ahh!

haha okay long time since i posted as usual.. soo yeah got my spm results, a little disappointing but ahh.. what to do eh? nevertheless.. im very grateful to my teachers who gave me guidance all along the way.. esp mr hew and mr lee. thankyou thankyou!

spent my hols from SAM mostly on two things.. ie spending time with yv and hospital attachment@sjmc! according to my dad im supposed to keep a log of what i did during that time in the hosp.. so ill write wtv comes to mind before it all goes

day1 tues
spent most of the day in the laboratory dept learning how it functions as a support tool for doctors to help diagnose patients. it goes sth like this : doctor sees patient and based on oral examination recommends specific tests to be run in the lab(if he/she cannot already tell what is wrong), results of tests return to doctors = prognosis
this experience was nothing really new to me since ive already seen how a lab works. the only diff was that sjmc's lab was by far one of the most advanced labs in the country and could run a wide variety of tests. if you cant run something here, it probably has to go overseas.
afternoon was the dissection of various organs that have been removed from the body.. usually to extract tumor samples and investigate them. included kidneys, uteruses and so on. not for the faint of heart

day2 wed
half day at the imaging dept. saw how doctors used equipment like the ultrasound and mammograms to help discover any change or growth in abnormal tissue.. nothing much nothing much

day3 thurs
was at the bloodbank to learn more about how blood is collected and grouped. did this before as well.. all blood has to be screened for any diseases before transfused etc etc. afternoon went on a general tour of hospital to learn how all of their departments integrate together to function as a single organism that makes healthy happy people out of sick patients =)

yea so thats about it.. and i met two interesting individuals; gayathiri and johann.. haha it wasnt a bore listening to u guys talk all the way. see u guys mond ! haha

andd.. yesterday till this morning was good too.. sighhh.. i wish i could just turn back time sometimes and live those moments again and againn.. ah well

driving along the sprint highway at about 4.45 in the morning.. it was slightly eerie but peaceful. not used to seeing this place empty.. ever! haha
