A year to fulfil dreams

最近的心情一直起飞,跟着梦想的脚步翱翔
A year to fulfil dreams - 2008会是最美的一年

气势高昂地筹备辞职、去金马伦+椰壳洞、去念书、小米和妮妮的世纪背包旅行还有很多很多。
心里载了很多人,也多了特别的人。

怎么想都很难相信
2008年将会实现我大大的梦想,小小的心负荷得了吗?

1. 继续到国外升学,还是念我想念的科系
2. 第一次真正的背包旅行,还是跟姐姐一起横跨3国,还包括在泰北做义工
3. *秘密*

too good to be real? hehe =P

越南-云南-泰北

6月尾有一个是去泰北的志工活动,就是要带东西去给偏远部落的公益活动
不过一切花费要自己负责

我们没办法直接从马来西亚带东西过去给那边的居民,比如铅笔毛巾一些日常用品之类的
那是帮助别人的活动 我很有兴趣

旅游又可以帮助别人,何乐而不为呢?

要就从我们这里带去,一些旧衣服之类的,我们家里很多
我一直想要拿去孤儿院的
但是一直没安排

如果要玩得比较完整的话,辽国要去也是可以啦,只是会比较勉强
天呀,不晓得为何,我还是很想念尼泊尔,呵呵

要完整的对吧?还好,我也是,不喜欢玩一块块的

我一直跟你XX说是实现你的愿望,不然他真的会生气的,我去那么久,哈

本来我还想去海南岛的,听说那边很漂亮,不过花费就太高了
不管是坐船过去还是搭飞机都很贵
那便是富人的天堂
是很美的一个大岛
因为是很著名的旅游胜地
陆路去不到的

那我们决定了?越南-云南-广西-广州

我会顺便找一些需要帮助的地方,可能我们去比较偏远的地区,做一些善事

丫丫丫,终于可以去越南了

如果真的要去泰北做善事的话,就从广州飞去泰北
或不去广西及广州

越南南到北-云南-泰北
三个国家,不过不会一块块,还算是满完整的

恩,我给那个负责人联络了,他说没关系
我们可以先寄东西过去
或者到时候帮忙搬东西及分发东西也是可以的
然后到时候我们会跟台湾的人一起去
参加的人数不会很多,好像只是十位
如果我们要的话就要赶快报名了
4天3夜 马币大概350
包括一天的大自然之旅
食物什么都包了
我是觉得做善事,贵一点点也没关系

就是在网上留名字及资料,然后我会说我们是自己从云南曲跟他们集合
6月27-30
不过会住得很简陋,因为是在山区内
大概两个半星期在越南,一个半星期在云南

那就这样啦
越南-云南-泰北

好了,确定了,那现在要做的就是解决最重要的入境签证

广西和广州应该不能了,因为那是偏东了,云南在西

我们说好要一起去的,忘了吗?
我们要玩不一样的,而且要玩好玩的
死了,太兴奋了,不能专心念书了啦

泰北吧,看情况,或者我们从泰北坐火车回来槟城
一路从泰北玩到槟城

如果在chiang mai有便宜的机票的话
我们就直接从那边回来

满贵的,kl-hochimin,300马币左右,单程
chiangmai-penang,单程,大概马币100出一点
我看我要耐心点了,等便宜机票的促销

*****************************************

两姐妹的旅程哪里可以不精彩

你,确实在帮我实现我的背包梦想 =)

生命的精彩正在燃烧

生命的精彩正在燃烧
把熟悉的感觉通通揪出来

积极为即将来临的学生日子倒数、准备
积极给超级姐妹背包行找资料、计划
积极存钱给自己去玩乐

憋了一年 是时候放纵自己了
我要去玩 去享受我的人生

只有 对不起那银行户口
存了一年的血汗钱
就这样 挥一挥衣袖 不留一点钱

蜿蜒难行

摊开手掌心
细细小小的手纹向外延开

如果一切都是命中注定
我的人生路真的不好走
就连刚提脚起步的感情路
也似乎蜿蜒难行
原来 经营一段感情需要很大的包容和勇气

最近诸多不顺事件
原谅我的沉默寡言 我的内向 我的冷漠

突然 就很想很想家

如果一个男人真的爱你

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他的手机会为你24小时开机,
在你最需要他的时候可以随时找到他,
因为他爱你,所以会时时担心

你如果一个男人爱你,
他会很自豪的告诉他的朋友与家人你是他最爱的女人,
当然并不是时时挂在嘴上,
而是用一种行动去告诉别人,

因为有了你他觉得很骄傲,
无论你是不是真的很优秀。。。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他会把除了工作之外的很多时间都给你,

如果一个男人真的爱你,
你会发现你和他在一起后,
不经意间发现你总有很多穿不完的衣服 ,
而此时你会发现他的裤子上有个小洞洞,
他会很解嘲的说:“现在不是 流行乞丐服吗?再说男人要有内涵, 穿那么好干什么?”
呵呵,因为他总是看见漂亮的东西就买给你。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他就不在乎陪你逛街会浪费他多少出去自由的机会,
因为他甘愿失去那种所谓的自由。。

如果一 个男人真的爱你,
无论你们在一起多久,
都会陪你一起爬山,看海,看星星,看日落,
因为他知道你渴望这样的浪漫。。。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他绝对不会嚷嚷着叫你去减肥,
但是这个时候你自己一定要去健康减肥,
因为苗条的女人确实可以叫人赏心悦目。
因为你的健康是他最关心的。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他不会留恋与网络与别的小妹眉甜言蜜语,
因为对你他都有说不完的爱,

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他会在你故意说要离开的时候,
撒娇的不和你分开,
而在你真的想离开的时候,
就会放你走,
即便他真的不愿意放手。
因为他爱你,只希望 你幸福。。。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
那么你会比他的事业更重要,
他绝对不会已事业为借口推脱你 。。。

如果一个男人真的爱你,
他不会陪这所谓的客户去做所谓 的应酬,
(很多男人把找小姐说是谈生意需要)
他宁可不要这个业务,世界上又不是只有这个业务。 。。

用眼泪要答案

蒙蒙的
担心自己走不出来

不能自拔的低落
沉静下来 连自己都觉得恐怖

该如何调试自己?
我是一个会用眼泪要答案的人吗?

你的预言 开始兑现?

Sunday 16 March 2008

尝试调试自己

昨天 我哭了
面对你的冷漠
我渐渐建立起对你的恐惧感

为什么4年了,我还是无法跟你好好相处,我还是那么insensitive, less observant.

我真的快窒息了 压力得快爆炸了

Lecturer reply

Mrs Tay replied my email towards ACNM as below:

Hi Pei Nie
I think you have to be extra careful in selection of colleges or university, this looks like one that emphasis on " natural therapy " kind of college, I don't think you should source for staff like that, is better to go to a proper, conventional university like sydney, melborne un, new south wales etc, the best way is to go to australian education centre in singapore, they also do course counselling, you can find it from the web or yellow page for their address. Alternatively new zealand universities also offer nutrition courses. we will be offering the join degree soon, Dr. tay is the coordinator, you can approach him for help.

Australian College of Natural Medicine

Last Sunday, I visited Medicine and Health Sciences Education Fair. Suprisingly, I came to this institute which I never came across to - Australian College of Natural Medicine (ACNM). This institute is really fresh to me, however, looking into the courses that they provide, it interests me.

Firstly, the school fee is much more lower than other Aust Uni, about 10-11k Aussie annually, about half of other universities. The reason? I did ask.
The pretty sweet girl replied: We don't earn much from students. We own our clinics in Australia,we provide platform for students to practice. We earn from the clinic.

The most interesting part is that the college only provides Natural medicine and health courses - namely Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Nutritional Medicine, Western Herbal Medicine, Musculoskeletal Therapy, Remedial Therapies, Aromatherapy and Reflexology at certificates, diplomas and bachelor levels.

Sounds so healthy in this campus. And that's the main reason I love it so much.

In addition, they have clinics over main cities in Australia, namely Melbourne, Perth, Gold Coast and Brisbane. You can choose where you want to complete your studies. Second one and a half year will be heavily involved in Practical, where you will be doing consultation for real patients visited, and accompanied by your senior. This is so practical!

Well, I face the same problem as UK one, the recognition globally.

At the same time, I'm waiting for the exemption and offer letter from school which promise to be given in these 2 weeks.

Looking into modules and consolidate some information for myself:
(The Bachelor in Nutritional Medicine will provide the student with extensive practical and theoretical skills to become a competent holistic clinical nutritionist. The course includes studies in food as medicine, dietary analysis and planning, nutritional biochemistry, clinical nutrition, as well as Western health sciences and interpersonal skills. The nutritional medicine practitioner will be able to treat people to improve health and well being over a wide range of disorders using food as medicine, dietary counselling and modification, and nutritional supplements. )


Sem 1

Foundations of Human Biology
This unit aims to provide students with a basic understanding of the different systems of the human body in terms of components and their structure and functions, and how the systems integrate to maintain homeostasis within the body.FHUB is a foundation unit of study that articulates directly into Human Biology 1 which, in turn, articulates into Human Biology 2. Each builds and incorporates the knowledge of the previous unit so that students, on completion of all three units, have an in-depth, comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the human body and their interactions for maintenance of homeostasis.
Foundations of Chemistry
This unit introduces general, physical and organic chemistry and prepares the student for further studies in biochemistry, human biology, nutrition and human disease processes. It also introduces students to the major principles of scientific enquiry and scientific method and is a foundation unit of study for those students who do not have credit for Year 12 chemistry.
Foundations of Communication and Counselling
This foundational unit develops the communication and counselling knowledge and skills, and ethical practice required by practitioners to establish and maintain an effective therapeutic relationship with their clients. This unit is taught across all natural medicine modalities. The development of communication and counselling skills will enable students to formulate effective treatment strategies thereby ensuring that outcomes are maximised because of the practitioners� highly developed interpersonal skills.
Food As Medicine 1
By the conclusion of the unit, it is expected that students will be able to; basically analyse food and food-based chemicals for the purpose of good health; differentiate between the different roles of individual foods and food chemicals for alleviation of specific therapeutic goals and utilise specific foods and food chemicals within the dietary treatment of basic dietary cases. This unit of study complements other core curriculum units and provides essential knowledge and proficiencies within the application and completion of both naturopathic, nutrition medicine and/or herbal medicine clinics.
History & Philosophy Of Natural Medicine
This foundation unit underpins everything that is taught within the natural medicine stream of all ACNM courses. It provides a comprehensive introduction to natural medicine foundation principles and places natural medicine into its social, cultural and historical context. Selected therapies are introduced to demonstrate these principles. Completion of this unit is essential for a naturopathic understanding of every unit in the course.
Safe Practices
This unit covers general Workplace Health and Safety (WHS, Queensland), Occupational Health and Safety (OHS, Victoria) and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH, Western Australia) requirements according to State legislation on infection control, hazard identification, risk assessment and management. On completion of this unit the student - practitioner should be able to both follow an organisation�s policies and procedures in relation to risks and where necessary implement and manage procedures to minimise these risks. The unit also covers the application of first aid techniques for the practitioner to Level 2 standard (Victoria) or Senior First Aid (Queensland and Western Australia). This unit is fundamental to students entering clinical practice and essential for their ability to establish and operate their own practice.

Sem 2
Nutrition 1
Provides a foundation for the understanding of naturopathic nutrition. The biochemical role in the body of macro- and micronutrients and their importance to optimum nutrition is presented, and their therapeutic potential is discussed. The components of a healthy, balanced diet are outlined.
This is a foundation unit of study. By the conclusion of the unit, it is expected that students will be able to: understand naturopathic principles (introduced in History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine) and apply them to the study of nutrition therapy; understand the importance of optimum nutrition to maintenance and promotion of optimum health; develop a coherent argument for the application of dietary therapy and nutritional supplementation to the promotion and maintenance of health; understand the biochemical role of macro- and micronutrients in the human body; and understand and analyse the components of a healthy, balanced diet from a naturopathic perspective.
Human Biology 1
This module progresses the knowledge and proficiencies gained in Foundations of Human Biology (FHUB). It examines the functions of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary and nervous systems of the body in more detail. Through reviewing the knowledge gained in FHUB, information on the detail of physiology and anatomy is presented to the students to give them a comprehensive overview of how these systems work. This information on the normal functioning of the human body provides a basis on which the pathophysiology of these systems can be taught to give an understanding of clinical medicine and disease.
Human Disease Processes 1
This unit lays the foundation for the study of pathology and disease states in western medicine. The emphasis is on the elucidation of general pathological processes and how they affect the body as a whole. The concepts that there are common responses of the body to injury, and that it is these responses in specific locations that give rise to clinical signs and symptoms, are introduced. Information is given on common diagnostic techniques and how they may be utilised to obtain pathological knowledge about a disease. This is a foundation unit on which later units of Human Disease Processes 2-4 build. In these further units, students investigate individual disease states and their pathologies.
Biochemistry
This unit provides students with foundational proficiencies and knowledge of biochemistry in order to be able to understand the chemical workings of the human body at a cellular, tissue and systemic level. The understanding of the processes of replication, transcription and translation are necessary to be able to understand the genesis, prevention and management of genetic conditions. A major component of this unit is to be able to critically evaluate the major biochemical pathways in the body and to be able to use them in health and disease. These relate very closely to studies in optimum nutrition, as well as metabolic diseases. This unit builds on the underpinning knowledge and skills established in Foundations of Chemistry.
Food as Medicine 2
By unit�s conclusion, it is expected that students will be able to: analyse whole foods and food constituents for the purpose of health promotion and treatment; understand the effects of cooking and other food preparation methods, food growing, contemporary eating habits on optimum health and wellbeing; and understand and apply the nutritional and therapeutic properties of selected foods. The Food as Medicine 2 unit of study builds on the foundations established by Food as Medicine 1. It contributes to the nutritional knowledge and skills of naturopathic and nutritional medicine practitioners.
Introduction to Professional Practice
This unit provides students with opportunities to develop skills required for the effective management and operation of a clinical health practice. The unit explores appropriate clinic policies and procedures with case examples of effective communication with clients. Special emphasis is placed on ethics and legislative requirements of relevance to natural medicine practices. This unit provides the essential foundational knowledge and skills for managing a clinic in any natural medicine modality.

Sem 3
Human Biology 2
This unit builds on the knowledge gained in Foundations of Human Biology (FHUB) and Human Biology 1 (HUB1). It provides students with a more advanced understanding of the functions of the lymphatic and immune, haematological, endocrine, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems of the body. Through reviewing the knowledge gained in FHUB and HUB1, details of the physiology and anatomy is presented to students to give them a comprehensive overview of how these systems work and are coordinated within the body to create a functioning whole. This information on the normal functioning of the human body provides a basis on which the pathophysiology of these systems can be taught to give an understanding to clinical medicine and disease.
Human Disease Processes 2
This unit aims to utilise the basic concepts of disease processes learned in Human Disease Processes 1, and apply this learning in conjunction with anatomical and biochemical knowledge to allow students to understand and analyse the pathology of diseases of the different systems of the body. On completion of this unit, students will be able to apply the philosophies, principles and ethics of Western Medicine to the study of pathological processes, clinical features and management of diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and nervous systems.
Wellness Analysis
This unit of study explores the importance and therapeutic potential of the client/practitioner relationship. It is designed to provide students with the ability to identify the factors contributing to sound therapeutic relationships and to apply these principles in clinical practice to achieve positive therapeutic outcomes. Students should be able to establish and understand client expectations of the therapist and the consultation/treatment process, and apply mentoring/coaching principles to assist clients to achieve their established goals. Wellness Analysis continues on from the foundations of communication and basic counselling established in FCC (Foundations of Communications and Counselling) and from HPNM (History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine), where the philosophy and principles of natural medicine are established). Application of the principles and concepts established in this unit is vital to NPCS (Naturopathic Pre-Clinical Skills) and clinic practicum (NCLS 1-8, NUCLS1-8, HBCLS1-8)
Nutritional Biochemistry
By unit�s conclusion, it is expected that students will be able to: understand the role of nutrients in important biochemical pathways; differentiate between these individual biochemical pathways and determine their significance in various disease processes; and utilise a variety of different nutritional agents to enhance key biochemical mechanisms. This unit of study integrates knowledge previously gained from biochemistry and nutrition units to provide an understanding of the potential of diet and nutrition therapy for normalising and optimising the functions of important biochemical pathways in the human body. The understanding gained from the Nutritional Biochemistry unit will be applied in future units of study (eg Nutrition 3 & 4, Advanced Nutrition and Food Therapy, Naturopathic Pre-Clinical Skills) and the clinic practicum units.
Iris Analysis
This unit provides the foundation knowledge and practical skills required to conduct iris analysis as part of a naturopathic health assessment procedure. An integrated approach is taken incorporating the major iris analysis methods. Existing iris analysis publications and research data are critically assessed. This unit is a prerequisite for clinic practicum, and Advanced Iris Analysis (AIRA).
Nutrition 2
Continues to provide a foundation for the understanding of naturopathic nutrition.
Nutrition 2 expands on Nutrition 1 and explores to a greater depth and breadth the macro- and micronutrients, their biochemical roles in the human body and their therapeutic potential. By the conclusion of this unit students should be able to: apply naturopathic principles and an understanding of the macro- and micronutrients, their physiological role in the body and their therapeutic potential to the prevention and treatment of health conditions. This unit of study draws upon an understanding of biochemistry established in Biochemistry (BIO) and the basic nutrition foundations established in Nutrition 1 (NU1) to further develop students� understanding of macro- and micronutrients and diet, their biochemical mechanisms of action and their therapeutic potential within a naturopathic framework of practice. From this foundation students should be able to apply their nutritional knowledge to the treatment of various health conditions (to be covered in Nutrition 3, Nutrition 4, Advanced Nutrition and Food Therapy, and in other units of study including Clinics).

Sem 4
Clinical Examination
This unit provides the students with a theoretical and practical framework for the clinical assessment and examination of the client/patient. It lays the foundation for examination procedure and strategy and explores the use of common assessment tools that may be employed by the practitioner to aid and expand their assessment repertoire. It provides an essential adjunct knowledge base to clinical practice.
Pharmacology
This unit provides the student with a sound basic understanding of pharmacology and westerndrug treatment. It provides students with a western scientific approach to the investigation ofmedicines that will advance the knowledge of traditional medicines and also act as an introduction to potential drug interactions.
Nutrition 3
Provides the student with knowledge of the nutritional approach and application of treatment for diseased systems. It addresses expectations in clinical practice from a naturopathic perspective. Naturopathic nutritional treatment regimens for specified health conditions and individual case studies are planned.
By the conclusion of the unit, it is expected that students will: integrate the information from Nutrition 1&2, Food as Medicine 1, Nutritional Biochemistry, Biochemistry, Human Disease Processes 1&2 and History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine and apply this to the treatment of specific nutritional and pathological conditions. Students will also differentiate between the biochemical mechanisms and therapeutic actions of individual nutrients, determine their individual clinical significance for the effective management of specific nutritional and pathological conditions and utilise a wide variety of nutrients, dietary recommendations and dietary therapies towards nutritional treatment of specified conditions and case studies.This unit of study complements other core syllabus units and provides essential knowledge and proficiencies for application to client health management in naturopathic and nutritional medicine clinics. Once all nutrition study units and clinic practicum are completed successfully, graduands will have gained extensive knowledge within naturopathic nutrition thus allowing for professional practice following registration with a relevant professional body.
Human Disease Processes 3
By the conclusion of the unit, it is expected that students will: integrate the information from Nutrition 1&2, Food as Medicine 1, Nutritional Biochemistry, Biochemistry, Human Disease Processes 1&2 and History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine and apply this to the treatment of specific nutritional and pathological conditions.

Once all nutrition study units and clinic practicum are completed successfully, graduands will have gained extensive knowledge within naturopathic nutrition thus allowing for professional practice following registration with a relevant professional body.
Nutritional Clinical Studies 1
This unit consolidates the knowledge and skills from all units previously completed in the course, as well as the co-requisite units. By exercising the application of these skills and knowledge in a class environment, the student is readied for clinic practicum (NCLS3, NCLS4, or HCLS3, HCLS4, or NUCLS3, NUCLS4). The process of taking the case, determining a naturopathic analysis, therapeutic strategy and prescriptive advice is presented and practised, as are procedures required for effective clinical practice.
Nutritional Clinical Studies 2
This unit provides the opportunity for students to observe senior student practitioners and/or experienced practitioners in the workplace. Students gain experience in the application of clinic management procedures and client management. Documentation and research of client cases is introduced at a basic level. NCLS2 students experience the benefit of collaborative teamwork with peers and mentors to natural medicine health assessment and therapeutic strategy development.

Sem 5
Human Disease Processes 4
This unit expands on the foundations laid down in Human Disease Processes 1, 2 & 3 (HDP1, 2 & 3) for the study of generic disease states and pathological processes of the body by Western Medicine. The unit provides a comprehensive overview of disease states from their pathophysiological manifestations, clinical features and significance, to testing and treatment. The emphasis is on the disease states of the endocrine and reproductive systems including stress and depression, and the musculoskeletal system. Knowledge gained in previous Human Disease Processes subjects is directly referred to in HDP4 as the multi-system nature of disease in the human is consolidated.
Nutrition 4
Provides the student with knowledge of the nutritional approach and application of treatment for diseased systems. It addresses expectations in clinical practice from a naturopathic perspective. Naturopathic nutritional treatment regimens for specified health conditions and individual case studies are planned.
By the conclusion of the unit, it is expected that students will: integrate the information from Nutrition 1,2,3, Food as Medicine 1, Nutritional Biochemistry, Biochemistry, Human Disease Processes 1,2,3 and History and Philosophy of Natural Medicine and apply this to the treatment of specific nutritional and pathological conditions. It will also be expected that students will differentiate between the biochemical mechanisms and therapeutic actions of individual nutrients, determine their individual clinical significance for the effective management of specific nutritional and pathological conditions; and utilise a wide variety of nutrients, dietary recommendations and dietary therapies towards nutritional treatment of specified conditions and case studies.This unit of study complements other core syllabus units and provides essential knowledge and proficiencies for application to client health management in naturopathic and nutritional medicine clinics. Once all nutrition study units and clinic practicum are completed successfully, graduands will have gained extensive knowledge within naturopathic nutrition thus allowing for professional practice following registration with a relevant professional body.
Integrated Pharmacology
This unit explores the potential of interaction between pharmaceutical drugs and complementary medicines or foods. Reporting of adverse reactions to drugs (pharmaceutical and complementary medicines) and interactions is outlined. Integrated pharmacology draws on knowledge gained from BIO (Biochemistry), PHAR (Pharmacology) and the Human Disease Processes units of study and applies it to knowledge gained from the herbal medicine (HBP, HB1-4) and nutrition (FOM1, NU1-4, NUBIO) units of study.
Critical Research Skills
This unit is designed so that students will become critical readers of literature in relation to theirspecific modalities. In this unit students learn about different forms of knowledge and literature,and techniques for critically reading and evaluating the information gained. This presumes anunderstanding of a variety of different research methodologies including basic statistical techniques and the importance of ethics within research. The unit encourages students to maintain an awareness of the current state of research in natural medicine, evaluate the merits of research (including scientific research) and its contribution to practice, and incorporate research and learned theoretical concepts into other units of study and into their clinical practice, post-graduation. Furthermore the unit develops basic skills involved in writing up an application for funding to conduct a research project
Nutritional Clinical Studies 3
By unit�s conclusion, it is expected that students will be able to: take and analyse a case history; develop a naturopathic health assessment based on naturopathic and Western biomedical principles, short and long-term therapeutic goals and a holistic naturopathic treatment incorporating nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, massage and flower essences; and rationalise and implement specific naturopathic treatments for each individual case. This unit of study builds on previous core syllabus units and provides students with the opportunity to implement their knowledge and skills within a supervised clinical environment. Once all Clinics are completed successfully, each graduand will have gained extensive knowledge within the clinical application of naturopathic medicine thus allowing their professional practice following registration with a relevant professional body.

Sem 6
Interpersonal Skills Of The Helper
This unit introduces and develops the foundational communication skills required to establish and maintain an effective helping relationship with a client. The curriculum covers Gerard Egan�s problem-management and opportunity-development approach to helping.
Advanced Nutrition Food Therapy
Advanced Nutrition and Food Therapy is the capstone unit of the nutrition stream of the course. By unit�s conclusion, it is expected that students will: integrate the knowledge and skills from Nutrition 1, 2, 3 & 4, Food as Medicine 1 and Nutritional Biochemistry towards the specialist treatment of key nutritional and pathological conditions; differentiate between nutrient and dietary therapy possibilities given the current available peer-reviewed research; and utilise a variety of nutrients, dietary recommendations and dietary therapies towards the generation of a specialist dietary intake designed specifically for the given individual. This unit of study draws from and complements other core syllabus units and provides essential knowledge and proficiencies for the application and completion of both naturopathic and nutrition medicine clinics.

2. 3月头的其中一天,Aai Hua aunty 把猪肠粉和萝卜糕推给我当早餐,也帮我买了椰浆饭当午餐 >.< 也不能推掉她对我的爱心
3. 有两晚,小舅母也留了汤菜饭给我,那不得不吃的宵夜 T_T
4. 有一天的晚餐是小舅母亲手做的糯米鸡。
5. 茶喝少了,因为间接导致睡眠品质问题。


惨了。。。
越来越壮般,我不要当猛女啦! sob




自己从小到大总是胖胖般,只有那段中学打排球的时候身材最满意。
回头想想,其实我一直胖着有很大部分是因为爱心导致,长辈喜欢孩子白白胖胖,现在工厂的aunty也总是爱买东西给我吃。

最后,我还是接受他们的爱,自己却承受那赘肉 T_T

我要瘦啦 T_T

马币换英镑

今天

SGD1 - RM2.2805

SGD1 - 2.7649 pounds

1 pound - RM 6.3053

会从马币convert bankdraft然后用马币bankdraft 在新山 还是 新加坡的 money changer 换成英镑 (crab说 money charger 收bank draft的,对吗?)

不打算直接在银行用马币换英镑是因为 银行的兑换率都比较低吧? 虽然比较方便
如果你们有经过money charger 帮忙看看马币换英镑的兑换率 谢谢 呵呵

我们需要谈谈

昨夜彻夜难眠
是胡思乱想吗
还是真的需要认真想一想?

我们需要谈谈吧
我真的不想这样
真的 真的 有点痛苦

Dedicated to you!


1,2,3 ... months ago was my last meet with net, jean and val? I lost count too. I missed net's 23rd birthday celebration and I remembered she expressed her unhappiness and unsatisfaction through our smses. I did apologise with reasons.

I admitted that I haven't been visiting her blog to keep track of her life recently. I don't practice SP CORE values, esp. Care and Concern. (How come SPCORE values embeded in my mind so well? But what are others stand for?haha!)

This morning, as my usual move, my mouse will direct me to my blog page. I saw net's reply and a sudden warmness arose. That is the power of friendship, although there are only couples of lines of ABCs. I feel touched, warm and supported. Somehow, I wordless to describe the friendship.

Visited her blog with a sense of guilt. Her latest entry is the one she expects my visit. It works as the way you want it to be, net! Yes, it is a motivated one and please bear with me. I need more Personal Space. She is truly well-understood as she has gone through the similar struggling situation too. I'm overjoy to have such a wonderful close friend!

Things have not been really worked up. My studies, my family and someone else. Work has not been too smooth as early as it started. I'm not going to elaborate it more. But my med-tech and civil engineer juniors get a higher salary than me, who has been working in the same chinese-traditional company for almost a year! Imbalance lah!!

I'm going to get it decided, very soon. Just received Northumbria University offer letter. Gotta decide it by next Wed or earlier. If yes to it, I will have to pay it! And worries are cut half!


I miss you! **hugs**

筑梦,藏着一份惆怅,双份悲伤,多份不舍。

一个想珍惜的人
一群想解忧的人
还有一班想特别感谢的好恋
******************************************************
筑梦,藏着一份惆怅,双份悲伤,多份不舍。
愿梦,美。
******************************************************
忧郁因子又活跃了。
请滚远远的。
我还有几个月才离开。
我还有几个月逍遥的日子。
我还有几个月跟你和你们相处的日子。

睡眠品质恶劣

躺了逾半小时,还是眼睁睁的,突然脑子一灵光,去泡杯温温的Anlene牛奶来喝,最后才勉强入睡。
今早,仍然是手机闹闹前一个小时左右又自动醒过来,这种案件真的很少发生。

为什么最近的睡眠品质如此地恶劣,原因自己略知一二。
只是,仍然保持那种“什么事情都不会完全告诉别人”的态度。

兴奋的时候最喜欢感染别人
烦恼的时候最喜欢一人承担
不善于表达自己的情感和情绪 是我对自己的残忍

那书、那工、那人都是侵袭脑袋细胞的元凶
我想要那顶四方帽
我想要为工作努力
我想要珍惜那个人
我想要帮你解解忧

我最想的 还是双脚踏在那片令人振奋的陌生土地上
挥霍我的青春 我的泪水 我的知识 我的快乐

first thing first, study is the first at this point of time. Get it decided fast!

仍然是一线牵

一种很沮丧的心情
带我神游我的世界

我真的不想管 却不得不管
得来的 竟是你那句 你有管吗?
难道非我站在你面前才叫关心这件事?
此话让我非常沮丧 非常难过
却不会让我却步
你也是我最在乎的人

只是 你我的生活观点停留在不同的地理位置
我们看到的远方不同 月亮也大不同
我不必你承认我的世界 我也不会操作你的方向盘
只要 我知道你过得好
说了 你也扭曲我的好意
真的 我真的非常沮丧

不过 我仍然跟着自己定下的脚步前进
你虽然否认我 我也不会因而停滞不前
因为我的世界 我自己会掌控自己决定

你 也要知道自己的未来得自己努力
我 不想你跟他一样 总是用自己的观点来看世界
最后 把大家都拉垮了

我们 到底怎么了 我很珍惜你们
请我们回归那个圆点
就算真的不美 但它仍然是一线牵

To accept Uni of Northumbria or not

By 14 Mar, I need to decide to accept or not.

University of Northumbria offers me one year top-up degree, Bachelor in Human Nutrition. I was offered 1000 pounds scholarship and thus it makes up to 7700 pounds of tuition fee for a year.

I can get further discount of 1000 pounds, If I pay my full tuition fee half a year ahead before school starts on 15Sept. Thus, I gotta make decision by 14 March in order to save 1000 pounds which is almost equivalent to RM7000. It is really a huge amount to me. Well, I always have second choice of getting 500 pounds discount if I pay tuition fee 3-6 months in advance.

Low ranking is the limitation of this university. I afraid limited recognisation of the degree too. Apart from this, I'm very pleased with the tuition fee, year of study, living city and cost.

Things to be done to make decision.
1. Send emails to Mrs Tay and Ms Toh who are Nutrition Lecturers. -Waiting reply-
2. Send email to Singapore Nutrition and Dietetic Association. -Waiting reply-
3. Send email to potential university that I may continue my Master in Nutrition/Dietetics.
4. Send email to Health Promotion Board about recognition of the Bachelor.
5. Consult MOE on deferment of serving bond.
6. Compare modules with other universities offer Nutrition degree.

What else I miss out?
