happy may day!

hello hello:)

how's everyone doing? can't believe we have come to the middle of the year already, few more months in a blink and its hello to UK, for the 3 of us.
anyway, i recently took part in this national health research study at NUS, as a research "material". the objective of the research study is to study the link between people of all ages, races, religion, diet, lifestyle and the more common diseases in sg like diabetes, stroke, heart diseases etc.
yupp, so i got to take blood test (6 tubes!), urine test, doppler ultrasound, foot sensation and also took a photograph of the back of the eye. i had my first try of a different way of taking blood. cos instead of the usual syringe, they insert this needle (that look like those inserted into the veins of the dorsum) with a hose-like tube and the blood is sucked out by vaccum into the blood tubes.
(unfortunately, i had brusing after that haha)

the doppler ultrasound test was interesting too. the person applied some gel near my brachial pulse and the dorsalis pedis pulse, then place this probe onto it. i get to hear the peripheral pulses on the machine, and see the pulse waveform on the screen. so cool, cos i have not heard peripheral pulses before. sounds like whipping sound to me.

for the foot sensation test, its similar to those sensory test we do on the feet during OSCE, using the filament and a machine that is adjusted from no vibration to different levels of vibration, to test for vibration sense.

that's pretty much all for the tests. took part in this research study, since i have nothing to lose (except my blood) and its all part of research anyway.

yupp, work's ending in 2 months time for me! finally, i get to have free time after that :) hope everyone finds joy at whatever at hand, be it posting, work or plain enjoying life as it is :)

medical conference in 2 weeks time, till then do we meet again!
cheers:)

Sharing ~ the Joy in life =)

Haha seemed that everyone is having a hectic life!! so I must also join in the crowd =p I have registered for a medical conference few weeks back and today is my first day there.. it is actually located in a hotel in Batu Ferringhi.. so u can imagine how luxurios the conference is =p haha.. I never expect that it is such grand.. I have two tea sessions and a buffet lunch in between!! haha of couse there are lectures and presentation in between..* sounds like the food is the main thing to me and the conference is just a side note* but i do learn something meaningful too.. the topic this year is about clinical emergencies.. quite interesting... and guess what? i did something that i haven't done for half a year! which is ~ falling asleep in a lecture! =p haha cannot blame me la.. who can pay attention and not fall asleep after a proper yummy buffet! the dessert is really nice!! and I also met a new friend.. and she is actually from Jeannie's favourite country ~ France! haha she is married to a Malaysian and that's why she is here.. and she is telling me that her pay in France in 2 days is equal to the pay in Malaysia for one month.. and she is actually a Family Medicine Specialist but Malaysia doesn't recognise it cause she is the first French doctor in Malaysia so far.. oh yea.. she met her husband when she was doing her elective in UK! romantic and bravo right! :) so keep your eyes opened when you are doing elective next time!! haha your Mr Right may be there =p
Ok enough of nonsense =p i know i totally doesn't sound like i have attended a medical conference but more like a high tea with a french lady =p will try not to fall asleep tomorrow.. i realise that once you stop attendinglectures for some times.. it can actually be quite tiring once you first revisited it.. i actually slept like a pig just now and missed my yoga class...

and yea, I am so happy to see our blog getting more lively again!! hehe all the best for your sandwich marathon tommorow Hoay! Happy working and napping if you have chance Jeannie.. Enjoy your HamYu Miss Kuantan.. A great weekend for my dear Wheiying :) and last but not least.. a big kiss to my dear Queen that i miss very much! hope you have reached the States safely.. whenever you miss home or us.. just look at the sunset or the moon.. cause we are looking on the same thing though we are far apart.. and when dark seems to be lonely sometimes.. just think that the Sun is not disappearing, but taking leave from you to go to the other side of the world to cheer us up :) Take care everyone! and continue to find your joy in life! :)

POST exammmm

HEY YO!!

as you can see, i am so excited! haha. i have finished my EOP ( end of posting exam) :):):) anddd, i am damn siens diao. coz everyone else is still mugging hard for the exam, coz the actual time scheduled for the exam is thursday and friday. but my lecturer is not free, so he shifted the exam earlier.

since i am quite free here, i shall elaborate more on my dramatic exam experience! lol ;p my exam was moved forward to wednesday initially. i was already feeling panic la, coz its one day earlier than other people, means less time to prepare... anddddd, guess what, my group went to port dickson this morning with the lecturer who is goin to examine me, and he told joel that he wants to have the exam today at 430pm instead!!!! and it was 1230pm when he said that! can you imagine how big my eyes were when i know the news.

the panic waves hit me! coz i was just sooo unprepared!! kns kns kns. lol. aanywayyy, i went to the ward, and was given a case. anddddd, luck was on my side. the patient that he chose for me, was a case which yingsee has presented to us during our mock exam given by yuanliang the night before! lol. sooo lucky righttt :)

anyway, i think i did okay, not excellent but i have tried my best :)

to the subway girl -- jia you jia you and give your best smile everyday okay! but please dun overwork yourself!

to the spy pseudo-blind lady -- continue to spy okay :) and please take care of your eyes alright :)

to my lethargic-looking housemate -- all the best okay :)

to the workoholic -- please learn how to slack laa ;p

hmmmmm, did i miss out anyone?? noppeee, i dun think soooo. or is there anyone , any feipo who is eating like nobody business in sg , lol.. fly safe alright! and take care of yourself :)

plus an update, i'm still stuck in sg cos my flight's been cancelled due to the iceland volcanic ash incident. (my transit was to be at frankfurt, but all flights to europe's been grounded here in sg including mine) luckily i've managed to secure a place on a LA bound plane this thurs, so i'll be departing on thurs morn instead, a few more days in sg to eat eat eat!!

SUB SUB la! =)

Yesterday being the first day our beloved zabor Hoay , making a new chapter in her life - working in SUBWAY!! so of cause must report report abit!! :) i went to the shop at 12+ yesterday thinking that i might be the first customer.. To my surprise! i saw a LONG que! I am sure Hoay did not expect that too..But she started her job deligently.. not even realising that i went into the shop and took so many photos =p ( haha i guess the person behind me might think that i am some sort of spy or gila person =p) .. I am sure Hoay would be shocked to find out i actually posted it here :)
From the amount of customers i saw yesterday, i guess that this job is not going to be very easy.. but i just wanna tell you that we are so proud to see you stepping out of your comfort zone and took up a new challenge! that's a big step :) Keep up the good work.. I am sure your sweet smile and great service will be the best flavouring for the DIY Sandwich! =)

Hehe I tried Parmesan oregano + vege + turkey ham + thousand island + chilli + mayonise! is really yummy! highly recommended!! =)

First task of the day - adding cheese on the sandwich and ask :" Sir do you want your sandwich being toasted :) :) :) ?"

Part of the team in the process making you a succesful yummy DIY sandwich!

hello (blog)
long time no post!

i was looking through the older posts and came to the very 3rd post of this blog, from kairou who set the so-called rules as below:

1. no vulgarities/cursing please. ( hamsapness is fine, eventhough we are non-hamsap people, but you see, we are trying to make the world a better place=P)

2. good england is highly encouraged. ( especially some certain someone! )

3. post as frequent as possible, everyone! please don't let this blog die. even if its just one sentence, please contribute yea. this is especially important as we move on to phase 2.

look at point 3. im guilty of that.
whether its one line or many many lines, lets not let the (hamsap) spirit die down!


looking forward to thursday:)
please try to curb your laughter when you see me hahah. dont worry kairou, i will of course save myself some embarrassment and pin up my hair so no one can see the ugly hair.
i cannot believe i have to be fringe-less until my hair grows back :(

i miss seeing the smiles :) seremban welcomes your sunshine smiles :)

psstt.. anyone up for donating blood this week? heh, barath and myself went to the blood bank today. but we didnt get to donate coz they say today no interest ( hah, i am still as lame ;p) anyways, we went there today, they are already closing, so barath was suggesting we can all go tgt and donate when u guys are here. haha. so yup, if we are really bored, we can all go donate blood ;)

annddd happy good friday :)
