SO This is Another Challenging Part of My MSc or What??

Few days ago.. I was the most happiest girl in the world.. The bad weather has improved.. no rain but hot sunny day... So this is the right time to build the portable bat flight cage again.. so here I go, rebuild the cage with my assistant....

Here is the cage frame or backbone..

And then we bring on the flight cage cover, with help of the officer in my research site

And we have one complete portable bat flight cage ready to be use and occupy anytime soon by the lucky bats

And then today.. God or whoever or whatever decided to challenged me again by doing this... Its hurt me so deep and I felt like crying outloud and shout and yell and kick some stupid arse...

The collapsed portable bat flight cage

And the broken upper side of the cage- which is bending to the soil level

And then this broke my heart even more

And this makes my heart shattered into pieces that nothing can mend it for the time being

So tell me why I am not a broken hearted right now... First is the flood in December 2007.. And then the not enough,no fruit to be collected and samples... And then the long-wait of the portable cage,it takes months to be ready... Then the bad weather.... And now this!...

Tired and I need My FULL BODY Massage..

Can somebody fly someone to my place right now? I so need someone here right now. Or maybe the Thai girl massager or what do we called them ah? I need someone to massage me. My body ache so much from working so hard this few days. Walking in the jungle for few hours everyday. Sit for hours on my lab doing lab works. Stay up till 4am almost every night. Wake up at 10am to start doing lab works. What have I become in order to pursue higher education level? I am a human robot this days. *sigh*

The Flight Cage.. a.k.a portable cage

Finally after waiting for almost 4 four months.. to be exact... my portable bat flight cage is delivered to me.. after all the nonsense excuses by the supplier... I am seriously being very patience.. I need the cage badly but nothing I can do but to call and ask the supplier when is the cage ready...'sigh'.. that is the local businessman lah... budus!!!

So today I have to build it.. ALONE.. yes ALONE.. at least it need 3-4 person to do it but I have no one with me.. I have to check all the connector.. all the part and start building it according to the drawingplan/design plan .. but that bloody supplier make my life even harder by not labeling some of the part and even worse,the label on the part is different with the one on paper... its so suxx that I keep cursing him.. you deserved that Mr.Supplier.. again,you really deserve that... So, I build it into 2 part as there is no way I can lift the half cage and put on the other part... And being someone creative (ehem ehem...LOL) I manage to build it and relabel everything... You so suxx Mr.Supplier.. its very tiring and energy-consume activity.. and seriously I can feel the pain on my back.. Where are you my Mr.BF?? I want you to massage me lah...

The other half of the portable flight cage

And after done doing all the labeling, I have to open it again and need to set it up somewhere else..somewhere very quiet where less human presence and away from civilization... I already have the place.. the old house where all my equipment flooded last time... So I really have to watch the river this time and have to act fast.. I wouldn't want this thousand metal cage gone with the flood just like the old cage... And this letter is for the Mr.Supplier.. I know you will not read my blog....

'Dear Mr.Supplier, I know that this is new to you. I know that you never build a portable flight cage before and so do I. But it is not that difficult to build. I know cause I am the designer. I design this what you called metal crap. I design this thousand buck metal crap. So, you better do it fast enough next time. Don't give me lame reason like its the CNY, no one working.. its this holiday and this holiday.. I don't care about the holidays. What I care more is getting my cage ready on time. I can't wait cause this is important to me. I don't care how much it will cost me as long as you can deliver it on time, as promised. But,what have you done with your promises? 1 month become 4 months.. So, should I pay you? Nah.. I am a person who is keeping her promise. So, I will pay you that money but you have to wait for another 4 months... Hahahahha'

T4T Workshop

After the hectic 1 week.. delivering all the informations that I have in my brain to all the Perhilitan officers, I am TOTALLY exhausted.. body and mind... So I have been sleeping yesterday. Wake up to only take my bath and ate my lunch and sleeps again.. the whole body is not functioning as I am too tired.. I so want to update this blog but I couldn't.. my mind want to do it but my brain and my body are not willing too.. so you can imagine me fighting over my body part on what to do and what not to do... ;) So here is the update.
