of american movie and taiwanese series

holidays have been a week..
what have i done so far?

i went for two bowling try-out sessions..
lost to 2 different guys who i went with, Damien and Ickes!
i need a lighter ball.. i need an 8!

i also read a book in a day.. 500 pages, no joke..
i watched a movie with Melissa, Joo Yong, Shing Lung and
believe it or not, my long lost primary schoolmate Shaun!

we watched State of Play..

it was a pretty abrupt decision made at the counter..
as other shows we initially wanted to watch were out of our schedule!
all we knew it was about crime and nothing else..
we did not what to expect or anticipate..
but the movie was really really good!

the main characters.. clockwise:
Ben Affleck, Robin Wright Penn, Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams

senior reporter Cal McAffrey and junior reporter Della Frye

things revolved around Congressman Stephen Collins

Helen Mirren as the boss Cameron Lynn meeeting with the cops

digging for answers..

the wife of his close friend whom he slept with last time..

the entire movie started out with 3 deaths..
and these journalists are out to report the truths..
drama eventually unfolds intelligently in front of us..
a puzzle for us to solve, easy to understand.. =)

i also watched a drama in a week..
there was only 12 episodes i think.. short, simple and sweet!

ToGetHer a.k.a. Superstar Express / 爱就宅一起 *click*

starring Rainie Yang as Momo..
the girl whose name nobody can remember..
whose presence or absence is often forgettable..
whose life revolved around her favourite comic and its character..

Prince Casaba.. her fantasy and her life!

until one day, Mars starred by Jiro Wang stepped into her life.
not only as her classmate but her housemate as well!
Mars, a has-been celebrity who lost the status of his..
but who still has fans adoring him..

Mars singing with his band, formed before he was famous..

not forgetting Momo's childhood friend, Jia Sen..
who never grew up since the day they met..
a soon-to-be successful swimmer who is likes Momo very much..
George Hu played this character pretty well.. =)

Jia Sen and Momo during his birthday in the zoo..

hatred towards each other became love and care..

Mars singing the song 默默 specially written for her, Momo..

watch their ups and downs.. pretty good on-screen couple! lol..

watch the trailer and enjoy the show!


that's all for now.. =)

semester 1: life as a dental student

wow! time really really flies~
i am now on my 4-week semester break..
so the next time i step into my university, i'll be in semester 2!
according to our seniors, we'll have a hell of a time!!!
i got to be really prepared.. FIGHTING~~~

anyway, i realized that my recent post are about outings and food..
so many pictures of food that reminds me of Chun..
go and have a look at his blog and you'll know why.. hehe..
but i did not do it on purpose, i swear!

i shall change it a little this time around..
just a sneak peak of some of the things i learned in Semester 1..
excited to know? i have tried avoiding posting some pictures..
just in case my friends who don't take biology can't take it.. haha..

for Foundation part I, about 2 hours of morning lectures daily..
we basically touched the surface of all the systems in our body..
each system takes around a week to cover..

the very basic cell structures and their functions

enzymes (blue) and substrates (yellow)

skin structures: thick and thin skin seen here..

muscles of the body: muscle fiber is shown..

joints of the body..

haemopoiesis which means formation of blood cells..

lymphatic system: only the head and neck region is seen here..

the thorax region..

our heart and cardiac cycle..

respiration: its structures and mechanism..

urinary system.. i think this kidney is pretty.. hehe..

the digestive system.. i like large intestine the best..

ovulation.. this is awesome! only happens once a month in females!

fertilization.. we saw videos of this.. super funny!

cell division: late telophase under the microscope..

DNA karyotype..

not forgetting Biochemistry, Statistics and Behavioral Science..
there were no pretty diagrams for these topics.. so yeah..

up next is about Dental Science 1..
around 2-3 hours each day, 3 times a week.. =)

craniofacial embryology: this is us when we are 7-week old..

craniofacial osteology.. this is nice! =)

trigeminal nerve..

blood supply of the head and neck region..

muscles of facial expression and mastication..

triangles of the neck..

identify teeth: incisors, canines, premolars and molars..

every line on this mandibular second molar has a name!

tooth emergence for deciduos and permanent dentition..

formation of dental tissues.. enamel is seen here.. cool eh?

and finally salivary glands and saliva..

lectures aside, we also had Problem Based Learning (PBL) sessions..
for semester 1 one session per week.. research takes time you see..
but for next semester, it'll be two session per week .. oh no!

there are also Medical Museum sessions on a weekly basis..
and occasionally lab work and clinic sessions..
i like these especially when there is hands-on work to do.. =)

i guess that's about it.. hope you enjoyed your journey..
cos i really did! can't wait for Semester 2.. =P
but happy holidays for now~


UPDATE: It's my final semester!
