Eventful day!

We were assigned to "sacrifice" a mouse each per group.
I wanted to kill it actually. Surprisingly, Shufang offered to be the "blood-hands".

The mice were so cute! Till the part whereby they had their intestines and all the inerts spilling out. EEww~

Okies, so.. Hui hwang injected the mice with anaesthetics. I picked the one which looks the most unconscious. There were bout two boozy woozy ones... i guess Ben picked one of those. Bad choice.

Anyways, i shan't go into explicit details. Kinda sad and fun at the same time. heex.

Just a brief recollection of what we did in the CCTA lab this morning-
1. Picked a mouse.
2. Broke its neck whilst it's sleeping.
3. Cut up its skin.
4. Searched for its spleen.
5. Detached spleen.
6. Mashed it up in PBS solution
7. Proceeded as usual.
8. Spleen cells isolated. Fusion with myeloma cells.

Loooong practical.

I was doubly flabbergasted at Shufang's conduct today. That girl! She's starting to freak me out. Any idea what she did?!

She couldn't locate the spleen, sooo...

she used the forceps and began tossing and turning the inerts of the poor mouse. I can assure you, it was a mess! Im speechless. She gave me the creeps just now. =S


Ben's mouse was a sad case. Geraldine claimed that she saw him crying. Lol.
Apparently, i guess his mouse wasn't fully unconscious. When they broke its neck, it was so petrified it peed in its fur!
That wasnt the end of it. Assuming that its already dead, we were very much in shock when it started opening its mouth (can u believe it? it was trying to scream for help. lol!)

Alrite. Im not laughing anymore. It's really quite sad actually.


So much so for mice. I'm looking foward to the next lab lesson. Peter just did an imitation of Dr Kueh IN FRONT of Dr Kueh. That's so mean. You should've seen it.



Mom's still doubting my emotional status. It's gettin irritating. She sent me to school AND fetched me home today. That's the first.

What's up with her??? There's nothing wrong with me!
