not fun today..
studied the entire day...10-8. Well..not really hardcore study..but put in 50%. Too tired..and i feel feverish. Past 2 days liao...peishan, jm and dQ mentioned the heatiness feeling too. Toopid weather..anyway..usual ppl came today, short of peishan. Talk with Dr Goh was refreshing..cleared alot of doubts. Wat else? Oh ya..borrowed this wonderful bk..ok la..8.6 out of 10. Its from cold spring habour labs (i juz realised watson was director of cold spring harbour labs..for some time)..and its publised in 2003. The smell of it..haha

1 nice thing i learned from that bk: 1 centiMorgon is the distance 2 markers/genes are apart such that the frequency that they will cross during meiosis is 1%. Tt's why its not accurate. Anyway..some org (i forgot who) estimated it to be 1.22 million bp. Genetic mapping gets clearer this way. Cant figure out VNTRs though.

And the toopid guy who headed Celera. He's part of the TIGR team..den he quited to start Celera when his proposal of shotgun sequencing did not get accepted. The irritating part is that the bk mentioned that the pool of DNA that Celera sequenced? Majority was his own DNA. Speechless....

kkz..outz~ (im suddenly disgusted by these scientists..=x) And oh ya..i don think SARS thing is coming out.

a walk down life's long and endless road. here, i pen/type occasional posts...giving a record to the exciting, sad, joyful, memorable, heart-wrenching, scary, tearful, happy, surprising and mostly undescribable moments and events that happens. Young mind; thirsty soul; manipulatable thinking. Born in Singapore, that makes me singaporean. Looking back, I recall those academic years, filled with laughter, innocence, care, a shine unmatched, a smile untainted and a sleep undisturbed. Right now, i firmly believe that without any scars in life, one can never grow. Look at all the noble people around, those you think are good people. Chances are, when you ask them for a story, they will have one to say. The one that changed them. I take life slowly, trying in vain to squeeze what little innocence that is left in me. For I know, that after my transition into adulthood, i'll miss them. Even now, reality beckons with a surprisingly tempting hand. Fight hard I will, not to embrace that side. Someone is out there, and there, i may probably be salvaged. One last thing, im against all religion, but i wholeheartedly salute worshippers. Cheers.
