If I Were a Boy

This song is fantastic! Boys might not like it for obvious reasons...

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake,
think i'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

but your just a boy

Green Man

The Incredible Hulk, Hell Boy.....what do they have in common??

They are human-like creatures that have distinctive skin colour.

For instance, the Hulk has green skin, while, Hell Boy has red skin.

Now, who would imagine that such skin colour actually DOES exist in this world??

Today, I met a GREEN man (he probably holds the world record for being SO GREEN!).

Yeap...no kidding. He is as GREEN as the Hulk, but with a darker shade. Nope, he didn't paint himself green. He is naturally green because he has too much bilirubin in his body! His liver is in fulminant failure, and I think he's not going to live very long. But, he was a real eye opener!

Hi, I am Dr. Death

I think one of the most obvious duty of a doctor that was NEVER stated in the job description is to break bad news to patients. Before I entered the clinical years of medicine, it never occurred to me that one day, I would be the one giving the patients bad news. And now, it has happened. Nothing could be worse than telling a patient that he or she has cancer, and only has a few more months to live.

And to add more "spice" into my life, what coincidence that I had to inform 2 of my patients that they have cancer on the same day! I felt like Dr. Death. In the morning, I sat down with a lovely patient, and broke the news to her that she has metastatic cancer. No matter how I tried to let the news out gently, I found it so difficult to even say the word "cancer." But I have no choice. I paused for a split second to wait for her reaction. And as expected, she broke down into tears. I felt myself welling up with tears too....but I told myself that I can't be crying with the patient... I need to be strong for her....to give her support. Not easy...especially when I can be rather emotional too.

Later in the afternoon, I thought my day was going to be better. Huh! Dream on! I discovered that another patient has an irregular shaped mass in her body. Sigh. I dreaded going through the whole process again. Anywho, I approached the patient. Luckily, her husband was with her. This patient admitted that she has thought whether she has cancer....and she was kind of mentally prepared for the bad news I broke to her. Unfortunately, as cancer is associated with death, she started to cry. Although I think her cancer is in the early stages and likely treatable, the general population would think that death is inevitable in a few years' or months' time.

Sigh. I felt like an evil person at the end of the day. I couldn't help but think that I had the Death Aura around me. I wondered, why in the world did I choose this profession.....I hate telling patients that they have cancer. I have done it many times since I started working...and you would think that it gets easier. Yeah rite.

Rock 'n' Roll Star

"Slip inside the eye of your mind,
don't you know what you might find,
a better place to play.
You said that you've never been
but all the things that you've seen
will slowly fade away."

"How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?"

hehehe....
ooohh....I love Oasis, especially when they sing my favourite songs!
I am not a particularly crazy fan, but I thought it would be a excellent to catch them live! And I DID!

hehe... yes, they performed live in the SECC, Glasgow 2 days ago. And, it was a good performance. The whole concert hall was FULL! Although standing amongst the crowd would have been really fun, but I was glad that I bought seating tickets. The crowd was crazy; it was close to a stampede, and alot of them were performing the usual Glaswegian ritual of throwing beer around the hall. So I was glad that I escaped that!

They started off by singing "Rock n Roll Star," and they continued to belt out a few songs from their new album "Dig Out Your Soul." I felt that the performance was short, but that was partly because I really enjoyed it. The sang continuously for about 1 hr or so....and did an encore for 30 to 40 mins. They finished off with the song "I'm a Walrus," which was a hit song by the Beatles.

My ears were deafened by the end of the performance...but I really enjoyed it. Now I have their songs playing over n over again in my head! hehe. Loving it! Maybe I should catch their performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, with Kasabian and The Enemy, next summer? hmm...well, I will see what my working schedule is like first, because I think that gig will be held on a weekday.
