I did GEL ELECTROPHORESIS today!!

One really fantastic thing about H3 is that the practical lessons are really awesome. You get to handle the up-to-date machinery eg. spectrophotometer etc. and conduct experiments which appeared in your textbook but you'll never get to because the school has pathetic funds. haha.

I was kind of excited today and i kept going back to the lab next-door to check if my agarose gel has solidified. Teresa claimed that i looked like some child bursting with curiosity! The hardest part is loading the dye into the wells because the wells are really small! My hands were trembling while doing so but once you succeeded, you do feel extremely accomplished:) Some guy complained to Dr. Kenneth Yu and he was like, uhm.. you can invent bigger ones next time. haha. After the gel-E, we proceeded to take a photo of the gel (autoradiography!) using some high-tech machine.

Here's the absolutely cool pic:

The ethidium bromide takes gazillion years to absorb the UV light in the machine so me, chex, amanda and teresa began to chat and gossip. haha. It was incredulously entertaining, esp the part on the freaking annoying rj guy *winks*.


Some random photos from my phone:

Shermain ng is narcissistic. *shakes head in disapproval*

I really want to go wy's house if not for that preparation for pw presentation. I can't believe that pw is haunting me again. GRR. haha.

I saw vvtan, wangxua and huiwen today! omg, i feel exhilarated! haha. I haven't been meeting up with them so long and i missed them really really much! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

Ivytan finally admitted that i looked demure, yay! *no rolling or eyes or whatsoever*

Happy birthday NgShermainYaLi!

I visited the doctor again today but it was the chinese physician this time. The western medicine didn't seem to work at all and I feel erm.. agonized. Ma Guang charged a lot like $65 so I really hoped the med will work:)

Valentines Day with Imaginary friends 1 & 2.

I soooooo love this ya?!

We ended up eating more and gaining more fats than what exercise could burn. HAHA.

Imaginary friend 1: die. i'm eating like a post-famine refugee

Imaginary friend 2: who cares! It's valentines!

HAHA

anyway, just because of someone's nonsensical suggestion, i have to type out "imaginary friend 1 and 2" :)

From left: friend 1, friend2 and mui!

oh. i wore flats. the first and the last time.

I feel so drained. Those abominable coughs had caused headaches and stomachaches for 2 weeks and i hate to admit that there's no sign of recovering.

I know this is totally random but i really miss shopping. Buying clothes has never fail to make me feel better but now i can't find the time of it. I feel utterly horrible.
