What do you know.. It is now Sunday and at 7.40 am I am still in my duvet reading my latest happy steal from Dymock's Burnside yesterday and gleefully sipping my mug of hot chocolate. It has been a pretty good week although the last three days preceeding to Friday was a bit rubbish. Monday started off very well with good comments from James on my mice experiments and getting us all stoked up for tissue LuxS expression which when we did on Tuesday didn't work as the RNA yield/quality was too poor. Culture experiments then on Thursday and Friday also didnt work so that bummed me a little.
All the same yesterday my housemates : Zira, Pae and I decided to go for an outing to the Burnside village and we ended up having a nice time. The clothes in ZARA were especially spectacular looking and I think I am going to get myself a couple decent ones for Hari Raya. This is probably the first time I am actually looking forward to buying clothes here in Adelaide. Not that I am stuck up or stuff but until yesterday I always felt like the clothes here SUCKED. I am so used to lovely designs from Laura Ashley, East India @ Metrojaya that over here everything looked so dull. So I am excitedly waiting for my allowance to come in May and then shop!
I also happily found 1Q84 which I had been looking for a long time so that was really good as well. We also went to a few shops which I really liked such as Oroton, Villeroy and Boch before having really nice coffee and desserts at Bracegirdles. Ah..such is the luxurious life of Burnside :-)
So, although from Weds to Friday work sucked I am glad I had yesterday's outing with my Kent Town sisters. Today we are also going to the IndoFest in the afternoon so I am looking forward to that too. Syukur alhamdulillah. Life's good.
