Today's experience at imcb was much better than yesterday's. No more stoopid extraction of yeast cells its just working with them now. Just basic electrophoresis and using a membrane to imprint proteins before staining them so the bands become visible for analysis. It was actually much more interesting to be able to handle the gel and squeeze tiny amounts of cells into the "wells" in the gel ourselves, then like transfering the gel with the protein bands on them onto the membrane, hoping that the gel wouldnt slide off the glass plate prematurely or tearing when we were cutting away the excess pieces :P
haha i got to eat at the Ghim Moh marketplace for the first time. The food's nothing special but their sugar cane juice comes in a man big mug and is soooo addictive. Haha more more. Yun Ling queued up for char keow teow which was supposed to be quite famous but it turned out quite a disappointment just some brown stuff with mussels and lard ><
Oh and the RG girls are quite crazy. They got bored while waiting for their results and they just started playing this sadistic game where one girl would hold the other girl's hand and the two would play scissors paper stone and the loser would get rapped on the arm. One of the girls (Xian Ying i think) was damnn pro at this she literally never cringed even when the other girls were slapping her on the wrist and recoiling when she whipped theirs and her skin was so red but apparently it doesnt hurt. And she totally owned all the other girls. RESPECT.
