Smart women often make bad love choices
Studies have shown that the higher a woman's IQ (intelligence quota), the lower her EQ (emotional quota). This means that the brighter a woman is, the less likely she is to make good relationship choices.

Professional women, it has been shown, are more likely to divorce and have affairs and are less likely to have children.

The American Journal Of Marriage & Family cites several studies that show how the divorce rate rises for women who out-earn their male partners.

In fact, women who earn more than their husbands divorce twice as often as those who earn less.

It demonstrates that financially successful women are less tolerant and more controlling of less successful men, and that these men have difficulty living with women who are more successful than them.

Dr Robert Holden, author of Success Intelligence, says that intelligent women spend too much time analysing the meanings and motives in their relationships, instead of just letting themselves be open and emotionally vulnerable to their men.

My 600th post on this blog! We've come a long way indeed.

Had the OSCEs yesterday. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. Probably didn't do as well in the physiology station as I would have loved to, simply because I wasn't sure how to prepare for it. But I should have done relatively well for the other 4 stations, which is awesome.

Station 1: Hx taking - DDx = Bowel cancer, Haemorrhoids

Station 2: GI examination - Talk through till abdo, Examine from abdomen onwards

Station 3: Physiology - GFR, ARBs, ACEI, MDRD

Station 4: Written Examination - Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease

Station 5: Research Ethics and Genetics Privacy/Discrimination

Friday was spent at Elvin3's with Christin@, Darr3n, and Joel3n3. Basically spent the whole day eating instead of studying but it was fun!

Snack: Boiled Sweet Potatoes

Lunch: Leftover Chicken Stew with Rice, Salmon Sashimi, Freshly Baked Bread, Watermelon, Scones

Snack: Timtams

Dinner: Meatloaf, Potatoes with Truffle Oil, Green Salad, Salmon Sashimi, Chocolate Fudge

We finished lunch at about 3pm. Had dinner at about 6+pm. Imagine how full we were! But the food was yummilicious! Thanks Auntie!

Swot-vac has officially started means that the exams are REALLY coming right up!

27 Oct: Theme 1 Written Exam

2 Nov: Perspectives on Aging Exam

4 Nov: Applied Exam

And then I'm done with the exams! With second year of medical school! With preclinical years!

Would be returning to sunny Singapore on 11th Nov! Can't wait! This semester seems to have gone by in a flash. What's new really. Every semester seems like it's flying by and before we know it, we would all be doctors.

Dr Nah, Dr Wong, Dr Neo, Dr Liew, Dr Lau.

Can't imagine that day. I think I would cry. It would have been a long bumpy ride.

Had valedictory dinner on Thursday and we were just listening to the short introduction to the people who were leaving and then Christin@ and I realised that we didn't really want to leave Jane with '___ has been with us for 3/4/5 years and is from Singapore. She studied Medicine.' and thats it! We decided that we would TRY to do something at Jane, be it sports/art show/play/whatever.

dinner that night was niceeee.

Starters: Half an avocado with green salad, beansprouts and kecap manis

Dinner: Macadamia Nut with Lime Leaf Crusted Salmon Steak with Stewed Artichokes and Leek

Dessert: Vanilla Panacotta with Cherry Sauce

The panacotta was TO DIE FOR. I'm so glad I stayed for dessert. *slurps* Sorry but I haven't got pictures this time around. Stomach's growling just thinking of it! XD
