.Random.

I think its the too-much-studying OR not-enough-studying that has fried my brains. Was studying semester 1's GIT. Decided to take a break from the Semester 2 stuffs. Later will continue with Pathology, that is after I finish GIT. Sigh. I only really really read through the bacteria part of Microbiology and Immunology. I still have Pathology, Parasitology, Pharmacology and Community Medicine waiting for me to touch. SIGH~! Can't there be more time~?!

I like Jay Chou's new song - the 2nd track (nu er hong). I find it relaxing. Hehehe.

Hhmmmm...let's see. Let's post some pics for fun~. XP

In the Centre Court of MidValley Shopping Mall. Track trip for ME208 Orientation.

Threesome~

.I'm Sick.

Woke up on a fine Sunday morning just to find out that I have cough, sore throat and a low-grade fever. On top of that, I also had a throbbing headache (that had been bothering me for the past week). The low-grade fever slowly progressed to a high fever attack and everywhere I go, I feel so cold, as if someone has turned down the temperature of the whole globe.

This morning however, I woke up and found that the fever had not left and that the cough had been worse. Sigh. I think its a viral infection. Went to see a doctor in the afternoon and the doctor gave me 4 things. A cough syrup, fever tablets, flu tablets and a mouth gurgle. Seriously, I don't know what the use of the mouth gurgle here. Isn't it supposed to be a oral hygiene thing??

I read through the cough syrup "manual" (the papers that you find neatly folded in a box) and drowsiness is listed as one of the side-effects. Sigh. There goes my "wishing-to-maximize-my-hols-for-studies" plan. Oh, when 3 of us were at the clinic (Leon, Kor Woi and I), we were so excited cause we could recognize the drug's names across the counter. Haha. We say erythromycin, azithromycin, cloxacilin, etc etc etc..we were SO amused by it. Don't know how, don't know why, but Leon just couldn't get his eyes off those drugs on the shelves. Haha.

Eating dinner now and later, have to swallow my meds~. Happy mugging people~! ^^

.PBL Trigger.

During a school outing, a 15 year old boy ate a peanut butter sandwich. Within minutes he complained of itching and tingling around the mouth, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, and colicky abdominal pain. Then he vomiteed and became pale. He was rushed to the emergency department of a local hospital and his mother was contacted by telephone. She indicated that he has a past history of severe urticara after eating peanut butter.

On examination he had urticara, laboured breathing, mild cyanosis and marked hypotension with a rapid, weak and thready pulse. Auscultation of chest revealed tachycardia and wheezing.

This, is this week's PBL - Anaphylacsis. The second last PBL of the semester. Sigh. 12am now. Better start mugging. Have a great day everyone~! ^^

.Timetable.

It's 4am in the morn and I'm halfway through my Autacoids notes now. Histamines~. So many names yet so little brain space. So much to learn yet so little time. A few days ago I was flipping my file, looking for some things which I had to confirm as I was recalling some facts. There it was, my timetable facing me the moment I flipped open my black A4 file *bought from Carrefour*. My timetable which now consist of only 3 pages-the current week, one more week of lecture and d last page was the Q&A week where summative 2 sits comfortably in a corner just at the end of that Q&A week.

So little time left. one more week of lecture and that's it. That is how much time we had left of learning things in Semester 2. 12 weeks worth of learning all sorts of things ranging from the pretty and astonishing microbials to the horrible horrible non-sensical names of various drugs across the medical world. So much that we had learnt in these 2 semesters, and yet, I still feel like I know nothing, still feel like as if my brains were as empty as they were before I enter this uni.

Autacoids notes, consisting of a total of 34 slides and so far, I had only finished 5 out of 34 of them. I know, I'm slow. Sigh. What to do? My eyes are yelling for rest, my brain's rebelling and it keeps drifting away after a few minutes, my head is heavy, my muscles are hurting especially my back. It's giving me a lot of problems especially when I sit too long. Discomfort at the lower end of my spine - diagnose. Hahaha.

It must be the "too-much-studying" that's getting onto me. Lolx. Was watching House-Season 3 just now. It was a case on the lady who died from a Staphylococcus aureus infection because House and his team of doctors misdiagnose and barbequed the patient's immune system, resulting in her not being able to fight against the infection, septicemia and stuffs had occured and she died within 24 hours. Sad case, yes.

Anyways, better get back to study. Time is seriously running short. *Now my neck hurts~*

.CSU.

For the second time out of 5 CSUs (I think?) We had Dr. Francis Achike. Hehe. Yea, he's strict, unpredictable and may point at you anytime asking for answers to his questions, but then, my group (in room 26) enjoyed his company very much. He's funny in CSU, but not a person to mess with in lectures. He can be very nice and enjoyable, provided that you know his stuffs.

Sigh. Finished Anti-microbial Therapy notes 1 & 2, left with part 3. Autonomic Pharmacology notes, I finished part 1 out of 3 parts. I just simply don't get the muscarinic and nicotinic part and how it all link to parasympathetic and sympathetic. Sigh. All those cholinergic and adrenergic stuffs.

It's 10.20am in the morning. After this would have to go do my PBL and then mug on Autonomic Pharmacology. This week's PBL is about a boy getting Hypersensitivity Type 1- Anaphylactic Reaction after eating a peanut butter sandwich. Hmmm. Better get back to work, I suppose. Hehe. Exam's in 3 weeks time. Time's running short, but there's still a whole lot more to cover.

I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
-Revelation 3:8-

.Seek First His Kingdom.

Fell asleep in one of the library's studying cubicle. Sigh. I need something to keep me awake, something to keep me hyper and something that can take the word "sleep"/"tired" temporarily out of my dictionary. Am right here blogging because I can't seem to move on from the previous slides on page 5 on my anti-microbial therapy notes. All the bombarding medicine names makes things worst and harder to handle. Must finish Pharmacology today~! Jia you~!

25“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[d] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

-Matthew 6:25~34-

.Mighty to Save.

Everyone needs compassion

A love thats neverending

Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness

The kindness of a savior

The hope of nations

*chorus*

Saviour he can move the mountains

My God is mighty to save

He is mighty to save

Forever author of salvation

He rose and conquered the grave

Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me

All my fears and failures

Fill my life again

I give my life to follow

Everything i believe in

Now i surrender

*chorus* x2

Shine your light and let the whole world see

Were singing for the glory of the risen king JESUS x2

*chorus* x2

Shine you light and let the whole world see

Were singing for the glory of the risen king JESUS x6
