Photography
Nature and Nature’s Laws lay hid in Night
Recently, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation of and love for science because of my biology labs, BIOL 240 and BIOL 360. Here are some pictures I’ve taken – they’re not amazing or groundbreaking but they make me excited:
(above) Rat Duodenum Villi under 400x Magnification and Phase Contrast
(above) Rat Duodenum Villi with FITC-WGA under 400x Magnification and UV Light
(above) Allium apical meristematic cell in prophase under 400x
I’m particularly excited because these were cells that I personally fixed for microscopy and photography. Given, they’re not the very best but I’m still very proud!
then be not coy
For the past few days, I have been trying to spend as much time with C as possible, knowing that she leaves for law school in Hong Kong. Today, we gathered at the airport to see her off, once and for all.

on the street where you live
I probably should be wary of creepers but it was too gorgeous a morning not to run out a take pictures on my street (before running back in so I could post this on time). I’m hankering for a McDonald’s coffee right now and it’s not too far away…think I can make it?
Or, after dark, will dubious women come
After having brunch with my family this morning, I came home to prepare for a quiet day of housecleaning and relaxation. Of course, it was not to be so.
L phoned me and asked if I would like to go to Oakridge. Intrigued, I acceded to her proposal and off we went, picking up A along the way. I later found out that a celebration for the opening of the Cambie Street – 41st Avenue Canada Line skytrain station was being held. Our tour guide, T, was on duty at the time.
It was a raucous affair, featuring a mainstage and several informational booths. At the time I went, some youth dance groups were performing.
After being amused for a while, we decided to descend the stairs into the Cambie Street – 41st Avenue station. I was impressed by the cleanliness and brightness of the underground station; it was really quite nice! Unfortunately, it reminded me of the “No Mercy” campaign in Left 4 Dead, specifically in the subway level. Can anyone who has played Left 4 Dead blame me?
After spending a few more minutes appreciating our tax dollars at work, we left the station and returned to the festivities above ground. T took a moment out of work to watch the main stage, black tresses trailing behind her.
Re-entering Oakridge, we took a quick walkabout before T had to return to her post. On our way, a dark stranger whispered something mysterious in T’s ear…
Just kidding! It was just A, talking to T. We ended up walking through Oakridge without much incident so we left. Thanks to L, A and T for making an otherwise quiet day into one filled with fun times.
