"Sir this is a very bright light. i'm going to use it to examine the back of your eye. I will need to get very close to you. it will be uncomfortable but please bear with it. if at any point you feel any pain I will stop immediately"
For Babinski:

Singapore stomp
I wonder if you've heard about Singapore Stomp? A website ostensibly run to encourage "you to generate the stories, you to write the reports, you to take the pictures and you to shoot the videos" it is, what i would call the ugliest site in singapore. And yes, its run by the Singapore Straits Times. (shame on you)
while i enjoy surfing other public forums from other countries which usually host more gentlemanly discussions on national issues, healthcare, politics - what i see in Singapore is just the propensity for tabloid news, porn (copious amounts of shockingly risque stuff) and vigilante justice. Whats worse are the comments hoisted upon the reports by singaporeans who obviously are just hiding behind digital masks, revealing their true prejudices.
lets take a look at the main page.
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/index.jsp
most viewed articles?
1)S'pore girl posts her naked photo on Friendster
2)Another S'pore girl puts nude pics online...taken in HDB staircase
3)ACJC girl tied up, roughed up, and humiliated on elite JC premises
That pretty much sums up what attracts the attention of Singaporeans more accurately then any politically motivated poll...
are we one horny and gossipy nation!
As for the comments that accompany the articles - they reveal an even uglier side of singapore.
From the article about the girl who posted pictures of herself naked?

I agree with Hyourinmaru , ever since yr 1991 girls all are a disgrace to human , are they tryin to attract attention? Why not go orchard , maybe alot ppl would b attracted. And i notice (not tryin to b racist) muslim girls are wearin short skirts in my school and i heard some even had sex. Does the muslim law allow this??
can you imagine any of these people repeating such statements in the offline world? clearly for all our criticisms of poor behavior by western surfers, we are just as bad.
this article got me even more worked up:

Aiya, the title of illegal VCDs tat sold by the PRC woman
Wow. incredibly appalling yes? harking back to the racial divide in the states in the early 20th century. hitler's germany and japanese imperialism.
its a horrible horrible statement to make!

whoever wrote this once again makes me extremely sad and embarrassed to be a Singaporean. Why can't our nation wake up from the gutter and progress to a more gracious society. must we hang on to our petty classisms? or our religious bigotry? can we ever move on to having balanced intelligent articles that don't just shock, titillate or act as petty vigilante justice pieces?
i wonder. i pray.

Prof Salto Tellez and Myself at the NHG Congress 2008
Update! The results of the competition are out. Im very happy and thankful to have taken back a Gold Medal as Best Medical Student presentation/project! I really have to thank the team that i worked with for all the hours of excellent support and Dr Salto-Tellez as well Suhaimi for granting me the privileged access i had to the lab. Many thanks must also go to TK who provided me the primary Hes1 antibody, without which the project wouldn't even have been possible. I also wish special heartfelt gratitude to Suhaimi who taught me the protocols so patiently and really helped me get adjusted into the lab.
