Since I started school again (almost 1 year now) I have come across lots and lots of things that I have managed to avoid. But, not anymore. So many fundamental things lacking that I vow to learn as much as I can and hope to take it back with me. Fundamentals such as the 'mol' and 'mole' concept. Hahaha.. I always blamed it on the C5 I got for my SPM Chemistry, I felt like such a failure then, it has taken a toll since. My matrix Chemistry was better I guess, else why JKKP accepted me, right? Well, since chemistry = labs, I was never any good in labs as well, which kinds of explain why I am what I am today.

Anyways, the point being is that I have 'successfully' escaped things that I know and knew I should have not. And it is why I have searched high and low a couple of days doing nothing but to search for the 'simple' answers of 'mol' and 'mole', its similarity and differences. Now I think I can answer confidently. Its funny how it has come to that since I never really liked using those units, I was caught off guard in the weekly meeting (sort off). Having an engineering background (as to other engineers I suppose) it would always be weight basis as oppose to mol basis (weight in kg you can relate to), so when presenting my models is weight basis (of course), I did not (slipped my mind) present the units, which I have now come to term to its importance. So, I did defend the models but it made me realize how important it is and there is no escaping! Thank God I could rationalize, but what if..

Anyways, enough of the academia things, but if anyone interested I could share.. Not!! (as in it will be boring)
