My Gist of CNY

Okay, this is the obligatory-how-I-spent-my-cny-hols-post. Brace yourself, ppl. Oops, I'm too drama-queenish for my own good, lol.

Well, for starters, my pledge to at least finish one week's worth of respi notes didn't work out (I didn't study tat week at all coz was too busy doing backdrop stuff, aik!) so I'm so gonna die this coming assessment coz I'm still going to be as busy as hell the next two weeks!

*mutters darkly: yeah, no thks to you, backdrop. yeah, it still isn't finished, sigh*

Hmm. Okay, what are the main activities that I did for CNY?

Lemme see. Eat + sleep + online + talk crap + eat + sleep + online + talk... oh wait, didn't I mention those just now? Erm yeah, that's basically what I did for cny. *arggh*

Isn't it a good waste of time, esp in consideration that this hols can be considered the last real hols for the m106 batch before we sit for the nightmares-inducing EOS3? sob sob.

Erm well since this is the real last hols before that scary exam, might as well spend it like a real holiday, right? hehe. *pats back to console self while others roll eyes, thinking: ar, excuses -_-"*

lol. My drama-writing skills are in high gear now apparently. bleh.

As usual, since the blogger is me, I shall focus on the eating part. And don't forget, malaysians' fav national past time is eating and I'm just being malaysian! hoho.

Hmm. This cny I went to a bbq (lurve the spaghetti! I know better way of making it liao), went to a steamboat.. and both I ate until very full~! *slimming plan flies out of the window, aih* Mum also made some of my fav dishes.. yummy~ Okay, fine, I shall not contivue raving like a half-starved fool here, but just tat one of the most enjoyable things in penang is definitely FOOD! ^o^

Abt the sleeping part, just let me say, dunno why, whenever I'm back in the comforts of my queen-sized bed (miss it so much!), I sleep A LOT! Really being a pig in this year of the Pig lo! Keke. Well, I must say, I need my beauty sleep~! *flicks hand*

Erm, online part no need elaborate ade lah okie. Now to talk crap part.. well, I normally don't talk a lot of crap to my parents, since they are the no-nonsense type to us. Sad, I know but what to do. Next time I'll try to be more jolly with my children! haha.

Oops, digressed. I talk crap to my siblings and to my frenz lo.. Met up with a high sch fren last last wednesday in Queensbay Mall. Whoa, the place is nice! Can rival some of KL's shopping malls eh. However, I think we spent a lot of talking crap than even window shopping. lol. Anyway, it was definitely nice catching up with ya! So long didn't see ade. Pity the rest of the gang couldn't come too, coz they're working. Aih.. Tmr will be going to meet 2 good frenz of mine. Probably will be having lunch together, talk crap for sometime lo. Really miss my frenz eh!!

I guess that's the general scheme of things. Not very worth-while to blog abt it in detail. If you ask my honest opinion, this year's cny is nothing special to shout about. Actually, I don't really feel any real festive mood stirring in me this year. And the lack of magnificent fireworks is a sad thing too. *sigh* I love seeing fireworks (yesh, I know they pollute the environment) but they are just so beautiful, aren't they?

Okay, I'm done with the gist of it. I hope next year's cny can be more special and exciting. Coz it's probably gonna be my last one b4 I go overseas. Right, nitey nitez, peeps!

House M.D. Medical Reviews

This is just a sweet and short post to share smtg interesting with you medical drama freaks out there... I'll blog abt my cny celebrations in a later post okay (well if you guys want to know lah) but then I don't care. This is my blog, I write what I want. :P

Anyway, this site is recommended by k0k in his blog and now I'm passing around the recommendation. Those who are a fan of the medical series House M.D. and who want to read some good reviews abt the series will be able to do so at this site.

The blogger, Dr.Scott is a medical doctor in his own right, and therefore will be able to pick out any gross inaccuracies in the series, point out if the medicine used is the prefered choice, and how logical or believable is it tat the beloved/hated Dr. House came to his clinical diagnosis in each episode etc.

On a sidenote, just wanna say I lurve watching House M.D. as it gives me more motivation to learn new stuff. And I rmb how excited me and my frenz used to get when we cud understand some of the medical jargon that is spouted by the team... and how sometimes we go and check out what we dunno. hehe. What can I say, medical students. -_-"

Some ppl say Grey's Anatomy (not the book Gray's Anatomy okay), the medical series is nice, some say nope. But from what I gathered, this series focus less on the clinical medicine side compared to House M.D. and more on, erm... "interpersonal relationships" between the medical staff (and sometimes patients too). Hehe.

Maybe I'll give it a try sometime. Watched half an episode on telly once and it was just plain confusing for me. Maybe that was becoz I was multi-tasking tho. Was doing backdrop stuff and watching telly. And I tell ya, it's more important to focus on not cutting off your fingers accidentally than watching telly. lol.

Oops, I digressed. Anyway, better keep to my promise of this being a short post. Blek. Okay, just go check out this site if you are a fan of House M.D. okay. Tataz~!

How To Maintain Your Comp

Edited: This post is just to make things simpler for some of my frenz (you know who you're, hehe) who have trouble in maintaining their comps in tip-top condition. But I won't act like I know very well on this topic, but I'll just share whatever I know with you guys okay. Comments are very welcomed! =)

Well, for starters, I'm sure that everyone of you net-surfers out there know that a good anti-virus program is essential to protecting your comp from all the big bad guys just waiting to pounce while you're happily surfing the net away. But how many are you know have already installed a reliable one on your comp AND regularly updates it AND regularly run checks for your comp?

No fear. I'm here to recommend a good anti-virus program for you after repeated unpleasant experiences with combating viruses. After reading some reviews and using it for some time, I recommend using AVG Anti-Virus. Click here to download it for free.

Alternative: Avast! Anti-Virus is not a bad second choice. ("Avast" sounds a bit like "Awas!" in malay doesn't it? lol.) Click here for the download. The alarm sounded when it meets a virus can be a bit alarming tho, esp if you'd your speakers turn on to the max. haha.

[but pls dont and try be a smart-ass and think that "hey, if one anti-virus program is good for my comp, why not install both?" and try to install BOTH anti-virus programs on the same comp okay. sometimes, less is more. you're just asking for trouble as it is only an accident waiting to happen. the comp will definitely crash in the near future due to conflict btw both programs. besides, it takes up a lot unnecessary disc space too...]

The next program that is also an essential is a program that can be used to combat all the ad-ware and spyware floating around cyberspace. You don't want other strangers to be privy to what you're doing with your comp, don't you? *winks* We have the right to privacy and security. Besides, after sometime, it can slow down your comp significantly too. After reviews and personal use, I recommend using AdAware SE Personal Edition. Click here to download for free.

Alternative: Spybot Search & Destroy is not a bad choice too. Recommendation by k0k. Click here for the download.

The third program that I wanna recommend is not an essential one but I find it extremely useful for lazy ppl like me that hate comps that lag. It is called CCleaner. It's main aim is to clean your comp of unnecessary files (eg. temporary internet files, cookies, history etc) so that you've extra disc space and the comp can run smoothly. With this program, there's no such need to clear each type of file individually. I doubt if I know where to clear some of them manually too. haha.

Click here to download it, yet again for free. I'm only recommending those which are freeware. Cheers for freeware! That's why I don't mind doing this review for them. ^o^

Oh ya, this is not to recommend a program but to remind you of smtg that is important to do regularly. It is important to defragment your comp monthly, if not weekly, so that your comp can compress certain files to make space for others. This also keeps your comp running smoothly.

Dunno where to do it? Go to: My Comp> Local disc C> right click- Properties> Tools> Defragment Now. Easy to understand, right? Hehe.

Last but not least, a very important tip. You must always remember to run regular (and by regular I don't mean yearly okay -_-") updates for the programs and checks on your comp. Or else there is no use whatsoever in downloading these new programs anyway. Get my point, ppl?

I get a lot of my info from www.download.com so you can always go there and check out new stuff! It's a pretty cool site to get downloads (hence the name)!

Okay lah. That's all for now, folks. I shall share new programs with you guys when I find out about them, okie? Hope that this post have been of use to you guys. =) Ciaoz~

Another "Weird" Tag

Alamak, CNY also got homework by eve tai jie. lol.

Well, I don't have much to do anyway. Feel like studying? No way! Not so much visiting ppl "拜年" too this year. *sigh* That means less angpows. -_-

Anyway, here's the tag/game. It goes like this...

"Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog."

6 weird (or funny?) things about moi:

  1. I absolutely hate wet toilet floors. Can't help those public ones *thinks of those in rest areas along the highway and shivers involuntarily* but I rather dislike wet floors in home toilets. It makes me feel geli~! Aikz. That's why sometimes I rather wait to use my own one. (yeah sue me, but that's just my choice okay)

  2. I've a tendency to turn to comfort foods when I'm upset or depressed or stressed (insert other -ve emotions). So ppl, those who want me to keep slim for my health/beauty reasons, pls cheer me up every moment of the day! Hehe.. :P

  3. I can take up to 6 baths a day (if I'm feeling crazy enuf lah that day -_-"). Coz I feel dirty [literally meaning pls] most of time when I come back from somewhere. Aikz. Must cut down, or water bill will increase just becoz of that, lol.

  4. If I love a dish or certain type of food, I can eat it almost everyday and won't get sick of it. Serious. I've tried it before! lol.

  5. When I'm exposed to smtg that I'm allergic to (which I still haven't managed to discover what it is), my lips turn red and swollen and looked like I've kissed a bee's ass or smtg. -_- Yesh, it can be really gross-looking, so beware! Haha.

  6. Erm, I can't think of anything more significant so it's down to this. I get upset over the smallest, most unsignificant things. Ppl who know me well can attest to this. And if I'm in that freaky mood, I try to inflict my mood on others too. Yeah, that's not very nice, so I'm trying to curb this bad habit. hehe.

Now, for the 6 victims ppl I tag. Muahaha~

  1. Pui Fun
  2. Michelle G
  3. Yee Pei
  4. Mike
  5. Valene
  6. Crz (I wonder how many will actually read and do this, haha)

:: My First Valentine's Day ::

Today, I'm gonna blog abt none other than the celebrations for Valentine's Day!! ^o^ Honestly, this is my first time really celebrating Valentine's Day for real (eh, last time celebrate on my own meh -_-"") and I'm really happy.

Thanks to my dear dear who did so much for me!! =) Smtg special happened that day, just before class. I was rushing to class, as usual, when I was stopped in my tracks outside the corridor, coz I saw that my dear had bought a bouquet of flowers for me!! And he presented me with it in the lecture hall, with everyone watching (!!) and they were clapping and shouting loudly (omg)!

[yes, I cud hear some ppl shouting "kiss kiss", lucky the lecturer was almost gonna start, phew~]

Just wondering, why did they clapped and shouted like that? Was it really that different from what the others did? I wonder. Hmm. Anyway, for once, in my life, I felt really embarassingly happy.. and I think I managed to blush at least a bit. lol.

Anyway, now thinking back, I still can't believe that that happened. Hehe. I'm still so happy~ *grins stupidly* Well, it certainly is a wonderful memory. haha. Okay, must continue the story.

After class, we went home and prepared a bit before setting out again. We headed towards Midvalley and had dinner at Nando's. Yes, I know what you're thinking but at first my dear wanted to take me somewhere more romantic but cudnt due to certain circumstances. *sigh* Anyhow, I was really stuffed after dinner (the many-coursed meal was delicious!) so we had to forego the plan to go Haagen Daaz and try the Chocolate Fondue. Nvm, we'll go again some other time! *licks lips*

After that, we went to watch the movie Babel. And yes again, I know what you're thinking. We totally shld have gone to see a more romantic movie, right? A documentary ain't right for a Valentine's Day movie... lol. Felt tired out mentally halfway thru the movie, haha. But we didn't even know what the story was about, so can't blame us ya. And yes, that is definitely really memorable. Funny whut, right? :P (besides, there are quite a few naughty scenes in the movie too!) Hehe.

We'd have like to spend more time out, unfortunately, I've CSU the next day early in the morning, and I haven't read up on it too! Aikz. Fell asleep before I've managed to go to the next page... lol.

So that's it for my 1st Valentine's Day. It was certainly a memorable and special one. ^v^ I loved it! Thanks very much, dear dear! Hope you enjoyed yourself that day!


PS:
Ah.. did a good deed yesterday. Found a pendrive in the e-lab while using the comp. Returned it to Lost & Found. Hope the person finds his pendrive back oh. (btw, it's kinda mafan to do a good deed too, hvta fill in a form while the person seems to be irritated when I had to knock on the door umpteen times to pass it to her, aikz)

PPS: Oh ya, dear, hope you like the prezzie I gave you! I think the shirt looks great on you, especially with the cool cuff links! Hehe.

PPPS: Right, Thanks to my friends who gave out chocs in celebrations of V-Day. [paiseh, I didn't prepare anything coz sorry lah, jakun me doesn't know of such norms, haha]

PPPPS: Pics of the flowers and prezzie will be up soon when I get them from my dear! (hope I rmb, lol)

PPPPPS: (god, this must the most PS's that i've ever written) Anyway, just wanna wish all my readers a Happy Chinese New Year! May you have all the blessings showered upon you this coming new year! ^o^

Some Things Abt The Backdrop

Okay, I'm back in KL once again. Actually was back since thursday. But had been too busy and tired out to even think of blogging.

Yeah, I'm not totally recovered from my sickness (but definitely better than a few days ago) and then I've been spending A LOT of time doing the backdrop... I really hope tat we can finish at least 80% of the work before we start class next monday. Coz next week is gonna be really packed. And yes, of coz, I can't afford to slack off for my studies. Coz as you know, apparently the effort I put in for the cvs exam still wasn't yet enough.

But then if I think in a positive way. If I had studied for tat paper in my usual lazy way, I'm pretty sure I'd fail. Yeah. So there you go. Everything in a nutshell.

Anyway, enough abt tat. It's over and done with. -_-

Hmm. Progress over the backdrop is coming a bit slow. Coz at times, we're doing more "arguing" over the best way to do things than really actually doing things. *sigh* We are running out of time so we better buck up oh!

Well, some of the stuff in the backdrop is not coming out as well I want (sorry lah, my horoscope does say I AM a perfectionist sometimes) but I guess sometimes just gotta let minor things go!! Besides, after doing for so long, it does get a bit frustrating and boring sometimes. :T Must try to find back that spark of motivation tat made us produce such pretty artworks all these weeks!

Btw, other ppl have been studying their asses off, preparing for the scary EOS3. [yes yes don't deny it, I saw you ppl...] And what had we been doing all these free time we had? Drawing, cutting and pasting. Yeah. Suddenly feel like studying eh. lol. Sorry lo, sometimes being kiasu gives me motivation to study. Doesn't it, guys?

I guess tat since we volunteered for this job, we must see it thru to the end. We must make it the best backdrop since whenever! Yup! (and finish it as soon as possible, hehe)

Okla, gotta go liao. Will go cook lunch, coz getting hungry. Tata~

Home Update

As I sit down in front of the screen, my hands are all ready to type smtg out, but my mind is just an empty white canvas. Blank.

What shld I blog abt then? Abt how I wasted both days here sneezing my head off, coughing my lungs out...? Only feeling slightly better when I distracted myself by watching movies and reading magazines... (power of distraction eh)

Anyway, will be going back to KL tmr morning. Aih, I haven't enjoyed myself enough eh. But I'm glad that I came back, even though it's like a super short mini hols. I really needed the time to rejuvenate! Had been really tired and run down before this. Maybe that was what caused me to become sick. All the late nights up plus the stress that comes with planning and everything.

Oh ya. To M106 peeps, our respi timetable and sem3 groupings are out at the section of "downloads and links (Medic)" at imucampus forum. Go check it out! And yes, you need to register to download the stuff.

Okay, no mood to blog liao. The mood just went *puff* when I saw the timetable and groupings. Sigh. Will blog more some other time.

Ciao peeps~

Back To Homebase

Am currently in my homebase - penang island! =) Just tot that I'd come back for a few days to heal. Spritually, mentally or physically, whatever.

I dunno abt the first two, but I'm definitely sick physically ade! Came down with a sudden onset of cough, sorethroat, migraine and a mild headache. Really sickening (pun!).. Self-medicated with 2 panadols, and am currently feeling fine enuf to write this post.

Hmm. This is gonna be a super short hols in penang. Will be following Beh back on thurday. Bad thing is I can't really enjoy all the good food that I miss.. (coz sick ma) *stomach rumbles*

Anyway, progress on backdrop is going good. Big thanks to those who came to help now and then. Really appreciate it, since we're short of manpower too. ^o^

Oh ya, must record this down! I managed to draw out the main outline for the 4th character! Which is quite hard too. I can't believe that I cud do it. I alwix tot that I sucked at drawing... I guess if you believe in yourself and try your best, there's nothing that you can't do!

Yeap. Gambate to us for the backdrop! We still have a long way to go, but we can do it! (I hope ppl will like the backdrop oh..) Yayz~

Okla, shld sleep early to rest my tired and sick body liao.. Tataz peeps! *home sweet home*

PS: Recently, my posts don't seem to be that interesting anymore these few days. Dunno why. I guess nothing really interesting to write about, except for rants. Haha. And I know I seemed to be owing a few posts abt certain trips. Procastinating again, are we? Maybe I'll write abt those events when I have the mood lah..

A Tiring Day

Whoa. Boy am I tired. Been out almost the whole day doing the backdrop.

(yeah, it's abt the backdrop again, what can I say. It's about the only thing I'm working on currently. Shyt, shld study abit, been really lazy! *sigh*)

Anyway, I'm currently suffering from the afflictment called backache. Painful! Been arching over the masterpiece drawing all day, doing cutting, tracing and pasting. Can't believe I spend the whole freaking day just to finish up the hair for one particular character! [I'm not revealing much, am I? haha.] I think we put a tad too much detail for that hair. But nvm lah. It looks nice anyway. =) Satisfied.

*potters around, preparing to go to bed*

Was filling my water bottle when I found out that my eletric kettle was burnt!! Aikz. Must be my hsemates forgot to refill the water eh. Damn scary the smell of burnt metal.. I was pretty scared that the electric kettle was spoiled or what. Not cheap, you know. Lucky it was still functioning, well I hope. *gulps*

But it's definitely not in such perfect condition anymore. The first time I washed it, there were these weird globules of metal, I think floating in the water. Yee... Scary, right? Anyway, will remind them tmr on how important it is to make sure there's always some water in the kettle. Yeap.

(Update: Yeah, I just checked, it's definitely spoiled ade.. Now the water doesn't reboil by itself ade. And my fren told me that it's better to not use it anymore coz the water in there cud be contaminated with the metal. The water does look suspiciously murky too. Sigh. How am I going to talk to my hsemates abt this? Who's gonna pay for this? *arggh*)

Okay, shld sleep now. It's damn late now. Tmr will be another cutting, tracing and pasting day. Blek. Nitey night peeps!

PS: A lonely night. And yeah, it was a misunderstanding from the start. I'm sorry for what I've said but I just wanna be honest. That's all. But thank you for trying your best to clear things up. I love you for that. ^v^

Rotations vs Backdrop

Okay, yet again I'm back, guys. Such few updates lately... I really have been lazy, right? Nope!

Actually to the contrary. I'm so busy till I'm kinda lack of sleep. *points to dark circles under eyes*

Besides going for classes in rotations, I've been up almost every night working on the Variety Night Backdrop. Yeah, and my nights up normally stretched till morning one smtg. Quite crazy, ain't it? To think that I'm supposed to relax for my rotations too! *sigh*

Anway, I'm quite happy to report that I'm very happy and satisfied with the work that we've managed to do up till now. The drawings and end product are what I've visualised them to be.. It's like watching a vision take a concrete form. And nah, I won't post any pics of them up here till variety night is over. Hehe. Element of surprise and suspense must be there, right? Well, you can alwix come over and help and thus take a peek at the work in progress.. haha. You know who to call. :P

Okay, enuf blabbering abt the backdrop. I foresee future rambling abt that anyway. -_-

Oh ya, just wanna say: Rotations are OVER and holidays are HERE! Yayz~! Yeah, the hols are like only 1 week and I'm gonna spend the most of that doing the backdrop but it's still hols, right? Yay yay.

Another good news. I've finally gotten my own internet at my place in vista! Super happy lah..! It's Maxis broadband and the price is quite reasonable. Now I can blog more frequently ade! (you all also won't complain that I update so less lo okay, hehe)

Arrgh, my eyelids are drooping ade and I need to take a nap liao. Damn sleepy.

Oh, one last thing before I go.

To M106 peeps, CVS results are out so check your email and/or netmail.

There was a rumour abt a 50% failure rate but I dunno how true is that. Yes, the paper was that hard. Anyway, I'm glad that I passed. =) It isn't exactly the best, so there's room for improvement lo. Hey, must rmb to be grateful and contented too.

But anyhow, I really did tried hard for this paper. But next time need to be more focused lo. Yeah. Gambate to myself!

Okay, will go sleep now. Can't tahan anymore... *dozes off*

Surviving KKB

Hullo... miss me ma, peeps? =P After an absence of more then 10 days? hehe.

Don't worry, I haven't abandoned my blog yet. My MIA-ing for sucha long time was due to the fact that I was thrown into the little town of Kuala Kubu Baru (KKB) for almost 6 loooong days!! *gasp*

But I'm so glad that I survived in the end. Omg, it was really such a different experience.. It made me wake up from the reality that I live in now. That someone somewhere is not as lucky as me to live in such a comfortable environment, however, they're already contented.

Hey, the place doesn't even have a kfc outlet, you know. And there's like only one 7-eleven in the vinicity. Seriously, the place is ulu eh!! :O

Anyway, I don't really like the living quarters. It was kinda dirty, stuffy and really HOT!! Most nights I will wake up in sweat. No kidding. But other than a few minor discomforts, I declare that the kkb trip was super educational~!

I really learnt a lot during this trip. I also got more courage to clerk patients and do physical examination on real patients... esp cvs examination on female patients okay.. =) Anyway, dr.lim was superb in teaching us and we learnt lots of knowledge from her. She's really good! Geng! *salute*

3 cases I got so far (we had to clerk a patient everyday and after that, there was bedside teaching):- dengue fever [danger! outbreak now eh.. o.O] + gastritis, migraine, peptic ulcer + suspected MI complete with ectopic ventricular beat. The last patient's case was cool, I got to feel an abnormal irregular pulse. We also got to try to interpret the ECG during class. Not bad! This inspires me to study more... ^o^

Well, I guess I cud rate the trip as okay but it'd have been wayyy cooler if my gang of friends were all in the same group. But I guess you can't ask for everything in life. *shrug*

I guess that's all for now. Just been spending most of my free time these days working on the backdrop for next orientation's variety night. Super big job~!! Sometimes I get so stressed up over it. Need to relax more. And there are only like 3 ppl working everytime at the most. *sigh*

Community msg: Pls!! I need help for the backdrop! Pls sms me for the details. Thanks very much, you help is much appreciated. Btw, we're doing most of the work at Kee Ping/Eugene's house. Yeap.

Okay, that's all for now. Tataz~

A Lesson Learnt

Okay, second post of the day, that shows you how bored I am. But technically, this is my 1st post today coz my last (emo) post was done b4 I went to bed.

Oh ya, thanks very much to everyone who adviced me/listen to me whine on that matter, you guys really helped a lot. I've felt a lot better since. =) You guys are the best~! *poses with victory sign*

And I've also learnt a valuable lesson from this. Don't ever again assume/think that someone you think is nice and all that in daily life is really THAT nice after you get to know him/her. Yeah.

Ah, once again to the topic of choosing frenz. It's still a skill I've yet to acquire or master. Nvm, I'll train more. lol. Yeap!

This is a phrase by Eve, which I think is very meaningful.

Sometimes, we gotta admit that we're mere humans without supernatural powers to be that good person all the time. But at least we try.

Since I've tried my best to salvage what is left but it's apparently not appreciated by her, thus I rest my case. No guilty conscience ya, girl~!

On smtg unrelated, I'm glad that I've done my good deed of the day. Yet again, I've assumed the role of good listener to a fren, who's been having some problems recently. Can't believe that we talked for more than 3 hours straight. But his problem is really complicated. Even I don't really know what is the best solution. Aikz.

Dunno lah. Just hope that I've managed to help, that's all. *sigh* Well, gotta go liao. Dinner time! ^o^

What Do Humans Hide Beneath That Mask

Warning: Emo post ahead. What can I say? It's that time of the night.

Aih. I don't even know where to pour my frustrations into. (had tried playing ps2 just now, apparently relief is only temporary. Blogging is still the best way, I guess.)

Yeah, this is a continuation of the events from that incident. I've tried my very best to justify my actions to her, [and yes, I still feel that I'm not in the wrong] but somehow, although her mouth says okay, her face says it isn't.

And I think that the reasonable suggestion that we shld bring issues out into the open and talk abt it doesn't seem to be well-received by her. The way she gestured meant that she doesn't like conflict (so do I, okay) but smsing unfair rude accusations is nothing short of conflict, if you ask me. -_-"

When asked to justify the rude words in the sms, all she can say is that she "didn't mean it". Right... And pigs can fly. Tell me another one. You don't sms rude harsh accusations and just get off with a "but I didn't mean it", excuse me. Besides, her face totally looked like she meant it, thank you very much.

And now she's ordering me around some tasks. As I said I'm very tolerant, so I relented in the end. But somehow this doesn't seem right coz by right, I'm supposed to be in charge. [can't elaborate more coz it'll be too specific ade, gotta keep it vague ya!] But nvm lah. I'll just let it be for now. But if it gets out of hand, sorry lah, I won't let you step on my head okay.

I dunno why. But I feel CHEATED. That once again, someone that I treated like a friend didn't feel the same way. It had happened many times already, and yes, I'm kinda getting sick of it. Really, maybe I gotta stop being naive. Thinking that if I treat ppl around me well, they'll respond the same way. NO!

I'm feeling kinda lost now. Coz this kinda affects my principles in life. As in how shld I treat ppl in the future etc.

I know I shldn't expect anything in return (and I didn't) when one does smtg good, but at least I don't deserve to be scolded, right? *floats around like an ill-used angel* Yeah, just trying to be sarcastically funny. -_-"

Well, just some wandering thoughts in my mind now.

  • Are ppl always not the way they seemed to be (read: not as nice as they seemed at first) especially when you get to know them better? I'm so afraid of this.

  • How do we judge ppl whether they're worthy of being nice to? (just so they won't backstab you later or smtg)

  • Why do such ppl even exist in the first place? What for? *arrgh*

  • Oh ya, I must remind myself. Do not judge ppl's character by looks and the superficial things they do in daily life. I was wrong after all.

Okay, it's quite late now and I'm tired after all that drama. Gonna stop here. Right, I'm off to cry myself to bed, NOT. She doesn't deserve that.

*hardens heart and tries to collect all positive thoughts*

Artworks Using Photoshop (Part I)

This are some of the artworks that I've been working on (using photoshop) due to too much time on my hands. I use them for my comp's wallpapers. [yeap, you can save it if you want!] Nice leh? Enjoy~!

Reflection for the Girl in Pink

Dreams give you wings.

What is the theory behind Death?



The Phoenix will spread her wings and soar again.


Believe in the power within each of you.



The couple separated by distant lands.


Fate is like a crossroads. You have a choice.


The Heart is bleeding in Sorrow.

Hope you guys enjoy these pics. Any comments or constructive criticism pls?

Well, just tot that I'd add some colour to my long-pictureless blog. Haha. I'll post more when I waste more time indulging myself in this new hobby of mine. lol. Ciaoz peeps~!

Hidden Behind A Mask

I'm in shock.

(real emotional shock, not anaphylatic shock or anything -_-")

Just found out that m.o.n.e.y. really can reveal someone's true nature. I'm kinda taken aback by the turn of events that lead me to this revealation. (call me naive if you want, but I prefer to give ppl the benefit of doubt.) I'm not gonna blog abt this whole thing here and I sincerely do hope it's just a misunderstanding.

Was really angry at that time but have since calmed down. Time to think of the best rational way to act. It's better to tackle the problem rationally instead of emotionally, right? [that's what we're taught in BS anyway, ha.]

But anyhow, I still do not think it's nice to accuse someone of being "selfish" just becoz of some small thing which she cud have talked to me abt face-to-face. And the thing is, she wasn't really clear abt some issues either. So calling ppl names [thru an sms summore] without being clear abt things is just plain nonsense. Seriously, I think that's being rather unfair to me, when I'm trying my best to not retort rudely. Bah. [In case you're wondering, I still prevailed in the end, did not say anything rude, so there!]

Sometimes the world is so ironic. You do things willingly for others, they don't appreciate it. Fine, nvm. But do one wrong thing (and in this case, I did nothing okay), and they're totally over you, ready to go for the kill.

I seriously hate that sort of feeling or incident, but why does it keep reoccuring? Is it becoz I'm too willing to help others without asking for repayment? Do I bring it upon myself? I really dunno.

I'm quite a tolerant & sensible person, but I do have my limits.

Don't think you can step over my head pls. I can defend myself when the need arises. Especially if I think I'm in the right.

Pls don't put words in my mouth too. And I'm an honourable person, I will definitely do what I've already promised.

Seriously, it's just plain freaking scary how fast someone's smiling face can turn into a totally different one. *shivers* Summore it's someone that you tot you knew well enuf for a few years ade. But I guess that trying to judge ppl's character will always remain one of the hardest things to do.

My my, suddenly, the world feels bleak.

Equivalent trade huh? (from F.Metal Alchemist) There is no such thing as equivalent trade, I guess.

Sometimes you give, sometimes you lose. That is how the world is.

Nah. Show you this pic just to reiterate the point that humans normally hide behind a mask. And reveal their inner evil in certain circumstances. Yeah.

Nice onot? After I edited it using Photoshop. [doing a lot of that recently, coz too bored ade...] It's pretty cool for a desktop background too. =) You can save it if you want.

Bored Ramble

Wow, things sure are moving slow when we all are having rotations. I think I got a bit too used to the fast-moving life when there were real classes. (but I don't think I miss the stress that comes with it tho)

But life sure feels strangely empty nowadays. I know I shld be doing smtg remotely useful with my time but I just don't feel like it. [pls don't tell me you want me to study lo!! NO~!]

I feel obscenely bored these days. -_- My frenz all are in different groups for rotations too, sad.

And still I wanna procastinate about the E3 camp post. Heck, I don't feel like doing anything besides blog nonsense and watch anime. Arggh, I think my brain is gonna atropy soon from lack of function. lol.

Help ppl, I'm SO freaking bored!!

Whatever. It's back to more anime. (I think my brain is gonna burst from overwatching of anime. Ha.)

I really shld do smtg useful soon, aih... :T

Trying To Rid Myself of Boredom

Okay, I'm just killing time between classes by going online in the comp lab here. We're now having rotations for 5 weeks, so it's like almost "real" hols for us. I say "almost" okay, coz we still have classes now and then.

But heck, at least we get to really REST and RELAX for once. *phew*

Anyway, I just started my 1st class for rotations today, it was lab. Well, kinda boring if you ask my honest opinion. Notwithstanding the fact that I woke up late (really thks to Liyann for waking me up on time, terima kasih banyak banyak! ^o^) and was feeling damn sleepy when the class just started.

Oh ya, just found out that we can play Sleuth here in the comp lab, hehe. But smtg wrong with the game server, it's super slow. Aikz.

Okla, I think I shld sign off now. Just feeling too bored that's all. I'll update more abt stuff that just happened when I'm feeling more like it lah. Tataz, ppl~!


PS:
Hey, I was thinking of selling off some of my medical textbooks, namely - my Papa Dorlands (coz it's too damn huge for lil me
), my Mims Microbiology and yeah, my Marieb (coz I'm using Tortora ade)~! Pls help me ask around if anyone wants to buy it ya! Tenkiu tenkiu!! =)

Just An Update

I'm back, guys! Well, there are many many things to blog about now so I shall go thru them one by one. Pls bear with me for this what-I-assumed-to-be-a-long-winded post.

Tell them what you're gonna tell them, tell them, and tell them what you've told them.

I shall blog about the new year countdown, my *arggh* cvs exam and of coz, the cool E3 camp!! (that's a lot, so I might split it into different posts okay)

Here goes:

Hmm. For starters, our last-minute plan to eat buffet steamboat as the last meal of 2006 didn't work out, coz they didn't book and the place was so freaking full! *Sigh* We shall leave it for this year then. hehe.

In the end, we went to Sushi King in Sunway Pyramid for dinner. It wasn't bad, but not new to me. (hey, penang does have that jap food outlet okay!) But was kinda full after that tho. Then we hung around for a while. Me and Cheng Ling went window shopping. There was this top from MNG that was quite nice and reasonably priced but all 3 available tops in that pattern were slightly damaged. So didn't buy in the end. Nvm, I shall go shopping during this free time~! Yayz!

Well, we wanted to hang around for the countdown outside Sunway but Beh wasn't feeling well so he wanted to go home early. We decided to go to the Aquatic countdown near bkt jalil lo. But when we went there early to check it out, our plans totally fell thru. Coz to our disappointment, not only we had to pay rm55 to go in, it was smtg like a splash party, so we had to wear our swimsuits in public! A big no-no for us. =(

And back it was to Kee's house. We started playing Ps2 to pass the time. And soon it was midnight. We crowded at the balcony to see fireworks. There were quite a few but quite far away. Not as beautiful as the time when they let off some fireworks during the tv3 carnival. The fireworks then was really near and beautiful. Amazing.

And I guess that's it for the countdown. And now... to smtg we dread - cvs exam.

It was our first systems' in-course-assessment. And boy, was it hard! =( What really killed us off was OSPE. Damn hard, you know, the pics... Even tho I cud guess quite a few what it was, the thing is, the way they phrased the Qs made me put it under the wrong category.

Must rmb, pathological lesions = means we shld describe the lesion; underlying pathology = state the disease!! Ish. I know what were the diseases but I put it all under pathological lesion! *sigh* 10 marks fly away just like that. -_- And not becoz I dunno too. Aikz.

SAQ and BCQ weren't easy either. And one more thing, there was damn lot abt pathology and not one single thing about pharmaco!! *arggh* All that time spent on pharmaco...

Anyway, the conclusion was that I did studied hard for this test but the Qs that came out were just phrased too weirdly. Bah. Well, maybe I'm just making excuses so I guess I still need to study harder. *throws hands up into air*

Let's just hope that I don't fail, really had enuf of that. *crosses fingers for a lot of luck*

Ah ya, some good news! We got our summative 2 results after the cvs exam. I did well, and got the elusive A!! Yay~ My hard work finally paid off~! *breathe of relief*

Okay, I think that's all for now. I've blogged abt the new year countdown and the cvs exam, I shall update bout the E3 camp in some other post.. and hopefully by then, I'd have gotten my hands on some pics!! Hehe.

Ciao peeps! ^v^
