Oh well, first day of attachment today wasn't that bad. I had almost a full day of orientation talks. Today started out with a short briefing about the institution (IMCB). This followed by a safety briefing at about 3pm. The briefing was long and draggy. Oh well, I guess this safety talk is important as it informs us about all the safety regulations in the institution. Alright. The food at biopolis was okay, I guess =P. Anyway, I did some work such as pouring agar plates and inoculating bacteria into the culture today. The lab I'm working in is dealing with SARS virus. No kidding! Hahah.. Oh well, its essentially SARS viral protein actually. =X haha... not the virus itself. Thus, I guess its not virulent. =D

So far, I think the people there leave me with nice impression. I hope this is some sort like mutual. Well, well. We (By the way, I'm working with Rus in this attachment programme.) will be doing a DNA mini preps tomorrow. Isn't that cool? On our second day of work, we are doing a mini preps. Its a nice institution which has an aim of training and educating students. =D One of their aims is to help us to perfect our techniques. This is really nice of them. =) Really appreciate it. I guess I'll stop here. Update you guys soon. See ya =D . OH OH. I would like ot THANKs all my friends who wished me luck and all the best for my attachment today. These message really made my day. Thanks!
