Ashamed

Sometimes you watch a movie that portrays a part of the world that you only read about occasionally in the papers. A part of the world out there that is overwhelmed by insurmountable sufferings that, sometimes, the sufferers no longer feel the pain because they are just thankful to be alive.


And suddenly, you realise how insignificant your problems are and you start to feel utterly ashamed of yourself.


Like now.


But there is hope. And it's up to you.

Not Much Going On

It's been a while, I know. Time, or rather the limitation of it, is the root cause of this let-up. Well, better late than never. :) At any rate, there's not much going on apart from studying and the occasional work which are too boring to blog about. Especially the former - namely, physics, bio, chem and o-chem. The last being the subject focus (and bane!) right now. For those who struggled with organic chemistry before, you might agree with me when I say I have no chemistry with carbon chemistry. I mean, look at the simple structure below:




Simple, right? But try naming it: 2-Bromo-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane ?!!! Okie, this is not exactly thee most difficult structure to name but it can get quite confusing when the functional groups kick in (don't worry if you don't understand what I'm talking about. Me either).


In any case, u know why I don't blog about what I study - it'll send you to sleep as it did me. So, how about work ? I've only been to the hospital once so far this year and it's the usual blood splatter, cut-and-sew kinda routine - nothing exciting. Maybe when i get posted to the emergency theatre, I might have a few stories to share ?


Okie, back to the mountains of books in this valley where the high points seem frighteningly far apart. Sigh.

Say No To Fur

My heart broke into a thousand pieces when I saw this video link. Create more awareness by sharing the following clip with your friends. Please.

If you have always been a fan of fur, reconsider the famous catchphrase: " "When the buying stops, the killing can too."


It's never too late to stop buying fur.
