This anatomy practical had reinstated my status and rekindled the excitement in being an optometry student. This disassembling had unexpectedly pieced back my shattered focus over the past few weeks. I just hope the passion derived from this practical would continue to stay till there's something as fun, or better than this in our 2nd and 3rd year that will override this.
Cutting off that damn orbital fat from the piggy eye

Sorry if this LJ-cut had given you a little shock =P
Anyhoo, how could we give this opportunity a miss to play like.It's not often that we get to play with an eyeball almost as big as ours. So far, my guinea pigs' have been that of chickens, fish, prawns, crabs etc... and on most occasions, I failed in extracting the ball wholely, ended up in draining the vitreous humor till the eyeball itself collapsed into nothingness... Somewhat like the collapse of a star into black hole. And shiat my brain for the uber lag that it was only after that I got home and sat in front of the computer uploading this batch of pictures that I got hit by an inspiration to make a video.
Back to business...
Me struggling to clean up the orbital fats as much as possible
OMG. So focused.
From this practical, I got to see a side of me which I don't usually have the opportunity to do so, that is, "Yep at Work". I mean, a mirror beside your study table just won't do and ordinary people wouldn't set a time lapse camera on during revision, though I'm not aware if there's anybody out there that record a video of themselves studying. But waitah minute, getting to see all those bad habits that you're totally unaware of sounds interesting. Then again, the patience required to watch a video of yourself studying while waiting for something interesting to happen (or maybe not even a single occurrance) isn't appetizing. But I, for once, am aware of one myself; scratching my head and then smell my fingers to check if my head stinks. OK SHHHHH.
I thought I fell in love with myself a little after seeing how sexy I looked in the photo above. NAHDISJDASDKODKPASD ~("~) We gotta be a narcissist at times... It's a way to pamper yourself. Bleh.
"Watch out. I have eye at the back of my head."
But in reality, Carrie wasn't aware. At all. At least not until I post it up on FB. HAH!
Your eyeball is actually way tougher than it appears to be.
The freaking sclera took me quite a while to snip it open.
Erected nipple.
That's the posterior part of the eyeball with the cute optic nerve coming out to say Hi.
Vitreous humor
Part of the iris got drained with it and I thought it looked a little amazing.
Have your pick with the desserts. O---
"Yep can cook, so can you" =D
Halfway through the practical, a fellow classmate blurted out something about "food fight", resulting in a loss concentration for a while from laughing.
This fun is short-lived for it is a harbinger of another practical report to be completed. Orz
To end this post on a more positive note, I'm ready to test out my upgraded dismantling skill on prospective dinner 8D.
