Block N

moving seemed to have always been a part of my life;
from a convent primary school, i moved to a more prestigious secondary school located in the heart of kl.

from new zealand in my first year undergrad, i moved to melbourne to complete my engineering course.

from a material engineer who sat on the first floor of bulding 8 in Agilent, i took up the process engineer role and moved office to the second floor.


..just as i thought how much i hated the hassle of moving, i need to move again.

the uni decided to build a new building for us engineering research people.
Block N.
A new colourless (all other buildings are colour-coded) building located in another far end, just next to where they put Datuk Kong. Yes, that isolated.















the entrance


apparently, not everyone has to move, since the new office space is very much smaller, and may not be able to accomodate for all of us. unfortunately, the new labs are there, and those who spend nearly 90% of their lives in the labs, will have to move there.















chemical "wet lab"


you can of course opt not to move, but risk getting sunburnt and exhaustion from having to walk 10 minutes from the current office building..
so, yes, moving is compulsary for me. the plus point of this atrocious moving thing is that we no longer have to share laboratories with the undergraduates and find your glasswares missing or used by those irresponsible kids..being new labs, they are of course 1) more impressive, 2) neater, and 3) cleaner. well, for now anyway.




















in case u needed a shower..





















in case you felt like changing your hairstyle and maybe get it permed out

However, i'm quite glad that my 1.5 years have already glided through, and am just left with my other 1.5 years **hopefully** because frankly, i'm not as enthusiastic of moving into this new building as the others, maybe. the impressiveness of the lab is definitely outcasted by the overall building design, and its isolated location. the "comfortable" feeling of an office is belittled by the metal ceilings, and window views that look out into the dark and eerie oil palms..



















welcome to prison break season 6.

  1. EEvon....your mention abt the 1.5 years freaks me out lehh....and it reminded me that I am again behind schedule, slacking in the office.

    This N block...so sueh wan...I think partially I was sick because I had to walk in and out from the aircond room to the super hot environment. And the shower....badly designed. Imagine if u need an emergency shower and to find that the lab has been flooded after dat...

    Not a place that I wanted to shift to as well...but I want to get a seat in that office fast before I fall sick again :(
