Vetsport

Hello :)

So here I am, updating again after so long. Life has been busy & my days were so hectic but nevertheless, all is good.

One thing I'm sure of, vetsport was really fun! At first I was rambling to my friend about my faculty not having sports day (I didn't know back then there'll be vetsport). And my friend was so full on himself & he started to make fun of vet students by saying things like "Well I'm not even surprised" & "Well you know how nerds like you guys don't play sports". Turned out he was utterly, completely, immensely WRONG! Haha! Even our event was way way way bigger than his. Look who's a loser now :P So basically, we had almost all kind of sports included in the event. It was only held on the weekends & it was an ongoing event for about a month. The event started with futsal game. I was volunteering for the night & it was a nice game. I couldn't quite remember the sequence but after that we had volleyball, netball, handball, basketball, chess, dart game, bowling, tug of war, and Frisbee. For the closing ceremony, we had sukaneka and also cheerleading competition! :D I joined netball, basketball, and the cheerleading team. I didn't get any place in netball & cheerleading but I got 3rd place for basketball (I didn't play much though :P). But I'll make sure that my netball team will get a place during the next vetsport :D

I learned so much & many friendships were built throughout this event. It was a memorable one and I would never say no to sports. I just love sports. Will be posting pictures later! Have a nice day! :)

I was playing GA at first but then I don't know the reason why, I vomited during our first match, and by the third or fourth match, I couldn't stand a lot of movements anymore, so I substituted place with the GS during our final match, and it was a mixed feeling between nauseated and nervousness as that was actually my first time being in that position!

This was taken after the match :)

This is our final formation lol.

Cruella De Vil and her Dalmatians.

This is our Frisbee team & they won first place. So proud of my coursemates :)

These last 4 photos were during the tug of war game. It was scorching hot but was one hell of a fun! I didn't join though. Was just cheering for my friends.

Marathon

Hello,

So on the last few weeks, a marathon run was held in my campus. As usual, it is compulsory for first year students to join, everything always is. Anyway I was aiming to get a place, they gave places up until the 500th from about 3000++ participants I think but unfortunately I didn't get any ): Haha never mind we had fun & I'll try again next year :P Here are some pictures of me and my girls

Love them all :)

Enzymes

Good morning,

So I know that most of you must be familiar with the word enzyme. Today in biochemistry class, the lecturer related the enzyme mechanisms with an interesting topic, love (or so-called). Basically, an enzyme is a catalyst and it speeds up the rate of reaction.

In high school, we've been taught that the enzyme is highly specific. It does not change shape. It only binds to its specific active site. The teachers were so insistent when I doubted it because you know it's a protein, and I thought a lot of chemicals have been made to alter any other chemicals. Turns out that today we learned about another mechanism which is called 'induced-fit model'. Apparently, the enzyme can slightly alter its active site to fit the substrate so that they can bind. So, the enzyme is not really that specific. But that's not what I really wanna discuss. All of you must have heard about lock-and-key model.

Now, there are two types of model; lock-and-key model & induced-fit model. The obvious difference between these two are its enzyme has specific active site whereas for the other one, the enzyme has the ability to suit itself to occupy the need of the substrate so that it can bind. For easier understanding, the relation for the lock-and-key model is that the boy would only accept the girl that is really specified to his taste. If he wants skinny girl, skinny it is. If he only adores blondie, blondie it is. If he likes bald girl, well, even one strand on her head won't do. He needs all criteria to be fulfilled, not even a single defect. Contrary to the other model, he is a little tolerable. If he wants a pretty girl, he would still accept an ordinary girl. He still has a criteria to be picked, but then he accepts the girl just the way she is.

The question is, which model are you?
