Top floor of the science library and aging

Check this out. This is the top floor of the Science Library and I really like this place. This is the place you would like to be in if you want to do some serious studying and reading up and just spending some time with yourself, away from the crowd.
It's a really nice place with tables like the ones you see in this picture (left). And there are other kinds of tables good for discussion (without partition) and there are those that can only sit one person.
And it's a good place for blogging! (Like what I am doing now.) oh well, I just wanted to do have some fun first before getting down on the real stuff.
well, I am not the only one in this place, just in case you might have thought so from the picture. There are some people seated here and there, but on the overall, it's just peaceful and I think I am making too much noise typing on the keyboard and shaking my legs (makes the chair noisy). And I could have some sinus problem now and then, so I think I am pretty much a noise pollution. Oh man, got to keep it down!
Anyway, that's the top floor of the science library for you people out there!
Got to go back to work!
(think about this: from what I know about theory of relativity (I might be wrong!), if someone moves faster, he will age slower than the person who moves slower. hmmmm...people say I look older than my age. Maybe I have been moving slower????)
Take care!

Parental ditype, non-parental ditype, tetratype........

oh man, that's after two hours plus of molecular genetics lecture. And you can see a few students consulting the lecturer on the stuff we were through just now.
It was really heavy. I mean, I just followed the lecture as it went and I just managed to catch short takes of it here and there. You know, I manage to go from here and there and then I say, 'ok, I go that and that. But wait a minute...how does that come to here?' You know, something like that. wow.....it was quite terrible. But I tell myself I got to go back and do some intensive reading....you know, check it out and stuff! ya, I mean, it's quite difficult to catch everything right here and now. Just got to absorb as much as possible and go read up on my own. I guess that's how things go around here....I hope.
It's break now and then tutorial (oh man!)! And that's all, folks!

Laptops

Laptops....many are using them now. I don't know about other places, but there are quite a number of people using them in NUS. I mean, it's so convenient, you can log onto the internet, donwload your work from your lecturers, chat online, do some notes, blog (like what I am doing now) and many other stuff. Take a look at the mobility man. It's so cool. But that's provided you have a wireless connection to play with. Or else, I think you are just stuck with laptop minus (-) internet connection ---> basic windows stuff. well, you still can type out some notes and stuff like that, but you will probably end up playing solitaire. hey, did I mentioned that I think solitaire is fun? I like playing it! :) ok, it's not THAT bad. It's still a card game.

ok! laptops....I wonder...do people still put their laptops on their laps? It's a good thing they don't. I mean, won't the heat and stuff be bad for your reproductive organs or something? Shouldn't people stop using laptops on their laps? Maybe that's why people are giving birth to so few babies! ahhhh!!

ok, maybe here at NUS, we have enough tables and benches, so probably I don't see so many people using laptops on their laps. hmmm...maybe that's why they call them notebooks now?

Notebooks....so we use them to take down notes. It's like an electronic notebook, right? I wonder, what about music notes? Do we use notebooks to take down music notes? They are all notes, right???? oh man......

Shouldn't we just call them Mobile Personal Computers? Short-form - MPC. In fact, in China, I heard from some of my brothers and sisters in Christ, they call computers the equivalent of what we call calculators. yeah, you got it. It's something like 计算机. ok, I am not exactly a mandarin expert, so mandarin experts out there who are reading this, if there are any mistakes, please pardon me.

I think I can see some light in this term, since computer operations are something like calculations, maybe that's why they call it 'calculators'.

yeah, so why not call them 'mo-cal' for 'mobile calculators'? oh man...I don't know. 'What's in a name?' ok, that's true. It does not really matter what we call them, as long as it works the way it was intended to be.

haha...oh man, I am so lame. I am reading up on my molecular genetics stuff and this thought sort of came to my mind and voi la!

ok, this is the first of the you-can-simply-ignore-this (YCSIT) article. Stay tuned for more in the days to come.

Back to molecular genetics, mitosis and meiosis! See you!
