I opened up my mind!!

Open Your Mind Day @ Murdoch University!

I have no idea why the heck did I join such a activity when I'm only here for like 1 month plus only? I must be crazy! Oh wait. I think I joined because of the fantastic $10 lunch voucher! Ok I lied.. Its purely for fun. Hahaha!!

So morning, we reached at 8am to help to make the custard for the 'walking on custard' event. And then there's too much people helping out.. SO the original helpers, who are Carmen, Michael (a guy tt we just met) and me went to help other lecturers.. Zzzz.. And I didn't even get a chance to see how its does.. T.T.. But they use mainly corn starch as their ingredient so that's not surprising that you can actually walk on the "so-called custard"...

Then we went to help out to set up this giant whale.. I suppose I should start to learn or sign up for a course that teaches me how to tie a knot. But yea.. I shall add it to my "to do" list.. Haha.. But nonetheless, the whale was set up nicely!

The four of us (Carmen, me, Melinda and Michael) posing to take with the giant whale that we set up!! =))

After which we took our shirt and I got posted to Biological Science and Biotechnology School for no reason (I volunteered to be at the central.. Boo!! And separated from everyone!!) BUT.. ITS REALLY A BLESSING IN DISGUISE!! Hahaha!! Had lotsa of fun there teaching kids (yea, its really kids!! Age from maybe 4 to 10?), teenagers and some adult about pipetting, gel electrophoresis and DNA extraction! Its really fun and the satisfaction on their faces after they have done the gel electroporesis is really heart-warming to me. Furthermore, I made friends and found out that one of the demonstrator at the lab was the coordinator of my friend's MP when they came here!! So cool rite!! =))

Hahaha.. All in all, Open Your Mind Day at Murdoch is SUPER FUN! =))

Posing for the camera for Jia Ming while teaching. Her gel is beautiful.. =))

After the open your mind day, we went to Cynthia's house for dinner. Carmen cooked curry and Cynthia cook luncheon meat! The curry is very spicy!!! And I love it!! Hahaha!! And its pretty funny to see Carmen gulping down after glasses and glasses of water to extinguish the spicyness in her mouth. So funny la.. Hahaha! After which, we played the Big Two and the game Citadels.. Haha.. For the Big Two I seemed to have lost my winning streak man.. I keep overlooking , assumed or forget that I have a two in my hand.. Hahhaa.. Well.. I think I'm tired.. HAHAHA!! Then for the game citadel, I won the game by stealing gold and building cards from Darren and Carmen! Hahaha!! I'm so sorry Carmen, but you are too obvious and I have no choice but to steal it from u!! Hahaha!!

The yummy dinner!!

Today's a fun day too! Hahahaha!! =)))

Fun and tiring Saturday!

Ok. Yesterday was pure fun.. Although I didn't manage to study.. Aww well.. its the holiday...

Went to market city in the morning.. And WOAH! The vegetables, fruits and meat are CHEAP!!! Eggs are $1.88!!! Omg?? And I thought $2.50 was cheap.. Zzz.. But its smaller.. But yea.. Can't be helped right? Brought lotsa of fruits (banana, kiwi and strawberry) and vegetables (snow pea spout and kailan)!! So HAPPY!! Yea!!

The giant fish found in Market City..

Then after that we went back to hostel and then went to some place (which I had no idea where is it) to buy guitar. Both Carmen and Kobe got one.. Pretty cheap I think.. Cost them around $99 only.. Hahaha!! Then we went to explore the place and found ourselves in CAROUSEL SHOPPING CENTRE! There's mac, woolsworth, coles, k mart, and a lot of shops!! The gang got themselves ice cream while I sit there happily watching them enjoy their icecream!! Booo!!!!

*Queue for the ice creams*

Happy Carmen enjoying her caramel sundae...

Happy Colin posting with his ice cream cone..

Happy Kobe waiting to dig into the warm chocolate fudge sundae..

Me.. I was watching them since I am fasting.. Hahaha!! Now you know how it feel like when you are starving and have no money and looking at the fortunate people who have food.. So yea.. Objective accomplished! =))

Dun wanna write more.. Hahaha!! Picture speaks in a thousand words..

Colin using the self-check counter to pay money.. So cool right?

The first time taking their train.. Which explains this picture.. And Jia Ming's in the pic!! =)

Probably studying like one year and a half if I were to take single degree double major in biomed and molecular biology with statistic as a minor.. Hmm.. or should I stick to the double degree, triple major.. Hmm... And I'm sooo sorry, Hong Ming!! I may be doing my honours in Perth if I can even take Honours... T.T!!!

We had potluck at Mia/ Ashlee/ Joannie's place again.. Hahaha!! This time, the food is really really great!!! =))) Really enjoyed today!! Laugh like a mad woman sia... Hahahah!!! Today there's dong fen!!!! My favourite!!! I still miss my hotplate fufu!!!!

And after I got back, I learn how to play a guitar from Kenrick!! This is so cool la!! Learnt E, A and D major, a simple Sweden song (half way i think), and the deep purple from School of Rock.. Hahaha!! This is so cool can!!! And furthermore, he can play a lot a lot a lot a lot of songs!!! And the best thing is that he can play the song just by hearing it.. T.T.. I'm so jealous!!!

Shall blog about my last few days..

Sunday had potluck at Mia/ Joannie/ Michelle's house. Had a lot of good food like zucchini pasta, curry, prata, cheese potato, the special egg with meat tt look like lasagna, vegetables with a special white sauce and a lot more! Delicious! I made creme brulee for them.. Talk about application of skills. That was really immediate! =)) I shall also make creme brulee for my two sisters who's coming on Wednesday-Thursday! =)))

Mon: Had a Singapore style "Zhi Char" in Cythnia's flat. Had broccoli (Finaally VEGETABLES!!), omelette, potato soup, and the ALL TIME FAVOURITE TERRIYAKI PORK!!! Its been sooo long as I had pork!! =)) After which, we finished our Genetics group assignment. You hear that? We finished way before our deadline which is on 10th Sept!!! Double joy! And yea.. Cythnia turned the four of us into toast monsters!! Toast with butter and honey is LOVES! =)))

The "Zhi Char" that we had on Monday. =)

Tue: Nothing much.. Woke up at 4.30am to eat coz im fasting.. And stupid la.. I broke my fast because there's free food.. Zzz.. I'm gonna be stricter on myself from now.. NO FOOD = NO FOOD!!! Zzzz.. And I started to study Biostatistics.. Gonna get at least a DISTINCTION on it!!! And that night, cook a look-a-like sambal fried rice with my nearly depleted food for breakfast.. There's egg, crabsticks and rice only.. Haha... But I LOVE IT.. Attempted to add honey so that its sweet, but there's someone in the kitchen so I didn't dare to put.. Maybe next time.. Honey fried rice with crabsticks and eggs.. =)))

Taken at around 5.15am when I'm just about to eat (sambal fried rice and a piping hot honey drink)... ^^

Zzz.. Ok, Shu Hui go back to sleep!! =))

The horror about Wednesday, today, 26th August.. THERE'S NO JUDO!!!! *GASPS*

T.T but panda cute wat!!! Hahahaha..

I think I will still continue Judo but not so committed compared to last time in Karate depending on my studies and all.. Hahaha!!

On Thursday, we only had genetics tutorial.. I found out the questions that I have done (on Sunday when I was still sick) was ALL WRONG.. Zzzz.. Genetics revision now!!!! But nvm, I'm cool with it..

Then I brought eggs and grapefruit ($1.20 for 6!!) in school at the "festival thingy" at Bush Court.. It's always on every Thursday and you could buy a lot of things, from printers (from $39), the printer inks (HP No. 60 XL black and colour for just $85), accessories, books, vegetables and a lot more..

We also went to Woolsworth at Bullcreek in the night.. The items there were cheap... But guess wat.. I brought only cheese (which is shared by Sheena too)!! So.. yea.. Wasted the trip.. Sigh... But it was fun! Hahaha! And I got more people to join Judo! But.. they gonna see me do my panda roll... T.T

Well, that's all.. I'm gonna facebook more and eat my breakfast! =))

And biochemistry II sucks. So do biostatistic. Genetics is not as bad, but still, its bad..

Zzzz..

Where's the life two weeks ago man??

5 riddles...

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!







Answers:

1. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under water; and hung).

3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.

4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday, today, and tomorrow!

5. The letter e, which is the most common letter used in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

How did you fare?

I REALLY HATE MYSELF.

BIOCHEMISTRY II SUCKS.

TOMATO EGGS SUCKS.

I'M NOT COOKING FOR ANYONE.

GO ON, TELL ME MORE. MAKE ME LOSE MORE CONFIDENCE. THAT'S YOUR MOTIVE RIGHT.

GREAT. YOU HAVE ALREADY SHATTERED MY CONFIDENCE. TELL ME MORE. MAKE ME FEEL MORE MISERABLE. IT ISN'T ENOUGH.

QUESTIONS LIKE "ARE YOU OKAY?" ARE STUPID. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT OKAY. WHATEVER YOU GUYS DO, MAKES ME REMIND ME OF HIM. COME ON. IT ISN'T ENOUGH. I'M HAVING A GREAATTT TIME REMINISCING HIM. I'M NOT USING GARLIC OR ONION OR SHALLOT ANYMORE. COOL. NO MORE IMAGES OF HIM IN MY MIND. GREAT. NO MORE TOMATO EGGS OR TOMATO RICE. NO MORE TOMATOES. I HATE THEM.

NO MORE FALLING SICK.
NO MORE NECKLACES.
NO MORE BABY MILO TEE SHIRT.
NO MORE DEPRESSION DUE TO STUDIES MATTERS.
NO MORE FILING.
NO MORE COOKING.
NO MORE MAKING MYSELF PRETTY.
NO MORE RED STUFFS IN MY ROOM.
NO MORE SINGAPORE FLYER.
NO MORE PRAWNING EVER IN MY LIFE.
NO MORE STUFFS.
NO MORE LOOKING AT PICTURES OF YOU AND ME TOGETHER.
NO MORE LOOKING AT YOUR SMS-ES.
NO MORE EMOTIONS.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OK?





I'm still feeling so hurt about it. Even though its been 2 months already.. It seems like its just yesterday.. I still don't understand why.. I know I'm not the best.. I'm trying to learn everything.. so that you won't find any more reasons for not wanting me back.. What did we do everything in the past together? Now whatever things I do, reminds me of you.. I really hate myself now.. Please tell me how to forget and let go.. Distance and time is making it even worse.. And there's no word from you.. Please tell me what to do.. Everything I do, reminds me of you.. Give me a solution.. Time doesn't solve this. IT DOESN'T. I don't want to end anything with you.. But I have to let you go.. I really admire Celia's courage...

Dessert Feast!! (They tasted real good!)

I officially DECLARE that
I AM DOWN WITH A SORE THROAT.

No VOICE!!!!!

But who cares, I had dessert (crème brûlée, berry bomb alaska and cheesecake). Well, I dun mind losing my voice over them.. =)))

And after which, Carmen, Kobi and I went to the library for overnight studying.. Did quite a number of stupid things (like attempting to open the library door without our cards, giving weird examples and all).. But I managed to study biochem and I'm glad that I gotten most of the concept correct.. Now is to remember all the pathways and study more in depth about the positve homotrophic and positive and negative heterotrophic interaction.. and I'm ready to score at least 80%!!! Bloody hell I spent so many days on biochem better give me at least a 80%!! Zzzzz.....

The fire thingy that is used to make the top layer of crème brûlée

Putting the sugar coating on the crème brûlée after which is being heated up by the fire thingy which will melt the sugar coating.. =)

Putting the cream on top of the berry bomb alaska =)).. The cream that Kobi whipped for 15 minutes continuously... Su-goi!!!

The wonderful Cheesecake made by Colin! Gosh. Tasted good! =)) I managed to keep one slice!!! HAHAHA!!!

The overnight studying. Notice that there's coffee and chips on the table.. I really deserved to get the sore throat.. Hahahah!!! But who cares!!

Ok now.. Back to even more studying... Zzzz...

TAYLOR LAUTNER IS HOT!

Ok. Random.

But...

I LOVE BIOCHEMISTRY II!!!

Its really beautiful!! All the reactions are so interesting!! Its amazing that our body have soooo many reactions happening at the same time!! So cool!! There's also marvelous words like adenylylation, disulphide reduction, trysinogen, alpha keto acid, dihydrolipoyl transferase, pyruvate carboxylase and more!!!

I REALLY REALLY LOVE BIOCHEMISTRY!!!

NOT.


Ok. Back to study.. Zzzz...

And taylor is really hot... In my personal view, he's hotter than Robby Pattz... JACOB BLACK!!!!
*SCREAMS*

Whatever, whenever, WHATEVER...

I'm in deep shit.. Out of 6 questions from the mock test, I only got 2 questions right.. Hahaha! I'm so dead.. Zzzz... Biochem full force for the next three days... Zzz..

The gel results came out pretty nice too... =)

Whatever, whatever..

Singapore National Day!

Well.. Yesterday was National Day for Singaporeans.. Had a lot of fun.. We did lotsa things too (everything except studying.. Zzz)!

In the morning, Carmen and I did our laundry and then we went to meet Fiona and Ka Hang to go Kardy! Haha. They have a mini "flea market" and things were super cheap there.. Iron can be like $1... Zzz.. But yesterday, there's nothing much there.. So awww.. Disappointment..

The flea market board..

Its just a carpark and everyone just display their stuffs there... =))

Shopped at IGA and brought something unique.. A PRAWN PEELER!!! Hahahaha! Its so different! And I immediately thought of my mummy! Hahahaha!! Hope when I come back she cook a lot of prawns for me! Hahahaha!! And I want my satay chicken! Zzzz...

Then the four of us went to Chicken Treats again. Hahaha! This time, we asked whether there's chicken before we start ordering since the last time that we went there's no chicken! Hahaha! So yea... And the staff looked at us in a strange way.. Hahaha!!

Chicken and mashed potatos! They're yummy!

We went back to the hostel since Fiona needs to pack up and come back to Singapore.. Haha! Then at around 1pm, we sent her to the airport via Sheena's friend car.. And after that we went to utopia.. A bubble tea shop at North Bridge!

And man.. my drink (blueberry tea) is not really nice. Shall get honeydew milk tea next time! Hahaha!

Bread sold in Utopia.. So cute rite? Hahaha!

Went back, clean my area up (Outside) for the room inspection that's on Monday (today!).. The room inspection is really nothing.. Haha.. Had me worried for nothing.. Haha..

At around evening.. We set foot to ECL2, which The Singapore Link had a dinner buffet and we watched NDP together!!

For this year's NDP, it totally rocks!! I love this year's one! Hahaha!!

Dinner Buffet.. There's CHILLI!!!, samosa, spring rolls, lemon chicken, satay chicken wrapped in pandan leaf, FUFU (tofu btw), CARROT CAKE and some chinese noodles infested with carrot and cabbage and all... DELICIOUS!!! YUM YUM!!! =))

Watching the NDP together.. Haha.. We also watched some commercials that Singapore have.. Hahaha.. It brings back memories of Singapore.. =))

FREE tour to swan valley..

Ok. Its really cool. Its a FREE tour. To swan valley where we tasted chocolates and non-alcoholic wine-like beverage. And after which a FREE dinner with music. Totally free (well almost, but i ended up buying ice cream and a bottle of golden whatever for my family. Well.. Must thank Fiona for sending it back home.. =))

First stop: Margaret River Chocolate Factory. Its not like Charlie's Chocolate Factory.. But its just a normal chocolate shop which sells chocolates.. And they have a viewing glass to see how chocolates are made..

The interior of the shop..

Free CHOCOLATE tasting. Haha. They have dark chocolate, white chocolate and milk chocolate.. I personally find the dark chocolate the best.. =) And I'm starting to like chocolates!!!

The shop assistant.. But look behind her.. There's mountains of chocolates in the packages!!

Stabs of chocolate bars.. I find them a bit too much...

Ice cream brought from the chocolate shop. Its $5. But worth the money. We had caramel nut and summer strawberry. Tasted good! Recommend to buy and eat it if you ever go there...

Taken from the viewing glass - how the chocolates are made...

Then we went opposite the road and to Lancaster, an outdoor wine tasting 'shop'. Didn't get to taste the wine though, as our group is too big and we had to pay $5 each if we were to taste the wine.. So we ended up camwhoring and took lotsa pictures and jump shots..

The TP Science School Murdoch Freshies!
From left to right: Sheena, me, Carmen and Ka Hang! =))

Then after cam whoring for wat seems to be a long long time, we travelled to our next stop; Kafarela's Vineyard. Here we tasted non alcoholic Fruit Juice.. Its super nice la... =))

The varieties that they offer..

Then we went back to Murdoch Village and had dinner at REC room. Dinner tasted good especially the brownies. And I'm starting to think that I like chocolates.. Zzzz... Oh man.. This can't be happening. I would have to wear a tag when I go back to Singapore.. Zzzz...

Tomorrow's NATIONAL DAY for SINGAPORE. Going to watch the NDP at one of the Lecture Theatre in school tomorrow with fellow Singaporeans.. Haha.. But what's most important is that THERE'S FREE DINNER TML. Hope they're asian food!!!!

And I seriously need to eat bread next week to lose weight... Zzzz.....

Absolute Rubbish.

Biochem II

Regulation of Enzyme modification: Why? To prevent futile cycle. Eg: Fatty acid to acetyl CoA.

Level of Enzyme modification: Gene -> mRNA -> Enzyme -> Functional Enzyme which is split into Active/Inactive enzyme and degraded enzyme. Process via transcription, translation, covalent modification, non-covalent modification and degradation respectively.

Coarse control: For Transcription, translation and degradation. Controls AMOUNT of enzyme.

Fine control: For Covalent and non-covalent modification. Controls RATE of enzyme reaction.

Covalent modification is split into irreversible and reversible.

Irreversible example: Pancreatic Proteases.

6 types of reversible:

1. Phosphoylation
   
2. Adenylylation
   
3. Urdinylylation
4. Methylation
5. Disulphide Reduction
6. ADP-riboylation

Phosphoylation/ dephosphorylation: Adding and removal of phosphate group.
Examples: Pyruvate Dehydrogenase and (can't rmb LOL)

PD:
Components
E1 - TPP, E2 - lipoic acid; CoASH, E3 - FAD, NAD+, R1, R2.

High ATP, acetyl CoA and NADH
- ATP -> Increase phosphorylation -> Active PD to inactive form
- acetyl CoA -> Increase activty of R1 -> Increase phosphorylation -> Active PD to inactive form and also inhibit E2's activity
- NADH -> Increase activty of R1 -> Increase phosphorylation -> Active PD to inactive form

Low ATP, High CoASH and NAD+
- Opposite of above.

o.0!! Useless thought of the day: I still miss you...

o.0, 0.o

Ok. Had really great days when school starts.

1) Started studying like mad (I know, Im too kiasu. I'll estimate this will keep up until 4 weeks later?)

2) Internet down (And OMG. Down for two days? Great. I can STOP facebooking and START STUDYING!)

3) Went for Karate class (and decided not to take it.. but it's a great workout!)

4) Potluck again. (This time, there's spicy fried rice. But not spicy enough.. Aww...!!)

5) Attempted to cook fried rice and quey tiao (which to me, tasted really great.. Haha.. I came to a conclusion that my tastebud is different from everyone's. Its not the north side or east side problem... Zzzz..)

6) Had a really great dinner (Chinese food in Perth which tasted super good! All thanks to Gordon and his colleague, Derrick)! We also had mackels' ice cream (its mcdonalds btw, I'm aussie-fied.. Its pronounced as mackels.. Haha)!

7) Got a printer for $25 (a very discounted price from Juhannes, my roommate after bargaining like mad..) and ink for $70. Cool. There goes my money! =((

8) Realised I brought my formal shoes (haha!). And after so long!

9) Signed up for the FREE tour to swan valley to taste FREE chocolates and wine on Saturday.

10) Sisters coming to Perth on 2nd September!! =))
