When The Adorable Cows Went Grazing…..in the city….

It WAS, but all a common sight when travelling up to the Northern states of Malaysia…. *smirk*…..One could never fail to notice the huge pot bellies of cows grazing happily among the open field of delicious and juicy mouth watering grass….Very well, at least it is the very fact that we have, as for now.…..an enjoyable time out there…FREEZE the time clocking…STUPEFY the rotation of the earth…Heck, silence….numbless….concrete….Then imagine yourself looking out of the windows of your four wheel drive….Image One….three terrifyingly adorable cows coming into eye contact with you…You say hello, they moo-ed back…You showed them your nice perfect set of teeth, they grin the horrendous smile to you….Hahaha…..All they had was a mode of confidence…with a high lean, mean personality..*smirk*….No, it may sound confusing to us or rather a remake of the Walt Disney highly acclaimed “The Barnyard” but the fact is not all “meaty”, at the very least…It was merely a trip to an exhibition in the north…Perlis…Off our seniors and Terick boy went, leaving us in our own bored world for a total of 4 days..Do the Maths and that will be 96 hours…Left to the whole world on our own, we did what we had been told to do….Sounds familiar to Hansel and Gratel? Anyway,to be fair, it was not all that bad….journals were read, medium plates were prepared, cells were spun down despite being very much disgusted with the whole process and the samples for GC were run as well….All was prepared for the arrival of the three, minus the grand royale usual common red carpet and mesmerising fireworks…Hahaha…One have to admit, it was not of much fun without the usual laughter in the lab….After all, life without laughing will make you feel doomed and muscle tight around the mouth area…It is like that most of time…Whenever the thing is there, we never really appreciate and have a feeling of gratitude towards them…Only when they sort of went missing, even for 4 days, you start to feel how much their presence is worth it….Nah, do not get me wrong…. I’m not merely worshipping them three….Just had to adapt to a life of a lone ranger’s world for these 4 days….Perhaps the most un-tolerable event that happened was the time when I had to spin down the cells from the fermentation thing…All was well until you caught sight of the drooling mucus-like ‘tau fu fah’ that is rotten for like weeks…Accompanying it was the “enhanced” smell of rotten eggs plus a thick concentration of NH3…haha….no more sarcastic remarks to be made…No more counter attack and so on so for……Now that they are back, it is certainly a continuous road of fun plus laughter.. After all, at the end of the day, “Laughter is certainly the best medicine.”
