just wondering..

how amazing it is. how life begins and grows. how each of us came from one tiny egg and sperm. how we all grew for 9 whole months in our mother's womb. and how these foetuses actually can yawn, suck their thumb (and show a preference for right or left hand), kick, frown, form a bond with his/her mother by hearing her voice each day, and even sleep and dream!

yes. the result of watching too much tv and studying biology. was watching this show on national geographic called in the womb. it's so fascinating! it traces the fetal development for 9 whole months from conception to birth. and even an up close and personal shot of this woman giving birth and how the baby's head first appears at the vaginal opening and as the mother pushes, more and more of the baby appears and the nurse actually yanks (or from my view) the baby out and also to ease the mother's pain. then only after awhile the baby starts wailing. and you know what...when we're in our mother's womb we get out oxygen from our mother and our lungs don't work at all. but upon delivery, it's like reflex and instinct, our lungs just kick in and immediately start filling with air to supply the baby with oxygen!

okok. weekends are really my tv times. i watched another episode of desperate housewives and medical investigation. ooo.. medical investigation was so cool. it was this unknown outbreak of disease that infected 25 ppl in bahamas. first they suspected it was tuberculosis cos the first symptom was chest pains. but noo...x-rays were negative. then they suspected legionellosis..haha we also learn in sch before. but nooo..bacterial cultures were negative. and 1 person died! so they worked at double the speed and discovered it was a fungal infection that is transmitted by spores. the spores were present in marijuana that patient zero was smoking and he stashed it in the vent, which spread to neighbouring rooms and the spores were left on his young daughter's sweater.

i'm such a geek.

hee so cool. last week has been studying week in school with renchun and an assorment of friends. and he gave me a ride on his bike back to hall. haha my first time. the wind was sosososo strong. but quite exhilirating. :) thanks renchun. oh and we ordered canadian pizza and KFC on 2 i'm-so-bored-of-studying nights. so one big group of friends happily pigging out on fast food gives more motivation to study more.

though.... i'm growing fat....
