ahhh... this entry, is once again, late by a week! this shall be about MAF'06, which was held last week within HwAcHoNg.
mostly pictures and few wordssss. plus 3 videos too! EXCITING.
first, we met at Orchard to makan at pastamania - Cineleisure =)

when it was 6:30pm, we chiong-ed back to hwachong. on the bus, adam and karen shared some music.

i took some paparazzi fotos and karen instantly morphed into a monster.

so finally, we reached hwachong, just in time for the Light-up!

and this is the backdrop. Chang-e....

we took many group photos =). one with mr chow...

and one with mrs ang!

Poor adam, he actually asked mrs ang for a dance. you should know what's her reply =)
the haze was bad, and the moon appeared red, but everyone was still HIGHHHH...
As we sing and stand in a line. sorry, too dark!
another video =)
later on, we left slightly earlier to avoid the crowd, and snacked at KAP.

ok so that's about all for MAF'06!!!
and i shall go on to report on my trip to KK Hospital's SPERM BANK. zhenhao gwyneth and i went, as part of out LAST bio S lesson yay.
girls, grab ur seats. dont change channels, cos this ISN'T PORN.
though i heard that sperm donors are given porn magazines to accelerate the donation process. the nitty gritty details, i shall leave out =).

anyway, what caught my eye was the millions of cranes hanging from the ceiling. whoaaaaa...
GORGEOUS
following which, we had a short briefing about ARTs (artifical reproductive techniques), IVF and IUI(intrauterine insemination). i realised i havent thought about whatever happens between zygote formation and blastocyst formation. have u wondered... what happened to the zona pellucida? i haven't. oops.
and well, apparently there is a BLASTOCYST HATCHING process! the zona pellucida breaks open and the blastocyst is expelled =)

and this is how IVF is carried out. click and watch the video! notice that at the end, u see an ovum with 2 nuclei inside. THAT's the male and female pronuclei! amazing.

and the lab assistants(ladies!) demonstrated how semen analysis is carried out. btw, that's REAL semen. no offence, people.

and this is how the sperms are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks=) see those tubes? each one of them contains sperms from an individual

ok! end of field trip!
once again, i shall end off this entry with yet more beautiful shots from my house =)
my block getting a new coat of paint!

Live it, love it. Bukit Panjang.
