And working with a bunch of fun lab people!
Or do Indians usually joke more than other races? I always thought "Hey bro" were first used by/ more natural to Indians in Malaysia culture. Of course they know when to be serious and all. But if you've worked in a lab for 14 years already and still surviving the routine, you must've found a good way to stay amused.
One of the things I like about them:
I am the only Chinese in my lab. There are another two Malay colleagues, and five Indian colleagues. The radio was tuned in to a Tamil station. I didn't really mind because I wasn't even listening to it. Dr, Joshua walked in to give some instruction, and suddenly he suggested to the lab (Histopathology) :
"Hey I think from now on we have to tune in to Mandarin station la, ok? If not, Cher Linn cannot understand."
I was touched and didn't know how to react. I smiled and suggested English station would be good. And soon they changed it Fly FM. And later someone played some old English classics from a CD, and they hummed along once in a while.
Aren't they blessings from God? =)

i imagine 5 jonathans in the lab. :D very very very funny indeed! oh no cher u have to train not to laugh non stop in ur workplace :P
Come to think of it, they do have some similarities with Jonathan! They speak in Tamil among themselves most of the time with occasional translation. So I don't really understand, but from the look of their facial expression and response, they do seem like joking with each other. And Jonathan is good in this ;-)
