Group work? NOT!!

It's been quite some time since I blogged, (again), but I can't help it, no one blogs anymore, and I don't have much interest in it these days as well. :/ But anyway, what I am going to do with this entry is complain. Sorry!!

Most people know that I do not usually go emo or complain in my blog, and most also know that I have a never mind la or don't care la attitude. But when you have gone too far, you have gone too far, and what's more, you wont admit it.

Recently, I have had a lot of status on Facebook, complaining about group assignments, most people would know that I must have some frustrations regarding group members. Are they even MEMBERs?? I THINK NOT. And what's more, after ALL THAT. Nothing. Nada. Still as problematic as ever. We have been pushing and pushing several weeks ahead, saying that we are busy with one more additional subject, please start first, but I have NO IDEA how the rest of us can end up correcting everything and rushing like mad near the dateline!!!!

And when the rest of us are saying what you did was wrong, then please just admit and say you are wrong and will change it please. You wont listen to anything others have to say unless a lecturer directly says it!! Then what is the FREAKING POINT YOU ARE WORKING AS A GROUP??? Was arguing with us some more.

And its not just me, I would like to forgive and forget, but it has been 2 semesters, we have been helping you with all the assignments marks, when we worked SO hard, but you think that as long as you have done one SINGLE part, you have contributed and then disappears for 2 WHOLE semesters. I just can't. I have seen you panicking for individual assignments but not for our group ones. Are you even doing it on purpose?

I know you are transferring soon, and we may not meet each other again, but please, can you just realize your mistakes? I have never made a post like this, but this time, its different.

But knowing you, you will think you are in the right, and you deserve the marks. And then forget about our feelings. Well then , let's just hope we never meet again.

Bio Lab Equipments 101

So, I decided to upload these equipments found mostly in our Genetics lab, cos they are much more sophisticated than the ones found in our Year 1 laboratories, which we share with pre-u students. All these equipments I guess, are those that will be found in a real Bio lab in companies, so I just wanted to post about them :)

Electrophoresis - You know those tests to determine paternity and all that? Ya, this is what they use

Pipettes in various sizes

Rocker - To let solution cover the agarose gel

Blender - Blending chicken liver, producing fragments of DNA

Refrigerated centrifuge

Shaker (?) To help shake solutions mechanically

Test tube rack

Spectophotometer

Story of My Life

KLCC + Petaling Street

Sunday, the day after we went to Melaka. NK really wanted to go (to take pics), so we took the KTM to KL in the afternoon.

Suria KLCC

There's nothing really special about the place, just a shopping mall, with all those really branded shops which I may never be able to afford. KLCC is not my scene as of now. But honestly, I am getting tired of shopping malls, they are all the same.

We went outside and do touris-y things, nothing much to show (and yup, this two dudes again)

Moving on to Petaling Street, found out the way there from a tourist guidebook found in Kinokuniya (we are so resourceful):

All those fake branded goods

And I honestly do not feel comfortable having fake Burberries or Loius Vuittons with me. I feel like, if you want to own one, then settle for the real thing, nothing less will do.

Had luk luk for dinner. The pictures are self-explanatory right? It's getting pretty late and I am quite lazy to continue typing. So I'll just end this post here. :) Till next time

Melaka Trip

Our Melaka trip, a few days before second semester started, it was a totally random decision, we just knew we wanted to head out somewhere. We were discussing KL, then Zoo Negara, then why not Zoo Melaka, and then it was decided then and there Melaka it is.

Taking the KTM to Seremban, where we boarded a bus to Melaka

Melaka Sentral, the one stop to head to everywhere and anywhere in Melaka (It is SUCH a small state!). Asked around and found out Zoo Melaka is located in Ayer Keroh, but we missed a bus due to some, err, problems, if you know what I mean (I bet u dont, cause I am being totally vague here).

Majilis Pembandaran Melaka

The zoo and look how skinny I was here! One Chinese new year and poof! Rounder me T.T

Look at this poor little thing being tied up like that

Parrots

Small horses

One huge animal which at one point got aggressive at us, my friends say it was because it saw a red shirt but aren't they colour blind?

Lazy tiger, actually most animals looked like that all day, must be the captivity.

#And not a single fuck was given that day

Mini Safari! And I looked kinda retarded here!

Enjoying its mud bath

Waiting to get on the bus back to Melaka Sentral, weather was scorching hot

Next stop: Christchurch Melaka, birds took a dump right on top of me here at night time, while we were waiting for the bus

where we took obligatory tourist shots

and more (the sun was setting and we were rushing like mad)

and more, love this shot by the way

A ship that is actually a museum, found it out from the landmark keychains we bought

Love this shot!!

Decided to try out the Melaka River Cruise, very beautiful scenery, Melaka is such a beautiful state.

The tickets used

And that's the summary of the trip, I would also like to mention that we headed back home around 10pm, where ALL the last buses bound for Seremban had left, and we were panicking until, alas, one last bus heading to Seremban! Amen!

I kinda forgot to add in some pics here and there, but this is decent enough right? More on my other trips soon! :)) And thanks to my friend Ngee Kiat, most pics were stolen from him
