Wow!!

Medical dramas are a genre of their own. Imagine the expenses, the props, the acting, the dialogue. If you are going to make an easy movie, you'd probably not choose to do a medical drama.

Medical drama is nothing new. We had ER since yonks ago, now there is House (wicked!!), we have Grey's anatomy, we have Private Practice. But all these span across seasons after seasons, one must got to be long suffering to be following all these through and through, so I had given up watching all of the above. And it does get boring after a while.

Few days ago, purely by chance did I find this really AWESOME medical drama. Surprising thing is, it is korean drama which I don't normally watch (way too draggy and long suffering). I didn't have high expectations for it, being bias I know.

I was hooked!!! Till the very end..... so sad that it had to come to an end.

A heroic leader, a cheeky monkey, a stubborn girl, plus emotions packed to the rafters. You will be hooked too!!

With all good things, share the goodness of it right??

Go watch it for yourself at http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/New_Heart

Uhmmmm.... word of caution, if you are phobic about blood, brace yourself!


If you like New Heart, you will like this japanese medical drama "Tomorrow"

Food for thought

Am writing this while waiting for the curtin server to recover..... murphy's law I tell ya. Always happens when you need it.

Have you ever had a good look at the food that you are eating??

Since the beginning of this semester, we never really had a proper break on most days. Running late from seeing patients, scoffing down food seems to be norm. Have you tried finishing your lunch, 3 minutes flat?? Thanks to my parents, I get proper lunch. But with all that stuffing of food down the pipe, seems to be just another meal.

Today, I watched a show that featured a celebrity chef showing how to cook at home. Amongst of all the things that he taught, he has this to say "Cooking seems to be a lost art. We need to cook and eat as a family."

I have to admit, I need to have an appreciation for food.

Would really like to learn from the beginning, from growing of the food, to appreciating the taste, texture, smell. Some chefs are so passionate about their food, they go to they extent of going to farms and orchards to learn about produce. Wow!

Maybe this planting and appreciating things gotta be on hold for the moment. At least till I'm done with this course. The scoffing continues ...........

But I did flip open my sandwich today .... I saw cherry tomatoes, ham, fish floss ( i kid you not) and cheese. Yum!!

Have a good look at your plate of food. Go on! Smell it! Taste it! Savour it! Bon apetit :)
