Streptococcus pyogenes

That's it...

Now i know how I got sick!

It wasn't a coincidence rite???

Crap it must be it...

On the 14th of October, we were having practical at the wet lab. The theme of the practical was bacterial classification and identification. That time, there were cultured microbes on the blood agar, chocolate agar and MacConkey agar ready for us to do gram staining and view them under the microscope. The microbes that were readily cultured were, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli and Klebsiells pneumoniae. However we also did our own culture of microbes on the new agar. You know how did we get the microbes? Well, took it from our own normal healthy bodies. Bear in mind that microbes are living everywhere, inside and out of you human beings~! So from the ear, nasal, throat, and face swabs, we cultured them on the given culture medias. After that, they were being incubated overnight at 37 degrees celcius.

So back to the story, Shalene, Kim and I were doing gram staining for Streptococcus pyogenes. The funny thing is, Shalene was the one who scraped off some of the Streptococcus pyogenes from the culture and put them on the slide. Kim did the heating of the slide containing Streptococcus pyogenes. And I did the gram staining and that's all. By the time Kim heated the microbes, didn't they die already? They couldn't be alive when i was doing the staining...

I know I got infected by Streptococcus pyogenes when we handled that culture containing Streptococcus pyogenes somehow.........

So, I found the culprit to my sickness~!

Geez, I'll never do any lab work that has something to do with microbes~

Anyway, it seems like there's a lot of ppl getting sick after the lab practical...

So, it should be because of the microbes...

T_T I didn't study for a week cos I was sick... So sad... I'm so left behind now..


Ok, wad you're seeing now is a culture media fill with Streptococcus pyogenes~









Oic, this doesn't make any sense at all...



Woops, wrong picture~!



Got the wrong bugs pulak....



Haha...



This is it, may I present to you....








A Note to MoNiCa :
Psst~ sorry for infecting you with Streptococcus pyogenes~ ^^ Get well soon~! ^^ May God bless you~!

I went for Taekwando with Monica.
Gee, the warm up was really strenuous.
We had to run here and there like lil kids~
There Monica met her new lil sister named Naomi.
Waliu eh, tat primary one gal, so young already know how to boss us around. =.="
After few hours, I realised that my thigh muscles are really aching~

Nah, just probably...
I realised tat, i can't squat down or climb down the stairs properly.

On the 13th Oct....
I found out that climbing down the stairs is excruciating~
I even walked like a duck in the faculty...~

I just stand there like a dummy wearing slippers trying my best to pass a ball...
Hmm, not bad, orang kurang upaya like me also can shoot a goal... =P

Today, my throat's kinda dry...

On the 15th Oct...
Gee, I knew that my sore throat's gonna get worst but i didn't take any precautions such as eating Strepsils yesterday...

Today...

Today, is the 2nd day of Raya...

My dad, sis and I went to visit Siti K's house at about 11 am. The food there was delicious hehe... There i also met Jessica Kho and Grace. It's like years ago when I last saw them... hehe~ We chatted for a while only and then we went home.

When I Reached home, I tried to use my wireless internet in my house but i can't cos it's security enabled and don't remember the password. Normally, i can just get in without typing the password but now since my laptob's being reformatted, i can't go online at all without the cable. So i have to bring my laptob down and use the cable. I rather like play my laptob in my room coz it's far more comfortable...

Later, at 5 pm, my dad and i left the house and picked Yun Seh up. He dropped us at Jln Song's Pizza Hut. After a while, Jonathan(JoeY) came. So we ordered Thai Seafood Pizza, 4 bread sticks, 2 plates of spaghetti, and 4 bowls of soup. Well, they all came in a set. So we chit chat for a long long time. Hmm, JoeY really looks like Patrick if his pictures are taken in a specific angle lol... Brothers in the past life i suppose...

Anyway, we went around and bought ciplak DVDs there. Omg, JoeY almost bought porn and the tauke wanted to sell him porns hahah.. pity him... yun seh is my money manager haha... she counts money really well and i dunno how she does it. Well my maths sucks eventho' i got A in maths everytime. hahah cos i depend on CALCULATOR~ till today hahahha... nvm, got money manager, no need to worry. Her brain got big computer and calculator... very smart one her.. penolong ketua pengawas summore. JoeY is also a good money manager. His brains all got numbers... Doing mechanical engineering o... Geng le... me ah, nothing to do with maths hahah... my brain is full of music hehhe.. ok enough of crapping...

After that we went to Amazing Pets and a shop full of shop toys while waiting for our parents to come. Hehe... JoeY went home first. Haiz, sad la... Friday morning he's leaving for KL, TAR college. Take care JoeY, esp your skin~ drink lots of water o....~! Babai~!

When i reached home, I went online and I chatted with my beloved Brandon boo in Antartica! LoLz oh ok, it's in Russia by the way, Moscow to be specific. Luckily got line there which is being set up in his hostel yeseterday only! According to him, the SMS rate to Malaysia has been increased by 3.5 times just becos there's lots of Malaysians in Russia. So bad la... Mish him lots ^^

Anyway, I got to sleep... it's so late at nite edi...

Good nite~!

And Selamat Hari Raya guys~!

Happy Holidayz...~

May God Bless eUU~!

Selamat Hari Raya~!

Hey to all my muslim frens all over the world... SELAMAT HARI RAYA~!

Hmm, on the first day of hari raya, I went to 2 or 3 houses of my mom's friends' houses. We start of our journey at 12 pm. We went to a few houses only cos we can't find their houses and I have to get my laptob from the shop. Not bad la the shop, still work during Raya heheh... more convenient lol. Anyway, my laptob got reformatted and it's brand new again. Before that it was really damn lagging la. I'll get so mad with my laptob's slowwwwwwnesssss everytime. Now it's running smoothly...

Anyway, I bought an external hardisk which capacity is 320Gb with the brand of Western Digital. Not bad la... so big la the space... I bought it cos i duwan to interfere with my laptob's activity by trashing so many pictures and songs and videos into the internal hardisk which is only 160Gb... small rite? It cost about 3o0 plus plus plus bucks lol... i forgot... My dad bought it for me in Saberkas... hahah thanks Dad~!

After buying the external hardisk, we went to Sunderland. It's the place where they sell furnitures. So i bought a nice bookshelf there that even fit in my filez... heheh.. i was quite shocked to see a sofa set which theme is kek lapis lol... funny la... but interesting~

After that we went to Batu Lintang to eat. And there we met Jeffrey and his family. Later, at home, my dad, mom and I fixed the new bookshelf... it was fun fixing, but tiring too.. Excellent workmanship, my dad said. LoL
