hmm what should i write today? in the midst of "damn pharmacology!" i think i should crap a bit on the exclamation mark ! there. just want it to end asap because i don't "feel" the paper anymore. hmmm i just don't see the relevance of studying how synthetic drugs work in human... well unless if i'm a consumer of the drugs which is "choi" i hope i won't be one of them or if i'm a medical doctor or pharmacist but nope no way, other than that i will not use the "memorize" knowledge in the future. well, to put it crudely, it's actually for the damn grades i'm studying for, which i think is also pointless because i always end up demoralized more than before. anyway those with weaker memory will loose out. which i personally think is unfair. well, isn't life inherently unfair at the beginning?

i guess the the only subject that i can ACTUALLY applied into my lab work is microbiology, biotechnology, experimental mol biology and immunology. damn. now i'm in the wrong concentration..i think. sigh. but morrie said once a road has been taken, don't look back, just do your best because you'll find something good out of it. i hope you are right, morrie.

oh..talking about biotech, i'm very excited that the biotechnology firm i ahem ahem secretly admired for the past 5 years since i saw its cover on Fortune mag will actually set up a processing plant here in singapore..! ah, actually not that secret la, my sis knows about this long long time ago. wow. it's like a dream (my dream) company to work for..well maybe at its HQ in San Frans Bay area, i don't know about singapore because it's just a human recombinant protein processing plant. anyways, i will still give it a try in future!!! how should i explain? well to exaggerate, without its presence i think there will be millions of people with cancer won't be able to see their kids graduate from high school, thousands of children won't live past their adolescent life, even more elderly would not be able to dance to their favorite music and my paternal grandfather would not had passed away 30 years ago because of diabetes. theirs and the world first synthetic human insulin only came out in 1982, too late huh. a lot people thought it was from Eli Lilly, yeah they manufactured it but it was GENENTECH who created and licensed it to Lilly. and also many other pharma firms.

the company is also committed to make their medicines (mostly humanised recombinant protein which is DAMN expensive to develop) available to those who cannot afford it, to put in sum is about US$1billion in free medicine to uninsured patients. wow. the so called big pharma should learnt more from the biotech firm. =) btw, the firm's founder Boyer and Swanson (and Cohen, not the founder) suddenly came up with the idea that plasmid of e.coli can be manipulated and by inserting a human gene into it, you can produce therapeutically efficient protein "drug" in humans. now, that's what i called freaking genius!! really, i admired these people. =)

whoa i think i typed too much. shall stop. ah maybe i'm just too bored.....
