Re-search...fatty fatty pom pom

gentlemen......FRS is OVER!!!!! *dances in joy*

omg the symposium room was soo smoky today......lots of smoke ......smoke here smoke there...

"smoke grenade......smoke out!"

whew. i was actually abit stressed out as i was the group leader....and had initial apprehensions over whether we could actually pull something credible out of our collective hats.

thank God that the group i led is really cool...cos everyone was willing to take my arrows (lets not mince words) and my nonsense.....and it was a challenge to bring the discussions back to focus at times....special thanks to kumaran, who had so many great ideas, and joachim, who even though came the LATEST for ALL our meetings....thankfully had an sbo full of smoke grenades...which he liberally threw around the room. we actually took waay more than the stipulated 10 mins per presentation....but what can i say...time constraints shud never get in the way of good research hahaha. i heard horror stories of other groups who were super bo chup, and left everything to just one or two pple to pia....thank goodness this didnt happen in my group....thank you!!!

on a more serious note...our research topic was really quite interesting. did u know for example, that apart from the normal causes of obesity being lifestyle, food intake, genes etc etc....there is actually a flu like virus that inhibits degradation/usage of fat cells...leading to obesity? i didnt know tt too. adenovirus-36 people...the virus u shud look out for. fat people all over the world rejoice! its not really your fault that u r obese! rather, it could just be ad-36 acting up in you....and that is one of the major benefits of this research... to reallocate blame from the individual to the disease....to show the world that Obesity is a Clinical Problem that Can Be Solved....to give hope to millions of laterally generous people the world over! bleargh.

ok...on an unrelated note....just to show i like being artSY fartSY, ill include a short poem that is really nice....pity i didnt compose this though...

"Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like no one is listening,
Live like its Heaven on Earth"

wunnerful innit.
joshua.
