1 month

Today marks my one month stay here in Ireland. Isn't it amazing that time flies? I will be back in about three months time. Really looking forward to that day man! I will be going back to Singapore to celebrate Chinese New Year, most importantly, i am able to collect red packets. Hmm, i wonder if the amount that i will receive this year will be lesser due to recession. >< Oh well, when recession kicks in, everyone just have to save save and save! Erhem, our dear yu seems to be on a spending spree ya! ha, bought so many cds! whee, can leech from 大鱼圆师太了!eh, this name is so much better right yu? haha.

Hmmm, lots of stuff have been happening. Some good yet some bad. As for now i am really worried about some fella man. Hope that everything will go well for that person. Haiz, like what co-co said, its all up to the person to face his/her own issues bravely ba. Can only hope for the best now i suppose!

Hmmm, you guys are going to have your exam really soon le. Must do well and study hard ya! Eh, yu you better get your honors man, if not you will be below our dear RQ xiao jie le! haha, still kind of stunned by her posts. However, yu may be right man. She might only be joking and maybe i read too much into it. oh well, whatever the case is, i dont really bother! haha, thanks colin for that sexy comment! haha, bitch of the year goes to CoC0 *clap clap* Lastly, the roundest object of the year goes to 大鱼圆师太! haha, sorry i just couldn't resist it. ^^

Today i was being suan by ken and wee chin man! zzz, the said that i weigh heavier than the horse that always run pass my hostel. NO NO NO, there is no stable in my hostel. Its just some random police patrolling the area routine. haha. eh, yu dont get so high man, its a huge white horse with a little black spots here and there. haha, wanna recruit it for you AP movie? haha.

Dear! i know that these few days you have been really sian! I know how it feels like to do everything and yet others get the credit. I suppose this is part and parcel of a person's life. You lose some and you gain some i suppose. For your situation, what you have gained is the experience while doing the projects! haha, so you are still on a winning side ya!

Anyway, really sorry that i cant really spend much time with ya this week as the schedule for my timetable was really bad. Sadly, clinical competency will kick in next week! my wednesdays are no longer holiday le. >< oh well, we can still msn or sms each other ya? hehe.

每当我一人孤独的在街上徘徊时,我未成感受到丝毫的孤单与寂寞。那是因为我时时刻刻都能感受到你对我的想念!没错,想念真的是会呼吸的痛,但是互相想念却是很幸福的。对我而言,你就像风在说话,常常顺
着我方向。 你就像海中的波浪,堆着我成长。你让我感受到一种我未感受过的幸福。这感觉实在太踏实了。我内心里的情感不是三言两语就能表达出的,简单的讲法就是这感觉太奥妙了!

但我担心的是我会不知不觉的过份依赖你。每当我有一点点想着你,就会有一点点想哭泣,对你的爱我是非常珍惜的。我们别让幸福被距离拉得太遥远好吗?无论你有多么的伤心或难受,你要记得我的存在喔!我疯狂的爱上你了! 哈哈!那就让我在幸福车站等着你的到来吧!

dearling! haha, hope you feel better after reading this post ya! always look on the bring side of life k? ^^

eh crap! its going to be 2 am le! better stop now and hit the bed! night guys! hope to see you all soon!!!

IQ

Ever wondered what exactly is IQ? One definition of IQ is the mental age over the chronological age multiply by a hundred. However, this equation only applies to children. As we age, we should no longer look at the IQ score. In fact, we should look at the percentile that we are at when doing a IQ test. For example, having an IQ score of 120 but having a percentile of 90% implies that the person had done well for the IQ test. As a matter of fact, his/her IQ is higher than most of the people that took the test. Anyway, i wanted to blog about IQ as i learn it in psychology lesson. Moreover, wee chin was doing an IQ test and got a score of 140! omg, i got 130 and spos got 136. omg, you two are insane! haha.

Anyway, IQ was being developed by Stanford Binet. He developed it so as to differentiate children with different learning abilities. To him, children with low IQ meant that they require more teaching. However, the Americans used him idea and started to make categories for people with different IQ score. Terms such as moron, imbeciles and idiots were introduced. How irritating can the Americans be ya! haiz, why must it always be white~

In addition, this also resulted in eugenics. Eugenics: advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention. Ever heard of saying : when two silly people marry one another, their offspring will be silly too. How much truth does this statement hold?

This lead to a debate: Is IQ something genetic or it can be nature? There were many different statistics that were presented, each support the two ends of the spectrum. however, after much debate, this conclusion was made: Genetics determine the range in which the IQ can vary, environment determines whether a person reached the upper or lower limits of the range. Hmm, a very fair statement isn't it? however, should you look deeper into it, it also implies that intelligence is some what predetermined before birth. Lets say a person has a range of 90-120 whereas another person has a range of 120-150. Does it mean that no matter how much effort the first person makes, he is destined to be always behind the second person? In a really warped way, the saying that smart breed smart seems true isn't it?

Anyway, does IQ represents intelligence? In accordance to statistics, IQ scores correlate with school grades and number of years of completed schooling. It is a valid indicator of verbal/academic intelligence BUT not intelligence in general. An example would be that high IQ people are more likely to have high status job, however, they might not perform as well as another fella with lower IQ.

Okay, enough about IQ. haha, this rocks. im revising my work while blogging! its like spamming my dear with chim terms! Psychology is a really interesting subject i have to say. haha.

Hmmm, anyway, YU thank you so much for the jay's song ya! haha, made ya wasted so much time sending them one by one. really appreciate it! thanks a lot!!!!! anyway, congrats on getting second for a table tennis competition. haha, some how table tennis reminds me of yuan. haha, okay damn random.

I am really amazed man. haha, anyway he looks like he is from Taiwan~ haha, that kind of cool cool long hair look. one that ken always wanted! haha, damn nice man! ha.

amazingly, my second week of school term has ended! really excited about it as i am two weeks closer to going home. sadly, im also two weeks closer to exams. haha, time flies ya! haha.

anyway, i had an amazing lunch today! haha, i fried salmon, carrots, beans, mushrooms and chicken tgt ( definitely with oyster sauce and pepper!) wahaha, after that i mixed everything with the rice! it tasted amazing! haha, must be the salmon. haha, i decided to buy salmon everyweek because its good for the brain! omega somthing~ haha, cant remeber. haha. my diet here is so damn healthy! i am certain that i can lose weight here! wahahaha.

oh ya, speaking about the omega thing, my lecturer said that those milk powder which says that they will enhance or improve the infant iq and stuff are all fake! haha, cant believe i actually wanted to spam my children with those kind of milk powder! haha, so future fathers, eh, col u can just adopt lah, please do not get cheated. oh shit, i missed out future mothers~ ><

burn out~

ok, my brain is totally saturated~ haha, my neurons are all screaming this 'give as a break you moron!' haha, its currently 11 15 pm here. just finish chatting with my dear spos! you woke up later today, haha! so who is the pig now?! eh, i think im still the biggest pig ba.

was chatting with colin many hours ago. haha, we were exchanging medical knowledges. haha, i think its more of a one sided kind of exchange. oh well, take it as a form of revison ya co co~ haha, thanks for everything ya! oh ya, kindly teach our dear NEMO how to use make up ba. its amazing that she is feeling vain recently.

oh ya, was listening to jays new songs~ damn nice lah, but i really love 失落非主流. it has a really catchy tune man. haha, both spos and I love it! haha. its really nice man, like i say jay chou rocks. i read that due to the unexpected leak, he is rearranging his songs again. moreover, he is giving out more incentives man! haha, thats the way! my idol rocks socks!!! should i pre order the cd?! haiz, its ok. in short JAY CHOU ROCKS! wheee, and dear i am not bias -_-.

OH YA! i had to do this english test last friday man. haha, it sucks! haha, its totally like gp. i thought gp was a thing of the past le. yet it came back to haunt me~ free my soul~ haha, oh well, its graded de man! hope i wont do that badly >< keeping my fingers crossed though.

haha, my lecturer told us today that malaysian's have got a bigger spleen! haha, colin was amazed when i told him too. apparently its some disease that increases the size of the spleen. ken and spos dont worry, it does not affect the body. it simply means that you have a bigger spleen! wahaha. anyway, this give us (the zero malaysian blood people) a greater advantage over the malaysians! haha, all we need to do is to stab them in their spleen and they will die of excessive bleeding! wahaha, one up for the non malaysians! haha, this was what my lecturer told us in lecture today! haha, it was really funny as there were many malaysians!

i chat with jon over msn today. we were talking about life in Ireland and stuff. this is what he told me' school has started for a month already and i just started studying' zzz, its like wth man! roar, im only in my second week and im mugging my ass off! roar! its not only me that is mugging my ass off man, i really envy UCD. its so much more humane, so much more 'fatherly/motherly'. oh ya and he told me to play WOW with him. my reply was 'wow, i did not even play WOW when i was back in singapore.' haha, he must be really smart man. sad.

oh well, got classes at 10 tomorrow! haha, hardcore lectures. 6 lectures if im not mistaken~ haiz, shall hit the bed le since im so saturated with bio chem stuff~ night guys! eh i mean morning guys! ><

Ken!

this post shall be on ken since its his birthday today! wheee, happy birthday ken! may all your dreams and wishes come through! may you be one step, no, many many steps closer to getting your first class honors! i know you can do it man! haha, with the amount of mugging you had put in, you can simply top SIM man! remember our goal? make NUS regret not accepting us! haha.

anyway, as i was studying psychology, i came across this term operant conditioning. It is a form of learning where voluntary responses come to be controlled by responses. Reinforcement occurs when an event following a response increases and organism’s tendency to make that
response! This is what our dear ken is doing! or should i say this theory explains the reason why he is always so random and lame. in fact, its getting worst! haha. even wee chin thinks so too! haha, its not his wire got disconnected, its operant conditioning!!!

anyway, to help ken from being more lame (eh, if its even possible), we should not give him such 'positive' responses to his lame-ness le! as time passes, he will be less lame! wheeeee, i am a genius right?! wahaha. zzz, i know wats going through your mind my dear! saying that i am as BHB as ever right! oh well~ its kind of expected of me isn't it.

hmmm, i better sleep soon man! too much of psychology is not helping my brain~ studying medicine so torturous to my neurons~ how many neurons have i killed?!!?!!??!?!!?!?!? i have decided to use my text book as a pillow. active diffusion of knowledge can occur!!!!! facts can move from a region of higher concentration (the book) to a lower concentration (my brain) down the concentration gradient! ok, what has mugging done to me ><

spos! thanks for waking up and chatting with me ya! haha, it makes me feel really special! however, waking up at 2 am is just NO NO man! sleep more if its possible ya! im really glad to be able to chat with ya twice a day! haha, thanks for everything!!!!! especially those e cards and your ever sweet and touching messages~ haha. hope dear will not feel so down today le ya! miss ya and love ya lots!

first post in Ireland

Wow, i have been in Ireland for about a week. In fact its more than a week le! haha, time flies.

Finally, i have so time to do a quick update! as stated in Yu's blog, i have not been online for so long. As a matter of fact, i HAVE always been online since Monday. However, my MSN here is rather koyak. I am unable to sent out messages to you guys~ so i decided to chat in skype with wc and wt. Skype is now a very important part of my life. hehe.

Stupid YU! You called me 肥猪 in your blog! roar, its ok, i shall try and lose weight here in Ireland. Hmmm, can a person lose weight during winter?! heck it, i shall try to lose weight! hehe.

anyway, lets blog about Ireland. I wont deny that it is a really beautiful place. Streets are really clean, buildings are those retro kind. Overall, i think that it is so much better as compared to Tassie. At least i was enrolled on monday. When i was in Tasmania, i was enrolled 2 weeks after lesson started man! One up for Ireland~

oh ya, i have notice a difference between the whites here and the whites back in Tassie. The is a clear distinction between the two different types of white ( one is more white than the other ^^, jkjk). The whites here are more efficient, intellectual, well mannered, friendly and most importantly they are so much smarter. It could be due to the fact that i am in a medical school, hence the image of the whites seems so perfect. haha, but no matter what, i still feel safe walking alone here in Ireland. As for Tassie, i would feel really uneasy when i am all alone. so ya, this is one major difference.

Hmmm, speaking about my accommodation, its not that bad i suppose. Its in the apartment style. I was suppose to have 3 hostel mates, however currently there are only two of them. Sadly, both of them are whites. haha. Thank god they are really good whites~ so i am fine with it! oh ya, my accommodation is 3 minutes away from school, 4 minutes away from St Stephen's Green shopping mall and 1 min away from the doctor (its subsidised by the school). So there is nothing much a can complain about my accommodation i suppose.

As for school, its really hectic. The said that the first week is know as fresher's week. in the end lectures begin on the second day! The lectures are really content heavy. Its so much more difficult to study here as compared to Tasmania man! the difference in standard is really there. Colin! Lower limb is covered within 2 lectures~ oh man, now i really hate the lower limb man. Ghee y must there be so many muscles and the stupid femoral triangle~ haiz, better not think about it.

Oh ya, i was allowed to dissect the thigh of a cadaver during my first anatomy lesson. I was amazed as i thought i will only be seeing those already dissected cadaver. Who know i was able to cut them! haha, its really fun man. I did not know that it is so easy to cut through the skin! Oh ya the body is of an old lady. I have never seen so much dead body in my life man. The smell was a little disgusting though!

about dissecting the thigh... i made 3 straight cuts and 2 of them made an inverted T. The cut was all the way to the patellar(knee region) After that, my group mates and i started to pull back the skin! hehe, it was like digging into flesh while pulling out the skin! when pulling out the skin, you can see many adipose tissues and connective tissue. haha, den we slowly look for the different muscles (which i believe you all do not want to know the name... only colin will know i suppoes). so ya that was my first anatomy lesson and i am really looking forward to the next one which is on tuesday! wheee~ sorry spos, haha you had to relive the dissection process once again~ hope you are not as disgusted ya! haha.

im doing ok i suppose so you guys dont have to worry. I certainly hope that you guys are doing well too! must keep me updated ya. Go install SKYPE lah, den can chat there! my Msn is a little koyak! haha.

spos, you are pigging in bed now when i am typing this post man! haha, however , you will be waking up in 2 hours time! wheee, no more waking up at such hours to chat le alright? haha. anyway, thanks for believing me me too! sorry to make ya go through so much more nonsense, especially those issues. haha, its gonna be worth it i believe! hehe, thanks for everything, always so understanding and accommodating! hope you have a great day ahead tomorrow ya! there will be a surprise for ya!!!!! love ya lots and take care!

you guys take care too ya! soon i will be back~ haha, dont forget to install skype ya! see ya!!!! gonna hit the books now! =.=
