it was hell of a night last night. another traumatic experience, but i am fine. ended work late yesterday, 8.30pm. did media preparation and subculture of the transformed tobacco plants. prepared the osmoticum plate and had to let it dry. 6 sets.

so i decided to eat at KFC, its halal, since neither alden nor dan sounded serious about anything, they were pushing me from one to another. so our plan of watching body of lies was screwed, since i ended late. i went to century mall, and decided to watch the movie 'city of ember'. though i was tempted to watch 'body of lies'.

the movie was suppose to start at 10.35pm. but it started at 11.30pm instead, something screwed up i guess. the movie was okay, it ended at 1am.

so i had to walk to the place where there's alot of tuktuk and motortaxi, instead of taking the cab. so i walked, 1am in the morning. it was real dark. i wasn't really afraid, or thinking about anything much, but to get home. to me, it was some kind of an experience to venture at night, alone, in bangkok.

as i walked, i chance upon a courtyard. it was dark. there are fences but no gates. instead of walking the longer route, i decided to take a short cut across the courtyard. but there were people around. so, i didn't expect anything to happen. there were dogs too. but i can only see one, right smack in the middle of the courtyard.

so i stepped into the courtyard and walked towards the exit right at the end. half way through, the dog raised from its resting position. and it was coming towards me. okay big deal, just a dog. in a split second i saw a few more dogs coming towards me from the dark, coming in all directions. i stalled, looked around, i counted 6 dogs. they were all growling and barking at me. there i was, surrounded by 6 growling, howling, barking dogs waiting to pounce on me. i suppose they're guard dogs.

in my head, i was thinking that if i were to move on forward, they might start attacking me. and if i were to make eye contact with them, they'd sense trouble and react. so, i took a few steps back, turned and walk away to the 'entrance'.

to my horror, all 6 dogs followed me, still growling and barking. i continued walking, but one of em tried to bite my pants, i could feel its teeth. but i walked too fast, not allowing its jaws to close. then another dog, tried to sniff my right hand as i walk. i could already feel its wetness and its breath. i tried to take my hand. away but the stupid dog licked across the whole side of the back of my palm before i could.

once i got out of the courtyard, all 6 dispersed. like as if they'd get shot if they cross the line. but some of em were still monitoring my movement, staring and barking at me. on the other side of the fence, i could only look at it, and brandished a middle finger.

i made my way out, and got home safely. my heart didn't slow down eversince. honestly. i was terrified to be attacked by those creatures, but i'm glad they didn't. i kept worrying how to 'sertu'(cleanse) the saliva away.

woke up at 12pm today. oh yarh, i forgot to mention that today is a public holiday in thailand. but i still have to come to the lab and finish up some stuff.

and so i did, after lunch, i came to work at 2pm, finished up subculturing the cell suspension and the agrobacterium. and i am still in the lab, alone~

no one is around, and i am using the free internet. and and and my parents are coming over on saturday.

i will avenge my ghost with every breath i take.
