Something About an Anthology Ah, greetings, Kai-san.I see you have something new in tow. Care to share?
Oh, that. It's a comic anthology, with entries from the Art Club members of '09, '10, and '11.
The same anthology project which you had been procrastinating and despairing over a few months ago?
The same one. I actually managed to get everything done right before the deadline.
Guess you really do achieve amazing things in times of desperation.
You know, with my comic being positioned in close proximity with everyone else's, it easily shows where I stand in drawing proficiency.
I've always had this feeling that it'd look really horrible in comparison to the others if I didn't put in extra effort in the shading and colouring. But now that I see it, I'm actually pretty okay.
And for something completely hand-drawn, it's not that bad.
I still see the little specks of dirt, leftover pencil marks, and eraser dust from my hasty scanning.
At least there's less clutter in your panelling.
I suppose...

Community While applying for Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, I have to do an essay test and a couple of interviews. Today happened to be the essay test.I suppose the essay topic is something related to Medicine?
Actually, not always. Looking at the history of essay questions raised in the past, it appears that there is no set pattern nor common topic amongst the essay questions. Which means that there's no telling what they'll come up with.
So, in a sense, it's like your GP, just that you only have one question instead of 12 to work with.
Close enough. The topic was actually about community. Something like "describe your community and your place in it."
Oh my.
Yeah, I didn't see it coming. Fortunately, the broadness of the topic allowed me a lot of room to discuss, so the community I discussed was that of an online forum. In general.
An... online forum.
Hey, I can't go wrong if I fulfill the question's criteria, right?
Still, discussing something so out of the ordinary...
Ordinary is something I'm not always satisfied with.

SOYC So, today was SOYC - Start Of Year Continues. It's an annual convention held in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. And much like other conventions, there's lots of cosplay there.So, you're cosplaying again? I thought you didn't find suitable replacements for the Cardboard Gundam body.
Yeah, never got around to finding a proper replacement. Head's still nice and intact though.
Instead, I cosplayed with a bunch of my art club juniors. We planned it several weeks in advance. Though we couldn't get enough people, we did Team Fortress 2.
So, who exactly did you guys cosplay?
I cosplayed as The Scout, since his outfit was the simplest and could be improvised using what I already had in my wardrobe. A friend who previously did The Spy still had his costume in good condition. The only girl among us went as The Engineer, and she really put a lot of work into assembling her costume, complete with toolbox. One of us tried The Medic, but gave up after failing to complete the Medigun, while the remaining one who was going as The Soldier couldn't quite finish his rocket launcher.
So it wasn't all perfect (the paint on my bat was flaking off), but when you're cosplaying with a group, it doesn't matter how accurate the costume is, or whether your face is shown or not. Some people actually liked my cosplay despite the imperfections.
That's good to know. So I suppose it's mostly group photos you posed in?
Pretty much, though we did mix it up a little bit. The Spy cosplayer got all the cool spots since he's the one doing all the backstabbing. While it was unplanned, one of us brought a rather... distracting poster, in order to re-enact bits of gameplay where a Spy uses a diversion to create a chance for a backstab.
Ah, he also had a number of paper masks as "disguises". Hilarity ensues when he got the PaedoBear one and began handing out "free candy" to little girls around.
What about the event itself?
To be frank, there wasn't anything too interesting. Aside from the usual cosplay competition, there were tournaments for games I don't play - specifically, BlazBlue (fighting game) and Weiss Schwarz (card game). Nothing of note on sale that wouldn't attract unnecessary attention, either. Well, except for an artbook.
I suppose you had fun.
Definitely. Those soccer socks make me feel like I can really run and jump like The Scout.

Profit! So I entered a mini Yugioh tournament today. Unlike other instances, this one was unusually large - up to 54 participants taking part! Thus, the tournament was extended to 5 rounds of Round-Robin, with no top 8 positioning. This meant that the 8 participants with the most wins immediately get prizes.Went with my Macro Deck. Luck was awful. All my die rolls were 1's or 2's and I often went second.
Round 1: Lightsworns. Funny enough, I duelled this guy a few minutes before the tournament began, and crushed him. He told me not to meet him in tournament. So when we got to the table we were both "...This is awkward." He put up a good fight and won 2-1.
Round 2: Blackwings. Horrible luck got the better of me, and I got OTK'd by a 8000+ ATK Sirocco. 2-0 loss.
Round 3: Another Blackwings, though my luck was finally getting better. My Deck's main engine turned up soon enough, had good monsters to deal with what the Deck was playing, and eventually won 2-1.
Round 4: Crazy Synchro. I've played against him before, and many of his tricks are Graveyard-reliant, so he was aware that Macro builds trip him up and went all-out for the brief moment when my engines weren't running. It was a tough fight, and he narrowly won 2-1.
Round 5: Fabled. Grave-reliant Deck. While I did flatten it 2-0, it's quite amazing how much the Deck can load the Graveyard on the very first turn. Hats off to that person. Oh, and it's unusual to use card sleeves that match the Yugioh card backings, but MULTIPLE COPIES OF A HIGH-RARITY BANNED CARD as a backing? Man...
So, while I didn't win anything, I did get a prize of my own. Apparently the large population allowed me to sell cards that I could not have sold before, and I got a pretty sizeable revenue for it. XD

To the New Decade Well, first blog post of 2010.Hmm, it's a large milestone. What shall we do this time?
I'm not sure. We enter a new year, but somehow, life goes on without changing.
And I suppose New Year Resolutions aren't helping much.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure I lost track of the resolutions I've made last year.
What a pity. So, what do you resolve to do this year?
What else but to get my act together for the A-Levels? My macroeconomics is looking pretty messed-up.
Always good to start with here and now, huh.
Yeah. But, if I could, I'd aspire to develop antibiotic gel. Look at all the things it can do - it'll be a revolution in the medical industry!
Th-THAT antibiotic gel? Oh well, we'll see...
Yeah. We'll see.

Attachment, Final Days You're late again, I see.Yeah, I tend to get a little negligent when it comes to blogging at times.
So, the final days of the attachment... Well, we were running short on things to see and do in the hospital.
Last Tuesday was free observation, and a Colorectal Surgery Recovery programme, designed to help patients who are about to undergo operations know of the post-op risks and what is to be done. They even included a survivor of colorectal cancer to give a little talk. A pity that of all the patients about to undergo the op, only one had family free enough to turn up.
Wednesday was another ward round, followed up by occupational therapy. That's where they help patients with physical abilities attempt to get as independent as possible so they can live on after the op with minimal difficulty. Examples include teaching the patient how to get from the bed to the wheelchair while exerting minimal stress on the affected area.
...Another brief post. Guess having an attachment extending past a week when you're not a medical student yet can be a bit too long.
True.

Attachment, Days 5 and 6 Okay, I got lazy with blogging during the weekend, so today I'll cover Friday's and today's attachment days.-Friday-
Had a visit to the hyperbaric centre. This is where patients get to breathe pure oxygen at high pressures, so that more oxygen dissolves in their blood and their wounds get to heal faster. However, the centre doesn't afford therapy to just anyone - only those with more troublesome conditions, like wounds that take too long to heal, get treatment.
Following that, the National Cancer Centre. They showed us their research labs and tell us about what they've been doing to improve cancer treatment. Currently looking into getting the body's own immune system to identify the cancer cells as foreign cells and attack them. We then had a look around the chemotherapy wards and some of the scanning machines.
-Monday-
Wound management again. This time, it's mostly leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and foot amputees, along with necrotic tissue removal while changing the dressing. Gets a little boring over time when you're treating the same things over and over again.
Not sure what's in store for us next.
...That was short.

Attachment, Day 4 Today, it's a clinical attachment. Very similar to my previous one, where we just sit at one side of the clinic and watch and listen to the doctor communicate with the patient.A few differences between hospital clinics and neighbourhood clinics. For one, hospital clinics are manned by more specialized doctors. Ours was specialized in colorectal areas so all the patients seeing him were either having follow-up checkups or reporting colorectal problems.
...Yeah. That's more or less it. Since all the patients are having similar problems there's no need to go on and write about them. Time-consuming, page-consuming (in my notebook), and pretty much gives a wall of text that's bad for readers.
Well, that was short.
Next up is hyperbaric medicine, and a visit to the National Cancer Centre. Hmm...

Attachment, Day 3 Well, long day today, so let's see what happened here...Grand Ward Round in the morning. That's where we join a group of doctors going around and discussing the patients' diagnosis and stuff. Lots of use of medical terms so it got hard to follow about halfway in. This was followed shortly by a lecture on Infection Control, which is on stuff I kinda already know.
Most of the day's taken up by Wound Management. We followed a nurse around as she changed the dressings of several patients, while cleaning up any further complications that may have resulted. From what has been seen, abscesses (accumulation of pus, which causes inflammation) aplenty, and so there's plenty of pus drainage and extraction of necrotic tissue (dead flesh).
One notable patient was one who was subject to cancer on the scalp. They had to remove the surface tissue off his scalp (and also the rest of his hair), while also taking some flesh from the back as a graft. That one failed though, so that patient's got dressing where his hair would be, along with an incision wound down the back where they took flesh to graft. Whoa.
So, yeah, wound management is not for the faint of heart, as the patients may get pretty messed up depending on the condition and location.
Next up tomorrow is attachment to clinical doctors... haven't I done something like this before?

Attachment, Day 2 Today's all physiotherapy, where patients are allowed to exercise within their limits to prevent their muscles from going weak due to being bedridden for a long time.Did make a few interesting observations. Having been in a clinical attachment before, I can say that the general physiotherapists who aren't managing much exercise equipment work similar to clinical doctors.
With general physiotherapy done we took a look at some of the more specific physiotherapists - orthological physiotherapists (dealing with leg/hip injury patients) and neurological physiotherapists (dealing with anything that has hit the nerves). These people tend to go around and visit wards, as the patients normally are unable to move very far considering their conditions.
Got to see an EEG (a machine that reads brainwaves) in operation too. It's a little hard to understand the readings, but it's rather simple to get the big picture considering what the patient does and how the diagrams show it.
...That's more or less about it. Physiotherapy is quite dry, particularly when you've been exposed to it yourself prior to being discharged.
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Lots of different things scheduled.

Attachment, Day 1 Welcome back, it has been 1 month since your last post.I know, I know. I got lazy.
So, today my friend and I began our hospital attachment. It's going to last a week and a half, ending on the 23rd.
First day is the usual orientation to things. We were assigned to the Department of Polyposis Registry under Colorectal Surgery, where they log patients' history of polyps in the large intestine. This is indicative of likeliness of genetic disorders causing intestinal cancer.
We had a few opportunities to see some new things. For one, we were introduced to surgery simulators, where junior doctors can practice with endoscopes or minimally invasive surgery procedures without risking patients' lives. Interesting.
Later in the day we witnessed some colonoscopy demonstrations. Patient's given a sedative to become less anxious, while still conscious during the colonoscopy. The doctor also told us it has an amnesiac effect, so they don't remember much about the procedure. We saw 2 patients, one with no defects detected, while the other with [DATA EXPUNGED]
There's no reason to expunge data here. Nobody knows which patient if you stay vague with details.
Okay, fine. The second had hemorrhoidal vessels near the anus. These are enlarged vessels which are noticeable against the intestinal wall, and can develop into hemorrhoids, or piles.
...Well, that's about it for the first day. Next day, we're assigned to physiotherapy for the whole day.
...Oh, and I just started playing Trauma Center New Blood. Hands won't stop shaking. I suck with suturing and extraction. -_-

Living Through a Tube Well, there goes my 1-week break.On Tuesday I got hit with spontaneous pneumothorax.
When an air pocket forms between the lung and the chest cavity. If left unchecked it could expand and eventually result in death.
It first felt like an inner muscle cramp. I was hoping it was just that. Then the X-rays displayed otherwise. Ended up in hospital with a tube in my torso to drain the air pocket. They say I can get discharged once the air pocket shrinks to safe levels.
Next morning: Air pocket seems to have expanded despite pain subsiding. Seems that there's a leak in my lung, and needs more time to mend. Evening X-ray showed no improvement, too.
Thursday: Not much improvement in condition. They even attached a pump to help out in further drainage. I did get visits from several friends, though.
Today: Some improvement shown. X-ray suggests that air pocket is still there, I can only hope that it's smaller than before.
Looks kinda bleak, huh...
Furthermore, the tube prevents me from raising my right arm. I can't write, I can't draw. Left arm's doing all the typing.
I want to go back. I want to use both arms again.
Chin up, stay hopeful. You'll get better soon enough.
I will recover. I will recover. I will recover...
I'll get my right arm back. I'll get my right arm back. I'll get my right arm back...

Logs from Sweden Ah, how long have I gone without blogging?To be exact, about 2 and a half weeks.
Damn, that's too long.
So, anyway, I've gotten back about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and while I was there I noted down the entries during the days, so...
---
Day 1
14 - 15 Aug 2009
Whoa, that flight was long. Took a whole 12 hours of transit, and we've still got another 2 hour flight to Stockholm. Time here says it's 6.30 am, but my body thinks 12.30 pm. Gotta tune to the time zone difference.
Ah, there's a beautiful sunrise outside. Guess this really IS summer.
---
Well, we made it to Stockholm, and it appears the group members are scattered across different rooms in the hostel, in order to facilitate socialization amongst people from different countries. Here, in room 231, is Lahiru from Sri Lanka, Alonso from Chile, and Simon from Germany.
And Alonso doesn't speak fluent English. There's going to be some problems speaking with him. Took us several minutes and a drawing or two to actually understand what he was trying to say. It's the first time I see someone about my age have a business card, though. Heh.
They said the hostel's also got Internet service at the reception area, albiet at 1 kronor per minute. That's about S$12~S$14 per hour, and looks pretty expensive. Maybe I'll give that one a shot for a short while sometime.
The weather's reported to worsen later in the day, but it's still looking pretty good, even at this time. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.
Oh, yes, we also happened to have a nice view of some fireworks that shot up at around 10pm (+2 GMT). Been a while since I last saw fireworks in person.
---
Day 2
16 Aug 2009
Today's weather is looking fine, too, though it appears to have rained in the night. Doesn't change much on our schedule though.
So, today is the day when we set up our poster and present to the jury. 15 minutes total for presentation time and jury discussion, but the whole judging session's going to take up the afternoon.
Anyway, the judging session worked pretty fine. The judges looked pretty impressed with our project, and I feel that we could win this thanks to the novel ideas that this project involves. Well, there's still tomorrow's judging session, so time will tell.
I took a look around the other groups. Interesting ones include an auto-tap-shutoff mechanism from South Africa, an alternative to activated charcoal by Sri Lanka, a roof-garden cooling setup by Japan, and an adaptable flood dam by the Netherlands. These are some very interesting projects around.
Late after dinner was the International Cultural Cabaret, held back in the hostel. Wasn't of as great a magnitude as we thought. Some groups donned their cultural dress and did their cultural dance, others made do with distributing unique food items, and a few went with music pieces. Our group sang Singapore Town and Where I Belong, and compared to some impromptu acts from a few countries I could say we did a pretty good job.
The wind's getting damn strong. Really good for kites, but very bad for unsecured papers. It gets a little chilly, but not so much that I have to put on a second layer. Hah.
---
Day 3
17 Aug 2009
The Swedish really love their water, don't they? They've got plain carbonated water. Drinking it is like drinking a fizzy drink with your taste buds disabled. Well, at least the flavoured ones aren't so bad.
Opening ceremony for the World Water Week's today. Opening speeches were done, along with a presentation by the winner of the Stockholm Water Prize winner. Apparently he's designed a toilet system where the waste ends up being recycled as compost. Ah, and apparently during the talk a few of us ended up dozing off. A few pictures were taken, and hilarity ensued.
So, today's the second day of the judging. Unlike the first day, it was much slower as everyone's probably already gotten a look at everyone else's poster, so yeah. It ended considerably ahead of schedule too. Oh, and since there's free Internet there, I went in to get a few updates on things.
Ah, it rained, too. It came so suddenly and dissipated just as sudden I could conclude that it was cold frontal rain. Interesting.
Afterwards, a tour around the old Stockholm town. Plenty of nice sights, and interesting camera opportunities. Not to mention that since Sweden's consisting of several small interlinked islands there were some very nice boats.
So, the judging days are done, and the winner of the SJWP will be announced tomorrow. Damn important day, wish us luck then.
---
Day 4
18 Aug 2009
Today's the day where the prizes are given out. Nothing much for this except rehearsal for the ceremony. All breaths are being held for the moment.
---
And now with the winners announced, it appears that Turkey won the SJWP this year. The other Certificates of Excellence went to Israel and Canada. Funny thing is, all teams are solo girls. Yep, we were outmatched by solo girls.
But what the heck, making it here is already a good enough achievement.
And afterwards, dinner in the Parkside restaurant. We mixed with a bit of the judges of the competition and chatted for a while. And after a while the music kicked up and we began dancing to it. Once again the hosts (Jimi in particular) got up to their eccentricities.
Now with the serious part of the trip done, it's taking it easy for the other two days... almost. Gotta remember who to get souvenirs for, too.
Ah, yes, I also tried out the internet. It's only fixed to a couple terminals, and is paid by the minute like arcade consoles. Unfortunately it has some trouble loading overseas sites, and there's little I can do on public Internet. Oh well. At least I won't overspend.
---
Day 5
19 Aug 2009
First part of the day went to a boat excursion. We basically took a little trip about a small portion of the Baltic sea, and midway we stopped to pick up a sample from the bottom of the floor. We ended up scooping up quite a lot of mud, some rocks, broken shells, and one live shellfish... but that's about it. Whilst travelling the wind picked up considerably, forcing me to use the jacket for the first time this week.
The second part of the day was pretty much free and easy in Stockholm. Shopped for souvenirs, and took a little walk about the city. Apparently we were also pretty close to the Stockholm Parliament. Nice.
After that, we went bowling. It's definitely VERY different from the Wii game, and my shots were rather inconsistent, often guttering just before the ball reached the pins. Probably scored around 30 points. I suck... orz
---
Day 6
20 Aug 2009
Last day with events here. We went to visit Skansen, an open-air zoo. Aside from just being a zoo, there were other things like what appears to be a village here... or at least what used to be a village.
Pretty big place, I've only wandered around and seen about half of it, but those are where all the animal exhibits are. Took plenty of photos, and found myself erasing past unneeded ones to clear for space.
After lunch, we prepared for the Stockholm Water Prize Ceremony and Royal Banquet. Problems ensued when my school blazer did not quite fit the requirement for "dark suit", but fortunately I could borrow a suit about my size from my national organizer.
The Ceremony's held at the City Hall, and it's a pretty grand place. Forgot to bring a camera, though I probably wouldn't need it. Photography of the Royal Family is prohibited, they say.
Nothing much to the banquet, particularly because we were all seated on the balcony and didn't get much of a view of the goings-on inside the hall. I mostly conversed with those on my table about daily life and school in our countries. The food was rather unique too, with the chicken and artichoke puree packed together in a single cylindrical shape. o.o
And afterwards we picked up our posters, had a little photo slideshow from the previous few days, exchanged souvenirs and had our last bit of small talk before our departures tomorrow. I'd better start packing, too.
---
Day 7
21 Aug 2009
Packing, done. Time killing, done. Departure, awaiting. Souvenirs, given out, with the exception of some souvenirs brought in from school. Batteries, charged... maybe I'll find a power source for my handphone later. Keys returned, room settled. That's about everything before I leave the hostel. Perhaps a few things left to do would be to snap a few pictures of the area before I leave for good.
Ho boy, looks like our "Singapore Town" managed to stick with some people. Well, the song was made to be catchy, so yeah...
So long, Sweden, and thanks for all the potatoes.
---
Well, that's quite about it on the events in Sweden. Apparently the souvenirs I got cost about 700 kronor total, about S$140. Mother's made a bit of a fuss on the prices, but hey, it's Europe. Prices like that are to be expected.

Flying off. Hey, Kai-san. Seems you've been busy as of late.Yeah, I'm flying off to Stockholm this Friday night for the Stockholm Junior Water Prize.
Is that so? Been busy packing and tying up loose ends, I assume?
Yeah. Well, most loose ends. There are some things I can't quite accomplish.
Well, I wish you the best of luck with your trip and competition.
What do you mean? You're coming with me.
Wait, what?
Yes, Daisuke, you're coming with me. Effective wireless is not guaranteed where we are staying during that one week, so I can't blog in between.
Hm. Well, no point tending to the blog then if it's going to be like this.
There's plenty of stuff lined up in the schedule for the week. Looks like it's going to be a bit hectic, particularly with the tests coming up right after I get back.
So, yeah. Wish my team and me luck.

CosFest 8 Recently went to CosFest, though only for the second day only. There's a good number of differences here since last year.1. Fewer things to do. Last year there was things like a large showcase of several different costumes. That's sorta shrunk down this year though.
2. More people, more fun. Last year I showed up with only Bowie, Wei Rong, and a few others. This time it's almost the entire (regularly present) Comic Wing group, along with a few other people who showed up unexpectedly.
3. A slightly different ending note. There was no Nico Nico Douga singing at the end, but in its place there was some guy cosplaying as Armstrong and singing YMCA, only with it twisted to Y-A-O-I instead. Damn funny.
*ahem* Uho! Ii otoko!
For most of the time, I was walking around in the old Cardboard Gundam cosplay, salvaged and repaired from AFA 08. MANY lulz ensued, especially when I went up and posed with the other Gundam cosplayer there.
Other funny posings included the Gundam and I pointing weapons at each other, my pointing my rifle at someone cosplaying a character with a different weapon (can't remember any, except for "he's got a rifle, you lose." LOL), and posing the Cardboard Gundam with Solid Snake's Cardboard Box.
Cardboard with cardboard...
Spotted a fair amount of Touhou cosplay. Yukari, Flandre, Alice, Iku, Wriggle and Advent Cirno. Looking back now, that Reimu cosplay from last year was much better compared to these...
Weirong drew the HCI clock tower on the top corner of the graffiti wall. Too bad it got swapped out the next time we went back to see. In its place was now Miko-Miko Suika stamped on the corner en masse.
Spent $20 on a little bag with 3 Touhou doujins. Ah well, everything else was a bit too pricey or would draw unneeded attention.
From other people?
That, and my family.
Mass Caramelldansen at the end, once again. Now that I had a cosplay costume to equip, I went in and joined them. XD
So, that's one more for that list of things you wish to accomplish?
Yup.

Victory! I... I don't believe it.My team and I went to participate in the Singapore Junior Water Prize. We made it to the finals.
The finals were today. We had practiced the presentation hard for this.
...We did it. We won first prize.
And now in August we will be heading off to Stockholm, Sweden to represent Singapore in the International Junior Water Prize.
I'm impressed.
This is amazing. We didn't score well for 2008 Projects Day. We didn't win a thing for SSEF. And now, when we least expected it, we represent Singapore.
Words... cannot fully convey my feelings for this.
And this year, I'm finally getting to travel to an European country. It'll be cold, yes, but a new experience.
Best of luck for Stockholm.

Greenworks Yeah, just had faculty event. Somewhat fun, actually.Our barbecue pit took quite a while to get fully started. Bowie came up with another practical use of his paper-and-rulers fan by using it to fan the flames.
Class's selected Fac Prince and Princess nominees are Mark and Laiweng respectively. We were trying for Mark and Chai Bin, but oh well. Too bad they got eliminated from the first round of games.
Mmm, roasted marshmallows. I thought I'd never be able to taste the white gooey sweetness for some time.
Quite a bit of stuff going around with phototaking. I somehow managed to walk into a few pictures before realizing it, and after which I deliberately invoke the "ghost-insertion". Somehow people don't notice me until I have entered the picture itself.
Chai Bin took Abner's camera and spun around with it, snapping several shots. The resultant effects looked awesome to warrant an animated GIF or something.
Ah, yes, Jodie's birthday today. We got 2 cakes. One was eaten, the other... well, we've left it to Andai to store it for the moment. There was also a large birthday card directed to all those born in April. I ended up keeping it as a bit of compensation for whatever that was lacking that day.
Oh, and Fac Dance. Good to know that I still remember almost all the moves.

Easing into Adventure So, I've moved here from Windows Live Spaces. Hope I can properly work this thing out. So many things to learn and all.Anyway, a brief explanation on things that will occur in the posts to follow.
Several posts will be normal blog entries, whereas at times it will follow some sort of "conversation" discussing a topic or whatnot. And introducing the other person who will be "conversing" with me...
Greetings, I am Daisuke, Kai's personal non-existant assistant and discussion partner. All of my points, views and words will be written in italics.
So, as you can see, this blog's not going to be normal in most ways.
And so, on we go into a new environment. Let the weirdness commence.
