this weeks been rather bz though now that i think back, i can't rmb what i've been bz with. oh rite. korean drama! hahaha! 60 hrs of my life is going to just vanish just because i've plonked myself down in front of the box just watching the song of the prince aka seodongyo aka shu3 tong2 yao2 (yam boy song). its rather dachangjin-ish since its by the same producers but i'm not really complaining. 20 cds in all. down to the last 6! and mind you, they are dvds so thats bout 3hrs and tada! you arrive at 60 hrs!

boy my math is good. wahaha.

had class outing on sunday which i went late as i couldnt wake up in time to reach ecp at 10. ok i stirred to msg big boss that i'm going to meet them after lunch so i kinda woke up but fell straight back to sleep. met @mi at parkway b4 going over to macs to look for them. found yf, bri@n nguy3n, @sik, how@n, der3n, jingyu@n. almost killed them when someone suggested going back to parkway. thank god they didn't and we so kindly spared their lives. headed down to k@tong shopping centre to p00l. @mi's not too bad for someone who doesn't really know how to play. :) as for me, its more like just try and hit in as many as possible but it takes loads of luck and deep concentration to apply the physics in it. der3n and yf left before dinner but our dear jessi3 foo joined us! yay!! :) thanks girl for your christmas card! so sweet of you..

ate LJS at TM b4 they decided to come to my house to play mahjong. plus stayover. wahaha! so it was big boss aka jy, hw and @mi. whoa all of them have an A in their names! played mahjong, piano, com, ps2 etc. stayed up till bout 4am b4 @mi and i couldn't take it anymore. so we all went to sleep and guess wad? the guys couldnt wake up lor! they only woke up cos we drew the curtains back and it was alr 11+am. so we headed down to eastpoint after breakfast (at like 12..?) for lunch! walked around eastpoint and jy concluded that its sadder than AMK hub. wahah! oh well, guess it only serves our basic needs. :P

ok i shall go back to my korean movie again. :)

404 Moment

DOCTORS have always used a tribal vocabulary to communicate between themselves, but now their secret lingo is been enriched by the electronic media and urban slang.

Paul Keeley, a consultant in the department of palliative medicine at Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland wrote to the weekly British Medical Journal a sample of new words that British doctors use among themselves.

They include:

Disco biscuits: The clubbers' drug ecstasy. As in: "The man in cubicle three looks like he's taken one too many disco biscuits.''

Hasselhoff: Term for any patient who shows up in the emergency room with an injury for which there is a bizarre explanation. Source: Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff, who hit his head on a chandelier while shaving. The broken glass severed four tendons and and an artery in his right arm.

Agnostication: A substitute for prognostication. Term used to the describe the usually vain attempt to answer the question: "How long have I got, doc?''

Blamestorming: Apportioning of blame after the wrong leg or kidney is removed or some other particularly egregious foul-up happens.

404 moment: The point in a doctor's ward round when medical records cannot be located. Comes from internet error message, "404 - document not found.''

Testiculation: Description of a gesture typically used by hospital consultant "when holding forth on subject on which he or she has little knowledge". Gesture is of an upturned hand with outstretched fingers pointed upwards, clutching an invisible pair of testicles.

Other slang used by doctors, according to past letters to the BMJ, include UBI (for "Unexplained Beer Injury''), PAFO ("Pissed And Fell Over'') and Code Brown, or a faecal incontinence emergency.

CTD means "Circling The Drain'', GPO signifies "Good for Parts Only'' and "Rule of Five'' means that if more than five of the patient's orifices are obscured by tubing, he has no chance.

A patient who is "giving the O-sign'' is very sick, lying with his mouth open. This is followed by the "Q-sign'' - when the tongue hangs out of the mouth - when the patient becomes terminal.

As for genetic quirks or inbreeding, FLK means "Funny Looking Kid'' and NFN signifies "Normal For Norfolk,'' a rural English county.

General practitioners may use LOBNH ("Lights On But Nobody Home'') or the impressively bogus Oligoneuronal to mean someone who is thick.

But they also have a somewhat poetic option: "Pumpkin positive'' refers to the idea that a person's brain is so tiny that a penlight shone into their mouth will make their empty head gleam like a Halloween pumpkin.

HADY MIRZA IS THE FIRST ASIAN IDOL!!

WOOHOOOO!!

ROCK ON SINGAPORE!! :)

heyhey! that rhyme is real ok! :( why hasn't anyone heard the full version.

but anyway.. i've got proof that i'm correct! wahahah!

its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring..
he went to bed and knocked his head,
and couldnt get up in the morning!

so tragic! i mean i never really realised how tragic this is until i dawned on me that he died! ok maybe he didnt. perhaps like a coma but i think its more exciting if he died!

i just love the nights. so quiet, cool and peaceful. with no one around to bother me. its a good time for reflection and sorting out messed up thoughts. :) the mornings just have too much light which spoils the whole atmosphere.

was just thinking bout time the other day. it seems that time is just something relative. daylight saving and stuff. like who's the one who says that today is monday, tomorrow is tues etc? i mean, i can just say that tomorrow is sunday and not tuesday and if everyone followed suit, would we have just moved ahead in time, and skipped tues - sat?

like how its 13hrs behind in ontario and how someone might be just started the day while you're already ending it. how we just adjusted our time by 30min so as to make things easier for us between msia and stuff. so time is indeed a very relative thing.

time waits for no man. but if every man waits for time, time will wait for man.
