A. Tags
Dear Shern Ai,
i've already done the tag that you asked me to do
here The one that you asked me to is shorter, missing part 6 (and has the extra part about what u'd like for your birthday). As such, i'm of 2 minds whether i should retag you or not :P
And i LUV your drawings! you definitely have a gift for fashion :D


B. Words
Ppl often comment on my 'eloquence' and the "gift of gab". however, for all my 'fluency', there are words that often trip me up. ever since i was small, there would be some words which ALL would be able to pronounce except me (for some unknown reason)
Examples:

  1. grape --> gwape
  2. biscuit --> bisscut
  3. businessman--> busy-nessman
  4. Singapore --> chee-mee-ngoh

in fact, in the healthcare field, there are quite a few similar minefields as well. these headaches force me to slow down and eunenciate each syllable properly :(

  1. abdominal --> abdominable (i.e horrible)
  2. anatomy --> anna-tommy (literally meaning removal of anna)
  3. colchicine --> col-chee-skin
  4. simulated patients --> stimulated patients
  5. choleliathisis (i.e. gallstones)
  6. cholecystoliathaisis (CT scan of the upper abdomen showing multiple gallstones)
  7. choledocholithisis (stones in the common bile duct) --> chole-ko-do-ko-......le thiasis

C. Song titles

You know how when you open MSN messenger, got a whole list of who's online and sum times, even what they're listening to. which is what mine does. imagine if you were online, and you suddenly saw me listening to songs that were entitled: (try and guess the genre)

  1. The Memory of Trees
  2. The man with the Child in His Eyes
  3. Book of Days
  4. Free Yourself
  5. Watermark
  6. To the Unknown Man
  7. Women of Ireland
  8. Shephard Moons
  9. in Search of Transperancy
  10. Reaching for the other side
  11. Forgotten worlds
  12. The garden of your heart
  13. Crystal child

bet there's lots of -_-" and o_O

Gary was apparently rofl-ing when he saw the above, trying unsuccesfully to figure out what i was listening to. Btw, it was Celtic music and instrumentals :D
