中国‧珍珠奶茶可致不育
（中国‧北京）不少人爱喝的珍珠奶茶，会可能导致不育！
中国专家称，现时街头出售的珍珠奶茶大多数既不含奶，也不含茶，而是奶精掺茶粉及香精、色素等其他替代品而成；其中，奶精的主要成份氢化植物油，是一种反式脂肪酸，会降低男性荷尔蒙的分泌，抑制精子活力，增加不育或胎儿畸形的风险，准备开枝散叶的男性还是少喝为妙。
此外，大量吸入反式脂肪酸，也会增加心血管疾病、肿瘤的发病率。

China. Bubble Milk Tea May Lead to Infertility
According to experts in China, the bubble milk tea sold on streets mostly do not consist of neither of milk nor tea. Normally the bubble tea consists of milk extracts, tea extract, colourings and other additives. The milk extract is mainly the hydrogenised vegetable oil, a trans-fat, which would reduce the main hormone production and reduce the sperm activity, thus lead to infertility or even birth defects.
Similarly, consumption of high quantity of trans-fat would also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and the incidence of tumour.

Year 4
Officially I stepped into Year 4 of my medical course, and clearly with all those advices and warnings from the seniors, this is the "BEST" year... with the BIG exam (4yrs worth of studies) and also with all big specialties rotations, I'll have lots of hardtime and All the best to everyone, cruise through this hurdle, we'll be a doctor in another year time!!!
Currently, I'm living in a big nice house with Ravind, Jian and YY. This house is really pretty and amazingly worth the rent. Yeah, moved out from Dandenong, and nearer to uni, means a little less I'll travel this year to all my hospital rotations in all the corners of Melbourne East and South eastern metropolitan hospitals. I hope I'll have a great year ahead too. Currently, I am doing Paediatric rotation in MMC, Clayton, where is just 5min drive from house, very convenient. Yet,after that, I'll be 30min from home to Frankston hospital for the rest of my Paediatric rotation.
With all the rotations, around everywhere,and diff ppl doing diff rotations, the MISU group of frens are hard to meet up, or I should say sth like I am outcast? I know I was staying quite far last yr, and nw I'm not staying too far from uni.Lifelong friends , I'll see u guys more then :)

Christmas Summer Holiday
Happy New Year 2010 everyone!
Here is the new year fireworks in Melbourne, I didn't take any photos as it's raining. Image credit of http://www.heraldsun.com.au
Year 2009 is over, and now it's time to reflect back my interesting and lovely year of 2009. Summer in Melbourne is so interesting, with the drastic change of temperature. For example, on New Year Eve, day time temperature was as hot as 38 C and drop to around 20s for the next day. And Boxing day shopping, was really mad, everything was on SALE and you would take up to 3 hours to purchase something due to the super long queue and crowd.
Officially I passed 3rd year of my medical studies in MONASH University and I'll be a 4th year medical student this year. And it's going to be a tough year ahead, with 4 major specialty rotations scattered around Melbourne metropolitan. Good luck everyone, especially when I saw the textbooks. For the past year, I was in Dandenong Hospital for my lovely Medicine and Surgery year. The experiences in this hospital were so good, for 3rd year students, with the rotations of Orthopedics, General Surg, Colorectal Surg and ICU. These rotations gave me adequate exposure for my further career and the patients were so kind and helpful! Furthermore, in Dandenong hospital, I met a great group of friends in my PBL and also the whole cohort of colleagues in Dandy! LifeLong friends!!
Now about my hobbies= travelling and photographing. With my family, we travelled to Bangkok, Thailand before Chinese New Year 2009 and also around Melbourne& Sydney in end of 2009. Lovely family time. I made my way to New Zealand (south island). With the big plan organised by NH and I, the 10days south island adventure went magnificently well. We really enjoyed the scenery and the joy of travelling. New Zealand, another country is now added in my list. Travelling around Australia is also one of my dreams. Up to date, I visited Western Australia (Perth), NSW (Sydney, Wentworth), Queensland (Brisbane & Cold Coast) and covered major parts of Victoria. My plan is to visit NT, SA & TAsmania soon. :) And with the newly purchased Nikon D90 DSLR camera, now I can further expand my interest in photographing. Furthermore, I can capture prettier photos for my travel diary and blog The Snacks of Life- My travel pictures blog.
Here is the first photo by my new Nikon D90 online.
All the best everyone, and good luck for the year ahead :)
