When I was young, I used to hear a lot about stem cell researches going on. In the media and entertainment industries, script writers and movie producers try to portray these medical innovations into movies far beyond imaginations of humankind. Authors write medical fiction on this stem cell topic, giving so many room for readers to picture what is it like if stem cells really can make a huge success in the medical world. I have always been amazed at this innovation.

As I grow older, I learn that stem cell researches are no longer just imaginations, fiction or ‘as seen in the movies’. I started to realise that in reality, there are very real researches going on. Stem cells are considered the most ‘pluripotent’ of all cells, in layman, that means these cells have the capacity to be grown into almost any type of cells, given the right ’signals.

This is one of the most exciting medical discovery, giving scientists the reason to explore in depth into the possibility that one day, stem cells can be grown to replace cells that harm human or cause diseases of the body. Recently, I read that women can greatly benefit from this stem cell research. Just imagine - stem cells can be harvested from menstrual blood every month! Those cells can be harvested and later on helped when the particular woman needs healthy cells in the future. Seems like some medical fiction? Maybe no longer. Medical revolutions have been booming so much lately that one day, these genius discoveries can be used in sports treatment and cosmetic purposes. I am almost certain these revolutions would be realised in the very near future. Give a few years, and we shall see.

The best time for a vacation is during the summer. Long hours in the day and great weather, sun shine and warm air is always the best time to go somewhere. Even so, every season has its own time to visit somewhere special. I have heard so much about New York from my friends and many of us has planned to visit the city soon. I’ve even listed out the things to do in New York City. One of the must do things there is to visit Madame Tussauds New York Wax Museum. I’ve been to Madame Tussauds in London and I dont think I should miss this one! Next is going to the Central Park, one of the largest park you can ever find in the world!

One of my friend suggested we visit Boston during this coming fall and to visit Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Federer just lost his first round in Roger’s cup to Simon. Devastating!!!!! What happened!!! It was a great start but….I feel as if I am not supposed to be watching these matches..I’m not very good in tennis but it just makes me feel so heart broken! No more Fed’s matches for me….

I shall change my sport to Swimming!!! Looking forward to Olympics 2008 Beijing Aquatic events! :cry:

N82

After I decided on N78, i heard that it is lagging etc. Well, maybe I should change to N82…the specs are more a less the same and the price doesn’t differ much. Even thought my dream phone is a pda, but I guess I can settle with something less, it’s not like I’ve never used the most basic phone. I realised that I need to reconsider what are the purpose of getting a new phone - fashion? style? or  is it really a need instead of want?

I wonder what phone Federer uses! :razz:
