REFLECTION

Goodness, it's already the end of October! I can't believe it that the time has gone by faster than anything. Today, I just stayed all the day alone. Sometimes, when I stay alone, my thought process gets accelerated.

I really wonder, is this what life is going to be like? Should I take part in so many activities ? Can I handle my results as well? Why I always complaint that it is barely to find a date for taking a good rest? It must take some effort to fit in so many things into a single day and seems as if I'm being dragged along by the routines of life.

Well, let’s start from today. I promise to myself that I can’t continue spending my time without any plan. I should be the one for controlling my life.

THE BIO EXPERIMENT


In this post, I’m going to talk about the Biology experiment for this week. The experiment for this week is about the cell division and the analysis of growth. In this experiment, we used onion root tip for observing the cell cycle. We have to plant the onions before 1 week to the experiment. Here is the photo which I have taken for the onions which owned by my group. We have drawn some faces on the onions for fun.

Okay, be seriously. Here is the procedure which we have done for making a onion root tip sample. First, We have to cut off the root tip and dip it into the Carnoy’s s solution for one day. The purpose of this step is for fixing the situation of cell’s growing. After this step, we have to soak the root tip into 1 M HCL solution for soften the cell tips. In order to examine cells in the tip of an onion root, a thin slice of the root is placed onto a microscope slide and stained so the chromosomes will be visible.

Although slicing the onion root captures many cells in different phases of the cell cycle, the teacher told us that the cell cycle is a continuous process. Scientists have divided the process into 5 phases: (1) Prophase (2) Prometaphase (3) Metaphase (4) Anaphase (5) Telophase.

Here is the SONG...


Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
Ill find my way through night and day cause I know I just cant stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace Im sure and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Here is the song, “Tears in Heaven” lyrics, which is one of Eric Clapton’s songs. I’ve got the chance to listen this song when I was having dinner with my friends in a restaurant which is situated at Ximen .This is not my first time to listen this song, but I’ve never noticed the lyrics before until my friend told me about this song.

It's terrible that it took Conor (Eric Clapton’s son)'s death and Eric's grief to write such a beautiful song for his son. From this song, I can sense the sorrow of Eric Clapton, but he didn’t show his sorrow directly such like using the words such as “heartbroken”, “grieved” in the lyrics , but all of us can sense his deeply sadness and his love to his son.

MY FIRST BLOG

I've never thought that I would ever spend time in front of my computer creating a blog. As my friend, they would know, I am not passion in blog. I seldom express my feeling and thought in such of this way. Now, I’ m going to post my first blog in my life.

Everyone has their life's road ahead of them. Whether good or bad, what we do, where we go and how we see, it's all one big road trip. I am experiencing my new life now, this is the road I walk on, the paths I choose wherever it begins, however it ends.

Well, days and nights pass and i've lost count of how many weekends i've spent buried with my schoolwork and activities.However, I still believe that the hard times that I go through build character, making me a much stronger person. I’ve got to move on and be who I am.
