HEYA!!

Hello! Sorry I've been idle for sooo long!

Many many many things have happened this week but I didn't write about any...

I was busy!

First, rat disection! Yea!! It was awesome! well, it would have been better if the rats weren't that small... They weren't even bigger than our palms. I got kinda angry at the person who bought them. I mean... How are we going to see anything at all with such small speciments?? What a waste of money! I was hoping teacher would let us disect rats another day(when we get bigger ones) but she didn't. she just told us to disect those little things.

Oh well... What can I say? Our rat was the most beautiful one! Yea! I loved the outcome. Everything, the organs, were packed ever so neatly in that little body. Wow. The kidneys looked like little red beans, the liver was RED, the stomach-a yellow little bag and the intestines well, you can guess how it looked like anyway. The rat's rib bones were pretty soft(myb because it really REALLY was small) and we cut through them easily. sadly, by the time we got to the heart, it had stopped beating. I heard that other groups got to see the heart beat. Dum Dum Dum... nice... Oh well, that's for trying to make our rat neat, beautiful and PERFECT. haha...
Then, we started to pick out the organs for display.
*plz note that till now, the rat has not bled yet.

Okay, SNIP! ouch... blood starts flowing after the intestines got cut off... oh well, so much for perfect... next we got the kidneys out and then the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the heart, lungs(well one anyway)... TA-DAA!! Rat organs for display! :)
After that, they(my team mates) wanted to see the inside of the stomach. When i was trying cut a hole in it, we wondered if we would be squirted with some rat stomach juice.. Everyone backed away slightly. Well, turns out, no juice. just something that looked like mashed potatos. Thank goodness!! When we reaslised that, we cut the stomach in half(we were kinda running out of time) and WHOA! It(the mashed potatos thingie) was yellow and orange.. IT"S...IT"S... CARROT!! CARROT!!! (that what they(the rats) ate before they got disected) COOL!!!!!!!!

Then, WE, worked on the head. Snip snip snip tak. Snip snip snip tak. Wow, the skull IS hard. Couldn't penetrate through it. Now's the time i thank flo. THANK YOU FLORENCE! why? well, she kinda in a way taught us how to crack that skull open.(she wrote it in her blog) CHA! there goes the flying scissors---AND the skull. Ooo... more blood. Couldn't really see the brain. Sad. Li Li wanted to take the brain out for display too and almost cut the poor thing's head off!!! Yea, i know! I went:
"Li Li, you stop right there! I won't allow such disrespect to the dead!!"
The poor little thing! One of them(my other team mates) wanted to snip the tail off!! We screamed: "No!" What more damage DO you want to do on the rat?!?!

Soon, it was time to go back to class... We bent our heads down and gave the brave young(probably) soul a minute of silence, thanking it for letting us explore it's innards and yea, pretty much everything. we stuffed everything back in the rat's body and I dumped it in a plastic bag along with it's other friends...

Rest in peace...

or did i say pieces?

Maybe both...

(Will try to get a picture for you...soon. Patience is a virtue. RIGHT?)
OH, Something funny, the guys were afraid and going like "yerr..." and the girls were the ones who were excited about cutting the rats up. FUNNY... isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Second! Well, I went to a JAPANESE SCHOOL!!! It was SOOOO clean! It would appear that Japanese people have this culture of keeping their rubbish and throwing it at home... There really were no rubbish bins around! NONE!!
There, we learnt some Japanese dances for the upcoming Bon odori festival.We were seperated into a few groups and 3 Japanese girls taught us the dance. They were pretty funny and cute coz they couldn't really communicate in English. We made friends with them. I got their names too! --- Yuma, Lisa and Minobu. NICE GIRLS.
!!!!
CUTE JAPANESE GUY! Well, 2 guys anyway. :p !!!
Oh, and we saw some really really cute Japanese kindergarten kids. KAWAII~

Then on Saturday, we went for the Bon odori festival. Got a new shirt, got to see the cute guys again and I GOT TO DANCE ON STAGE!! ahem! For one session that is...there're three sessions.(the cute guys were on stage too! They play the drums) YAY! The Japanese girls wore kimono and danced on stage too.Got to snap a few pictures with them! :) Too bad I didn't have a camera. Pity...

p.s. i finished watching FMA! Don't like the ending though..
