Annual Camp

2008-05-31T09:03:00.000-07:00

Yay, AC is finally over. You know, when you're Sec1 or 2, you hate SUTC and GTC but you love AC to bits cos it's such a slack camp. Then when you're Sec 3 you love SUTC and GTC somewhat but AC is da bomb. Seriously, I was lots more tired after AC than SUTC. Moving poles takes a lot outta you.

Of course, I suppose Kestrel did well...? Who am I kidding! We got 5th. Yay. Sadly, the only thing we got first placing in was a meal where we cooked brunch. French toast, scrambled eggs, stir-fry carrots, assorted meat AND the totally imba piece of shit that was coffee cake :DDDD MY coffee cake :DDDD But of course I had some help with that. Dun wanna lub all the credit. Also, 3 other patrols had goo for their cake, albeit being nice-tasting goo.

Cooking was probably the main thing I was supervising this camp. Our meals turned out okay... The randomly hantam-ed exotic menu turned out quite nice, like the African spinach and peanut butter stew recipe. Scared quite a bit of people with that at first :D

Pioneering was also quite bomb. Yen Ter's idea was quite nice for the structure, but failed a bit in practicality. At least it was still big and nice after removing some extra parts like the 2 poles on top. And it was in its full glory during Festival of Lights, somehow tying into a bunch of emo shit.

Oh right, Skill-O-Rama. Since this was my last AC, I decided to go all out and challenged a damn lot of items, like kicking a soccer ball through scorpion and other guailan things. Bye AC. I'm gonna miss you T.T

Ah yes, Stupid Quiz. Essential to every AC. How do you tell the gender of a chromosome?

Pull down its genes (jeans).

Investigators

The most fun game ever to be played on a handphone would be Investigators.

I came across it on my friend's handphone, and it's those kind of detective games where you get a case and then you click around and look for clues. However, the most weird, retarded, funny, whatever, guailan, WTF, Imsure, OMGLOL, dots..., knots..., erkae, ......, *insert random word here*, WTH features in the game are like, you click on something and use "Pick Up".

EG.

You see a dead body.

*Pick Up*

What for?

EG2.

You see Mike.

*Pick Up*

Even though he may be small built, I don't think he would appreciate it if I lifted him from his seat. (WTH??!!)

EG3.

You see a dustbin.

*Open*

It's already open.

......

It's like a puzzle game where you click around to find something or do something which will continue the game. And the best part is that to continue to the next chapter, you have to download it. Not free. Got money, no deal.

The best things in life are never free. Like root beer. The best drink of them all. This line is dedicated to companies like A&W who produce root beer for our enjoyment. The sacred drink, a mixture of carbonated water, sugar, caramel colour, flavourings, preservative (sodium benzoate), citric acid and as well as permitted food additives of non-animal origin. This is dedicated to those who produce them in cans so as to allow us to savour the taste while sitting in front of the computer typing blog entries, the only way I could have even listed out its ingredients in the first place.

To root beer.

And beyond.

Hooray for Kestrel Orienteering :D ... :(

2008-05-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

Okay, so we screwed up Orienteering. Never mind, plenty of other chances to bring up our scores, like ANNUAL CAMP. Yay! All we need is to figure out meals. 5 meals. That's a lot considering our relatively little first-hand experience diving into woks and pots of scalding, burning oil as well as boiling dihydrogen monoxide, an extremely interesting chemical found near volcanos and areas where tsunamis have struck. Also harmful to the body in overdose, but infact a lot of people still take it, for it is a natural performance booster. It's not banned by competition organisers though.

Of course, I'm thinking of cooking something like French toast up. Relatively simple and easy to make. Little effort :) Lunch and dinner would obviously be more complicated though... gotta start thinking.

And there's the structure. Yenter's design is rather nice, just have to figure out how to build it. The aesthetics parts of the structure + banners shouldn't be much of a hassle, seeing as we have 2 AEP dudes here.

Oh, and the 2007 yearbook looks quite nice. I see they spruced up the teacher arrangements a bit. Definitely better than 2006's boringer layout. And then I turn to the 2Q class photo and I see that certain someone who totally brings this yearbook to a whole new level of awesomeness... :)

Daron dissolves in ethanol~ An insult you won't get if you don't take Bio ;)

Biology Biology Biology

1. Mutagens can be classified into Chemical mutagens and Physical mutagens. Isn't it ironic that there aren't any Biological mutagens when we're studying Bio and not Chem or Physics?

How mutagens cause mutations:
-The scammers called base analogs from some chemical mutagens. Like Maths, they both scam. That's why they have "log" functions in their names.
-Chemical mutagens like ethidium bromide insert themselves into DNA, distorting the double helix.
-Some change base pairing properties.
-Physical mutagens like X-rays and radiation PEWPEWPEWPEW can form thymine dimers.

2. We're also learning about uncontrolled cell division/cancer. Incidentally my star sign is Cancer. I'm allergic to crabs. Put two and two together. You get four!

Mr. Zheng, "No, actually you get 5 because JC is going to debunk everything you know about Chemistry except stoichiometry and the mole concept."

Ok...

What's the difference between proto-oncogenes and oncogenes?

One has a "-". Ok, just being random.

So either hyperactive or too many growth stimulating proteins, and then tumor suppressor genes get euthanised.

3. DNA Fingerprinting
-Non-coding sequences are used for DNA fingerprinting as they do not give any info about the person's biological state and health.

STRs vs VNTRs - compare length of each repeat, number of repeats, and how they can be analysed.

Obviously VNTRs are longer and bigger in every aspect, but their analysation speed is slower.

Compare Fat guy and Thin guy (or Shaotong v KaiTsi)
KaiTsi=STR
Shao=VNTR

KaiTsi is smaller but can run faster. Shao is bigger but runs slower. Get the pic? (All insults are apologised for and totally intentional)(jkjk)

4.PCR
Mastermix
Taq (Tak) Polymerase. To withstand heat of thermal cycle. Obtained from onsen bacteria. For extension of primers from a 5' to 3' direction.
Primers. Short sequences of complementary DNA nucleotides which anneal to the desired portion of the STRs.
Free nucleotides. A whole ton of them floating around the Mastermix, used to extend.
MgCl2 - or co-factor. Allows for Taq to perform optimally.
Buffer solution - For the muscles. Actually, no. It's for pH of DNA to be neutralised.

Denaturation - 94 C for 30 sec
Annealing - 52 C for 30 sec
Extension - 72 C for 1 min (extended period of time lololol)

OK whatever. Revision on comp ends here. Time to mug un-cyber style.

Social Advocacy for Dead People

2008-05-03T05:44:00.000-07:00

Good evening, infidels. I mean, all readers of this blog. Today, I an here to expound on an extremely disgusting behavioural instinct of humans. This behaviour, is one of such revolt, such horror, unthinkable even. It is the utter discrimination against dead people.

Ahah! I already hear some of you out there sniggering, laughing, or even expressing your disgust at me. This mentality is exactly what I am referring to. Now, all sorts of discrimination are already going on in this putrid environment we call society. Racial discrimination, gender discrimination, whatever discrimination. You name it, you got it. However, there is none more horrid than that, that of the discrimination against dead people. Dead people have no rights. Look at the above examples of discrimination I gave above: although they are all disgusting, the people discriminated against still have rights to a certain extent. Dead people have NONE. Are they not human? Are they not citizens of the country in which they live in? Therein lies the failing of the current social systems as we know them. They give no respect to the dead.

This is why the dead people should have their rights: their social rights, their economical rights, their political rights. Firstly, their social rights. Examples like rights to proper housing can be brought up here. These dead citizens are either cramped rather unceremoniously into rooms filled with jars, or they are trapped beneath the surface, never to see the light. This, as the government says, is to save land space and money. After all, Singapore has such limited land space that it is alright for dead people to have sub-par living standards right? WRONG. The dead are human, are they not? As such, they should have the same rights which every other perfectly normal human being in Singapore has to proper housing. The Housing Development Board has created miracles in the past. Let them do the same again, to help the dead who cannot voice their woes.

Secondly, there is also their economical rights. Like every normal citizen of Singapore, the dead should also have the rights to a job. I hear people laughing again! This is exactly the mentality which should be abolished! Companies who practice meritocracy should allow dead people to get a decent job in their companies, not just dismiss them without saying a word like I see in not a majority, but ALL of the companies here. This behaviour is simply outrageous! If fellow citizens can get a proper job, why can't the dead do so as well?

Finally, there are their political rights. Dead people, as decreed by the government, are unable to vote during elections. Now although it may not matter to some whether Mr. Brown is going to become the next President or not, but the fact is dead people do not even have the ability to select who should become their new leader. They are at a serious handicap in the political scene in Singapore. They cannot even send political parties and even representitives for Parliament. As a result, they will forever live in the shadows of the political scene which already treats them like dirt and utter trash. Are they not citizens of the country in which they dwell? In fact, I can also state with conviction that the dead make up the majority of people in our nation. With the majority unable to attain their rights, that is a revolting truth in its own.

The dead people are oppressed. They cannot voice their helplessness, their urge to change the world as we know it. And that is why I am here. I speak for them, tell the world of their agony. I have a dream, that one day dead people shall be free of the indifference the rest of the world treats them with.

I have a dream, that one day dead people shall finally get what they truly deserve.

I have a dream, that one day people shall learn to respect the dead as some of us do now.

I have a dream, that one day I shall eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I have a dream.

-Idea koped from Bryan Cheong. Yup, it's not original. Well, the idea isn't at least. Just thought it'll be fun to write something like that out. :P

PS: If you think this post was meant to be serious... I have nothing to say.
