A random saturday night
It was meant to be a quiet and cosy dinner with a few secondary school friends around Chinatown. The place was bustling as the sun began to set: performances started, decor started to light up and banners welcoming the delegates here for the IMF-world bank meeting caught our eye on every street. Shops and restaurants all had their own offers for the delegates. Cool, I thought.
We didnt stay long though, heading down to clarke quay nearby to walk around after a quick dinner. Clarke quay was abuzz too under the glimmering metal canopy stretching across riverside point. A long queue of clubbers had formed outside the ministry of sound, just like the harley davidsons on the next alley lined up along the walkway. A crowd too had gathered at a dark field nearby where people were flying their gliders complete with flickering lights. Across the river, workers were still at work around the construction site above the mrt while teenagers were hanging around nearby deciding where to go. Cool, clarke quay was so dead a few years ago compared to this, I thought to myself.
We found a place to sit at one of the eateries. At the next table, sat 4 caucasian men. They seemed like nice people out for a meal on a saturday night, until they started to converse louder than what we were comfortable with.
"Singapore airlines isnt such a big deal really, I dont understand all the fuss"
"...I've picked up a few phrases. Like, what do you want you chao c*** b**?"
"Singaporean chinese are just f***ing rude, not like the China Chinese..."
"Yea, singaporean chinese cant match up to those over in China, not as competitive, hardly as hungry and follow blindly..."
(more singapore-bashing)
The local waitress just smiled as she cleared their table. Obviously, we werent impressed. But we figured they werent any of the delegates, but expats working somewhere in Singapore. I was rather cheesed off but my friends figured they were entitled to their own opinions. In retrospect, I should have at least told them off for speaking so loudly but they left soon after.
As we left for home, I saw one of the same caucasians we had met earlier don his black leather jacket and helmet in the distance. His harley davidson rip-roared to life and sped away into the night, deafening the passerbys along the way...
Its pretty often we meet foreigners quick to pass the comment on Singapore. And we cant blame them because we form our own impressions too based on a few experiences. But it led me to recall my researches for a say projects on local history or the local HIV situation where I found many more reviews, papers and commentaries written by foreign professionals than by say local doctors or historians. After a thorough research, I realised many of what these foreign commentators wrote were with misquoted statistics, biased interviews and with a point of view that misses out on a lot of local considerations like prevalent local beliefs.
What's going to happen if our next generation does their research projects and formulates their opinions on local issues based on these more easily accessable (esp online) foreign commentaries because touchy local issues arent sufficiently covered, officially discussed and analysed by us Singaporeans?

Desaru International Long Distance Triathlon
On 8th September 2006 (Friday), I set off from Changi Ferry Terminal to Desaru to attempt the half-ironman distance triathlon held on the next day. This triathlon is very important because it effectively represents the halfway mark towards my goal. I want to thank all my friends who supported me in anyway, including waking me up during lectures, letting me draw on their notes to destress and even giving me a pat on the shoulder. :):):):):):):)
Here are some pictures to share my experience:
Transition Area: all set up
All Quiet on the Western Front (My foot, the waves were freaking strong..during the warm up you can see MEN being flushed back shore by the waves...it was very daunting)

A random story from med sch
Heys, hope you all are doing well. Maybe someone could post the photo of the dinner at Golden Mile heh. Anyway, this is a real-life story my Problem-Based Learning tutor shared today. Perhaps you'll find your own 寓意s in it:
When he was a medical student in China (didnt state which university), he had a senior 2 or 3 years older who had just graduated from medical school and was going to be posted to the hospitals. This senior, for various personal reasons, did not want to leave the city where the university was located. So he came up with a plan to escape being posted to a hospital in the more rural areas.
He decided that he would inject himself with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, wait for the symptoms to present and then request to be posted to a hospital in the city as he was too ill to travel. He felt that it was reasonably safe to do so as the treatments available for TB at that time were encouraging and he felt he had a very good chance of recovery.
So he went to the lab, took a vial of the bacteria and injected just a little into himself. Unfortunately, unlike the usual TB which spreads through respiratory droplets, by injecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis into his bloodstream he effectively gave himself acute/miliary/disseminated tuberculosis... which is rapidly fatal.
So he reported sick with astonishing verisimilitude: an extremely high fever and a host of other symptoms, albeit not usually seen in normal TB patients. But, afraid of getting punished for what he had done, he withheld this crucial piece of information from all his doctors and professors who were scrambling frantically to save him. Apparently, all the blood cultures turned out negative because no one had thought of testing for TB (which needs a special culture medium).
As you would expect (for the story to be told in the first place), he finally confessed to his doctors. But by that time, it was too late and he passed away.
On his deathbed as he was close to death, he was surrounded by classmates. Concerned as perhaps they might have been, they came also to scold him for his stupidity.
