fine, I guess I don't need a Panini machine after all.

I want pretty earrings

Hmm, don't know why all of the sudden I want really cute cute earrings. It's probably from my NY trip when I saw some turquois earrings, also some coral earrings. I think they are the new fashion this year. The one I first saw near Connie's apartment was really cute but also very expensive. Then I saw some in SOHO (stands for South of Hauston, there is also NOHO), but I didn't feel like bargin, so I didn't get them. Now I kind of regreted and really wants some now. I will go shop around this or next weekend to see if I can find some :)

New BSRB open house

I just went to the new Basic Science Research Builiding open house here at MD Anderson in Houston. It's such a nice building with great equipment and the best animal facility! (Sorry, I am all about the animal facility now since I spent so much time there). The sad thing is that my dept is not moving, but after seeing the floor plan, I understand the reasons behind the department. All the labs that are moving there lost a lot of space compare to what they have now. Although the idea of open lab space and shared common space is nice, there are lots of drawback. One obvious thing is that the radioisotope area is in the corner of one lab, so in order for other lab members to get there, they have to walk right across a lab. I don't think that's the safest way to do it. Anyway, that will not be my problem since I am not moving. But 7th floor below me in my current builiding is moving, so maybe I will get even more space here! Yeah! :)

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the year of rooster! Happy Chinese New Year. I just had hot pot dinner with my family, it's so yummy :) I definetly need to go work out later this week. Now I am waiting for the rice ball desert that my mom is cooking, can't wait!

Food poisoning

I think I have food poisoning last night... About 5 min after dinner last night, I started to feel nausous, and pretty soon my stomach start to hurt and I throw up all the dinner I ate :( The stomach ache lasted until this morning around 9am and finally went away. It hurts throughout the night and I sweated a lot. Andy think it's from the chicken select I had in the airport around 4pm. I don't think it's the dinner my mom cooked, since my whole family had the same thing and the stomach ache came on too quickly. Or it could the cheetos and cherry coke I had half hour before dinner. Hmmm... to many possible causes, but still, I don't like stomach ache.

Cartier Jewelry Exhibition

I am in love with Cartier after seeing its Jewelry Exhibition at the Meseum of Fine Art, Houston. http://www.mfah.org/main.asp?target=exhibition&par1=1&par2=1&par3=201. The design of the jewelry is amazing, needless to say. But the clock design by Cartier, especially the mystery clock, is the one that attract my attention. http://www.roger-russell.com/mysteryclocks/mysteryclocks.htm. This website offers some explanation, but the Cartier one look like it is made from a whole piece of crystal. So I am still in search of how it actually works.


Of Jewelry, my favorite is the Crocodile Necklace, don't you think it looks amazing!

Cartier diamond tiara, my favorite!

I forgot my cell phone today

I left my cell phone in the kitchen before I left for work this morning. It's a weird feeling not have my cell phone on me, the same feeling when you forget to wear your watch. I feel naked :P
