yesterday was busying tar tar-sheeping...i mean datasheets, majorty of DBT students of 03 are like busying with datasheets, as there were 3 of it due to today. 1 group datasheet, and 2 individual ones. The other 2 classes were busy too with the group datasheets, and mostly it is only 1 person busying. What happen was that 1 had to do the datasheet that was claimed as "group". I am not the only one that was pissed, people like zhi hao, kah yan, dawn and many more are pretty pissed. Cos it is said to be group but only 1 person is doing. On top of it the marks are shared by 3 people, so the other 2 jsut leech on that one. The worse happening is when the results are not very "beautiful" the person doing gets the blame.Haiz, i guess this problem is always un-avoidable. This is not the 1st time that we are encountering this, so just swollow bahx...Did finish the goup datasheet at 12plus nearly 1am. So today lesson was, quite tiring for me. Biostats was the one that I nearly can't pull through, the other 2 lessons were practical so moving around keeps me more awake. In Biochem we were handling egg, cos we wanted the albumin in the egg white. So was havving fun with just taking the egg white out from the egg, there was a lot of waiting time so peeled the egg shells. Then we did separation of the protein from haemoglobin,which was fun too:




Egg white after the 1st centrifugation:


The drop of buffer coming out from the column:

The brown and pink are protein from haemoglobin:

we collected them in test tubes:




So that was biochemical techniques, I had my fair share of knowledge during the applied microbiology practical too. Today we had a new agar, but still prefer mackonkey and nutrient agar cos they got chicken essence smell, the new agar we came across is Baird Parker agar, it smells something like bird nest. Did not really like the smell, but we were not suppose to smell it too. Did alot of spread plate, 3 huge stack of it,

plus we look at S. aureus, the one that we knew of was white colonies, but the one we saw was black colonies which was pretty cool to us.




On top of all that we had food microbiology, we had nasi lemak for experiment. Wanna know how nasi lemak looks like in ur stomach? Look at the picture taken, we did not get someone to eat it and vomit it out, we allow the stomacher to do the job.



I realise with this kind of weather, a lot of us are falling sick. In class there was a lot of people coughing, and sutomo is also losing his voice le. Must take care bahx...Not only to our body but also to the Mother Earth. Coause of us not loving our her, thus the hot weather is a warning to us bahx...

Got a nice quote(a chunk of words) from my 2nd brother:

Behind every problem is a cause.
Never go back to the cause of a problem.
Because the cause of the problem will never be a solution to solve that problem.
Without the cause there won't be any problem.

wahaha...cool? i wonder did he came out with this himself...=)
