Nothing much... just taking a little break from mugging in the library... so here i am at the com! My life's been pretty boring for the past few days so i guess there's really nothing much to post about... Oh, I saw Lee Hom on Sunday! haha... i went late for the autograph session so i only had to wait a little while before i got my signature! :) Sigh... the guy in front of me brought all his old albums... and got em signed! I should have too... i didn't think they allowed it cos usually U can only sign the one that he's promoting... Next time when its held at IMM I'll DEFINITELY bring all my old albums too! Speaking of which... i've got 3 copies of his latest album... but i only brought 2 to sign... (cos i thought i only had 1 coupon so can only sign one so i just brought 1 more along to try my luck) As to why i have 3, its cos :
I bought the 1st one... theni realised that there was a VCD version n so i bought the 2nd copy with the VCD... then to go for the autograph session i had to buy the version with the coupon.. so 3loh... sigh... i must give Sony alot of money... i have 4 copies of his unbelievable album! And 2 copies each of the "evolution" and "impossible to miss u album"... Anyone want to buy?? haha...

Have a good day. I'll try to study hard... Gogogo! :)

Darn... i just checked the YES 93.3 fm website and realised that i missed the interview with Lee Hom on friday! Sigh... there were 2 interviews! One a 2.30 and another at 7.00pm... then again i couldn't possibly have listened cos i had my dental at 3 and yunxin's birthday party at 6.30! haha... Still... nevermind, i'll probably go for his autograph session later... (so embarassing) I'll just pop by lah.. i won't queue like an idiot... there're probably people queuing now already... but hor, he's been in S'pore since friday! i wonder where he's staying... haha... (not that i'm gonna go stalk him lah.. but just curious)

Anyway, i think i'm really growing up... (as in i know i'm growing old, but growing up's another matter) cos nowadays i don't see these things as so important anymore... Maybe because i'm attached and so there's another guy in my life... A more important one! And idols are just to well, waste your time when U've got plenty... and now i don't exactly have plenty of time! So i guess I'll be a passive fan lah... and anyway i guess as i grow older looks don't exactly matter so much anymore... Like i don't find leehom as good looking as before! (maybe he's growing older too) But also because he doesn't seem to be placing as much emphasis on his looks now... Like yesterday he was on TV... then he like never shave properly and didn't put on much make up...

I guess he's also growing up and he want his supporters to support him for his music and talent! haha... Well, i definitely support his talent! Music wise, well, i'm really ok with anything that sounds good lah.. although i think he's trying too hard to be 'creative'... Let it flow! that's more important right? But i guess he can't help it cos expectations are high...

Anyway, about Yunxin's party, it was really fun! ;) haha... and me n ah ma were eating when everyone else stopped... (but that's cos the 1st time we didn't eat much cos we were quite full) i'm sure she was really happy to have so many of her friends there... and wow, i really like her granpa's house! So near orchard... (then again its good i don't stay there... or else i'll be bankrupt from shopping everyday)

ok lah.. that's abt it!

"One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done."

Marie Curie

I think the above quote's really cool! :) Anyway, i had the Final MBBS exam thingy yesterday where i was pretending to be a patient to test the student's communication skills... Wah, it was a really scary thing! (for the student) cos got so many pple around looking! And the examiners are the "da pai" type... Those in charge of my group were Prof London Ooi and Prof Tan Ser Kiat! goodness... imagine 3 years down the road it'll be my turn!

I'll deal with it when my time comes... Later i went with derrick to the dentist... and he extracted a wisdom tooth! Wow... i was surprised... i thought he needed a consultation 1st but the dentist said it was "out" enough... and that if he was ready it could be extracted... so he said "ok!" cos it was really irritating him and giving lotsa problems like ulcers...

Wah, i hope i don't have to extract my tooth... quite scary ah... (i already extracted an incisor for my braces) i think watching the procedure is scarier than undergoing it... cos when he's extracting U can't see wat's going on in your mouth see... U only feel some dragging and tugging... and later your tooth's out...

ok, that's all for now!

Nothing much lah... just helped Carine fix her tagboard.... yup, its well and functional and readable already...

Oh, yesterday Ying Xim (my sec 3-4) classmate was on the straits times! As an advertisement for A*Star... haha... one full page! And she looked very good! Wenshan said she looked like a Hong Kong star... haha... I wonder if anymore of my A*Star scholarship friends will appear in the papers... haha... :)

i received a postcard from Carine yesterday! Oh, actually its a card, not a postcard... Its says "When you wish upon a star, No matter if we're near or far... ... I'll be wishing, too. Miss you" haha its meant for me, PL, Jianyang, Yaosheng and Lile... i'm supposed to let em read it... (when i see em lah)

I really like receiving cards/stuff from overseas... its real exciting to get stuff through the postman! :) Like that time Ah Ma sent me a postcard from Chicago... and Xinyi send me one from UK when she was backpacking... and when i got my acceptance package from Brown! I had to sign for it summore... my hands were really trembling as i opened the package... I wonder how my life would've turned out if I went over to Brown... Its a real nice place! Wonderful, cosy and Ivy League... not Yale or Harvard, but it really has a charm of its own!

Maybe when i grow old i can take a tour there and sit in classes.. haha...

1stly, congratulations to a very special and smart someone for getting COFM viva! :)

Ok, another thing's i saw the application form for the Rafflesian credit card! haha... U gotta be a member of ORA... then the problem is that the membership fee doesn't come free! haha... see how lah... if i feel like it i'll apply... :)

Saturday the neuro results were out... sigh... like 2/3 the class got above 81! Sigh... am i'm not one of them... haha... i guess it doesn't matter that much... cos its only 50% of 40% of 25%... so its like not much diff if U get 95 or 75 or wateva lah... but still i guess U feel something... cos like the highest is 99! And i mugged pretty much for neuroscience somemore...

On a lighter note, MicroB was out today. And i did pretty decent... so yah lah... exchange loh! Still, the world works in a weird way... i was really panicking for microb... cos not much time left to study... and i really didn't exactly finish studying... and i did better than neuro... odd right... Maybe its cos i decided to try out the "if I dunno how to do at all I'll NOT do it even if i have a gut feeling"...

Anyway, whatever the case, its over! I just have to try my best and put effort into it! The rest is up to Him lah... yup... relax man! Results aren't everything...

I end with an important quote:

To heal sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.

Now come the not so nice part.... Pros are coming.... sigh... on a happier note, both me and ah ma managed to get places for the "play patient" for the final MBBS! haha... So its good... got some form of income... haha... anyway, yesterday was microB and today was Patho! :) Glad that everything's well and over.... haha... Honestly speaking, i think i'm getting into the hang of studying again... (that's good since the Pros are around the corner) I always have this problem about having a test... then i slack for some time... and lose my momentum... then when the next test/exam comes i don't have any more urge to study! sigh... I really felt that this time is the worst time!! Sigh... last week's tests were alright... but i was really unprepared for this week's... i don't remember feeling so scared for a test before... sigh... i guess that's cos last time tests (in RJ) were never counted for the finals or the "A"s so it didn't really matter if we did well or not... (except for the promos which determine how many S papers you take) but now every test is counted towards your final grade! i guess its good cos it makes us study more and harder, and also makes us better prepared for the finals... but really.... Taking all the tests for all the M2 subjects is really tiring!

I guess i can't really complain cos all the seniors have been doing it for the past years, and they all managed... i'm just a lazy bum lah... but thankfully this time round the tests weren't killers... i won't be able to get like 80% lah, but i should be able to pass... :) actually i wasn't too slack lah... i read through all my systemic patho chapters! haha... but i really felt nervous and worried that i couldn't finish studying... Speaking of which... it all depends on what you mean by "finish"... If finish is memorising everything then well, quite difficult... haha...

I interrupt this post with a special report:
while playing maple story, i managed to get a scroll for bottom wear defence from a slime and a wizard staff from a blue mushroom! All in 2 minutes! wow... am i lucky or wat?? maybe i should go kill green mushrooms now... i may get a pan lid.. haha... earlier on i got a mithril ore! ;)

Ok, i think i shall end here for today... haha... oh, i went suntec with derrick today... and we saw so many medicine people there!! haha...

I just read Carine's post on the ORA thingy and OCBC launching a Rafflesian credit card... 1stly, according to COFM, must VERIFY the outbreak... So Carine are U sure there's such a thing?? And if there really such a thing how do I check if i'm in ORA?? Cos i know all of us are supposed to be members, but i think our class didn't hand up the forms or something... remember??? I also want the Card! haha... i know its kinda elitist, but since i'm rafflesian, who cares? haha... :) Got card better than no card right? Although i'll be quite paiseh to use it... Like U trying to tell other people that U're from Raffles like that... think i'll just keep it in my wallet to see when i'm bored.. haha...

Its been a really up and down day for me... As in not super happy n super sad but suddenly alot of things and realisations happening at once... haha...

Cos today's COFM CA! Ok, you might wonder how it links up... well, we had a Case Control study question regarding diabetes and TB, and i used diabetes as the disease instead of TB! So TB was my exposure... After the CA we checked answers and i realised my mistake! Haha, Bernard also thought diabetes was the disease... It was the way the question was phrased lah... Ah ma was trying to reassure me that it was ok... (cos i got the same Odds Ratio as them although i used the wrong disease/exposure) and i felt better... then later we asked Adeline Seow and she said that i must've done something wrong elsewhere---"2 wrongs made a right!" So i thought that i wrote the values the correct way but just labelled wrongly... and i went around whining to people how i stupid i was... sigh... and later i told derrick and he told me that it doesn't matter... U'll get the same values anyway! So i redid my table to check and i really got the same answer! I subbed all the values correctly! I even called Jack to tell him... haha... Later i was discussing with Derrick over lunch and it somehow got around to "your concept is wrong" and i got messed up again... so after lunch i rechecked it back in the library and it was correct! (I referred to my lecture notes... sure correct one)

So after going full circle my concept is right. I just swapped Disease for Exposure... sigh... And i've come to the conclusion that we should get the same values! Ok... that's all... Next time better read the question properly! And always remember that for a case control study the disease is always talked about 1st!

Just copy the following html but sub OB for < (hope you understand. I can't type in HTML... it won't post) and sub CB for >

OB/htmlCB
OBpCBOBbgsound src="http: the address of your file here.mid" loop=infiniteCBOB/noembedCB
OB/pCB

change the web address above to the web address of the song you want, paste the html into your blog's template... and you're done! The song should loop... yup... to obtain a song U can search the web for the midi file. Then scroll over the midi file and copy down the relevant address that appears in the bottom left window of your browser. (you have to do this because most of the time when U click on the song's link it just plays... it doesn't open in a new window where the address appears in the address bar on top)
