morning lights;

IMU

Day Two.
Just as awesome. :)

Dentistry first thing in the morning didn't really agree with me though. Don't like dentists, and don't like dentistry. Sorry to all the future dentists out there. =)

We were brought the Pathology Lab where the temporary Dentistry Lab was set up as well.

Models of teeth made out of clay.

So we were asked to make our own models of teeth with plasticine. Haha. Not so pretty.

Wait a minute, what's that heart doing there?
Wai Sin's quote : We should love our teeth!
Haha.

Suk Khuan's is the only red. o.o

Low and Yeu Chin with their teeth. Wai Sin's heart too.

There was this model in the Pathology Lab. Not to sure what it was again, but I think it's an uterus. Anyway, it was cancerous and you see the white stuff on the left side of the organ? They're teeth. Human teeth.
Why?????
Because apparently the human body is made up of three main types of cells. One of them creates human teeth. And since the organ was cancerous, the cells were malfunctioning and multiplying uncontrollably. Thus. The human teeth. In the uterus.
And see the black stuff at the bottom?
That's human hair.
Another of the main cells are the ones that create hair.
COOL! Haha.

After all that, we were given our own models of teeth. Aren't they cutteeee?

Low, me, Hamizah, Aly.

Seriously not a fan of dentistry.
But oh well. =D

Breakfast! Omg, is IMU trying to make us all fat or whaat??
But seriously, the food was awesome. Especially the sardine puff.

Biotechnology and biomedical slot after that.
Checked out the Forensics Lab! CSI! Way past cool.

Some device for DNA staining. There's actually a piece of gel in that solution that contains DNA. Then, orange dye will stain the DNA and when we put the gel under UV light, we can see the orange-coloured patterns of the DNA radiating. And then, we put it in a machine and the patterns came out on the computer and we started matching the patterns with the so-called "suspects".

Sorry I don't have pictures. Had to be careful. Lab assistant said that the stuff in that room was carcinogenic or in other words, cancerous for those of you don't know what it means. Had to keep hands very much to ourselves. Haha. But forensic science is so cool!

Multi-disciplinary laboratory after that. Learnt bout foodborne diseases. Foodborne diseases are caused by bacteria and can be easily spread through the food and water we consume. Also originates from stool. Especially the ones from livestock.

Cultured bacteria. Don't remember the name of this one. But it looks gross alright.

Next type of bacteria.

It's pink! Haha. Had to wash our hands with surgical soap after that.

Next was a talk on study skills and time management. The lecturer was funny and the stuff he lectured was actually good. Though I doubt I'm ever gonna implement it cause I am way too lazy. Hon Weng! The lecturer looks like you when he smiles! HAHAHA. AsK Hamizah. Sorry no picture though.

Lunch time! Burger with garlic bread. IMU SO WANTED TO MAKE US FAT.

The happy people before psychology session.

We were asked to draw what we think a psychologist looks at work.
Not bad eh my drawing??

Then we did this career test to see our interests. My top three were investigative, social, and artistic. Suggested careers? Medical biologist, practical nurse, psychologist, counseling psychologist. O.o HAHAH. But nah. Still like my cardiology.

Tea time one and a half hours later. IMU WANTS FAT STUDENTS.

Aly handing out riddles to the Gamma-ians. Hehehe.

Then we jakun-ed in the toilet!

Talk on IMU after that. Liked Mr Peter Pook, the lecturer. He was funny and he explained everything IMU had to offer really well.

50 bucks was really worth the two days workshop. Especially the food! Heeee. After being exposed to all the types of careers, I have a new list of choices.

1. Cardiologist. :)
2. Pathologist.
3. Pharmaceutical chemist.
4. Psychologist.

SO.
Anyone having second thoughts bout taking medicine now? X)
