Yup. Our will to survive is very strong. Even with the risk of being burnt to death in the building, our will to eat for survival pushes us to stay in the building and....continue eating.
But the second alarm really get on my nerves. It rang at 4.30AM on Thursday morning. 4.30 in the morning! Who the heck does stuff that involves smoke at 4.30 in the morning???!!!
The firemen even had to visit us at this wee hour.
Luckily that is a normal false alarm. I would whack each and everyone of those firemen with an axe if they played some techno music and start stripping.
Besides that, I made my own medicine this week! It's a substance which is a relative of the famous Panadol, but not that popular in Malaysia because Panadol and its other siblings like Acti-Fast and Milidon conquer the market. That's right, give a big round of applause to my newly synthesized aspirin!!
Surprisingly, this thing is pretty easy to make. All you need to do is add salicyclic acid with acetic anhydride in a 100 degree water bath to form acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin). Then just have to filter it, and hey presto, aspirin! So the next time you have a headache, save money by contacting me. I can make this thing in around 2 hours :D
