3 Most Awesome Days of My Life

Here's a photo of the Proteos building :) , which I took in the morning when I got out of the car. The grey building on the right is Neuros.....

First thing today, we took our stuff out of the incubator to see the results. Then we put the nematodes onto the bacterial lawns (by using a wash solution and pipetting them) of both the wild and modified AHL producing bacteria.

The purple bacteria are cool XD

That's a colony though, not a single cell....

Then we have to wait 5 hours to see any results XD so we visited the fruit fly research lab. They use flies as a model for the human neuron network, to study diseases such as Alzheimer's etc. I was quite stunned by the scientist there, she didn't move away from the microscope for the whole time we were there (except once to plug in something), and she looked like she had been there for hours. She was doing something using needles under the microscope, and was totally focused. The scientists here are like mega passionate.....

Then we went to visit the DNA sequencing lab, which was really cool :D 

After that we went to one of the sky-bridges for a photo taking session. It was like our last day, and we got like mega high :D And it was the funnest photo taking session I have ever been to XD There was a huge amount of jokes about silly poses, and about the bridge falling down cos we wanted to do a jump shot XD This is the serious one.....

See the rest of the photos from the whole 3 days here :) There are a lot more with the other people in their Facebook pages :D

Then was lunch. Yesterday, I met Joshua Kwan. He came to me and asked me whether I know Michael Kwan. I was, yeah I heard of him but never met him before.

Having lunch with quiet people is a startling experience :P I was going for lunch with Zhe Wen and friends who was sitting next to me. Then Joshua asked if he could tag along with his friend from his school. And we were like yeah why not. So we went, and we bumped into Daryl. So we all had lunch together. 

Zhe Wen and his friends finished and left early, cos some of them had to rush off for something. The Daryl finished and went back to Proteos. So I was left with Joshua and his friend. Joshua is like really really quiet and shy. I was talking most of the time. And I chose to talk about all the stuff we did to Ms Fiona Ho. I think he thinks that I am some kinda pai kia now.... oh no.... XD

Anyway Joshua, if you read this, I'm not a pai kia. Not alot anyway.....

Then when I got back, everyone was frantically adding each other on Facebook :P So yeah, that's what we spent the rest of our lunch time on.....

I also took the photos of the samples and petri dishes. 

These are the nematodes....

Then still got a lot of time after lunch, so everyone was talking about a lot of random stuff :D And we spend some time putting the pipette tips into the pipette boxes. Decided to spell "ALI" with one box... XD

And we did random caricatures of people on the whiteboard XD.....

You can see the rest of my photo's here :) Its different from the link above...

Then got back our results, which more or less fitted with the expected results. The worms died as appropriate.

Before we went home we all signed/doodled on a paper that will be stuck on one of the notice-boards on level 4 together with our group photo :D ..... (I am the "ALI" with the spiky hair drawing thingy... XD)

I hope we all get to meet again someday :) Everyone I met are so awesome :D The researchers we worked with, this group of students..... We took away more than science facts, cos we brought back with us the friendships that we made.....

This is something I'll always remember with a smile.....

Cos its been the three most awesome days of my life :)
