Rat Dissection - Final Destiny

Today marks the final day of the rat killing activity by the biology students.
Life had been taken by all of you.
May the rat blessed you with success in your STPM.
Hopefully they did not died in vain so that you may succeed.
Should any of you fail, you may have to answer to your peril in the Rat Kingdom in later years.....hee hee hee! I no longer care, yes!

Happy Teacher's Day

Thank you to all students of UB1 and UB2 2009 for the largest card ever received so far.

To my overseas students, Shin Ying, Yi Hua, Suo Yee aka Pet Pet and Jing Tsong, lovely cake that will fulfill my ego .... Thank you.

Rat Dissection D-day

U6B1 students undergoing the gruesome exercise of dissecting the rats. The reason they are not in uniform is that today is suppose to be JS Teacher's Day Celebration. They had to torture me and the rats during this auspicious day... but never mind, we shall let them pay for it..... ha ha ha Newton 2nd law of motion.

Practical Drawing for Rat Dissection

For the rat dissection drawing, here are the following guidelines

1. Experiment 8 (Practical No. 12) (3 drawings) - Fig 7 (choose the right one ) page 13; Fig. 9 page 15; and Fig. 12 page 18)
   
2. Experiment 9 (Practical No. 15) (only one drawing) - fig 38 page 37
   
3. Experiment 11 (Practical No. 17) (3 drawings) - Fig. 30 page 30 (do not draw the forceps); Fig. 28 page 29; and fig 40 page 37 (only the heart)

Experiment 8 will be carry out on the 17th June so the drawings will have to be done before that.
Happy drawing...

Rat Dissection UB1

Another day another rat... oh what a start hoh! Alright, let's see .... everybody get their mickey and minnie mouse. Mine was a better one than yesterday, beautiful abdominal organs and blood vessels. So we start at 10.00 am (not sharp-lah... holiday mah) and ends at about 4.oo pm.

Well, it is over for me that is for this year, but not for you guys/gals. June 18 and 25 will be the D-day (Dead day...hee hee)

Rat Dissection UB2

First dissection of the year 2009. This year we are using the preserved rats which were ordered from a company in Malacca. I do not find the rats to be suitable for dissection of the abdomen as the preservation causes the rats' intestines to be rigid. Finding Harry Porter Vein is easy but the display is not good.

We managed to find the arteries, ant. mesenteric and coelic arteries but again the arteries cannot be displayed well. Some rats are totally undissected as some the organs are decaying. Female rats have babies in them thus causing the intestinal organs to be squashed or pushed against the wall.

Hopefully the thoracic dissection can be better. We are going to start at 2 pm and let see what time it finishes. We actually ended our session almost at 4 pm. Thoracic veins and arteries are easier to do and I think I am satisfied with the preserved rat for this part of dissection.

Happy Teacher's Day#2

Yes today is Happy Teacher's Day (Selamat Hari Guru) to all the teachers of this country and the world but most importantly to my teachers (where ever you are).
Interesting SMS received by me

#1 by Koay Tian Soo (original one of course)
School is like cinema, Lessons in class are like what are shown today, just look at the list of shows in GSC (see list).
To some students, teachers are like Angels & Demons. Either they are The Uninvited or I Love You, Man.
Most of the time, students are the Power Kids; Teachers like Paul Blart: Mall (Pasar) Cop.
To go to school must be like A Night in Museum pt 2. But for most of teachers, it is like going to Battle for Terra.
For both students and teachers, expectation from both sides are to Make It Happen but it will have to be Fast & Furious 4 both of us

#2 by Cheah Thim Tuck
Teacher is like Pepsi "Ask for more", Teacher is likeNike "Just do it" Teacher is like Nokia "Connecting People" Teacher is like McD "I'm loving it" Teacher is likeToyota "Moving forward" Teacher is like Adidas "impossible is nothing"

There can be coffe without susu, nights without lampu, Curry without lembu, Burgers without keju, but not school without cikgu (... are you sure hoh)

#4 by Yeoh Liew Heong
Who is greater a mother or a teacher? (puzzle...puzzle) Surely answer is .... Teacher-lah...(shit, teacher hau lean one)...... Because a mother can put only one child to sleep but a teacher ..... puts the whole class to sleep
