dominos


funny how our lives revolve around food most of the time.

so we had lunch at dominos together and 'makan besar', there were 9 of us and i realized that i have spent a lot of money on food this week.

but i would have to say the best thing about today is the fact that leeches and maggots are used as a form of treatment. we had a lecture on the introduction of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative medicine today and i have to say i didn't think that learning about maggots and leeches would be interesting.here i'll give u guys an intro:

LEECHES

the usage of leeches for treatment has been used since egyptian times and was really popular back then, followed by the greek. however, it really got popular starting from the 80's by calling it hidurotherapy. some of the cool facts of leeches are that:

1. local anesthetic
2. anticoagulant
3. initiates local venous circulation

there u go,
[ tolong hannan jgn jdik NERD ]

gonna stop now.
