masterpiece

Next, the new single by 川田まみ. It was released on the 4th last month, titled masterpiece. Some say the song sucks, but I say it is still OK. I consider it as pass, because I like the strange rhythm, though I like another song in this single more, 'jellyfish'. 'masterpiece' is the second OP of the anime To Aru Majutsu no Index. The tracks in this single are:
1. masterpiece
2. jellyfish
3. masterpiece instrumental
4. jellyfisj instrumental

One more week have passed and it's Friday again!! For those who do not believe what happened to Seansterz on last Saturday afternoon, please refer to his blog for the full and detailed account. I believe he did not like what I wrote and was pissed, so he decided to write his experience himself.

Yesterday was Thursday, which means Bio practical on the first 2 periods. We are supposed to make alginate beads and the whole class were so excited, even before this (when the lecturer told us we're doing alginate beads on Monday). She warned us not to play with the beads as some may have allergy to them, causing their hands to itch upon contact, so some girls in the class brought disposable gloves. Yes, they bought them and brought it to the lab (for those who think I'm pointing out them, please don't be offended)...

I took some pictures when doing the experiment, of course without the lecturer looking. First, we mix yeast together with the same amount of glucose solution. Next, we extract 3cm³ of the mixture, then add same amount of alginate. After stirring, add the mixture into a 3cm depth of calcium chloride using a glass rod, then, yeast-glucose alginate beads are formed.

Yeast-glucose Alginate Beads

We did another one using distilled water instead of glucose solution.

Yeat-distlled water Alginate Beads

Here is what happened when I just pour the mixture of yeast-distilled water into calcium chloride:

What are these? Tentacles LOL!

We are supposed to place an alginate bead into hydrogen peroxide solution to observe the activity of enzyme in yeast. Oxygen bubbles are formed around the beads and are used for the enzyme catalase to catalyse amylase. The beads will later float like this:

The yellow ones are taken from the other experiment

We also add the alginate beads in bromothymol blue solution. After 15 minutes, one of them turns from blue to yellow (pH6) and the other blue to green (pH7).


When the lab hours is over, some girls collected the beads and took them home. I wanted to take them home too, but still discarded them later since they will disappear eventually.

************************************************************

Since I posted so much pictures today, so I decided to post 1 more. This was what I cooked last Sunday (at last I moved my lazy hands and decided to cook). It was the second time I cooked myself this year xD. For 2 long months and I cooked twice only, the first time was the day before, Saturday night.



Stopping here now. Good night my blog!!

Came across this blog entry just now. It is intersting, so I thought I should post it here. Here it goes:

Sexting - Serious Consequences

Are your kids “sexting”? That is sending graphic images of themselves or friends to others via text messaging? This is a disturbing trend, that one recent study claims 20% of teens are engaged in this activity. Obviously, sexting can have significant consequences.

Sexting, while a relatively new term, is just another method of sending or accessing inappropriate content, and should be viewed as a form of online CyberBullying. This type of content, has in the past been emailed or posted on personal web pages, but has really taken off because texting is a primary method of communication amongst adolescents and young adults.

Is this simply a case of kids being kids, and making mistakes and bad choices? Or are these felonious activities that will have life-long consequences? Several recent high-profile cases now have lawmakers debating and scrambling on how to treat minors involved in these cases.

In Massachusetts, several boys face possible child pornography charges. Others states, including PA and OH have actually brought felony charges against minors for sexting. It appears that these cases have been settled with lesser charges, but clearly these can have a long-lasting effect.

Regardless of the interpretation of the laws on child pornography, the consequences of sexting can be far-reaching. The reputation of the child whose image is sexted can be sullied and leave them open to further cyberbullying. Images can be posted online, or traded in the digital underworld and find their way to child predators. Recipients and senders could be labeled sex offenders. These are all potentially life-ruining events.

Parents, wake up! We have to know what is happening online. Arm yourselves with knowledge. Ask questions, limit the use of technologies. The stakes are way too high to put our heads in the sand.

It was my college's open day yesterady morning. I did not go, but Seansterz told me that there was a constant flow of people going in and out, so nett flow is zero xD. I called him to have lunch together. When I got out of my unit, guess what happened? If a person with a bleeding nose came to you and say 'Hi', what will be your first reaction? If Seansterz did not greet me, I never knew that guy was him.

He banged himself on a metal pole when trying to pick up my call. I was speechless when I heard his explanation. 2 of his teeth were dangling, and he is sitting in the middle of the road crying. He said he asked for tissue paper from the guard house, but the security guards gave him newspaper instead. Hah, pawned by metal pole and a piece of newspaper!! Seansterz said most of the part was his carelessness, and some part was my fault, so I walked him to look for help. We walked pass 3 clinics at the same row as McD and all of them were having lunch break.

Then we were in front of A Qualitas Clinic. The nurse inside was reluctant to let Seansterz inside at first, keep making the hand sign 2 (or maybe victory?). What she meant was that the clinic will only be reopening at 2. He was let in later still and got his swollen wound fixed up by a Punjabi doctor, that was what he said. I have to sit in the clinic for 10+ minutes waiting for him. A small wound for 54 bucks, a price for cleaning up a small little wound with an injection LOL. That will be an experience for him, since he got so many attention from the others, especially when we sat down and had our lunch at 面对面.

10.43 a.m. now, have to think of what to do the whole day. By the way, the teeth and crying part is fake xD. Have to go now, ciao~~

At last Aqua Timez released thier new single, Velonica. I waited for this for sooooo long and was happy to get it. I can't stop listening to 'Velonica' when I got it. Here's the tracklist:
1. Velonica
2. 奏であい
3. 薫
4. Velonica (Instrumental)


That's all for today. I think I'll go sleep now. Nitez.


Yours truly,

It's TGIF! I feel like so many people went back to thier hometown, example Owen, Lalazai, Banana & Banana Tree, Nikky, Lily and also Wee San. Hmm... It's none of my business anyway. Our class had our Bio practical on Thursday, first thing in the morning. We were supposed to test the activity of the shoot of germinating green bean inside the hydrogen peroxide solution. Ms Balvinder later showed us the activities of Shirota's strand of Lactobascillus from one drop of Yakult, since we are studying about gene technology now. It was like a rain of rod shaped bacteria when projected onto the white screen. Someone suddenly suggested adding hydrogen peroxide into the slide (I think it was Seansterz or Nikky, one of them). After preparing the slides, we watch the bacteria activity on the white screen. It was a disaster LOL. Every bacteria were 'hyper-active', and thier numbers are reduced so much that we can recognise thier rod-shaped body so easily.

Before adding hydrogen peroxide (with Nikky's head included xD).

After adding hydrogen peroxide.

I'm in a dilemma right now. Suddenly thought of dropping Physics just before sleeping yesterday night, to be precise, this morning xD. I consulted Ms Agnes, and she insist me to stay, since I've attended most of the classes and almost finishing the syllabus. Someone just talked to me about this just now, and asked me to rant to someone when I need to. Well, at least I got 50% in EM induction. 4 people in class got the highest, which is only 69% LOL. At least I got to beat Nikky for once, hahah. Ms Indra returned our Differential Equation test papers few days ago. The total is 25 marks and i got 18, same as Nikky. If I keep this up, maybe I can get something in A2, but I think I'm screwed in Complex Numbers and also Vector.

Adding another post later...
