End Of A Long Week!

Written by Christopher Kia on 5:47 PM

This week has passed by so quickly for me! It probably felt so because I was so busy in hospital...saving kids....and their eyes (heh). Today is officially the last day of my 3-weeks attachment with the Ophthalmology (Eyes) Department in the Women's and Children's Hospital. It was really interesting to see so many different-from-normal cases and eye problems! I even saw a kid with glasses who looked like the kid in Stuart Little!

Since the world can be so random nowadays, here are some of my random thoughts right now:

1. Thank God for being me through such a fruitful week!

2. I realize that the less sleep I have per day, the more alert I will be in lectures.

3. Should I get the new Nokia 6500 Classic Slide from 3?

4. My next attachment will be in the Pediatric Emergency Department. Daily scrubs attire here i come! I have a feeling I am going to enjoy it so much :)

5. I love my brand new room!

6. I had a lecture about child abuse today. I really cannot imagine how some parents can look into the eyes of their kids and still abuse them. I thank God that He's a Great Healer, and that He is the only One who is able to set people free from an abusive past.

7. I think I'm quite sure I am going to do surgery. I just cannot imagine how much I love to hang out in the surgical theatre :D

8. I feel so near home now that I can have webcam sessions with my family back home. I can still see my cute little niece Sarah grow up!

9. Quote from my lecturer, "Children are irritable because they are irritable"

10. Yet another quote, "The range of human stools (poo) is infinite" (hahahahahahahaha!)

Have a great weekend everyone!

BitComet Is Toppled!

Written by Christopher Kia on 11:51 PM

Yeap, that's right! Just when BitComet made it to my Top 10 Must-Downloads for 2007, another torrent downloader has successfully toppled it. I've formatted my laptop recently and have decided to give FlashGet a go as my torrent downloader. I've used FlashGet before in the past but previous versions worked only as a download manager and not a torrent downloader. Credits to Sze Liang for introducing yet another great torrent downloader to me! After installing it and trying it for a month now, I've decided that I'm not going to use BitComet ever again :)

FlashGet
Pros:
1. It's 100% FREE!
2. No advertisement banners unlike many other free programs. (The newest version of BitComet has advertisement banners)
3. Faster download speed
4. Works as a download manager as well. That's one thing I really like about this program. It doubles up as a download manager unlike BitComet which doesn't deal with anything but torrents.
5. Very user-friendly and simple interface.

Cons:
None!

Highly recommended program! Download link here
