Snap snap... Cut cut... Pack pack...Squeeze squeeze... A "bloody day"

Hello hello hello :-D Was bone tired yesterday after standing for almost a day hahaha... Been taking photos and learning some new stuff... So guess what I learnt??? Cutting of bones to extract bone marrow and cutting of muscles...

It was the first time that I looked at cutting bone marrow... Muscles were ok basically, saw quite a bit when I was still a student... But a sliver of decomposed muscle is something new hahaha... it's not as grossed as any of you might think of ;-) tink of medium cooked beef when sliced open. The bone marrow is a whole new thing. 'Cos the sample submitted is not standardised but depends on situation. Manage to see a range of it, it reminds me of food as well... The cutting was tricky. I was assisting a senior staff with documentation and I learnt alot from her:-D

The joke of the day was the other team that was working with us. His blade got stuck in the bone while cutting and suddenly you can see everybody moving out of his vicinity hahaha... Seems like everyone is frightened of the bone flying into their face :-D I was standing pretty far so I got a good view while maintaining my safety. The underlying statement of the day from him was: No bah kut teh or mixed pig organ soup for the week :-D

Overall, learnt loads of things yesterday... But the standing nearly killed my legs... After that, took sometime to pack them back into the bag before relaxing and slowly shake my butt to do some other not so urgent stuff :-D Drag my time working, eatting and gossiping till 8pm before heading home with my colleague.

Umm... reaching home, I saw some more blood and pus filled bumps looking so tender that it is too irresistable to squeeze! Hahaha end up sueezing out 3 more bumps... Though with large amount of dead skin now but at least the bumps are gone :-D

Thought I will conked out at 10pm but some how I was too tired to zzz... Went to watch tv till 12am...N the shows were :CSI and Cold case... Luckily I didn cont'd to watch Bones... But those 2 already made up my "bloody day" hahaha :-D

Been writing lots of "gross" stuff recently... Hope later I will have time to update my blog with some other not so gross stuff hahaha... After all, I am very "saltish" for now ;-)
