open house buffet galore!

group pic at fabulous fatin's open house

well....we the malays celebrate raya like nobody business...we celebrate it for a month....since it was deepavali last monday many took the opportunity to do their open houses that weekend since many is on holiday...

and for me who had just finished exams i literally search for open houses...haha...well....i went to quite alot and there is also deepavali at a friends house, terrific tanez..haha...a must every year for her tairu coleslaw...yum2...

now i'm back in kuantan and starting gynaecology and obstetric...haha...with new found spirit...hope it burns throughout this posting....

n i just found out that my friends have really good memory when it comes to events that humiliate me...and some i dun even know they knew..damn..btw..i do have some stuff up my sleeves..haha

first bite of clinical exam....the taste u ask me?

kinda bitter....especially when its internal medicine and the fact that its my first posting....i need time to adapt to change....i am definitely not a chameleon where u can just dump me in one unfamiliar situation n i will come out of it triumphant...

i really need time and in the clinical years u realize that u dun really have much of it to be as normal as before....to allocate time for study..chit chat with frens...surf the net...appreciate entertainment(tv series, movies, music)...n cooking too. ..it all looks impossible to me....before, i can do my exercise workouts be it cardio or weight lifting everyday but now only weekends? that itself doesnt convince me

i need sumthing to knock my head to keep me uplifted all the time...n the current exam really hit me especially on how i did my short case...missing important findings and interpreting the findings in the most unorganized way i can imagine...well now i kinda know how clinical years is like and how i'm supposed to delegate time for study but time for myself? i guess i need to spread all my activities separately for the days of the week....it will not be as fun but as hiro nakamura says 'some sacifices have to be made to save the world'..lol...i'm not gonna save the world but my future work is kinda like a hero's work...i shud prep myself.

cimee : daddy i'm gonna start OnG next block.
DAD : good, here is a book u can read, and this one, this is also a good one...wait there's another one..there u go
cimee : woah, i think i'm good
DAD : nah, read these before u start ur posting
cimee : but it starts next tuesday
DAD : then u better get started rite?

yaaaa riteeeeeee! haha


pic: i miss those semangat times..lol

ponder this!

Viva La Vida- Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

p/s didn't expect the lyric to be like this until pointed out by a friend piran. thanx

my celebrity look-a-like...lol

can u see the resemblance?...i know...i was shocked too but i so can see it now...lol

Was it a celebration or ...?

medical contigent-my good boy look..lol

Yesterday was the 2nd 'Celebrating student's academic excellence' i'm invited too and hell it was just such a waste of time to spend 8 hours in the bus to and fro from kuantan to KL.

the food was cold when dinner starts and the only gift we got was a pen and a miserable piece of cake....nvm...syukur2..fuh2...haha

btw, i guess there is always a silver lining to everything...i got to meet my second cousin that recognizes me from afar but i did not until he is really close..haha...i'm very bad at remembering faces....good enough reason to forget ur cousin? haha....nvm...keep it to urself dear

plus i stole one of their banners to decorate my room...the 8hours in bus is now justified..haha....

Chocolates anyone?

'My momma always say life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get'...i guess Bro Absolutely Rocks i met today in ward picked up the coconut crusted one (yuck!).

To have seen him 1 month ago and to only be diagnosed with community acquired pneumonia following a subacute fever and only to come back yesterday with full fledge signs and symptoms of acute leukemia makes me wonder about the effectiveness of the current medical service. This is not the first. Previously Sister Ultra Funky whom i met 2 months ago was diagnosed with haemophagocytic syndrome after a BMAT and to come back 2 weeks later with acute leukemia and pass away 2 days later in ICU...and she had BMAT?

I'm just a student, not that great but stuff likes this seems to be happening alot..and they, not even reaching their 20s and hearing their ambitious dreams and only then to have them being diagnosed with those diseases makes me ponder...is it fair? certainly not by the look of it but who are we to judge the decisions made up there but are we so hopeless we cannot do anything about it?...no i dont think so....if it is meant to be detected early then it must, by any way possible... i'm given this opportunity to serve the community and so i will try not to take it for granted and be more optimistic....how i pray he is to survive this she to have survived..their passion in what they wanted to do is so great i feel like its wasted...I guess that's just how life is i guess..a box of chocolates

first day back at reality?

damn...i dun think i'm ready for this....i'm supposed to have a week of hols yet i had a week of fever instead...everyone is back with new found spirit to continue studying and here i am still in holiday spirit...

i've been sleeping for 12 hours yet i feel so sleepy...there is just this feeling of discomfort in me......i need to detoxify my body real fast....a month of no exercise and bad eating habit finally took its toll on me..not that ramadhan is bad but i guess i approach it badly...i'm heading to taman gelora very soon to really sweat off...bought lime and lemon to make good lemonades plus my collection of green teas n my new study table is here to prepare myself for upcoming exam. wat else to do?

went to bodyshop to buy my TT mask but its out of stock...the seaweed mask is just too expensive...hmm...well...some other time....tireddddddd...l8ter

Raya hols

Hari raya holiday this year was a disaster....the moment i reach home on friday i've got the feeling i'm gonna be sick...my whole body was aching after the long journey drive(3 hours...long enough for me) from kuantan....told my dad i need meds for upcoming fever n since then i was on bed in my room sleeping with high fever + runny nose + productive cough and a throbbing headache...for a moment MSS struck me..was thinking of all sort of fatal diseases but soon believe its just a simple URTI....all my books still in its neatly packed bag...at least i have a reason not to open them now...not gonna feel that guilty if ppl ask whether i manage to study during raya hols or not...haha...its already 5 days...celebrated raya yesterday at Ampang and then at Raub....still feverish but i can still manage....the house looks great thanks to the creative mind of yours truly..haha...except for the curtains in the lounge....thats mom's..haha....now its the 2nd raya n everyone is busy preparing for tomorrow's family gathering...i have a reason to not participate...hahahhaha...going back to kuantan on saturday i think...still waiting for aman to call n confirm....dun wanna drive back up alone n i hope this fever will dissappear by then....hope every1 had a splendid raya!
