    glancing through the CNA website, i couldn't help but be slightly horrified by this article:

    NEW HAVEN: For seafood lovers, there is nothing that compares to the taste of fresh lobster. The problem is that not everybody has access to fresh lobster all year round.
    But thanks to a new technology, US researchers can take a live lobster, freeze it and then bring it back to life. The secret lies in a mixture called "blue goo" which is made up of 77% calcium chloride, grape seed oil, and de-ionized water. It is a recipe from Trufresh. The fluke discovery was made after Trufresh found that one in 20 of the healthiest lobster came back to life. That allows lobster to stay fresh after being frozen for shipping purposes. And that gives customers better tasting seafood. - CNA

    omg. ok maybe the lobsters aren't really dead, maybe they're just able to lower their metabolic rate or sth in order to survive at subzero temps.. but still, the thought that people are willing to go to such lengths to have "better tasting seafood" is mind-boggling.

    it's close to 5am as i write on this monday morning. nope, didn't wake up early, i've been up since.. you know. part of me knows that i should sleep, that it's common sense, but the other part's suggesting, why not stay up? let's see what happens. if you feel horrible during lessons later so be it, you can always learn from this and make sure you don't do it again. or maybe the day will be all fine and dandy, despite this sleep deficiency. sometimes it may be beneficial to take seemingly stupid risks.

    but back to the other part of this entry:
    was out on fri night with a friend and a couple of his friends.. their average age was abt 26, give or take 1 or 2 years.. et moi? j'ai vingt ans.. sat there that night, feeling both bemused and intrigued. how is it that 6 years can make a person seem so polished, so settled, so worldly-wise and well-travelled? does maturity, for lack of a better word now, somehow increase exponentially when you cease having to wear a school uniform? makes me wonder what i'd be like in a couple of years.. judging by how interesting the past 16 months have been, guess the imminent new decade's gonna be an eye-opener. though there's still a little part of me that's reluctant to go and enjoy all this, cos it does seem like maturity and childish, innocent naivete are mutually exclusive.. and being jaded not a good thing. we'll see =)

    it's an unearthly time and all's quiet in this part of the world. conducive for a reflection of the day? hmm.. maybe just the thought that things are so transient, or so ephemeral if you must. would it be better to have a flame that flashes so brilliantly that it sears the mind, but dies soon after? to all who know me and are reading this, thanks for being in my life at some point or another. i might never have experienced a particular pain if i didn't know you, but i might not have experienced a particular joy either. alrighty my thoughts are waning with my glycogen levels, and tmr's going to be another long day. live long and prosper.

    man.. talk abt a bad start to the week. incapacitated the whole day yest, and still had to walk ard sch for abt an hour running errands.. heard of flash floods? yeah, i had flash flu. but anyway. finally started on work today, but got swamped by complex biological cycles and 11-syllable molecules. alrighty off to attempt to label out the entire blueprint of cycles now, wish me luck.. for the record, it's glycosylphosphatidylinositol. otherwise known as GPI bonding, a form of protein acylation. voila, tu sais tout. or maybe not.
