Brain Dissection

This is the pretty much delayed post about my brain dissection class..

I'll let the pictures below speaks for itself:)

That's just part of the brain.

We were asked to identify the brain parts. Hence we were taking out each part of it to find out which part is which..

It's a cow brain btw.

After we are done with it..

I am allowed to play with it for a bit..

Tore the brain apart with my hands:)

The white matter looks like tofu and it feels like tofu when you touch it=P

The treadmill

Mid sem break came to an end and I'm back to campus.

Yeah I am not really excited about going back. But then again, I have a month left before my semester break. That means my finals is in one month time too. Yay?

Lessons were rather dull and draggy today for some reason. Might be due to the mid sem break hangover. LOL!X)

The night before I baked=D



Oh gosh. I wanna gooooooooooooooooooooo

The break and Judgement Day?

Today is Judgement Day!*grins*

I'm looking forward to bid goodbye to the month to May and say hello to the month of June although that will mean that my finals days will be drawing nearer and nearer to my door and it will also mean that it'll be the end of my second year semester one. Wow. Time really flies! I am still trying to grasp the whole idea that time is ticking faster than ever.

So yeah, I do not want the world to come to an end today. So God please give me an extension since I have a lot of duties here. I still need to save the world

So my break isn't all about catching up with assignments. Maybe for the first few days I am always in front of my laptop typing away. But after I am done with another research paper lit review I can almost feel the burden half lifted up from my shoulders although I am only 50% done with the other research paper which will be due on the 3rd of June (again, another reason why I want an extension to live, God. Not only I love my life, and I am making full use of it. I put in effort in my work and I bet you don't want it go wasted. Actually I don't want to have it go wasted). LOL!

Not like I believe in those 2012 and world will come to an end soon crap. It might come to an end, only if God swipe all all men in the world first. But that will only happen when the Y chromosomes disappear completely from the earth a billion years later and I have like how many years more to live? And if there's no library or books anywhere in the after life world, I don't think I wanna die just yet.X)Unless awesome and incredible authors are there to write and publish a book it'll be uber cool. Damn I shouldn't get carried away with those thoughts those awesome authors will be needed here to inspire others=)

No kidding. Not being sexist or something but the Y chromosomes will extinct one day. Biomedical researchers are trying to find another way out to it now.

Anyhoo, I had a movie night with Jyun on Wednesday to wind down*grins* We watched Fast Five. It was a pretty spontaneous plan. Anyhoo, it was a good movie. I super love the speed=D

We had our shooting for our video assignment which will be due..erm..I don't know when. Seriously, I don't remember given much of a thought for that subject. Pretty redundant subject cause we are learning the same thing and same terms over and over again. They should offer something cool for our compulsory subject (e.g., web designing, philosophy, anthropology, world history). Again, people will grumble more if they happen to ask us to do deeper stuff like philosophy, anthropology or world history. Only freaks have interest in those apparently. Heh. Sarcasm.

My definition for compulsory subject that they offer: A subject which is meant for you to feel obligated to bother about it and it's pretty much very redundant when comes the stuff that you are going to learn. In short, it's a utter waste of time.

I gotta stop ranting.

Gotta. get. started. with. work.

Have a pleasant weekend=)

Swamped

How is it possible that I am working longer hours than usual when I have a break?! (how to spell break again?)

Oh right.

This "break" is meant for me to catch up with the upcoming datelines. For some reason, work kept piling up. I am pretty sure those reviews, quizzes, and take home tutorial work isn't in the outline <-- (denial). I've probably mentioned this before but I am gonna mention it again, I am so swamped with work and the work seem to not come to an end=_____________________________=

It's 2.25am now and I think I've at least sat in front of the laptop researching and typing for at least 12 hours. My grasp of reality = living on dateline schedules. I am not complaining, at least I am trying not to. LOL! I am just a tiny bit exhausted.

Just a tiny bit=)

Hey I am just being human alright?

Thank goodness for the "double date" on Friday with the bestie and her beloved *grins*.

I dissected cow brain the other day. Will update you guys with pictures of our lab work later. For now. I need to sleep. Yawnnnn.......

I am back!

Hola!!!

I am back!

I've been super busy lately. Caught up with uni work. I hardly can find time to update my blog. Yes I am that swamped with work. So much so whenever I sat down and try to type a post for my site all I can think of is my work. And I know I wouldn't be able to come out with something interesting if I keep going on and on about my research.

For the past few weeks, I've handed in 2 assignments (or was it 3?). Conducted an experiment to test on brain hemisphere. Got home from campus at around 11.30pm just because my group mates and I havta work on our assignment since it's due the next day. Went for dinner with some of the bird gang. Got caught up in some group conflict, solved it, and moved on. Knew that I can't really rely on some people although they are meant to be treated like an adult. Skip a lot of meals just to work on my tasks, lost 1kg in one week, walked a lot (like A LOT!), met an accident for the first time, got freaked out multiple of times, and knew that I am not built to do last minute work (pictures below will explain everything).

The accident:

- I met an accident when I was on my way back from campus. A taxi driver, for some reason, didn't see the signal that I flashed ages before I switched lane, speed up suddenly and kissed my car's butt. Went to the police station for the first time to lodge a report although I know there's nothing that the police can do and also realized how sucky the police here are. Not only they are rude, but they are not exactly helpful at all. God knows why my parents dragged me to the station that Monday when I already feel super exhausted after one long day at campus. Damn you taxi driver. Since that accident I am wary of all taxi drivers on the road. They don't know how to use the signal apparently. Most of them will appear from no where. But I got home safe. Phew.=)

Group conflicts:

- As usual when you work in a group, you'll have a few of them who play their part as a social loafer. Not that I can force them to do much when the stuff that they do, they don't bother checking before submitting it to you cause they usually assume that the group leader will check everything for them and pick up their shit if their work isn't good enough. I am thinking if they want to flung this semester please don't pull me with them. Hence, I'll havta polish their work for them just so my grades wouldn't be affected. At least I have Kai Li and Chee Boon. Kai Li is super efficient when comes to getting things done and it's so much better to have someone like her to brain storm with. Chee Boon on the other hand, played his part to solve all the technical problems in the group.

At least I am not a last minute person. If I didn't insist that the rest of the group members to hand in their research findings a week before the dateline, the day before the dateline I'll be bawling instead of reorganizing all the research findings.

Most of us were busy working on a particular assignment. Even on the day of the dateline, we were still working on it. Polishing and reorganizing our work.

Pictures below explains everything:

We went to get our Frappucino from Starbucks before we went for dinner. Since we all need to stay awake longer, especially me, hence I need another doze of caffeine in my system.

My Mocha Frappucino.

I've been drinking a lot of coffee lately. Within one week, I drank at least 6-7 cups of coffee. Depending on whether I took a double doze of caffeine from the one I had the first thing in the morning to keep me going.

My classes had been long. Some are pretty draggy, namely Comm Skills class. It's a class where we all don't find it a point since everything that are being taught to use had been taught to us before so it's really redundant. Then again, our attendance is really important for that class. It's like Malaysian Studies. Crappy subject and an utter waste of time. We had to stayed back for that class TWICE a week. Pfft.

I can't go on a coffee diet when I consistently need to keep myself awake with the help of it. It's like a drug. Or a placebo effect. Maybe I don't need caffeine in my system, but if I don't consume it, I can't function properly. Oh no. I sound like someone with a coffee addiction. Darn it.

I also did my experiment. Managed to complete it within 2 days*grins*

The brain pic below that are scattered on the table is our assignment.

Jyun gave me a book=) He managed to get his friend from UK to hunt for the book for it. I can't find it here and I know that the bookstore in the UK should have it. Jyun surprised me with the book by placing it on my lap yesterday *grins*. Thank you so so sooooooo much, Jyun=D

Half a year
