Gong Xi Fa Chai as Med Stud ?

This is Day 2 of Chinese New Year(CNY)- Wooden Goat they said.

According to traditional custom, day 1 of CNY, Chinese will pay visit to elders, relatives and friends.

I would like to share some of my special greetings from friends and colleagues at day 1 of CNY

Hi boon seng, happy CNY! wanna disturb u agn... >< about this ques: Discuss the karyotype of down syndrome, if 5 marks are allocated for this ques. what should be the answer? I only manage to think a few pts 1. results from non-disjunction (failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis) 2. karyotype: 46, XY, 21+ (presence of 3 chromosomes 21) 3.

hi boon. hpy cny to u and your family. i came across smtg related to hypocalcemia and it seems to be confusing. thought maybe u can help me to solve my confusion. i read that hypocalcemia causes muscle tetany and muscular spasm. and the reason given was that hypocalcemia causes increased muscular excitability (increased Na+ permeability of cell membrane) caused by a deficit in Ca+ which will keep Na+ gates closed. This increases depolarization. Depolarization therefore becomes much more excitable. Bcause as we knw in action potential, there are voltage gated calcium channels which are slightly permeable to sodium ions, and they are present numerous in cardiac and smooth muscle. this makes sense. but what i am confused is that, at the very first place, calcium is needed to move from ECF to presynaptic membrane to cause opening of the vesicles containing Ach to be relased from presynaptic membrane into the synaptic cleft. then only the subsequent steps can be taken to ensure a proper nerve impulse transmission. so if calcium itself is low in blood, it cant even help to release the Ach, (i suppose), so hw this leads to hyperexcitability. isnt it supposed to cause weakness ?? tx for ur help boon.

Guess what, I did according to custom in Traditional Chinese way, if people gave you gift, you must do the same. I replied their inquiries even at CNY day 1.

No life you would say.

Part of me argued, by doing so you are positively re-inforced them that you're time is less important than theirs.

Part of me argued that they must be have trust in me by seeking help from me, I must offer help that within my ability.

Part of me argued, these questions can be directed to others. I'm not the only one with answer.

It's truly a mixed feeling to received a text message that start with Happy Chinese New Year and I wish to...

I would prefer if they hit the nail on the head. At least, I don't feel the sorry.

The hidden meaning were: I'm really sorry but i have to disturb your CNY holiday anyhow, would you...

hahaha... anyway, this is my own explanation that make myself looks pathetic.

Later bunch of guys out there will criticize me as attention seeker and act pity as victim.

Let it be, Let it go.

Life's unsatisfying, thus human created festives and special events to have fun.

The happiness and the glorious moment come and go.

You'll wake up the next day discovering that life's still going on as normal.

The cycle repeats.

Stop sounds so gloomy

Let's have some CNY song!
