Fluorescent Bacteria.. how cool!!
SIGH
Been sort of neglecting my FYP from the start.. cos zer chose to work rather than do her FYP.. >< But now she seriously hopes she can stop her work (in 3 weeks' time) so that she can have more time for her family, friends, S.O, her tuition kid, herself and of course, her FYP...
*screams for just a wee bit more time*
My own prepared agar plates with 2 successes at the top and 2 flops at the bottom..
I had 6 agar plates to play around with and only the last 2 turned out to be alright! I was quite clumsy and broke the agar surface while streaking bacteria on it.. But in the end, my mentor was quite proud of my streaking skill!!!
Things like the above keep me going.. I have grown MY OWN bacteria! The last time I cultured my own bacteria was during secondary school when we made our own thumb imprint on the agar plate and see how dirty/clean your thumb is! What interesting bio classes we had back then! This time, no more dirty thumbprints on my agar plates --> Bacteria with Fluorescent Genes! Tadah! haha I am still quite fascinated by what my mentor does and thrilled everytime I go to do my lab! (Probably cos its still the starting... as I've been to my lab for less than 4 times!!)
I am sure there are people out there who are already sick of going to labs!
Add colours to your life!!
