The Old Journal Of Medicine
--- Written by Batman and Robbins
A new research has recently uncovered that continous straining of eye muscles while reading small fonts actually makes you amnesic. In a study of 82 Pharmacy students done over this week, it was reported that nearly 99.97% of pharmacy students who were exposed to reports in small fonts concurrently reported a great memory deficieny in grasping important concepts like Pharmacokinetic properties, Adverse Effects and Which Antibiotics Cause Pseudomembranous Colitis.
Validation of this research confirmed the direct link between the straining of eye muscles and memory loss. Said Professor Tan, "When the eye muscles are being stretched to the maximum, especially when reading, it pulls onto the memory-forming centres of the brain, leading to inability to absorb and retain information." The study was conducted on 82 pharmacy students who were forced to read 12 sets of Dosage Form Design notes in the absurd space of less than one week, at the same time attempt to memorize 13 sets of Pharmacology notes.
"It is ABSURD! How to DO IT?!" screamed a student. The others agreed. Another contributing factor to the strained eye muscles was the prolonged staring at the computer screen the previous week due to excessive watching of webcasts. The transparency magnification kept zooming in and out haphazardly, causing increased strain on the eyes. Some students even reported nystagmus during the Med Chem test while looking left and right too quickly between the Original Drug and Prodrug to determine the changes in the functional groups.
When this matter was brought up, Kat Zong Eyewear Pte Ltd offered the Pharmacy students a 50% storewide discount on eyewear, hard and soft lenses and spectacles. Get a pair of new lenses and get a Free Astigmatism Checkup! Cos you will Need IT MORE after DFD! The catch is that, well, you will have to prepare your own ophthalmic cleaning lens solution. By Aseptic Manufacturing, no less. Yup and you have to do the sterility test also.

Haven;t been blogging for a long while. my best excuse would be school and sloth. BUT then.....i owe today a special place on my blog. it's one of the things i want to jot down and remember, and be reminded of.
today/sunday, was the First ever Singapore Salsa Open, organised by Union Square and a few other organisations. it's from 7 to 3am but i reached there at 8pm, thinking i was missing something.... rushed there.... only rushed by walking, couldn't do much about the bus... but the bus wasmoving quite fast, it was a good sign, it just bodes well. and all the time i had this nagging feeling that i should not be so happy, cause being happy means that i expect the rest of the night to be happy, and expecting can disappoint a person, terribly.
yes, so i got there "early" the competition starts only at 10.30. and i met Eugene, and then Qingru....YAY! i was so happy that i didn't come to the party alone. now i have friends, and then Bernard appeared... made me very happy too, coz he's the only guy that can make me do double spins, triple spins and even quadraple spins. yes, and that is without feeling dizzy and falling sideways and all. so we went to the hawker centre to eat... at the esplanade. i had my happy BBQ chicken wings with lots of lime juice sprinkled on top. after that was SAlsa, salsa, salsa. at first, i did a bit of observing, check how good the other girls are... pick up some moves... see which guys were very good and those who were good, (good means, i can dance with them without feeling too pressured) then i danced with eugene. eugene is okay lah... he's on his way to master his basics, but can't do much variation yet. while dancing with eugene, i caught sight of this guy who passed me a sympathetic glance, one saying, i know you are better than this, it's just the guy. but too bad, he brought his girlfriend, i was contemplating whether to ask him to dance with me after this. asking guys to dance with me is a very rare thing that i don't usually do.... so the guys whom i ask to dance with me better oblige... for their own good....
the dance floor was quite big but it soon became very crowded, everybody coming from all the clubs and salsa hunts to DXO, everybody trying to fight to impress the others.
i enjoyed dancing with bernard, and the good thing is he can control the amount of space that we are dancing in. like if there are many people around, he can pull me nearer, and make me do smaller steps....the Other good things is, i never need to ask him to dance with me. haha =) so he enjoyes dancing with me too =)
and it was because i was dancing with such a good partner that this really charming guy noticed me, we were dancing sort of next to each other. and i guess he spotted me spinning quite a bit. and he's so cool, at first he wore a shirt, then when the night got later and he was sweaty, he took it off! and change into a sleeveless t-shirt, which made his muscles all the more atttractive. did i mention that he danced really well? whenever i'm not dancing, i'll look out for him, examine his moves and also the girl he's dancing with.... learn, so that, if he ever was goig to ask me to dance with him, i won't do too badly from the rest of the girls he has chosen to dance with. and i think, i've seen him in NUS before. Hope, hope.... that i can see him again.
basically that guy was the highlight of the whole night, but dancing with bernard contributed alot too. he bought me cosmopolitian, really good recommendation. and sent me "home". let me give you a lowdown on this fantastic guy.
1) HE'S A PROFFESSOR, PART-TIME, AT NUS.
2)he dances well, did all sorts of ballroom and latin dances before.
3) when he was doing his phd at cornell, he did bar-tending, and directing of dramas, that's so cool. keeping in mind he's doing some physics computer based research at biopolis.
4) he was our grand grand grand senior of USP, it was called talent development programme.
5) he's part of BINGO and he won a award from NUS for being one of the early successful entrepreneurs. i forgot what is it exactly.
6) he owns a Ipod Nano....!!!!!
(that last point is actually for aiwen to see)
yup yup, not to mention the fact that yanqing and jianliang won the salsa open competition. agnes must be so proud of jianliang. and they are all celebrating at Xenbar now... i should have joined them, i just realised i have NO classes tomorrow!!!
THIS IS JUST TO SHARE MY JOY TO EVERYONE WHO DIGS DANCE, OR JUST TALENTED GUYS.

This is a mental note to Grace:
your forte has always been chemistry, work harder for it, you're getting there.... anyway you still have to work hard for the bio stuff like pharmaco and patho because you'll need to use these knowledge in future. Remember, exams are coming, you can screw your India paper if you have no time.

In an attempt to justify the money I spent on the black eyed peas concert, I must blog about them to further make a memory of it.
To start off, you see the roads to the indoor stadium slowly lighting up by the headlights of taxis. Then you see a sea of people holding cups of Tiger beer, Heineken and Jack Daniels queueing up to move into the stadium. After that you enter this cycle of drinking, queueing for toilets and peeing, while waiting for the concert to start.
There was also a beat-box competition, which this 15-year-old boy won due to his wittiness and successful incorporation of monkey noises into his routine. It was, after all, a monkey business world tour concert.
the long wait for the concert to start paid off when Fergie finally appeared, with the rest of the band, and showed us her butt shaking skills. It was,undoubtedly, better than what I can remember from Beyonce. They started with Hey Mama, and after that the crowd basically went crazy screaming and dancing. The Peas really made the concert interactive and proved their stuff. Me thinkst Fergie can sing in the stadium, without a microphone. Her voice is SO powerful!!
It was the second concert i've attended in my life and I feel one black eyed peas concert is enough for a decade of living, not a lifetime. I can do with some destiny's child...

Patience:
I've always received hints that i'm a rather impatient person. Like when i'm in a rush, I say "excuse me" in a very callous way, as if i've said it a few times and my plea hasn't been heard. But from my point of view, i'm in a rush! For goodness sake, I would really appreciate if I can save whatever time I have, the last thing I need would be you blocking my path on a crowded road because you are chatting on the phone. Then if I whisper "excuse me" I dun think you'll hear. So to save all my whispering effort, I just say it, in a more audible volume. Then I come across as rude..... But hey, who was the one who bothered to say excuse me instead of pushing my way through? Who was the one strolling on a busy road?
Yesterday, my mom had a function to attend, so I had to take care of dinner. So I took the chance to prepare a western meal for my siblings. I had only 45mins to drive to the shopping centre, park, buy, pay, drive back...so naturally I wanted everything to be done as fast as possible right?
As I was going at fast speed down the rows, a group of kids were playing catching at the intersection. I told them to excuse me, then their mom came over in a strict tone saying, you must be patient with them, they are children. Then I thought, i'm one too! And more importantly, i'm in a rush so I was short of telling the woman to bring her children to play catching at the PLAYGROUND!!!
Subsequently, many things happened according to murphy's law. Things like, the supermarket ran out of lettuce, the driver in the car in front of me was talking on the phone, thus his car was stridling 2 lanes, including the right most lane.. Then we were taken over by a Kancil, the smallest Proton car, which implicitly means its very slow. Then the driver suddenly opened his door, while driving, to tighten his door. At the junction, we had to wait for an old lady to drive cross before we could go (gap between her and next car not enough for 2 cars to cross simultaneously). Of course all this happened while the clovk was ticking away.

While studying for Pharmacology last week, i thought:
Exams were meant to indicate how much students have learnt. People usually translate this to the ability of the student to understand/memorise concepts. However, it is also a parameter for a teacher's ability to impart knowledge. In university, the administration thinks that exams measure a student's interest and, more relevantly, their ability to take notes in class. Of course, one can argue that what the lecturer fail to impart, the student can make up by diligent reading. but basically i think all uni students can do with one month of intensive dictation training before coming to uni. i need it.
empirical results show that my hypothesis is correct.
my hypothesis is: results are dependent on the students ability to take notes in class.
the results: CAP scores of my pharmacy class vary by cliches. assuming that a certain cliche all share the same notes they have taken down in class and notes are not transferred between cliches, then, my hypothesis is true.

am going to continue salsa. they say must attend 100 basic salsa classes and lots of intermediates and performance classes before we can go out for performances.... isn't so EXCITING??? and i'm doing some super saver deal now, 8 hours per week for $50....
excited excited, but school how?

Well, rag is over. it's amazing how i always find something to squander my holidays on, i love being a student. i don't like working. maybe that's why they pay you, and that's why we pay to be students (i know this is DUH) So this year i've decided to spend my time at RAG. and it's over. and school starts, and i want to do ISM, and it will be suicide. the only things i can remember about rag is the sweating, more sweating, and my injuries. i got hurt everytime i went for rehearsals. first were blue-blacks, then carpet burns on my knees. subsequently, it's more injuries on the same knee, before the previous one had time to heal. then was a big hole in my feet, coz somebody stepped in the middle of my feet during dressed rehearsal. and that means, she was wearing sillettos.
then it was the sweating, i sweat easily, so i sweated all the time i was in the costume and eventually stunk, terribly. was terrible!! and then have to were sillettos, and not only that, we had to dance on tiptoes in sillettos, coz of the field.....my legs were so sore, i only felt slightly sorry to slip off after rag, before helping them pack the chairs and clear the backdrop. and i was so tired, i slept from 2/3pm, all the way to 11 am on sunday. then i woke up, and massaged most parts of my feet and estimated the "damages".
the consolation is the company. lots of nice and interesting people from rag. good, more people for Salsa now...
TODAY we went KTV-ing, they are all good singers...i was easily the worst, but it was very fun although now, i'm very tired, need sleep again.

Me and jeremy were walking around in the city....not a very common thing, actually very rare, yah so we decided to walk around millenia walk. THEN, we found this nice waterfall thingy and there was nobody there admiring it, despite it being the weekend...So nice right? especially with that girl in blue standing there.....
then there was this BIG shop what sells very ex and delicious tidbits... they have honey chicken flavoured potato chips and MOST-flavour beans...not every-flavour like that in harry potter. there's popcorn flavour, banana split, peachy pie, coconut, watermelon, the cinnamon and liqourice. the last 2 are for forfeits...it's terrible tasting

I FOUND SOME WONDERFUL QUOTES FROM SIN CITY!
[while holding a razor to Jackie Boy's face]
Dwight: I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman.
Jack Rafferty: You're making a big mistake, man. A *big* mistake.
Dwight: You made a big mistake yourself... you didn't flush.
[Dwight shoves Jackie Boy's head into a toilet filled with urine]
********************
[a grenade lands at his feet]
Dwight: And everything seemed to be going so well.
**********************
Dwight: The valkyrie at my side is shouting and laughing with the pure, hateful, bloodthirsty joy of the slaughter... and so am I
----later on----
Dwight: My warrior woman. My Valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. there's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will.
i like this one for the violent streak i have in me
********************
Marv: I had a fight with some cops.
Lucille: Didn't happen to kill any of them, did you?
Marv: Not that I know of, but they know they been in a fight, that's for damn sure.
MArv is the most corny character around, my favourite.
******************************
Marv: Modern cars - they all look like electric shavers.
************************
Cardinal Roark: Will that bring you satisfaction, my son? Killing a helpless, old, fart.
Marv: Killing? No. No satisfaction. Everything up until the killing, will be a gas.
************************
Marv: She smells like angels ought to smell.
So what do angels smell like?
*********************************
Marv: [at his own execution] Would you hurry it up? I haven't got all night.
******************************
John Hartigan: I take out his weapons.
[shoots Junior's hand]
John Hartigan: [pauses] Both of them.
[shoots Junior's groin]
*******************************
Dwight: She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwight: Miho. You're an angel. You're a saint. You're Mother Teresa. You're Elvis. You're God. And if you'd gotten here about ten minutes sooner, we'd still have Jackie-Boy's head.
Miho is the coolest prostitute in the show, japanese with sharp swords and superb marksmanship.
****************************
Dwight: Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it.
**************************
Becky: I don't do group jobs.
Jack Rafferty: Come on, get in the car, baby. We'll just talk. It'll be nice.
Becky: I don't do talk jobs either.
*************************
Cop: There's no sign of him!
Marv: Here's a sign!
[hits cop in groin with hatchet]
*************************
this is the funniest part... the whole theatre laughed..
Jack Rafferty: [with the slide of his own gun stuck in his forehead, and a one of Miho's shuriken in his butt, while crawling away on his hands and knees] Don't laugh, it's not funny!
***************************
[while holding a razor to Jackie Boy's face]
Dwight: I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman.
Jack Rafferty: You're making a big mistake, man. A *big* mistake.
Dwight: You made a big mistake yourself... you didn't flush.
[Dwight shoves Jackie Boy's head into a toilet filled with urine]
********************
[a grenade lands at his feet]
Dwight: And everything seemed to be going so well.
**********************
Dwight: The valkyrie at my side is shouting and laughing with the pure, hateful, bloodthirsty joy of the slaughter... and so am I
----later on----
Dwight: My warrior woman. My Valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. there's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will.
i like this one for the violent streak i have in me
********************
Marv: I had a fight with some cops.
Lucille: Didn't happen to kill any of them, did you?
Marv: Not that I know of, but they know they been in a fight, that's for damn sure.
MArv is the most corny character around, my favourite.
******************************
Marv: Modern cars - they all look like electric shavers.
************************
Cardinal Roark: Will that bring you satisfaction, my son? Killing a helpless, old, fart.
Marv: Killing? No. No satisfaction. Everything up until the killing, will be a gas.
************************
Marv: She smells like angels ought to smell.
So what do angels smell like?
*********************************
Marv: [at his own execution] Would you hurry it up? I haven't got all night.
******************************
John Hartigan: I take out his weapons.
[shoots Junior's hand]
John Hartigan: [pauses] Both of them.
[shoots Junior's groin]
*******************************
Dwight: She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwight: Miho. You're an angel. You're a saint. You're Mother Teresa. You're Elvis. You're God. And if you'd gotten here about ten minutes sooner, we'd still have Jackie-Boy's head.
Miho is the coolest prostitute in the show, japanese with sharp swords and superb marksmanship.
****************************
Dwight: Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it.
**************************
Becky: I don't do group jobs.
Jack Rafferty: Come on, get in the car, baby. We'll just talk. It'll be nice.
Becky: I don't do talk jobs either.
*************************
Cop: There's no sign of him!
Marv: Here's a sign!

i just returned from watching my first RA show!! SIN CITY.
it's quite good for a first, because i know of people who were unhappy about the first RA show they watched...i like it a lot... although the lines were corny, but there wasn't an overdose of it. and it's funny too, funny in times of very gross scenes, prevents the faint-hearted from getting nightmares. and yet, it's very interesting, the different ways and styles of being murdered. haha, i think most of the characters on the show get killed in a gruesome way rather than the usual shoot and die... somehow, one shot NEVER kills a person. and it's very very difficult to kill either very bad guys or very good guys.
i give the writer of the comic, Frank Miller, a thumbs up for linking the characters and stories together...
FAV character: Miho (the cool jap prostitute with the swords and superb marksmanship)
One thing to note.... all the girls looked terrific!!!very good, considering most of them are prostitutes, wearing a minimal at all times

Me had a fulfilling day yesterday...i actually got to printing out the notes for my usp module: india, and earlier on, cleaned out my whole kitchen.... together with another of my clustermates. all the leftovers for last semester... and who knows, even last year...jeremy was there telling me to dump everything on sight... but i simply could bring myself to do it... it was such a BIG waste! i throw unopened packers of cheese (ok this one might very expired) and bottles of sparkling juice (sparkling juice leh) and spices and unexpired frozen cod fish fillet....so wasted... then again, one wouldn't be at ease eating those stuff...
SO, i threw them all away. had a good time hearing the bags of garbage topple from the 6th floor all the way down to the basement though...hahaha
then i went for Rag practice... can tell you that it's going to be a lot of fun performing and dressing up for it... it's very fun.. haha, cept that lil red patch on my knee which appears again after the earlier one fades away...THEN we tried cartwheels...the kind that the guy have to hold you up for a few seconds, hang in the air with your legs straight and up... and then come down...it's a big big challenge to me coz i've never done gymnastics or ballet before...and not surprisingly, many funny things happened. i was told, that once, i didn't catch enoguh momentum to go up, and it was very funny watching my legs try to wiggle up... and i was held up so long, my face turned red... from embarrassment and also the effect of gravity, pulling blood to my face.
had a long prac, then went for intermediate with another rag dancer who's also very on about salsa... we skipped dinner just to stay on. in the end when i got back to pgp, jeremy pulled me to the gym, without food. but it's good...at least i didn't do any running... and i had a very very good sleep.
For now, i have to read India, finish the preceptorship essay (should have done it long ago) and read Shadow of the giant...it's getting to difficult for me to understand. sigh

Blog
Today is a day worth starting to blog again. 1st reason being I didn't sleep in till late, instead I got up and went to teach tuition. Thinking of how valuably i've invested my sleep in....I feel happy.
I got my handphone cover problem solved too. (i accidentally ripped the top part off the upper side of the hp) Basically, I got a new red/maroon cover...now my handphone looks like new!
And I helped Jeremy solve his hp problem too..and I got an IR adaptor, so now I can continue taking snap shots and photoblog them!
Best part, i'm making good use of all my electronics: my Ipod shuffle to keep me entertained on the way to woodlands, my pocket pc to blog whenever I like. . . . this is the life man!!

since i was commenting/complaining to my friend about this, i might as well record it on my blog as well. for the records.
last week or some time "long ago" i went for a vendor training session conducted by guardian for activa and wenken. FYI, activa carries things like cellulite max and activawhite, "the extra effective whitening cream, which promises to lighten your skin by one tone after the first use, and effects last up to one week!" and Wenken has products like Glucoscare tea (which blocks your glucose intake and sensory receptors of glucose) and tongkat ali PLUS. be sure not to mistake this with the $60 beikin tongkat ali PURE extract which my outlet has been running out of stock of.
anyway, back to what i was saying, the activa reps were somewhat convincing, they managed to prove their claims to us, though some of us still have suspicions about it.
Sidetrack: activawhite contains titanium dioxide. this might aid in the whitening illusion, as it's white, any residue left on the skin contributes to the whitening experience. furthermore, not many people use scrubs on their hands. while a minority of us might use scrubs twice a week on our face, to "renew our skin", we don't really do that for our hands right? so i think, the effects would be less obvious if the whitening cream was used on the face. whitening by exfoliation that is...like who will apply the cream to half your face and compare before and after...even if you think it doesn't work, you won't risk your face for that.
back to what i was saying again, just when i was thinking the vendor training session wasn't all promo/publicity and fluff, the tongkat ali reps, of sorry, i mean wenken reps, came in and proved what we believed earlier true.
----excerpt----
i was freaking irritated at the tongkat ali reps. i asked about why their tongkat ali PLUS is so effective, they say, it's coz the contains TCM which strengthens your kidneys. then why does strengthening one's kidneys help testosterone production/rid fatigue...(speculating some theory on yin and yang balance coupled with five elements) he said, no no no, it's not that. but later when he showed me the product write-up, it was exactly what he denied.
not to mention claims like "no known contraindictions with western medicines" which one might interpret as: so studies have been done but no contraindications have been found. however, in actual fact it's: we never did any clinical trials, we just believe so. and their statistics has a sample size of 35.... that doesn't even allow central limit theorem to take effect.
