GMC knows why there are sanctions on my practice

In High Court GMC argued that they do not have to give the reasons for sanctions on doctor's practice. This is exactly what they said when asked:

WAKE UP GMC, RELIGION IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU

GMC remains committed to proliferation of religious texts on which people are sworn during the disciplinary proceedings.

Political correctness is not good for GMC.
GMC should be free of all religions and really committed to health rather than imaginary powers.
Wake up GMC and live now. Click on the link below to watch this animation:

REVOLUTION AT GMC


General Medical Council has a new President Peter Rubin who says: Bon Appetit! in his newly fitted GMC kitchen.


As a Professor of Therapeutics he should now expand his knowledge of poisoning for the benefit of general public. He said: " It is an honour and a privilege to become Chair of GMC. The next few years for GMC will be challenging and exciting as we continue to deliver a major agenda for change". Yes, please. Read this website for some ideas.

high.

okay, so i recently broke up with my lover. At one point i thought to myself why was i still staying with this guy. I wasn't happy during the last few weeks that we were together and i had frequent moodswings and blew up at my mom or family for small reasons. I'm sorry mom.

The days then passed and i went out alot with some of my friends. Drinking almost every night of the week. Getting high and getting fat was coming into me. I flirted with some guys and got rejected by them. This didn't happen to me often. Being high all the time made me look for booty calls, but no reply. I wasn't the jay i was before.

so it came to a point whereby when i was high i would call him and send him smses. He got annoyed at one point and told me to just say what i wanted to say through sms because he needed to rest. So i sent him an sms telling him that i miss him. He replied saying that he missed me too. But i said later that i do miss him, the bad thing is that i made a decision and i have to stick to it.

A big life changing experience should come by to me soon :(

MICACHU – JEWELLERY (ROUGH TRADE/ACCIDENTAL RECORDS)


MICACHU – JEWELLERY (ROUGH TRADE/ACCIDENTAL RECORDS)

With her backing band The Shapes the debut album from Micachu is a wretched mess of ideas and systematic hooks that sound autistic and extrovert.

Not very easy on the ear on first listen the fifteen tracks on display here display a sense of adventure not so common in modern (accepted) music and in many ways actually reminds me of those wonky early Pavement EPs that could often be rendered into nothing more than glorious noise. Rather than hulking lo-fi guitars here Micachu exhibits a more eclectic arsenal of instruments in reckless abandon (many homemade and very unorthodox) suggesting a personal leaning and preference towards Beck and a poison combination of whitey folk hip hop.

In her voice Micachu displays something of a hybrid of Kimya Dawson and a drunken teenage Polly Harvey (especially on “Guts”) as the music drips in Bjork weirdness but in a favourably M.I.A. crossed with Captain Beefheart influenced manner. That is not forgetting the Raincoat-esqe tone of sarcasm.

Produced by Matthew Herbert the rhythms hold surprisingly well considering what they are manufactured by as something of a paper thin version of legendary musical strangeness, sounding like a true outsider even if she is not necessarily one. That said, the times the songs fall on their arse they do come with something of a passing resemblance to The Shaggs in delivery and mentality.

You can tell the young Micachu has listened to music all her life as she rips off the intro to The Champs “Tequila” on “Calculator” probably without even realising it.

The highlight of the piece is “Worst Bastard” with its genuine pop hooks and tasty sentiments that provide real attitude and a flow that energises.

Ultimately the results are mixed as songs begin to lose hooks in preference to extensive meandering and exploration making the album something of a patience tester but equally unique in execution and definitely something to search out in the name of adventure.

You may hate me for “recommending” this record.

Thesaurus moment: intrepid.

MORRISSEY – SOMETHING IS SQUEEZING MY SKULL (POLYDOR/DECCA)


MORRISSEY – SOMETHING IS SQUEEZING MY SKULL (POLYDOR/DECCA)

There is so much pleasure to be taken from this year’s Morrissey model and the empowering confidence that is exuding there from. This is Morrissey in a defiant mood, indulging in ageing disgracefully and looking to offend with it.

With a sleeve that features Morrissey draped around a statue of Johnny Ramone, there is a punkish ferocity to proceedings that musically, dare I say, actually reminds me of early Fugazi. After only a few bars the track is already crisp and snapping with true bite, no surprise then that it was chosen as the opening track of on “Years Of Refusal”. This is something I cannot recall having heard from Morrissey’s band before. Why the sudden rise in tempo? Did something happen to his heart rate? Is this urgency real? Is he dying?

Once established as a more sprightly outing than usual the lyrics kick in as our man gets all defensive and accusatory opening with the greatest of lines in “I’m doing very well, I can block out the present and the bad now.” Take that disbelievers, within the first two lines of his new album he has told you to fuck off. He then ups the stakes with the inflammatory retort “I know that by now you think I should have straightened myself out but you drop dead.” These are fighting words. This is a man that will take you on and win. He should be running a pub in the East End and he knows it. I want to tap into his defiance. And fast.

“There is no love in modern life.”

At time when the musicians of this era seem to resemble old school boring politicians that people would vote in and keep their fingers cross for, this truly is a supreme being in this environment. This cuts to the bone with a poetry others can only dream of nearing.

Its great when heroes live up to their billing and reputation.

AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP – THESE SINS EP (TROUBLE RECORDS)


AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP – THESE SINS EP (TROUBLE RECORDS)

For a while now there has been something of a subtle buzz regarding this band and in reality it all seems something of an exercise of style over substance but a style such as this, compared to the current defining fare, I am very happy to find myself being suckered in and lapping it up like a kitten licking milk.

I always wanted to date a reformed goth, a lady with a dark demeanour but obviously one that would not be laughed at in the street by teenagers. My ideal goth lady would possess a finely tuned sense of humour in addition to a pretty good record collection including records by The Cure (the good ones and the bad ones). Now if you added to this equation the lady being Asian, chunky and with a killer fringe you have something and someone I could get very excited about. Suddenly you see how I (and not I alone) have been suckered in my An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump.

Musically there is a restrained, undistorted Jesus & Mary Chain feel to the band with primal Moe Tucker-esqe drum beats and patterns coupled with looping guitars and a tribal sounding delivery in both the vocals and lyrics that are goth in a Lydia Lunch kind of way, unashamedly taunting in content.

By the time we reach the cover version of “100%” by Sonic Youth a distinct No Wave tone appears to have found its way onto the b-side (named the “Inside” to the a-side’s “Outside”) followed by the most expressive song of this restrained release in “The Past Between Us”.

This band would have been a perfect goth band for 4AD in the eighties but now, I’m not so sure. Here’s hoping for good things however.

A day before my quarter-life crisis!!

I am doomed lor I am starting to blog this picture post at 7am (haven't slept) and there are 156 pictures!

I'm gonna try not to put too many words in.




Eh.....................


















As promised, red and yellow pic. Horribly sunburnt.




My arm's skin actually crackling before it could be peeled off.



Almost recovered from my third-degree burns.

Can still see my arm peeling!



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





KK and her bf wanted a puppy so she took me to the Seletar puppy mill... The living conditions for both humans (humans there sleep in same room as dogs on thin mattresses - can you say stinky?!) and dogs there is really horrible! It's like not a part of Singapore man!

The stud is from the mill and it's mad dirty-looking lah. The old man works there and he isn't too clean either.

But overall, I'd say the mill is not as bad as people often describe lah. You can drive there and see if you want! Seletar farmway.

Anyway... The photo is of two malteses fucking, obviously. The bottom is someone's pet. As you can see it's much better groomed.

I'm becoming one of those annoying animal lover people because I'm quite irritated that the owner would want his dog to give birth.

Doesn't he know that birth could have serious consequences and could possibly even KILL his dog? Why would anyone who love their pets knowingly make their pets die younger?!

But well... His dog.


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


Jon and KK's new puppy!!




It doesn't like you



2 months old only and it's yorkie/shih tzu mix!!

It's mad floppy and it's super weird coz it's apricot in colour...

Something both parents are not.

And that's why it's called Peaches!!!



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

Last batch of Ixus shots




The irony. My old Canon Ixus taking a photo of my new Lumix.

And doing a shit job of it too.

Well goodbye! I'm never gonna have problems with macro shots again.

It's like poetic justice that the last batch of photos the Ixus takes will be that of the great Lumix.



Without flash - dark plus blur.



Before blinging, I apply white nail polish to the black leather strip to make the background colour even.




In between the big gems are tiny pink pearl gems.

=)



Base done













It's not completely done yet!!!

Side rims are gonna get blinged too!


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


New camera's photos!!!

Wishing for world peace





I love this!

Spinach cooked with

salted eggs,

century eggs and

normal eggs!









Lao niang was delegated to cut the cake because Huifen said that superstition dictates whoever's birthday is next must cut the cake for luck.







Sheng Rong: Defier of the saying that no humans can lick their elbows.



I can too!



Almost, I swear!!



Eekean failing miserably.
Her tongue was like 1 inch away from the target.

Estee with Pumpkin!

PK was an instant hit with all the girls there man. Now everyone wants a yorkie and they all think that all yorkies are this size and won't bark. Hahahaha!




Bdae boy with his family in front of swimming pool.

I hate people with their own pools!! I want one too!


Ming and Estee





For his birthday Ming's parents gave him a little model of a VW Golf GTI.

He looked quizzically at them until he saw the papers inside. That's just a tiny model of the real thing he is getting!!

Sigh... Why isn't anyone giving me the Copen I want??



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

I bought a mad chio
Chanel-inspired bag!!




I don't even like Chanel's designs very much but this one is like purplish-pink and super shiny!!!







I love how it has so many compartments and matches my nails :D

(It is INSPIRED and not FAKE - there are no Chanel logos on the bag)


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


My birthday started yesterday!!

(26th that is, 2 days before my actual birthday)


I woke up with this on the bed:



Awwwwwwwwwww!

A Bangawan Solo birthday cake may not seem very romantic to most but it feels extra special to me because the brand feels so Singaporean and it reminds me of how Mike gave up his life in USA to come live here with me.

That day I asked him if he knew what Prima Deli is and he said no, so I told him they make pies and pastries. Then he replied, "Oh, is it like Polar?"

Very cute right!!

Then dinner at our favourite restaurant:











I'm gonna be really annoying and not tell you where it is because I am terrified that the place would be flooded with customers and the standard will then drop. If you already know good for you!!



Parma ham covering sweet melon and salad







Baked Eggplant



Mike's chicken tomato-cream pasta



My crabmeat linguine. OMG I love this dish so much!

Everytime I order it, I do this:
















Extract the chunks of crab meat to the side
and very very slowly savour them.



They are mad generous with the crab!!


And then back home....




My baby sings the Happy Birthday song to me way too early





Doggie is happy to get some cake



And so am I!


Tomorrow is my birthday so

wish me happy birthday ya all!!!
