The past 5 days...

As said earlier, I was at AACR conference from Monday to Wednesday. Long draggy hours listening to seemingly endless seminars... But well, I did gain some knowledge from the whole thing.. Moreover, it's in Suntec!!! hehe.. near my place.. at least, better than Buona Vista ;p

Apart from boring talks by some really monotonal speechers, talks and posters on the prevention of cancer did interest me. Traditional medicine and herbs were part of those preventive measures. Imagine eating and get prevention from cancer.. Woohoo.. cold, isnt it?

Some of the more interesting ones are:
  • Rosemary prevents colorectal cancer
  • Lactobacillus sp (yakult and friends) prevents bladder cancer
  • some TCM aids in cancer prevention
  • Human Urine (oO??) has some anti-cancer properties (to be confirmed..)
Work apart, yesterday was Deepavali, which meant HOLIDAY.. hehe.. Met up with Ruru, Karkar, Christi and Monkey and watched the R21 version of Lust Caution. Thumbs up for LeeAng. 157mins, and yet I dont feel that the show is draggy. Cant reveal much in case of spoilers. All I can say: Tony Leung really daring. Sex scenes are really very RA...

Back to work. SupHen is rushing me for my paper again. Ciaoz
