Rats

March 28, 2009 · Filed under Joy, Rants

Oh, i should have published this way earlier…

I’ve chosen my supervisor to be non other then Prof Francis Achike with the research involving regional differences in perivascular adipose tissue affect on contractility of aorta.

Quite a mouthful, but i would think it would be quite an interesting topic to do since there is such little work being done in this area.

However, the fun thing about this project, is that i get to pull rat tails.

How and why you might ask?

  1. Grab your victim experimental subject by the tail.
  2. Put it on the table and cover it’s head with a cloth.
  3. Apply pressure on the neck of the subject with a straight object like a pair of scissors, a pen, or your thumb.
  4. Next, once the subject has stopped squirming about or urinated all over the place, using your hand on the tail, firmly yet professionally, apply pressure posteriorly.
  5. Cervical dislocation performed, and the dissection can begin.

Isn’t that kewl!!?!??!?!

You know that feeling? Where when you just open a door into a room full of people, and the minute those people saw you, a smile just floods over their face. They start approaching you, arms extended, grabbing your hands like a hungry third world country boy grabs UN supplies, voicing “Hey [insert name here]!! It’s been quite some time!! Why so late???”. Then you smile or laugh back at them, returning their hand shakes and their hugs as though you’ve found something that you’ve lost for a long time.

Yea… i really kinda miss that feeling. I miss that statistic where you recognize 1 in 5 people that goes pass you in school. I feel quite alienated in a very lonely place, where just very suddenly, all of my friends have just quite literally died. And there’s this voice in my heart yelling “Hey!! there’s something not quite right here…”. The halls of IMU are now littered with unfamiliar faces, all of which makes me feel more and more like a first year.

Then i kinda look back in the days where we were in our prime. Strutting the corridors as if we owned the place. In groups, we would lunch together, study together, do shit together… Now’s quite impossible to do all that, and it’s just a month since BmedScience started.

Don’t get me wrong. I still have awesome company like brain, the punjab, the pooch, the massy, and the silly girl. Of which we hang out, do shit, entertain each other, and look out for one another. And i have my houseamtes, kim, joon, sarah, kwan and a bunch of others, who just complete my campus life in IMU. However the feeling is just not quite the same anymore.

I’ve been moving from place to place frequently almost all my life, where i had to adapt to changing environments, with new friends, faces, foods, and situations. But this is the first time i am feeling this emptiness. Maybe this is because it’s the first time i’ve ever bonded so closely to my batchmates before. Or to have the privillege for having awesome people surround me. The dilution effect of friends going overseas to study is quite devastating in a sense that there’s just no one to crap with you any longer.

I miss you guys, yet

Adaptation is needed…

Looks like i’ve been neglecting my blog for quite some time~ but anyway will give it a small update on what has happened lately~

  1. Had an awesome deja vu experience with the new canteen operators nasi lemak!
  2. Went to Melaka with Anthony and co. Was a superb weekend with my Macallen, a bit of greens, and awesome company!
  3. Also surprised (well half surprised) Yannee when i was down at Seremban to witness the Sem 6 Orientation.
  4. Missed most of the Sem 6 Orientation. But i miss all my friends who were there. Miss the times we had in the lecture theater, greeting each other in the hallway and bullying a few people along the way. Miss Ramzi and Wen Chung, who looked half dead even on their first day. It’s nice to know that there are some places where seriously, everybody knows your name.
  5. Sent Michelle, Mervin, Paul, and Ben Luke of to Dundee… Wasn’t really that sad until when me and Michelle were offline chatting on msn because of the time zone difference. That made me really really sad and a sudden feeling of void appeared in me. Sigh~ everybody’s leaving…
  6. I need to take more picture~~~ I looooove the mich’s dSLR!!!
  7. Bmed Science started, Francis I Achike to be my new surpervisor, with Jian Loong as my partner! We get to pull rat tails to kill them!
  8. Marley and Me was awesome! I would think it a difficult movie to make actually considering labradours to be very hard to handle little creatures. Not as accurate in the book, but well delivered.

Well that’s about it~ might go into detail what happened in each event!! Man this is becoming an assignment!!:)
