Finished!! finished!!! yeah~~~ finished phil test... which is the last one for few weeks ^__________^ yeah~~~ ok... happy, coz well, i think i did well. ^^ the translation part (the part i hated the most) was relaly easy, so yeah~~ ^_________^
Oh~~ yeah~~ it's a small small world. Ok... Kenny (the guy in my phil class), his dad was the conductor of the formosa string orchestra (or something along that line) and he was a violinist in it too. ANd Willam, Dan and Bruce were also in the orchestra... i mean... that is one random person that linked up to 2 different groups of my friends.... RANDOM!!! oh yeah~~ and we just both found out today that we came from Taiwan -_____- i thought he was from hong kong (since that's where cleon is from) until today when cleon start talking in cantonese, and he had a blank face (like me) lol.....
Anyway, when i was reading Jeff's blog today, somethign hit me..... what am i doing with my life??? ok.... let's look at everyone else's, Len is going to be a lawyer to defend the innocent, Tina is going to be a pharmacist to save ppl's lives, Jeff is going to be a doctor to again save lives, Mike is currently doing reserach on diabetes, again saving lives.... and what am i goign to do... with food???? @___@
Ok.... 2 areas food scientist can go into.... production and quality control
production - ok... i recently read a book called 'fatland' and well, food scientists in the 70s and 80s invented a high sucrose sugar from corn (somethign along that line) which was cheaper than can sugar and can increase shelf life. and what did they find out 5 years later? that not only that was high i calories, sucrose also can skip steps in metabolic pathway and is bad for ur liver. (think i mite have mentioned this in earlier entries) Anyway, the point is... i woudl love to go to the production line, i think it'll be a good challenge for me (since well, creativity isn't excatly my forte) and it seems more fun..... but i dotn' wnat to do something that my endanger many ppl's health.
Right.. so quality control. that means spending entire life in labs... which isn't too bad...... but then apparently nz food quality control just announced that it's ok to have 1 rat in a packet of potato chips -_________-
Maybe that's y dad keep telling me to do med or biomed. Well, to be honest, i never really looked at med as a choice, coz i know i am not hard out enough to get the grades i needed. And really, i do not want to spend 6 years in uni. (no offence to all you med ppl) and well... biomed... i considered it before, but decided that 1) to get a decent job in the field, you need to have post grads etc, and again, dotn' want to spend too much time in uni 2) the biomed industry in nz is quite small, and i dotn' really want to go overseas
still, it would be nice to save ppll's lives while working eh~~ but then again, i think it'll be scary...... Looking at our family history, i'll likely die of cancer, and i dont' want to know about it until i have to..... *shrug*
ok i am just typing to get out of doing my prelab... it's 10:09, i think i shoudl start prelabing now ^^
