Exams and home

Exams coming up next week
And I'm eating a piece of chocolate everyday
Really bad..

Will be back after I come back from home..
Lots of things to post up but feel lethargic
Hope I'll regain the strength again soon

WHOAA!

I'm SERIOUSLY amazed with my housemate!! I really didn't want to blurt this out but I just can't help writing it here (forgive me for being emo but I really had big eyes looking at this!!)
Or I should say- 'no eyes to see'??

Last time, she placed the bleach on the kitchen sink. I was already...WT??!!
I had to clean the sink nicely and put the bleach onto the floor.

Just now, I saw her washing her clothes in the kitchen sink with a basin and a bottle of bleach for coloured clothes.
What's worst is that she keeps her basin in the kitchen cabinet *faint*
And she loves to leave her dishes there until it grow molds at times.
Imagine the amount of bleach in the plates that she has!

Shouldn't it be a COMMON sense that detergents and food should not mix together??
And she's already 29 years old!! What are all the knowledge beyond these years??

Really..
s-p-e-e-c-h-l-e-s-s!!

Ignorance is never a bliss~

First WB!

WB= western blot

Been in the lab for many weeks and this week, I get to learn and perform this! It involves a series of procedures to detect proteins of small molecular weights. Ah..forget the principle..

I did this!! And my senior said the bands looked nice! =D
Worth the full one-day effort for today.
But this will be continued on Monday for further blottings and detections. Then, it would be showed to my boss =.=""

Blue circle indicate 'unseen' proteins at the moment. Red circle is the marker (to find out the size of the proteins that I will be detecting on Monday)

What's nicer is I get to bury it! in ice;)


And this will be one of the routine work for me later on..

The Man Rules- err?

Just for laughs!! :D
Got from a friend who's frustrated with women I think;)

We always hear " the rules"
From the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. When we're working on the car or on the computer or watching sports, it doesn't mean we're mad at you or something is wrong.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
   

• Subtle hints do not work!
• Strong hints do not work!
• Obvious hints do not work!
• Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
   

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
   

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
   

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something. Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
   

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you hav e to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
   

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
   

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We w ill act like nothing's wrong.We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
   

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
For men- for a laugh.
To women- for a bigger laugh..

Did you know?

A little too not over you

Singapore Science Centre

My previous trip to SSC was an eye-opening one, but my system (that's me!) had been lagging enough to post this up..

Well, it wasn't that I was lazy but these few weeks had been one of the most 'coping-up-with-life-but-not-doing-that-well weeks'. So many sad events had taken place that I wasn't really in the mood of writing anything..

Anyway, life has to go on no matter what happens. Be it you want it or not. So, instead of mourning or being more sad, I choose to go on with a better perception of life.

So ta daa~~ my belated Science Centre Visit...here you go!

This was taken during the lining up to buy the admission tickets.

We've noticed that the mirror could shield the operator directly from any err..saliva that might be sprinkled out by customers. As you know, this shield also means that we can't hear much of what she's saying so she had to use a microphone and a speaker to transmit it to us.. Well, science really does help and applied at this Science centre.

I remember going to some places in which we had to "huh??" whenever there's a mirror shield because we can barely hear what the other party is talking about.

JK the Magician

Actually, the Magic show was quite okay- at least there were performances that did entertained us. For example, he managed to hold a rope with one hand. If only I get to touch it and see if there's a steel in it...It looked so rigid!

The Lightning effects

You get to press a button and the miniature lightning will appear.

High technology kids' games

At this I-space section, which was also my favorite section of all, you can see various high-technology gadgets. For example, this game whereby small kids can roll the dice and the game will proceed in the monitor. There were also some other games such that is similar to Wii, but you use your hand as a weapon (in those war-laden games) or as tools, or even this one, below:-

Our hand acts as a cursor to move the slides on the huge screen!

Imagine those times when you are lazy to move your hands for exercising, this is when you can burn some calories! Yup, since futuristic gadgets will tend to make human less need for movements and work (reminiscing WALLE).

This one really 'awwwwwwed' me to the max!!

In this mini studio, you get to experience the TRUE HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO SYSTEM!
Just sit comfortably on the chair and you get to click on a remote control placed nearby for whatever movie that you are interested in. We chose classical music and the effect was "Wowww!"

You can really feel as if you are in a symphony orchestra., especially with the huge screen and in this cozy room. Imagine if you're watching a thriller movie..I bet you really can't sleep that night.

There was another section at the Human Body Section that did amazed me for the wonderful 3D show. After wearing the black shades, we get to see how virus invades our body cells and stay in our DNA and continue replicating. It was nice and interactive.

That was all. There was a section that we've missed going- the ecology park. Maybe at the next round ;)

So long~~

End to a struggling tale

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Tong Chow Chin's, who had passed away after succumbing to leukemia. His few months of battle was though unseen, but strongly felt. He remained strong till the end.

He was a great teacher, a wonderful friend and a compassionate lecturer. It was definitely a great loss to all of us here who were once inspired by him.
