Go Away!!

'How does smallpox differ from chickenpox?'

The above was one of the questions my lecturer would want us to know how to answer. Being so hardworking, I used my best friend, google.com once again to find out. And this was what I found...

This is how bad smallpox infection can get! It concentrates very much on the face, hands and legs! Smallpox is fatal! Apparently, smallpox is dead since 1978! Phew... Just hope that there will be no re-emerging of this disease!

I really got a shiver when I saw the pictures!

GO AWAY SMALLPOX!

Hepatitis

Exam is just a week away! I am not going to whine about it because Bean forbidden me to! How cruel is he???!! No lar... he promised he is going to give me a reward if I don't whine for the next three weeks! So... I am not going to!

Anyway... Pharmaceutical Microbiology is giving me a real hard time! I need to memorize all the scientific names of different viruses and bacterias! When I mean name-S... I literally mean plural! Not just one of two scientific names... but from the first page of the lecture notes till the very last page! Geez man... Can't they give some simpler names?

I was telling Bean the other day about the stuff I studied.

Me: Hepatitis A is caused by Picornarviridae virus
Bean: Huh??? Pi-co... WHAT?
Me: Picornarviridae
Bean: Okay... Picornarviridae
Me: Hepatitis B is caused by Hepadnaviridae.
Bean: Hmm.. okay...
Me: And Hepatitis C is caused by Flaviviridae.
Bean: Fla-vi-vi-ri-dae
Me: Yup! Hehe... I don't think you will remember this tomorrow!

I know... Poor fella have to endure this... Haha... Too bad... his girlfriend is in healthcare line!

The very next day Bean suddenly brought up the topic,

Bean: Baby...
Me: Yar?
Bean: Picornaviridae!
Me: (I myself totally forgot that I told him... )OMG! You remembered!!
Bean: Hepadnaviridae and Flaviviridae!

At that point I was seriously very very very impressed!

Bean has his way to melt my heart....

Miss Marple's Teahouse

"Miss Jane Marple is an elderly spinster who lives in the little English village of St. Mary Mead. She looks like an ordinary old lady, dressed neatly in tweed and is frequently seen knitting or pulling weeds in her garden. Miss Marple sometimes comes across as confused or "fluffy", but when it comes to solving mysteries, she has a sharp logical mind. In the detective story tradition, she often embarrasses the local "professional" police by solving mysteries that have them stumped."

When I wikipedia Miss Marple, the above was what I read. Miss Marple is none other than a fictional character! Steewwpeet Miss Marple's Tea Room house put up so many pictures of her made me believe she is some real character in life!

During our journey back to Melbourne City from the tulip farm, we stopped by at the tea room for a short lunch break. I was awestruck before I even went into the teahouse!


So darn cute yeah the little cottage house/tea room? The interior itself is so cosy as though you have just entered a western home. Every piece of deco looks so antique. Every stretch of the walls are filled with pictures. Teapots are displayed all around the corner of the teahouse. The table is covered with flowery cloth. So sweet! Even the waitresses are dressed differently!


The clock barely even strucked twelve, the tea room was already packed with people! We were lucky to get a table right infront of us. Without wasting anytime, we read the menu as though we were studying hard for an exam. Just ordered only two dishes but enough to stuff us till death!



Miss Marple's Famous Fingers

Not her fingers lar okay... They are pieces of bread with toppings. We ordered the Fresh Chicken, Cheese and Asparagus Fingers. Not too fantastic in my opinion. I felt like it is something you can do it yourself at home. Just put the toppings on the bread and 'ting' in the toaster! I don't remember the price but I know is not cheap!



Devonshire Scones

There are two choices for the scones: plain scones or fruit scones. Being so greedy, we chose both! The scones come with delicious home made jam and lashing freshly whipped cream. Yummy yummy! Both the jam and whipped cream tasted sooooo good! The scones were still warmed when it served. The scones were as soft as fluffy pillows! Those scones were so darn filling I tell you! We could not finish it and ended up giving to my other friend who happened to be eating lunch there as well! Maybe cause the whole thing is carbo!



Teapot of Taylors

A traditional brewed 'Yorkshire Blend' cup of tea that claims to be the best cup of tea in England by the British Tea Council. Nahhhh... I reckon Lipton Tea Bag gives a better aroma! =P



Generally this place is worth for a visit. For a new fresh environment and just enjoy the coziness...

In the event of enjoying our cup of tea, my friends were trying hard to act as though they were very 'English'!

Which Spice has best breasts?

Published: 12 Oct 2007

MEL C is snacking her way to bigger breasts.

Liverpudlian Mel - the most flat-chested member of The Spice Girls - has started eating specialist Japanese F-Cup cookies in preparaton for the group's reunion tour.

The biscuits, with a calorific value of 68.7 each, contain trans-fats which are sent directly to the breast area, as well as 50mg of "breast-enhancing herb" Pueraria Mirifica.

Manufacturers claim women can expect to see their breasts increase by at least a cup-size if they eat two cookies a day.

Mel told Radio 1: "I'll be a guinea-pig for them, can you imagine if my boobs got bigger suddenly?

"That'd be so great!"

****

At least a cup size?? Wahlaueh...

Excuse me while I go munch on the cookies!

Misintepretation

When I was tranferring the groceries from the trolley to the conveyer belt, this magazine caught my eyes. Picked it up and read...



Me: Oh... Miracle underwear!
My housemate: Why your butt very ugly is it?
Me: It is talking about swimming attires lar!
