Trip to Frazer's Hill

I'm gonna discribe my experience in Frazer's Hill on Tuesday (25th January) in a new post because I've updated my previous post and it was really really long, I guess.

I woke up at 9:30, prepared everything and we left the house at 9:45am. Walked to town, the girls we going to town in Lee Keng's car so they didn't join us walking. We bought 18 tickets, it was RM2.80 each, and surprisingly, in the bus there were only 3 other people aside from the whole bunch of us. The trip up Frazer's Hill was pretty long, the road was winding. Twisted here and there. I was pretty much dizzy by the time we reached there... couldn't walk straight, head was spinning a lil and felt a bit nauseous. We didn't have transport down cos the bus comes at 2:30pm but we reached there at about 11am, so wanted to hang around longer and have some fun before going back. So we went over to the information counter and asked the guy there to help us find some sort of transport back down to KKB.

After things were settled, we walked to a resort which has the Flying Fox. The surroundings were really beautiful, the flower gardens... the air was cool and felt really good. I felt so much at peace... much more than have ever been in a long long time. We took some photos here and there, I'd like to get some of em from the guys soon. When we reached the resort, we found out that the Flying Fox was closed, so was the archery... what was left is basketball. So we ate first, I must say... the foods there are really expensive, and the portions aren't any larger than usual. I had grilled chicken. Ben Shen kept the atmosphere going good by asking riddles and telling jokes. I like that guy, he's full of fun and never runs out of jokes.

Having done eating, we rented the basketball and headed to the court to play. To my disbelief, the rims were actually super low that all of us guys could just slam the ball in... haha it was really funny though. The first matched we had Alex and 7 girls against 4 guys (Ben Shen, Chu Kin, Wei Ming and I). We lost... sheesh..... what to do? Blame the low low rim lor =P I missed shots because I'm really not used to shooting at that height. In reality, can't even touch the board, what more slamming. The second game was 5 on 5 among the guys. David who's never played basketball before slammed in a lot of dunks, winning the game for their side... 7-0. I'm left speechless.

We returned the ball then walked over to the Paddock (sounded like that) with intentions of playing archery, however after a long walk there we were disappointed. Apparently archery was closed on that day, however there was horseback riding. There were a few horses there and one of the horses kept swaying its head from left to right, right to left.... we called it the ecstacy horse. Poor animal, its neck was bared of fur cos it scraped it against the wooden piece. Maybe was trying to commit suicide? I'll try to acquire the photos and the really funny video shoot taken soon. We started making our way back to the entrance where we first came. The guys were really eager to go jungle trekking, so we took the jungle trail. It was pretty fun, some of the girls (Jebbrine, Mun Yee and Alex) didn't want to go though the jungle trail so they took the road and waited for us. We had drinks after coming out, watched some tv... chatted a lil, then made our way back to the entrance. All in all it was a really fun and relaxing trip. All along really wished I could bring Carl Lin along... maybe someday.

We got 2 vans to bring all 19 of us down.... however, we reached there a little early, so all of us shopped for souvenirs. Its really dumb that more than half of the items in the shop didn't have the words "Frazer's Hill" on them... sheesh! When it was time to go back, we got into the vans... 7 of the girls and Alex and Wei Ming went into one van and the remaining 10 of us in the other. I felt car-sick like 10 minutes into the journey and it just got worse... the driver was mad I tell you! Here we are, 10 of us packed into the van like sardine going down a winding road... and he never braked at the corners!! Accelerating downhill all the way like he was rushing to be reborn or something, sheesh!! I got really really sick, and tried sleeping but didn't help much... I threw up the moment I got down from the van. A lot of us didn't feel very well either. We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant and then headed home. That night we all went to the guys' house to play mafia again. It was fun. ^_^

And that's all about my adventure in Frazer's Hill. I'd really love to visit it again sometime in the future. Cheers!

Back from KKB

Yay, I'm finally back home from KKB. It was a fun experience for me afterall! Made lotsa new friends and did lotsa fun stuffs. Lets see...

On the Sunday evening (23rd January), I boarded the bus at around 5pm. I sat beside Ronald and we chatted for a while before going to sleep. The trip was a pretty long one, we reached there at 6 something. The warden briefed us on the availability of food and entertainment around the place and we soon got the keys to our respective houses. My housemates were Wei Shen, Wei Ming, Ronald and David. At night we all walked to town for dinner... it was a pretty long walk, took about 30 minutes to get to town. Had dinner at a mamak stall, then roamed the town for a bit. Some of them went shopping for necessities at the grocery stores before we headed home. We then played cards till it was pretty late before going to sleep. I had the whole room to myself, however it was really warm and hard to sleep at night. I eventually fell asleep and that was how I spent my first night in KKB.


So well, the next day (Monday, 24th January) we had to be posted at the KKB Community Clinic... The bus came to pick us up at 7:30am. At the first stop the group A members were dropped off, and supposedly some of us too... but somehow the bus driver called us back up and told us that this wasn't the community clinic of KKB. So... we went back up and ended up at a place called Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Kubu Baharu. Sounds correct? Well, we went in... apparently, the doctors didn't seem to be around. So we walked around and watched nurses tending to mothers bringing their babies and stuffs. Strangely that's all there were... post-natal moms with their babies. We asked Timothy to send a message to Miss Tana the moment we discovered that there were no doctors. About 1 hour later, at 10 something. Miss Tana called and sounded really really furious. The reason? We were at the wrong place at the wrong time... sheesh!! Stupid bus driver! We all walked back to the hospital, which was about 30minutes away. Fortunately we didn't get any scolding because Miss Tana discovered that it was the bus driver's fault.

David and I were assigned to observer a doctor. Her name was Dr.Ng, along with a Chinese Staff nurse which seemed pretty experienced. Dr. Ng was pretty helpful and told us about some stuffs. Both doctor and nurse were enthusiastic about us medical students and tried to help in every way they could. However quite on the contrary, the doctor which Jebbrine and Sally were assigned to (Dr. Leong) seemed really unmotivated to work. Seems he even said that he regretted becoming a doctor... well, if the country's gonna be filled with these kinda doctors in the future... I'm gonna have good business coming in if I have a clinic =P

I don't know really... perhaps some people were being forced into becoming a doctor. As for me, it was the matter of personal choice. Even though sometimes I felt that it isn't something for me, maybe a little regretful... I really don't mind becoming a doctor. Its not really a bad profession... here in Malaysia, there's bound to be a job somewhere as a doctor. So far there's always a shortage of doctors in the government sector. Not really surprising... like duh! Professionals practising in private hospitals get like 3 times as much pay as compared to those working with the government. So you be the judge. I'd quit the moment I've done my 3 years of compulsory service under the government. Why? Lets compare

Government :-
- guaranteed job (iron rice bowl, like the Chinese say =P)
- more cases to attend to (probably beneficial for the first few years)
- longer hours (good for workaholics)
- low(er) pay (need I say more?)
- get all the benefits of being a government servant, like pensions, government loan, bla bla bla (probably good)

Private :-
- less cases (more tea-breaks? =P)
- relatively shorter hours
- 3 times as much pay
- yada, yada, yada.... I'm going private, no doubt.
And unless the government introduces a huge pay-raise to government serving doctors, there will ALWAYS be a deficit of doctors in government hospitals.


Well, back to the point... I would see myself as one of the doctors who are enthusiastic about future fellow doctors in the training. So far, all the medical staffs I've come across seemed to be very supportive and helpful to medical students... Sunny even got a discount, only having to pay 20 bucks to see a specialist (private).

The bus came at 4pm to take us back to the houses we're staying in. I bathed, napped a while until 7pm then went with the whole bunch to eat in town. Today we went to a chinese restaurant to eat. It was Mun Yee's birthday yesterday, so Ben Shen and some of the guys bought her a cake (from all of us). We celebrated, and after dinner went to buy waffle ice-cream. We went to play snooker. Only 5 people though, the rest of them went walking around shopping for stuffs. So, Wei Ming, Alex, Ben Shen, Hai Fon and I played. Its my first time playing, found that its much harder than pool, the table's a lot bigger... but it was fun though. We all planned to go to Frazer's hill the next day, as it was Thaipusam. That night we played mafia till late into the night. Fun fun!

Moody me....

Woke up feeling really lousy... so I went back to sleep... well not really sleep, just lying around on my bed. My mind was clouded with thoughts on what to bring for the KKB trip... Finally mustered the strength go get my lazy ass off the bed to do the last things before leaving... Damn, feeling so moody. I'm leaving in an hour's time and I still haven't gotten my things packed! Grrrrr.....

Gonna miss home... gonna miss my darling... gonna miss my friends... gonna miss my computer... and my bed... on second thought, I want a new bed. Sheesh =P

Don't feel like going... why must they do this to me! Can't they just have me posted like.... somewhere nearby IMU where I don't have to stay overnight? Bleh... no point in lamenting. Gonna go there and beat down those lonely days... its only for 5 days... sigh....

I'm signing off..... until 5 days from now. If there's anyone out there reading at all, do leave comments. Most of the time it feels like I'm just talking to myself... spaming the crap out of myself, geez....

My last moments...

I went to teach tuition at 10am today. Lessons went on pretty smoothly today. When it was over, my lady boss said she wanted to talk to me. She asked me about her daughter's progress in which and whether I wanted to teach her sons as well... however her sons are doing their subjects in Chinese, of which I know little of. So, I said I'll think about it. Not a bad idea for extra income really... just wonder if I can.

I drove to Summit after that to meet up with Carl Lin. Reached there at about 12:40pm and decided to watch Crazy n' the City. It was a good movie, about a young aspiring policewoman (Joey Yung), a police senior who seems to have lost passion for his job (Eason Chan) and a guy who went crazy due to business failure. Some parts of it were humourous, others were really tragic... the ending was pretty good, ^_^

After the movie, we went to meet up with her friends at KFC and went on to play pool soon after. Carl Lin went to buy books leaving us guys to play pool. I partnered with Jian Wan against Sien Fong and Carl Lin's 'nephew' (forgotten what name la =P). I played pretty well, it was fun that I could actually hit balls into holes...and some were hard shots too. ^_^ we won 3-1 out of 4 games.

Got hungry after that and went to McD with Carl Lin... didn't feel like going back though... cos its gonna be a long, long time before I see her next. I was an idiot while looking for my car! I set in my reminder that I parked at C43... but went in circles looking for C34 which doesn't seem to exist! Sheesh..... super blur. On my way home, I started dozing off and swerved from lane to lane..... tried listening to the radio loudly but that didn't help much. I finally stayed awake when once I swayed into the fast lane and a car behind horned at me. The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful, but I was feeling tired...

I don't like the idea of having to go to KKB... I don't know many among my group... just hoping I'll get along with them just fine. Yew Weng called me a few times through, asking if I wanted to sleepover at Chris' house tonight. Didn't expect mom to allow so but she did, however Chris was having a big dinner tonight and going out tomorrow so it had to be postponed to some other day.

Day out in Subang

Tuition today was okay, taught about cells... its pretty challenging, as the first question I asked (Do you know what are cells?) was replied with 'no'. And well, that was a pretty large hurdle to jump across. I guess I eventually did get what I wanted to teach into my tutee's head =P

After that, I went to pick Chee Leong, Chris, Yew Weng and Jin Weng and we went to Subang to hang out (hang kai, jalan-jalan, whichever...). Reached there at about 2:10pm or so... it was quite fortunate to have gotten a carpark without going through too much trouble searching. We went to the food court across Taylor's and Inti college where Cho was waiting. I went to see Carl Lin a bit, then rejoined my friends for lunch. After lunch, we went to a cybercafe... I thought of reparking my car, but ended up parking back just a few slots nearer... having wasted so much of time. We played till about 6 something, then went to have drinks at a nearby dessert shop. I had honeydew milk tea ^_^

We chatted for quite some time there, and then went to the Taylor's Business School building to play pool. Had dinner at a mamak... everyone had double special chicken burger =P

Its a tiring but fun day. I somehow feel like time is running short... well must be the foreboding KKB trip. Freaks me...

Not feeling very well

I fell sick 3 days back... guess it musta been the durians being too heaty for me. Lets see what's been going on in my life the past few days....

Yesterday, I woke up at about 10:15am and was just coming downstairs... blur blur.... and mom asked me to tuition her friend's daughter. So I said okay, and started right away at 10:30am. My tutee's name is Low Hsin Yang (or something like that) and her mom's office is just near-by, across the road. My parents just dropped me off there and I got started. At that time I was thinking... geez, my first time teaching tuition... felt kinda nervous, but well... things turned out fine. I wonder if its the skills acquired from PBL =P

As for today, I had to babysit bro... fetched him from kindergarten at 12pm and went straight to Subang to see Carl Lin. Went home at 2, but reached home at 3:30 or so... ran out of petrol, had to pump some. Been sleeping pretty much all the while before this post. Mean ole cough back to haunt me... *sob* *sob*

Holidays, again! ^_^

Its been 2 days of not posting... been exhausted with exams and all. First off, on the night of the day I went to the community clinic (12th Jan), I had a nightmare about having gangrene on my right foot... and it got necrosized so bad that I had to get it amputated. I tell you, its emotionally traumatizing... not being able to do things which I previously could... like driving - in my dream I got into a pretty serious accident... cos I couldn't control my foot. And then I was stuck in the wreckage, and people we crowding around but no one came to help... instead they laughed at me. For some reason I just wanted to die there and then. I wouldn't really consider this as first hand experience... but it puts me in a position to empathize upon those who've had to get amputation because of gangrene from diabetes and hypertension. I woke up from terrible shock at 2am that night... touched my feet over and over again to make sure they were there, what a relief! Sheesh.... seen too many amputees and gangrenes in community clinic visits...

The CVS exams on Thursday went pretty okay...... until the course coordinator gave us the answers for the questions after we handed up our papers in the feedback session. Gah! It was horrible... I sure hope I can pass. I stayed up till 4:30am to work on my PBL presentation.

PBL on Friday went pretty well for me, I received pretty good comments from Hafiz and Wei Shen that I've improved as compared to the past. Also got some constructive critisism from Baxter that I was being pretty monotonous in my presentation. Oh well, I'll work on my presentation skills somemore. Today's probably the last PBL session with Dr. Lawrence... its pretty sad, the thought that our new fascilitator might be someone who doesn't care much for us achieving what we were supposed to from PBL's and would rather go home sooner. Eve suggested that we set down some ground rules to ensure that we don't stray away and deteriorate. Hopefully we'll get someone better ^_^

So after PBL, I went to Taylors to see Carl Lin but didn't get much time with her... I was 15minutes late, having to hand in my claims letter for driving to Nilai. It didn't help that I couldn't find a single parking spot around at SS15... how sad. Went to Yew Weng's house after that. It was supposed to be some sort of a LAN party, but Sunny and Chee Leong didn't turn up... along with their laptops >.< so... it was just Chris, Lock, Yew Weng and I... along with Chris' laptop and Yew Weng's scarily static computer....

As for today, I've just done washing mom's car... nothing much going on, feeling pretty tired... guess I'll finally be getting more rest

Tired....

I'm so exhausted, feel like collapsing to sleep right now... Been to Nilai community clinic this morning, was really sleepy all throughout both journeys. Hafiz and Arathi followed my car, whereas the rest went with Wei Shen. Marilyn didn't come, for some reasons unknown to me... but we signed her attendance in the log book anyway. Ahh what good friends we are =P. Didn't do much there, today was hypertension out-patient day... just saw the family medicine specialist diagnosing patients and stuffs.

Slept in the library for like 1 hour when I got back to IMU, then studied my note abit. It was hard to absorb the lecture today cos I was feeling tired, towards the end mind was just drifting to blankness.... hate puting up late nights, one of these days I'll just go to sleep early and get all rested up... as for tonight.... don't think there'll be any of that.

Miserable Me

I'm just back from Uni, wasn't quite awake during lectures today... After the lectures there was this briefing about the community clinics I have to visit during my rotation... and to my dismay, I not only have to be at KKB for 3 days for the hospital posting but also have to go there on the first week itself for 4 days (supposed to be 3, but thanks to Thaipusam.....=.= )

Now, I don't like the idea of going so far away for 5 days, having to leave on Sunday evening.... Grrrrrrrrr!! Not that I don't welcome the chance to gain new experiences and all... seeing that Sunny changed a lot during his stay makes it something worth looking forward to. Just hate to be away from home, away from friends, away from my comp, my bed.... yeah... I'm a computer junkie, and I'd rather live in comfort than evade mosquito bites all night long at the hostels provided in KKB... I'm still considering if I wanna drive there, afraid I might get lost following the bus. Oh well, if I do drive there I guess I've got a list of people I'd wanna bring along in my car... my orientation group members and PBL mate. Things aren't even finalized yet, I don't even wanna bother with it until after my CVS exams.

For the group assignment thingie which we were all supposed to do, I didn't get into a group at all! Its my fault... being quiet when I'm amongst a crowd composed mainly of people whom I don't know. Sigh... I'll eventually get a group. Just feel lousy about myself... I have absolutely zero socializing skills. Sometimes I really wonder how I got myself such wonderful friends, those around me... I guess sometimes situation just calls for it ^_^

Have to go to Nilai Community clinic again tomorrow.... ahh well, its just a waste of time really. I wonder if this time we'll have a longer tea break =P

Living life, med student style

I slept pretty late last night, couldn't quite fall asleep till almost 5 in the morning... when I finally fell asleep, Kok Chuan nicely called me up at 8:45am asking if there was PBL or not..... >.<

For that brief moment, in my blurriness... I had thought that I was mistaken, and that PBL was at 8:30am instead of 12:30pm..... bleh. Oh well, I'd like to see his reaction later =P

Just eaten lunch, was wondering how come there was so much rice that it seems endless... apparently mom ordered an extra large rice on top of it. Feeling so full now, and tired too... I have to fight to stay awake in classes today. Its nearing exams, can't afford to lose out a single bit... guess sweets will be my only pals in this.

Looking forward to the one week of holidays I have next week and also the rotations, which are practically holidays. And as for now, I've to sign off right now and get my heavy ass off to uni ^_^

Saturday, January 08, 2005

What do I say when I've nothing to post about?

Well..... I try to keep post rate to a daily basis... so here I am, spamming my own blog =P

Nothing much happened today, spent time on everything else but studying... kinda feel bad about things. I need to study consistently... just hoping for the best. At least right now I can still tell myself "I'm not stupid", wonder if it'll still apply after next Thursday....

Feeling really tired, more so physically than mentally...

Locus of control

I woke up at 7:10am this morning to finalise my PBL presentation... didn't really have much time, but I got it done. Been wondering how I was gonna present it, hadn't been confident about doing stuff out of memory and knowledge. Lately Dr.Lawrence has been pointing out my habit of reading out from the paper rather than explaining stuffs which I should have already known well in the first place. So well, I reached IMU at 8:35, and went on to photostate the notes for my presentation... I found Marilyn and Jin-Yu already there so tumpang'ed them to photostate my notes =P

Dr. Lawrence turned up late... oh well, everything has its first. I waited for my turn to present, formulating the words to say and stuffs... I did a pretty okay job I guess. ^_^

Surprisingly after Hafiz's presentation, they threw a surprise party for Marilyn (her b'day yesterday)... brought cake, food and all. So well, had a feedback session and I'm pretty glad I improved.... don't have the fluency which Eve has but I guess that can be touched up on. The session dragged out long with Dr. Lawrence sharing valuable experience about his time in IMU and his views about PBL. I couldn't make it to Taylors to see Carl Lin at 11, so I decided to go at 2...

Went to see Ms.Ong to have a chat, then went to library to study. At 1:20 I left for Subang... the roads are pretty much changed, with constructions going on here and there.... Met up with Carl Lin for a while, until 3... then she had to leave home with her friends.

On my way home... I foolishly got lost and ended up going through 3 unnecessary tolls totalling up to RM4.70. Now guys and girls out there reading my posts.... let me explain to you all what I learnt in lecture about 'locus of control' from Dr. Paul Jambunathan's lecture....

There are two types of locus of control.... the inner locus of control, and the outer locus of control.... People with inner locus of control feel they have control of themselves, and whatever happens is because of them and that they are able to make a difference..... If I were someone with an inner locus of control, which I think I am... I'll put the blame on myself for being such a bloody idiot... and if I were someone with an outer locus of control, I'd go on bitching about the fucking government putting up so many tolls without clearly indicating where I'm heading for, which I'm going to do right now cos I'm losing control.....

ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!! So damn pissed!! Bloody transport ministry, or whomever it regards! Raised the toll rates again.... and then nicely putting up USELESS highways like the New Pantai express highway in which the number of users can be counted on the fingers of one hand..... that includes me, the idiot who unknowingly fell victim to it.... >.<

Not to mention having 2 tolls so close to each other charging RM1.60 each! Its like.... go in RM1.60, go out another RM1.60.... where's the justice in this world!?

Bah, enough of my ranting.... I'm just an idiot, that can be changed.... the government....even if it could be changed, nothing will improve.

Anniversaries

Anniversary.... comes from the word annual, which means yearly. It is usually associated with something we celebrate yearly, although some people tend to celebrate anniversaries monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, bla bla bla. There are many types of anniversaries... wedding anniversary, birthdays, company anniversary, relationship anniversary, and the list goes on...

Dates, there are many important ones in a person's life. Those which mean something special to themselves, sometimes could be painful, and sometimes its of someone special to them. Right now in my mind, I wanna imbue the 10th of December into the back of my mind... and erase the memories of this day many years ago.

I'm naturally an optimistic person, and I don't usually linger over sadness for extended periods of time... two days back, I came across some random guy's blog... http://forcezone.blogspot.com/

I stopped to wonder... have I been taking things too lightly? Am I supposed to still be greiving over the past? I went through pretty painful times, gone through the pain and greiving a few times... and I think there has to be a point where a guy snaps out of that crap. I've first seen Pak Lun go through it, then going through it myself... this self-destruction is something only the said person can pull himself out of. There are so many lost souls out there... because of love. At the same time, there is happiness and fulfillment which love brings. The take-home message to everyone reading out there... love with all your heart, don't hold back... when it ends, there's no turning back... but as long as there is nothing to regret about... move on with life, because whether you like it or not... life goes on. Sometimes we stare so intently at a door that just shut us out that we don't realize there are others staring at our door, waiting for it to be opened.

p/s: Love you Carl Lin!

Today is another day

I just woke up, woulda been rushing PBL again by now but Kok Chuan informed me last night that it was postponed to 8:30am on Friday.... sheesh.... now I've to waste my time going all the way to uni on Friday just to attend PBL.

CVS exams coming up next week, I sure hope I'll do fine... feels like there's a heck lot which isn't in my mind yet... ahh well. Guess I don't wanna think too much of it. CVS is really interesting, I like what I'm learning so far... just gotta make sure I don't feel too tired till I fall asleep during lectures.

Tuesday, January 04, 2005

Woohoo!!

Hard to believe it when I saw the result slip. I went 'whoa!!'.... I got A- for my summative 2 test... so happy!! ^_^

Ahh well, now that evens out the number of fails and passes at 3 each... I guess I can do better than that. Gotta work harder, can't slack off at this point.

Got so excited I felt pretty much awake during the lectures even though I was tired... or maybe that's due to the nap I took in the library.... whichever =P

Clinical visit.... boring

Well, here I am... in the IMU library computer lab typing this. Just back from the Nilai community clinic. I woke up at 6:50am cos I was being too lazy... and nobody bothered calling me up. Left house at 7 or so, but it was pretty jammed... so I took the alternative road. Drove pretty fast as I was supposed to reach there by 7:30, but it turned out Wei Shen was later then I was, hehe.

We left at close to 8, with Kok Chuan, Wan Noraida and Arathi in my car. The trip to Nilai was pretty dull... nothing much to sightsee. At 8:35 we signed in, and basically did nothing much... Marilyn and I went to the counter, searched for patient files. Then later interviewed one patient before it was tea time..... tea time?? I didn't know there was such thing... >.<''

We went to the mamak, ordered food and drinks... and stayed there to talk till it was 10:30... gosh, of the 3 hours of supposed clinical visit we actually spent one whole hour at the mamak. Guess there wasn't really much to do anyway and the medical assistant woulda been glad to shoo our asses off. =P

At 11:30 we left for IMU. Kok Chuan asked to drive so I agreed... its tiring driving anyway. And well.... here I am.

Gonna hit the notes now

Monday, January 03, 2005

What a bad start for the year!

Arghhhhhh today was really stressful and depressing... In my haste to Uni, I missed lunch... PBL went pretty okay.... and then had lunch with Evelyn, Jin-Yu and Baxter. Classes weren't good at all..... felt so tired I was asleep for most of the first two lectures... I really hate when that happens! Grrr.... well I forced myself to stay awake through the third one, about IHD and MI... mind was wandering from time to time.... absolutely no concentration at all. Things are just so damn depressing when I'm feeling so tired I can't get anything done.... anything but sleep.

And then there's this clinical visit to Nilai tomorrow... have to wake up at 6 or so. Wonder if there are any interesting cases to clerk tomorrow... or else I might end up copying Sunny's patient histories =P

Who do you look for? Intriguing question...... I look for what's remaining of myself, tomorrow will be a better day I'm sure of it.

Back to life... the lifeless kind

Gearing up to go to uni now, PBL's at 12:15...just thought I'd drop a few words in case I'm too tired when I come back home. Life is resuming back to normal.... no more partying, no more gaming, no more enjoyment.... just plain ole study study study. Well.... I'm stuck on this routine for the next 4 years.... damn I'm getting impatient. A lecturer once said, medicine is 99% sweat and 1% luck... man am I gonna need that luck!!

Gotta get moving... to whomever who's reading my posts, leave some comments. thanks ^_^

Last bit o' fun before classes resume

Just back from The Summit, went out with Carl Lin and her friends and cousin today. They were bowling when I arrived, so basically just watched them bowl. Ahh well, playing is much more fun than watching as with any other sport. We went to play pool after that, which wasn't too bad an experience for me. I could actually hit the balls... much better than my previous attempts at it, hehe....

After that we just walked around to the food court... seems the guys actually smelled their way to the food court... wooo, they must have keen senses..... yeah right. An then at 2:30 we got to the cinema and watched Meet The Fockers, it was really funny. Especially when the lil kid said his first word... Assshh Hoooole, which was the only word he said all along. =P

Enjoyed spending time with my darling, it was a nice outing. On my way home I got a lil lost... but eventually found my way home. I started feeling really tired... sorta dozed off a little, scary experience. I kept telling my mind, 'stay alert, reach home then sleep' but just kept having lotsa phasing outs. Oh well, here I am in one piece... posting yet another entry. I wonder who actually reads my blog anyway =P

So tired..... zzzzzzzzzz. Oh yeah and hungry too.....

Its a nice day to be alive ^_^

Happy New Year!

Hmmm, well.... what do I say.... went to Yew Weng's party last night bringing bro along. Basically most of the time there was spent trying to fix his computer, so we didn't really do much... at around 11pm I sent bro home, then went to cyber cafe with Chris, Sunny, Chee Leong, Lock, Cho, Leong and Yew Weng. As Chris said, its kinda sad though..... we spent new year's day not even counting down at a mamak store but playing warcraft in a cyber cafe instead. Sheesh.

We played till like 2:30am, and I was ready to go back, Chee Leong wanted to go mamak... among the 5 of us (Chris, Yew Weng, Sunny, Chee Leong and I) majority vote for mamak so we went to the one right across the old Apex building. There we mainly chatted about Medicine and studies and I can clearly remember Chee Leong saying "I'M BORED! Like this I wanna go back already". And hence we talked about Fatal Frame 2 instead, well I know nuts about it, so just listened lor. by 4:30 we checked the bill and went off... I sent Chris and Yew Weng off, and surprise surprise... Yew Weng's house gate and door was locked and he didn't have keys.... so he came over to my place to sleep, which he is doing right now at this moment. I'm starting to feel tired... well not really tired or sleepy, but rather groggy and drowsy... phasing in and out of blankness... I wonder if I'll be sleeping the whole day off.... what a way to spend New Year's day.....

Dear dear, I'm so sorry I didn't really get to chat with you or anything yesterday. Hope you're not upset with me yeah...

p/s: Happy New Year everybody!!
