i was thinking of going to catch body worlds. maybe it'll be a good way to introduce my family to what i'm seeing in the anat hall every week and dispell those myths tt it is a dark and wet place full of partially decomposing, stinking, bloody corpses.

well, at least the part tt it stinks is true. but not in the putrifying-smell sense. and formalin is gross. stings the eyes quite bad. someone should come out with a new embalming fluid.

in fact, i can remember the time when i first stepped into the the anat hall. i was SO EXCITED. not the least bit worried tt i was going to be touching dead bodies. and true enough, it wasn't bad at all. i enjoyed the session very much actually. but then again, maybe it's partially because of prof ling - who is such a genius and makes anatomy so interesting. :)

risking it here, but i must confess that more than once somehow my hypothalamus fired hunger signals when i saw the cadavers... i was reminded so many times of stewed meat, char siew, duck meat... and before u decide to shun me a million miles the next time u see me in school, just take note tt my prac sessions are all mostly around lunchtime.

yea. like tt's any saving grace. lecter the 2nd.

but just be honest u pple and i'm sure there's more than once u thought of food too.

i don't think we're going to body worlds after all cause my brother just came in to my room to tell me that they were going swimming and if i wanted to come along. don't know HOW they're going to swim... so cold leh. rain just stopped.

and of course i'm not going. recently my lower lumbar-sacral region is a little painful... hope it's not the spine. guess it's the erector spinae muscle cause both andre and anin both told me it's probably tt. and both of them are geniuses!

well, there's no other muscle in tt region really tt runs along the spine. but it feels a little like bone-pain rather than muscle ache.

i'll go see the doctor on mon if it still continues.

and one thing tt's good about studying medicine is that u can come up with a pre-diagnosis first before u go see another doctor. and u'll know why nuritionist say this and atheletes do that and u'll be able to choose wisely for urself, not living under the impression that all they're trying to do is to stop u from enjoying life to the fullest.

which makes me feel guilty cause i had supper yesterday. and it was some potent high cholesterol stuff. and knowing that cholesterol can't be excreted except through bile; and that bile is carcinogenic; and that if cholesterol is left in blood it can cause atherosclerosis, it's quite bad actually...

but of course once a while i eat it. i don't care.

just like a blatant defiance against the system. and i like the zhu(1) you(2) they put in noodles too. though it's possibly the most unhealthy thing u can ever eat.

anyway, i was supposed to sleep now when i got home. think i'll do so. have to do a little more mugging for the day after dinner. :)
