xX That was fast XxAlright... Today was the last day of school... These 2 weeks moved in a very slack pace, maybe with the exception of preparing the ICBE poster and Math CCT.
My group's ICBE poster on
Nitroglycerin turned out quite nicely, not too wordy or cramped. Attending the poster presentation was like attending a story recital competition minus the fake emotions and tones the reciter adds to liven up their stories.

Yoghurt consumes lactose and produces lactic acid, which causes denaturation of proteins in the milk.
Lactose + H2O ==> Glucose + Galactose
Galactose + ATP ==> Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP
Glucose + 2ATP + 2 NAD+ + 2 Pi ===> 2 Pyruvates + 4 ATP + 2 NADH
Pyruvate + NADH ===> Lactic Acid + NAD+
The denatured proteins tangle together into a solid mass that gives yoghurt its unique texture.

Hmmm... Shall take a break from DotA-ing by the start of next week. EM2 exam is next friday! How soon can that be?! In less than 2 weeks time, Year 1 is basically over! Soon, it'll be attachments and trainings and oh-come-what-may.
Scottish Indie rock band, Franz Ferdinand, performed here in Singapore last night. When I first heard their new album, I thought it was pure bullshit. But you know, as you listen to it a few more times, you kinda develop a taste for it. Now (or maybe since last year), I've been beginning to shy away from pop songs - like those from Britney Spears & Beyonce Knowles. And most of the others along the same lines la! Alternative and General rock rocks!
All right, writers' block has befallen on me again. Shall end here then. Sends birds to those having exams soon. I'm sure only a few can understand what that meant.
Till next time, Au Revoir!
