"seniors" of the laboratory

since this past year, the uni has been taking in loads of new freshies... sometimes, we wonder where they get all those fundings, it no longer becomes the subject for new postgrad students...
being the long term lab inhabitants, we earmark our "territory" .. and respect each other's work space...

nonetheless, as more and more unfledged citizens dot the lab, the more "senior" people like us feel disturbed..threaten, at its worst case... its like someone moving into your land without a proper visa nor knowledge of unwritten rules, dismantling all the previous serenity that we used to savour so much...
daily consumables such as a simple thing like kitchen towel which used to be freely available, is nowhere to be seen the very next minute you put it down... why, do they lack this in their own home kitchen that they need to steal them?




















if i don't do this, even my unwanted contaminated tips box might be gone...

a few days ago, two summer internship students went bizzarred and grilled fish using the lab oven... yes, ridiculous to think about it... and the pungent smell of gore still remains til today.. what were they thinking?


















a very useful whiteboard, to "vent our anger"

yes, it is indeed hard when someone just tramps across your pathway when you have been comfortable leading it alone.. so please forgive us if we tend to be impatient with you "younger ones" at times as we have to bear through these crap.. every single day...




















sorry, PE... but i can't help taking this shot... those funnels have been there for almost a week!
