Virus Warning! 病毒警報


WARNING! NEW VIRUS CIRCULATING!

A new virus has been found and is known by multiple names, but it is best known as 'work'.

If your boss or your direct colleagues send you e-mail containing 'work' or 'assignments' either in the subject or message body,
DO NOT TOUCH UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

This virus will take your private life completely. When you encounter this virus, please do the following:
1. Put on your coat
2. Find at least two colleagues
3. Go to the nearest pub
4. Order some beers and enjoy them together

After repeating the fourth point several times, your system will be cleared of the virus.

Please be so kind to send this warning to at least 5 friends. If you cannot find 5 friends to warn for this virus, you are probably already infected by this virus and it is progressively taking hold of your private life even more!

(This warning comes from a country that produces the happiest kids, pot-smokers, and seemingly, workers too!)

Latest news: Beware of this related health warning!





新年伊始，大家放假後，務請注意以下警告：

提防新型病毒傳播！

近日有種病毒肆虐，坊間流傳之名字甚多，但最普遍之名為「工作」。

如閣下收到老闆或同事的電郵，標題或內容出現「公務」或「差使」之類的東西，千萬切勿接觸！

此病毒會徹底侵襲閣下之私生活，萬一中招，請按以下步驟進行消毒：
1. 馬上穿上外套
2. 找最少其他兩個同事
3. 前住最就近的酒吧
4. 摸摸杯底，把酒談心

（如不嗜酒者，可把第3、4點改為飯局、唱K或搓麻將等。）

把第4點重複數遍後，病毒便可完全清除。

有鑑事態嚴重，懇請閣下盡快把消息轉達給身邊最少五位好友，若找不到五個朋友者，閣下可能中毒己深，私生活侵蝕會變本加厲。

（此警報來自一個號稱兒童天堂和大麻天堂的國家，看來亦堪稱打工仔天堂！）

呢一隻 phage 真係非常 virulent，先要套番層 cell wall，然後仲要兩隻 antibodies 再抽離粒 cell，先至可以 neutralize 到！

哈，又賣廣告勒：d HR做咩野呢？咪嘗試改左入面條 RNA，令隻 phage 變得人見人愛儸...

When autumn settles 秋高氣爽

Finally the weather has stopped being temperamental in October, and is giving us as many fine days as we ask for. The increasing chilliness in the morning air, however, is a reminder that beautiful autumn days like these don't necessarily last long! The weather was still rather warm for the first few days of the month. On 1st October, my colleagues and I took an early finish at work and went for the Oktoberfest. While it was not as jam-packed and crazy as the opening day , it was still not easy to find a table. We sat outside during the day time and switched indoors in the beer tent after dark. The atmosphere inside was simply infectious. We all entered a state of exhilaration in no time, as we saw a sea of people standing on the benches, dancing and chanting to the music of the band. It finally dawned on me how people could spend a whole day at the Oktoberfest. Beer, it seems, is the best form ecstasy for many people in Western societies! The cooler weather in the following weeken...

Travel advisories 旅遊忠告

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues travel advisories for all countries in the world, and the list is nothing short of exhaustive. Obviously Hong Kong’s perpetual air pollution gets a mention (and it touched the nerves of the local media), as well as the haze that descends upon Singapore between July and October. But Australian major cities are not totally spotless in regard to air pollution. Last Saturday I was quite surprised by the reduced visibility on the roads when driving under the broad daylight of noon. Since it was not supposed to be a foggy day, the only possibility was a haze or smog of some kind. I never thought that it could occur on a day with lighter traffic like the weekend. The lab where I am working now is located on the 8th floor of a hospital building adjoining the main building of the research institute, and we have to go through an outdoor stairway whenever we want to enter or exit the main building. The stairway offers an unhindered vi...

Start the Summer … 姍姍來遲的春天，和未有影蹤的夏天

A carry bag from a fashion chain store caught my eye on the underground train last Saturday. The big words on the bag said, ‘Start the Summer!’ Of course the store wants to promote its latest line of summer products. Maybe the locals think that summer isn’t that far away. But to me, summer is still a distant future away and spring has barely started. Proper spring, I mean – or the kind of spring I am more used to … Yes, the weather has generally stopped being uncomfortably cold since the start of April, but winter appeared to be lingering until maybe a week or so ago and was constantly contriving a come-back. Even now, the mornings are still a little chilly and wasn’t too unlike the sunny winter days of Melbourne. But on Saturday I’ve reassured myself finally that winter weather is well and truly gone, and I could safely put away my clothes for the coldest of the days. On the same day, quite a few locals were already donning T-shirts and shorts in the streets. Makes me jealous … Up to ...
