June update

It's been more than a month since I last posted something...time really flies man!!

Oh well I'm always busy...hehe...been catching up with sooooo many ppl...

So wat r the "interesting" things I have noticed ard me recently....

Quite a number of weddings among my frens!! to be exact...it's 3 within a period of abt 30 days...well..tat's pretty much wat happens to ppl of my age i guess...haha...soon I'll be attending weddings with my fren's bringing their children along!! That's gg to be scary!!

Quite a number of frens back from overseas...like sylvia back from canada and headed to australia next, oyster's pearl back from the hague, my cousin is back in Penang from Russia, eng hui back from sweden for hols, huiwen back from KL for hols...

Quite a number of frens has gone overseas too..haha..like my housemate is in Japan for hols, my dad is in shenzhen/HK for work, my mum is in S'pore to visit a fren..haha..audrey gg to Australia to study, many fellow postgrad, lecturers are in shanghai for a conference, some of the nus tennis players are in HK for a competition...sighz..i never train so cannot go :(

Hmm...and quite a number of ppl I know are not well or hospitalized...such as cancer, cyst, some growth, stroke, immobility due to nerve problems...and the list goes on...half of them happening to ppl who r just abt 30 years old...such as the cyst, stroke and benigh growth!! sounds so scary...and extremely expensive!! that's y better take care of ur body when u have a choice while u r young and healthy!! dun wait til something happens man...u've no choice then...and u'll still be suffering!!
So how to take care of ur body...hmm..that'll take another whole post to cover it comprehensively man :P

Ok..better get back to my work now...
Hmm..talking abt work...I just created a minor explosion in the lab yesterday...which I believe no one in the lab knew abt...but got me rather "stoned" that whole day...oops
Well now I learn...LiAlH4 shld be added in small portion for very good reasons...it's not to be added in a whole chunk...it'll go *poof* and u'll see fire!!

Tom I'll be attempting that reaction again...since the reaction did not go into completion when I carried it out yesterday...got a whole load of un-reduced acid :P
At least some reactions are working now...after months of dead ends working on some of the amines and amides...so damn demoralizing...
The good thing abt all these failures is...things can't get any worse...haha...yippee!!!
