Laughter the best medicine

I'm officially geeky!

2011-10-03T16:02:00.000-07:00

I've had rotated front tooth for ages. I've tried various methods..such as..manually rotating it with my fingers, went for the groupon deal for the invisible braces (which it was so badly rotated that I'm not eligible!) Anyway, on 03/10/11, the wait has finally ended. I got my fixed metallic braces. As always, I was quite anxious about the visit to the dentist. I brushed and flossed my teeth much more often and diligently than usual.

My dentist is awesome. He's so funny..This morning, he put an instrument which he called 'torture devices' to open up my mouth and started chatting to me about the funny/embarrassing stories about consultants getting drunk..and it was so difficult to laugh with my cheek retracted. Anyway, the visit was not at all unpleasant. After the braces were fixed, he asked me what colour of elastics I would like. I was so excited. I didn't know that an adult would have the luxury to choose the colours they would like. Greedy as I am, I said RAINBOW! So now I have yellow, red, green, blue elastics over my braces. I am so totally not pulling it off...My kind dentist also gave me a 'welcome pack' which consist of a tiny toothbrush, mouthwash, wax and instructions to taking care of braces. Free stuff's always the best!

He also gave clear instructions and stuffs to expect. For example, the fact that I would experience pain ranging from the scale of 1 out of 10 up to 9 within 8 hours after treatment. And paracetamol would be the best to deal with such pain. Even went through the trouble of explaining why we would have pain..all I heard were keys words like phospolipid, prostaglandin..bla bla bla. Then osteoclast, osteoblast, fibres..bla bla bla.

I totally feel like a metallic dinasour *ROAR*

I hear stories about people having braces losing weight due to the pain. I don't foresee myself losing any weight. I felt SUPER hungry after and couldn't stop eating the entire day. What pain? I'm not entirely sure if I'm feeling is considered pain. It's just discomfort. Literally like wearing a hat. I know it's there but it's not causing me too much trouble. It's probably a matter of easing into something new. Like wearing a new jewellery.

I wonder if it's the same for others, but I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror and giving myself huge smiles..and getting slightly freaked out everytime! Can't wait to freak my friends out!!!

HIV test

2011-05-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

Just a couple of weeks ago, I got a letter from occupational health to go for HIV and Hep C blood tests. Mind you, I'm not in the high-risk group, it's for my job application. Nonetheless, I was quite excited about it.

The test was done in Victoria Infirmary about 30-40minutes bus ride away. I took the effort to ask for the day off and went early for the test thinking that it will probably take at least half a day for it to be done. I was expecting a proper HIV pre-test discussion bout confidentiality, HIV and how it is transmitted, the treatment options if I happened to be positive, the 3-month window period..blablabla. Nope..nada..nothing at all..

Went in, 'forced' to sign a consent paper, "SHARP SCATCH", bled, bye!
All the crap the medical school told us bout giving pre-test counseling..I feel so cheated!
I want my pre-test counseling!!!!

Btw, the "SHARP SCATCH" was bloody sharp! I was trying real hard not to cry. Am now more aware of how painful and traumatizing it is to be bled. Empathy! lol

I love my mummy!

2011-05-25T15:02:00.000-07:00

I screwed up a lot when I was growing up.
Even now, in my mid-twenties..I still screw up every now and then.

I made a mistake of forgetting to book my flight tickets from KL to Sibu. So I was kinda stucked in KL after arriving from Dubai from Manchester from Glasgow. It was the Gawai period so all the flights were booked to the max! There was no way I was able to book last minute.

I tried every airline companies possible..Tiger Airways, Fireflyz, Malaysia Airlines and Airasia..NOTHING! I even tried different destinations; Kuching/Bintulu/Miri. None as well! I was so desperate!

I was so afraid of telling my parents because I know it was MY mistake that I forgot! My mum reminded me time and time again to book it. Finally when I told her, she didn't even scold me. In fact, she said she knew how busy I was that I forgot to book the ticket. I was kinda expecting some scolding because I knew I deserved them! I am grateful for such a wonderful mum!

Funny thing, all the flights were delayed because of the volcanic ash from Iceland. Was so unsure if I could go back. If I had booked earlier, I won't be able to cancel..and will probably end up booking another flight as well. Although I must admit that I was really stressed the uncertainty of getting a ticket last minute...but I think I might be more stress bout losing money missing the flight and then booking another flight again. There must be some higher power at work here! Thank God! It is better to trust God.

Here I am in the Golden Lounge eating good food and chillaxing waiting for my flight.

Horror films

2011-04-09T03:00:00.000-07:00

REC Movie Trailer

I'm not a fan of horror films. But Victor enticed me to watch this. He kept saying that his balls shrank just watching it. I'm curious!!!!

I've finished downloading it. I'm having palpitations just planning to watch it!
Ok, first things first.
1. Empty bladder + bowel *Don't wanna pee my pants or have an accident during the movie*
2. Watch during daylight *I'm just too chicken to watch it at night*
3. Blanket *Nothing is more scary that watching a movie ALONE in a COLD room*
4. Forewarn your flatmates or anyone of hearing distance "I'm watching a horror film!" *Don't want people rushing in after you scream right?*

With that, I guess I'm ready~
Wish me luck!

Caffeine dependency

2011-02-13T08:52:00.000-08:00

Characteristics of dependency
1. Suffer physical withdrawal effects (check)
2. Increasing tolerance (check)
3. Compulsion or craving to take the substance (check)
4. Continued used of substance despite known harmful effects (check)
5. Time dominated to taking or acquiring the substance (?check..it doesn't take too long to acquire caffeine?)
6. Other aspects of life are neglected at the expense of the substance (not really?)
7. Reinstatement after a period of abstinence (never had a period of abstinence)

I think I have caffeine dependency. Just noticed that I'm suffering from some withdrawal symptoms from not taking caffeine especially in the morning after waking up.
Been downing whatever caffeine I can find..even considered caffeine tablets. I'm not a coffee person, so I had to look for alternatives; tea*lots and lots of them*, apples, chocolates*my favourite source of caffeine*, coca-cola, energy drinks...Suggestions welcomed~

I find green tea works a tiny bit better than jasmine tea. hmm...I might be wrong?
I was once told by Fiona that the tea bags release more caffeine with each use. Meaning, use the same tea bag for a couple of times. Well, she's a really smart pharmacist. However, if the fact is not true, it'll still keep you awake cause you'll keep going to the toilet. win-win!

Been having chocolates for breakfast. Actually, been doing that for years!lol~chocolates and bananas..best combo!awesome~

Been eating lots of walnuts as well. They look like brains..hehe!

Not that it's proven to be brain-food. Placebo effect works well with me~Not forgetting my ginkgo biloba tablets as well.

My life has been taken over by my FINALS! Fingers crossed that it'll really be my final exam..Just wanna pass smoothly~

I deactivated my facebook since Christmas to lessen the distractions (just in case anyone thought that I block them on facebook) , hence the sudden increase in blog posts. Funny how you try to remove one distraction and others keep popping up or are just there to tempt you~

Written papers are this coming Thursday and Friday~
Remember me in your prayers~Please and Thank you!

Telephone operators

2011-02-03T06:55:00.000-08:00

Recently I made a mistake on my flight details for FlyEmirates. But I managed to settle everything by just calling up the main office.

Previously, my flatmate had a VERY stressful period dealing with the phone operators so I wasn't keen on calling up, even insisted of going down to the main office to settle everything face-to-face. But a combination of Glasgow's 'awesome' weather and my lazy bum, I just decided to make a simple call.

I was pleasantly surprised when my phone operator was very nice, polite and efficient. Got everything settled..Easy peasy. Should have asked for his name and maybe put in a good word for him.
*It was so casual that I even shamelessly asked if there's any 'special' discount he can give. LOL*

Speaking of phone operators, I was wondering...maybe 7 out of 10 times, the phone operators are indians?

I've never heard someone with a chinese accent over the other line. Will be cool to hear someone really chinese one day~maybe even continue the conversation in mandarin or cantonese.

But it's true that indians are much faster at learning new languages as compared to other races. Maybe because Hindi, Tamil...are so difficult to begin with.

I love learning different languages. Only 3 phrases are important to master a particular language;
1. Hi! How are you?
2. Thank you
3. *Swearing words*

GP posting

2009-12-03T18:58:00.000-08:00

I've almost forgotten bout my blog. I can't say I have absolutely no spare time, but I'm using them for facebook, Ugly Betty, killing zombies and sleeping.
Anyway it's 'bout time I update my blog!!!

My first posting for Year 4 was GP. I had such a lovely time. I loved it SO much. I'm so grateful that I was posted to Shawlands Surgery.

Shawlands surgery is previously a semi-detached house, so it's situated in a residential area. There are 4 doctors in the surgery; Dr Norman Lindsay, Dr David Leslie, Dr Margo McNicol and Dr Margaret Dodds. There were 2 registras working there as well, Dr Ivan Loh and Dr Takhir Akhtar.

My educational supervisor, Dr Dodds. She looks very young and pretty! Can believe she has 4 children!?! She has a partner-in-crime, Dr McNicol who teached me on alternate days. Didn't get a chance to take a photo with her. They were awesome teachers!

I felt so noob when I first went in. My clinical knowlegde..dare I say..almost zero. After 5 weeks with Shawlands Surgery, at least I know how does a carpopedal spasm looks like! I remembered Dr Leslie asking me bout Tietze syndrome. I honestly had no recollection of ever hearing that before! Dumb dumb~BUT..now I know it's one of the differential diagnosis of non-cardiac cause of chest pain.

The registras : Dr Ivan Loh and Dr Tahir Akhtar(my rumoured crush)
Dr Ivan is our IMU super super super senior graduated from Belfast. Small world!

Christine (Reception Supervisor) and Barbara (Practice Manager)

Christine hated me in the beginning! Haha! One day, I went into the surgery, saw a poster of George Clooney, with a picture of a heart and an arrow accross. In the heart, it was written CC heart GC. So I asked, 'Who's CC?' It was Christine Christie. It was so cute but funny! I knew I should have kept my mouth shut..but I uttered..'George Clooney's gay!' I was forever black-listed. It's true! If it's in the E-news, it's true! hehehe...

Anyway, CC asked me who's my favourite doctor. I couldn't really think of any at that time, so I said 'Dr House'. CC said I had BAD TASTE!!!BAD TASTE!!!=p
Lesson learnt..never mess with CC's paper husband!

Marlynne (Head Receptionist)

Cheeky Anne!
She makes the funniest jokes ever! Hanging the coat in the curry cupboard, putting detergent tablets in the pockets..hoping to get caught in the rain! They were really original!!! No idea how she came up with all these ideas!

Anne (receptionist) and Barbara (practice manager)

Petite Lynsey (receptionist)

Vivacious Eunice (receptionist)
She has the same name as my sister! She's really funny, teaching me the art of seduction! hehe!!! Made me laugh so much! For some reasons, I was rumoured to like Dr Akhtar (picture above). They couldn't stop teasing me 'bout him. If you know the jokes they make..wah..cannot imagine!

Pro Jean (Phlebotomist)
Swift and painless blood drawing

Caring Liz (District nurse)
She such a warm-hearted person. Her patients love her! She cares so much for them!

Sweet Julie (Practice nurse)
She's a malaysian!!!! I was so glad she was there! Taught me lots of stuff! Finally can draw blood with confidence. Too bad she moved to Hall to be her husband. I'm sure the surgery misses her! Met her one time in See Woo Restaurant. Felt like I saw an old friend..was happy the entire day! hehe!

Totally changed my perception of a GP practice. Shawlands Surgery is an awesome clinic! Loved every part of it!!!

Crocrodile hunting

2009-12-03T08:01:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the LATEEEEEEEEEEEEE entry but I've been living like a nomad/caveman for the past few months. I'm currently having peripheral postings in Stirling. I can't believe the hospital banned facebook! SO deprived~!!! To make things worse, I have no internet back home. (Stupid virgin media. Made us wait forever!!!)

Before I came back to Glasgow from Sibu, I passed by KL for some shopping. Met up with JuJu, Keat Seong and Chewn Bin in MidValley's delicious for some brownie. UNFORTUNATELY, when we met, JuJu's slippers snapped! BOTH SIDES!

*tee hee*

What to do?
Walk around bare-footed in Midvalley!

Old slippers into the bin

Being an artist, JuJu had always wanted pink cros. So off we went to Cros. Too bad the pink cros were 50sizes too big! So he had to go for BRIGHT FLASHING RED cros.

JuJu and the RED cros lived happily ever after.

2009-09-27T18:34:00.000-07:00

You know how siblings are...always fighting and trying to annoy each other! It's the same for me and my lil brother.

I'm always laughing at how small his eyes are. The typical, "Can you see me?" joke over and over again! Anyway, this is his revenge~

Giving me small eyes and a huge forehead! *oops, my forehead is really that big*
My lil sis became a victim as well! LOL
Plus, giving himself a BIGGER nose???

Couldn't stop laughing when I saw this in his blog of 2 post! hehehe...

Hiao bo gang

2009-09-17T07:23:00.000-07:00

Back in my high school days, when I used to join Scouts, one girl; Miss Chai Ing decided to start a gang. We called it....HIAO BO GANG! kidding..

I had no idea how it started but we got so used to calling each other HIAO BO..the nickname kinda got stuck even after 5 years. Imagine meeting up then everyone calling each other HIAO BO. Aw...good memories~

Hiao Bo Gang Reunion at Everwin Medan Selera

Sad to say...all of us grew fat! I was lucky, coz I just had swine flu and my weight dropped so much they thought I never change! Woohoo~ Yippe Swine Flu!

Most of them had started working or graduating soon. But when we met up, it's as if we never age and still act like what we were back when we're 17/18! So loud and naughty!

Went singing in Kingwood. Had no idea I have many talented friends. Si-bu nue, chion ko meh suo nue~~~

Miss the good old days in Scout where we try to sneak out then almost getting kicked out..and all the camps, games, stupid cheers, silly seniors, stupid marching, blasting sun, super tanned days~
Totally AWESOME!

It was tremendous joy meeting up with them. Some of the Hiao Bo Gang members are missing including our leader and founder, Chai Ing.

AirAsiaX Review

2009-08-31T23:12:00.000-07:00

This post is specially dedicated to Yam Yau

I don't know where to start. My flight was from Kuala Lumpur to London Stansted. It was suppose to take about 14hours but I think we arrived 1 hour earlier.

The seat was bearable. Sorry, I forgot to try if the seats was able to lean back but I think it should be able to? I'm a nice person~ I don't take other people's space~!hehe! =p

There was lots of leg space. Even with my long and fat legs, there's still room!!! I feel it's better than Fly Emirates' crampy seats. My knees didn't feel particularly sore even after 13 hours of flight but I remember when I sat Fly Emirates, my knees were so close to the front seat and I had cramps after 7hours flight.

I ordered for the Malaysian Meal which was RM25. There were 2 meals served.

1st meal - Chicken Bryani

It's really spicy. I can't describe if it's nice or not because I don't like spicy food. I was gobbling it down real fast so that my mouth doesn't burn! We were given a bottle of mineral water as well. But I believe that for AirAsia, we're allowed to bring bottled water into the plane. I was so dumb, I threw away my bottle before boarding.

2nd meal - Nasi Lemak

It was not too bad. I tried to separate my rice from the sambal, plus tried 'cleaning' the chicken and egg of the sambal before eating it. The nuts and ikan bilis were nice~

I took down the menu for Australia as well, that's for you 'gossip boy'!!! XOXO

I was taking the window seat. I felt quite insecure because I can see the filmsy wing! I don't think it's suppose to flap! There were parts when it's quite turbulent and the wing was so unrigid! Scary scary~ I wonder how old is the plane? Possible of metal fatigue?

There's no TV as well. But you can buy like 7hours worth of battery time for a portable TV for bout RM30. I didn't bother to. I just spent almost all the time sleeping.

Can't think of what else to write. I'm open to questioning~

Borneo Fest

2009-07-19T05:20:00.000-07:00

I'm back home in Sibu!!!!

I came back just in time for the Borneo Fest. For some reason, I'm unable to load any pictures into the computer from my camera. So it's gonna be a photo-less post.

Anyway, like all festivals, there's lots of food involved. My sister was singing in the school choir for the closing ceremony. There were LOTS of people...bla bla bla..it was really crowded bla bla bla...

I went there with my mom. We were walking along the stores as if we're dragged by the crowd. Suddenly I felt someone grabbing my butt. Like literally SQUEEZING my butt!!! TAMADE! I would not stand being molested and not do anything.

My instant response...I GRABBED the hand of the offender before he was able to let go of my butt. Then I looked back...WALAU...it was toddler! A boy...at most 5 years old?

Kids nowadays~

I'm a survivor

2009-07-03T16:38:00.000-07:00

Yep, I had SWINE FLU a couple of weeks ago!

Signs and symptoms for me include;
fever, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, chills, headache, fatigue and body aches.

But I'm well now! Don't run away from me!!! Really!!! Serious~ I've been proclaimed NON-INFECTIVE by health professionals!
*For those who avoided me...Now I know who my true friends are!LOL*

Honestly I had a rough couple of weeks just right before I caught swine flu. With the exams, then the exam results, friendship, finding a new flat, then suddenly being attacked on my health! It was a huge struggle! In those moments, often I ask...'WHY ME?!?' When I look back now, I feel silly for being so pitiful and hateful of life! Must always look at the bigger picture~ There's always a silver lining behind every dark cloud.

FYI, swine flu is not as scary as it seems! I wouldn't think I had swine flu until my nose and throat swap came back positive. I feel guilty bout contributing to the statistics.

Anyway swine flu is overated. It's been said that it might become the 4th commonest cause of flu. Swine flu is generally widely feared because of it's unpredictable nature. It's unstable and might mutate to something more fatal. I'm not exactly sure of what was written but they were afraid that the virus might somehow mutate with other viruses..imagine a combination of avian flu and swine flu. Then there might just be another outbreak similar to SARS.

Swine flu is not FATAL. I'm alive and well..It's only dangerous to the young, elderly or immunocompromised. I have no idea how I got infected.

But at least I know that I'm now immuned to H1N1 virus! yipee~ HA...I can breath freely without a mask on the plane while going back later this week! Then I can laugh at YOU for laughing at me..when you're suffocating wearing the stupid mask! LOL

I celebrated getting better by REVENGE of coz!
Ate lots of PORK!
HA! TAKE THAT you PIGGIES!!!

To the people I ALMOST infected, SO sorry! I didn't know I had swine flu! But I'm pretty sure I took all the necessary precautions. Do no harm~

If you caught swine flu...don't worry, unless you're very young, very old or immunocompromised. Just take lots of fluids and LOTS of rest. Take some paracetamol. Unless you're VERY CURIOUS, try to avoid taking the nose/throat swap. Terrible feeling! GAGGED!
Some more the swap results only came out after I've recovered. So I wasn't given TAMIFLU.

TAKE CARE!!!

LOST

2009-06-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

I feel very lost right now.

After Ugly Betty's season ended, along with my many other korean, hong kong, american...bla bla bla series, I felt totally lost!
Would you be kind enough to introduce me to a new series? NO, I'm NOT interested in Gossip girl, OC, One Tree Hill, Lost or ANY Taiwanese drama.

Anyway, I'm watching movies most of the time now to fill in the gap until I found the perfect drama to follow.
One of the few movies that I absolutely love....
Mr Vampire

I finally found the website to watch all these old hong kong vampire movies!!!

Click here

Totally awesome and hilarious! The sound effects are just so funny!!!

Don't you just love seeing the oriental vampire jumping around trying to suck human's blood???It's funny how they can just freeze when someone sticks some inscribed yellow paper on the head. I remember back in the days doing this to my cousins when I had no strength to fight back. I would write STOP then stick the paper on their forehead with my saliva! Doesn't really work...usually they would get more aggravated and chase me even more fiercely!

I assure you...it's not scary. I'm not one who likes horror movies, but this 'horror' movie is definitely worth watching!

3 minute song

2009-06-19T04:58:00.000-07:00

Just recently I found this contemporary christian singer, Josh Wilson. His songs are just the type I like. His voice reminds me of Kris Allen. There's this particular song I can listen to for like a billion times.

3 minutes song

I tried to write a song
And keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got is a 3 minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors
And if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4
But I've tried and I can't and I won't cause there will always be more

So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right

Britain's Got Talent Live Tour

2009-06-16T03:22:00.000-07:00

It was AWESOME!!!

I'm so in love with the show~

I was sitting WAY behind, so I couldn't see very clearly but it was definitely still WORTH IT~

DJ Talent started the show. He was really shinny!
When I say 'BRITAIN', you say 'TALENT'. Britain's got talent, it is the DJ TALENT!
He had everyone shouting along with him. It was really funny!
My friends were so excited that he was there. He didn't made it into the finals yet made an appearance.

Another semifinalist who was there...
Darth Jackson

His dance was so so..but he had FLAWLESS to be his backup dancers dressed in the white suits!

We were hoping to see the human saxophone. When I say we..I meant the guys, Z and Justin. I thought the human saxophone is like the greatest joke to Scotland. He told Simon, "I think this is what Simon has been looking for. You can't stop the trend!" LOL! But he was not there...

How can this be a talent? Almost everyone can blow their nose to a tune. But he has GUTS!

My favourite act for the night would have to be
SHAUN SMITH

rugby player/singer

When he went on stage..I felt like I was 16 again!

When the host introduced him, he said that he had Biology exams a few days after the BGT show. Asked if any girls out there would want to be his Biology tutor...Woah...I JUMPED FROM MY SEAT AND STARTED WAVING FRANTICALLY SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION!!!wuahahahaha...It was totally impulse!

His voice was so AWESOME! He sang like 3 songs, 2 from his audition and semifinal performance then a new song. I was so totally melted by his voice..I felt he was singing to me alone~

I must admit my love for music is very shallow..mostly depended on the apperance of the person making the music...but I thought Julian Smith the REAL saxophone player was really good.

The sensation was totally different LIVE compared to listening on tele. He deserved to be No.3

Stavros Flatley
This duo is really amazing. I think what they need to do is to maintain fat! Love their great sense of humour.

FLAWLESS
They were really good. In fact, I feel they were not given enough credit. They were awesome. Their technic and dance skills might I say...are better than DIVERSITY. They made good usage of the stage space, the flips and all..they were great! I believe it's just that they lose out in choreography and the music effects.

I didn't love 2 grand. It just happened that the grandpa is a sweet person. I was devasted when they made it into the finals instead of Callum.

Shaheen was adorable. But I thought he was shouting most of the time...And he couldn't maintain the high voice constantly but who could say no to his lovable dimples?

I love AIDAN DAVIS
There's this part when the host asked to see the audience's banners. Then there's this little girl with a banner "I heart Aidan". Then she was asked to go on stage. The host kept the banner. Then after Aidan's performance, the host asked the girl to go on stage again. Said wanna return her banner, then Aidan came out with the banner...the girl RAN while SCREAMING..then hugged MY Aidan Davis. People were cheering..HA! I don't even wanna clap my hands! JEALOUS!!!!

DIVERSITY being the big winner for BGT they perform a couple of times.

I love Perri..the cute guy with huge hair!

There's an act where the 4 of the youngest boys, 2 from diversity including my Perri, Aidan Davis and Shaheen performed together. Shaheen sang while the other 3 were dancing. It was SO SO SO CUTE!!!

Hollie Steel was really really really good. She improved SO much. She was dancing and swinging around the stage while singing. Her voice drowned out the grand daughter from 2 grand when they were performing together. She's just magic!

Not forgetting
SUSAN BOYLE
She's just such an inspiration.
Glasgow cheered SO loudly for her. The uncle sitting next to us was grinning from ear to ear when she went on and he was shouting and screaming for her. I'm like OMG! Imagine my grandpa was there screaming for maybe erm...Faye Wong? It just tickles me!

My friends..meaning the guys, don't really like Susan Boyle. Even before hand, they said they wanted to go there and BOO her. True enough, they did it...I was freaking scared. I looked around, we're the only chinese I see in the entire centre..and EVERYBODY loves Susan Boyle.
Anyhow, she was mesmerizing.

Speedy SCANDAL!

2009-06-02T14:11:00.000-07:00

To be honest, my mood has been the lowest for the past week than it has ever been for as long as I can remember. Anyway, I found true friends who were there when I truly needed them! Thank you thank you!!!

Anyway one of my friends tried to cheer me up by asking me to watch this crazy comedy. I was really LOLing throughout the whole movie!

SPEEDY SCANDAL!

Sounded like some kinda very hamsup show. But I assure you it's not! hehe...

Must watch!

The 3 main character really portray the roles really really well! I love the kid the most! My standing ovation to the kid. He's really talented. Who would guessed that at such a young age, he'll be able to do such a good job at it. I think this kid is like 7-8years old max..and he has such mature acting skills.

Basically the whole story is bout this man in his late 30s who's a well-known DJ. Then suddenly a young girl turned up at his door step with her son claiming she's his daughter who was concieved on his 1st time which was way back in his highschool years. Being a celebrity, he tried to chase away her daugther and grandson away, to avoid any scandals but then she threatened to go to the tabloids..bla bla bla.Anyway..cutting the long story short..they lived happily ever after!

I love the way Wang Suk Hyun(grandson) sleep walk at night! hahahaha...

My fav scene is when the 'grandpa' was playing the card game 'go stop' with the grandson.

The grandson was winning all his money. Then he had to resort to cheating by hiding one of the power cards when the grandson went to the toilet. Then, he had to distract the grandson from seeing him retrieve the hidden card. Being a noob, he got caught..then this classic smug from the grandson!!!

AWESOME!

Totally lifted up my mood!

MUST WATCH!!!
I find mysoju very clear!

Flat scam/money transfer

2009-06-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

I'm currently looking for a new place to move into. Then I found this too-good-to-be-true flat..

the master bedroom

2nd bedroom

living room

dining room

toilet

kitchen

computer corner

All this for 450£ and it's located in Byres Road!?! Byres Road is like the most happening road for university students. The flats there are way overpriced! No way it can be 450£

This is too surreal so I discussed with my friend bout it. And we said we'll not pay anything until we get to see the flat and confirm that he's the real owner. So I emailed back to him stating that I'm definitely interested then his reply...

From: moss frank (mynewhome4u@live.com)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and interest in my flat,I'd love to have you visit my apartment but due to recent inconveniences caused by wanna be tenants who I have invited for viewing and turned out to be time waster.I have decided to know your readiness and capability before inviting you for the viewing. I currently work in Manchester which is the the main reason I want to let my flat out. I'll need to take a day off from work in order to be able to come down Glasgow to show you the flat.Before coming down to show you the apartment.I will need to be sure of your readiness and capability i.e if you will be able to pay for month rent plus security deposit (£450+£600=£1050).Therefore, I will want you to make a transfer of a month rent plus security deposit (£450+£600=£1050) by going to the closest money gram or western union outlet to you with a friend or someone close to you and make the transfer as the sender and your friend as the receiver or any of your family members and you can also make them as the sender and you be the receiver so that when you arrive for the viewing and you are ok with the flat then we proceed by signing the contract/tenancy agreement form and handover the keys to you and we go to the closest money gram outlet closer to my flat to pick up the money and you pay me hand to hand as i will be ready to show you the flat and have your receipt and tenement agreement form ready as soon as i get the receipt of the transfer you made to yourself via Moneygram or western union from the post office that show that you really make the transfer and it is avaiIable to be pick up by you and have got the cash at hand to start the tenement renting of my flat . I do not want you to have the feeling that I'm asking for money before you see what you are renting because I know that payment is meant to be done after you have seen the Flat and okay with it but most tenants I have invited for the viewing, is either they cannot afford the rent or security deposit that's why I want to be sure before coming down to show you the flat. This is the reason you are not doing the transfer into my account and to let you have confidence that your money is safe and God forbide if anything happens to your money you can easily go to my bank to lodge complain in order to have your money back but I'm assuring you that everything is gonna be alright ok.. If you are ok with this arrangement you can let me know so that you can make the transfer with a family or close friend and once it's confirmed I will come down to show you the flat. You will need to scan the copy of the deposit slip to me as a prove.And to let you know.I will want you get back to me if you are ok with this arrangement so that we can proceed.I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Moss.

Honestly I had a similar case with another guy Barry. But I was having exams back then and I didn't have time to do so and it sounded fishy. So I dismissed Mr Barry. Then I thought it's too weird that a same case would happen. So I tried googling "western union scam flat rent"

True enough..it's all SCAM! FRAUD! LIARS!!! You shall LIE NO MORE!!!

From BBC Watchdog

So how is the scam working?
It's thought scammers use the details on the receipt sent to them to create a fake ID in order to pick up the money. The scammers' email addresses were traced back to Nigeria so they may even be receiving the money from one of the 320,000 Western Union branches around the world and not even from the UK.

Tom Craig is a counter fraud expert. He's not surprised that the scammers have taken advantage of Western Union as the scammers can't be traced: "Basically it's moving cash. You can't really identify the end receiver. Although you should but you can't. It's just like giving cash away."

Western Union told Watchdog that it's important that customers "observe the clear guidance and don't share private information such as transaction numbers or copies of the documentation related to a person to person money transfer with any other party".

Western Union stresses that although it does, with police, investigate all reported cases of fraud, it can't refund any money that's been stolen. It's confident it has a "robust fraud prevention programme" in place, but points out that consumers "are and always will be the first and best line of defence against consumer fraud, especially when it comes to protecting and safeguarding their personal data and identity information".

Lesson of the day: Use your bRAINEea!!!

Dr House

2009-05-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

I'm currently having my Radiology Student Selected Component/Module (SSC/SSM) in Royal Infimary.

It is absolutely AWESOME!!! But there were boring times as well; sitting in the dark rooms looking at scans, being shooted with questions, dozing off...making my partner nervous that he has to answer all the questions! LOL *honestly, can't really blame me, it's after lunch and the chair was really comfortable..and it's a DARK ROOM!* So sorry partner!!!hehehe...

We got to see billions of X-ray (so much that I'm kinda sick of them), carotid ultrasound/doppler, MRI, CT scan(can finally tell the diff between CT and MRI), BRONCHIAL STENTING*totally awesome*, bile drainage...........

This morning, we focused on Magnetic Resonance for the heart, so that's how we found out bout TAKOTSUBO! Anyway, the radiographer gave us a penny each and made us swear never to let go of the penny..then brought us into the MRI room. OMG...really felt the penny being pulled towards the machine! I'm sorry that I'm so SOHAI but I was so excited!!!

Anyway..what I really wanted to post bout..is my 'beloved' consultant! I think he is the 'god' for radiology. His eyes have in-built magnifying glass..em..more like microscope..and he made me feel like I'm colour blind! How can you tell dark grey from darker grey? He never stops impressing me and my partner how powerful he is!

But there's a downside...he's SO sarcastic! His facial expression never changes..permanently stuck with the serious look. He made such sarcastic comments/jokes that I have no idea how to react. He's just like Dr House. The health workers in the department has this love-hate relationship with him. They can't live with or without him! PLUS, he walks so bloody fast, I'm constantly running behind him!

Today, one of the radiographer told us that he's one of the LEGENDS in medicine. He understands the in and out of radiology, bout how the scans works and stuff...in fact, he's the only radiologist who's able to do that! Even the breast specialist radiologist had to consult him! I googled him up and he happened to have written some health guidelines. I mean..not in a million years I would dream that I'll meet a legend let along be under him!

It's been awesome so far...can't wait for more CHAing from the consultant!
Wish me luck!

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

2009-05-28T13:36:00.000-07:00

This is gonna sound so geeky, but today I just found out bout the coolest disease ever...TAKOTSUBO! Today one of the patients came in with suspected TAKOTSUBO cardiomyopathy! *I just love saying the name*

It means octopus trap in Japanese.

It's otherwise known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome.
So cool right?

There's basically ballooning of the apical part. Might lead to congestive heart failure! According to my consultant, basically the imaging will show dilation of the heart but the myocardium is not damaged. Transient and reversible..but if in severe cases..might get worse!

TAKOTSUBO usually happens in patient whose long time spouse passed away in their old age. Mostly postmenopausal women are affected. So they are literally broken hearted~

So my friends out there..who are feeling stress/sad/broken hearted...cheer up! There's more to life!!! Fight TAKOTSUBO!

American Idol Finale

2009-05-20T13:11:00.000-07:00

I'm crossing my fingers that Kris Allen wins American Idol 8 tonight. Not that I'm in LOVE with him..it's just the fact that I don't want Adam Lambert to win~hehe...

Think bout it...would you buy a record of a guy who's screaming most of the time in a song?who cares if he has a high range? Guys are suppose to have deep sexy voice..not high gayish voice!?! Don't be cheated by his charm (if any?) I don't get how some girls can go GAGA over him? *yes you ching li and stephanie!* hahahaha...

Kris Allen was not my favourite..but he kinda grows on you.

Look at how his mouth is senget when he sings~LOL

His songs are the type which you can listen to before you sleep, when you're studying, when you're walking on the streets..or just plain chilling out with friends.

Imagine I'm trying to relax/chill then I put on Adam Lambert's music..gonna be more stress man! Not denying his talent, or his legendary 'high range'...but you have no idea how many times I 'CHEH' when he's on in AI!
LOOK AT HIS SMUG?!?THE ARROGANCE!!!WALAU EH! hope he loses!!!

*cough cough tranny*

Apologize to all the girls out there who's in love with him. I'm having my exams tomorrow. Kinda stress..Need to get the truth out there..sorry to burst your bubble as well..he won't like you..coz he only like guys!

OSCE predictions

2009-05-20T12:40:00.000-07:00

I have a strong feeling EAR examination is gonna come out!

*imu...the good old days~*

I need Han Ying's brain!

2009-05-16T06:05:00.000-07:00

God HELP ME! I can only do so much~

David Archie!

2009-04-23T14:57:00.000-07:00

Was watching the result show of American Idol..Finally Lil Rounds is out! Matt G looked so upset at the end..his safety caused 2 ppl to go..hehe..must feel quite guilty..but he deserves to be in the show more than the other 2..dun get me wrong..I love Anoop Desai!

From the moment he walked in with those shorts and flip-flops lagi with those scary hairy legs...he's the MAN or 'dog'!!! Have never seen anyone going for auditions TAT slumber~but awesome!

Now to the main point...David Archuleta was present at the result show!!!
I admit liking Archuleta more than Cook but David Cook seriously deserves to win...awesome rendition of 'Always be my baby' (one of my ringtones)

When David Archuleta was performing..I was squealing so much...my housemate was probably thinking..."eh..SIAO CHA BO!?!"
But he's SO SO SO sweet!!!

I cannot think of any other singer or celebrity more innocent and as sincere as he is! Love him to bits!!! I can't stop laughing when he was sing Chris Brown's 'With You' in AI7!!!*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbxTXvS*

When I was youtubing him, found these videos of him when he was young...it'll make you go "OMG OMG OMG!!!SO SO SO SO SO CUTE!!!!!!" and be warned...lots of SQUEALING are involved as well!!!

Falling by Alicia Keys

I surrender by Celion Dion

This guy definitely loves songs from powerful female artist aye?

You're all I need by Aretha Franklin

The following video is a promo advert by David Cook and David Archuleta for Guitar Hero. If you've seen it before..I guess the damage has been done...BUT if you're a David Cook hardcore fan...STRONGLY advised that you DO NOT watch the video. A little revealing. Nonetheless..GREAT singer!hehe...

David Archie so cute right?awe....just wanna pinch his cheeks!!!

Windy

2009-04-22T10:12:00.000-07:00

I tell you the wind is SO STRONG sometimes it feels like i'm in the middle of a typhoon!

Darn it..Almost swallow a bug today.
My mouth was just half open smiling at this old lady..then this crazy bug brought by the wind flew into my mouth!

I spit it out like in less than 1 nano-second but by then my superfast saliva secretion digested it halfway to an unrecognizable state. I had no idea whether it's a wasp or just some typical black bug. SO DISGUSTING! Luckily IMU orientation trained us well...it's not the 1st time a bug's in my mouth!

I tried google image for different black bugs so that I can illustrate the bug that was once in my mouth..this is the closest I can find....

Yeah..I know..DISGUSTING right?

Lesson of the day: So not opening my mouth outdoors!!!

What's your personality?

2009-04-22T09:23:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, Pastor Mike preached on a very interesting topic, our temperament/personality. I believe his aim was so that we'll understand ourselves as well as people around us esp our partners. When we are born again in the Spirit, nothing happens to the mind. It is only through constant renewing of the mind that we are able to be more christlike.
'As a man thinketh, so is he'

When Ps Mike was going through all the different personalities, I can immediately put my family and friends into different category. It's really interesting how different we are! My parents are complete opposites...but I find it heartwarming that they can still be 'beautifully imperfect' for each other!hehe...

I'm not all crazy bout taking personality test or any sort of test because I choose to think that I know myself very well and I know what I want in life. But during the sermon, I honestly couldn't put myself definitely into 1 of the categories..OMG!I have no idea what my dominant personality is..;melancholy, phlegmatic, sanguine or choleric? I HAVE TO FIND OUT!!!

Found this personality test from Lydia's blog
http://www.oneishy.com/personality/personality_test.php

Try taking the test. You might just be surprise!hehe..

I'm a dominant sanguine..EXTROVERT..surprise surprise~haha!
I find some of the characteristics SO true yet some are so not true!Here are some of the traits that I have to defend myself on...

It says that I'm a compulsive talker?
wth?got meh?actually yea..just a little..sometimes!

Can't remember names?
definitely FALSE man..I remember ppl names real well! sounds more like Lieo Jiun/Nargen!!!I remember how long it took for Lieo Jiun to remember our names "erm..what's your name..can you help me bla bla bla?" and I bet Nargen can't remember half of our names now!

Scares others off?
WHAT THE?haha...do I really scare you?TELL ME!DUN BE SCARED!

Exaggerates and elaborates?
I'm CNN..I only report on news..not rumours!!!

Never Grows Up?
I'll have you know..I think I'm one of the most mature people among my friends..and I'm the eldest among my siblings..HA!

Anyway I think these personality test are just guidelines..not all-true. But it's a refreshing self-realization. Try it sometimes...

Feedbacks are Important

2009-04-20T05:00:00.000-07:00

I didn't know our feedbacks are actually read!haha...
*Just in case you're wondering, he kinda looks like Dr. Thani*

Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent 2009!! Incredible Voice!! @ Yahoo! Video

HAHA..bet you never expected that!!! Never judge before you listen to the person~
Greatest inspiration EVER~

Matt Giraud

2009-04-16T04:55:00.001-07:00

Luckily the judges decided to save him!!!
SCARED me~

*justin timberlake look-alike*

Honestly he's not exactly my favourite but he does make me love a song that I haven't hear for a very long time. And he's so soulful~

Next week there's gonna be 2 people being eliminated~I think 'kecil' it's time you leave..And I do hope the 'demon-ish' guy gets eliminated as well. But I don't think it's likely..he has never been in the bottom3 and the girls scream SO loudly for him all the time. I swear he had JAMPIed all the poor little girls~WTH saying he likes cheerleaders?
HA!?!DUN BLUFF!!!

Boobylicious

2009-04-03T12:39:00.000-07:00

I was super sleepy at OSCE practice today...but when they took out the breast model, I had no idea why I suddenly felt so awake!haha...

Yee Jun, the 'unlucky' victim to be the breast model. Actually I think he kinda volunteered himself?hehe..kidding!

So funny! Must keep myself from ROTFL during exams if breast examination were ever to come out!!!

Everyone can't wait to have a piece of Yee Jun!!!

My chance at boob grabbing!!!
*dun look at me like that!? I was merely trying to learn!=P*

Sexy!

Thank you Yee Jun, for your ultimate sacrifice...
You are the ~~breast~~ best!!!better than the rest...

Do you like Adam Lambert?

2009-03-26T11:49:00.000-07:00

For those who watch American Idol 8..you'll definitely know the name Adam Lambert. He has been predicted by Paula Abdul to be one of the finalist, being praised for his HUGE range by Kara, Randy's favourite 'dog', Simon..hm...just likes to be BOOed at for his comments.

I know a lot of girls out there LOVE Adam Lambert...

Quote "He's SO handsome! so talented...AHHHHH...I wanna marry him...wanna make babies for him....bla bla bla....*faints*"

I must admit..he's not BAD-looking...not great...but still...bearable...

He kinda looks like Zac Efron in this photo...

*Leong...stop drooling!!!*

I hesitate bout writing this post. hehe...Dun wanna be stoned/condemned after this! But I MUST tell you the truth...

ADAM LAMBERT IS GAY!!!

I dun wan to be mean but........I TOLD YOU SO!!!wuahahaha...how could anyone miss it? The make-up?The eye-liner?The black nail polish?The tight skinny jeans?

Honestly...I think skinny jeans are only designed for FEMALE! and I mean FEMALES ONLY! I dun care if you're a skinny male...you're still not a FEMALE..So LAY off those skinny jeans! Your little brothers need room to breath!!!

A picture tells a thousand words...here's a couple of them...

*judging from the photos...he's the receiving end*

little girls..dun throw eggs at my window ya...hehe!there's still other guys in AI8...make the right choice...pick Simon!he's always gonna be there!!!hahaha...

American Idol season 8...so far

2009-02-25T03:34:00.000-08:00

I love watching American Idol!!! I've got no TV here but it's not gonna stop me from tuning in each week~I love giving critics..then reviewing with friends on how the performances faired. It's just awesome!

Anyway it's now in it's 15 episode! Tomorrow's gonna be the result show for the Top36 (2nd batch). I kinda guessed who's gonna make it through...*Megan Joy Corkrey, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta* We'll see tomorrow~

Basically this season's voting system is slightly different. The judges have chosen the Top36 and they are divided into 3 batches. Each week 3 people will get through ( Top female, Top male and next highest vote getter) Then there'll be a wild card round where there'll put put another 3 through from those who didn't make it in the 1st place. All together..making the Top12.

-Already in the Top12 from the 1st batch-

Top female - Alexis Grace
She has this beautiful daughter and her boyfriend's in the military. I'm actually glad she made it!

Top male - Michael Sarver
Macho man but when he sings...he looks SO sensitive! such a family man! So sexy~hehe...

Next top vote getter - Danny Gokey
Actually I thought he was kinda gay with the 'best friend' who didn't make it to the Top36 but I don't want to comment too much. He just lost his wife like recently. Undeniably a great singer!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I'm absolutely daft that some of my favourites didn't make it into the Top12...namely

Anoop Desai
I may be racist but then he's so funny! He looked so slumber during his auditions (with the short pants and slippers)

I would love to see him in the Top12! very entertaining! He kinda reminds me of Kumar from "Harold and Kumar" who's currently acting in House MD as well! Oh well..there's always the Wild Card round!

Tatiana Nicole Del Toro
My sister HATES her! I don't really like her but I love the drama that she's causing in AI8! She's such a drama queen!!! It's so hilarious to look at her~I hope she stays on longer in AI8 just for the drama!hahaha...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Just thought it's worth mentioning...those that didn't make it through the 1st batch...

Anne Marie
Pretty but she kinda lacks the 'confidence' factor. Too bad~

Stevie Wright
Judges loved her but she did badly last week so what to do..gotta say bye bye! They kept saying she's really pretty~Forgive me if I'm wrong..but she kinda looks weird to me..her features are SO BIG! BIG eyes..BIG mouth..BIG nose? Pretty? Maybe scottish girls are of a different league...My taste has been spoilt by the pretty caucasians here!

Steven Fowler
Very forgettable...the only thing I remembered from his was that he stormed out during Hollywood week when he forgot his lyrics. Terrible manners~

Jackie Tohn
I love her. She's this rocker chick who's absolutely beautiful and yet has this tomboyishness bout her...But she was wearing this really weird outfit for the performance last week. Admire her confidence.

Definitely a fashion NO NO!

Brent Keith
Dull..he sang country music. When Simon said that he was forgettable..he was so defensive! But it's true~

Casey Carlson
Very young and pretty. I was kinda disappointed that she was so pitchy. But a bit too plastic for me.

Ricky Braddy
He's kinda cute but I guessed there's just too many competition...

That raps it all up for the 1st batch of Top36
______________________________________________

As for this week, the 3 people that I predict who's gonna make it to the Top12....tada...

Allison Iraheta
Only 16! Simon said she has 'raw' talent. So young~Her voice was so husky and strong!hehe...

Megan Joy Corkrey
She's just......different! I thought her dance was just really weird and funny! I was laughing the whole time!!!I can't believe all the judges didn't comment on it! She reminds me of Reese Witherspoon.

Adam Lambert
He's good but not my favourite. Just a thought that Americans would most probably vote for him.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I would more likely vote for...

Kris Allen
Not that he can sing very very very well..but he's just seems like such a nice guy!

AND

Nick Mitchell or Norman Gentle?
He's SO entertaining! Just for laughs though...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Just worth mentioning the other contestants tat are gonna be crushed in tomorrow's result show...sorry~

Kai Kalama
Such a sweet boy. Loves mommy so much!!! Feel so sorry for you~

Jessie Langseth
I was like..who the h*ll is she? I have no memory of seeing her before. Tak kan she's TAT forgettable???how she made it into the Top36? She's so pale she kinda looked like a vampire *the evil one*

Matt Girdaud
Piano dual guy. My sis's favourite!

Jeanie Vailes
She mentioned that she's out of the radar..SO true. I felt as if I've never seen her before this week's performance! But I guess that's the only chance we'll see her~NOT likely to make it to the Top12. We live in a harsh world~

Jasmine Murray
I remembered she's the youngest in the family with all her siblings old enough to be her mommy. She looks like a celebritiy to me dy..I have no idea why?

Michavonna Henson
No comment. Can't remember anything bout her. Just know that it's her 2nd attempt at AI.

Matt Breitzke
He's doing this for the MONEY...for his FAMILY~bigger version of Chris Daughtry

______________________________________________

*he's blind..shh...*

Nathaniel Marshall

Lil Rounds

Kristen McNamara

Junot Joyner

Jorge Nunez

Arianna Afsar

Alex Wagner

_____________________________________________

On another note...did anyone noticed who came for the result show last week...none other than MY Michael John!!! *scream...faint*

I can't believe he didn't win last seasons. Those that didn't vote for him last season....RETARDS!!! Luckily he's coming out with an album!!! So excited~ To show my support to him...I'm not gonna download his songs online...I'll definitely visit the pasar malam when I'm back in Malaysia to buy his 'original' CD!!!

Another guy that I absolutely adore in this season's AI is Michael Castro (Jason Castro's lil bro). I was surprised that he didn't make it into the Top36. The judges must have been drunk when they were making the decision...He's like a total chick magnet!

Michael Castro

The Castros
Michael, Jaqueline *13y/o*, Jason

They are so cute!

Till tomorrow...we shall see who's the next 3 who made it to the Top12!

New hospital/new pbl!

2009-02-20T05:59:00.001-08:00

***AIKS..I saw lots of drafts in my blog which I never got to finish writing! Many which are long overdued...paiseh paiseh..I will try my best to do so whenever I find time!

Previously I was posted to Glasgow Royal Infirmary...from this week onwards, I'll be doing my posting in Inverclyde Royal Hospital.

I'm quite frustrated with the new hospital..
It's BLOODY far!!!
Imagine I have to take the subway to the city..then take another train there..it takes bout 1 hour ++ to travel there..and another 1 hour ++ to travel back!!! At least 3 hours of my life gone..just on traveling!?! And not to mention the cost!!! Last time I'm always taking the FREE shuttle bus...now it takes 10pounds return!

Money=grocery=food...AIKS...no food?how?
slim down lor~

I really like my pbl mates from Royal Infirmary. It was a blast! We had an PBL outing for our last day...ate pizzas at pizza hut then watched
Slumdog millionaire

Liying kept insisting that the main actor looks like Sree...I think so too!!But this guy's a wee bit fairer! Hee... You would have thought since it's an international (english-spoken) movie, it might not have those bollywood dancing scenes in the movie..well..no indian movie is complete without bollywood dancing!!!

Back: Nick, Kat, Veer(SS with poster), Yee Jun, Angeline, Holly
Front: Ayesha, Niall, Nafees, Me!
Missing: Mr Deep Voice and Anna

They are a funny bunch! Always joking and made lots of 'rumours/gossips' especially bout Veer! But it's time to move on...

My current PBL group consist mostly of Scottish with only one Irish girl and one English! AIKS...I'm the only chinese along with another Thai guy and apparently he's really quiet. So I have no choice but to speak up in PBL or else there's no Asian representative!*must let the Asian voices be heard~*

I was kinda depressed bout changing hospitals...but then at least the most lenzhai guy *Keanu Reeves* from the previous group is going with me!hahahaha! And the current group are crazy bout gossiping...heard so many scandals..felt quite at home~And they are really really really smart!
It's gonna be fun!

Phlebotomist?not!

2009-02-20T05:19:00.000-08:00

This week in GP, my partner, Niall suggested drawing blood for our clinical practice. I've never done it on a real person before. We had a clinical skill session on a dummy hand and it was a
TOTAL BLOOD BATH!!

And I was in the same group as Niall for the clinical dummy session..and we made a TOTAL MESS..blood everywhere! Imagine my 'excitement' knowing we're gonna draw blood from each other!!! I can imagine how scared he was...but he didn't show. Good man!hehe...

I drew blood from Niall 1st but then it wasn't successful...Kinda poke the needle into soft tissue..luckily I'm gentle lady or I might have punctured his vein! Anyway, it was his turn to draw blood from me...I regretted going 1st because he'll have a chance of vengance! *AIKS!*

My arm turned all blue and cold, I think I must have been trembling because Niall and the GP kept asking me whether I'm alright!hahaha...The alcohol swap was like water swap..I didn't feel any anaesthetic effect!?! It wasn't excruciating pain when the needle poked..but still....it's more than an ant bite!!! Niall was successful...ah..my precious blood...gone~! Coz the doctor threw away the blood after. *Darn...*

Anyway..it was really fun and interesting! I knew I would like to write a post on this experience so on the way back, I asked Niall to post a 'scary horny' face...like those vampires who wants to suck your blood! But as you will see...my request was totally ignored!

After several attempts...
I give up!!!
Niall has no talent for making a scary face!!!

Burns' Supper

2009-02-03T16:03:00.000-08:00

I've finally finished my LCP essays!!!
I'm actually quite brain dead now but I've decided to celebrate it with a post for my almost dead blog...

On the 25th Jan, John decided to celebrate Burns' supper. And I was like "Burns WAD?" Apparently it's a celebration of this guy Robert Burns...who's regarded as the "legendary" poet of Scotland. Personally I'm not a fan of poems and artsy stuff....so I know none of his works except Auld Lang Syne.

Potrait of Robert Burns
(25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796)

Anyway, I thought it's just another dinner gathering...just tat it's with Scottish food (haggis, potatoes, turnips, whiskey) How wrong was I!!! John made us all wear formal! It felt SO weird~Coz usually John just walks around in a bathrob..=p

It was so formal..there's a particular ORDER to everything. 1st the hosts will serve all the guest with Scottish broth. BUT before we could start dining, John had to make a welcoming speech, then said grace..AND recite a poem about Scottish Broth. I was trying so hard to look serious and bite my lips to keep myself from laughing! Then only we were allowed to drink the broth.

Next, it was the potatoes and turnips. Again, someone had to recite a poem about potatoes and turnips. It's all bout the ORDER!!! Thou shall not mess up the ORDER!

Then it was the haggis' turn. Before making the 1st incision on the haggis, Yew Wen recited this really long poem which kinda made no sense to me because half of it is in scottish literature.

Address to a Haggis

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dicht,
An' cut you up wi' ready slicht,
Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich!

***the poem's actually longer..but I'm trying not to make this post TOO long***

Oh, glorious haggis...YUCKS!

It's really scary thinking what it is made from. Sheep's lungs, heart and liver boiled for approximately 3 hours in animal's stomach. My 1st dip at haggis, I don't think I'll eat it again. Not because it tasted terrible..it actually tasted like sausages..but the thought of eating insides are just too much to bear.

Amousry and Samuel
'The French Squad'

Last but not least...who could leave out Scot's Whiskey! Again, a poem dedicated to whiskey! haha!

Then there was a speech by Nina about Robert Burns. The only thing that I got from the 'lecture' was that Robert Burns was a naughty/horny young man. He only lived up to 37 but his legal wife gave birth to 9 childen. Not counting the various affairs he had..which accounts to 7 illegitimate children. Wow..he must have been real busy!!! If he had lived longer, the common surname in Scotland would have been Burns.

1st we had to make a toast to the Queen of England..may she be in good health. Then the guys will make a toast to the ladies..followed by ladies' toast to the guys. I was suppose to make a toast representing the ladies but then kinda got stunted after listening to Samuel's 'spicy' toast for the ladies. So Li Li had to make last minute impromtu toast!hehe...

We were suppose the finish the night up by singing Auld Lang Syne but none of us know whole the lyrics to the whole song..it'll just end up everything humming/mumbling. So we process with something more important!!!

John, John's hometown friend(lupa nama), Nina

I love going over to John's place!!!hahahaha...he is AWESOME! He has Wii!!!wheEEeeeeee.....

We were playing Mario's SMASH bros..whoever wins has to let others play...so whoever kept losing was stuck playing the game for a LONG time!hahahaha....cheat code: Just use pikachu or kirby!!!

Then we played Mario KART. Then whoever wins gets to wear this special cap. I never got to wear the cap...NOT even once~*sob*sob* All the practices..not good enough. The French squad seriously too PRO!

the champion's cap

Then we played GHOST squad. HA! The French squad didn't fair so well when it's not racing game anymore!!! Finally..something which I'm better than them!hahahaha...
Amousry is the funniest guy EVER! He's so animated. Had stomach cramps laughing too much!!!

I thought Burns' Supper is quite widely celebrated in Glasgow..but when I asked the local students, they were like.."Huh? When was it?"
CHA DOU..we did it so formal somemore!

Spoof

2009-02-03T09:36:00.000-08:00

I'm rotting trying to finish my essays! ARH....!!!

I was so bored that I was searching on youtube for something to cheer me up!

I love the last part the most!LOL!!!

the early bird catches the worm

2009-01-30T17:37:00.000-08:00

I was EARLY for the bus this morning!!!

In fact..I was 10 minutes earlier!!!

So proud of myself~

No running, no jay walking/running, no multi-tasking while running, not covering my face so that people won't recognize the person running every morning...

Honestly I kinda like the feeling of almost being late...compared to being early and standing in the cold waiting for the bus.

At least I'm warm when I'm running~girl's gotta get her morning exercise

Vampire's blood type

2009-01-19T12:36:00.000-08:00

Our current topics for pbls and hospital postings happened to be Hematology. So one day, during lunch hour, we started chatting away and got to know each other's blood type. Then the conversation led to blood transfusion and agglutination of wrongly transfused blood type. I have no idea how someone would be so random as to ask***I think it was Nafees***

...will a vampire get blood agglutination/hemolysis when it drinks the wrong blood type? haha!!!

After argueing for a few seconds, we came to a conclusion...
all vampires are AB positives.

***I know...I know...we're lame!***

Dashing for time

2009-01-13T12:54:00.000-08:00

Today was my 1st day of hospital posting after the Christmas holidays. It was SO SO SO difficult to wake up! I'm so not used to waking up when it's still so
DARK and COLD!!!

My posting actually suppose starts at 9:30am but there's a FREE *note the word FREE* NHS shuttle bus at 8am from the hospital opposite my flat (Western Infirmary) to the hospital (Royal Infirmary) I'm posted to. *My pride cost less than 1.50pounds of bus fare! hahaha...*

Anyway I've managed to miss the shuttle bus several times and I had no choice but to the the public bus. So I vowed to myself...

NEVER to miss the FREE bus EVER again~

So I woke up at 6:30am!!!..got everything ready..then I forgot where I put my stetoscope! ARH!!! Searched for it so long~in the end also cannot find..it was 7:50am!!! So I RAN like crazy towards the Western Infirmary.

While running, fixing my hair, wearing my gloves, wearing my scarf, wearing my coat...multitasking! According to Google map, it'll take exactly 15minutes by walking. I dash all the way, it took me 5 minutes~! yipee~New record!!! Reached there out of breath, coughing and my "pleurisy" was killing me...Driver shakes his head. Same girl almost late all the time!

If this keeps up, I can join the 100m dash and with practice..shall win a black girl!

The most CHA DOU thing...My stetoscope was in my bag all along~

If you see a girl running early in the morning in formal clothes...
DO NOT DOUBT...it is ME!

2009

2009-01-06T03:34:00.000-08:00

Actually I wanted to blog bout the Euro trip to Prague-Vienna-Salzburg-Budapest..but I thought I should start 1st blog of 2009 with

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!!!

The theme that I have chosen...

LADY-LIKE

I googled up "How to become a lady?" Then I got answers like how to get the title "lord/lady" LOL! Then I saw this quiz: How Lady-like are you? I was so curious so I decided to take the test! hehe...AND..I didn't score too badly!

Score: 17 / 24
Rating: Groovy Chick

Verdict:

Its good to see a girl who has good manners, but knows herself well enough to be able to have a laugh occasionally. You are the sort of girl who can get on very well with others without letting anyone trample all over you. You are very lady-like but you know when to twist the rules slightly when the occasion calls, whether its to defend yourself or to just have a good laugh. I'd doubt someone like you would be mentally repressed or have any issues (though I could be wrong).

Anyway I've decided to learn from the ladies around me...

Stephanie...how to bake
Li Ying...how to be nice ALL the time!
Li Li...flowers, candles and good cooking
Zoe...how to engage in lady-like conversations
Han Ying...be cultured and artistic (must "pretend" to appreciate classical music and fine art paintings. CANNOT fall asleep during orchestras!!!)
Lieo Jiun...love pink! PINK is not GAY!
Sree...bigger boobs

Celebrity in my pbl group!

2008-12-21T04:20:00.000-08:00

For those drama lovers, you have GOT to watch Ugly Betty!!! It's currently in its 3rd season..and it just keeps getting better! I absolutely love all the villians in the series;

Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina

Imagine that she's the 1st african american who was Miss America...
evil never look so good~

Michael Urie as Mark

Every evil villian needs an evil sidekick! He's bloody good at acting gay...Love his curly hair~

Becki Newton as Amanda

She's the receptionist working in Mode magazine and is absolutely hilarious! I love it when she arches her eyebrows~ adds to the whole bitchy personality

Which brings me to mention bout my pbl group mate Angeline who looks SO MUCH like Amanda!!!

I think she can post as her twin! Don't get me wrong, Angeline just LOOKS like Amanda..she's one of the nicest people in my pbl! hehehe...

There's another guy in my group who looks like Keanu Reeves (just a blonde version)...

WAH so handsome!
*too shy to take his photo*

Cannot blame me if I don't talk much in Pbl sometimes..
***STAR STRUCK***

taipomi's ministry of food

2008-12-20T18:14:00.000-08:00

One random day, we decided to try some new recipe. Then I decided to make chessy chicken baked rice which can be found in Ching Mei's blog.

It's fairly interesting. We kinda modify some parts of the recipe because I can't find the ingredients. Simply lar...life's about taking risk! We made them 2 times. On our 2nd attempt, Yew Wen mentioned that the rice was not tasty enough so we add in lots of seasoning to the rice as well. It was absolutely delicious~

before

after

*I reckon it tasted better than Kim Gary's!hehe..kidding lar~*

While waiting for the cheesy rice to bake, we decided to make some other stuff..ever heard of fried apples? I think it should be called "caramel apples" instead. It's VERY sweet! DIABETES!!!

Basically just dip apples into sugar and fry them with butter until it's brown.

Then Li Li made potatoes salad. It was really nice but I had no idea why I didn't take any photo of it
*I think we were too engaged in playing resident evil? hehe...=p*

Resident Evil

2008-12-20T14:28:00.001-08:00

After many many nights/mornings of battling the undead..we finally finished all 6 chapters of Resident Evil!!!

Suddenly felt so empty?

RACISM but funny..hehe!

2008-12-16T07:31:00.001-08:00

Ke lian de statues

2008-11-25T11:14:00.001-08:00

I honestly have no idea why humans build statues for...it's like a permanent temptation there to "prank" the statues!!!

Victim #1
Long long time ago I posted this photo of a cone on "her" private area. After weeks and weeks of the shame "she" had to go through...the cone was finally removed~

Victim #2
"he" must have looked really hungry for someone to stuff banana into "his" mouth!
*what a waste of the banana man!!!*

Sarawak power!!!

2008-11-25T11:10:00.000-08:00

HA!!! Told you Sarawak pepper was legendary~

Peel View Surgery Clinic

2008-11-20T09:21:00.000-08:00

Today I have clinic visits again! My 1st time on the glasgow subway and train!!! The subway train was SO small!!! My lenzhai irish partner can barely stand up straight...he had to hunch inside the sub~hehehe...

*Niall inside the train to Lenzie*
This is not a very good photo of him..he's more charming in person~haha

I honestly had loads of fun going to the clinic! It's a new experience each time! My doctor, Dr Ian is a very humble person..though like all other doctors..they like to shoot you with lots of questions but he does so in such a relax manner so it was great!

Kirkintilloch town is so far away you can see cows in fields and beautiful meadows...so peaceful~

We had to interview a couple of patients each..and also do our longitudinal care project where we visit patients who are chronically ill. Then there's this elderly couple...they were SO cute~when we went in..they straight away offered a cup of tea~then took our coats..then the elderly auntie was like.."Just treat me like ur granny~" hehehe!!! Then she gave us so much sweeties! Then the couple was SO CUTE~so loving! They have been married for 58 years!!!

Then afterwards I interview this elderly lady..she's SO small!!! I think she only weighed 31kg and she had HUGE glasses! And can you imagine her with squeeky high voice..hehe! Very energetic for her age..she's so funny! When I asked her to describe her headache..she said, "Oh..it's like a bunch of elephants jumping on my head..a party up there!" Then, she was talking about her son who's really BIG, "He had to buy a shirt which is like XXXXXXXXL size!!! If he gets any bigger..he can put me in his pocket!" Niall said she looks like a cute preying mantis!hehehe...

I love my clinic visits!

Me bestie

2008-11-16T15:15:00.000-08:00

I'm so grateful that Han Ying came to visit all the way from Edin! It was such a BLAST!!!

Absolutely loved her presence here~!

Han Ying and Me~
Taken at Nottingham games. Both of us had to travel bout 7 hours all the way there to see each other when we were just an hour away~

So awesome to have a ghostlike-longhair girl sleeping beside me for 2 nights, radiating her warmth, testing out my "self-proclaimed pro" cooking skills, shopping buddy, gossiping whole night, playing ps3...hahaha...! We planned to go sight seeing in some places; Kelvingrove Art Gallery and museum, Oran Mor(cathedral turned pub), Transport museum, Kelvingrove park, University of Glasgow...

NONE of that happened. Coz we were in the city shopping the WHOLE time!!!hahaha...At least we managed to have a glimpse of the statues in George Square!hahaha...

Sree was such a lovely shopping companion..carries our shopping bags, our tall dark body guard and "willingly" tries on stuff for us so that we don't have to mess up our hair

our mini-pot bless presenting our special guests; Han Ying, Chee Mei and Karen
*if you are observant..you'll notice the fire detector covered with plastic bag and sock!!!hehe..absolutely ingenius right~*

We almost missed her bus.
The bus was actually scheduled at 4:45pm so we started walking out of the flat from 4pm. According to google map, it'll take 33 minutes to walk there. But usually it takes us like 20-25minutes for me to reach there...I guessed we were reluctant to let Han Ying go back so we were kinda walking quite slowly~hehe...

When Han Ying actually checked the time..it was already 4:30pm and we were still quite far away from the bus station...all 3 of us were half jogging, half running there!!! The adrenaline~
Luckily made it in time!hehe...But we let her go with a HEAVY heart~

Come visit more often ya!!!
Welcome to Scotland~
*For more photos and info, visit Han Ying's blog!*

1st GP visit

2008-11-06T14:42:00.000-08:00

I got posted to a clinic/surgery FAR FAR FAR away~ and I am still not able to pronounce or spell the name of the place?kilkirnoch?kilkirnacock? When I googled map..It'll take almost 3 hours to WALK or bout 45minutes to drive there!!!*so I guessed no way I can ride my bike there..haih~*

I was a bit nervous bout taking the bus or the subway myself for the 1st time.
BUT, luckily...we were posted in groups of 2 or 3. AND...lucky me~I got posted with a lenzhai irish guy! JEALOUS NOT? wuahahahaha!!! What's more...he's super nice and really really friendly~!

mini preview 1st
dun wan to show you his face yet...later everyone drool over him!

The clinic was really really far away, and rural...there are fields and farms filled with cows and horses. The place was just mesmerizing! I'm saying this NOT because there's a lenzhai beside me ya!

The clinic visit was lots of FUN! When the 1st patient came in, it HIT me like a brick that this is the REAL thing! The doctor gave us lots of freedom. We were asked to interview the patients as we like with him sitting in a corner. We were allowed to give our probably diagnosis and give advices and suggest treatment. Seriously stimulate sparks in our brain. And as usual, the doctor would shoot us with some random questions. Makes you alert and full of energy at all times! *sucked so much brain power and energy out of me that I slept in the bus on the way back!hehehe...*

Our doctor, Dr Ian Cannon was really knowledgable and highly respected among the community. He's amazing...a great teacher. Honestly, I was expecting common cases like headache, fever and diarrhoea but we had such a huge range of diseases and findings...completely love it!

Looking forward to the next visit! yipee~

jumping photos

2008-10-25T18:47:00.000-07:00

I was looking throu all the all pictures taken during IMU days...then a saw a couple of funny jumping photos. The trick about jumping photos is..it's all bout the TIMING...and EVERYONE must be synchronized to make it work!hehe..It was fun looking back on the good old times where the weather was NOT THIS COLD!!!

I remembered we were like..1,2,3 JUMP! But it's inevitable that some people would react faster and some slower..haha!!!

I think we got so tired of jumping SO MANY times..We just had to be satisfied that the last photo is good enough~hehe...

baby brother

2008-10-22T00:00:00.000-07:00

2008-10-21T03:13:00.000-07:00

It's been FREEZING cold nowadays!!!

When Malaysians greet one another..we start our conversations with
"Eat dy or not...AH?"

When Glaswegians greet one another...
"Terrible weather...aye?"
*People here CONSTANTLY talk bout weather!haha...*

It's been raining quite often nowdays. The rain flies horizontally..there's no hiding from it!!! When the wind blows, it felt as if COLD BRICKS are being thrown at your face!haha...

Look at the poor tree just outside my flat!

so poor thing

So what is the solution to it?

SKI MASK!!!

Look at this cool ski mask...Soon it'll be setting trends!!!

Halloween is coming up..why not scare a few people while you're at it?

I actually thought this is much scarrier than the skull ski mask!haha..

Got colourful one somemore~
Imagine a robber comes into a bank wearing this?haha!!!

BUT it doesn't solve the fact that your shoes might get wet? Easy!!!
Wrap them with plastic bags!!!

I GOT LOCKED OUT!!!

2008-10-12T04:57:00.000-07:00

A very FARNY~ and memorable morning!
This is NOT the 1st time that I've locked myself out of my room...BUT this would be my very 1st experience trying to BURST open a locked door! I tell you it's not as easy as it seems on TV!It's all lies!!!

I tried using some flexible magazines, kicked it by force, bang it..twist the knob like crazy, used a screw driver...I tried every method I can think of..In vain, I ran to Liying's house with WET hair and in 7degrees!!!haha...*FREEZING~*

Then Liying tried googling up
"How to open a locked door?"
Some answer were really darn silly; "use a key", "call a locksmith"
DUH!!!DUM DUM~
But it mentioned to use hair pins, paper clips, credit cards and so on...Without much hesitation, she missed church just to teman me try to break my door down...*You're wonderful!*

Then Alfred and Li Li also came over to my place..
*I'm a sinful person lar~I made everyone missed church!*
We kept poking the door with hairpins, knocked it with the screw driver for almost an hour..We tried calling the locksmith and it cost 95POUNDS!!! Then being a kiam siap Malaysian..a calculator image appeared in my mind..
95X6=RM 570

*NO WAY man...Can feed me for a few months with that amount of money~*

Then we called up everyone we could think of..Yew Wen answered to our cries of desperation...
When he managed to open the door..I WAS SO SO SO HAPPY!

Yew Wen, Li Li, Alfred + Alfred's CIMB card

the master at his best

I am eternally grateful..Thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO much!!!You guys are really amazing~

Last night Alfred decided to cook fried bee hon...So he invited us over to his place to have a taste of his amazing cooking skills!haha!!!

Alfred, Lili and Eric
-tenants of 27F-
*they look like a very happy and complete family...daddy Alfred cooking, mommy Li Li copping all the ingredients and boy boy Eric cleaning all the dishes*
Oh..Eric's from France as well! It'll explain why Alfred and Li Li are starting to get French accent when speaking English!haha!!!

the ingredients

Alfred in action...twist..turn..mix mix~

Stephanie in the background..looking with amazement!
Alfred..action action performing~

The final product...look at the generous amount of meat~!!!
*It tasted REALLY REALLY REALLY nice!!!*

Thank you tenants of 27F, Kelvinhaugh Street!hehehe..

Then after that, we went over to Liying's place for desserts! She cooked barley!!!And we also had Baileys with VANILLA ICE-CREAM!!!

SO SO SO SO SO NICE!!!

Baileys mixed with ice-cream

Bailey's happen to be one of Alfred's favourite drink

But...It's usually the quiet ones who are the best drinkers..*silent killer*...Stephanie drank like it's water! NO FEEL!!!hahaha...Damn PRO!
*mommy..I only drank like a sip!barely tasted it...hehehe!!!*

Mark and Antonio was also there...they were cooking some exotic dishes. The French are all bout food presentation. They arranged the food properly and with style. They really know how to enjoy food...drank red wine somemore!

Antonio arranging the minched beef over the hollow cucumber-looking thing..then he spinkled lots of cheese over them
*Me and Lili looking attentively*

Antonio and Mark eating their dinner..enjoying a whole bottle of red wine

Then Mark started telling us some stories. Antonio actually entered a singing talentime show on TV back in France. It's called "STAR academic" *sounds like Akademik Fantasia* But Antonio was eliminated in the 1st week!Wuahahahaha!!!

But Antonio was really funny. *Dia punya Inggeris bukannya baik sangat..kena teka daripada action dia yang sangat comel sekali!* Lili was saying that he's very very cute then suddenly Antonio asked if she wanted his signature since he's quite famous!hahaha!!! And for real...he did wrote her a signature!!!

Antonio's autograph to Li Li
Sorry have to tilt ur head for this..Lazy to modify it!
He ended it with "I love..."
He said it's left of the imagination!haha!!!

Then we offered them so Baileys. But Liying insisted that I personally give the cup to Antonio..Honestly I didn't want to..coz it's very embarrassing as he already thinks that I like him!!! But I rarely say NO to a dare..haha!

Antonio looked so SHOCK! I also no face to look at him dy!!!

MALU-nya!!!

Then he just put the glass by the side..din drink until we were not looking.Haha..i think he also shy dy lar!!!!Dun lar tease him all the time!!!

Thanks Stehanie for the photos!

It's all in the mind..it's NOT cold

2008-09-29T02:15:00.000-07:00

I always get to see amazing stuff when I go out to city centre..The temperature was bout 10-16°C...but I see a long line of girls wearing
spaghetti strip & tu tu
What's more..out in the drizzling rain!!!I was wearing such a huge jacket and jeans yet I still feel chilly~hehe...

Most of them looked juvenile...not old enough to drink yet.Then we found out..those 16-18 years old were allowed to drink from 6-8pm and it's only 1 pound! So I guess there's all the police patrolling in that area..hehe!

*Scotland never cease to amaze me!!!*
