Palm Treo 680

Should I? Should I not? Been outta touch for 3-4 years now.
After checking out the specs, the only drawbacks are 1. No wifi 2. the camera is the same as the old Treo 650.
No complaints otherwise. =)

I still remember my first Palm Tungsten T1 back in late 1999 and guess wot, I still keep it in my store. Should I be a Palm user again? mmm...



Palm Tungsten T1, one of the first coloured Palms.

A big thank to Jimbo and palmdoc for their info. ^^v

家

Here I am, sitting in the bookshop cafe in the hospital, thinking about Home...

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home in 3 weeks time!!!

whoa!!! in the mean time, I shall treasure my time here and learn as much as possible, both academically and spiritually.

Up till now, however, the lessons I value the most were not related to medicine. Personally I think it's absolutely fabulous, because those lessons have surely contributed to my growth as a human being and a future healer.

Heed the calling. =)

医学没有对与错，只有圆满。

你同意吗？

我的感触很深。

会写更多。



Cheers,

纪晓君 流浪记

我就这样告别山下的家
　　我实在不想轻易让眼泪流下
　　我以为我并不差　不会害怕
　　我就这样自己照顾自己长大
　　
　　我不想因为现实把头低下
　　我以为我并不差　能学会虚假

　　怎样才能够看穿面具里的谎话
　　别让我的真心散的像沙
　　如果有一天我变得更复杂
　　还能不能唱出歌声里的puy uma

I love this song. It describes well how I feel about the world today. Anyways, it's a song by a Taiwanese orang asli. Thumbs up!

Cranial Nerve

Marcus Gunn Sign = Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect?

i think they are the same... but I was kinda surprised why the CR didnt know wot RAPD was. Hence, my writing of this post. I am puzzled. Still.

Library is closing.

(plz enlighten me!!!) ^^v



Cheers,
Jing.

Whoa, I am back!

Finally finally finally. I am able to access internet since god-knows-how-many-days ago. And now, I've got only an hour plus to do my studies and Bloggy!!! *sigh*

Oh wells, this is my 4th day at the Neurology department.

Interestingly enough, I am given 2 patients to manage all by myself, and of course every decision that I make needs to be co-signed by my supervisor, the CR (chief resident). In fact, I was in the kelam-kabut state on the whole monday and tuesday morning, not knowing wot to do. I was literally blank!!! In addition, they are too tech-oriented for me to follow. The hospital is practically paperless.

On another unpleasantly interesting note, they hardly do physical examinations here, starting from the clerks, interns, residents and even the young specialists. Actually I was quite stunned. However, I decided to learn from their strong points, i.e. one of them is of course the technology.

Sometimes I just feel that some of us (both doctors as well as student-doctors) have become too specialized that our patients, on the other end of the spectrum suffer because they do not get treated as a whole. Do patients get really well if we spend more than 90% of our time reading MRI and CTs? Personally, I dont think so.

Try putting ourselves in their shoes, wot do we expect of our doctors? I strongly feel that there is this non-white and non-black area in the midst of black and white. The same goes for EBM and humanity in the practice of medicine. Strike a balance, mate!!!



Cheers,
Jing. See ya soon!!!

2nd Day, Taipei - Jioufen - Yehliu - Jiaoxi

Today's definitely much better, thanks to the modest Jioufen village,
and 1 more thing: no used condom!!!
As usual, tiredness has already crept into mah soul... 
ah... before I forget, I realized that...
I am more of a backpacker rather than ground tour follower. 
Ok without further ado, 
lemme introduce the pictures of the day *wink* :

National (they are not really a nation) Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. The 4 chinese characters 大中至正 simply means errr... INTEGRITY, the value of which should be imprinted into the Malaysian politicians' minds.

Poems on the pedestrian walk.
没有爱情 这世界 只能再也无须留恋了. gosh, I am starting to miss home. I am starting to miss the ones I love.

Another political gimmick? Reminds me of what they will do before the general election back home. *sigh*

Proud to be a chinese.
It was taken @ the National Museum, voted one of the bests in the world. For your info, there are more than 600,000 masterpieces in there. However, 
there will be only a couple of thousands displayed. 
Where are the rest? They are being kept in the mountain behind the museum,
heavily guarded by the army because any 1 piece inside there can make you a trillion-aire.


Isn't the museum magnificent? Unfortunately, we are not allowed to snap a picture inside.


Being me, I decided challenge the impossible. Needless to say, I was caught and being warned!!! *what a n00b*


Jioufen, City of Sorrow, 悲情城市。


Inside the village.


Another view inside.


Another view of Jioufen.


Yehliu Geopark.



Queen's Head @ Yehliu Geopark.

I am writing this post from here!!! and dead tired...:P



Till then,
Jing is Tiredo Sleepo.

1st Day, Nan Gang, Taipei

I am really really tired. So I am just gonna post some pictures... lol... there's nothing much really... most of the time was just spent on the plane, car and bus. ok, so here it goes:


This is my vehicle from 1525 - 2000.


There's only 1 Kuala Lumpur there... 


Dad & I @ Taoyuan International Airport, Taipei.


King of France Palace Hotel (sounds grand but not really!!!)


Hotel Lobby, very europian-ish, and at times, erotic!!!


Another example of the europian-ism.


SPARTAAAA!!!


And lastly, after showering, we (dad & I) took a walk around the area @ 11:30pm.


Signing off now,
Jing is tired.

oh oh, wait wait... the reason why I said the hotel looked and sounded great but not really is because my dad accidentally stepped on a USED condom!!! HOLY MOLLY!!! *speechless*, explains the erotic pictures and guide's words (he told us that the hotel is full of romance!!! *eww*) really really well!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrr... what will you do if you were us???

oh wells, I can only hope that tomorrow will be the start of all the excitement. and I really really need to oink oink already.


Signing off again,
For real. ^^v

心灵之程

In less than 4 days, I will be on the Taiwan soil, with the main objectives of completing my medical electives and selectives.

and yeah, I am super excited. 

Come to think of it, it's been almost 4 years now since I last stepped on any foreign soil.

I've been busy recently, doing all the packing, visa and planning of how I wanna spend my time in Taiwan in the most cost-effective way, as we all know, budget!!!

I categorize my trip into 3 portions/phases: 1. Backpack + Tour around the island, 2. Selectives + Electives and 3. Attending the World Tzu Chi Camp for University Students.

Hopefully, I will be able to travel, keep learning and most importantly mature spiritually (This is the most important reason why I chose Tzu Chi General Hospital in Hua Lien)



Tzu Chi General Hospital, Hua Lien


till then,
jing is too busy packing... :P

Muka Dua Puluh Satu - Dua

That's all for today. I am exhausted. Bravo Man UTD!!!

Uncensored

Your Blogging Type is Unique and Avant Garde

You're a bit ... unusual. And so is your blog. You're impulsive, and you'll often post the first thing that pops in your head. Completely uncensored, you blog tends to shock... even though that's not your intent. You tend to change your blog often, experimenting with new designs and content.

What's Your Blogging Personality?

OMG, most are true... except for the impulsive part :P

Life

... look bottom right

Patients are our best teachers

but yet...

I couldn't help but to flick it from sasha, hope you don't mind. i think people in this field need to know this.

A specialist once said, "Some of you are religious people. You are willing to spend 2 hours in the church, mosque or temple, but do you spend 5 minutes holding the hand of the patient in your ward? 5 minutes talking to the patient in your clinic?"

Confusion + ex-IVDU

28-year-old gentleman who presented with acute confusion and was an ex-ivdu. Diagnosis?

Finally

Yeah, I decided to blog. Reasons? To share. Afterall, writing is much more interesting than reading other ppl's blog. Life is short, why not we share and live lives to the fullest. =)


*actualy I am testing how my blog turns out to be (hidden agenda)

*n00b trying to learn how to blog*

cheers,
jing.
