I was reading a manga named “Team Medical Dragon“. The english translation is a joke. I am lucky to be able to read chinese, as japanese mangas are better translated in chinese.

As you can see from the picture, “Google” was used by this apprentice. There was a doctor from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to compete in the professor election in this Japanese Hospital.

I heard that the storyline of this manga was used for one Japanese TV series.

When I was travelling around Melaka, I saw this salt & pepper shaker set at Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall.

I’m not sure if that’s the chemical formula for pepper, but I’m sure that the chemical formula for salt is NaCl (sodium chloride). They cost RM 45.90 (~USD 13), and I think they are really expensive.

I read this dialogue between 3 years old Sarah and her father, who is also a chemistry professor.

I remembered I always like to ask why just for the sack of why when I was young.  It’s curiousity.  Luckily my parents ain’t any chemistry dude.
