DID YOU KNOW?

that the pregnant guy (this person with an abnormally big belly took a pregnancy test and it came up positive) from grey's anatomy season2episode7 - something to talk about probably had a tumour of the germinal epithelium! i think la.

the germinal cells can differentiate into almost any type of cell, and the tumours contain multiple tissues such as placental tissue, hair, teeth, bone, skin etc, all found in the same teratoma i.e. tumorous mass. these tumours often secrete few hormones but if a significant quantity of placental tissue develops, it may secrete large quantities of hCG. also, estrogenic hormones are sometimes secreted by these tumours and cause the condition called gynecomastia (overgrowth of breasts)

BUT i have no idea why his teratoma's in his abdomen instead of his testis. unless his testis never descended which would be kinda weird seeing as his wife is pregnant too. unless his wife cheated on him. HMMM.

happy holidays my love! =)

...and im back! what a fantastic trip. and yes hon, i managed not to get throttled by manyspeedos. mainly because no-one actually understood what i was saying :D boy, am i stuffed with gooood foood. thai tehping and green curry and chicken tomyam for 6 days.

call one person back home and suddenly when i come back everyone's asking about my eye :D you guys are really great. yes my eye is okay, it just looks really gross (a good thing!) and totally worth it for the 2 minutess of nervous anticipation and 30 seconds of pure gigglespinbouncescream exhilaration. itkz you must go bungee! IT IS GREAT. (says the adrenaline-junkie)

many exciting stories. most unsuitable for polite company, but all true. will share next dinner/lunch/breakfast or anythinginbetween :) lets meet up soon!

emily! give me eyebrowmovies! haha. and all those people going on holiday (itkz and alvin?) enjoy yourselves! have a blast!

Hello all. Now that you all have attended a full choir concert, you all must conclude that eyebrow movement is common throughout the choir for expressivity! So its not my fault!

Nevertheless, I look forward to free botox from whoever-becomes-plastic-surgeon when I look like Prof Hwang.

Thanks all for your well wishes! Tomorrow I shall be off to the land of Kiwis, a few days before itkz, whom I will still miss anyway, cos when he goes he goes north, when I go home then he comes down to the south. Me, I'm always in the south. So yes, I will miss him very badly! But I also will miss Alvin alot. Without him around, we all just lack that extra boost of T3 and T4.

Happy Holidays you all :)

somewhere, beyond the sea...

my toes will touch the softest, cleanest sand. i will snorkel with the happy little fishes. and the palms shall sway in the balmy breeze, and the genotypically-male-ladyboys will sing soothing songs in 8-part harmony while hunky guys fan my wonderfully-tanned body. and i shall sip on a fresh young coconut, and think of you, my lovely 3stanis. because! you guys are the best. and because you guys are marvellous, and fun, and the most fantastic people ever, i will instruct my male harem to look for the prettiest, biggest seashells for all of you.

okay. seriously. do you guys want anything from phuket? i think my hotel has internet access so i can check the blog from time to time. tag it! or comment. haha.

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I’ll be your strength,
I’ll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it’s gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along

And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

bad photos aside, it was a fantastic night out! :) i love you 3stanis! thank you for being my friends. :)

3stan blog isn't dead! revive, revive!

(well since it wasn't dead it didn't exactly need reviving. :) )

stayover this thurs --> fri in case y'all haven't been reading emails. very important, must try to make it!

smile more, 3stanis. :) and i'm listening to lifehouse again awww reminds me of angsty jc days.

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get to down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

let's always stay together as 3stan. :)

oh yes i forgot to mention something. and this deserves a post all on its own.

guys, please take a look at musicforgood's 13-hour music marathon on saturday: broadcast. a lot of absolutely-fantastic bands are going (astreal, klphq, observatory and lilac saints) and all profits go to help youth in crisis. a lot of the bands on the list are phenomenal, but either aren't based here or don't play gigs regularly. so it's really a very rare chance to see them play.

even if the most challenging music you listen to is blue and the only local band you know is electrico, please come down to have a nice time on a saturday evening, support local bands, and help a charity make some money. its a win-win proposition! i know i'll be going down myself so do gimme a ring if you're interested at all yup?

okay off to geylang! bye!

hello all you 3stanis! rouan has been busy extorting money from hapless doctors and tickling cute babies. anyway inspired by emily's post (but not by ian's offer of speedos! hah! i dont like speedos k! :D) i have decided to cheer this suddenly-deadblog up with my beguiling presence.

ai and bean and i had a minithomson3stan gathering at liquidkitchen/icekimo/longhouse on sunday. fattening fun. any 3stani possessing a car/bike/sense of fun can join us next time if they wish.

i spent the whole of monday walking around in terrible office clothes begging money from stingy lousy doctors. but we did have delicious steak sandwiches at morton's after that. yum.

nothing else to report because i'm a boring person. oh yes, im going to geylang to eat later :)

haha i'm here to blog. see, even the supps girl can blog, the rest of you must blog too =) but i have nothing much to blog about... except today i found out that when central venous pressure (CVP) is raised it indicates right ventricle failure. woohoo. and the library now closes at 7pm cos it's the hols.

okay i've studied for today and now i'm off to enjoy desperate housewives and grey's anatomy! =) does anyone own meteor garden vcds, with english subtitles - it's not for me, it's for my friend who doesn't read chinese. let me know!

thanks to everyone for being nice and supportive about stupid supps, cya soon!

Ok this is no good! No updates from anyone? Has everyone been so busy? Or maybe so bored that you've died halfway composing your post? Heh (: hello all. It is that time of the year again to stayover at ian's house isn't it? So it's time for y'all to plan when (wed/thurs) to go over to ian's house to stay! Please reply to bean's email y'all. She's so excited about it she sent 3 emails regarding this in 15 mins! If anyone can't make it, we can try to cater 2 u (For eg, RA. I can try to get a picture of someone in speedos? But not full sized la. Just a full page print out? JUST FOR YOU! YES. You can even choose your colour! the wonders of photoshop is just so great! Oh, i dunno how to use photoshop btw.) See? So easy.

It all began at siloso, the guy with the blue speedos. ( ok. imagine a rather tan guy with a slightly muscled body wearing sky blue speedos. not bad looking. ) RouAn stared at him. Speedos! Speedos! So we began to play beach soccer and there we were kicking the ball around before it started and oops, RouAn hit the ball near the guy with blue speedos. Ahh. Blue speedos, i like thinks RouAn. So during soccer, the guy with blue speedos scores a goal. RouAn thinks: Wow. My guy with blue speedos scored a goal! It's my chance to touch him. Bravely, she goes up to him. Nice goal, she said, extending her hand and grasping his in hers. After soccer, we found out that they were from Law Year 2. Ooh, RouAn thinks. My Lawyer guy in blue speedos, i like.
