egg

BEHOLD.....the chicken egg..

Have you ever wondered about chicken eggs? That hard boiled egg that you eat in the morning, or the bulls eye egg which comes with your nasi lemak??

mmmmmmm..nasi lemakk..

What IS the chicken egg?that is the question that has bothered me for quite some time, and wednesday's Molecular cell bio lesson on Animal Form made me more curious than ever.

We basically learnt that the egg contains an embryo, a developing chick..

this would have been usefull in BIO119 prac...

YUX!

BUt......Why when we open the egg inside no embryo LEH!??

No disgusting looking half-developed corpse of an unborn chicken....

ewwwwwwwwwww

all you see is the egg white and the egg yolk.....

So, me and my*ahem* super intelligent lab partner VIVIAN TAN...

made a few hypothesis...

My Hypothesis:

Hen's lay eggs regardless of being fertilized(fucked) by the Cock or not,That is to say that the hen does not need to have sperm fertilize its ovum to produce an egg, just that the egg comes out naturally as part of the hen's life cycle.However, sperm plus ovum do produce fertillized eggs which would eventually hatch into chicks, and the eggs which are not fertillized are the ones we eat..so basically, there are TWO kinds of eggs produced by chickens.

it doesnt work like this...but wht the hell, a funny pic nonetheless

Her Hypothesis:

To get the egg, the Cock must mate with the hen, sperm+ovum=fertillized egg.

The hen lays the eggs and the farmer collects them. There is no developing embryo within the egg we eat coz the farmers already terminate the embryo developing process using "chemicals" HAHA!!! =.=' AISEHmen..scientific betul dia ni! hahahaha!!!!

in short, vivian suggested only one kind of egg, a fertile one resulting from sperm and ovum whose embryo stage would artificially terminated, in order for consumers to eat..

and i suggested two kinds of eggs, one fertile, and one non fertile( inside no embryo, boleh dimakan kasi goreng atau rebus)

to explain diagramatically, the chickens must carry out the following steps before producing eggs:

WARNING.BULLSHIT SECTION(has no scientific basis whtsoever)

1.

first, the excited couple reads this important piece of literature...for family planning purposes. HAHA! No apologies, no regrets.Remember, Abstinence is the best!, Boys and Girls..no no to pre-maritial sex. hahaha!!
2.

After both parties give their consensus, and maturely weigh the risks involved in sexual reproduction(condom bocor,menstrual cycle timing not cun or shooting too damn fast..excited maaaaa) they can proceed*marvin gaye's lets get it on starts playing*

3.

u know i know lah wht happens next.. getting it on..

this is a hypothesis which she added bcoz she disagreed with mine..

question:

IF the hen can lay eggs without being fucked, then how come some eggs can develop into chicks leh?!? I thought egg and sperm have to fuse with each other to produce chicks?

suggested hypothesis:

after the egg come out frm the hen, the Cockerel masturbates and spray its sperm on the eggs. Those tht kena spray will hatch as chicks LOR! EAsy as ABC!Those tht tak kena, we eat for breakfast lah!!!

I aspire to be an established medical researcher one day, and Vivian wants to be a crime scene investigator..evidently we still have a long way to go...

*BULLSHIT SECTION ENDS*

thanks to vivian, i got hold of the answer in google answers and it says:

"Hens begin laying at 18 – 20 weeks of age and a healthy chicken will lay about one egg a day. A hen does not need a rooster to lay eggs and eggs are produced in response to day light patterns. The eggs we buy in the store are not fertilized (this is my hypothesis!!!). The size of the egg is dependant on the age of the hen. Older birds lay larger eggs."

www.ofac.org/factsheets/fact11.html - visit this to read the full article

the conclusion:

the eggs we eat, contain no embryo, just the egg white and yolk, which provide nutrients for the embryo SHOULD it be fertilized.

looks like im the clear winner...well, what can i say?HAHA!!!..ure lucky didn bet wif me vivian, if not sure u pokai dy by now hahaha!

so dear readers, i hope u learnt something new by reading this..if not, then nevermind lah..for those who are concerned that eating eggs is like eating embryo's or unborn babies, u can sleep peacefully now haha!

Ps:

Im so gonna get it on monday but who cares..this post revenge for the one u wrote abt the blood test thingy..jangan marah ya~~ hahahahaha!!!!

getting lazier..

the title says it all. getting lazier to update..getting lazier to finish lab reports..getting lazier to do homework/revise/additional reading etc..

so, being the lazy me, ill condense the events of one week in a single post.( not in chronological order)

firstly, car on fire..kacau me doing my BIO119 assignmnt. I looked out my hostel window to see every one sakai-ing(pls excuse the engrish) at something..so naturally i went and sakai-ed with them. Being a proud malaysian, i took photos as well..

burn baby burn!

bomba came and put the fire out..lucky no one got hurt( i think!!!)

and then...beer and food with the guys..i had double helping of eastern chicken chop whateverucallit..

it was fun..should do it more often..talking is a bit easier when its all guys and with the presence of 'special water' haha!

It was a cleansing ritual before BIO119 test..

I booked my place in heaven by donating blood..ERk! haha just joking man! Went to donate for the very first time..i didn know all the procedures tht went wif blood donation..

1. filling out a bloody long form( adakah anda pernah melanggani pelacur?hahaha!)

2. blood test, weight measurement

3. blood pressure reading, confirm facts with the doc..
4. recieve ur little red book..which says SIJIL

i proped myself on the reclining chair and waited for the nurse..she took out this small syringe.i thought to myself..oh, thts so tiny, this isnt gonna hurt....untill she sed" ini untuk kasi dia bius"

WTF! *by now i was ready to leave*She took out the real needle and it was big...for those tht play football, the needle is slightly thicker than the ball pump needle..bigger in diameter....they took out 450ml and paid me with biscuits and hot milo..i got a cert too!

"...yg telah bermurah hati mendermakan darahnya sebanyak 1 kali" haha!

and finally, ysterday. My first full sparring session in kickboxing.

was so dead nervous...my training buddies helped me put on my armour pad and boxing gloves..most importantly, the dick guard a.k.a "cup" to protect ur kuku jiao.(i put this on myself btw)

Messed up my leg pretty badly when i landed my round kick on my opponent's knee..the smart bugger raised his knee to protect his abdomen( shin at full swing+knee=not good)..i got hit with a few solid punches to the face, which burst my ulcer, cracked my lower lip and left me dazed haha!!

Didnt fight well, punches were off, my right leg was useless due to the mishap and i kept on lowering my hands which invited more solid punches to my face..i did manage to hurt him a bit,with a few kicks to the ribs and stomach plus a straight jab to his face, a few hooks here n there...but it was not enough....would have lost on a point-point basis.baptism of fire in it's finest sense :D.Cant wait for the next spar session!!!!

so thts all for now, needa plan wht to do for tomorrow( de-stress day)~signing out.

kickboxing

Went for kickboxing yesterday..its official, im hooked to the sport. Being overweight and not flexible, most people would probably laugh at the idea of me seriously trying it out..but ive fallen in love with it. My rope skipping skills are getting better although i still look like a circus bear trying to show off his skills when i do it..managed to pull of 50 in a row hahaha! Which is nothing compared to Ah Lim( our instructer a.k.a master a.k.a 'sir') who does like a few hundreds in a matter of minutes..cant really see the rope even. We then warmed up our legs by kicking d arm pads for a few mins..quite pleased with my right leg which managed to make a loud sounding 'bang' on impact..but my left leg is pathetic..for all my efforts, i managed a weak 'puff' upon hitting the arm pads haha!

And so..of the kickboxing session, we learned a few cool things..cross-jab and hook combo, followed by low kicks and high kick as well as a chokehold/throw move...dunno whts the name. And then we did something which i dreaded..Evasive rolling. Wtf! I think i looked like Humpty Dumpty when i tried..but the master said it was pretty good hahaha!

We then did evasive jumping...to release ourselves from an opponent, we were told to jump away with arms spread out landing flat on our backs........i seriously dont know whats the use, but we did it anyways..and now my back is pretty messed up.

The highlight of the day! my first sparring session( wasnt expecting this at all!)..Ah lim suddenly took out a few pairs of gloves and told us tht we were not to kick or punch each other(wtf right...-at this point the excitement faded)However, we were supposed to use grappling techniques learnt earlier to take our opponent down, each time our opponent hits the floor, we counted it as 1 point in our favour.ALRIGHT!!!!!

I was paired with a kickboxing senior, taller than myself, quite well built but not as heavy as me. My buddies help me put on my gloves at the same time giving advise( The Contender la rasa hahahaha!!!) I muttered a short prayer before stepping in the fight area( first fight wht!!! takut maa) All eyes were on the two of us..i swear i heard someone shout SUMO!..ure lucky i didnt see who it was -.-"

The master stepped in between and waved his hand..fight!We touched gloves and It was on biatch..honestly my mind was blank..most of the stuff i did was instinctive..grapple, throw, grab grab, trip, slam..i was so dead tired after a few mins i actually sat down during the fight hahahaha!!!!( to the laughter of my friends and instructer) My opponent shouted " Come on..No stamina ah!?"ANGER!(no la..i actually laughed when he sed tht)..so i decided to try something new..i got up, moved around to try to find the right angle..and i saw the chance. I rushed at his thighs to deliver a rugby tackle(to his surprise)..something which i had not done in quite sometime, but it was perfect nonetheless. It floored him and i managed to keep my balance..the feeling was of ecstacy, the perfect marriage of 2 sports..i circled around the fallen senior like a prize fighter to the chants of "rhino! rhino!rhino!"..the final score was 8-1 in my favour and i was happy :D

So i went back feeling really satisfied.Despite my body being bruised, my butt taking more punishment than sparco shock absorbers,biceps and pectorial muscles hurting like mad..Im still looking forward to the next session.





fear him

Yodsanklai, current WBC Muay Thai world champion..wouldnt call him an idol but definately a source of awe and inspiration. Check him out on wiki and you'll know what i mean.

thts it for now peeps..back to studying. Signing out~

CNY

The holidays for me is unofficially over..it's the first day of CNY and im back here in college. It kinda looks like a scene from the movie 28 days later..it's so deserted. The flickering toilet lights didnt help either..feels like a bloodthirsty-rabid-insane zombie was gonna jump me when i was pissing. Of course there are a few african, indon and indian/pakistani/bangladeshi students hanging around..but not much..

I spent most of the time during the hols reading On War by Carl Von Clausewitz..it just gave me a headache trying to make sense of things which are way out of my league..for example this sentence....

" if war ended in a single solution or a number of simultaneous ones, then naturally all the preparations for the same would have a tendency to the extreme, for an omission could not in any way be repaired; the utmost, then, that the world of reality could furnish as a guide for us would be the preperations of the enemy,as far as they are known to us; all the rest would fall into the domain of the abstract."

wtf man.....domains? Extreme? Abstract??? Sounds like he's talking about functions...f(x) and shit like that. There's some more actually but my fingers would ache if i were to type it all out.

I got my chem test 1 results back and it sux big time..gagal dengan cemerlangnya..kinda reminds me of my addmath days in form4-5. Theres no point in crying about it though..nasi sudah menjadi bubur.
I did some rough calculations and figured i could still salvage the final mark..I'd have to fight for a B but ill find a way.I always do hahaha!!( Mum's voice rings in my head...raised voice btw " BY HOOK OR BY CROOK YOU MUST DO WELL..I DONT CARE!!!!!")*shivers*

So anyhow, i have my lab reports and assignments to finish..I also have to study for 3 tests which are gonna slap us in the face the moment class resumes..the most pressing of which is MACIBAI122 ..i mean MCB122(mollecular and cell bio) For my Master plan to succeed, the other 4 subs must be perfect..given tht chem is a lost cause..

so yea, thts it for now peeps..To all my chinese buddies, Happy New Year..have the time of ur lives while you still can..then return with a happy heart to the hell-pit known as INTI, where ill be waiting..haha!

saman

i think i've reached the very limit of boredom..because i found this..



this is the result slip you get after the mandatory JPJ driving test..my ticket to a driving license and freedom. So anyways, i found it near my laptop..and as i was reading through the results, i realized something..



Sorry for the really crappy picture quality, w850i's werent meant to be hardcore cameraphones.

hahahaha! born to be an enforcement officer..jeez im so lifeless right now.

PS: the holidays are killing me

dinner

ok, today i attempted to cook my own dinner for the 4th time ever. My previous cooking attempts gave me food poisoning(maggie goreng, attempt #3) and utterly miserable meals..and so i braced myself for the worst. My brothers went out to have canadian pizza..for some reason i didnt want to go, and hence was left to fend for myself in our apartment. I opened the fridge and found the following:

1. Chicken fillet
2. Eggs
3. Cheese filled sausages
4. Strawberry milk..
5. some butter..



That old christian acronym crept to my mind..WWJD. What would JESUS do..well,i wouldnt know what he would have done, but JOSHUA would have done something that would not make a big mess and could be cooked fast.
So i decided to pan fry the fillets using butter and salt as my miserable marinade..boiled the sausages and scrambled the eggs.


ANGER!an over dramatization of me trying to open the sausage packet....


the smell was heavenly..though the taste was mediocre :C

Had to battle with the frying pan because hot butter was spitting all over the place and some actually landed on my foot..ouch. Just like how the hot oil jumped and hit Avery WEE CHEE SIN last year( or was it 2006) when we were trying to cook french fries..and I imediately carried out efficient first aid on him as he was screaming his ass off.Apparently,we didnt understand the concept of de-frosting..


I know it looks like breakfast..but thats the only thing i know how to do..LAUGH LA

Voila! Turned out to be quite ok. The fillets were a bit tasteless despite having a mouth watering aroma but at least it was all cooked :s . Not very satisfying but i was proud of myself..so far no stomach discomfort so that seems ok.
I seriously have to learn more advance stuff.I really want to make things that involve making our own sauces like sweet and sour fish, lemon chicken and stuff like that..anyone willing to teach? haha! Gotta get a girl who's a pro in the kitchen AHAKS!

PS: Camwhoring whilst cooking was not easy..

true love way

It's the first day of the chinese new year break. While most of my chinese friends are having/going to have the time of their lives with family and friends, I on the other hand will rot here in the hell pit known as USJ 11, Subang Jaya(home of the rats which are as big as cats and bastard-drivers who dont know how to use turn signals).So, being a procrastinater, i refuse to do the pile of work i inherited from last week and last last week, opting to do it just before class starts..hahaha!
So, back to the title of my latest post, true love way. Its a title of a song by Kings of Leon, one of my favourite bands. Why suddenly blog about a song u ask? Well, ive been listening to it more than 5 times in row and my iTunes says that it has been played a total of 84 times..so i decided to really study the lyrics, maybe to shed some light on why i like it so much..and wow, it gets kinda deep and emo at the same time.

It starts with this verse..

I want in, like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a poor one and it hurts me so
And it's a dark path and a heck of a cold
And she can feel me like she did before

my interpretation of this verse is that of unrequited love..its sort of like that you care/love for someone and show it and yet its not returned...hahaha! pain pain and more pain for the heart~the poor bugger..i know how he feels

and the chorus goes

Oh we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

the singer's wish i guess, of what could be if it really happens..to me, its a really meaningful way to put it in words..

the 2nd verse goes like this:

Push in and I pull it away
It a hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hands
we could both share all that I have made
For a young man its a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face

hahaha! the first part sounds kinda dirty..but thats open to interpretation and also how yellow ur mind is..but basically still expressing how much he loves the girl and what he is willing to do to get her..typical for a lovestruck male( normal XY male lah..)
the last chorus is an extension of the old one..

Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie

okay, i know its kinda hard to imagine without actually listening to the song first, but i really it..the vocals sounds so pained and emotional..and the beat isnt too complicated with relatively simple guitar and bass patterns..its not one of those emo MCR rock songs for those that do not know Kings of Leon. To me, its a really good expression of the feelings of a person whos in love but just cant get it..not that im feeling the exact same way, just that i appreciate what the singers trying to show.
Hrmmm..Maybe i can use my time to write some nice lyrics with a simple chord progression to follow..valentines day soon! theres no better excuse to write a song on guitar hahaha!
