and so it has begun...

how should I start?? Ever since school, it has always been this part that annoys the most (apart from being forced to write in an exam when you are not even keen of it at that very moment...). Nonetheless, as a biologist would might say, every good transcription begins with the RNA-polymerase being in the right spot.
Oh yeah... polymerases, DNAs,RNAs, Proteins, Microtubules, Mendelian Genetics.. They're back.. I have been spending the whole last week listening (again!) to lectures on these minions. It has been 6-7 years back since I last heard of these guys.. I imagined Prof Farouk (for those who knows..) would have been bursting to tears laughing on me for having to hear this again... Nonetheless, the more you hear, the more you gain! The talks were coming from people who either discovered them or at least mingled with discovery. Even though every session was brief, (imagine covering the whole Cell book in one week... no wonder they call it 'crash' course!) but the details was so freaking impressive! and the deeper the details went, the more critical the facts became.. Tiring and torturing, yes, but it was mind-boggling..
It wasn't as torturing, though, as the first week I came into class. Learning 3 programming languages concurrently in one week. From the simple Hello World, we shifted through the week to writing codes for Bioinformatics data processing. End Output>>>

If (Tomorrow == Saturday)
{
print 'Brain is Crashing!!¥n';
print 'I am definitely sleeping for the whole day';
}

But I guess this is what I have invested myself into. Moving on..

Back in Business??

Holla!

Back to scribbles and scratches!! Yeay!
Out of job and back into student life...Simply that. What other reasons are there for a lazy lame old me to be back into this dusty old page and articulate nonsense of my own creation. Perhaps the notion of being a student implies on me the sense of having a wider time span to spend. Nuts!
This past few weeks were just bizarre !!(how do you freaking spell this word?)..
Starting with the visa, (dude, if u're planning to study or work in the UK and in need of a visa, one month ahead is merely not enough.. I'd reckon 3 months in prior..) then there was the financing issue, accommodation, study leave problems (which I kinda not understand what the issue is..) etc etc... and while I am still stranded in Malaysia, my classes have been running for two weeks..Brilliant! Had to put 'Catching-up' on my to-do list.
But against all odds, when hopes are lost.. suddenly the visa was approved..
And so here I am! In the Land of Queens and Quids.. Strolling along the paths of scholars and wisemen, the adventure for wisdom and knowledge has set sail once more... The game is on!

So am I really back into business here? Guess, I'll just have to wait and see.
