Dearest bloggy,

What's the connection between the BLOOD and the porcelain plate with wells???

Well will tell you soon enough.

Just now we had MCB lab (Molecular and cell biology), and so happen that the experiment was on BLOOD... And there was this part where we can test our blood using anti-A antiserum, anti-B antiserum, and anti-D antiserum (which i don't know what is it and how to read it, but typed it here JUST BECAUSE it sounds pro).

Firstly, we put the three substances into the porcelain plate wells as shown above.

Secondly, clean your finger with 70% ethanol sprayed on the cotton bud.

Third, Mr Lim Chia Hong aka MCB lecturer pricks your hand with this sterile needle thing.

Lastly, SQUISH out your blood and drip it into the wells. By the clotting, you have your blood type staring up at you!

But at the last stage i squeezed too much blood out! It's just flowing off my finger like a fountain of glory or something! And then it couldn't stop for a little while longer after that.. >.< But here is a little thing that i found in a forum....

"Rhesus negative are more common in Caucasian population..it's a rarity among Asians"

Oho ho! I'm a rarity! But then it's actually bad, because this Rhesus negative thing, means that my cells don't have that specific protein or receptor on it's outer membrane. So, the Rhesus negative will recognise the Rhesus positive (which is a majority of the population) cells as an insurgent and kill it!! No second child for me then cause i will kind of... accidentally kill it if it's a positive due to efficient immune system.. =.= But first child is OK i guess, cause my body just detected the positive cells and won't kill it straight away.

Oh enough negative talk!

I was christian ed the name "Serena" by Sonal just because i look SERENE when eating my chicken rice.. Cough cough. OK! Got to depart now! Need to do my Biology of organisms and Maths assignments due tomorrow. Sighs deeply.... Bye!
