Clash of the Titans is a fantasy thriller with nice visual effects. It is a feast for the eyes, suitable for those just wanting the mindless pleasure of CGI effects in a film. Giant scorptions, greek mythology monsters and creatures, it makes a good entertainment if one can ignore the awful acting by the lead actor.

I wondered how Sam Worthington ( Read more... )

Five freaking years of medical training and my presentation is still a bloody mess! I'm so upset and feeling absolutely inadequate. Why? Why? Why? Why did i ever choose medicine? I chose it for all the wrong reasons and now it is too f--king late to turn back.

This afternoon, I was taking blood cultures from this sweet little old lady who unfortunately has horrible metastatic disease in her lungs (but her X-ray makes good teaching material because you can see the classic cannonball appearance ( Read more... )

I woke up bright and early yesterday morning at 7.30am, and since I have been sedentary since coming back to Sydney, I thought I would go for a morning jog. and I did.

Today started with a horrible morning, which was a total waste of time because I had to spent four freaking hours into a dental clinic, where two out of five patients didn't show up for their appointments. The three that came were just there for regular check-up, and it was almost a torture to sit in the clinic reception, making small talk with Pip ( Read more... )

I was combing through my camera, looking at the pictures I took back in Yangon when I found this.

I remembered stepping out of my balcony one evening at home and seeing this beautiful scene greeting me. Without wasting one more second, I ran and grabbed my camera to capture this beauty of nature. Although I'm not much of an artist, I dare say it ( Read more... )

After all the unnecessary delay and alarm caused by me being sick, I am finally back in Sydney to start a brand new term in as a fifth year medical student. The journey back here was more memorable than usually because firstly, I flew business class! Imagine that! It was the first time that I could sleep properly on a plane and the thought that I' ( Read more... )
