The End
In contingence w/my last post...this is also a good bye post. I am moving out of Sunny Day Go permanently today! Wow...five years...zoomed by faster than space traveling! A lot of growth, learning, memories, friends, relationships, and etc. occurred within the past 5 years. The five years entailed lots of laughters, dramas, sadness, hardships, and joy. I am who I am today because of all the people and events. Too much to say, so many people to pay special tributes to...and so lazy to type everything all up =P let's just end with...Thanx everyone, everything, and I will indeed miss it all =)
10 things i learned from SD
1) The sun is only a deception...the happy prelude before the rolling of the fog (get your hopes up, dress all "summer'ish"...and freeze you butt off mid day -_-")
2) Burritos...the way balanced meal should be!
3) Don't EVER have midnite cravings...nothing will be open!
4) Downtown La Jolla is the hub of ritsiness
5) The retarded traffic lights are more annoying than the people that can't drive in SD
6) TJ is only 30min away....enough said
7) Some gas stations in SD probably make a living by selling things other than gas....
8) PB Bar and Grill is a meat market
9) Towing companies work hard in SD
10) I heart SD =)
I will be in Taiwan for the month of July (literally) and LA for the month of August (figuratively speaking..)
No good byes...because I know I'll hunt you all down fo sho!
'tis marks The End of my SD chapter...let the SF chapter begin!
Simple Pleasure in Life
- enjoying SD and the company of friends..... =D

Happy Ending
Alas....my last day at work. As much as I wish to say "I am sad to leave, I'll miss work, blah blah blah blah...." I really can't. Why? Because I am ECCSTATIC!!!! This marks the end of another chapter of my life....the the liberation from my lab rat status...and I have once again regained my freedom (before I commit myself into another slave-driving institution of UCSF School of Pharmacy..oh joy). Can't leave work w/o leaving one last blogging post...afterall...it's the boredom and my hatred for work that spawns my creativity of ideas for my blogging posts!
I have grown a lot in the past year working in this hell hole of The Scripps Research Institute: The Schlaepfer's lab. I have also learned a lot. I've grown into this cynical and bitter individual. I have also come to my senses that real world is anything but "peachy". You might despise school, exams, hw, and etc (i'm sure i'll complain, whine, and gripe about it when the time comes)...but seriously...it ain't nothing in comparison to paying bills, responsibilities, and being a sell out. Work and real world can b*tch slap exams and schools to the other side of the room w/ONE finger! You think waking up at 8am for a class that only occurs twice a week is bad?!? try waking up every freak'n morning and try to get to work by 9am and home at 7pm!! the constant alertness you must have while at work (you never know when your boss' spying on you) and the need to "pretend" you're busy can drain the living soul outta ya! Procrastination breeds productivity....it ain't the case w/work...because you're not given the luxury of "procrastination"...you're suppose to be in the constant mode of "production". In school, you have the "popularity" contest....at work...this turns into POWER STRUGGLES! 10x worse than "who has more friends". may the force be with the people at the bottom of the totem pole (i am at the bottom NO MORE!)
w/all that said...here are the 10 things i learned from work...
1) You can't cure cancer (whoever claims that..they're lying!)
2) Paid vacations are perhaps the best concept anyone can come up with
3) What are the different means of accessing Aim without your boss EVER finding out about you chatting at work (anyone knows netscape have built in Aim? *wink*)
4) All the nerdy BAD bio puns (FAK this!!!)
5) How to sleep with your eyes open during 2hrs long lab meetings
6) Coffee is awesome and paychecks are SCHWEEEET!
7) How to waste work resources and boss' money (like now..sitting here...using work's comp...getting paid and NOT doing any work!)
8) Dry ice makes great bombs
9) You can save money by copying text books using the copiers at work!
10) WORK SUX!!!!!
Ending on a good note...paying special tributes to the following individuals/things: Dan, Satya, Trang, Shawn, Roshni, Holly, David Kim, Jared, Datsun, blogspot, xanga, naruto manga, bleach manga, and all the people that chatted w/me on Aim (namely Lin-Duh Cow, Brian Tom, Vinh, Dave...and a lot of others that I didn't mention because I am too darn lazy to type everyone's name down). You guys are the contributors to my still-existing-miniscure sanity. Apologize to you all for my whining and griping...meeting me was the doom of your auditory and (to a certain extent) visual senses. guess u'll just have to LIVE W/IT! hahah.. j/k
with this i leave you....AILEEN OUT!!!!
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) landing of a 10hrs flight
2) A Dr. Pepper that just quenches your thirst like none other
3) Relieving bladder over capacity
4) Sleeping on the beach with the sun shining bright
5) LAST DAY OF WORK!

I Love You DMV *Shakes BOTH Fists in Air*
This is an old post I had that fully expressed my love (or the lack there of) for our praise worthy *gags* DMV...
Why we love DMV (Department of Mental Vanquishment…wait..i mean..Department of Motor Vehicles)
1) They are orderly (hot dang…long line forming at 7am already!)
2) They are efficient (B001…5hrs later…B005…*sigh*)
3) They are convenient (what?!? The nearest DMV is 30min away???)
4) They work around the clock for YOU (huh??? They’re closed on a random Monday?? And wha??? They’re open at 9am on Wednesdays? And eh?? They’re not opening this week????)
5) They allow you to interact w/fellow model citizens of the United Sates (umm..the creepy guy next to me’s talking to me again…ok..now he’s just talking to himself)
6) They are customer oriented (would the lady stop yelling already! And dang it…don’t gimme no attitude..i waited in line!)
7) They provide a friendly environment (holy crap..the security guard went bizerk! Duck!!!)
8) They entertain you while you wait (ooo…look at the #’s changing on the monitor..and wow..the ladies all look so fat...)
9) They utilize the technologies necessary to ensure proficient performance and ultimately quality customer service (8am….9am…10am…2pm…*sigh* their computer system’s still down…)
10) They influence you to become the model citizens of United Sates (urge to kill…rising…)
Story goes that my registration is about to expire...and I still have yet to receive my renewal notice in the mail. I called them, they hung up on me a few times, waited on the line for a long a$$ time, etc. Alas, i got through. Apparently...my vehicle registration is under some REALLY strange address..how it got changed, i have ABSOLUTELY NO F#%$ING CLUE!!! *sigh* now i have to pay for their stupidity and their incompetency...oh joy. Good to know this is where my tax dollars go. -_-"
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) no line at DMV (hahahahah...in a billion years perhpas)
2) no more automated voice system (oh aileen...u're so funny)
3) Shaking fist in air
4) Eating my life away
5) Sleeping my nights away

Advanced Fundamentals of Physics
I officially have 49 hrs and 15 min left of work... excellent *mr. burne's finger twirling and twisted smile* Despite my urge to do something evil to the lab that caused me so much misery for the past 2 years...such as sabotaging solutions in lab so nothing works and perhaps contaminate the living hell out of this lab...I will not. Why? 1) I am too damn nice (gosh i hate myself for that), 2) it would indirectly affect the ones that I am actually fond of in this hell hole and make them suffer more than they alredy did...I can't possibly make myself to do that, and 3) I believe they expected it already (I am the evil aileen afterall)...so I must perform the "unexpected" by NOT doing anything..TAKE THAT. I will gracefully leave this lab as a better woman...well...maybe sticking a fat middle finger up, say "f$%# you", and let out a loud hysterical laugh wouldnt hurt =P
Continuing with my lecturing from the last post...I shall preach on the "laws of physics" some more...
As we all know, there are three fundamental law of physics, Newton's 3 laws of motion..and they are as follows:
1) Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
2) The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma
3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
These three laws holds true in nature and it also holds true in the application of "real life" scenerios. This is what i call..the "advanced" fundamentals of physics..pushing physics to the next level! it's not only the laws of "motion"...it can also be laws of "work"/"school"/"home". The postulates are as follows:
1) A student/employee/kid in procratination tends to stay in procrastination unless an external force (profs/boss/parents) is applied to it
2) The age/work hours/time of a school/work/cleaning process is directly proportional to the flexibility F, given by the prof/boss/parents and inversely proportional to the student/employee/kid's motivation
Age or Time work/cleaning = flexibility/motivation
=> a = F/m
=> F = ma
This describes the forces encountered by a student/employee/kid. A student/employee/kid..even if highly motivated..may still remain in school/work/home given enough flexibility. As the motivation goes to zero, the duration of degree/work/"home sitting" goes to infinity.
3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (very laymen...so the more miserable you are from working..the happier your prof/boss/parents will be. of course...the more you wanna be happy and be an lazy a$$...umm...you do the math)
Ah...facts of life explained by physics...marvelous. Look..what do you know...after finishing typing up this post..i have officially 48 1/2 hrs left of work! FANTASTIC!
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) Winning a bet
2) Winning a free 20 oz soda from soda caps
3) Finding an awesome parking spot
4) Quenching thirst
5) Good hair day

Work It!
Boredom breeds blogs...that's what I've come to conclude. I'd like to first congratulate those who are done w/finals..another round over and done with...I shall join the "endless nerding" supporting group in the upcoming fall...oh joy. I also would like to congratulate the seniors...you're done! unless you're going to be a super senior..then may the force be with you. The ones who are graduating...enjoy this joyous occassion...because it won't last. The hell of real world awaits you...and you're a foot in too deep already.
As promised when you visited this blog.. the preaching begins
The physics of work is a rather profound equation. W=Fd, W= work, F= force, and d=distance (I spelled it out for the people who remember nothing from their physics classes, slept through it, or just didnt care at all...hmm...welcome to my wasted 16 years of education) To do work, you must input force and distance. Without either of the two factors, there can be no "work".
Such a nature of work applies to real life as well...not just physics. To get work done...you must input some effort (aka get your lazy a$$ off the chair and be productive...which is exactly what i'm NOT doing). You also have to go to the "distance" to say you "worked". what does this distance mean....it means "progress". So to claim you accomplished any work...you must put in the effort and make some progress. If you only contributed effort but no progress made, you wasted your energy and will result in the equivalence of no work. In contingence, if you have progress but contributed absolutely NO effort (i dunno how that's possible..if you know how..please enlighten me and have me as your pupil =D), it's safe to say...you CHEATED or you're just a lucky bastard...and that work is not of your own but others....ergo...still zero work for you. Putting it this such a perspective...physics is useful afterall.
Reflecting on my past year at Scripps Research Institute: The Shlaepfer's lab...
F= 0, d=0 -------> W= (0)(0) => W= 0
damn.....I achieved no work. waste of a year? you betcha! but what a blissful waste of resources and boss' money! =D PROUD I AM!!!
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) Eating a fat, juicy burrito...*drool*
2) Fridays
3) Deja Vous
4) Getting a call or an aim msg from an old friend
5) Finding a quarter on the floor

Raging Hormones
Wow...2 entries within 24hrs period! It's either i'm bored OUT OF MY MIND...or i REALLY have something interesting to say. With the self-mocking out of the way...I will not waste your time and proceed with the entry...afterall..can't really have much updates when my last entry was only less than 24hrs ago...hmm..maybe uhhh...i slept and i woke up for work. so much for the update. =P
Recently, I read this one article titled Trust in a Bottle. To give you the low-down, it's about this sexual reproductive system hormone Oxytocin and its ability to influence our level of "trust". It's rather interesting. Who would've thunk (obviously with the exception of the mad scientists that were crazy enough to come up with the correlation and conjur up this whacked hypothesis)...a sexual reproductive hormone can manipulate "trust". From now on...perhaps we all will have no problems trusting...all you need is a dose of Oxytocin!
Anywayz...that got me thinking. Perhaps a lot of our emotions can be manipulated by influencing the levels of our hormones, gene transcription/translation, electric signal conduction of the neurons, neurotransmitters, etc. "Love Potion" might eventually be possible! Afterall, the concept of "love" is only a term we created because of all the physiological changes we experience when we find someone we're attracted to. Perhaps "love" is simply bundles of neural transmitted signals that are induced and initiated by the "sighting" of a visually appealing object (aka Hot dude/chick). Maybe our level our "love" can be influenced by identifying some genes and induce the transcription/translation of it. Or better yet, intaking some hormones that are directly correlated with "love" and it'll maybe induce the "butterfly effect". Could it be that love might be some type of disease? (o.O) One thing for sure...if "trust in a bottle" is possible...why not "love potion"? Whoever comes up w/it will definitely make some massive bankage! Making someone out of your league or your long term crush to love you and loath you will no longer be an impossible task...we'll all turn into LOVE MACHINES!
Associating with love...I started to think...maybe that might be possible with orgasms as well. As we all know, females have a much harder time than males to achieve this sensational high. Average time for a woman to obtain the state of "orgasmic experience" is like 12 min...while 7 min is the average amount of time a dude can last (how i got that stats? morning radio shows baby!). So if we can come up w/something that can affect female's ability to get an orgasm...sex will no longer be the often than not "one way street" and females no longer have to "fake" orgasms (ok dudes..stop kidding yourself...you're not THAT good...girls fake it most of the time...unless she's Samantha from Sex in the City). The act of "love making" will be enjoyed by both sexes alike! i wonder what they will call it..."Orgasmic Explosion"!!! hahah.. (yea..i know i'm corny). One thing for sure...SEX SELLS!
Long and behold.... there IS such thing as Female Orgasm in Genes !
Referring to my previous entry...I guess i'm not so original afterall....it's been done and they even got fundings for it. *shakes head* silly horny scientists. *sigh* No doubt...it is the byproduct of locking up mass quantity of nerdy scientists w/no game in a confined environment for an extended periods of time...
Watch out..."I" shall be the one to invent "Love Potion" mwa ha ha ha ha... Tell you what...if that does happen...print out this entry and I'll sell it to you at half off price *wink* hahahah.. for a limited time only! don't waste the chance!

The One, The Only
Watch out for what you eat, even if it's homemade. These two days, I suffered through an episode of "food poisoning". From what? the fried rice my grandma made for me. Dont eat ANYTHING that's been left in the car for extended periods of time (yea yea yea..i'm an idiot that lacks common sense). Otherwise, you'll end up with whimsical gagging reflexes, lack of energy, and most of all...loss of appetite (which I am o so proud of). The two days of recovery process restrained me from my usual "hyperactivity" and stayed in my private room detention. On the bright side...I'm getting paid to stay home and do absolutely NOTHING! mwa ha ha ha ha... the wonders of sick leaves and excessive vacation hours...simply SCHWEEET! =D
Ending with my update...I should proceed onto my subject. Now...relieved from most of my responsibilities at work (3 weeks left...woohoo!!! \(^o^)/) I have plenty of time to waste and boredom to spare. With all the time in the world and being REALLY bored...I've been browsing through people's blogs...includes the ones written by strangers. It's been rather interesting to read about what others have to say about assorted subjects. I also have been doing quite a lot of Aiming as well (no duh...#1 aim addict right here! what else am I suppose to do at work? be productive???? shyea right!) One thing I've realized (along with many others..but let's just pick the prominant one)...as much as I'd like to think my ideas and thoughts are "unique" or "original"...they're really not. Things I've said most likely have been mentioned by others and the thoughts I have most likely have been pondered by others as well. A lot of times you think to yourself...I must be the only person suffering through all this and why am I the only one alone suffering? chances are...there are plenty others out there who can identify with your situation or have experienced through the same things. Nothing's ever really "orginal" or "unique"..for all that I know, there might be another person somewhere in the world writing about the same topic as me.
If that is the case...how is everyone of us "unique" and different from other people???
I'd like to think, the thoughts and ideas we have are like numbers. A number by itself is neither unique or original. It's plain and can be repeated at any moment. However, when you combine all types of different numbers together into series of "numbers"....you get...human! Everyone have their own set of combinations and they occur at random. It cannot be repeated nor can it be reproduced at any given moment. THAT is what made each and everyone of us unique and separates us from each other. In a sense...none of the thoughts we have are ever "one of a kind" (unless you pride yourself as the 21st century Aristotle, Socrates, Newton, Einstein or etc.) but with all the various thoughts together shuffling through our CNS...each and every one of us are "the one, the only".
For me it's definitely humbling to know that "oh...I guess I'm not the only person that thinks about this". but it's also comforting to know that there are others who can identify with what are going through my mind. But in the end..there's only ONE Aileen! with all her random craziness and all. =P Can't reproduce another one of me...isn't that a reassuring thing to know hehe.. ;-)
So from now on..if at anytime..someone ever says to you..."dang..you're not being original! I've thought of that already!". Just say to that person "well...recite π (pi) for me then you b*tch! HA! i knew you can't! so shut up!" hahahahah...
disclaimer: If you do indeed decide to take on the above approach...you might end up opening a can of whoop a$$. I will not...I repeat...I will not be responsible for the consequences.
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) Sipping on a bowl of hot soup or a cup of hot tea on a cold winter day
2) Jumping into a body of cold water on a hot summer night...naked! hahahah..j/k
3) 6pm hits (end of work and din din time!)
4) Shower before bed
5) Sleeping on freshly washed sheets...the smell is enough to give you a pleasant sleep =)

The Purpose
we all like to do nothing at work...but once you really have NOTHING to do...you get antsy. Thus..updating my blog I shall. Must restrain myself from productivity...."procrastination is an active process " ( page 3.14159 or aka pi, Chahm [yea..i dont expect u to get this joke...so dont even try]).
You ever notice...everything we do...we require a "purpose". We eat because we are hungry, we go to work because we need money, we sleep because we need rest...and essentially there's a "why" to every statement we make. We need to feel the sense of "being" and we need to feel that we're performing a particular task for a reason. There really is no such thing as "walking aimlessly". No matter now "aimless" it may be, you are still heading towards somewhere and searching for some type of objective. Even when you TRY to walk around "aimlessly"...this "aimless" became your purpose and your objective.
Similar to the requirement of "reason" for the tasks we perform...life can be the same way. We all want to know we are living for a purpose...we are born for a reason. Some people like to use God as a form of justification. I'm certain we've all heard speeches such as "God created my life for a purpose...for reasons I do not know why...but there's gotta be some logic behind it". We all want to feel we are needed by someone, serving a greater purpose than just "living", and we also require that sense of "being". None of us like to feel we are just insignificant creatures born to just breed, eat, drink, and die. We often search for the purpose in life and the meaning in our lives that some of us even forget how to "live".
What if there is no purpose? there's no "grand scheme" of plan behind each of our lives? Maybe we ARE here to just breed, eat, drink, and die like all the rest of the lively beings on this planet....afterall...every one of us are simply composition of cells with the task of sustaining survival. What if there IS no concrete meaning to life? All the things we ever set out to do, the questions we ponder , or the life we think we lead might possibly be all deceptions we created for ourselves so we can have a sense of "significance" for our petty little lives.
I am sure you all presume that I have a conclusion to this entry...afterall...based on your understanding of "Aileen"...why would I write an entry without a type revelation or a conclusion? The purpose of this entry is so I can derive my own conclusion right? and the purpose of you reading this entry is to witness my derivation of a conclusion...am I correct?
Fact of the matter is...I really have no conclusion...no answer...and there perhaps is no point or purpose to this entry except my incessant talk.
I am living to live...living to what I think is the fullest. Let it be superficial, impactful, deep, serious, dramatic, silly, or else....I only have one chance to live. It might be created without a purpose or maybe there really is no point to my life....or perhaps I AM insignificant. but the purpose of my life is up for me to define and the quality/significance of my life will depend on how i chose to live
As my good friend Mike would say...Cheers, to life's next moment.
