Ghost-like features seen

Kids knocking door by door 

The kids were cutely dressed

First halloween celebrated

It is so nice without salt! 

The story of the morse code and the lady

told a story of the lady who is always tapping on the table 

Healthcare isnt abt poping tablets really

it's more on how you help patients with their day-to-day management

QUALITY of LIFE

秋

秋意浓浓 

每天都走在秋叶飘落的街道上

有时狂风 有时微风 有时暖意满满

一切都是那么美好。。

惜福

当我这对眼看见带来希望的光

当我鼻子可以感受空气的温度

当我双手冷僵在冷风里却不曾失去触觉

当我气喘吁吁地赶到医院却不会面临生离死别

当。。。时间、脚步、呼吸、快乐 同时存在

加油！

Things really have got their meanings here
today's lecture on ethics was a really meaningful one

1. Emotional memory is much much stronger than the factual memory.  Ppl tend to remember the feeling each individual makes him feel more than who the individual is.
   - this simply implies tat for the unfortunate patients who lose memory, they might not recognise ppl they used to know, but they definitely can remember the feeling ppl make them feel.

2.  As a individual / carer, it is always more important to make the patients feel good rather than forcing facts onto them! eg, do not argue over who u r when u're mistaken into someone else. It hurts ur feeling that ppl u once familiar with just cant recognise u anymore, as if u were never there.  However, if they do recognise u as somebody, it just means that u make him feel like someone he used to know.....they recognise the feeling when they meet someone they know!

3.  Things can be complicated when u're just not in the right position to do sth ethically.  No means NO! never compromise for sth that will put u into serious legal dispute.  However, be creative in finding a solution for things.

4. Understandings and empathy really help in helping the patients.

5. Always act in a way that comforts the patients.  Eg, RETROGRESS! Patients lose new memory first.  If they cant use an electric kettle, buy then the old-fashioned boiling one!!! It's always small act that makes a difference.

6.  Be a lil more considerate and show a lil more patience.  It definitely gonna bring a positive impact in the patients!  Think of how u can improve their lives! Be mindful!


Lastly, let's make a change!

Research Projects

was introduced to lots of them today
once again, i couldnt hide my excitement and determination to get involved
i dunno which one to choose
most of them are interesting!!!
of course there are some themes that interest me more
i dunno if i can afford them
i hv decided to take up other challenges as well

let's make it a challenge
TIME MANAGEMENT is the key!!!!
as from my pt of view, the main obstruction is the time constraint!
if i never try, will never know how it will turn out to be
let's not b a coward n worry abt all these at this point
just go for it , do ur best n accept watever it takes me to!
give my best, no regret!

when u heard "having sex" in most lectures
they tend to make it an international joke
u know, if u joke abt others, there must b someone with different culture background who dont get the joke
LOL

5pm but looks like 9pm
omg......i hv to overcome the fear of darkness
or else i would hv to rush home right after class
NO WAY!!!!!

U never go to a bone fracture patient n say'come on,  get over it. Stand up n walk.'
But y do u do so to mental health patients???

the moment when someone u dislike added u on FB
LOL.....
i hv never hated and will never hate anyone
it is just tat i dont n wont respect u if u're taking things into certain ways which in my point of view, you are abasing urself
u took advantage of the unarmed ones
u disgraced urself!
well, i admit tat ppl do change n u might hv changed too
if u did, i sincerely congrat u!
but yea, i m still very unwilling to hv any relation with u
i'm so sorry, u r an elder, i shouldnt hv acted this proud
but, sorry, i'm not a saint,
N for some reasons, i still pretty much look down on u!
Dont u ever take advantage on the poor, the lack-of-knowledge n the public as a whole!!!!

Limbic system

Brain controls emotion.
How important is emotion in our daily lives???
"v need to enjoy everything v do bcoz tat gives meanings to ur lives. V need to enjoy having sex bcoz tat ensures the continuation of generation."

Hmmm... Make sense......tat's y human is created with amygdala,  septum, n other parts in the brain.

V hv emotions.... It is essential part of life
Every act of ours carries emotion
Positive n negative ones.....
The former keeps us moving,  the latter holds us back
It is abt the balance of these n how to manage the latter that keep us all in sanity!

but life is not a jar of sweets...
v cant expect onli the positive ones
the negative ones arise by themselves at some points
wat you can do is to observe it running in ur mind, ur thoughts, or being reflected in ur actions
feel it, then , most importantly, LET IT GO!

This lecture oso reminds me the importance of doing what ur brain tells u it is enjoyable doing
especially when u r considering a lifetime profession
you need the  long term  motivation to carry out the same daily routine for long
N emotion is the most realistic/silent  motivation
if u enjoy doing it, it keeps u doing it!!!!

Birmingham

1. the feel where Genting street was made live here! street artists.....

3. Statues everywhere!!!!

5. Library!

6. Singaporean/Thai/Chinese cuisine - Chinatown n restaurants everywhere....but, to great disappointment, nth authentic except their NAMES!hahahaha

chilli sambal fish that tasted like a sweet-and-sour in a Singaporean Hotel restaurant

Wont forget how the "gold" dropped onto my boot from the sky!hahaha

"If i could turn back time" jz got real!

Roller blade

How i wish i can do it this elegantly!!!!

fell for umpteen times 

thanks for the hands helping me to my feet, guys!!!

i mean u guys r awesome, v were complete beginners 3 hrs ago, n now u guys roll like a pro in a hockey game while I still try pretty hard to balance myself!!!!!

THANKS A MILLION, Lans!!!!it must hv taken u lots of patience to teach someone like me

one thing tat i learn from u, 

NEVER FEAR FALLING

control ur movement n fall when u fall n u'll b there!

Definitely a great experience!

p/s: there is always a price to pay......my bummmmmmmmm.........TT Luckily it wasnt a fracture.

Jack of all trade but master of none!
Tis is what i should mould myself into in real life
But tis is definitely not gonna define me

超不爽！！！！
一大早的！！！！
有没有搞错！！！
一直，我很认同你的概念，正义！！！！
当然， 你的选择，与我无关
可是我觉得真的要检讨
为什么现在的人对感情就不能从一而终？？？
为什么这边厢口口声声说自己有多爱某某
转个头， 就做了不堪入眼的事？？？
我真的接受不到!!!!!

 如果两个人不适合，
我举双手赞同分开
可是， 那些字迹间的爱意， 如此的真实
天哪！！！！
之前看到新闻说结婚没一个礼拜出轨的
你说了什么？？？？
为什么面对诱惑就那么的不堪呢？？
事后认错真的一点意义都没有！

时时警惕自己，
要aware 自己的一举一动！
多用脑！少用感情！

自己的幸福不寄托在人身上
不是你选择谁你才幸福
是你让自己幸福
所以无论谁跟你在一起他都幸福

Romantic Schistosoma japonicum

have seen lots of parasites' life cycles this week
appreciate the effort of my lecturer in 'telling the stories of parasites' lives'
he really gave lecture on life cycles as if he was telling a bedtime story
jz couldnt help loving him!!!

so, today it was schistosoma japonicum's turn
this species is jz toooo romantic
the female worm stays with the same male in host for majority of its life cycle
and after "she" left to lay egg, she would return to the same male
LOYALTY!
when the worm practices great value, y cant educated human?
=)

then i heard someone whispered:"if it were Dr Lim , it wouldnt be like tis......"

"i miss Dr Lim"  "ah~~~Dr Limmmmmmm" "Dr Lim draws everything step by step, wat is tis , a whole page of mechanism in 2 minutes?"

i really miss ur lecture.....

but tis sets me into a series of reflection

have I been too reliant on u?

u r an excellent educator, am I a responsible student?

heteroatom rings v were on jz now

i thought of how u pronounced piperidine

i saw u drawing curly arrows on the white board with ur back facing us

hahahaha........

whenever i was lost in the lecture, i thought of u!

Potluck

I love being simplistic

jz wanna b simple n stay happy

THX for the enjoyable session.

Will work on the emotional bit harder, so tat I can handle it if it happens again next time

" everyone is doing it " can never b an excuse for me to join their action.

NEVER!

If

If he is being rewarded with wat he spends his whole life working for
If he could breathe the air I breathe,  feel wat I feel,  see what I see through this pair of eyes he contributed
If God could b kinder to him (not asking for more in life,  jz saying tat he could get things at the right time)

I dunno how the ending would sound.... But this story hasnt come to an end.... N i m in the storyline...... Bcoz of tat,  i will try my very  best to act for a happy ending.
