Wk 9.5

Saw 1st yrs yesterday…didn’t get wat I want, but still…got 3 mentees, got a free shirt…they were more intesrested in knowing the other first yrs than wat we’re telling them…oh wells..

Work for the first time this yr last night…freakin hot day to work…
The things I like about my jobs:
The bus trips (coz there’s air-con)
Esplanade busport where I change to another bus (coz there’s air-con)
The cheese and cold meat section of the counter (coz there’s air-con blowing straight down)
I’m thinking of changing my job to somewhere closer…but I like this place..:(

Got this invitation to someone’s 19th…but the thing is, like any 18’s last yr…it’s always at a bar or club…where u drink and there the stupid dress theme/code (this one is Disney, like as if I m going to dress as mickey) and it’s mostly ang mohs…well I simply prefer the asian way…where we jus eat somewhere or jus hang out…it’s really nice of them to ask someone who they don’t even know well…but, sorry…I will go to others if there’s any suitable one…hiam so much ho

I think I know why my house is utterly depressing- there’s not enough people…

I’ve now learn to cook more so dat I can save up and eat on another day…which I think is quite smart…but anyways ...

My housemate got the same fan I bought for $9.99… I bought it for $14.99-ish

I bored…but I’ll b busy next week

Wk 9 (i need proper titles)

Failed my two attempts in drilling a his mom's tooth in a dummy-patient’s mouth…crap…last yr I can do it with flying light speed travelling colours…feel like detaching the whole jaw…muahahah

Wk8.99

After a pleasant chap goh meh dinner at hawker’s, and a pleasant dinner at singapore’s with both hving sambal kangkong and rice, tonite’s dinner wasn’t dat bad…pardon my poor expression…it’s 1am btw…I shud b sleeping but since I don’t hv class tomoro morning (we officially start everything next week)…I shall not sleep…my freaking sensitive teeth are annoying me…and I think I grind which is freaking me out (can’t even see the tip of my canine liao..gasp!!..wat if I expose the pulp??!! Bacteria!!ahh!! Decay!! Ah!!!!!)… ah, life without excessive worry is un-liFe-ly…ampun crap I semua-semua ni

Wat was I going to say? Dinner last night, well night b4…went to macker’s after dinner and coz my fren was working there, he gave us 20% discount…but we jus bought a large chips, so that not much difference…but anyway…it’s the thought that counts (or in this case, warms my heart…lol)…I think my mind is set to drunk mode now

Today…did nothing until 1pm..washed clothes…ate quiche which my housemate made...and then embarked my journey all the way to curtin…I seriously think planning is essential lo can? Some ppl can jus do thing or go somewhere like ‘dat’ but I cant lo…so I researched google map &whereis map, studied the bus timetableS…visualize the journey and then execute the plan…left my house at 4.45pm, reach busport, change bus and reach destination at 6pm!! Like one hour trip…flip thru my book where I hv written down wat I plan to take…den leave and walk to nic’s place according to my map…talk for a self-predetermined time, ok not really la…walk to curtin in time to catch the 7.30pm bus and then take a bus back to reach home at 8.30pm…finally got my coats and hangers…muahahhaahahahahahah

I overheard sth on the bus…actually a lot of ppl are depressed when they come here (I mean going elsewhere to study)…so don be worried if u feel depressed..it’s quite normal…jus don let it get too serious…

Oh and i might b able to celebrate CNY again next yr...a roughly accurate estimation was done (woa~~look at the oxymoronS) and i shud b back after CNY...yeah~~~~~~

Big day today...let's see wat will happen...lol

空谈

不懂哦。。。头脑就是一时满到乱，可是一时又空到闷。
烦死 了- 一个打不通，等着拿东西回来，又要想方法拿回来。很想像阿窿冲去他家把东西强抢回来， 可是又不是他不要还。
房友的朋友来-在房间听他们谈天。。我真的是闷到这样。。哎哟，他们实在努力到beh tahan，没有考试都有心情做笔记。。。可是觉得他们很cool咯，一个在学rubik's cube，另一个明天做quiche带去学校交换食物。他们也好像很常和coursemate出去。我这一班，好像有点很被动，可是我也懒得动他们啦，等一个人动了，全部就会动了。不知道在讲什么废话。。。有旧朋友也罢。。

wk 8

Hmmmmmmm

Remember the food I cooked…I still hvnt eat…I think it’s rotting…lol

Monday was ok…went to intro of 2nd yr thingy…actually got encouraged by one of those boring talks u get b4 starting a new yr…saw the 14 repeats from last yr’s 2nd yr…they group together like sheeps seeing us all…hahaha.. not really, they jus sat there together…den evening kelvin came to witness the dodgyness of my house…and wanted to go city to hv dinner but end up in broadway eating ‘pide’

Tuesday was off coz nothing was scheduled for wk 8…so I had the tv on from 9 til 2 until lionel came…to witness the dodgyness of my house…after much failed planning to go to his house and back, kai called to go out, which like solved everything (coz he got car..ehem)…and den the person who has my phone called, as in my new phone (it’s a cheap one jus in case I loose it again)…so on my way, I took my phone…and somehow…there’s no more worries…which got me worried… and we ate and watched JUMPER…which was semi-awesome…

Wednesday was today…going to be yesterday…was sickening…didn’t hv my clinical coat with me (coz I still got stuff somewhere else) and frantically borrowed a lab coat…went to lab... got new stuffs: a toolbox, an edentulous stone cast to bring (as if I m going to study it at home) and key to own locker. After dat (and lunch), had a lecture which I semi-ly slept thru, coz it’s all sort of a repeat of last yr, before another 3 hr lab which we learnt abt neck and back pain…to cure back and neck pain, apparently u jus need to exercise more of those parts…u get pain because of wrong posture and hving it not moving for a long while…like a truck driver who sits there for forever fixed will get serious back and neck pain…jus now went to my grand-uncle’s place…had dinner…grilled pumpkin was nice…:)

Tmoro is Thursday…I got only one lecture…alang-alang like dat…but I m not complaining...I seriously need to get at least my coats back…so dat I can use on Friday…

See, I didn’t eat the food I cooked on Sunday yet…

De-depression

I seriously feel so lifeless now. I jus want to sit in front of my laptop and read blogs rather than doing anything else. I still need to unpack my stuff, wash my clothes but I’m just too lazy to do any of those. I m so not like this last yr. No idea why. Oh. We got a tv (which is like the best thing which happen this whole week- well it felt like that when we got it back but not anymore) for $10. Crazy leh. And we kutip-ed a coffee table somewhere in uni for the tv. But now the tv is sitting there quietly- coz I don’t feel like watching it. I rather sit here and be depressed…

Dat was in the morning. After hand-washing my clothes jus now I felt so much better- probably because I sweat like a lot. BTW, now I can hang dry my clothes with a clothes rack outside the balcony and a proper whatever u call- clothes lines which I think is much safer than those of vickery house- since I can jus look out the window. Laundry was never so fun…=.=…Then I unpacked half my stuff. Pretty productive I must say. And life didn’t seem so dull anymore…

Jus now, tried to do wat my mom suggested. Take mind off everything and spend time cooking a decent meal. Which I did but I didn’t eat it. Coz I had leftovers- yes, finally finish liao…this decent meal will be eaten some other day… Lol

I start to hate ‘11pm’s’. It’s too early to sleep and too late to watch a movie. So here I m blogging again…

Depression

Two days to when uni starts. Went to a training for host day in the morning. Met a few course mates- good to see them all alive. Then, something happened. I was back home, outside the house to get some air when suddenly the door slammed shut. [Pause] Remember how the doors in vickery house locks automatically when u close it, yea mine’s something like dat [play] so I panicked. (slow mo) Cursed a bit (mild ones), really wanted to knock the door down, but thought of having to repair the door and getting in with a broken shoulder. Also thought of breaking the window and getting in (a break-and-entry). Can’t call my housemate coz i) I don’t hv my phone with me ii)he’s probably in class (no watch to see the time) iii) and he’s probably too far to walk back. Then my wonderful mind thought of something wonderful. Going to the agent to get a spare key. Aha! Running (more like jogging) barefooted to the agent’s office and got the key. Thank God I live so close to the office (like a block away). Oh and the reason why I can’t wait for my housemate to come back is because i m getting my stuff back (which reminds me I still hvnt unpack those stuff) from my colleague in like half an hour’s time. Stupid…

Today was ‘interesting’. Manage to escape the house almost five hours. Went to utopia to meet someone, well you know who you are. Sat there and enjoyed the music, air-con, atmosphere and food. Then went K…lol. It was nice to escape for a while….tqqqqqqqqqqq

Came back to the dreaded house….i seriously dunno y I hate it- mayb bad fengshui? Did I ‘fan’ the Tai Sui? Or was it the air in the house. It feels so claustrophobic. Like it’s suffocating as if the air is not moving. Well, it’s just plain depressing. Anyway, later ate food which I tabao-ed (still hvnt finish leh) and called home. So touched. Even my mom now thinks I live in a sh*t house and hving a sh*t week. On the way back, went to Broadway (it’s quite cool- got music on, jus totally no one) and got a newspaper (free one). And read sth interesting. Allow me to translate. 1 in 4 teeangers have depression compared to 1 in 10 people in the olden days. Some of the symptoms are: energyless (tick), lethargic (tick), thoughts of commiting suicide (cross). Studies show that exercise (burn 3 times 350 calories in a week) and exposing urself to sunlight (and UV which can cause cancer) can help depression. Eating fish also helps. So, in my opinion, if u are sad and it’s not about one thing in specific (like u lost ur phone OR u lock urself out) u might b having depression. Cure it- it’s scary. This has been brought to u by me. It’s a good read. I’m going to sleep now. I know this was random.

autobiography

My year started off with uncertainty, doubts, fears and of course poor health. Well, ‘Perth year’ anyway. I was certainly reluctant to come back this early, but it was I who chose the date of my air ticket at the first place. And somehow this year I was really homesick. It didn’t help that I was sick 3 days before my departure and both my parents were taking really good care of me and the fact that my family went to Brunei to send me off (well almost everyone).

Things went, well, sort of down. Everything added up. Having to live in a new house, and I must stress an unfurnished one. Having to live with someone I thought I knew well. A small room, smaller than my last one and no bed on the first night (I had to sleep on the sofa-turned-bed). And my old stuff will only start coming tomorrow.

Mornings weren’t pretty at my place. It was really quiet as my housemate had class. There wasn’t anything that I could do even though I could’ve unpacked my luggage. No one was online to chat with, well I don’t feel like chatting anyway. So there’s practically nothing that I could do. It was insanely bored. And I think that’s when I started to hate this house and Perth..lol

Having eaten antibiotics when I was sick also caused my poor appetite since I came to Perth (apparently it kills everything in your gut and which I believe causes indigestion). At times I was really hungry, but I just don’t feel like eating (and cooking). I’ll be really thin by the time uni starts.

And things took another big dip when I lost my handphone. Yes again. Fancy that. Having to lose your handphone twice, nearly losing it once, and not forgetting having to lose my wallet once and twice almost losing it. Well, you know how I was already so disconnected from everyone else, and having this happening jus came crashing down. I wanted to call home (being homesick and all) to let them know, but I’m just too embarrassed to tell them. Having to lose your phone once every year. It’s a curse I tell you.

Well, today’s valentine’s day. I went out with Kai. Got a phone (borrowed) courtesy of him. Had lunch all the way in chilliz at karawara. Went to K-mart and got a fan which I am enjoying now (remind me to have it refunded and ask get a heater by winter, lol). Went all the way to the new IKEA (which was big and awesome.. er I mean terrible, it’s too big and all) and got a new dining table+4 chairs for $99. :) Had dinner but none of us finish anything and had to tapao…feel so bad for dragging him all around…thanks

As for now, with me sitting on the dining chair typing on the desk with the fan blowing at me, the house seemed to be a better place already. And certainly learnt the value of: a mattress, pillow (which I still haven’t gotten back), handphone (seriously can die), health (so cliche), friends and not forgetting God’s love. And like they say, it can only go up from here on (hopefully)..

Happy Valentine’s day!

I'm back

In Perth

And i don't like it..

OPS BALIK KAMPUNG

Multicultural Week

I know this is a bit, ok very late already…writing about it almost 2 months after it happened.

Everything started from March. Don’t even remember how I even got into this whole mcw business…curiosity I suppose…I was in the events team, we basically planned the events of the whole multicultural week and carry it out during the week itself. There’re other teams as well: marketing, media, logistics. At first, we came up with a lot of great ideas but got rejected. Was quite unhappy about it at first coz some of them were fresh, interesting ideas, but soon realise we really can’t handle that much. There’s only 3-4 of us and I pity the head coz she had to do a lot of stuff (not that we don’t want to, but I know sometimes it’s jus easier to do it urself). Had to make calls, send emails to ppl to enquire about dances, quotes etc..

And just when I thought my job is done, I was supposed to sell tickets for talent night in 2nd semester. Lunch time gone…sob sobs (I would b eating and jus slacking in the library anyway). T’was quite fun tho....made some frens…stress a bit about the tickets not selling out at first, but luckily still manage to sell it most of it… and showbag packing was somehow memorable…haha…a production line which managed to finish 2000 (or was it 1000?...dat’s wat happen when u blog abt sth 2 months ago).

During the week itself was really fun and exciting…it’s like our own baby coming to live, getting to see wat we’ve been planning for half a year finally coming true and the feedbacks we got back was encouraging.

Opening ceremony (Tue afternoon) was soso- speech and dances. Simple but I think it was just nice- a warm feeling to it, not too crowded. Orange ballons everywhere (but kept being taken off by passers-by)…ohya, we each got an orange shirt (which we wore for the whole week…haha)… Also manage to get some nice photos.

love that girl's expression- peeping over her shoulders

and this also..haha

super-like this photo...composition, lighting, subject...so peaceful like dat

Talent night (Wed night) was like the highlight for my department- ran by only 3 person 2 of which emceeing. It was quite nervewrecking coz we only manage to fill up the ‘20 contestants limit’ on the day itself. I was quite nervous as wellcoz I was controlling the sound system and stuff (if I stuff it up, well, the singer will perform badly), and thanks to one of the staff there who helped me out throughout the whole night. Before that night, I went to CS karaoke night (I think was a week before then) and so was also able to comment and give idea so that ours is not as bad (lol..no offence). Tried my best to help the contestants- hope they are satisfied. Omg, that night was really awesome…all the talent we have there…not jus plain ‘ol singing…dancing, monologue, bands. And we have Christopher (one of the contestants from s’pore idol) who eventually became the winner, an old lady (who almost won Utopia’s own karaoke competition but gave up ‘so that others can win’) who was second I think (or was she the third?) and another band. Sorry to my frens whom I cant make time for. It was fun for us as well and new as well coz we hvnt had this event for two yrs if I m not mistaken and we had audience voting session (which was carried out much better than CS’s) and lucky draw which wasn’t as slow and boring. It was ‘chop chop’ and audience weren’t as felt wandering wat’s happening. Schweet… and to see my frens performing was gold…haha…ppl said it was great (better than CS’s)…*proud smile…haha

counting audience's votes

winners (old lady is behind him)

Spring feast (Thurs night)- too bad I was in the committee, so can’t simply run around to buy stuff to eat. It was something like pasar malam (night market) for those who don’t know, with alfresco eating area provided as well. Some of the nice stuff I ate: omurice (got it for free coz I ate the sample on display…lol…sold out too fast), satay from mahsuri J (somehow lost the last packet of food I bought there- satay and 3 chicken wings for $5!!!! cheap can…), emm, too bad missed out some of the food like rojak, and the ‘balls on stick (lok lok is it?)’…

Stage was so-so, didn’t really concentrate on that, but the area around it was packed, a bit too packed I think. Oh the three winners from talent night came back to perform. The cleaning up afterwards was fun, like we all cooperated and formed long chain of tables and raced… lol…screaming and yelling in uni late at night was fun, crazy actually..haha…wont get much chance of that anytime soon. Had a meeting sitting on the floor while drinking the bland and somemore with bubbles which are too rubbery free bubble tea. Then went back feeling so tired.

this one very dodgy...someone bought the wrong-sized plastic bag...so we cello-taped 4 together...until someone got the correct size....see, every small detail also hv to be considered

Movie night (Fri night) was quite sad- only 5 ppl came to watch. So, ended up us (the committee) watching the films (野蛮女友(cant remember wat’s the English name) and the valet) ourselves, ate quite a lot of sweets (bad bad…*shakes head), : )…actually I wanted to go to curtin pasar malam to see theirs but too bad, was too lazy to travel so far….

checking systems

It was fun…if not for this event, my whole yr would b quite dull dull-er…and luckily my team was all very responsible (since we only hv 3 members)…haha angkat bakul sendiri…will definitely be in it again next yr…b4 I get too busy to be involved in anything in third yr.

FAIL PPL ...fail elacs!

Japs never came to aus...

neither do angmohs believe in souls (i think)

so the previous post was PURELY fictional (story only)

lol.....muahahah

boo!

Today is Friday, so I shall talk about something light.

Let’s talk about abrasion, attrition, abfraction and erosion.

Ok. Just kidding. I wouldn’t want to remind myself of the horrible experience of writing a whole essay during exams on those stuff.

U know, the place I am working at is along the Great Eastern Highway. So, after work I take the bus to get home (well, duh since I don’t have a car). Yesterday was so freaky.

There’s was only three person in the bus. Driver, some random aussie bloke and me. So, u know lar, those blokes always stand beside the driver and talk all the way on the bus, so loudly somemore that everyone can hear clearly.

Well, there’s this stop along the Great Eastern Highway which any bus I take after my work will stop for a few minutes. But strangely it’s not one of those timed stop. And it’s jus one stop before the Victoria Park Transfer Station, opposite Burswood.

I always wondered why they would stop there for a few minutes coz well, like I said, it’s not a timed stop. Until I heard wat the driver said yesterday.

The bloke asked him why he stopped there for so long since no one is coming. At first the driver said something about orders from uppers. After pestering, the driver finally told the bloke and I overheard.

It was something like this. Some i can't hear clearly, so ya.. There’s a pond beside the bus stop. Apparently that area was the dumping site of bodies of ppl who were killed during a massacre by the Japs. And on the other side of the highway, was also a pond, near Burswood. When the government built the highway, they separated the two sides of the lake. Ever since the highway was in use there were a lot of accidents even though it’s just a straight stretch of road. Water would also leak/flow onto the road.

So after some ‘investigations’ (I also dunno how), they found out the ‘souls’ need to cross-over. So like now any bus along those highway hv to stop at the stop, and wait for another bus on the other side of the road to stop to form this ‘passage’ for the souls to travel.

And then the bus started moving, as in the driver driving it, not earthquake-type moving. When I turned right, (no, no white face on the window…dat would seriously freak me out) another bus left the stop on the other side of the road. My whole body had goosebumps instantly.

Freaky…and typing this middle of the night and knowing I hv to cross that area again tomoro...

最近在追着香港连戏剧《溏心风暴》（edit:已经看完那30集了）。我知道我很out 了，其实一直都有的，只是很懒的要追。气死人的是，我只有30集，要自己下10集。现在还要等。谈恋爱有苦有甜。甜的吃，苦的也吃。‘诚’ 字。‘浑’与‘运’。‘和’与‘禾’。

喜欢它两首歌：

昨天（edit:已经是一个星期前的事了）与一班朋友搞了‘宝莱坞电影马拉松’。看了两出电影-kal ho naa ho, chini kam。第一部比较好看，第二部其中一个角色每句话都是带有讽刺性，看了都累。两部各都大约三小时，可是还好朋友的家很舒服，还是home theater叻。其实如果要介绍中文电影，你会介绍哪些呢？我想了好久，却想不到。大多数都是香港制作的，要不然就是偶像剧，不可能看一些冷门的艺术片吧。同样，如果要你介绍一位华人歌手你会介绍谁？周杰伦吗？他好像与中文乐坛画上等号了。

喜欢这个网站，因为全部都是大马音乐。没事时就会上去听歌，慢慢享受。

好快哦，星期五了（edit:已经过好几天了）。。。考试已经过了一星期。
这几天都很无聊，家里很静，整天只想出去走走，在city逛、lepak。很闷。还好迟点就会打工了，那时候，要闷都不能啊。现在，一直强迫自己朋友叫出来的话，都一定要去，不可以懒惰。
最近餐餐都吃得很烂，没心情要煮。不是意大利面，就是快熟面。其实对我，两个都是一样的。煮来煮去还不是那几样，真的很sien。今晚一定要煮好的。努力想！
也不知道为什么心情有时很烂。无端端会灰起来。更年期？哈哈哈。白痴！
最近在学着这首歌：
（其实很感激家里有一架‘钢琴’，不是的话，一定很闷，以前学的东西也会全都还给老师了）

Yesterday (26/11) was really a good day for me somehow….everything was very ‘smooth-sailing’ (can’t find a better word)…*smile

My morning starting with a call asking me out for lunch…I thought, since I m going out, I might as well confirm my ticket (what’s that word, reimburse, or sth like dat is it?)…shun shun li li got a flight to Brunei on 20th dec…luckily wasn’t fully booked or anything….*wipe sweat

Then had lunch- Seoul BBQ…hv been craving to sit down there and eat since exam period liao (if takeaway not really worth it, don hv the miso soup…cheapo..haha)….it was lunch time, so it was fairly full…but after waiting for 10+ mins, finally got seat, so lucky…and we talk talk talk …and I found myself a new house next yr….woohooo…fairly cheap, close to uni, housemate sound ok…jus like the perfect one for me….:)…SO LUCKY…*grinning ear-to-ear

Then went grocery shopping…woolworths…I being so obedient, manage to stop myself from buying the 99 cent kinder beuno and $4.99 boost ice cream….*claps hand…suddenly wanted a nice breakfast…angmoh style…so I bought sausages, bacon, and hash browns…muahaha…no more muesli for me…if I wake up early enough to cook everythin. I need to sleep and wake up early…there’s reason why ppl say sleep early, wake up early…anyway….den went back home to go work….

LUCKILY…the bus was a bit late….managed to get onto the bus for work…second day attending ‘lectures’ to learn to become the ‘back person’ in the store…*starts jotting down notes…doing stuff in the kitchen (the back part of the store) instead of serving customer…pretty daunting coz the next day I hv to pair up with someone whose doing the front stuff…luckily they all love me, so they’ll help me do more stuff first so that they when I do the night shift after their afternoon shift, i don’t hv to do so much…lol

After work, went to a birthday celebration (wont mention names due to my blog policy- but you know who you are)… like at 11pm…lol…so lucky, when I got to the bus stop a bus arrived, the bus before was like half an hour ago, so if I rushed, I would have been waiting there doing nothing…*kills fly while sitting at the bus stop… Everywhere in the city so quiet, but the karaoke room was noisy…manage to sing a few songs I have been listening to… *smile…met up with frens whom I hvnt seen for AGES….*smile…one free bubble tea…*smile…haha…

thank God for this awesome day! *smile

How’s the new writing ‘mood’? different feel rite…

Old stuff

Sorry ppl…this post will be old boring stuff I scribbled down in word doc and now I m posting it up……

(Wrote this while I was researching for my thesis essay for one of my unit- Human vestigialities- A vestige. Only posted this up now coz I was a bit afraid that the lecturer would think my essay is too good for someone with low standards like me and go search if I copied my essay from anywhere (they actually have softwares to do that, for plagarism). Hopefully I didn’t go out of topic…I was trying to write an essay on human useless body parts but end up saying that the idea of these body parts being useless is well useless…o.O…if you are interested to know more, I can show u….as if you would be…lol)

Omg…I m so addicted to this theory of Darwin thing…the debate between whether Darwinism is true is very interesting…I think we are all quite familiar with the theory of Darwin ..well the basic ideas.

But I saw this website (while looking for information for my essay on ‘vestigial body parts’, which I now think is a total crap)…it refutes Darwinism in a logical way, providing strong evidence and views from experts from their respective fields (I spent the night reading through it, very interesting, not too scientific-sounding). Now thinking back to a question my friend asked me a few months ago: Do u believe in evolution? (I was doing an essay on human evolution for another unit) And my answer was yes, but I still think that there’s a divine power behind the whole evolution (since it’s too random even for nature itself). One example was, how can a cell form by chance. If you studied cell biology (yes cell not human biology), u would know that it’s one of the most complicated system human ever encountered. All the proteins in one cell, only functioning with the correct type of amino acid and correct sequence and orientation, which is supposed to have occured by chance. An average protein with 288 amino acid has 100000000…(>30 zeros behind) possibilities of combination (of 20 amino acids) and only one works.

Anyway, where was i? Oh yes. As we learnt more and more in cell biology, the intercellular networking is just impossibly impossible. The network, how one affect the other, how one controls the other protein or even a few proteins come together to protect the cell itself all in one cell, is jus ‘wow’. So now, as I was saying, my view was Theistic evolution (which generally views evolution as a tool used by God (I like the way they put it)) but now it’s sort of going towards Old Earth Creationism. But still wondering, what do other religions view the origin of human…that would be quite interesting. And do u know the Bible and the Quran both actually has a lot similarities in term of characters and events. (and I spent like 20 mins reading the article in wiki) I used to not really believe in the whole religion thing, but still believe in God. I always thought that religion was a good lie (referring to all the events that was in the ‘books’), and in fact a perfect white lie to give people hope and strength. A good thing still. I might get bombed saying that aloud I think…lol.

Random stuffs in my group note…made me laugh during times of despair revision

>The fluid surrounding the baby, amniotic fluid is mostly diluted urine. Throughout the life of the baby in the uterus, it’s swallowing the urine excreting and swallowing it again ….YUCK!!

>Net filtration pressure (in the glomerulus) must be small positive figure
- if negative = no filtration = no urine formation = OMG!

>Without autoregulation
- increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 100-123 mmHg would increase GFR
- e.g. filtration of 180 L/day à 225 L/day and urine flow of 1.5 L/day à 46.5 L/day = OMG @!#!%^#!& fluid and salt loss!!!!!!!!!

>But in mammals it is another one of those ‘evolutionary junk’.( Man if he din go on about the evolutionary junk so much, we would have finished this lecture in 15 minutes.)

>Stretch receptors detect filling of bladder, transmit afferent signals to the spinal cord and pons
(Occurs when the bladder is about 200mL)

Signals return to the bladder from spinal cord via parasympathetic fibres in the pelvic nerve

Efferent signals excite detrusor muscles and relax internal urethral sphincter.
(Urine is released unless inhibited by the brain)


SOMETIMES…..

The micturition centre in pons tell the bladder not to pee because you are making a speech in front of hundreds of people.

External urethral sphincter contractsà no urinary flow

i like the big arrows...:)

There was a large crowd gathering at the gate. Friends and family members were there to bid farewell to everyone there. It may be the last time before they step in through the gate. And then, the gate was activated. Kisses on foreheads were given. Lucky charms switched owners. Promises were made.

Slowly, one by one, we all walked through the portal gate, sending us straight to the war zone. It was somewhat surreal. It’s right here and right now. Somehow, the future is vague. This is what I have been training for. But none of the stimulation combats had prepared me well enough for the size of this war.

We all synchronized our watches and went to our own position as planned before. I took out my name badge and wore it as that would be the only form of identification of dead bodies. I took out my weapon, double-checking it as it will determine whether I’ll live through the war or not.

This is not a normal war but a war with oneself. And this makes it all the harder. I tried to remember back all the tactics, techniques and tricks that I’ve learnt all these while. But everything seemed so blur. I doubt that I am prepared for this war even though my trainers said that I am. But alas, what will come, will come eventually.

As I sat there quietly, I wield my weapon tightly in my hands, just waiting for the general’s signal to start attacking. I said a little prayer. There’s no turning back. This is it. God bless us all.
And he shouted out, exam starts now…

‘On the count of three, catch me- if not, she’ll hv a hard time. Ready, 1, 2, 3..’
‘No, wait…’
Dum…
‘Crap…’ said the ovum as it lies in the peritoneal cavity looking up at the fimbraie.
‘Oops’

fimbraie are supposed to catch the eggs from the ovaries when they are released

Yesterday was australian federal election. Apparently here, once you are 18 you can start voting. So the other day my friends were arguing who they shud vote, really stupid...lol...
Last night the result was out. After 11.5 yrs under liberal, labor won this yr, with Kevin Rudd as the new australian president.

Did you know?
Wikipedia already had the new result of the federal election included when i checked this morning, even all the other languages like mandarin, cantonese, japanese, indonesian, malay, spanish, french etc had the news that kevin rudd was the new president...do ppl like wait and update or what? so fast...
Kevin Rudd has a chinese name. No it's not a direct traslation: 凯文·拉德 (kai-wen·la-de)but 陆克文 (Lu Kewen)...not bad, putting his surname first before his first name, like a real chinese name...i was like, who translated his name until like dat, it's all terbalik...until i read (from wiki) that he gave himself this chinese name....impressive
oh, and he apparently eats earwax...it's even on youtube...lol
