The wind just blew the advertising board clean off a tram. The struts holding it in place went all over the place and possibly cut one bystander. The glass panel of a cafe was nearly shattered by the impact.
And the tram moved on, as always.
Hoooo! Just had a nice bout of insomnia.
And surprisingly I feel ok. Must be a sign to go church. =p
Have you ever noticed how, if pronounced lazily/quickly, Norsiah sounds like nausea?
Nausea's kitchen.
Imgaine that.
Where is the aircond when you need it?
First the weather goes haywire, now the cooling system? :S
This morning it was freezing indoors while hot outside [yeah, a fire even broke out on some street], now it's just hot outside and indoors.
Wait till tonight. It'll be freezing inside and out. Hahas..
For those stressed out people who just go around in circles..
Now here's a repetitive song for you all!
With this, you can have a phone and still eat it..after all, it's a father phone, mother phone, brother phone, sister phone, grandpa phone and gramophone! And to top it all off, it's a phone with a peel! =p

Interesting. My first spam comment. Should I approve or reject it? Or just leave it to rot in my inbox?
On another note, the empower ministry thing was nice, and unsettling in a way. Nice to see that most of them enjoyed the meal (yeah, there was this guy that kept going on and on about how the chicken wasn't "natural" like what his wife got for him long ago - she went direct to the slaughterhouse to get them - but he just kept asking for more chicken! =p), and unsettling to see a 14 year old girl and her boyfriend among the homeless. Also, the fact that I couldn't quite get common ground to chat about with some of them was quite bad. Interestingly, the "chicken" guy was sitting on my right, which contrasted his parrot-y personality with the very quiet guy on my left.
Oh well..
Time for bed. Been doing stuff related to this since I woke up in the morning til now. =p Good night world!
Due to user demand, FBR has been finally translated.
"Red, swollen knuckles of both hands, with a slight tinge of pain.
Minor abrasions on knuckles and right elbow, as well as left leg.
Sore back of upper arms.
Sore back.
Feeling wonderful.
Treat and enjoy, as well as take certain measures to protect skin."
=p
Basically a rundown of the after effects of boxing without gloves.
PS. If you're reading this yeowza, pain was mainly trunk muscle aches. Surprisingly. Although for that one night I did have this enormous hammerfist. =D
Just had the first year summit thing.
Basically a feedback on year one in uni.
So, in exchange, I got:
a light lunch
2 movie tickets
a friend from JC
Not a bad trade after all =p
Erythematous skin over medial 3 knuckles of both hands
Swelling over eryhthematous area
Impossible to determine heat status of areas due to application of semi-freezing water
Minor activation of pain fibres in affected areas described above
Limited range of motion for knuckles mentioned, triggering pain reflex once threshold reached
2 superficial lacerations between the 2 most medial knuckles of the right hand
Single superficial laceration over right elbow
Pulled insertional heads of triceps of both arms, pain reflex when hyperflex arms
Sore trapezius
Multiple minor inflammatory focal spots on left lateral leg
General sense of awakeness and runner's high
Prognosis: Wonderful.
Recommendations: Application of betamethasone to knuckles, get enough rest, enjoy!
PS. Get wraps to protect epidermal layer next time.
Punch collapse elbow
Evade backhand hammer
Hope the lovers who try positions that they can't handle and their metacousins will be able to handle all the upcoming punishment without giving in and snapping.
Advancement could be a double-edged sword, cutting both ways.
Moving forward gets you closer to your goal, but also leaves certain key points exposed.
Accepting the psychosocial components in favour of a more complete medical view is all well and good, but leaves doctors wondering if there is more that they should do. Like bearing responsibility for the non-harm of the patient's psychological and social welfare.
The improvement of technology allows us to get connected easier, but presents new pitfalls - like you reading through this random post and asking where's the climax and resolution phase?
A girl lost her laptop a while back.
A guy lost his wallet recently.
A start of a beautiful relationship? I think not..
Lock your room doors at all times I guess.
"Here the doc is palpating for the breast tissue. See? This confirms that this man has gynaecomastia."
"Man-boobs?"
"We prefer gynaecomastia."
Geriatrics is depressing.
No wonder those in the health services and the elderly are at increased risk of depression. (Actually, the elderly will be at greater risk of dementia than depression in a few years time.)
Imagine, for the vast majority of people, the last few years of life (no matter when you die) will probably be wrought with a host of disabilities and impairments. And the only thing you can do for now is to delay the onset of the symptoms so that they are compressed within a shorter time frame.
Old folks without family support would probably end up in residential aged care centres, places that are like hostels. Imagine that! Living in a hostel for the rest of your twilight life! Curfew after a certain time, meals at fixed times at the canteen, no wandering out without supervision, no customisation of rooms, no more than 12 books in the room etc. There's a host lot more of restrictions believe me. Heck, even the old hall was better than this! At least you get lots of friends, plenty of jacking sessions (thanks CY for all the fun you provided =p), freedom to eat what you like whenever whereever you like (provided you're willing to go out and splurge a little..meaning if you're not YTH wahaha).
By the age of 80, $5000 is spent on average per elderly person per year. And that's just hospital costs alone! About a quarter of that amount is spent in addition for medication.
And there's this thing about frailty. A case of "reduced redundancy". Well, sounds good when you put it that way, but it just means your body is less equipped to upkeep itself properly. Anything from dehydration to a slight bout of flu would be enough to push you over the edge, to the point where you can't even move around on your own.
And yeah, although it might seem like a wonderful fantasy where a nurse helps to bathe you and feed you, I don't think it would seem all that fun when it has to be done everyday, for the rest of your life. No sirree..
And supposedly, there's some pros if you manage to transition from young and pimply to old and wrinkly. Please do tell me what they are if you do find out.
