Essay
So yea i got back my HP essay...
and yes i did very badly or not as well as i had hoped...
i guess with my first essay going well i had kinda expected more and i though i handed in a fairly good essay.
Anyway i though i was misinterpreted so i sent it and a teacher offered to look at it again so hope for the best...
anyway i lost 20 marks compared to the first essay.. so it was a rude shock to me..
its my day to be emo again...

Studying In Singapore
Came across this when i was bored of studying and did random searches on the net.. haha
The Pros and Cons of studying in Singapore
Pros
1) Increasing International Reputation
2) Reasonably Priced Tuition Fees (you wud expect given the ERP and all)
3) Ability to work after graduation
4) Links to Asia
Cons
1) Lack of global visibility for Singaporean Qualifications
2) Vast array of private colleges with unclear reputations (also recall UNSW closing down there)
3) Limited number of international students

So much for the claims of those "higher up" back home
-.-
and as a side point, i searched university ranking based on employer review and yea.. couldn't find any Singapore University there..
Am starting to wonder are we falling that bad. With the cost of living so high and people taking pay of 3.1 million dollars, what's the incentive for me back home now.

Hospitalized
Another day has passed and zero work was done. -.-
I wanted to cut my hair but yea the place was closed. rarr.. going to the gym soon later..
Anyway i went to visit my fellow course mate at Alfred Hospital today (which by the way is nothing compared to Austin Hospital)
He was playing soccer and got elbowed and yea.. it was quite bad and it was quite scary and heartbreaking seeing him like that and i wish him a speedy recover.
We went as a group and yea, it was quite different going to a hospital as a visitor and not a medical student.
When we heard what was going on immediately i think in all our heads we were review our anatomy and physiology and when he told us what happened, it was in a way that could be described "scientific".
Not all patients would say it like that and if we were to practice our interviewing skills, he would be the perfect patient, giving all the info that we need.
So just walking you guys through it...
Trauma induced injury to the abdominal area, affecting the blood vessels of the right kidney
Supply was cut off to a segment of the kidney was the blood was loss within the body cavity (two kidneys receive 25% of our cardiac output)
Fluid built up and pushed the right kidney quite high up, even higher than the left (normally the right is lower due to the liver)
My fren went home hurting, just thinking it was nth serious till he woke up and experienced excruciating pain and went to the ER
waited 2 hours till a doctor came and gave him an ultrasound and found the vessels of his kidney twisted.
He then went for a CT scan and found that there was a significant amt of internal bleeding and the kidney was pushed way up
10 minutes later he was in the Operating Room and underwent laparoscopic surgery
1/3 of the right kidney was found to be necrotic and was removed.
he will have another CT scan this thur to confirm and will be discharged this fri.
Wish him a speedy recovery

Spagetti Aglio Olio
This is the pasta i cook when i'm hungry... haha... easy to make and quick to wash. A real time saver.
Ingredients
5-6 Cloves of Garlic Diced
Spagetti
A little less than 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
MasterFoods Parsley Flakes
MasterFoods Basil Leaves
McCormick Chilli Powder
McCormick Red Crushed Chilli
Instructions
1)Boil the spagetti in a pot with a dash of salt
2)Pour the diced garlic and olive oil in a non stick pan and heat till the garlic turns a little brown, being careful not to burn it or else good game
3)Once brown, quickly add in the pepper, basil, parsley, chilli powder and red crushed chilli
4) Stir well and remove from heat
5) Once the spagetti is cooked, add it to the pan and mix well.
The spagetti should not be too dry but not dripping with oil too.
For Extra Kick, add in my Garlic and Ham Scrambled Egg (Refer to old post "Late Night Snack") on top for a more balanced meal and a caesar salad for your greens.
Enjoy!
