Haha... so that's where i was headed this morning and left you all hanging on messanger... really... i did put up an away sign!

Hmmm... i reached outram earlier than expected and just walked around until bryan came and then we set off for SGH. ken, who came up with the bright idea of meeting at 0930 hrs was still on the mrt!!!

So after a long long wait, ken finally came. bryan's aunt brought us around and let us look at how they prepared slides of chromosome samples from prenatal women and cancer patients. It was very similar to the one we did with glowy bacteria! And there was this book full of pictures and stuff about people born with defective chromosomes

Come lunchtime ken went off to find his mom and bryan and i went to see how they split and organise the chromosomes on the computer. Turned out that ken was patiently waiting for us for 20 minutes!!!

Ken's mom treated me to lunch and there was noodles and iced tea. So nice! The adults talked about work and kids and the three of us talked about church camps. Ah, so many ideas flowing it was impossible to hear who was saying what. lol.

After lunch we had more energy and played and talked alot more. (violent games!) well, we went on so continue seeing how all the stuff was collected, the fixatives and stuff added to discolour the chromosomes.

It was so fun looking through the microscopes they have there because it's so many times more powerful than the one at home! Oh and we had to put oil on the slides too. We spent abit of time trying our hand at identifying the chromosomes, with the help of a chart of course.

By and by we started playing those word games like the around the world in 80 days. i had to do nearly 3 rounds before i found out the answer! oh! the pain! i was just so totally clueless due to some answers from ken. grr. 'and where are You going jac?'

So took the MRT home and listened to bryan trying to fish stuff from ken =)
