Compulsory for medical field people

I went for blood donation about a week ago (regular donor). Then this question popped up

Shouldn't all medical field people be donating blood???

All doctors, nurses, interns, medical students, nurses student maybe even pharmacist; unless of course there's medical condition that prevents you from doing so ;anemics, people with low blood pressure, blood problems...etc.

These people are meant to save lives; shouldn't they be setting a good example and donate???All these cries of the blood bank getting low on blood. How one person's blood can save 3 lives (depending on form its being used). The blood bank has been calling people up for donation, and it sure makes you wonder could all those "kind" souls who donate $$ to charity could do abit more =)

I've heard from people who are in the medical field, who refuse to donate blood, gives absurd answers to why they do not like to donate (list below), sure frustrate the h*ll out of me. They should make it compulsory for them to donate at least once a year!!!

Crappy excuse:
1. Afraid of needles
heeeelllooooooo you're a medical student you'll be poking people needles onto your patients, what $%^$%^$ excuse is that??
2. Makes me go weak
you're a doctor, you should know that this condition only last for 2-3 days, at most a week, for a healthy person.
3. I just don't like it
inconceited selfish B*****d/B***h
4. No time
then make time, I'm sure between your social life, annual leaves.. etc you could just squeeze out 1 hour for it
5. I'm having my period
then do it on another day
6. I have aids (I think this was meant as a joke, but that's not what a doctor should be replying)
you don't have one, if you're a doctor with aids... WTH are you still consulting patients?? unless the patients are confident with your work

No more dumb excuses... Go Donate Your Blood!!!!!

Valentine's day

Valentine's Day is tomorrow!!!! and Pigeon is around to celebrate with me... Yipeeeee.... (Last minute change of plans)

So what are the normal things that you would get on Valentine's???My point of view of course.... The commercial lovie dovie things like:

Roses (single rose or a bunch depending on the guy's budget)

Chocolates, preferably in heart shapes
Romantic dinner for two in some posh nosh place (always an ideal thing, cus the restaurants would have valentine's special, and you don't have to clean up if you're having dinner at home)

And if your a girlfriend like me.... I've no idea what to get... i'm so stuck and it's also a last minute thing, cus I thought I had more time (Pigeon is meant to fly home this holiday). I ended up buying something "useful" and not romantic at all......sigh... Of course there is the being common present like the chocolate option, cooking/baking for him, but I don't want that!!

This is what I got for him... hahaha [pick a guess what it is]

Aren't I a romantic fool?? =P

EEEeeewwww Part 4

Okie, I've decided to conclude that that girl is wearing a uniform to the lab..... She wore the same thing again on Monday!!! I'm too gross to think about any other things... so mind set:

"She has a dozen of this and she wears them like a uniform"

eeesh!!! what a way to bluff myself!

Adjustments

Well, I just did some adjustments to my humble little blog..... nothing massively huge changes.... enough to look a bit more bloggie! I've added a couple of my active friend's blog and my sister's as well. Feel free to check them out. =)
ciao ciao

Makes you wonder....

This is a joke I grabbed from hemmy.net. A pretty good site to pop over to have a look... =)

On the very first day, God created the cow. He said to the cow, "Today I have created you! As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will work all day under the sun! I will give you a life span of 50 years."
The cow objected, "What? This kind of tough life you want me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I'll give back to you." So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said to the dog, "What you are supposed to do is to sit all day by the door of your house. Any people that come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give a life span of 20 years."
The dog objected, "What? All day long to sit by the door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of life!" So God agreed.

On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey, "Monkeys have to entertain people. You've got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks. I'll give you 20 years life span."
The monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey faces and tricks? Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I'll give you back." So God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I'll give you a 20 year life span."
The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat, play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only for 20 years? No way, man!....Why don't we make a deal? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So God agreed.
AND THAT'S WHY....
In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and get to support the family. For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks. And for the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit by the front door and bark at people!

Eeeewwwww Part 3

Finally that gal has decided to change clothes.... =)
hahah that's about it!

EEEEEWWWWWW Part 2

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Thursday and she is still wearing the same orange t-shirt and beige pants!!! Eh gal!! it's summer right now!! It ain't winter!!!!!!There is no such thing as to wear the same clothes for the whole week and not sweat!!! She probably thinks that her E. Lauder can cover all the odour???!!! Wah Piang!!!

EEEwwwwwwww

Remember the guy that I mentioned last year, in my lab?? The one who has strong BO smell. Well, I found another one. A girl this time!!

A new Honours student arrived last Friday to begin her research. I won't mention where she is from (not being racist; from *I..n*) . What has happen to far, is that she has been wearing the same clothes, from top to bottom (literarily), since Monday... and it's now Wednesday.... she hasn't stink yet. hmmmmm under observation ; is she gonna be wearing the same thing this week... talk about saving water, detergent and electricity (if you use washing machine).....

Lots and Lots of Fun

It's been on my mind since I've started watching the entire Iron Chef Japan series... My In-Law-to-be seems to look like Masahiko Kobe. SO... I decided to use the celeb look alike program to find out (Thank's to Wei)... hahaha so 1st off lets start with my sisters and brother.

My Bro-in-law-to-be

Who is this 1st guy??? Don't think you look like him much. hahah even Chiang Kai Shek is also included. Don't you think he looks more like Kobe???

Check out www.myheritage.com for the fun!teeheehee Happy Checking It Out!!

The love that got away!!! =( sob sob

I finally got the pictures from my mobile transfered to the computer. Now I can blog about someone which I can't take my eyes off.

Was it a huge mistake of letting he go???
I don't know his name but I know where his family came from; they are Dutch.

Look at him!!! sigh.... fell in love the moment I saw him; downstairs of Myers store. I have been visiting him every chance that I've got when I go to the city..... Then one day, suddenly, he was gone.... never came back....sigh......















Breed: Keeshond.... Cost: Aus $950.....
The price had me doubting whether to get him or not..... I guess if it was $500, I just might!!just might get him..... I missed him alot... other puppies do not come close to his level of cuteness... More over he follows me around the glass cage.... how can I not like him??.....
How will he grow up to be??? Well, I Yahoo-ed it... and the below picture is how he is gonna turn out to be..... Big, Furry and Cute!!
I missed him heaps...... hope our path will cross again.... big big flying kisses to you my 小可爱!!!

Schutzenfest

What is Schutzenfest????
It's a "shooting festival" which is celebrated by German towns since the medieval times.

So lets start with a "warm and friendly" entrance welcome!!
Hahaha, nothing much to look at; not even balloons..... hmmmmm....

Well, we took a bus here, cus we were gonna drink. (Don't drink and drive). There would be police around the area breath testing all drivers for alcohol content. Getting license suspended ain't fun!! =)

Next critic:
From the infomation website "Adelaide's Bonython Park comes alive with the sounds of Oompah music, dancing from Bavarian and Black Forrest regions of Germany, and also from neighbouring Austria."

Erm... how or what should I say about this comment? Saw the aliveness of the place, heard the music, but didn't see and dances going round.. =)

Next comes the fun part!!! Like the rest of my blogging events: Food comes next!!!!

I had a schnizel burger first, but didn't have enough hands to take photo, on top of that I was too hungry to bother taking any too... =) hahaha ... Yes I pigged out a little that day, to the next menu ----->

This seriously makes me feel like Obelix; especially the second pork hog, crispy roasted pork, yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Now I need to find Dogmatix to give the bones to..teeheehee
From this (pork hog from 2 different tents):









To this (pig bones):

And wash it all down with Cider (Taste fantastic)

*Burrrrrrrppp!*

=P oops, excuse me!

After the food, where did I head off??? Well it is Schutzenfest!!! so it's of to some shooting!!

Adapted from brochure: "Competitive shooting is one of the main features of Schutzenfest because good marksmanship was essential defence of medival towns."

Well, the picture of me shooting is in D's camera, well, I have the "Aiming point paper" as proof.. hahaha, Guys are known as King and Gals are known as Queen.

Well, as you can see, my aiming is wayyyyyy off... hahhaa Only 1 bullet hit the actual black score sheet. If you notice anything odd or funny: There's one target, which doesn't even have a hole in it, that's because the bullet went off when it was still on the table =P.. hahaha The gun was too heavy and the trigger was just too sensitive. slight touch caused it to fire away!...=P

Ahhhhh... don't you just love competition??? here we have the Schuzenfest: Strong Arm Beer Stein Lifting Competition.

Here we have 10 "strong" men trying to lift a stein of beer (one litre) as long as possible. Then it was the women's turn. Rules: you have to hold the beer at shoulder length for as long as you can. In Adelaide, the men's record so far is 35 minutes and the women's is 25 minutes.

How to finish this wonderful day??? By sculling down a stein of cold German beer!!!!!! Getting a good tan (and I overburn my shoulders =P) Cheers to Schutzenfest!!!!

PS: Cute hat eh!!! I got it for $10... hahaha...

Yiiipeeeee!!!!!! Finally I get to attach a music file onto my blog!!!! hahaha....
I have to admit I am abit 电脑白痴 so this is a big acomplishment!!!! =) hehehe
ooo if anyone is interesting in singing along with this christmas carol, here is the lyrics:


Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,"throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong

That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air

Oh how they pound
Raising their sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas

On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home

(repeat from the beginning)

Ding, dong, ding, dong.

Merry Christmas to all my friends!!!

Hope you all have gotten what you've wished for for Christmas!!!

Plenty of presents underneath the Christmas tree and over stuffed Christmas stockings!!

(If there is one of course *no tree or socks for me*)

All I hope is to have a cute dog slobbering all over me!!! hehehehe..

Well I'm happy with my pigeon! so I guess the dog will have to wait!

It's begining to feel alot like Christmas!!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and BenDolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,On ein the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

Robbie!!Robbie!!Robbie!!

Robbie William's Concert! 5th December 2006 (Tuesday)
Entrance ticket!!

Oval B : That is where I am

My first ever concert!! I'm serious!! I've only been to Wu Bai and ChinaBlue and CoCo Lee 's "qian ming hui" poster/cd signing... They did sing a song or two during that session, but that hardly could be considered as a concert.

The stage far far away!! (well, it's closer than the seating seats!)

Warm warm evening.......

Great day for concert! I reached AMMI Stadium about 6pm. The show started off with "Sneaky Sound System" performing on stage. Well, the leading guy singer looked abit like Faramir from Lord of the Rings, he can't sing sing, he could only rap, which doesn't suit his image. The leading gal singer looked like scary spice; big poofy hair, cute cheeky look and a bloody good voice!!! (bad taste in clothes, maybe it is in fashion..hmmm)

Night view of the stage from where I stand!!

I know it's kinda far, but yet near....

There's two huge screens that showed the performance" on the stage. I could still see Robbie from where I stand, the size is about a hairpin's height....=P....

The pictures below was taken by a friend of a friend (who was lucky and crazy enough to be right in front-and I mean right in front-of the stage. Good for him!!!
The stage - upfront and personal with Robbie!!!
Interesting stage design, lots of lights but not much usage of the top section.
He only used it to come down (once) to the stage below at the 1st interval of the concert.

I can't remember what number he singing was for this pose:

My guess is "Let me entertain you"

The bad boy "lansi lanyong" look!!!!

Well, rumour has it that he is gay! but no matter if he is or not, he is a brilliant performer and entertainer.... Well, he did pull off smart remarks here and there. He smoked on the stage (smoke free concert) and teased the audience "Don't you just wanna punch me?"(Can't remember what he said exactly, it's along that line). Hey if you're famous and rich, you wouldn't give a damn anyway.

What do I know about Robbie?! well, I know he prefered Adelaide to Perth (he said so himself) not sure of how Melbourne and Sydney concert went!

The concert finished about 11pm.. and it's traffic jam all the way back to the city (not funny). It's been sooooo long since I was stuck in the jam (in Malaysia)......yawn yawn...

A fantastic 1st ever concert for me!!! This sure set a high bar for the next concert I'm going to!!Watch out Red Hot Chilli Pepper!!! Show me your stuff!!!

Changed??

Well, where should I begin??.... right:
6am, got a sms from my bestfriend (J) in Adelaide... can't remember much what she wrote, I just replied "I know"... then next thing I got was a sms reply that "Life is too good for me and I've changed" hmmm ...
After reading back the sms J 1st sent me, there was a question inside and not a statement =P (but there's no question mark behind that sentence)... Oii...What do you want me to answer at 6am in the morning??!!! I'm not a wake yet!!
Anyway, back to the topic... Have I changed?
Analysing begins:
1. Well, life is different compare to uni and working life.... Time ain't so flexable no more
2. Got a new bf, time spent with friends would have changed abit here and there... well, honeymoon month*s is/are already over.... I have to agree that spending time part with friends have changed (comparative speaking)
3. Anything else? I'm not quite sure...

Complaining begins (for the sake of complaining):
1. "Life is too good for me" !! what kinda statement is that?? you happy for me? or envy of me??
2. Well, I can't be an on call boyfriend standby... in uni I was from 9-5 =P

=P no offence J, moody morning..... feel like Garfield, but on a Friday.... need zzzzz.....

So have I changed? Yes I have.. drastically? Not that I know of...
Am I still straightforward? - Yes
Am I still abit crazy? - Yes
probably I should have a survey going on...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Too practical Little practical Same Little crazy Extreme crazy

or what sort of terms should I use?hhhmmm....
Oh well, me back to work....

Birthday wishes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YU HAN!!!!
Soooo sorry, =P forgotten about it, present also forgot to buy!!!! Dun worry, will give to you soon...

House warming

Preparation for my housewarming "party" on the 24th November 2006 (Friday).

So what is on the menu??? (*note: potluck style)

I'd realised that I actually didn't do any cooking =P ... Food was cooked by my dearest ...What was I doing??? hhmmmm I was buzying cleaning my living room and hiding my junk (from the living room ) into the spare room's cupboard... Hey, I had to go get ingredients for the food, beer and ice... =P teeheehee

The main dish prepared at my place was crabs!! and mango pudding...

Well, I bought the mangoes from the market.... and gelatin... and sugar....hhmm what else?

As for the crabs..

First, I need to go catch the crabs....

Well, with a net in my hands and chicken carcass with bits of flesh sticking on it as bait, it's off crabbing I go...

Where? Semaphore Jetty...

It's 2:30am, lack of sleep, low on sugar, shaky hands, therefore shaky picture!!!

Well so far 3 crabs were caught and counting!!

Reached home about 4:30am.. yawn....

Had to kill the crabs myself.... Quite quite easy....

1st: poke a chopstick right between the tummy and the tip of the butt flap.

2nd: open the flap, and peel open the whole head shell

3rd: remove the unnecessary organs

4th: chop off the pincers and the crab into twos

Not a bad harvest... Took about 2 and a half hours to catch 13 crabs..... COOL!!!

As you can see, all the crabs caught are blue swimmers...

Soft texture..... pity isn't soft shell..=P

Potluck style: so what do we have???

1. Black pepper crabs *muakz*

2. Chilli crabs *muakz*

3. TomYum meehoon *Thank: J and PY*

4. Roast chicken wings *Thank: J and C*

5. Chicken fried with black fungus *Thank: D and ZY*

6. Mango pudding *muakz*

Drinks:

1. Beer *Huggies*

2. Sangria *Thank: Jand C*

3. Coke (regular and diet) *Thank: D and ZY*

After dinner, chit chat and played charades... So was it a success??hmmm... I guess it was... haha fun enjoyable, and dishes were nearly finished......

* Thanks everyone for coming!! Hope you all had a great time!!!
