What morning traffic?!

Ok, I realize there is no morning traffic in Houston if you leave my house @ 5:40am! It took me ~40 minutes to go from Katy to Texas Medical Center, I was here even before the Sun comes up. Very sleepy right now... ZZZZ....

I wake up early and drive into work today because I am going to go to the airport to pick up Andy today right after work! :) Very happy right now.... but sleepy also.... I decided I will need to leave the house super early to avoid any morning traffic jam, which means I am in the lab by 6:20am doing work, oh yeah, and writing a post for my blog :P

I have a ton to do a work for the past month or so, it just seems like there are always more work whenever I finish what I was doing that day. I think my boss is trying to have me finish/start a lot of experiment and administrative stuff (since I am also the lab manager) before I leave on 7/15. Hopefully I will survive the next 3 weeks in one piece :P

My dream last night

You know you work in a lab too long when you starting dreaming about lab stuff - and that's me :P Last night, I dream that I forgot to put certain chemicals at the temperature they needed to be and was freaking out... sigh... I woke up and feeling pathetic... oh well....

Good luck to Andy!!!

Ok, this post is a bit late, so I know Andy won't see it until he finish his USMLE step 1 this afternoon ~5pm. But I told him this morning good luck for the exam. I think I am going to be really nervous throughout today, but I know he will do really well :) It's scary to think I will have to take the same exam in about 2 years, yikes...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

I rerally like this movie! It blends action and comedy together nicely, well, more comedy than action. It reminds me of Sahara, the other movie I saw with Tracy. Angelina Jolie is so pretty and sexy. I really don't think she is the pretty type, but somehow, there is something about her that's very attractive. Maybe it's the confidence in her, not sure.... But I definetly think people should go see it.

I don't know how to turn out my bluetooth earpiece

Hmmmm, I can manage all the menu on my new complicated Motorola v710 phone, but can't not figure out how to use the 3 buttoms on my bluetooth earphone to turn it on. Or do I even need to turn "on" the earphone? Ahhhh..... going to visit the Verizon store to have them figure it all out for me.... :P

Funny airline jokes :)

I copied the following joke from Tracy's blog, it's way too funny to not share. :)

>>After every flight, Qantas' pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, & then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots & the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

(P= The problem logged by the pilot.) (S= The solution and action taken by mechanics.)

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except autoland very rough.
S: Autoland not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitudehold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, & be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

My new motorola V710 cell phone, isn't it cute! :) 

New Cell phone

Yeah, my new cell phone is coming tomorrow through FedEx :) I have to wait because it's on backorder. Verizon is offer them with a $50 manufacture rebate. And with me signing up with a new 2 years contract, I pay $49.99 right now and with the rebate, free! So tonight is the last night I will have to deal with my bad battery old cell phone, then tomorrow is hello! New cell phone :) Very happy!

quick updates

ZZzzzz... I am so tired right now, so just a quick post before I head to bed.

So I went to visit Terry and Bonnie over the weekend in Phoenix, AZ. Well, I took Friday off and arrived on Thursday night. It was really hot in AZ, and I see a lot of catus, more pictures and update to come.

Went to Verizon store today and got a new phone! well, it will arrive in my house on Thursday due to shortage. More on my cell phone to come later, too.

Finally, just spent an hour looking for my reward check from Citi credit card, can't remember for the life of me where I put it, it's driving me crazy :( Oh well, need sleep first and I will look tomorrow.

Good night :)

This is so funny and sad at the same time, seriously, it seems like everyone cheats nowaday!

I got into TCOM :)

Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine just called and informed me that I am accepted for the entering class of 2005! So now I got to think about which school I want to go to more, Albany Medical College or TCOM. I am pretty sure I will go to Albany Med, but still, it's nice to have a choice :)

I hate the Fed

I hate the Feds right now because they are raising the interest rate of financial aid in July 1st. And since school doesn't start for me until Aug, I am subject to that change! I called the Financial Aid Office just now and the lady tells me that she heard the rate between 3% to 5.5%! Yikes.... But I guess it doesn't matter, I still have to take out Financial Aid no matter what, unless the rate went around 8%, then I will take out alteranative loan from certain relatives then...

Swim with snake!

It's as the title said, I went swimming today, and on my third lap across the pool, I realize I have an unwanted companion in the pool with me, a garden snake (I think). It's about 6 inchs long and thinner than my pinky, but still, I screamed and got out of the water ASAP. Mom was near me watering plants, she immediately grab a strainer and got the snake out of the water and kill it. Thank you, mommy :) Next time, definetly have to check the pool before I plunge into it.

Carpet cleaning

whewwww, just finish cleaning part of the carpet in the living room.... very tired. I don't know why, but I was determined since Monday to go rent an industrial strength carpet cleaning machine and wash the carpet in the house. I went to Home Depot today and rented one, the old guy behind the counter think it's funny that I am attempting to clean! Anyway, it's easier than I thought to manuver the machine, but harder than I thought to get the spots out. My sister's cat - Little One, is the guilty one of leaving many stains around the edge of the carpet in the living room. After trial and error, I learned to put spot treatment down, wash the carpet with the machine, then let it sit for ~20 min before vacuum away the water. I roughfly clean all the spot today, from 2pm to 10pm, and I think I will clean it one more time tomorrow. Overall, it's a lot cheaper than hiring someone and I am more careful around the furnitures. Now I am tired, definetly need a shower and sleep!

Another picture :)
