Here's what I learnt at the Infertility Clinic 1)Take your temperature everyday when you wake up. As in open your eyes, dun get up. Straight away grab a thermometer and take your temperature. Try to do that at the same time everyday.
2)Plot a graph showing your temperature. When the temperature dips and shoots up, thats your ovulation period. Should preferably be 14 days after your menstruation. Anything less than 12 days means your eggs are probably immature. Anything after, and the egg becomes impermeable to sperms.
Not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Don't blame me if accidents happen!

Of tissue papers and winter
I like how you are so helpful and trustworthy. You can be counted upon to do whatever you are asked to do. But you must take care of yourself too ok? I would hate to see you being exploited And used and thrown away like a tissue paper. (Remember this analogy? haha!!)
Hang in there! Winter is coming!

Tough times...
Finally! A bit of encouragement. I actually got the TCM case study spot on! Except for a bit of overanalyzing... I got the concept right and the used the correct formula!
One more week to the exam... I'm really quite worn out... I need my weekends! ARGHH! When can i have two days of peace?! Now I need to study for the TCM Term Exam After that, I have 5 days to study for Pharmacology Midterms Then after that, I have to study for Physiology Midterms. And in the middle of that, I have to read up 10 journal articles on TCM herbs And write up a report summarizing the cancer-fighting properties of a chosen herb. Not forgetting starting a new module. And on top of that, I have another midterm for this new module to look forward to. Oh wait! After that midterm, I probably have next to no time left Cos the Term Exams for the rest of the modules are next.
Supposedly it will be like this and worse in Beijing. Although I am looking forward to studying in another country, I don't think I can cope well... To drop or not to drop... Sigh.
But then again, Listening to you and your troubles I've been inspired. Even though you are going through such a tough time You're not giving up. And neither will I! Let's persevere and get through these ridiculous courses together! GO GO GO! Don't ever think lowly of yourself!

Looking through space and time
I'm closing my eyes and looking through them As if I could peer through space and time. I see a girl All alone in the room. Lying on a bed. Hugging a bolster. Upset. Frowning. A teardrop. Escaping the watery eyes Making its journey down her cheek. The phone rings. She pick it up. A familiar voice. She reins in her emotions. And put on a strong front again.
But I hope the voice Made her realize. She is not alone.
Today, I realized... After January next year, I won't see you again for 2 years. Now I think my 2 weeks are awfully short.

Missing Miss
Oh...the little things that remind me of you. Apples. How your mom gives you the smaller ones while she gets the bigger apples Can A. And the Tom Yam Ban Mian. Library 2. And the blue sofas. The MRT. How I refuse to get off at Clementi. Buses side by side. Wave frantically and shout! The back seat of the double decker bus. Where we fool around on the way home.
First time in my life I'm missing someone...

Of hospitals and MRTs
I hate Simei. Everytime I go there, I remember. That poor girl Lying there...dying. Even though it was a long time ago,
Then I get on the MRT. And good memories of you override the bad ones. I remember how we chat and while the time away. When I send you home...
Joke around in the near empty bus... Walk you home from the MRT... You walk me to the bus stop. I sms you once you leave my sight.
Rawr...

Is there a telescope Good enough So I can see you from here?
Is there a Megaphone Loud enough So you can hear my words?
Oh wait. There's the internet. Oh iiNet! Why can't you be more efficient? Damnit.

Interrogation
The three of them closed down on me. Then, they told me to follow them. I was led into a dark dark room. Surrounding me, they began interrogating me...
Argh The secret's out.

I want to complain
Darn... As the sem progresses on I find myself getting lost along the way.
For a long time I take pride in my quick understanding of the complicated concepts in biology Not that I am being narcissistic and praising myself But I do work hard to be that way I try to read widely Absorbing pieces of information that interest me Hoping that some day Someone will enlighten me on how these puzzle pieces are put together.
Then I stumble onto the world of Chinese Medicine Where explanations do not follow reason at times. Where almost everything requires Memorization. And little else.
And so For an individual brought up on learning Through understanding, then questioning the validity Accepting concepts which are proven by mere lines of ancient wisdom Is a tough reality I am finding hard to accept.
Most irritating thing is For the same concept There are 1 million and 1 different ways to express it. 补气 is the same as 益气. Then why the hell do they not just use 补气 all the way!?!! Why must they always confuse me!?!!
Complain complain complain...

A simple call
I should be thankful That I am in the 21st century. Where long-distance communication Is as simple as pressing a few buttons
I can't imagine Having to write letters And waiting for months to get a reply Or writing telegrams AND SAYING I MISS YOU STOP
Thanks for calling me so often. Sometimes, just hearing your voice makes my day better

Same old brand new
This was where we used to study. The blue cushions. The long table. Your laptop on the table. Your shoes on the floor. Your rainbow coloured toe socks adding life To the otherwise lifeless surroundings.
Your strikingly green jacket Your look when you are concentrating You look up into my eyes And smile
Alas With a shake of the head The illusion fades So far, yet so near, still so far
