McDreamy did the McNasty with the McHottie the McBastard!

If I were really and truly stranded on a deserted island, there’s only one person I’d really want with me.

Dr.McDreamy

Yes, Dr McDreamy from Grey’s Anotomy. He’s my McDreamy + McHottie + McSteamy :D Isn’t he gorgeous?

What? You don’t know who he is? Ok, let me tell you about him.

Dr Derek Shepherd a.k.a Dr. McDreamy

Derek Shepherd is a renowned brain surgeon who we are led to believe moved to Seattle from New York a little bit before the series debuted. He and his intern, Meredith Grey, met and slept together during the Pilot, before they even knew each other’s identity, with their romance blossoming soon after.

Derek is married to Dr. Addison Montgomery Shepherd, who he left in New York after finding her in bed with his best friend Mark Sloan, a plastic surgeon. Addison joining the staff at Seattle Grace during Season Two resulted in constant conflict for Derek as he struggles to repair his marriage and deal with his feelings for Ms. Grey. Ultimately, he goes for his true love.

Dr. Shepherd was nicknamed “McDreamy” by the female interns at Seattle Grace. The man has some amazing hair. He and Dr. Preston Burke (while he was around) were among the hospital’s top surgeons and there has been occasional friction other which one the chief, Dr. Richard Webber, would name as his successor.

Derek was named Chief of Surgery by Richard at the end of Season Three, but he did not accept. He and Addison got a divorce after he rekindled his love for Mer, but he has expressed doubts over that relationship’s chances of lasting, as well. As he put it, he doesn’t know if he can keep breathing for her.

We’ll see what Season Four holds for these two.

Damn you, Charlie!

The Rove beetle that is increasingly common in Malaysia. Their bodies contain the toxin paederin (hence Paederous dermatitis) that causes burns on human skin whenever they are crushed. Interestingly the beetles were used to burn off warts in the past. It starts off with some erythema/redness and then with patches of ulceration where the beetle has been crushed.

The rove beetles are surprisingly small and very easy to miss. Normally they fly into your house via the windows as they are attracted to light at night. They can fly up apartment blocks and are common if you live near a hill or jungle.

INFORMATION ON CHARLIE a.k.a ROVE BEETLE

bite_rove_beetle

The Rove Beetle is less than 1 cm long. The body is dark orange and the tip of the abdomen, the upper abdomen and the head are black. The upper middle iridescent greenish region of the abdomen are the hard wings (elytra). A pair of transparent wings are neatly folded and hidden under the hard wings. During daytime, the beetle will be seen crawling around swiftly with hidden wings resembling ants. When disturbed it raises the abdomen in a threatening gesture like a scorpion and can fly away. It can also run on water swiftly !

The haemolymph in the beetle’s entire body (except the wings) contains the most poisonous animal contact toxin in the world called ‘pederin’. It is 12 times more poisonous than cobra venom !  Contact collision with the beetle while traveling or sleeping, crushing it on the body or smearing with soiled fingers can cause conjunctivitis and severe dermatitis known as dermatitis linearis.

Since the beetle is attracted to lights at night, switch off or minimize the lighting and close doors/ windows during the beetle epidemic. Use fine mosquito netting, aerosol insect spray, glue traps etc. Do not sit near lights, do not smash the beetle on the body, just blow it away ! If there is contact with the beetle, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Those who suffer severe skin reactions should seek medical attention.

Yes, this is how it looks like on my tight. And yes, I got this love bite from Charlie, the Rove Beetle.

FYI, this is not my tight. Just for illustration purpose.

I love the mystery of the storyline, drama, thrills and a little bit of actions perhaps. I just gotta know what happen next… Just love it.

People said that the book’s version is much more better than the movie’s version. For now, I’ll settle with the movie version as I have not yet finish reading the book.
