Yesterday, my co-worker asked me in all seriousness, "can you show me your six-pack please?". In all seriousness, I had no idea if I should take that as a compliment or a sign of peversion (haha!)... my co-worker is in her mid-40s and she's this really nice lab tech auntie that I love to talk to and work with in the lab, so I definitely did not see this coming...
After awkwardly murmuring incoherent thoughts on the spot, I finally decided that the best way out of it was to say the truth. "Sorry I don't have a six-pack." Unfortunately, it didn't quite work. Thereafter, my co-worker started rambling that I didn't want to "share" and that I definitely had it.. to which, I walked off feigning work somewhere else but my ears were hot and my face was red red red...
Aunties rule the world, I tell you.

I got back to my desk today and a few of my co-workers were crowded pretty close to my desk. I sat down and started using the computer and because I was listening to music, I was pretty oblivious to what was happening around me. After some time, one of them came up to me and showed me a little post-it on my built-over-the-desk-mini-cabinet which was now closed (i usually can't be bothered to close it cuz it has a heavy door). It read "change your clothes", which totally did not make sense to me. Then my co-worker said "oh, we noticed that you store some clothings in your cabinet (sometimes i run to work and need to shower and change) and we can see your boxers in them so maybe you should change your clothings (???)..."
?????????
What on earth is wrong with these people???????
Thereafter, I stacked my towel over all my clothings (underwear included) and then left the cabinet open again. I hope they don't steal my organic scottish shortbread fingers that I bought from marks and spencer. That would break my heart.

On a happier note, I had lunch twice with HY and YX and our dearest doctor prescribed me some medication for hair growth, which I know sounds ridiculous to a lot of you, but made me super happy the whole day! Ah, everyone loves a doctor friend! YX told us the funny story of her friend who was on some narcotic drug at the hospital and the goodlooking doctor wanted to check if she was ok so he told her to stretch her arms out and place them on her knees, and she proceeded to stretch them out and placed them on HIS KNEES... This has to be the funniest story I've heard for quite a while!

Ok, after all the stupid stories, I'm sure everyone's gonna have a great weekend! My mom's supposedly singing in a concert tonight, but she just called to say that her teacher said the one song she was involved in would be cancelled cuz "they sounded bad", which really breaks my heart, especially cuz students are "forced" to buy at least ten tickets, which my mom couldn't sell a single one (except to me and my dad, and my sis can't make it cuz of the baby) and has to pay for now.
Eeeeeeks! I think this calls for a big hug!
