scientific blabbing

ive started, okay it a little too late to say start, on my dissertation paper
its all about endometriosis and I almost know too well the effects of this mysterious condition on women.
ive seem really strong and cheerful ladies reduce themselves to tears during checkups because of the discomfort and pain that it brings...and the countless ladies out there who have monthly drastic pain that warrants a MC all probably have some form of endometriosis.
the only problem: endometriosis diagnosis for sure is via laparoscopy which is a day surgery.....:(
so most docs prefer to treat symptoms and ignore unless it gives problems like infertility or cysts since it is benign.
okay maybe i should put it the other way. patients prefer less invasive measures for minor stuffs that isnt life threatening. ah thats better.
and this simple yet mostly unknown condition is driving me nuts now.....!? tsk tsk

anyways... i am hooked on this book called "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre.
interesting how common sensical stuffs that I have been rambling on at home is all in this book, and wait~ theres more!!! so ive been wise to stay clear of all those rubbish and save my money on other enjoyments~ ha!
although i do believe in TCM, and other stuffs not from the traditional 'Western' medicine area, there are certain hocus pocus still all out there waiting to catch its prey and it would seriously do u well to use some brain before jumping into anything~ Yeah u feel good....have u heard of placebo effect?? tsk

oh... not forgetting that ive got a wiki on Post natal syndrome thats really bugging me plus something interesting Tourette Syndrome for presentation~ ha... thats gonna be fun.
but DAMN 2/3 are O&G related~ I just love my job~ ha!!!

Final Lap to Graduation

Dear Family and Friends....

I always find it difficult to put things in words and I always worry too much with what they would bring...
Its was even harder for me when I first decided to leave Singapore to do my final year and graduate in UK.

First of all, it was the money involved. It wasnt a small sum and trust me, I am not someone who likes to have attention such as money to myself~

and then it felt really selfish knowing that my family felt real uneasy with all that preparation and stuff going on but still having to put them through it all just so things can move on.

and finally when its almost time to leave, I realise that my friends can be affected too~
well.... i didnt expect myself to feel so attached too. and the farewells are really touching.
its the same reason I dont really like to celebrate my birthday cos it feels too over for people to come out and do stuffs for me. ha...

I have to APOLOGISE to my friends. Most of them anyway... :(
I announced my departure too late and I simply cannot find time for everyone. Cos i know my family needed me the most and I want to be there for them.
And im sorry to alot of you who have to know that Im already in UK from fb or this blog....
T.T sorry.....


Well school's fine so far, except for the fact that I had to survive sunday, monday and tuesday without my baggages.... they were delayed la... sianded....
and its my first time in a damn cold place!!! luckily i had some warm clothing with me on the plane...

the people were nice to me knowing my plight so in a way it was a blessing~
it was really crazy when it came to the choosing modules, meeting my new classmates and well getting to know Bradford and direction and all~
Im still getting used to the cold and well~ consolation's that i finally know how it feels to get blown off ur feet! lol!! yesh the gale here IS that strong!

unfortunately complains of course I have.
maybe this place is really huge~ I had a difficult time contacting the people at the airlines and anywhere else for my baggage matters, I finally received a reply last thursday i believe...
now still waiting for second reply.....

the hostel was ok~ actually i like it cos its centralise and really close to almost everything!
however.... the laundry area still setting up!!! that means more hand washing for me.... aww man!!!!
my room has sucky view as compared to my flatmates from the other side which is absolutely fabulous, i have to pass through 4 doors technically to get to the kitchen or bathroom...and i have to swipe cards just to get there and guess what? they dont have to cos its at their area!!! AND best of all I have to cross a common corridor carrying all my barang barang to the toliet everytime i shower.... sian..... inconvenient la!!! and my area is where the UBar is... its got no privacy and noisy, well sometimes, and well the carpark's there so i guess it can be smelly sometimes from the smoking and fumes. so i keep my windows closed lo....

i want to change room but that empty room is right beside the toliet and probable has restricted view cos its sunk between 2 walls as from my research.... aw shyt la!!!

my only consolation is that this room is located where the sun and moon can shine.. everyone say its great cos where theres sun its cosy in this weather. i guess so... ive set myself up in this room so i guess I could deal with this lo... otherwise i'll ask for a change late next year just for the fun of it la...? lol

and the hostel has got crazy people who like to set off the fire alarm.
its a regulation we clear the room or else kenna fined or even kicked out lo...
its a wonder y they havent catch anyone yet cos its the 5th time in 2 weeks...!
and last night as horrible la... it was so damn cold my knees are knocking at each other, I was shivering like hyopthermic patient and I cannot talk for nuts cos i wa shaking so much.
By the time I got back to the room, I cant fall asleep and my limbs were so numb from the wind and cold of the night....

ok

i gotta leave this for now...
will update soon!! promise!

I should be very free, very poor, very happy.

BUT

I am very busy, very very poor and okay~ happy still.
It was the Zoo, then the Science Centre and a lot more places which i should visit to get some overdue businesses taken care off.
And my darlin guitar still needs some taking care off.
although its cheap and a hand-me-down but still i love it.
Im already low on cash and really i can understand how those people feel when they are outta job and really low on funds..

I have no life what so ever....
although what does it really mean to say 'I Got Life'?
really ???

anyways... there are some things like I realy should lose some weight that i think i could take care off... although im the typical lazy women, thats y im ugly and fat harhar!!!

top agenda to take care of.

H1N1 aka SWINE Flu

Being the ahNGee thats been interested in these mandane stuffs....
its time that i recover that me thats interested and kaypo in these stuffs~ lol...

i got a confession to make first of all...
i DONT read newspapers nor watch the news...
so... ha..... i always am the last to know~
STUPIDITY right....?

anyways~ my ma was asking me about the H1N1 virus this morning.
including if we could eat pork at all if theres a chance that the pigs may be infected for all we know.

being the smart ass me, i ask her if she made a mistake with H5N1? H1N1 doesnt ring a bell!
ha~ i was so wrong lo~ when she said PIG i realise somethings wrong.
chinese paper. wah~ its been a long while since i read chinese papers. this time i devoured it greedily.

okay i concluded that:
1. It should be okay to eat COOKed pork since heat should do the job, and besides, whats the acid in our tummy for right?
(i was right~! However, it is essential to cook meat properly. A temperature of 70C (158F) would be sure to kill the virus. )

2. H1N1, sounds like an ancient strain...
(i was right again!! HA! it went back to 1918~ ancient right?!)

3. Symptoms.... probably like flu lor~ and shyt... im sneezing away NOW. uhoh...
(H1N1 is the same strain which causes seasonal outbreaks of flu in humans on a regular basis. Symptom of swine flu in humans appear to be similar to those produced by standard, seasonal flu. )

and what made me pretend to be this smart ass now?
the news on TV lah~ the magic box that got us glued all day on the couch rocketing the sales of chips and everything unhealthy.
mexico. phrase 4. temerature checks at the airports....

walau!!! phrase 4.... sustained human to human trasmission...
xiao liao lah...... scary like hell lor~ felt like SARs period again..
man am I glad I finally quit NOW! whew....

okay~ so this H1N1 aka SWINE FLU is like cousins to the H5N1 aka AVIAN FLU.
so these cousins probably share the same surname but are different family lo~
LOL~ synical expression...

so we've got an extension on the H5N1, H5N2 which is known to have infected people.
and H1N1 seemed jealous, jealous enough to want to catch up: The World Health Organization has confirmed that at least some of the cases are a never-before-seen version of the H1N1 strain of influenza type A, it contains genetic material that is typically found in strains of the virus that affect humans, birds and swine.

like all viruses, Flu viruses have the ability to swap genetic components with each other, thats means the new and improved version of H1N1 is a rojak of different versions of the virus.
Rojak in viral terms is bad bad news for us. in more common terms is mutation ar~!
mutation leh~ means new version, stronger, meaner and more deadly usually, unless its stupid or something (usually the failed versions "die out" la~ darwin's law muahahahah......)

so all my darlings out there, please load yourselves with vit C with workouts or something hor~ no more happy hours and late nights if u could help it alright?! build up ur immunity first! its always better to be on the defense than offense lah~ same in medical terms trust me~
