Prelude:
Pressure and excitement is mounting in LDX Lab as the date for the inaugural Inter-student Lab Techniques Competition draws near. In bid to catch up with the recent obession with pre- and post match analyses etc, we decided that it is of utmost importance to also give our two cents worth in this write up. (Dun worry, we will not be charging our readers $10 extra as there are no pretty lasses nor has-been footballers behind this piece of work)
Pre-match Analysis (Part I)
Some information on 5 of our contestants.
Contestant No. 1 : Wei-Jie
Representing: NUS
Sensei: Dr Yamada
Fondly known as: The Spinning Vice-President; KTV-rocker; The Officer
Special Skills: Casting all types of 2cm long resolving gel
Most memorable performance (s):
We cannot decide between his proudly self-aclaimed 50% rate of gel casting, or his ability to transfer proteins to the filter paper despite getting pointers from our PhD student
Winning factors:
Kiasu-ism. We heard he has already started his intensive training. Don't be surprise to see him in the lab during Saturdays and Sundays from now on. We suspect he is forgoing his lunch breaks as well.
Famous Quotes: Hello? Come on. Where is my labcoat?
Odds of winning: 1: 50
Contestant No. 2 : Raymond
Representing: NUS
Sensei: Dr Yamada
Fondly known as: Lay-Mon
Special Skills: Defying the volume capacity of pipettes during aspiration. Dangerously known as the "pipette-filter-killer"
Most memorable performance (s): none at the moment
Winning Qualities: Very serious about his work. Touted to be the next "S-protein" man, after his sinseh.
Famous Quotes: Er..
Odds of winning: 1: 50
Contestant No. 3 : Kah-Suan
Representing: NTU
ShiFu: Dr WXX
Fondly known as: Jia-xuan; KTV-Queen
Most memorable performance (s): Numerous. Just to name a few: Attempted to come up with a novel way of exposing her film using just PBST. Exhibit jaw-dropping inner strength (something like nei-gong you know) by breaking not one, but two pipettes with her tiny fists. Demonstrate admirable patience when she decided to give her cells a half-an-hour trypsin bath.
Famous Quotes: I am the student with the best lab technique
Winning Qualities: If we can believe her, she is the "student with the best lab technique"
Watch out for: Her special skill of distracting her opponents with incessant speech, aim to distract or confuse her enemies. However, this could also be her bane should she not exercise care in executing this move during the tissue culture segment.
Odds of winning: 1: 50
Contestant No. 4 : John
Representing: NTU
Guru: Dr Nasir
Fondly known as: Er.. John?
Special Skills: Specialises in western blotting. Known for his generosity with reagents and buffers.
Most memorable performance (s): Fully exemplifies the meaning of "More is good" when he washed his membrane with a 99% PBST-filled tupperware.
Winning Qualities: Very serious about his work. Keen to learn.
Famous Quotes: Err..You all know I'm talking about Bax right?
Odds of winning: 1: 50
Contestant No. 5 : Anne
Representing: NTU
Laoshi: Dr LingHui
Fondly known as: Not known
Special Skills: Invisible gloves? A certain Dr XX informed the committee that shehas been seen working with gloves invisible to the naked eye.
Most memorable performance (s): None at the moment.
Winning Qualities: Very meticulous, like a girl should be, unlike Contestant No.3. Looks professional and pretty in labcoat. (But then it might not be an advantage cos the judging panel is made of female judges) We heard from Contestant No.4 that she has already acquired lots of lab experience before her LDX stint.
Famous Quotes: Not sure, haven heard much from her but we guess it might be "mensuck", if she is one of those who let her tshirt do the talking.
Odds of winning: 1: 20
