had my last microbes lab today!! woohoo? microbes is pretty fun and interesting actually... but im just glad labs are over. doing lab work for microbes actually made me think twice when dealing with stuff.
like seriously, these days i get paranoid easily. like i would think, 'eh, i keep coughing lah, im spreading bacteria everywhere..' or when im dealing with chicken etc.. i'll keep washing my hands etc. back then whenever i get cough or flu, i'll be like, heaty lah..din drink enough water etc. bt it is due to bacteria infection that i get all the inflammatory response.. thus the sore throat rite? hrm...
so i always think.. eww.. i have heaps of bacteria within me. which is true actually. there's actually more bacterial cells in our body compared to normal cells eh.. cool eh. they're called normal flora.. residing within almost every part of our body.. it's actually useful leh. ok, am i like turning into a microbes geek now? XD
anyways,this is wat we've been doing all semester. stg along this line. that's a XLD agar plate used to plate out the colonies of bacteria. used to identify the bacteria lah. (i stole these two pics off the net actually, BUT ours is exactly like that) Salmonella spp. growing there dudes!

another medium plate called MacConkey agar plate.. selective for enteric bacteria and differential for lactose and non-lactose fermenting bacteria (omgosh.. are u turning into a nerd? i just did a presentation for this today so i just had to.. bore everyone with this XD)
tada@!!!~ each of us had to identify two types of microorganism.. and these were the biochemical tests that i carried out to identify mine. (= COOL? i think it's cool... very interesting.. bahaha.
SOOOO.. microbes for my third year electives?? HRMM.. im not too sure about that... hehe
one more huge assignment left to do before i can actually start concentrating on studying. -my protein website. =.=" save me!
oh, my aunt and uncle's coming over to melb today.. hrmm..
ok, time to get serious baby. cant wait for after exams! jani~
