after half a semester, i finally got internet access at my home. i can't believe how incompetent these ppl are. seriously, its those little things in life which we cnt live without and should really appreciate.

i just went through a nerve wrecking biomechanics presentation where i literally spent 2wks of my life scrutinizing the research papers and doing nth else. what a great way to spend two wks of your life. but i think its worth it because of all the people who presented that day, he complimented me.muahaha.

i am still loving it anyway, even though its like 1000 times more busy than last yr. considering that i am working independently in the hospital setting and i see patients that are HIV positive, patients with 15yr old callus (as old as my sister) and as hard as a stone and having feet presented to you that stink to high heavens, dicating letters back to doctors using a dictophone and stuff, i am loving it.

a part of what i am learning now is gait analysis where eventually at the end of the day i must be able to see people walk and then diagnose whats wrong w their feet eventually, and make orthotics to fix them. soo we had this class ytd and it was my turn to walk for the class to analyse. woe behold! turns out i have this foot pathology in me, if this pathology is upon 10marks, i will have a perfect score
my tchr said its a 'classic and extreme case' :(((

it really explains why during times when i go shopping w you guys and i demand to sit down and rest because i have this pain in my foot for ages and poor zy has to be my foot reflexologist. to some extent i am glad that i will be a podiatrist and i do not have to pay thousands of dollars solving this problem when i am 60yrs old.

and then again, i must stress to you how important it is to have good footwear because you nv know if you have any foot pathology and i do not want you to have your foot like tht.






just so you know my foot pathology is related to the picture above, meaning if i do not solve my problem next time it will be like that. i actually had my biomechanics presentation on this type of pathology and dun play play, it happens mostly to women who wear heels. i know you could be thinking that this is probably be the case of a occupational hazard, because i study all these i start to get freaked out and psychotic about how everyone's feet is gg to turn up like that. i dun care. i am going to examine each of your feet the moment i get my practising license because no one should have their feet like tht. and if i say get orthotics and change footwear, you better listen to what i say because if not i am gg to bite your heads off. i mean it. you happen to have a very bossy friend here. alrdy, zhaoyan went to get some new shoes from asics, and very podiatric friendly shoes they are ^___^

i meant to post pictures of my room up, which is really a v cosy one. BUT stupid me forgot to bring my uploading wire from singapore and the stupid me has a stupid sister who sent me the wrong wire. maybe will have to wait till zhaoyan comes b4 you can see the pictures i have, which is a bugger i know, but too bad.

anw do you know i had a rat in my house tht day! #$%!$* the rat was finally cornered off in the sunroom where my housemates ordered everyone in the house to go inside the sunroom to get the rat out as it was hiding. i took the head of the vaccum cleaner as my weapon, and the chair as my shield. the chair was my shield because if the rat was to run in any direction, i can stand on it and scream my lungs out it wun bite me unless it can bounce up to me. turns out, when the rat finally appears, my housemate snatch my chair!!i curse the worst profanities i can ever find in the world on her! but all well ends well the rat was chased out of the house.

i hope everyone's having a glorious time back in singapore. my driving is fine and i hope with intensive lessons i can vroom off when zy or shir comes to visit. kailin! dun be upset you failed the driving test, its really ok. even if u are the worst driver in the whole world, which you are not, we all love you. muacks. like what wanting says, failure is the mother of all success, even if you have the greatgrandmother ultimate failure, its ok!

just in case you miss me, these are some photos taken in the mamak nite, where everyone had prata for entree, nasi lemak for main course, teh tarik and malay kueh for desserts. good gathering with those friends which i deem as family back in adelaide. the weather is alrdy turning chilly, a fine 15degrees brrrrr...and i have alrdy turned fair, as you can see. after i came back adelaide i was so terrified of those harmful uv rays that can cause wrinkles i slapped on SPF 30+ face lotion EVERYDAY
