BS202 tutorial

Something creepy happened. Over the past few days, I had been doing or trying to do the BS202 tutorial. I had been tryin to figure out the microbal growth curve for bacteria growing in medium containing glucose and galactose and three other questions. I had tried to find over the internet with no luck.

Can you imagine? I could not find the answer for the question on the microbal growth curve. Had asked a few friends before tutorial but with no luck too. Textbook did not have the answer too. But... I actually have the answer in my head which I never thought it would be that way as I got that thoughts from a dream on Sunday morning just before I woke up. I thought I was too stressed that I had a 'nightmare' due to too much thinking over the question. And that turn out to be the answer. OMG! I think I 走火入魔 already. I always that stalker uncle downstairs will 走火入魔. In the end, I am the one who had 走火入魔. Next time, if this happened again, maybe I should pen down cause who knows when it would be correct again. LOL!

Anyway, today the tutorial was not taken by the Prof so not so stressed. But I realized I think too much into the questions. Out of five, I only managed to do two and a half and they are all correct. I got another half answer in my mind from the dream which I never pen down. And I think too much and complicate the other two questions.

First, something like mechanism of how environmental factors (eg pH) affect cardinal temperature. And I keep searching environmental factors in general which includes many others including pH. Thus, I could not find any answer at all. In the end, the answer given only touch on pH which meant that the (eg pH) was the focus. (-.-)'''

The second question that I missed was to design an experiment to find out the concentration of X was presence while given information that compound X was essential for microbal growth but it was toxic to humans yet presence in drinking water. So I was thinking of how to create the experiment without harming humans. Guess what... In the end, it's just a normal standard graph of no of cells vs known X concentration. The information that X is toxic was ignored now. *Fainted*
