Riding with the wind is so cool!

This time round, the instructors were cool and pro! They let us learn step by step how to change gear, change gear and stop without brake, then change gear and stop with brakes!! Sugoi! I wished these 2 instructors were my instructors all along and in future! They work super well together and teach really well! If only the other instructors were like that too.. :(

Riding fast in Gear 3 with the wind blowing really gives me the kick! Gear 3 Really is a kick man!! I wished i could just ride around the estates already lor.. It's like my addiction has been satisfied momentarily.. Somehow i dont see how i can NOT get a bike after passing my riding test.. haha

Changing gear, starting up.. seems so easy now! It's like, i can open throttle and half clutch at the SAME time lei!! Cool rite, so when i start up, i take no time at all, compared to the other ple in the lesson (hope this lasts man!) I do feel tat it's easier to control the bike and throttle now, and changing gear and stopping is no problem! Like, im still increasing throttle at the bend, then Right hand Close throttle, Brake (Foot brake + hand slightly) and then Left Side Clutch In, and Step down to Gear 1! ALL in the last 3 metres!! COOL!! SUGOI

Anws.. I think i was WAY better than the last lesson! and the instructor was Good looking too!! AHHH! When i asked him when he'd be teaching the next lesson, he said he doesn't know, cos it's arranged by the other admin staff =( SOBS

HAHA anws.. just hope i get better instructors since next lesson going into the circuit with all the other people learning car and bike! CANT WAIT!! HAHA

Apparently, there're 12 lessons in total! And i've failed twice, means my total is now 14. I intend to keep it that way, since most people take 15 times only.. i better be lucky and get Good instructors ALL THE WAY MAN!

Plus there're 2 compulsory theory lessons, 1 theory evaluation and 1 theory test to take, after i take my 4.01.. hehehehhee

I managed to learn Gear Changing properly this 2nd time of my Session 8 lesson.. but once again, dint pass.. haiz.. Starting and stopping is really difficult!! and the circuit is SUPER small =((

How i wished i could managed to start engine, change Gear 2, then Gear 3, slow down and stop eventually all in one small circuit!! but coordination really is important and it shows i dun haf enough of body coordination!!! ahhh

i attended a talk on cancer this Saturday.. It was organised by Care Cancer, a singaporean cancer society. As some of you guys might know, the head of Care Cancer is Billy Wang. Anws.. there were 3 talks in the afternoon, and I'd like to talk about 2 of the 3 talks. One was on this Non-invasive surgery technique that is performed to remove cancerous tumours in patients. The other was on Music Qigong therapy that has positive effects on cancer patients' recovery.

I found this talk especially interesting and useful in my course of study since there're actual techniques that can alleviate pain and suffering in patients terminally-ill. Psychology may help, but it's kinda secondary/tertiary help. compared to medicine or psychiatry, psychology is kinda behind its real effectiveness in a sense.

Non-Invasive surgery
All of us know that surgery is required to remove cancerous tumours in traditional surgery, which still applies for a large proportion of cancer tumors nowadays. With the advent of medical science and techniques however, Dr Wang Zhi Biao and colleagues have come up with this non-invasive i.e. non-surgical (no blood spilled) technique called HIFU technique. This technique has helped remove tumors in women's wombs (for women with cervical cancer) and has helped save the lives of many women. There were many women in the past who had their cervix removed, thus removing their reproductive system, leaving women gender-less.

Isn't that wonderful? Actually you can explore the site i included under HIFU technique to read up more about it =)

Music Therapy
This is invented by this prodigy master called Wu Shen. He knows more than 50 musical instruments and used the culmination of them all, together with his knowledge and research into the history of Chinese philosophy and music, and also his knowledge of Physics, to research into Therapeutic music for the body. His 30 year research has yielded tremendous results! He has created music that has healed many cancer patients! Just by listening to the music, the tone and specific vibration of it makes certain cells in the body 'dance' and move accordingly, which have healing properties. this research has been acknowledged in the West, and many celebs have actually benefitted from it as well! Even animals can be helped too, as a lady's dog who had cancer was cured from it after listening to the therapeutic music =)

You guys can find this website here.. There's much more explanation of the techniques used by Master Wu Shen in the website.

I greatly encourage u guys to read through these things since they're largely relevant in our lives!

And!! the throttle on one of the bikes with lowered seats.. it's way too dangerous! its so loose and hard to control! the training session was kinda traumatic because of the throttle!! bike also kinda 'broke down' and stopped midway a few times when i changed from 1st Gear to 2nd Gear! weird.. i'll try to avoid using it the next time - or check the throttle! haiz
