My psychic crystal ball

how nice it'll be if I'm psychic.. or maybe a have a kinda omniscient prescient crystal ball contraption. Really. I was hoping that I can hit the chinese new year toto hongbao draw with the crystal ball, and make off with a cool 10m$$$. And I won't have to work a single day after that!

Other people seem to think that I've got something like that.. I mean as I am describing or explaining stuff, many students who don't understand a single thing simply refuse to voice their doubts, and so I go on and on to serenade the really responsive concrete walls. Talk to me man! let me know if you've got what i'm saying and if i'm too slow, or if you re clueless and I gotta backtrack abit.

....

ugh, I'm better off getting psychic powers to read their minds....

hey wait a minute, I should get psychic powers to transfer my knowledge directly over to any hapless target! just zap, and presto! knows everything that he's suppose to know.. tee hee thats the ticket!

is anybody reading this? sheesh I need a counter to track the number of hits I got.

Lost

I'm so lost with this blog thing.. how'd you put pictures, or frames, or tag boards, or even do a the sign off in each post in a custom way? how'd we not use the template and make our own? My blog is ugly. ugh.

meanwhile I'm off to do more marking. ugh.

wish me luck.

Newbie on the blog

Wow this is my first blog.. hmmm I always thought that blogging was a really weird thing to do, like, why would I wanna broadcast whatever I thought to others? But then again... considering that I'm one of those guilty of being overly verbose.. blogging seems to be a nice way to let off some steam... and then I always enjoyed reading the very interesting blogs that are around, especially from some of my (ex) students. Or those that had really nice pictures.. eh.. heh.

Anyways this place is a nice forum where I can hopefully address the many fascinating bits of chemistry, especially issues where you have questions about. Enjoy your stay here!
