major histocompatibility complex

Preferences for mates that possess genes dissimilar to one's own at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a polymorphic group of loci associated with the immune system, have been found in mice, birds, fish, and humans.

These preferences may help individuals choose genetically compatible mates and may adaptively function to prevent inbreeding or to increase heterozygosity and thereby immunocompetence of offspring. MHC-dissimilar mate preferences may influence the psychology of sexual attraction.

i have not suddenly transformed into a science-tish person.

sometimes when you find you can't be in love with this person no matter how close or how much time you spend time together might probably because of similiar MHC.

sometimes, despite being in a relationship for years, yet ending up ended the relationship because you both come to realise that there is no 'love' or 'attraction' between both of you EVENTUALLY after so many years.

sometimes, when your partner cheats on you, it is because you have similiar MHC that makes him/her more attracted to the other people who have dissimiliar MHC from them.

yes, MHC.

it is actually quite disturbing for me to realise this MHC thing and the fact of WHY i bothered to google and research more after knowing a little of this MHC thing.

curiosity kills the cat.

and in almost a month ago,

this was all gorgeous and pretty.

and after almost a month,


it has since become this.

i had it sprayed with stella mccartney's and it smelt all good.. for a while.

i know some people are really good in making pressed flower but i don't know how to. and the flower has since wilted to this state, i wonder will it still be ok to make it into pressed flowers.

but the good thing, it didn't smell awful even after it wilted. and i hope it wouldn't 'rot' or turn into atrocious state more than this because i wanna keep this bouquet of urm, wilted flowers as long as it can last.

this bouquet of flower is so full of meaning and i just wouldn't bare to see it out of my presence ever since the day it 'stayed' in my room.

met up with most of the breakfast gang last thursday for steamboat dinner.

though it wasn't as fun as we used to be in school, (which most of them feels that its because of the sitting arrangement and how the table was placed and all which i think it would be so so so much better with a round table yea) it was really good to see them again after so long.

hopefully next week's gathering over to ktv session will be confirmed.

-------------------------


this piece of 'art' has been with me since sec 1 which oil farm drew during one of our gb CE education and i found it really cute and kept it till now.

its on my pin board and everytime when i look at this, it reminds me of the good old gb days. even oil farm had since forgotten about this thing that she've drawn.

just loved it.

mum dug out these sets of 'assorted' uniforms from the wardrobe and wanted me to get rid of them since 1) i no longer wear them, 2) occupying unnecessary spaces, 3) what has other schools' uniforms gotta do with me?

i am so not going to get rid of them. never.

and yesterday's loots from batam,


i just had to get this checkered blouse


and this is for us. yes, i know you've seen through my 'plans' on getting the same colour. although in actual fact, its a little different shade from the other.

i hope he'll like it.

------------------------

and thanks to oil farm, i have a temp work tomorrow.

so glad about this because the new place have yet to complete its renovation and supposingly, i will not be able to work this week but thank God, after worrying about the $$$$ issues, i have a temp job starting from tomorrow for a day or two.

don't know how many days but it beats than without a job for the entire week.

how am i going to repay the bff for constantly getting me part time jobs.

and im excited about her stayover this week and i certainly hope it will happen since i've got a temp job, RMB???

im excited abt tmr though i don't know what am i suppose to do la.

----------------------

this is the japanese style suite at one of batam's resort that i am totally in love with.



the entrance of the suite


the 2nd living room that connects to the living room at the entrance and the room



the entrance from 2nd living room to bed room


who cares its not lcd tvs when they have this,

outdoor jacuzzi bathtub.

fuck, i'm totally in love with this suite.



bloody overrated medicore a&w. but i will have their waffles with butter and root beer FLOAT on the next trip. certainly will.

------------------------

and i am finally getting my external HDD tmr. gotta transfer all the stuffs into there and then reformat the com. i am so reluctant to reformat because minitab and all the bla bla software will then be gone since they don't allow backups and all.

though wei can help do the reformatting job, the softwares like microsoft 2007 and all still must be obtained through rp's it helpdesk and all.

STILL, must go down school to get it done if i really want it. bla!


it will slowly be adapted.
afterall, it has been so long since,
and i am almost doing it quite well.
its just time.
time is all it takes.
