MICRO = small
BIO = life
-LOGY = studies
I'm moving on to Microbiology from this week onwards for 3 weeks. I haven't really started learning about it yet so all I know now is that it's all about *wonderful* and *gigantic* names! But I'm definitely going to conquer it! Hurray~
Okay, so today, I had a pretty wonderful session in the laboratory. I had Gram Stain session =) ( Gram Stain is developed by Christian Gram in the 19th century (it's in the notes)) I learnt how to stain bacteria using Gram Stain method and identify Gram positive or Gram negative bacteria.
I stained E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus and got to see E.Coli appeared pink(Gram-) whereas S.aureus appeared purple(Gram+). They looked so small even under a light microscope but they can be so harmful that might result in very high mortality in human beings. I put on the gloves and sterilized the entire working place, and started the task very carefully. I don't want to bring the germs home!
I enjoyed the session so much. Although it's inevitably tiring looking through the small lenses of the microscope.
All the best for your coming 3 weeks of Microbiology, and then you're freed for Christmas holiday! Yeah.

Updates =) =) =)
Wuahha...The last time I blogged was almost 10 days ago! Looks like I've been pretty lazy nowadays huh.
Well, I didn't blog doesn't mean that nothing special has happened. In fact, I've learnt so much these past days. I'm having one whole week of Pharmacology with Dr. Kyan Aung now and I'm trying hard to fall in love with Pharmaco. It's all about drugs. If you think that what you're learning is as simple as that, then you're very wrong. But if you relate Pharmaco with so many things else and then you get to know how a tiny bit of chemical that you swallow can create such a vast effect. It's all about poisons, I'd rather say. Now I understand why is it so important to prescribe the correct drugs, and at times even if the doctor prescribes correctly, it doesn't give 100% guarantee to the patient that the drug will bring benefit to the patient at all. Through Pharmaco, I find that our body system is miraculous. And scientists who discovered the ways drugs act in human bodies are way too fascinating to be described with words.
Wuahha...I'm spending more time at school now. I want to find time for myself. It's either the library or one of the e-lab where I got to find myself a lovely favourite spot of mine to do my stuff.
Enjoy!

How's life, dey.
"Finally I'm blogging dey..."
I think it's almost 3 weeks since the last time I jotted down my memories here. Hmm...It's been pretty busy all this while. Lecture notes are piling up. I need a lot of time to catch up! OR I should put it another way, I need to catch up faster...because the amount of time is constant.
Am I crapping now? It sounds like so. But I've way too many things to express so I'll wantonly allow myself to blurt everything out.
I'm doing Immunology and Pathology now, supposedly entering Foundation 2. I think it's fun. At some point of time it makes me feel like I'm beyond control. The cells in my body are fighting for the best thing for me but yet I'm wasting so much of my life on craps. It is like..."come on, you have no reason to stop working hard because your heart is pumping hard, and your every cells in your body have been doing a great job..." I guess this is one of the reason I have to work hard consistently.
Never let stress manipulate you. You have to manipulate it. You live your life.
