B-O-R-E-D

It was the most tiresome night ever, yesterday night literally. My YM had some sort of connection problems early that morning and I think that it had sumthing to do with the proxy settings. Whatever. It turned out to be OK later that evening and as a compensatory mechanism I enjoyed a nice chitchat with some dear friends when suddenly everything went wrong. The friendster page took like forever to load and the horrifying words unexpectedly showed up "the server is temporarily unavailable". The YM got automatically disconnected by itself.

I had the ADSL modem restarted then, hoping that there was just a minor interference or so but I waited for like 1 hour and I gave up. One brilliant idea crossed my mind as I stared blankly at the computer screen. The snazzy list of links in my blog is in need of a bit touch up, well, after a dormant period for quite a time. Muahaha. Here are the steps taken :

1) compiling all the photos/pictures

2) choosing the appropriates backgrounds (already hid well in my PC)

3) running the adobe photoshop CS software

4) resizing the canvas so that it will be formally standardized

5) copying, feathering and pasting the pictures onto the canvas

6) scribbling the names down

7) utilizing some provided basic effects for the pics and the fonts (bevel, emboss, glow, shadow bla bla bla)

8) saving em up as psd and jpeg files

9) done

Well, I have got here more than 25 names here so that I couldn't concentrate on one, as there was lack of ideas and creativity. You guys may logically note that creating one banner will result in a better result rather than putting all 25 banners together. It drained out all your ideas. Having said that, I do apologize if your banner doesn't appear to be alluring or enticing. After all, I randomly chose on the colors, backgrounds and fonts without deciding who should be having which background and colors. My apologies. But if you guys are not satisfied with my amateur work, just tell me and I will create a new one, a better one perhaps~

WARNING :

1) After putting those banners up, it seems that the link box are so crowded and messy but I kinda love it, take a deep breath and lets cajun my way~~

2) The file size for each banner is approximately 20kb. Dial-up internet users may face difficulties in loading the page, sorry for that~

3) Some banners are rather smaller than others, will be fixed later~~

Post script : the tagging thingy will follow soon~~ (it seems that ihab's unyielding immunization protocol had some major influences on me)

A review : Peptic Ulcer Disease

Hello guys, well, here I am again, alone, as syapi has gone back to Malaysia early this morning, erm, wishing u a pleasant journey tho, bon voyage. Yet, I have one full week to enjoy with (kat jordan). It will be a remarkable one I think as I am still in my holiday mood. After all, I've got 8 more weeks of holidays to think of.

BTW, the relapsing peptic ulcer keeps assailing me nowadays in spite of my so-organized food managing scheme (breakfast, lunch and dinner on time) and last night, I've got this heartburn sensation over my epigastria region. Upon self-examination, the pointing sign which is a characteristic of PUD, is positive (pointing sign appears to be positive when one can precisely point at the site of the pain, not a diffuse one though) meaning that PUD has once again succeeded in overwhelming my confidence and dignity as well as the frame of my mind. I ran out of the house and bought myself FAMODAR (famotidine) which selectively block the H2 receptor ( resulting in diminished acid secretion from the parietal cells) and to my relief, the symptoms and the pain ceased down after like one hour or so.

Do correct me if I am wrong on the infos below.

PUD is actually a discontinuity of the mucosal epithelium lining the stomach or duodenum and Helicobacter Pylori remains as the major basis, found in nearly 80 percent of all PUD sufferers. Stress, NSAID abuse, smoking and etcetera may precipitate one's problem. We have got here 2 types of medical treatment or the what-so-called the step-up treatment and the step down one. In the step-up method, you start with the weakest drugs followed by a stronger one and vice versa, meaning that if I use the step-down therapy, I will begin with Proton Pump Inhibitor (blocking the K/H pump) and then followed by H2 Blocker, antacids etc.

If left untreated, I must say that the ulcer may lead to certain complications:

1) bleeding - one may encounter melena, which is black faeces resulting from the digested blood on the upper GIT
2) perforation - your ulcer may go deep enough to create a small hole
3) gastric outlet obstruction resulting from the fibrosed scars

The complications may lead to death~~

BTW the triple eradication therapy is the golden rule, if one wishes to have the H.Pylori forever exterminated. It is a combination of three drugs, the Proton Pump Inhibitor, Metronidazole and Tetracycline. Well, I have purchased those three drugs from a pharmacy for like 2 years ago but unfortunately I keep postponing the therapy hence they reached the expiry date without me noticing em muahaha.

bottomline : Prevention is always better than cure, so, take care of yourselves guys~~

An update, a simple one

Consider this as an update from me, a simple one tho. Well the intense blogosphere condition may sometimes affect thy mood and that's is just normal.

Ijat has finally moved onto blogspot and that is just great. Friendster blog sucks all da time and that's so true when it comes to photo uploading, chatterbox fixing, commenting and etcetera. Blogspot on the other hand hosts a wide variety of additional features including the countless skins over the net and the user-friendly trait of hers.

I will definitely choose blogspot over friendster blog.

p/s: the friendster blog notification system is sooooo annoying ~~

H-O-M-E A-L-O-N-E

Back in 1990s, I was undoubtedly the number one fan of Home Alone series. Macaulay Culkin played the role as an eight year-old boy, who was accidentally left behind while his family flew to France for Christmas. Obviously, he had to wisely guard his home against some reckless burglars when they broke into his house but blessed with a smart and strong psyche, he sketched some good plans up and naturally the best man won. I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching these series.

So here is the unseen relations, Fird had flown to the land of the prophets, Egypt for a fortnight and I am so sure he is currently enjoying the breathtaking views of Cairo. Syafi with a bunch of first-year juniors, are off to Damascus and Lebanon for like a couple of days and here I am, home alone muahahaha. On a bright side, I am totally in control of the house, but on the other hand, I have no one to talk to i.e lonely. I have to cook lunch and dinner myself as well. Auspiciously I have got here a bunch of DVDs of movies and popular TV-Series and life will not be that boring.

But I dont really mind about being home alone. After all, I am still joyously running on the cloud nine for my final examination results have finally marked the end of my fifth year. Yes, I got through all eleven papers and I will be an officially 6th year student in a couple of weeks i.e. July. Hence, last night, I kinda celebrated the joyous moment of my life by having a feast in Pizza Hut. We ordered 2 large stuffed-crust chicken and beef supreme pizza + baked pasta + garlic breads etc. A jolly moment it was. May this very moment last forever, I really do hope so.

Alhamdulillah Praise be to Allah

Subhanallah Glory be to Allah, the Everlasting and Eternal

Thanks oso guys for your sincere prayers.

I may not be seeing you again, dear minors (my fifth-year course outline), but I will always miss you and that is a promise. An eternal one.

wut does it feel to be alone at home? cold and lonely~~ muahaha

Independence Day

I am now a free man. The battle finale of my fifth year took place the day before yesterday. The Radiology paper was fairly tricky, I couldnt even think how did they manage to construct intricate questions like that, sigh. But still, it was over. The results will of course be announced next week and I have some sort of persistent palpitation incessantly knocking my heart back and forth. The announced result will significantly mark the end of my fifth yeah (if I get thru all the 11 papers) yet it will also be most awful thing ever comes to pass if I happen to repeat my fifth year. Yet I have to enjoy before the result comes out, whatever happens.

Nevertheless, it was quite a wonderful day, I meant, Thursday. Waving goodbye to some Arab colleagues (as we will meet again in 2-month time), I went home with blossoming anticipation. S-W-I-M-M-I-N-G. I am neither an expert nor an amateur swimmer but getting your body under the cold 2.2 m chlorinated water under brilliant sunny sunshine was just the correct thing to do after the final battle. It has therapeutic effects on your body and mind, I partially believed in that. Went home and took a peaceful long nap, the best ever since earlier during the examination period, I was insomniac (haha).

Later that night, we brought our bodies (my housemates and I) over to McD. A post-exam celebration cum Fird's bufday party that was. I ate a whole McSpicy chicken set plus a pack of crunchy apple pie and went home. Charmed watching came next and that was it. What a day it was. After all, it was my independence day J.

BTW this is my to-do list. I have to come out with some luminous tasks so that the holiday will not be so dull and tedious.

1) Room overhauling. Notes are scattered everywhere on the floor and there are plenty of unwashed plates and glasses on the table of mine. Carpeted floor is in need of vacuuming and the shelves require a real touch up.

2) Laundry. The nastiest part it is.

3) Data reshuffling. I am tired of watching those unarranged files and folders in the hard disk and I am gonna get rid of these unused files for good.

4) Anime + movie watching. Bleach and Naruto. Xmen 3, Da Vinci Code plus an endless list of other series.

5) Maple Mapler and Mapling. I miss my ice and lightning power.

6) DVD Writing. I have given my words to some that I will bring back some downloaded series back to Malaysia, sigh~

7) Eating

8) Sleeping

Infertility

A male taxi driver this afternoon asked me about semen analysis. I was on my way back to Irbid after sorting my ONG final mark out (it was posted on the board) when he asked me some medical questions. Well, he naturally knew about me being a medical student after looking at my tag and notes (was carrying handful notes of radiology) and he handed a piece of semen analysis result to me and asked me to interpret the findings. Well,I looked through the piece of paper and said nothing for approximately a minute. In spite of everything, I am not too interested in this topic and. recalling the data was not that easy. His test result came out to be normal. Well a normal semen analysis, as I can remember, is characterized by this WHO-approved features

1) The semen volume should be more than 2 ml

2) Sperm concentration ranges between 20-250 M/ml

3) The total sperm count should surpass 80M/ejaculation

4) The vitality of the sperms ( % alive) should be more than 75 percent

plus many other semen characteristics (pH, WBC, immunobead etc) and sperm morphology ( head, neck, tail defect)

Well, I didnt provide him with additional information since I am not a specialist, ayte?.

The widespread misunderstanding here, in our society is that women are the sole cause of infertility. This is absolutely ridiculous as men contribute for at least 40 percent of infertility in infertile couples. Believe it or not (matila feeling ripleys believe it or not). Tubal, ovulation, hormonal, uterine defects and are all the female factors that contribute to infertility while male factors include the semen itself, impotence and ejaculation failure.

Environmental condition may adversely affect the fertility and some of the people out there are not too concerned about these bits and pieces. So below, are my suggestions and take some times to ponder.

1) Do not smoke! Smoking lowers the sperm count up to 17 percent and there will be some sort of mutagenic changes in the sperm morphology. As a result, there is a bigger risk of miscarriages.

2) Dont have long soaks in hot bath tub or sauna since it impairs the sperm production. Well, it will be restored, in 4-5 months later.

3) Try to reduce your weight especially in female since it is counter productive to conception

4) Try to soothe down your emotions. Dont get too stressed.

5) Pesticides. Try to avoid chemical substances as they will cause infertility (especially in males.

There are many more but I can only think of these at the moment. Any other suggestions? BTW these are the modifiable factors ( which means that we can modify em) and do take the points into considerations. Prevention is always better than cure rite?

S-L-E-E-P

I had an extremely long nap just now (again), to compensate for the sleepless night though. It is a norm for a medical student to stay up late at night on the day of the examination. Some say that it is not that good for your vigor and health and you may unexpectedly be experiencing the blank phase of a working wit during the exam.

Well, it depends then, in my humble opinion, on one's ability to be in command of his brain. It is the psychological factor that plays a bigger role here, rather than the brain power itself in determining the capability and aptitude of an individual. After all, we are basically overshadowing not more than 10 percent of our brains cortical area, astounding huh? The other 90 percent remains intact and untouched and this is just objectionable. Tell your brain what to do and not vice versa.

The statement above may partially be true, we should be in command of our very own brains but again here, one important question rises and it keeps lingering around me. Can we fight over the natural human physiological mechanism in the body? Sleeping is a natural process afterall.

I am getting more and more worried by time. Honestly, my sleep pattern is wrecked up during the final examination period. I sleep for lets say 2 hours at night, leave for exam in the morning and then and have a long nap at noon. I will then continue burying my nose deep in the books, and again have a nap before El-Maghrib and the pattern continues for nearly two weeks. When the sleep cycle is forcefully altered, then what is going to happen? I can feel that my body is getting more and more restless and the angelic mood of mine (matila perasan) changes too. Be afraid then muahahaha.

Now, back to the story, it is said that the growth hormone itself goes up to its max during the third and fourth stage of sleep. And FYI, GH (growth hormone) will affect testosterone secretion and they both interact synergistically to promote tissue growth and recovery. Obviously, alterations in the sleep-wake cycle can negatively affect testosterone levels and GH secretion. Now is that good? Sigh. Moreover, it is firmly believed that loss of sleep may affect Interleukin 6 (some sort of cytokine produced in the body) level and thus the integrity of the immune system functioning will face a catastrophe.

Enough talk, what are the resolutions then? Well, I have listed some hehe.

1) Get enough good sleep. It is the quality that matters (not the quantity)

2) Do not mix sleep pattern up. Do not fight with the destiny.

3) Sleep when you feel like sleeping, not otherwise

4) Just dont overdo it, every extra one hour of sleep will shorten 5 minutes of

your life span ( a myth maybe?)

Any other brilliant resolutions?

Off to S-T-U-D-Y table for the Ophthalmology paper. 2 more papers to struggle with. 2 more days to fight with.

Life Goes On

Am completely depressed. Utterly distressed. Absolutely disturbed. The world seems to be falling down around me.

After all the reading and memorizing days ago, my mind appeared to face a breakdown in the examination. It is not the blank phase of the working memory that bothered me, I could think very clearly, crystal clear. I had a pleasant sleep last night and a scrumptious breakfast this morning, hence I had adequate amount of glucose and oxygen supplied to the brain cortex of mine. Nevertheless it was an ordained fate, I suppose.

Well, here is the story. The exam started as early as 830 am and the sweat gland of mine started to secrete profuse amount of sweat after answering the first 20 questions. I COULD think properly (again, no blank mind) but then, the questions seemed to be extremely and awfully difficult, complicated as well. Whoa. I have never experienced this kind of situation where I sat on the chair and stared vacantly at the computer screen for quite a time. WTH is going on with me?

Finished answering all 100Q in 2 hours. Went back home and had a long long nap with the intention of alleviating the down swaying poignant mood. But then I woke up to find that the feeling is still down there, firmly attached to the heart by some sort of indissoluble dysphoric-mood molecular fibrins.

I have 4 more papers (and for more days) to fight with. ENT, Neurology, Ophthalmology and Radiology. Am fearfully waiting for the result to be announced next week. I HAVE TO pass this Obstetric and Gynecology paper in order to get into the sixth year. Full stop. Gottago guys, my head is spinning like crazy and my nose is stuffy. Plus, due to the up regulation of the thermoregulation center, I am slightly feverish. Gonna have a tablet or two of aspirin before dozing off. TTYL.

Sanah Helwah (arabic)

C dneom Razhdeniya (ruski)

Felicem Diem Natalem (latin)

It is now official. Yeah, I'm now a legitimately 23 year-old MAN, which means that I am no longer a youngster muahahaha. Well, it is not so cool to get older but that is life and that's how it goes on. Being a child provides you with a lot of privileges. You can act wrongly and of course will not be held responsible for any consequences. Plus, you don't have to be steadfastly standing on your calcaneus and tarsals since you have your parents to hold on to and this is just marvelous.

But on a contrary, as an adult, you are like the Famous Sinbad, a legendary sailor who traveled across the seas for escapades during the Abbasid Caliphate. Yup, we are the travelers in our own tales. We may bump into some hideous devils and gruesome monsters but on one bright side, it teaches us valuable experiences and skills for better lives. And me? At the age of 23, I'm one step further toward my sole carrier, a doctor and therefore, I aspire to be the best and sincerest physician ever. But again, I have to prepare myself with enough knowledge and skills to be one. Hmm that's tough.

Yet, I did not really celebrate my birthday this year. To think about it, I have 11 final papers to get through and so do my other friends. I'd like to throw like a feast or so but the circumstance tells its own story. And special thanks to fellow friends who wished a happy birthday to me via sms, YM, friendster, blog etc and allow me to utter my appreciations for the lovely presents given to me. Thanks for the dinner, sweets, chocolates, cakes, frames, teddies, mini cars, and many other accessories and special thanks for the black Harry Potter T-shirt (delivered with an exclusive harry potter tag). Paired with my black jeans, it looks so cool muahaha. Love it.

But actually it is not the precious gold or gifts that I look up to but you guys have given me the most precious gift I have ever had in my life, BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP, and that is more than enough. Thanks

My birthday wish list :

1) Hoping for Islam to once again rule the Ummah

2) World's peace and unity

3) No more whale-hunting

4) The restoration of the decaying ozone layers

6) Passing through the fifth and sixth year with flying colors

5) DVD Sony handy cam (thanks khalikok of Cardiff muahaha)

6) An N-Series Nokia mobile phone

7) Lelly and Baloo (thanks to you too)
