The Red Tide

That day after a meal of seafood,had vomitting plus diarrhea,though it was red tide(seafood induced).But later i think it was just a pure food poisoning....

Harmful algal blooms in Malaysia occur only in the South China Sea in the coastal waters of west Sabah, where the causative organism is the dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum.

Blooms occur periodically every year, when the dinoflagellate produces paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP) in shellfish, eventuating symptoms of paralyses and deaths in humans since 1976.

An increase in nutrients (mainly NO3-N and PO4-P) concentrations in the water which occurred after rainfall episodes were found to initiate blooms of Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum, however continuous rainfall did not sustain the blooms due to a decrease in the salinity of the water.

Monitoring of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP) is carried out by the Fisheries Department Sabah and is based on shellfish samples collected in the infested area using the mouse-bioassay technique of toxin analyses. Often the detection of the toxin in the shellfish occurs long after the bloom of the dinoflagellate in the plankton. There have also been reports of PSP poisoning occurring even when cell densities of the dinoflagellate are low.

Seafood mania

Today was another turbulant day in ward,just wana get over it and move on...Went back home and had one hour of nap,then woken up by SE,SEAFOOD!!!!!!!!

Suppose to go Tg Aru,but then it rain like cats and dogs....sleeping was a great option for analgesia....

The road to Gayang restaurant was a bit ulu,but then the food awaiting were unimaginable.Cheap and superb in taste.Not to mention the size of the prawns,fishes,and other varieties of seafood that i never seen before.....

Glad all of us enjoyed the meal...and HK is leaving us tomorrow,now our house will have less people....with house as spacious as this sure will double the emptiness...Just wish him all the best....and i am impressed with his courage...

In September

All the things I still remember

Summers never looked the same

Years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

While driving back after my evening swim,listening this new song-September from Daughtry,brings back tons of memories....though it may in the begining of everything new,looking back all the things that i left behind....cant help but wanting to turn back time...Sometime im just amazed how much had came and passed by,and here i am in another phase of my life....(driving some more...gasp)....Yeah,some moments are worth to relive again,maybe now i should be focusing on creating moments to be relive again...:)

In the middle of September

We still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

Coming here was such a big and sudden decision, so many obstacles,so many diffculties,and im still standing here with the help and guidance from family,friends,and people i've met and knew here,how fortunate i am.Perhaps this is the best thing that could happen to me all along....i guess i will know it in the end?

Yeah we knew we had to lose this time

But we never knew when, and we never knew how

We would end up where we are

Yeah we knew we had to leave this town

But we never knew when, and we never knew how
Never knew anything

In the process,there always gaining and losing.Learn from mistakes,learn to be more open hearted and positive.Last but not least learn to live a life that i wanted....Nothing is for sure,so why not seize every moments in life ???Life is too short after all isn't it?

I simply loved rooming in...

I love rooming in....a place where plenty of discharges,less workload,less acute problems,more time for to think,plus a super nice MO is a bonus on top of that....Finally i dont have to have palpitation all day long....at least let the myocardium to atrophy a bit....

Today it was the first time i went to forensic lecture,took a long long route,but in the end reach on time,my colleague sure think im super blur....after the lecture today,i accidentally went to town,and accidentally went into Centre Point,(ignoring the fact that some selfish person asked me to came out from there after i took the parking ticket)

Watched a movie filled with death,bought some nice anime dvds'(Bleach of course),bought my reading material of the month....ahh....meaningful day....yes,i must do this often.Mkae good use of the remaining days in Rooming in....

Hot Sunday Afternoon...

It's really a hot sunday afternoon.Manage to drag myself up early in the morning today to bring this tired soul to work....but God is kind to me today,given me less work and early time off to go home....recently felt so empty,i meant empty minded for my blog...dont know where to start or what to write....

Stumble across this photo i took ...cute little masha masha....Days in Oncology was hectic sometimes but my patients are such a joy to be with....Hope they win the battle soon,as my battle is still going on....
