Is That Your Identity?

Been researching about Med stuff... And learnt a couple of new things about pathology thanks to wiki. Woo ok so some random stuff about pathology.

BENLOW'S SUMMARY OF PATHOLOGY
(Koped partially from wiki)

1. Pathology is the study of diseases, its causes, processes and potential cures.

2. Pathology is divided into two main branches: anatomical pathology and clinical pathology.

3. Anatomical pathology: The study of a body's tissues or cells to diagnose disease

4. Clinical pathology: The study of bodily excretions to diagnose disease

5. To be a forensic pathologist, you first have to specialize in pathology after medicine, then branch to anatomical pathology after that.

6. Which means a super long period of study. Aww man.

7. Reasons why disease arise include the following:
a) Trauma (People whacking you very very hard)
b) Infection (Bacteria or viruses entering your body)
c) Poisoning (Eating some weird chemical)
d) Loss of blood flow (Wounds or heart malfunctions)
e) Autoimmunity (Reactions from foreign entities in your body)
f) Inherited genetic damage (Certain genes passed on from your parents)
g) Errors in development (Something goes wrong with your growth)

8. Pathologists either work in labs or mortuaries.

9. Pathologists either do lots of autopsies or lots of experimental procedures.

10. Most other kinds of doctors working in hospitals have to rely on pathologists to give them information on what the problem with their patients are if diagnosis is not apparent initially.

I'm quite excited about it actually. Morbid for the typical person, yes. But I'm not exactly a very normal guy anyways. I really do want to do this so much.

More random info:
Second choice job ~ Criminal Psychologist!

Got a bit of inspiration from "Iron Man", the biography of Neivelle Tan, the dangerous gangster turned pastor in order to make that decision. My Dad passed it to me to read, and its a really powerful story of the change from a sceptic full of hatred, vengefulness, to a whole hearted believer changed by the power of a few words from the bible. And it all happened in a prison.

So perhaps... Maybe perhaps. I'll go there and see what I can do?

List of fun stuff I intend to do:
1. Watch latest Bleach manga and anime episodes
2. Watch latest Naruto manga and anime episodes
3. Play 1 hour trial versions of MSN games
4. A bit of experimenting on RPG Maker XP
5. A bit of experimenting on M.U.G.E.N?

Better do these before the next round of exams come around.

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
