Reading through cell culture notes for common tests. I realize that i doubt i will go into cell culture, for FYP or in the future. Its scary. Serum, killing the animals just to grow cells... I dunno, i just can't stand the thought i guess.
Killing the animals to understand their body makeup and to test drugs and medications to see how it can help the animals of the same species is acceptable to me. But killing millions of young cows etc. just to collect serum, just to grow cells, it just shoots something through me i guess. Cloning, its scary. Normally people would just go cloning is scary cause theres another you running around. Or that theres ethical and legal issues. But behind the scenes, to create that clone and to develop the technology for cloning, how many animals normal lives have been sacrificed?
I must admit though that cell culture plays its own part in science. Its has given many helpful discoveries to help better our lives in one way or another. But still the line between right and wrong is so thin, maybe even indistinguishable? I guess in science, maybe theres no right and wrong? All the scientists debating all over the world, trying to set the line between right and wrong, but ultimately its up to individual perception. There are so many questions to answer...
During this week's practical, My whole group refused to touch the egg. I too was disgusted. It was an unborn chick! And its just going to die like this. The scientists all over the world authoried this. But yet, what if that chick was an unborn human baby? Would they stil authorise it? I doubt so. I think my passion for animals come from this i guess. Its so unfair to the animals most of the time. We humans are very obviously the dominating animal in the world today. We control everything and state everything on being humane. We justify our humanity by giving human rights. But what about the animals? On the newspapers, there are articles on violation of human rights almost everyday. But yet, millions of animals all over the world are experiencing worst. Where are the articles on animal rights? They are after all living beings like us.
We are humans, we are the alpha species for now. But that doesn't give us the right to do as we please to other less powerful species. Rather we have the responsibility to protect them. Each of us are interlinked after all. One species' downfall will affect all the rest in one way or another.
Karma anyone?
"Even after you have moved on to another life, you will say to yourself that one day, i wanna go and do that again, even though you know it is unlikely. And its because of the passion."
Lim Seok Ee
Wah these words really hit home. Its not the exact quote since she said it two weeks ago, but the way she phrased it really described what i feel. Its like you went through it, and now due to circumstances, you wish to go back but you can't.
Guess it goes to show how fragile the human mind is. And how well it remembers the things that bring it so much joy. Even though your brain knows that you are unable to go back to that life, it creates for itself false hope. Its like trying to convince itself that it WILL go back, someday.
Maybe such things are just meant to be like that, a happy delusional memory?

hmm... was i acting out of place today? =/

Susuan Boyle made it to the finals for Britain's got Talent! I think she really deserves it. Her voice is simply, OMG!!! @@ damn nice la.
Always rushing CCTA after training. Sian.
But i guess its not as bad as someone else i know. You know who you are, Jiayou k?!

Today arrived late in school for only the SECOND time this sem. congratulate me man, i feel i deserve it! Went to emart to get the daily vitasoy. LOL lsct's hottest drink. While sitting at an empty emart waiting for them to have break during lecture, as well as drinking my vitasoy, i really felt a sense of Home. Primary school, secondary school, theres sure to be a Home word in their school motto or creed, but yet, i never really had that Home feeling. Guess i feel it now, finally. Actually i think i posted about this home feeling plenty of times already. But such a great feeling deserves more then one post i guess! =X
If this keeps up, i probably won't wanna graduate =/
Left is me while the right guy is from another group.
Heh guess what i'm wearing! HAHA Social psychology totally rocks la!
Anyway my attire for the day was from head to toe : Underwear, Inverted shirt, Inverted FBT( Looks like underwear also right! ), and different color socks while wearing sandals. The pic didnt show me having socks cause i took off already, was damn hot wearing them. LOL
Went to a toilet to change into those weirdo attire. wah when i walked out i felt super PAISEH!!! HAHA but after awhile, i started to get used to it. and as time progressed my stunts grew wilder and wilder. from just walking down orchard road and sitting in the middle of the street i progressed to following people, mimicking them etcetc.
Hmm, of all the acts i did i think these add up to be the best :
1) A foreign couple was just walking along the street. I purposely walked in between them and while doing so scratched my armpit. Wah the guy was laughing like crazy after i did that! LOL could hear him laughing behind me as he walked.
2) A local guy walking along talking on his handphone. I marched up to him army style and saluted him with my hands in my sandals. So, i was barefooted and my sandals were donned on my hands. LOL he shocked awhile then he wave and faster walk off.
3) Took out my phone and walked like a kopitiam uncle. I talk ( shouted ) into the phone in a super gay voice. Talking to myself. HAHA this was the most attention seeking one. EVERYONE looked la!!! HAHAHA
3) BEST ONE! but not the most wild la. HAHA i walk towards a foreign lady then just as i was beside her i suddenly WOAH and raise my hands. HAHAHA she got shocked and screamed lor! Tried repeating this a few times but no one gave such a good reaction anymore =/ SIAN
I think we did the most wild thing among all the other groups. wah was really super fun. Initially wanted to wear my mum's blouse or something. But thought that she probably wouldn't have a big enough one, so scraped the idea. OMG imagine me wearing some sort of lacy blouse with an underwear on my head!! @@
Really hoping for a chance to do this again sia. This kinda oppotunity doesn't come along very often! HAHAHA gonna advertise social psychology to all my freshies! =D
The GL ladiesI think that iceskating is DAMN fun!
OMG, now i got 2 things that i wana do better at, iceskating and bowling. Went for a supposedly "mass" outing just now, but in the end only had less then 20 people showing up. Too last minute already. Made a bet with renwei on the bus that i could iceskate in 30minutes. Bullshit that i didn't expect to come true, but it did! Super shocked with myself. HAHA. Almost went for bowling also. But due to $$ issues and alley being full, we skipped and went to play LAN.
I think i really spent alot for this week. Frequent hanging out at e-mart, just makes you feel like going in and buy stuff. Then the little $1 and $2 slowly adds up you know? Need to start controlling the temptations from next week on already, if not i'll end up as broke as i am this week >.<
Schools getting more and more fun. Next friday we're ging to give the mice antibodies injection! wah excited. Lab on every single day except thursdays. But yet, thursdays is cause of IS. And IS is social psychology! wah next thursday is going to be an exciting event also! We're going down to orchard to "conduct" tests. And i'm going to make use of the opportunity to go wild!
Recruitment this year was great also! There was so many people! And so many learn before also! Certainly exceeded the previous batches. Was nervous at first on the 1st day of CCA fiesta cause for the whole morning only 2 people signed up! OMG! But it gradually filled up. And i went PHEW.
I remember my batch there was so little people who actually turn up la. And even lesser who actually stayed, 4 to be exact. LOL. Hopefully this year it'll be different. Still too early to tell. Heh hopefully any future big events for the team will be met with as much success as well..;D
The GL gentlemen( guess whos me )
