Bitter makes u sick…

i think i remember tellin somone tat this entry will be funnie…but i hardly think so now…

anw…last thu was a pretty sick day…as my classmates and i work on overdosing ourselves with paracetamol….no…..we are not abusing ourselves…but we were tryin out the diff “flavours” of panadol available in the market…it’s strictly for educational purpose…but it was sick to eat so much paracetamol even when u r not sick…whew…however, here is a summary (in my own opinion) of the diff products:-

Panadol (tab) : common sense will tell u tat this is for swallowing…so no real tasting of product…so we didn’t take this…fooled ya XD

Panadol syrup for kids (strawberry n orange): if u r counting on the taste to be like fruit juice…………just go drink fruit juice…personally these two taste more like cough syrup…even though my lecturer said tat orange mask the taste more (do note tat paracetamol on its own is very very very bitter), i think the strawberry does it better, cos eventually wat u taste is just a lot of sugar …best to note tat one of the “side effects” is hyperactivity in the child… 

Panadol chewable: some of my classmates liked it…but to me, it’s too medicinal…it still taste like cough syrup…esp those red coloured syrups…it’s tolerable in any case…but i don’t think it would be a first choice recommendation….unless the patient doesn’t like tabs…

Panadol cold remedy (lemon): this is actually to be added to hot water…this is case, the slight sourness of lemon comes out really nicely, but its the bitter aftertaste tat kills…so u may get sick while drinking the same cup of solution…

Panadol soluble: this one is like those Redox efferverscene tabs tat dissolve in water…the one surprisingly thing was tat this solution (when added to water) taste just like salt water…which was weird cos i don’t recall any bitterness…so if u are tabs-intolerable…this might be good for u

Then…following thu was fri…it was lab day…as we worked in teams of 9 to try and “zonk out” our white mice…at tat pt…i felt like singing the theme song of “Pinky and the Brain”….they’re lab mice…etc.etc.etc…

so this was the whole scenario in the 2.5 hrs we were there…when u first walk in…everyone goes “Ahhh!!! so cute!!!!!”…then when the video of expt instructions was shown….”Huh…so poor ting”….then when expt started…”Ahh!!! it’s running away, catch it catch it!!!”…then when it zonked out and was slowly recover to get back on its feet…”push it down on the side n wait lah….stop playing with them lah!!!”…then when the expt is done…”Man, they really stink”…(as in smell stink becos the mice kinda relieved themselves while we were to expt on them)….

n on a final note…w/o revealing too much info of the expt…my fren got bitten…n bled…but did not die XD…she’s fine actually cos she said tat she’s used to it from keeping hamsters in the past…

plus…a very silly thing tat my classmate did…he meowed……………………………………………….Erm…these are lab mice…i hardly think they have ever seen a cat b4…  

Facultative aerobes…if only we were

apologies once again for late late update…though i doubt a mass audience is seriously waiting for this sequel…but yes i’m back to reveal my inner most thoughts (innerman: the inner most evil and naughty thoughts…hee hee hee)…(me: quiet u!!!)…yes, my thoughts to u guys so tat i can make u think u guys will noe me more…hee….just kidding XD

the macau 4th day is currently put on hold…two reasons for tat…currently new stuff is coming to my brain…and i nearly forgot wat happened on the 4th day in macau by now…but no worries…it will be back…soon, i hope….

so anw…my fren celebrated his b-day in somewat jan…i was unable to attend so i got him a present n met up with him later to pass it to him…i kinda snugged a church bulletin inside it, hoping the word of God will do some prompting in his heart…

when we met up, i was kinda sad when he said tat i HAVE NOT CHANGED AT ALL…ok, so maybe this doesn’t mean too much, u noe, like guys like to say some things in a ’safe’ manner, so tat they don’t get killed by the feminine creature tat stand b4 them…but it was upsetting for me cos i thought i made some major changes these past 8 yrs (we hadn’t met since, or perhaps tat one time when we visited our pri sch, whose has now lost most of the values i once remembered) but it didn’t seem so to him, considering tat i’ve accepted Jesus into my life…makes me feel as if the Light isn’t shining…sad sad…

plus…he didn’t seem to respond well to the folder…must try to ask him abt it again…n pray tat the words in it will touch his heart…i noe it did once to another fren of mine n i’m sure it will again this time…Jesus, lead…

anywho…he liked his present…n another fren of mine (not to be associated w the 1st fren) also liked her present too…though her present was more of a joke initially, cos i got her (under PT’s suggestion) a bracelet tat is attached to a ring via a chain…considering chain is her nick…i guess it is appropriate after all…anw, i was glad she liked it…

oh yes….we started on microbiology work this sem…amazingly, i have been whispering sweet nthgs to my colonies of bacteria n fungi, n apologising to them profusely if i stained (with dye n ink) them too hard…many a time, my classmate next to me think i was sending her a verbal love msg, but most of u would noe very well tat my sweet nthgs (currently) are meant for God n micro-organisms onli…sorry guys

the most recent expt on microbio is on aerobic bact, or aerobes…though knowing the need for oxygen in us, i sometimes wish to be a facultative aerobe…oxygen or no oxygen…i’m a survivor…but God made us the way we are…so, ok then…i love oxygen…(pls pls in any case, nvr breathe in pure oxygen, mix with a little helium first)

project work this sem is not too bad…though tuts are killin me…i wished tat i had more courage to do more tings…n btw…doing work on bact. and disease can get quite scary too…like yesterday when i talked to my mom abt eczema, she started itching all over…hee…But it’s not my fault!
