Some participant from EMBO gave prof a coconut pie from Philippines. one is the original flavour, and the other has pineapple inside.




From the fridge. not appetizing.


Teren came late. still got a bite.


The one with pineapple. soso,


The original one with just coconut is much better. really soft and fragrant.

Embo had their microscopy course in the EMU and we get some 'fringe' benefits. 10 days of lunches and teas.
Took pics of the lunch and tea for Friday.
Lunch was mee siam, satay (chic and mutton), bbq pork ribs (Terror's plate full of it), fish balls, some fish, dessert was can fruits in syrup with sea coconut.
Tea was spring roll, some pork bun thing, and the white sticky thing with peanuts inside.

its works! (no typo - proper singlish)

mel tried elisa with some mouse serum and the plate works!! some positive results after so long... bliss.

transformer fever

Dr. J's Bday

pudding with cherries, grapes and strawberries. custard inside and some breadcrumbs

mist

Saw mist in the NUH carpark near lab. Thought it was an after rain effect. Went closer and found out, its mosquito fogging...., still, in the pic, looks quite nice, like some highland resort.

food poster

spot the difference

poster

New poster of the lab. DrJ will print it out in hardcopy and paste somewhere in the lab.

BSC fumigation

the 'oldest' bsc we have was fumigated recently because it is now for transfection use only, not for infection work. So the guys came in with the formaldehyde and sealed up the whole thing and taped the plastic to the floor. couldnt use the lab for the whole day, and the next day they put in the neutralizing chemical that stank... forgot its name. we took an extended early lunch just to be away from the lab. pity the other labs who were still sitting around the corridor.
The last pic is the heating element for the formaldehyde.

old microscope

Gave away our old microscope that is more than 15 years old because its really a white,erm... beige elephant sitting around. the lenses have fungus and the fluorescence lamp is dated. the camera is also a film type and no one knows how to use it.
Got a slim new one just to view our cells in flasks. ckx41.

baked bottom crust


layer the bottom of the crust with flour, then add in the apples. press down the apples to fill up all the gaps


filled up pie


roll out some pastry for the pie top


put it on and cut off the access, then pattern the pie as you want.


bake the pie for another 20-30 minutes and you have a apple pie!


final step: cut and devour!


oh yeah, use the leftover pastry to make tarts. in this case, pineapple tarts.



went back kl for one week last week and made my mum teach me how to make apple pie.
