Home sweet home~~~

I'm back to my sweet sweet home~~~
Finally I can have some peaceful, quiet, normal days.
At home to welcome me of course are my dearest mummy and daddy~~
Love you very very much !!
Muacks muacks muacks~~
Not leaving behind, my very-much-missed bedroom !!!!!!
and my air-cond as well XD
I miss my very very very comfortable bed~~~
The hostel bed is terrible, after i sleep on it for the nite, i wake up feeling tired tired and tired still, not recharged.
And of course, i can online online ONLINE until i'm sick of the now-seem-god-like streamyx !!!!
I miss the days where i chat until my dad came down to force me to go to bed.
I miss the days where i cook maggi in the middle of the nite and watch my favourite dramas while eating it.
I miss the days where i online until i have nothing to do and fell asleep in front of the monitor.

Last but not least, my hometown -- Kuantan, is always there waiting for me to go home. =)
I suddenly realised that i havent look at the sky for a long long time.
and i truly miss looking at the sky and just let my mind float freely.

Home is always the best place to be.

I'm back !

The reason for being so slow is coz all the photos are still pending !!!!!

havent receive them yet.

So,

behold my next post !!!




Ciao~

Home sweet home~

General Genetics Lab !!!!!!!

Fine.

I know I'm lazy.

I delayed and delayed this post for long time dy.

Time to post it up.

As a science UNDERGRADUATE aka PRASISWAZAH (perasan XD),

we have lots of lab work to do.

One of the most interesting one is the General Genetics lab

(i hate the chemistry lab so much, i just cant stand the stupid ****ing annoying irritating idiot).

We were required to cross the wild type and mutant type of Drosophila (fruit flies).

Last week, we finally get to see our result, which are the baby fruit flies.

(Apparently, i'm the mother and my lab partner is the father and the fruit flies are our children.)

*cold*

tada~

Our so-called-babies~~~

and our family portrait - mummy, daddy and babies~

with the 'neighbours' LOL...

Then, we had to separate the males and the females,

and cross this F1 generation.

Poor babies lying in the bottle motionless after dipengsankan by us.

That's my lab partner separating the baby fruit flies using a brush cause they are so fragile that even a soft sweep might kill them.

The baby girls~

The baby boys~~

This is how it look like under the microscope :

Finally, the fruit flies were separated and we chose 10 males and 10 females to let them produce the next generation, which is F2 generation.

After finishing the Drosophila experiment, we proceeded with the human genetics experiment.

It's just a simple experiment where we had to observe some characteristics on each of us, including our earlobes, eye colour, hair colour, thumb, little finger, taste, colour blindness etc.

Then, comes the final and the really challenging one.

Blood type test.

Muahahahahahahaha...

This time, we have to poke our finger to get our own blood by ownself, and perform the blood type test.

I always wanted to do this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poking with needle into my finger is no prob for me as I'm used to getting poked here and there for various reasons.

They provided us with the alcohol swab where we have to disinfect our finger before poking the needle.

The needle is sterile and sealed properly so we dont have to worry about bacterias or viruses.

Eventhough i already know what is my blood type but i was still very excited doing it. ^^

My lab partner helped me to poke my index finger and blood flowed out~

But my blood is not as dark red as the others and my blood seem much more 'diluted'.

I guess my haemoglobin count is lower than them.

I had to press and press and picit and picit my finger for the blood to flow out and drip it into the 'plate'.

But my blood is so 'diluted' that it flowed all over my finger and didnt drip onto the plate.

Ugh.

My fingers were the dirtiest T.T

After picit-ing my finger until it turned purple, finally i have enough blood to perform the blood test.

We drip the antiserum anti A and anti B to perform the blood test.

My blood type is B+.

So when my blood is mixed with the antiserum anti B, agglutination is supposed to occur.

I mixed my blood with the antiserum anti A, nothing happened, the mixture is still crystal clear.

Then i mixed my blood with antiserum anti B.

Still,

nothing happened T.T

*What the hell?????*

The previous blood test was an error?

Nah...I would have died if they mix up my blood type.

So i had to do another test for the antiserum anti B.

We waited for a moment.

Finally.

I saw agglutination T.T

Stupid blood test.

Perhaps the antiserum they provided expired dy??

LOL...

No idea.

Just relieved that i finally got it right.

The aftermath of the blood test...LOL

This is the mixture of my blood with the antiserum anti B.

Note the agglutination of the mixture.

This is another drop of my blood that we used to do the Rhesus test where we can test our blood is positive or negative.

Again, agglutination will occur when your blood is mixed with the dunno-what-name-solution-dy and heat it for a few mins, that's for Rhesus positive blood type.

Well, girls, whatever they do, they will never forget to take photos. LOL~

We kept ss-ing before the lab start and camwhored bunch of photos.

=====> pretending to be serious and professional (obviously we failed to do so)

======> The Internal Affairs 5 ????

=====> The BioInfo girls~

=====> Unfortunately, my head is half-blocked by one of the girls.

*sigh*

I had so much fun !!!!!

Field work !!

weeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~

We had a field method 'outing' last friday !!!

Well, not really an 'outing'.

We just went to the so-called-hutan in UKM, (Note : i used 'to', not 'into'), we basically just went to the outskirt of the hutan to see some of the net set up to catch bats and birds.

Our very nice lecturer and his assistants led us to the nets already set up there.

(P.S. Syndy, Jayne and I were busy applying sunscreen eventhough the sunshine cant really shine through our thick forest, LOL)

Back to the main topic, field method.

The net really work !!

We saw one fruit bat trapped in the net, struggling to get out~

And the assistant (who has a certificate and lisence in doing this, according to our lecturer) started freeing the bat and also not forgetting to show us how to do it.

(i'm just gonna skip that part coz i dont want to bore my readers away...hehe...anyway i recorded the process down...enjoy~ u can hear the bat whimping, crying, screaming "help!! help!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on top of its lung..XD )

And this is the fruit bat !!!!

cute rite??

and fruit bat DO have eyes and they can SEE, they are not blind.

*i wonder do batman cry like how fruit bats cry?*

Then we noticed that a dove (pigeon) was also trapped in the net !!!!

(Are they blind or wat =.=)

*I couldnt get kim kooi out of the frame !!!!!! tsk tsk~*

Then we moved on to another net which catches insect bats that senses objects by using radiation (or something like that =.=).

The very YENG assistant holding the bat, LOL!

He was trying to show us its teeth, which are bright and white, coz bats use colgate mar~

(eh, sensodyne better la !!!)

the wings...

I know Batman : The Dark Knight that movie very nice la..

But this is a BAT, REAL BAT, not BATMAN.

There were so many fingers in the photo that i nearly miss the bat.

Why everyone just cant stop touching it???????

Poor thing...*sigh*

Then the prof showed us the ways to tag the bats, birds and the rats.

It seemed really painful~~

Look at the poor mice...

With the ugly 'earring' pierced.

*ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

On our way back out, we saw ants moving home.

Tu semua budak bandar tak pernah tengok semut b4, all seem very excited and kept looking and tracing the ants.

*sweat =.=*

Not forgetting, taking photo is a must !!!!!!!! ^^


*Jayne, me aka Sasa, Syndy*

P.S. I thought it would be a hot and tiring day, but i didnt even sweat during the field work =.=

til then...

More photos on Fac Nite !!!!!

me and our fac KING with his 'CROWN' !!!!

yea...jayne jayne and me~~
