Feeling tall. Good. Refresh.

Wanna to take some low production "model" pictures. :P
Anyway, need to get my BMI back to 19. Long way to go. Lots of work especially on my gluteals.

Me playing around!!!
Burning a lot on my abds and gluteals. Gotta have better time management for my school work and own workout. Exams have been hindering my commitment. :P



Get a job in Focus Pilates or PowerMoves back in Singapore next time?

Juz a thought. Make it a goal? I gotta work hard and stop making mistakes for exams! Work hard work hard!!! Work your brain. Work your body.

Encouragement from my College's Math Department!!!
Miss them! ^^

End of mid-terms.

Finally, I finished my mid-term exams! Today's cardiopulmonary practical went quite well except for a minor part in my last station on 6 mins walk functional test.

CP practical exams
Station 01: Interpretation of a Chest X-ray
- mine was a pleural effusion with opacity all over the left lung up to the 6th ribs.
Station 02: Postural drainage (PD) plus percussion and vibration
- PD to the left lateral basal segment of the lung
Station 03: 6 mins walk test on a COPD patient on a nasal cannula

It was not all perfect but it had met up to my expectation. Thanks for all the Good Luck I had yesterday, it had, in some way, boost my confident.

Somehow, I had been devastated by my grade 2 days ago. It reminded me of the days where I can be top in Biology class as well as failing very badly for it. My teacher had always been very worried for my fluctuating grades. I was too, really frustrated about myself, but often, I found little that I can do about it. I have been able to refrain from this habit of mine in my first year of university, however, this phenomenon had been back to haunt me in this very first written exam of mine. Often, I doubt myself from the things I do. I can be very blur in lots of areas in my life; my brother, parents and close friends of mine should know it quite well. Yet, I do not know the reason for having myself looking smart. Does it goes back to the question of relativity?

Friends around me in HK had always expected me to do well, they always had the mindset that my idea of "badly done" is at least a B. Oh well, I screwed my test this round. Even the least attentive person in class can get an A (I dun care whatever undesirable means that they take to do it:P), I can only say that I had bad luck cum memory deficit cum carelessness. Yet, I believe that everything happen for a reason. A sign for me not to get too complacent and to continue to strive. To teach me to accept times like this. Actually, it's just a minor thing that can happen in life and there is nothing to be too upset about. Most importantly, I felt the love in the world, the encouragement of everyone of you all there which gave me the motivation to live and work hard in my life. Jia you to me and all of you too!!!

Looking forward to the adventure camp this weekend! Gotta start working on our presentation too!

蕭亞軒 - 衝動
Gotta listen to this song over Angel's blog.
Really nice! Somehow it stirs my thoughts. :P


<<命中注定我愛你>>
心願便利貼
一天一天貼近你的心　你開心　我關心
一點一滴我都能感應　你是我　最美的相信

Really sweet and touching.

Being brave and happy in life.

A day of disappointment.

Disappointment. Extreme disappointment.

I have gotten the worst grade in my university life.

Somehow, I have expected it.

But I didn't expect this extreme disappointment I could be having now.

Maybe, I hoped for something better.

It's 45% for a 4 Credits subject.

I shouldn't have been that worst.

I didn't fail.

But it's going to be real hard to pull up the grade in finals.

It's not that I have not been working hard.

Or maybe I haven't.

I should have been on the wrong focus. Wrong track.

I need to find a way to put myself back.

To run on the correct track.

Coming Wednesday is CP practical exams.

I need to calm myself. To move on.

To strive for the better.

On the correct path.

Suddenly, I remembered your words, Ms Wang (JC college teacher).


Thinking of home. A place of shelter. Hope I am staying strong.

Mid term exams.

Life has been really hectic recently but with the support from family, friends and a special someone, I have been able to put through the week. Examination wasn't as well-performed as I wished it could be, but at least, I have tried my best and I sincerely hope that the results will turn out fine or maybe, unexpectedly good. :p Finally, after 2 weeks of endless revision, I am liberated temporary. (Another practical exam waiting for me next wed)I finally had the chance to watch a drama series, to chat happily with Mummy and Daddy and well, to blog!

Today is the birthday of someone special and it marks one of my happiest day too. I freed myself from stress and woke up at 12pm! Ate Mos Burger with my roomie and rushed to school for classes, loitered in school for 1.5 hours to settle some stuffs, went shopping at the supermarket, ate Sushi for dinner, continued my very sweet drama series, chatted happily with Mummy and Daddy for almost 1+ hours, talked to birthday boy for quite some time and did my sweetest voice clip ever after 16 years. (juz a subjective feeling, my previous cute voice clip was done when i was 4 years old!)HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

The past 2 weeks were indeed torturous simply due to the fact that I was not fulfilling one of my basic necessities which is SLEEP!(3.30am to 07.30am) Caffeine and Panadols had been pulling me through the weeks. Yet, I found similar friends with the same difficulties, we yawned, we complaint but most importantly, we held on. This would not come to end, for at least, the next year ahead. We got to stay strong. People that are deep in my heart might not be right by my side, but their moral support is going to boost me one further step ahead.

Some pictures of the week.
Me working on my notes. ><

8.00pm in sch: Taking a 15mins break from revision for practical exams.

Mask that is worn during the SARS period! Isn;t it cool? It's pink!

Funny and cool!


Memories that put me through hard time!!!
Mummy and Daddy in HK just 2 weeks ago! I suggested them to Halloween DisneyLand and it was absolute fun! Daddy and Mummy was all energetic especially in the Haunted house where Mummy scared the ghost and Daddy acting as Choo Choo Trian! I seriously love my parents! We ended up being really lethargic due to the absolute fun we had had!
DADDY!!!

MUMMY!!!

Congrats Mummy on your graduation in SINGAPORE!!! Mummy actually bought her graduating dress over from SG to take a pic wif me in my school! :D


Another side of me.
2 lessons of Pilates Reformer course at Australian Training for Professionals had given me a lot of insights!!! I am so going to pursue this area in my life. Mummy had agreed to pay for half of my fees if I go for my instructor course. We will see. My muscles and tendons are still not in shape. In pursue of a perfect body. :P

Reformer Pilates

I am actually learning these movements lately. It looks really simple but look at the precise movement of the body --- it's still a long way for me to achieve it. Control. Concentration. Centering. A really good video!

Entering Week06 of school!

Opening Ceremony for Pan Pacific Conference.
Delegates from all over the world! Respectable PT practitioners and researchers!!!

Sandy and me!
'bf & gf' ---That's what you said. Well, even if I start to change my sexuality, you gotta wait in line. haha. (just kidding) Great friend though! :D

The row of Year 3 and Year 2 respectively!
We have a great time at the exhibition and tea reception on Level 05! But most importantly, the presentations were indeed fascinating and stimulating, it was actually my first time listening to research findings from professors from places like the US and the UK. Indeed, it was much of an experience and had really brought me into a deeper understanding about research. Thanks to the subject called "Critical Inquiry" too! I shall start contemplating into my final year project. haha. ^^


In school today.
Nasal Intermittent Positive Ventiilation (NIPPV)
To deliver a set positive inspiratiory pressure through the nose to patient to increase lung volume and optimize ventilation.

My first suctioned dummy. :P

My set up Traction on yoyo. ^^
Nicola hit my head from being careless about my settings on the machine!!! She said I was driving the machine crazy (cuz it was producing a lot of strange sounds, oh well) Oopps!


P.S. Mummy n Daddy is back today!!!! Staying over at their hotel till this weekend before extreme stress come looming over me. Enjoy for the moment and prepare ahead! Jia you together oh!!! (specially to Mer Mer gor!!!)

Trigger hand assignment completed.
Kick Boxing Classes came to an end today. :P
Starting of Pilates and 1st Practical exam next week! :p x10000000

National Day week.

I am really not feeling quite well now. Recently, my school has been filled with viruses and the weather, in one way of another, is exacerbating the problem. My classmates and teachers are infected and are presenting with all kind of different symptoms. Right now, I suspect that my tonsils are hurting me, the pain sometimes spread from the right side of my neck up to my gum area. Well, the typhoon striking Hong Kong now & AGAIN after a week of haze is not helping to uplift my mood. The lack of sunlight really makes me feel lethargic.

I just struggled through my notes on cranial nerves but not much facts really went into my mind. I have gotten to re-study it when I am more fresh. Next two days, I would be busy with 6th Pan Pacific Conference on Rehabilitation. I am really feeling the stress with the upcoming mid-term exams and the piling up of my work. I have tried my best to balance everything, at least, I am not that lacking behind.

That night, we played a game called Kings and Queens where the guys and girls will be separated into half. The girls will ask the guys 10 questions and vice versa. On each question, the guys will vote for the girl that best fits the question.

I have the following votes: (out of 8 girls)

1 vote on being the most romantic girl.
1 vote on being the girl with highest sexual drive.
1 vote on being the most desired girl to be with on an island.
4 votes on being the girl who would be most successful in life.
3 votes on being the girl who is better to be friend with than girlfriend.

hahaahhahahaha. It was so fun!

Mental health week!
Booths to help us to relieve stress! Well, it really makes me happier that day.

Some thoughts after studying.
What can physiotherapists when we face damage to the CNIII, IV and VI(Oculomotor, Trochlear and abducen nerve) that is responsible for different eye movement? Simply re-education? Or mobilization to the eye's muscle? :P
Nystagmus
