My blood is type AB positive! :D

Salam and greetings to everyone who's reading.

We had the best Bio Lab class ever this morning. We did experiments on genetic traits. It was by grouping your blood(blood typing) and recognizing and doing poles on how many people in the class possess the traits listed.

I got to admit, I was a bit anxious with the experiment. I was scared of the blood typing thing. The mere clicking sound of the lancet made me shudder. Fizah was the first one whose finger was being pricked by the lancet. And immediately after Syau pricked her finger, she yelled " AUUUUWWW!!!! SAKIT! SAKIT!!!!! (PAIN! PAIN!)". My face turned pale and I was a bit scared. Pathetic, huh?

Then, it was Husna's turn. She, on the other hand, failed to show any expressions of shock or pain. Whoa, that's COOL! And then it was my turn. I kept on wiping my finger with the alcohol strip for a few times nervously. And Syau inserted a new 'needle' into the the lancet. I kept on whining pathetically and annoyingly on how PAINFUL it would be. And finally, I relented on it. When Syau finished pricking my finger. I was like........

" Lahhh, macam ni je ke? Tak sakit pun!"
and both of us laughed. Syau mentioned that my expression is kind of 'tak-boleh-blah'. Seriously. I'm so pathetic. But it doesn't mean that I'm such a sissy girl. I've received TWO injections when I was in Primary One. The first one is the Standard 1 injection and the second one is the RUBELLA injection. I didn't shed a tear AT ALL!. Yes, I received the Rubella injection when I was in Standard 1. Some of my friends from Convent Father Barre cried when they received that particular injection when they were in STANDARD SIX! And of course, I received various injections throughout my school years. I'm not scared of injections, OK. I was just being a pathetic drama queen there in Bio Lab.

And so, my blood is Type AB positive! YES! It's very RARE, I KNOW!!!! At first I thought that I get the AB NEGATIVE coz the blood took a long time to clot in the rhesus reagent.
And so for the next experiment, Madam did head counts to determine who possess that particular trait and such.Anyway, AB positive is a universal recipient. the red blood cells do not have any antibodies and so it could receive blood from any blood groups. Some of my friends were a bit jealous, LOL. :P

I have heavy eyebrows, my nose is straight but not that prominent (mancung). LOL. It's a Chinese trait I possess. LOL. It's an intermediate between flat and prominent. I should be proud of it. ROFL. My hair is straight. It's a bit embarrassing to raise up your hand when the brothers actually look behind to see who possessed straight hair or wavy hair. LOL. Straight hair. Again, a Chinese trait.Or even Korean, JAPANESE! It's surprising to know that straight hair is a recessive trait. I thought that many of us have straight hair! Enough of that. I have a rare dimple.But I did not raise up my hand when Madam did the head count. It would be quite embarrassing. The dimple is rarely seen. Only some of my friends noticed it. It is situated below the cheek and at the corner of the mouth. You can only see it if I smile with my mouth closed. But that is impossible of course as my cute front teeth protrudes against my upper lip and it seems weird if I smile that way. LOL. Oh yeah, my mum and my youngest brother have dimples on their cheeks. It's just that mine is a rare kind of dimple. But hey, dimple is any kind of natural dent on the face, right? ;) Yeah, check the definition in wikipedia. :)

I can't roll nor fold my tongue. I don't have a widow's peak. I have a hitchiker's thumb and curved thumb. I can curve my little finger. My ear shapes are quite peculiar. I have attached earlobe at one ear and I have the intermediate between attached and hanging earlobe at the other ear. But it looks like attached anyway. LOL. And the Darwin's ear point. Only TWO brothers possessed that trait. It's like, your ears are shaped like an elf's ears. The first one has Darwin's ear point at both side of his ears and the other one has only one Darwin's ear point. I didn't realise about the structure of my ears so I didn't raise up my hand. But when I got back to my room....

HOLY MACARONI! I have a Darwin's ear point at one ear and normal ear point at the other side! Hahahaha. But Darwin's ear point is so cute, don't you agree? ;)

And as for the blood group, it is quite surprising to see that ONLY TWO PEOPLE in the class possess the blood type AB POSITIVE! Yeah, those two people are UMMU and..who else? SARAH SARCASTIC! No wonder I have an alter ego. Maybe Sarah Sarcastic is blood type A and Sarah Kushairi is blood type B. LOL.
LOL. That's quite funny. Most of us possess the O positive blood. The second highest blood type is B positive, followed by A positive, B negative and AB positive. The negative rhesus factor is quite rare and can be quite dangerous to the women especially. It's a recessive trait. Your future child beared in the womb will have blood that is incompatible with yours. Huhu. You'll have to find a husband who possess the Negative rhesus type blood. Advice. Next time you meet a new guy, ask about his blood group. LOL.

So in conclusion, genetic traits are very interesting things to be discovered and recognized! :)
It shows that we are unique in our own ways. We are different. We have our own specialties,talents and flairs. So why should we wish to be someone else? :D
I'm proud to be ME, MYSELF AND I. :)

aha, i remembered doing this in Form 5!
i was the one walking around picking needles into EVERYBODY'S finger.
it was an exciting moment, and i felt like a doctor there and then. haha.
but the downside of it was, i didn't hv time to prick MY OWN finger T___T

so i'm still clueless about my blood group. but since my parents are both A, so maybe i'm A-type too.

ah, biology. rhesus factor was my fav topic back then ;p

Sarah said...

LOL.
Exactly. That's what Syau just did! :D

She kept on calling "Next! Next!" haha.
Seriously, you don't know your blood group? Hehe. You'd better check it. Yeah, I guess that your blood type is A too. But I'm not sure about the rhesus factor. Probably positive kot. It's very rare to see a person with a bloody type A negative. O__o

Lisa said...

oh i meant A-type, not A- type.

maybe la kot positive hehe
