Disturbing field trip...

When I was young, field trips used to be somewhat irritating. They were always pictured to be fun, filled with advanture and somewhat free (not like money free lah, but like freedom). But everytime I went for a field trip, I would be stuck with some buddy buddy system (the teacher is smart, always pairing up people who are not good friends so we won't talk that much, especially the boy-girl types) plus the movements are all super controlled and we can't really do much. Not that I really blame the teachers now, if one of us got into a little trouble, I know who will get into trouble and that certainly isn't me. Well maybe a bit but not as much as the person who might get fired. Anyways, back in the days field trip were much of a laugh, probably more of a way to get out of class room and see new stuff (zoo + science centre = epic). However now that I'm older and doing Honours, I've got a chance to go for a field trip. Of course since I'm far older in comparison to my primary school days and I'm over 18, theres alot more "freedom" on my part. This really allows one to really enjoy a field trip properly. However, this field trip was a disturbing one and I'm here to share a few pictures for you to enjoy. I've PURPOSEFULLY not put in the REAL disturbing pictures...
This is the place... Obviously the name of the place is called genetics! This is where the "quality" bulls are bred to achieve peak performances in milk and other traits desirable my farmers etc...
A slightly more "artistic" shot of the place...
Right... Though I agree what I saw next was the unpredictable part
As you can see here, heres a nice picture of two bulls. Oh did I forget to mention? This place contains no cows (females) for the bulls to mate with. Anyways back to the topic, heres a nice picture of two bulls. They keep all the bulls in a cage looking on at another bull and the man (in the picture) tries to get all the bulls sexually stimulated for the collection of sperms for data collection. No, there is absolutely no beastility, at least I didn't observe any. Instead, I spent 30 mins of male bulls get aroused through vouyeurism and humping that poor brown bull and a man getting a cone like thing (an artificial cow vagina *pardon the language but I can't think of another word other than "pomp pomp" from Russel Peters*) to cover the Bull's "Thing" at the end which looks like a beet root coloured carrot (shaped exactly like one) right before it ejaculates. I see him collecting it and if any spill over, it wipes his hands (which have no gloves etc) on his pants.
Heres a Machine there is used to to put the sperms into little blue straws that you will see next. Quite frankly, the man who collects it passes it to the scientist who then runs some experiments on it. Theres even a machine that allows us to see the sperms moving.
Heres the blue straw, the sperms are at the end of the straw. Its NOT meant for anything else BESIDES storage
Heres the place they use to freeze the sperms (Liquid Nitrogen - one of the coolest stuff you will see around).
After that, I left the place without turning my head back and a tear rolled down my cheek as I contemplated about life. The picture in my mind of 30 mins of bull on bull activity was something mankind should not be exposed to. So I propose everyone to start consuming more steak from now on to put these bulls out of their misery.
Dear Tomoka, I know that your doing Animal Science and your probably going to do this kind of work in the future. I just wanna say, God bless you... Seriously, God Bless :)

Randoms from last year

Its been forever since I've written on this blog and I'm somewhat surprised that its still existent... Personally I thought that blogspot would just shut it down. Anyways, here are some interesting pictures I had the opportunity to take last year!



Heres a picture of a double yolk egg that I cracked with my bare hands. Yes, it is indeed my first double yolk egg and very possibly your first time seeing it as well, looks like I managed to make your dream come true...




These are a set of attempted yoghurt samples I tried making last year for my experiment using Bovine milk (Cow milk) and soya milk. Trust me, don't ever make or consume soya yoghurt... Looking at the pictures, can you guess which one is of a bovine or soya origin? (There are 4 different samples, 2 are Bovine milk and the other 2 are Soya Milk).



Lastly, this is a little picture of one of stuff I was working on during my internship at a particular food company. That black coloured thing is not tar, its actually coca cola. This is HOW it actually really looks like before they add in water and carbonise the drink. Its actually a bit disgusting, its very thick and viscous and whenever I pour it into another beaker, it reminds me of the Singapore advertisment that discourages smoking (the one where a black liquid is being poured into a container). Though many people say Coca Cola has alot of sugar, I trust many of you may either be skeptical of it or rather most of you know it can really can't be bothered... Well its not true, it does not have alot of sugar. Rather it has TONNES of sugar, its over 50% sugar (that black coloured thing has a heck of a lot of caramel).
