THE VIRAL FACTOR

One film i'm looking forward to! I wonder how jay will be able to perform with such a strong actor in the show though. Ahaha i very bad. Jay will probably improve lots, as always.

I tried to stay up yesterday to wait for the election results, but I cldn't fight off the sleep monster :( It was really cool to know that so many people overseas were also glued to the comp, anxiously waiting for the results. Well now that the results are out, i feel really sad that mr george yeo had to go, and he was such a gentleman when he congratulated WP on their win! On the other hand, I'm also happy that WP won a GRC, and i hope that they will put their words into action. Or at least try to, given that PAP is still in power.

OMG vampire diaries.

I know this isn't the best time to be watching tv, but i couldn't resist watching this episode, especially when I found the live streaming channel just when it started airing. Good thing it's only an  hour a week.

Ah I'm so overwhelmed by what happened in this episode. Two of elena's closest relatives died, one her guardian, one her biological father. And both died trying to save her - the exact opposite of what she thought she was gonna die for. And so much for elijah being honourable - i went "OMG THIS CANNOT HAPPEN" when elijah took klaus away when he could just kill him and make the sacrifices all worthwhile. But well if that happened it wouldn't be as exciting anymore. Ah. And now damon might die, well of course the producers of the show won't let him die, so it's gonna be interesting to see how they're gonna make damon survive. And then he will hate himself for staking rose when he didn't have to...the writers are sure making damon suffer a lot more compared to stefan. I still love stefan more though <3 Can't wait for the season finale next week!

OKAY back to reality. Finally i can have a break from all this mugging - going to play badminton with yixin in a while. And yayy i find myself calm enough to start my mugging for today ahaha.

Awesome movie!

Yesterday marked the official start of my very limited mugging time, but i decided to go play anyway. In the morning I had to attend a conference about natural products and medicine, where most of the content sounded like alien language to me. There was a speaker who was very cute, he kept questioning if the theory of an ancient chinese doctor was correct, given that there were no scientific tests at that time to confirm the theory. So he did various experiments and found out that indeed, only at that particular drug ratio will the effects be most pronounced. I think it's really amazing! Then i went to meet yixin and we made our way to the sales events at suntec. Didn't buy anything though :( We walked around aimlessly until yixin suggested we go watch SOURCE CODE <3 Kept me at the edge of my seat from the start till end! Actually the idea of a parallel universe has been explored a lot already, I remember reading about it in Flashforward and even in Jay's SECRET :) It was still awesome-ly cool to watch how the movie made use of this concept. Highly recommended to watch! A good ending really makes a movie enjoyable!

I dun wanna study :)

Hello i am here to blog because i am extremely reluctant to look at my immuno notes on B cells. Haha. Right now I'm having a sore throat and have been blowing into tissues the whole day 'cause I ate a lot of biscuits yesterday. I found out that having lots of chocolate before my period came helps a lot with the cramps, I barely felt anything! And so I was gloating over the fact I didn't become 'heaty' despite having such unhealthy food. This must be my retribution :( Sorry body, shall not torture you with the unhealthy snacks anymore.

I had internship at tong chai in the morning today. Was in one of the acupuncture rooms. This time we didn't have to poke ourselves phew! It was the first time i saw a case of rheumatoid arthritis. I talked to her and ask her how did it come about. She said nobody could find out how it happened, and described how the joints got progressively more inflammed throughout the years and now the hands and feet are deformed already. There were a lot of patients complaining of pain in knee joints, guess its a pretty common problem amongst old people. Right now there's no effective treatment for arthritis, i really hope someone discovers it soon so people suffering from it can lead a better life!

I'm gonna go to that sale in expo later, hopefully i can find pretty shoes and stuff to buy! :)

Finally went to the XLB buffet! :)

Finally recess week has arrived and i only have 4 days left to prepare myself for my tcm finals. Argh. I shall not start complaining about it. I want to talk about my internship at tong chai! I've only been there twice, and i've learnt so much already. It is very different from the stuff we learn in books - real patients have complications like hypertension, diabetes, mental illness, tumours that the doctor has to take care of in addition to the main illness that the patient is suffering from. Very often the patients turn to tcm only when western medicine cannot help much. So we get to see medical reports, x-rays, western medicine etc and it's amazing to see how much the doctor knows about them. I also got to experience acupuncture for the first time in my life - not done by the doctor, but by my fellow classmate! haha. how scary is that! And its really fascinating that i feel the numbness only when the needle hits the acupoint and no where else! I'm still nursing a blue-black from that session, seems like a vessel was hit :(

Now i'm very inspired to study hard and be a good doctor like my lecturers and the doctors! I shall mug now!

I haven't updated for so long, it's alr past CNY! haha. Been really busy with my TCM module as well as the additional dance practices for the item we're doing at NUS concert. We had our mid-terms alr, which turned out to be horrendous, because there were so many names of formulae that are so similar but serve different functions and I couldn't recall which was which exactly. Not that I didn't expect it so be so, the exam was just too rushed. Need to study harder, as always.

I started my first internship last week, it was kinda like a pre-course before going to tong chai next week. It was a lot of fun! We did role-playing so we can learn how to ask questions and write a nice report. It was very funny when the 'patient' was played by a guy and we had to ask about 'her' discharge ahaha. Colour and smell and texture, very detailed!

Cute little hamster at yixin's house. They have like, over 60 hamsters. More now i think. They reproduce indiscriminately.

Life moves forward so fast, i'm glad there's still something that hasn't changed. Yixin still comes to accompany me after his work every alternate day, and  the main reason why i'm happy is...he buys GONG CHA back for me! Ahaha! I'm a happy girl~

dance camp

Very quick update before i chiong off to school! Just back from a 2 days dance camp. It was tiring, i was hungry most of the time, my muscles ached like never before, but it was imba-ly inspiring. I was very touched by how all the instructors gave us sincere advices on how to improve ourselves to bring the entire dance scene in singapore to a higher level. Very inspired by both our seniors and juniors alike, by how the seniors are still at the guan yin niang niang level as always, and the juniors for not giving up even when the seniors left the dance.

Okay here's a song we did at the camp that i found very depressing. HAHA okay its meant to be an emo piece la. Do listen!
