Life Through My Eyes

Nov-Dec summary

2011-12-29T06:26:00.000-08:00

Wow, I just noticed that I've abandoned my blog for nearly 2 months.. Haha.. Dunno la, kinda lazy to post things up.. Act got lots of things to post up.. I'll summarize some of it now.. =)

In Nov I had a 4 week posting in something called as Community Medicine.. The whole posting was well, a complete waste of time.. The only thing I managed to learn from there is that there are still communities out there who need our help, who are being neglected by the public.. If u could see the condition of the villages around that area, u'll be shocked.. And most of them live like it's nothing.. Apart from that, managed to learn how to form questionnaires and interview people.. Guess that happens when u get some lecturers who keep on giving different opinions and conflicting with one another.. Haiz.. So dysfunctional.. And I was actually looking forward to that posting.. =.="

As of current I'm in the Medicine posting.. Loving it.. Cause u get to see rare cases.. Makes u wonder also sometimes am I in the right course or not.. I admit, there were times where I feel exceptionally down cause I felt pretty dumb, can't answer anything the lecturer post.. However, thanks be to God that He pulled me out from that mess, now I'm looking forward to every hospital posting.. =) Went to two hospitals so far.. Sik is a very nice cozy place, far thou.. 94KM away from AIMST.. Not many patients but good for relaxation.. Haha.. Yan is more like a hospital, closer, about 27KM away.. Also not bad, awesome Nasi Lemak nearby.. =p

Attended Life Camp from 4th - 7th Nov, a life changing camp.. Really open your eyes to well.. Life.. And what can u do about it.. If there's a chance I would love to volunteer in the next one.. Can't tell the details thou, I'm under oath.. Haha..

CF is growing.. Praise the Lord for His greatness and glory.. Through Him we are now officially recognized by AIMST management.. =D No more hiding under the covers, we can now really make our campus into our mission field.. And what more to celebrate then to have the Christmas Gig?? Held in campus for the first time since 2007, it was a huge success.. God's presence was just overwhelming that night.. Over 200 came, 17 saved and many more wanting to know the Lord.. Praise God for His goodness, God is good all the time!! =D

Exams was concluded just before I had my holidays.. It was a tough 1 week, 6 papers in 5 days + hospitals in the morning before the papers.. Not enough sleep + lack of preparation + no motivation to study.. Really a recipe for disaster.. Praise be to God, He sustained me throughout the entire exam.. I really surrendered it all to Him, I couldn't do it by my strength.. But through Christ, all things are possible!! =D And I've seen the fruits of my dependence on Him, my Paeds paper came back with a 60.. I was shocked myself, no one but Him alone could have given me such good grades, knowing how ill prepared I was.. Glory be to God on high!!

Christmas was a very quiet affair this year.. Had our celebration at the new church building, fully packed.. So good to see that.. Futsal in the afternoon followed by 2 Christmas parties, one at my aunt's and another at a friend's place on Boxing Day.. Good food, great company, memorable events.. Thank you Lord for sending your Son Jesus Christ on that night to save the world.. If not we would have not known You.. =)

Well, that's practically my update for now.. Will update more later on.. Ciao people.. XD

Planetshakers Live in Malaysia 2011 - Nothing is Impossible!!!

2011-10-30T03:06:00.000-07:00

Through YOU,

I can do ANYTHING,

I can do ALL THINGS,

For it's YOU who gives me STRENGTH,

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE,

Through YOU,

Blind eyes are OPENED,

Strongholds are BROKEN,

I am LIVING BY FAITH,

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Yes, that's the cover for Planetshakers' new studio album, Nothing is Impossible.. And guess what?? They came down to Malaysia yesterday!!! *screams* Planetshakers was performing live at Petaling Jaya Evangelical Free Church Heritage Center yesterday (29th Oct) for 2 sessions, 4pm and 7.30pm..

And how was it? Totally awesome!!!! I went for the 7.30pm concert but was there since 6.30pm, queued up since 6.50pm and got into the hall at about 7.20pm.. LOL!! The only downside was that we can see typical Malaysian (or human) behavior when entering the auditorium.. People pushing around, cutting line, can't line up in a straight line despite pleas from the organizers.. And lying.. LOL!! Christians or not we still sin.. Apart from that small bad incident, everything else went smoothly.. =)

The concert started at 8pm, with a small introduction by the local pastor I think.. Boy was he enthusiastic.. It really got the crowd going which started off with a countdown.. Then I saw Mike Webber took the drums and I knew the full team was here.. Haha.. But what really shocked me was the lead singer.. HENRY SEELEY!!! OMG!!!!! Of all people, I didn't expect him to be here.. It was a real blessing to see him lead the entire worship.. Other team members were there too, I couldn't identify all of them but I think Brian (BJ) Pridham, Mike (Rudy) Nikkerud and Nicole Monteduro were there too.. Haha.. Lots of songs, mostly from their new album was played like Bring It On, Power, Nothing is Impossible, You Are God, Hosanna and more!! I think like 10 songs.. Haha..

Then we had a short message shared by Pastor Matt Fielder.. He is one funny guy, he really know how to incorporate jokes into his messages.. And his love about Malaysia.. Haha.. However his message was so powerful, so touching that it really made me to look into my life seriously for once.. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" Everything about the bible, all it's 66 books are summed up in that few words in that one verse.. People always say God is angry but here it is shown God so loved, so loved the world.. That He is willing to give up the one thing He loved, His only Son.. And His promise?? No matter how far we have deviate, how much we went against Him, so as long we believe, we shall not perish.. So powerful that on that night I saw many people being saved and hundreds more renew their commitment to Christ, myself included.. I hope to get the full recording of the message, then I'll post it up here.. =D

After that we ended we 3 songs from the older albums.. The one most recognized is Free.. Imagine wei, Henry Seeley singing Free at his best.. Then after that was All for Love and one more song which I'm not sure what it is.. LOL!! Henry Seeley even took the drums at the last 5 minutes while Mike Webber took over as song leader.. It's superb wei..

In conclusion, it was the best thing that has happened to me.. Better than the conference in 05, better than Hillsong's last year.. Simply because the experience is soooo surreal.. I even got the signed copy of Nothing is Impossible, a PS T-shirt and a pic with Pastor Matt himself!! =D To those who missed it, don't be sad.. I'm sure they will come again, this time I really hope the conference come like in 05, it will be really amazing..

ALL GLORY TO GOD, FOR HIS SPIRIT WORK WONDERS YESTERDAY AT PJEFC!! MANY WERE SAVED, MANY RENEW THEIR COMMITMENT AND THE WHOLE NATION CRIES OUT FOR A REVIVAL OF MALAYSIA!! PRAISE BE TO GOD!! AMEN!!

My Church's New Building!!! =D PTL!!!

2011-10-24T10:32:00.000-07:00

God is great.. Despite how many times we have turned away from Him, He is always there for us.. And He will make good of His promises, we just have to be patient.. And on Saturday was the day where I saw God's work in the area of my church, Bountiful Grace Methodist Church (BGMC)..

Saturday night was the first time I entered my church's new building.. I've been hearing from my parents how awesome it is, how splendor and marvelous it looks, how God has been so good to our church.. However, I never really got the chance to see it as I am stuck in Kedah and only come back when there's a long break.. So as I went to visit my church that night, I was really hoping for the best.. What I saw was breathtaking..

Before I go into further detail, allow me to give a bit of history to my church (oh no, boring part..) My church started off as a small outreach point by the main Chinese Methodist Church back in 1977 (wow, that's long).. Slowly but surely the number of members begin to grow.. As time went by, there was a proposal that my church become a independent church, under the Council of Churches of Malaysia.. After many years of planning and discussion, finally in April 2002 my church was formed, taking the name Bountiful Grace Methodist Church.. My family were one of the original members of this church as it slowly ascend upwards.. =)

Now, the current church building is a corner lot double story terrace house and we share it with a Methodist kindergarten.. So as the number of members grew, we begin to find it hard to accommodate them.. Major renovations were carried out but it was still wasn't enough.. In 2003, the Pastor at that time mooted the idea for us to have a bigger building for worship.. At first we try to acquire a piece of land to build our own church but that proof to be futile.. After that we try to acquire a building and convert it into a church.. The first building that was scouted was a triple story shop house in Seremban 2 in 2006 but many complications came along and the idea was shelved in 2008.. However by God's grace, a second building, the current two and a half story was bought in 2008.. The building was in the construction phase and we had very little issues in acquiring it (except the issue that the building was being sold to a church which was later cleared)

Once the building was acquired, major renovation work went underway in April 2011 and were completed on Malaysia day.. And the end result was this.. =)

A shot from outside

Main entrance

Main Santuary

The Cross, made from tinted glass (which my camera failed to capture) and has a very interesting story behind it.. =)

Basement level

First Floor

Now you know why it was breathtaking.. Never I would imagine I would see my church rise up so fast to have it's own building, it's own place of worship.. God really works wonder in our lives, you just have to believe it.. As I walked from top to bottom, I just couldn't stop and admire the work of the Lord.. I was so touched that I shed a tear or two.. God is really amazing.. An idea mooted nearly 8 years ago has finally come true.. And the best thing is more and more people are getting to know Him every week.. The Sunday School is flooded with children of all ages and the worship session is slowly growing larger..

The stage has been set, God has delivered for us.. Now it is our turn to go out and make disciples of his people.. As Jesus said in Matthew 9:37-38, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field;" we need spread the word of God to the people around the area and lead them to the Way..

GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!! =D

Clueless to what to blog..

2011-10-23T12:05:00.000-07:00

Hey readers, what do u want me to blog about?? LET ME KNOW!!! XD

I guess my caption says it all.. Seriously I'm having some kind of blogger's block.. LOL!! This blog has been running for the past 4 years, more or less.. And I'm surprised that it stayed like this that long.. When I began to blog I was like OK, this will probably last a few months before I give up totally on it.. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case cause my blog just kept picking up.. At my peak I was doing 10-12 post a month.. LOL!! That's like a post every 3 days.. I know, my life sucks doesn't it?? LOL!!

On another hand, looking back at all the old post showed me how much I have grown up in these last 3 years.. From being a Upper 6 student when I began to a 3rd year Medical student now.. Wow, time really flies doesn't it?? Hehe.. I just wish I still have the will to carry on blogging.. Sometimes I just feel like letting it die a slow, painful death but I couldn't.. This itchy fingers of mine need to type at least once a month.. Haha!!

Probably I should go back blogging about random stuff, like how I used to in the beginning. U know, the economy, the politics in Malaysia, the never ending fight of religions in this country.. Oh btw, a peaceful gathering organised by HIMPUN was held in Shah Alam Stadium against proselytizing by Christians.. Interesting to note that such gatherings are allowed while things like Bersih 2.0 (which is trying to speak the truth against the gov) is wrong.. Double standards or is it because of the stance of this country?? I leave it all to you to judge.. =p

Until something interesting sparks my mind to go become a chipmunk under the influence of alcohol, my blog will stay quite dormant for a while.. Also, you all can comment to what you want me to blog about and I'll try my very best to fulfill them.. =D Till then, toodles!!

To my friends who have left..

2011-10-11T06:30:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, I saw a few of my good friends, seniors, graduated from AIMST University.. It was a joyous moment, to see each and everyone of them finally getting their scrolls, ending their 5 years of long struggle.. And to start a whole new journey that some have yet to embrace.. And thou it was a joyous occasion; parents smiling, lecturers beaming, friends happy; yet part of me feels sad.. Sad not because something bad has happened, in fact everything went well.. Sad because I know I won't be seeing them again in this university; never again to see them in the Medical Building or the Library, no longer attending and worshiping together in CF and Church, no longer going out for late night suppers and random Penang trips..

It pains me to see them leave, to see them gone from this place and God knows when I will see them again.. Yet as much as I want them to stay, stay as long as they can, I'm just being selfish.. Our Father in Heaven knows what's best for them, He was kind enough to put them here, to make me meet them and to know them, to feel such warmth and comfort that I've not felt in years from friends, to impact my life so greatly that it has forever changed.. And now their time has come for this place, and the Father is going to put them in another place, where other people too will have a chance to experience what I have experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity.. =') (yes, it's tears of joy)

Now seeing their cars leaving campus one by one, as we bid our goodbyes, the ending was tough.. I am not an emotional person, I rarely cry unless the situation really really moves me.. However this time, I let the tears flow freely from my eyes.. I was holding back, I tried so hard to control my emotions but here I am, still watering as I type every letter out on this blog of mine.. I know I won't be seeing them again, at least not for now.. However I believe that our Father in Heaven is kind and merciful, for He will definitely do something for us to meet up once again.. All we have to do is be patient and wait for the right time to come..

As I go back to my university life with another 3 more years to go, I know that the last 2 years + with them have been good, the experiences, the memories, the joy and the advises I have received are unforgettable.. Thus I wish them all the best in their future careers, in whatever they do.. May the Lord bless all of you in everything that you do.. And may you enjoy your the new chapter in your lives, as doctors and dentist to the Malaysian community..

To Dr. Koo Thomson, Dr. Gloria Liaw, Dr. Phebe Ting and Dr. Jickson Ng, I wish u all the best!! Be the best doctors you all can be!! I'm going to miss you all, so bad that I will just tear thinking about it.. However, as Hebrews 13:7 says "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith," I will continue your good work that you have done in this campus and I'm sure all of us here will too.. And I'm even doubly sure that you all will do what you all do best, impacting people's life beyond their wildest imagination.. God bless you all.. AMEN!! =)

The Return of The Legend

2011-10-02T05:54:00.000-07:00

Onto the next post (don't wanna get u guys confused)

I finally managed to meet the Legendary Pilak this week!! Yipee!! Gosh I miss that Koo Thomson, that guy has been a blessing in my life.. Went to Penang with a bunch of the church members yesterday and Penang traffic can be a real killer.. Imagine, stuck in a jam for 35mins, thinking something big is happening only to find out that everyone "Stop and Stare" at one car with a flat tire.. =.= IT PISSES YOU OFF!!! That's Malaysian's for you thou, I think we probably cause more accidents by looking at another accident.. @.@

We had lunch (Hi-Tea) at Flamingo Hotel in Tanjung Bungah.. For the price we paid, I couldn't complain much about the food.. Not that satisfying thou for hotel standards.. Seriously.. Alas, if u pay RM35 at a Tanjung Bungah hotel you probably getting what you deserved.. Nvm, next time we spend a bit more k?? (like 3 times more *feels the pocket going through a nuclear meltdown*) However, the important thing was the fellowship, food came secondary.. It was good to see everyone enjoyed themselves.. And the pictures, OMG!! Pilak to the max wei.. All those photos.. I think my repo is ady ruined.. T.T

Headed to Gurney Plaza for Johnny English Reborn.. Awesome movie, even thou it's my 2nd time I still can't stop laughing.. And the after credits scene was simply hilarious.. Seriously dancing while cooking?? I soooo gotta try that.. =p Probably burn up half the kitchen in the process.. =.=!!!

Back to Nasmir for some late late dinner or supper, whichever point you see it.. Technically in my terms it's lunch since I never had breakfast.. XD And then we went our separate ways.. It's was thoroughly a memorable day.. Which fits the photo album title by my friend, The Return of The Legend.. XD Legendary Pilak that is.. Haha.. Lazy to upload photos here.. LOL!!

Many more outings to come I think.. But first, my bedside CA!! T.T *dashes off to the books*

In the face of danger..

2011-10-02T05:42:00.000-07:00

How have u people been lately?? Me?? I'm pretty much dead.. Well, NOT!! I was earlier in the week.. Got a nice present from the hospital; what we call "Hospital-Acquired Infection".. Just a bad case of cough + fever + a tinge of flu.. Which makes me ponder for a while, as doctors we are supposed to save lives and make it all better for others while we expose ourselves to all the diseases out there.. Think about it, cases like Dengue & TB are common in this country, what guarantee is to say u won't be infected by simple contact??

FUN FACT: Did you know that the hospital curtains around the beds are probably one of the happiest place for bacteria to grow?? A random sampling done showed that 7 out of 10 curtains grew MRSA; 3 out of 10 grew VISA (Vancomycin-insensitive S. aureus) and 2 out of 10 grew Pseudomonas..

Scary isn't it?? Come to think about it, I've never seen them changing the hospital curtains in my entire 6 weeks at the hospital, now entering my 7th.. Probably they do it when we're not around.. Not sure, still it's scary shit.. Plus the patient's bed is a like a buffet of bacteria.. Make your choice people.. o.o

Another thing you have to get used in hospitals is probably seeing patients die right in front of your eyes.. Imagine u clerk the patient early in the morning, say 8.15am; looking all fine and probably optimistic about his chances of survival; next hour u see family members of that same person crying and a blanket over the body.. It gets to you somehow, to see another human life pass by just like that.. It's something we all have to bear, something we all have to be strong with.. That's why it's important to know the fine line between COMPASSION and EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT.. Which is pretty hard, and we can argue all day long about it..

I'm about to blog something else but I'll start in a fresh page.. Moving on......

The insignificant things do matter.. =)

2011-09-11T15:46:00.000-07:00

Sometimes God can make u realize things that you think it's so small and insignificant, you think it's not even worth bothering about.. Wrong mentality I would say..

You know, at one point I was so depressed during my hospital postings that I thought I wasn't cut it out for medicine.. Cuz everything that the lecturer ask or tell, I have no single clue.. That was this one time where I felt like a complete idiot that I thought to myself; "Hey, this is not my calling, I can't even answer simple question let alone go out there and cure patients in the future." I literally had that thought running through my head and it was shit scary..

However, God sort of reminded me why am I here in the first place.. It was yesterday, just another ordinary day at the hospital.. Going around clerking patients, hoping to find a good case and present it well.. And somehow I found joy again in what I was doing.. Everything just went write yesterday, sought off, from the clerking to answering the questions to actually seeing the patients.. The feeling was like "Wow, yeah this is what I want to do." Immediately, I snapped out from my depressed mode and back to my normal self.. And I begin to understand what is being taught in the lecture (actually, I've started reading my lectures, that's why.. LOL!!) and that make things easier..

So leave it to God to decide your path in your life.. Sometimes you might think it is not meant to be but God has a bigger plan for you in your life that you just don't see it yet.. I guess I caught a glimpse of it already.. I pray that I would be able to pull through it, after all God wouldn't put you in a situation that He knows you can't handle.. Thank you God for waking me up, again.. Amen..

Raya, Merdeka n Mooncakes..

2011-08-31T09:45:00.000-07:00

Getting lazier n lazier to blog these days.. Haha.. Guess I'm just too old for these things?? Nah.. XD Typical behavior.. When you start something new, it'll be all hot and fresh.. Then as the day, weeks and months go by the fire within u begins to die down till *poof* it extinguishes.. My blog is somewhere I think we need more firewood, like LOADS OF IT!!! =p

Currently I'm having my holidays.. I know, potong stim rite?? 2 weeks of study than holiday ady.. And it didn't started off well.. Note to self: Never eat food from a highway rest stop unless it's from convenient store or KFC.. == I was down with headaches, fever, cough and diarrhea; one after another.. The diarrhea was the worst, no less than 10 times.. I wanted to lose weight during the holidays but not this way.. o.o Anyhow I thank God for putting His hand of healing on me and curing my diarrhea as fast as it came (ie within 24hours).. After that I ate like I didn't eat for ages.. How to lose weight?? ==

BBQ gathering with my F6 buddies.. Was so good to see a few of them after soooo long.. Some never seen for a year.. Haha.. And the BBQ session turned into a grilling session pulak.. Guess no one likes the hot flames.. =p We celebrated 3 celebrations in 1 go; Raya, Merdeka and Mooncake Festival.. LOL!! Regardless how old we are, we still can be a crazy bunch of people.. I guess that's the only way we can keep our sanity no thanks to our hectic lives.. =S

Holidays are passing like a breeze.. Sometimes I wonder why can't normal days pass as fast as this.. The only time when time goes fast is when ur having fun or when ur cranking ur brain for exams.. O.o Then again, if holidays were too long I'll be bored too.. I'm such a complainer.. LOL!!

Wow, now suddenly got strong gust of winds in my place.. Better sign out first before my internet collapses.. XD Toodles!! =D

MBBS 3rd Year

2011-08-20T08:34:00.000-07:00

My first week of 3rd year just ended.. Time really flies.. And it's flying like crazy.. By coming Thurs I'll have another 10 days of holidays for Raya, before I know I'll be moving onto my next posting n then onward to exams, more postings n after that, finals.. =.=" Scary shit wei..

Currently I'm posted in the Surgical Department in Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim (aka SP Hospital) My overall first week experience is fun, interesting, tiring n sometimes scary.. Y scary?? Well, I finally learned the importance of your pre-clinical knowledge during clinical years.. Imagine the doctors asking u 10 questions n all u can do is stare dumbly at the ceiling, waiting for a divine answer as one doctor put it.. Feel so dumb man.. So I made myself to promise that I would work hard for clinical years.. Not to mention that my mentor is the Deputy Dean of Clinical and I'll probably get my butt kicked if I don't do well.. (so pressuring wei.. =.=!!)

Apart from studies, other parts of my life here in uni are going pretty well so far.. CF is taking a turn for the better and I'm glad I'm part of it.. I really want to bring it up, to where it was before and I'm sure all the other members also feel the same way.. Also to look after our juniors, ensuring they are moving in the path of God.. =) I am still single for now.. And no immediate plans to go back into a relationship so fast.. Guess part of me is suited to be single.. =p And church is good, I'm in the P&W team now and I'll be giving my all for the glory of God.. =D

So this will be my lone update for now.. Dunno when the next one will be but hopefully not too long.. =p Take care peeps.. =D

End of my holidays.. T.T or =D

2011-08-11T12:41:00.000-07:00

Well, my holidays are fast approaching to an end.. In another 24 hours I'll be leaving for AIMST.. Or actually halfway there.. Stopping by at Kulim for a night before going back.. Haha.. However this holidays has been a good one.. Not too long, not too short.. Thou somehow I'm beginning to get accustom of not having to sit n study every night.. >.<

Met some old friends which I have not seen for a long time, catch up with people that I missed the most, head to places where I have never been in ages.. Yup.. Tat's probably my holidays.. And finally finished reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown about 10 mins ago.. Haha.. Finally it is done after 1 year I bought that book.. Blame it both on my laziness n my tight schedule.. =p

3rd year.. What am I to expect? Interesting stuff I hope.. =) I'll be starting with Surgery posting and as I have heard, it is one of the most interesting postings out there.. Guess it will be cool to see various types of surgeries n stuff that can be cured by it.. Of course I have to prepare myself better, no more last minute studying, no more going out the night before exam, no more excessive computer hours n randomness.. Yeah right.. That defines me.. Haha.. However I do hope one thing, TO LOSE WEIGHT!! Damn it I gained like freaking 5kgs.. O.o Time to hit the tart shop, er I meant track.. XD

Also I hope to improve my spiritual life.. I still feel it's stuck at the same level since year 2.. =.=" Really need to improve on it.. Pray more often, read the Word more often.. Do something that's worthwhile at least.. And of course to help in every way either in church or in CF.. No more helping around campus, I think the 2 years I have sacrifice to so many events here is more than enough.. Heck, all I wanted to do was to come to study and stay low profile.. Guess that worked pretty well, didn't it?? *sarcasm*

Since there are still fellow readers out there reading my blog, silently or not, I guess I'll keep this blog running.. Sorry for breaking my promise of updating it constantly, guess laziness and an empty mind got the better of me.. I guess there'll be an interesting update tomorrow.. Haha.. Just a teaser, it's about my idea of the grass is greener over the other side.. *refer to my FB status* XD

Nitez people!! God bless u all!! =D

P.S. To all my friends who are sitting for their supplementary examination in about 5 hours time, be strong and just do it k.. U have done ur preparations well, now it's just the final battle in order to move forward.. God is with you in everything that you do.. =)

Who is still reading??? =S

2011-08-07T05:33:00.000-07:00

I dunno what to post here.. LOL!! Like no more mood to blog anymore.. Plus I dunno if anyone still reads my blog.. Oh hey, there's something to post..

IF ANYONE IS STILL READING MY BLOG, COMMENT IN THE CBOX OR COMMENT THIS ENTRY; THEN AT LEAST I WILL KEEP U GUYS UPDATED.. IF NOT THEN THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG IS POINTLESS ALREADY.. XD

Terima kasih.. =p

Onward to 3rd year!!!

2011-07-24T07:37:00.000-07:00

This 2nd post is more mellow compare to the first post.. Haha... However I figured I need to update all my readers out there about my current life..

I AM OFFICIALLY A 3RD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT!!!

Yes, I know I'm super late.. I got to know the results last Friday morning.. When I was going to Mid Valley.. The last time I was in Mid Valley was in March when I got my CNS CA results.. Haha.. Seems MV is a good place to hear results, should go there all the way up till my final year.. XD

I thank God in guiding me through this 2nd year.. It has been a tough journey for me, with studies, uni life, family problems and personal issues are coming into play.. However our God is a faithful God; and He never leaves His servants alone to battle the task that is thrown to them.. So yeah, praise the Lord for whatever He has done for me and for what He is going to do for me.. AMEN!!

Also my heart goes out to those who are facing their supplementary examinations and those who have to repeat the year.. By no means it was an easy news to swallow.. Suddenly I've lost 8 people from my batch.. Suddenly the fate of another 40 are left dangling by a thread.. I've said it before that I do not want to see anyone drop out from my batch, all the way to 5th year.. Alas, it was not meant to be.. Some were shocking, some were surprising.. However everything happens for a reason and all I can say is be still, it's another challenge to what u can truly become.. To those sitting for their supplementary exam, do your best.. It's a second attempt to enter 3rd year, so don't waste it.. And to those who are repeating, be strong.. Your goal is still to complete this course, no matter how long it takes if u have the burning passion for it you can do it!!

So as of now my world revolves eating, sleeping, shitting, online and going out.. LOL!! Pretty lame man.. Haha.. Sadly it is only for 3 weeks before I go back to my mundane life again.. Not very mundane but still it will be like wake up for hospital, go back campus for class, eat dinner, study, sleep and do it all over again the next day.. LOL!! However it's going to be fun I hope, 3rd year man.. Time really flies.. So to all those on holiday, enjoy it to the MAX!!! Haha.. After that we'll be complaining when's holidays again.. XD

Bersih 2.0

2011-07-24T06:44:00.000-07:00

I know this was a long overdue post.. Haha.. Sorry cuz I've been busy with holidays and partly I was too darn lazy to update my blog.. XD Now for my thoughts on Bersih 2.0

We all know why Bersih was formed.. It was for a cleaner and fairer elections in Malaysia.. Now I do not know how true is this but apparently some votes are being tampered with by the winning party; for example postal votes.. And thou the EC is a non-bias organization; we do not know the people in it.. I do hope they are non-bias as well or not the entire trust on the EC will just fall apart..

Started in 2005 as the Joint Action Committee of Electoral Reform, it changed to The Coalition of Clean and Fair Elections in November 2006.. From then on, they have had 2 peaceful protest; one in 2007 and the latest one just 2 weeks back.. Now, note the word PEACEFUL.. Sadly the government doesn't think it is a peaceful one and launch the Federal Reserves Unit and the police force onto them; like dogs hunting their prey.. What was supposed to be a peaceful protest or demonstration turned into a chaotic nightmare as tear gas and chemical water were sprayed at those participating the rallies.. Worst of all, the gov try to cover up by saying they used minimal force to disperse the crowd.. Yeah, overpowering a man with 5-6 police officers is 'minimal' force..

The big question is if everything is clean and fair why the gov had to intervene? Till to the extend that the army mentioned "We can declare a state of emergency if the situation arises".. If everything is smooth going, why want to breakup a peaceful protest? Other countries allowed Bersih to go on.. Australia, UK, South Korea, Japan, Singapore.. You name it, we got it.. Why only in Malaysia it's such a big fuss?

Back in 2007, Al-Jazeera called up our Information Minister to explain the violence that was done to disperse the crowd.. Not only he can't speak English for nuts, the way he argued back and pointed fingers was a shame to both the people and the country.. Makes you think what kind of people we have running our country.. In 2011, a similar thing happened.. Probably not as sensationalize as 4 years back but still enough eye witness account of things that were really happening.. Our mainstream media is blacking out many things, not surprising since we know who owns them.. However, my friends who went gave a few interesting accounts:

1) There was definitely more than 6,000 people that was reported who were at Pudu and around those areas.. One even claim there were at least 20,000 people.

2) The 'peacekeepers' acted like gangsters and hooligans, chasing people and catching them.. Over 1,000 people were arrested.. They also arrested people from Perkasa and UMNO Youth but the way it is done is way way different.. (U know what I mean)

3) The IGP claims they did not fire tear gas near the hospitals.. However, video evidence proves that Tung Shin Hospital is heavily covered with tear gas.

4) At least one man is believed to have died due to complication of both the chemical water and tear gas.

See the difference between eye witness account and what is being reported? Who can be trusted in today's world of deception? And another note; if Bersih was a biased organization; why then all the races in Malaysia came out on 9th July to show what they really want? If it is a biased organization; why did everyone try to help everyone on that very day? You wanted to 1 Malaysia? On 9th July we had 1 Malaysia; live and exclusive..

So is Bersih 2.0 bad? To me no, cause they are simply voicing out what has been wrong for the last 54 years.. OK, at least the last 20 years since they were good times in the beginning.. It's sad to see while other countries can have reformations and changes, this country is stuck in the stone age, making decisions that's sending it further and further into the past.. Yes, one party may have the experience all this while to run the country but shouldn't others be given a chance too?

The debate will forever rage on and until the next General Elections come, we will still continue to debate.. Will be the opposition be any good? If the current party retains power will the future of Malaysia be better or worst? Will democracy still prevail or martial law take over if the RAHMAN prophesy is true? The truth is out there somewhere, we just have to search for it..

"Malaysia is a beautiful country that is being destroyed by not so beautiful people"

Theory papers have fallen..

2011-07-11T03:20:00.000-07:00

Finally all my theory papers are over!! YIPEE!!! Now left the practical paper.. Ala.. Sap sap sui la that one.. NOT!! 18 Anatomy stations, 17 MDL stations and 12 Clinical stations.. 47 stations in 2 hours.. Covering 6 systems.. It's going to be one long practical session.. O.o

So how did all my batchmates do for their papers?? I hope everyone did their best.. Cuz I certainly didn't.. To be honest, I enjoyed too much during finals.. Like seriously alot.. How?? Well, u dun go watching Transformers 3 when u have the mother of all papers on Monday (CNS) or play computer games for hours when u should be studying.. Or how about this; going to a BBQ when ur final theory paper is TODAY!!! LOL!!

Seriously I was asking for trouble.. However I thank God for guiding me through all the 6 papers so far.. He is really great, He who has help me a thousand times has done it again.. Praise be to God.. Among all the papers the two I fear most is my CNS and Renal paper; Renal being the worse of the two.. Seriously all I want is a pass, nothing more.. I just don't want to see my name in the Viva or Supplementary list; just move on into 3rd year and start anew.. That's not too much too ask right? =)

There's so much things I would like to update, especially on my personal views of Bersih 2.0.. Boy now that's a different story all together.. Alas, my body can only take so much beating and after 27.5hours of no sleep; I think it's high time I hit the sacks.. At 6.30pm.. O.o So stay tune my fellow readers for an insight into

BERSIH 2.0

random ranting

2011-06-27T10:53:00.000-07:00

If you can't have unity in a batch of 200 students; how are the 200 going to face the workforce of 20k doctors in the future?? How are they going to work together with MOH, MMC and MMA if such simple things in a batch become like WW3?? It's crazy and it's plain dumb..

JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE TASK THAT'S AHEAD OF US!!!

As one senior told me, take things one step at a time; complete your Year 2 first before thinking about Year 3; complete your Year 5 before thinking about houseman-ship, complete your MO before thinking about specialization.. Chillax people, we still got the whole world ahead of us..

P.S. Really beh syok some people in the batch who happily target some people while thinking they themselves have no fault at all.. You may hide in front the face of men, but you cannot hide from God..

When groupings become an issue

2011-06-25T23:34:00.000-07:00

Recently it was announced that for my 3rd year hospital posting, we are to be divided into 4 groups.. And we have to choose our own groups.. And that the group must have a balance in terms of gender and race.. "Fine, that should be no problem;" so I thought.. I mean how hard could it be? Form a group of 18/19 with your friends, settle the transport issue and off we go..

How wrong could I be.. The whole grouping team has really shaken the unity of the batch.. And if there was no unity in the first place, it's going to be harder to have unity now.. The reason being so is that some people have different ways of forming groups.. And since everyone has different opinion, it leads to conflicts and problems.. One chooses people who the person wants, rejecting others; another says to a group you can all join but A cannot join; one group has a terrible miscommunication which leads to the break up of that group; another had their friendship destroyed (and restored again, thank God) and still got others who "senju" their friends to the max, may it be housemates, good friends, etc..

In addition to that, you have one person who decides to bypass everything and see the higher up.. For the good of the batch yes; but of course if discussed appropriately.. Now that's another war altogether.. And to top it all up, here is a quote from one of my friends; "In order to be equal in race, people become more racist." Speaks a lot doesn't it? How can then this choosing of groups be a good idea if it breaks heart and destroys friendship? How can it be good if one feels like the whole world is against that person while another has too many people asking that person to join their groups? Alas, not everyone is satisfied.. I did suggest we just stick to the name list or the PBL groupings but it would be very lopsided.. It wouldn't be fair for those leaving outside of campus next year..

So how do you solve an issue which has so much problems? Which actually brings out the very nature of human beings? Well, it can if everyone cooperates but sadly, that's one thing which is very hard to achieve.. Personal experience for 2 years in this course.. In the end, I pray everything will turn out alright, that the people in their respective groups will be satisfied, that those with broken hearts and friendships will be mended and healed and that no one will be affected in their finals; which is by far the most important things right now..

Disclaimer: The above rant is my own thoughts of the matter after gathering various information from people around me and may not represent the true scenario of the whole situation, which could be better or worst..

D-Day in 26 hours

2011-06-22T14:30:00.000-07:00

In about 26 hours from now I'll be starting the biggest battle of my MBBS Year 2 studies.. That's right people, it's finals again.. And this time my batch is the last among our peers to have its finals and to complete it.. Come to think of it, we're the only batch left who haven't started our finals, apart from MBBS Year 3.. Funny eh??

So it all comes down to this.. 10 months of hard work all down to 7 papers in a span of 3 weeks, a do or won't make it mission (won't die, worst is just repeat the year) and of course the sweet victory that lies after all this over.. To all my batch mates, GAMBATEH!! We can all do it, we will surely be enjoying hospitals next year TOGETHER!!

Lately I've been reading a lot of people passing away; friend's friends, relatives, family members.. Makes u really ponder on life.. Life is so short, why waste it doing something you're going to regret for the rest of your life.. Should do something fun, do something worthwhile.. Then I ask one of my friend what is worthwhile for her.. She said, I'm becoming a doctor, that's more than enough for me.. Yeah, I'm doing something I wanted all along.. And it's all thank to God for His gracious mercy to provide me such an opportunity.. So thank you Lord, thank you dad and mum, thank you all who have make my dream come true.. =)

I SURRENDER ALL TO YOU

I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU

JESUS CHRIST, TAKE MY LIFE

IT'S ALL FOR YOU!!!

Yes, my finals is all surrendered to Lord.. I have done all I can, I will enter with faith and I know I am able to do all things in Him who strengthens me.. Praise be to God.. Amen!!

Thanks be to God

2011-06-17T00:35:00.000-07:00

How great is our God

Sing with me how great is our God

And all will sing how great, how great

Is our God!!!

Yes, our God is great.. Today my Renal and Haematology System results came out and if u refer to my post at the beginning of the month that I probably sat for one of the worst CA in my medical studies (so far).. However, God is great and gracious to allow me to pass my examination and above all that, to score above my expectations..

It's really true.. 1Peter 5:7 has been stuck in my head for a few days now and I'm sure all of us can really use that verse to be motivated.. I thank God for helping me in all my 2nd year trials and now I pray that my finals will also be smooth sailing..

Some of you might ask me, "It's finals, how can you be so relax?" Well, truth is I really don't know.. All I know is that I'll enter with faith into the examination hall, do the best I can and the rest I leave it for God to decide.. For it is written He will make you the head and not the tail.. Praise be to God.. Amen!! =D

For all those facing their finals.. =D

2011-06-16T01:52:00.000-07:00

I was running through the web when I came across a blog with biblical verses for those facing exams.. So I am going to share it here.. =D

Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. (James 5:13)

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Matthew 6:25-27)

How great is our God? He would never let us suffer alone, He would never leave us nor forsake us, because He cares for us.. So to all my friends out there who are facing their finals (especially MBBS and BDS batches of AIMST) and you think that you can't do it, you can't bear the trials that lies ahead of you, be strong and have faith.. The God Almighty is with you.. He is your protector, your provider, your saviour.. For He shall make you the head and not the tail.. (Deuteronomy 28:13)

Thus do not fear, for you can do all things in Him who strengthens you!! (Philippians 4:13) Praise be to God!! All the best friends!! Take care and God bless you all!!

About Suffering..

2011-06-04T13:57:00.000-07:00

Would like to share with you all something I shared with my CF mates last Thursday.. I hope u all will find this beneficial.. =)

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?

1) What kind of suffering that exist in today’s world?

- We see suffering on a global scale – Natural disasters, floods, famines, earthquake

- Community tragedies – World Trade Centre 9/11, accidents, tragedy at work places

- Individual levels – Bereavement, sickness, depression, broken relationships, persecution

2) Why God allowed suffering?

- Suffering is not part of God’s original created order (Genesis 1-2)

- No suffering before humanity rebelled against God

- There will be no suffering when God creates ‘a new heaven and earth’ (Revelation 21)

- Suffering entered because of Adam and Eve sinned.

- Why God allowed it?

i) Because he loves us and wanted to give us free will

ii) Love is not love if it is forced, it can only be love if there is a real choice.

iii) God gave freedom of choice in the beginning, men and women from the beginning has chosen to break God’s laws and the result has been suffering.

3) What causes suffering?

- Our own sins? Inevitable consequence of breaking God’s law. God comes down and judge people

a) The Great Flood (Genesis 6-8)

b) Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19)

c) Individual sins. Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira – Sold land but kept portion of money for themselves and lied to God. (Acts 5:1-11); King David's "sin" with Uriah and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12)

- Not all suffering resulted from sin

a) Jobs and Joseph

b) Jesus repudiates the automatic link between sin and suffering ( ¹ As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. ² His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”³ “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.) [John 9:1-3]. Jesus also pointed out that natural disasters are not necessarilya form of punishment from God (Luke 13:1-5)

c) Peter draws a distinction between suffering as a result of our own sin and suffering which has no connection with our sin or suffering “for doing good”

(For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. ²⁰ But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.) [1 Peter 2:19-20]

- Sin of others?

a) War, famine, man-made disasters

b) Murder, theft, rape

- Sin of a fallen world?

a) Adam and Eve’s sin – only a small proportion. It was their result that “thorns and thistles” entered the world (Genesis 3:18)

- We shouldn’t judge others for their suffering “When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7)

4) God works through suffering

- Suffering is used by God to draw us to Christ

- God uses suffering to bring us to Christian maturity – uses it to build our characters. (¹⁰ Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. ¹¹ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.) [Hebrews 12:10-11]

- To make our lives more fruitful – Jesus said that as a gardener prunes the vine, so God prunes every fruitful branch ‘so that is will be even more fruitful’ (John 15:2)

- People who suffer, who toil, have their eyes on God

- God often uses suffering to bring about his good purposes – Life of Joseph – not easy to see God’s plan early on but it will be revealed later on

5) God more than compensates for our suffering

a) Joseph

- God was always with Joseph (Genesis 39:21), regardless as a slave in Potiphar’s house or in prison. In the end he was put in charge of the whole land of Egypt and he managed to see his entire family reunited and rescued from starvation.

b) Job

- Loss everything, wealth, all his children and finally suffering from the most horrific disease. In the end blessed him with great wealth, 7 sons and 3 beautiful daughters, lived a great age and saw his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren

c) God has given us so many promises and how wonderful heaven will be.

d) Martin Luther once said “I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joys and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years”

6) God is involved in our suffering – the cross is the proof. God was ‘in Christ’, reconciling the world to himself. He became one of us; he suffered in all ways in which we suffer. He does not just know about suffering – he has suffered himself. He knows what we are feeling when we suffer.

7) How do we respond to suffering?

- We ask ourselves questions. Book of Job is not so much about why God allows suffering but how we should respond to it.

a) Is this suffering a result of our own sin?

b) What is God saying to us through this suffering?

c) What does God want us to do?

- NEVER LOSE HOPE, KEEP OUR EYES FIXED ONTO HIM

- If we see others suffering, the most positive thing we can do is to put an arm around the person and ‘weep with those who weep’ “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” (Roman 12:15)

In summary, we need to come back yet again to the cross of Christ. For it is here that we begin to understand why a God of love should allow suffering

1) Firstly we see that human beings abused their God-given freedom when they choose to nail Jesus to the cross. And yet God used that very abuse, enabling Jesus on the cross to pay the price for that sin, and for all sin through all time.

2) Secondly, we see God working through suffering. Those who nailed Jesus to the cross intended it for evil, but God intended it for good. The cross is ultimately a victory because it holds the key to salvation.

3) Thirdly, we see that God more than compensates for suffering. Jesus ‘who for joy set before him endured the cross’ (Hebrews 12:2) saw ahead of his resurrection, and as a result of that, to our own resurrection and eternity with him.

4) Lastly and most important of all, we see that God himself is not removed from suffering. He participated in the suffering of the cross and he suffers for us and with us now.

End of the final CA

2011-06-02T10:27:00.000-07:00

Going to forgo my idea not posting till 14th july and will post one now..

My final CA for the year, Renal & Haematology System was completed this morning.. And boy was it the worst paper yet.. It's even harder than CNS, can u believe that?? I'm going to shoot those seniors who have been telling me "Ah.. It's a piece of cake.." Really kena senju man.. -.-"

That aside, I've come to the conclusion of my CA examinations and now the real battle begins.. 3 gruesome weeks of n0n-stop studying for finals.. Look on the bright side, no more classes, no more assignments, no more boring-i-will-definitely-sleep-in-class lectures.. XD Yet something tells me all is not well for this coming finals.. Don't know, just feel something is not right somewhere.. Ah.. Why worry.. Everything is determined by God, I have to work hard but in the end my future is determine by Him.. He has put me here, He has His purpose.. =D

On a positive note, me and her have begin to talk again.. I guess that's a very good sign.. Still will take time but at least we're heading into the correct path again.. Learned my lesson well, now to move on with life.. =)

Well, I got the whole weekend ahead.. Probably won't study or something like that.. Will see how, just tired of the whole thing for now.. LOL.. And I still got one last histo assignment to do.. Plus EPP exam in 12hours time.. What a bummer.. >.< Better get going then.. Toodles.. XD

The Praying Hands

2011-05-30T22:54:00.000-07:00

Many of us would have seen the picture of “The Praying Hands”, also present in many Christian homes, but would almost certainly not have heard the moving story behind this popular picture.

Here is the story.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PICTURE OF THE PRAYING HANDS

Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived
a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order merely to keep food
on the table for this mob, the father and head of the household, a
goldsmith by profession, worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade
and any other paying chore he could find in the neighborhood.

Despite their seemingly hopeless condition, two of the elder children,
Albrecht and Albert, had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their
talent for art, but they knew full well that their father would never be
financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the
Academy.

After many long discussions at night in their crowded bed, the two
boys finally worked out a pact. They would toss a coin. The loser would
go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his
brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won
the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the
other brother at the academy, either with sales of his artwork or,
if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.

They tossed a coin on a Sunday morning after church. Albrecht Durer
won the toss and went off to Nuremberg.

Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four
years, financed his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an
immediate sensation. Albrecht's etchings, his woodcuts, and his oils
were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he
graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his
commissioned works.

When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held
a festive dinner on their lawn to celebrate Albrecht's triumphant
homecoming. After a long and memorable meal, punctuated with music and
laughter, Albrecht rose from his honored position at the head of the
table to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice
that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. His closing words
were, "And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn.
Now you can go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care
of you."

All heads turned in eager expectation to the far end of the table where
Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, shaking his lowered head
from side to side while he sobbed and repeated, over and over, "No ..no
...no ..no."

Finally, Albert rose and wiped the tears from his cheeks. He glanced
down the long table at the faces he loved, and then, holding his hands
close to his right cheek, he said softly, "No, brother. I cannot go to
Nuremberg. It is too late for me. Look ... look what four years in the
mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed
at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis so badly
in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast,
much less make delicate lines on parchment or canvas with a pen or a
brush. No, brother ...for me it is too late."

More than 450 years have passed. By now, Albrecht Durer's hundreds of
masterful portraits, pen and silver-point sketches, water colors,
charcoals, woodcuts, and copper engravings hang in every great
museum in the world, but the odds are great that you, like most people,
are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer's works. More than merely
being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in
your home or office.

One day, to pay homage to Albert for all that he had sacrificed,
Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother's abused hands with palms
together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful
drawing simply "Hands," but the entire world almost immediately opened
their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed his tribute of love
"The Praying Hands."

The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a second
look.

LET IT BE YOUR REMINDER,

THAT NO ONE -

NO ONE - EVER MAKES IT ALONE!

Ending of MBBS 2nd year

2011-05-28T12:38:00.000-07:00

So my second year classes have come to an end with the final lecture on last Thursday.. Time sure pass pretty fast for me and all of us here in AIMST University.. One moment I was beginning a brand new year, all excited about the new things I was going to learn, next I'm studying like crazy (OK. not that hard, been pretty lazy actually) for my coming CA and then Finals on 24th June.. Wow, less than a month away to my finals.. Pretty scary stuff if u ask me.. Everyone has to go through it in the end I guess, no two ways about it..

So 2nd year has been a topsy turvy year.. Organized a few events, did some stuff and my breakup with my gf.. So yeah, lots of drama.. Not to mention the drama in class, among friends, in university and so forth.. Just hope things will get better during 3rd year.. At least for the batch.. I'm sure last Thursday sarcasm by our Deputy Dean is a wake up call for all of us.. If not we are really really ignorant of the severity of the current situation..

I've begin to serve in my church praise and worship ministry.. PTL for giving me the opportunity to play for Him.. What great joy is to worship in front of the Lord.. Hopefully I'll step up more in my spiritual growth.. Still many areas for me to improve.. =)

So guess I won't be posting till after my finals, which will end on 14th July.. All the best to everyone out there.. =) GAMBATEH and God bless u all!! =D

I'M SORRY

2011-05-16T08:23:00.001-07:00

I'm sorry for not being there for u when u need me most.

I'm sorry I can't give u the best.

I'm sorry I was never a better BF for you. I'm sorry I can never be like others in campus.

I'm sorry for giving u hope when we were no longer together, for my actions, for what I did, for

what I said on Tuesday.

I'm sorry for what happened last Wednesday, for not acknowledging your presence, for not thanking you for everything, for simply ignoring you throughout the event.

I'm sorry for all the pain and hurt I have caused to you.

I'm sorry that it has ended this way.

I pray and hope that you will be able to find the one Mr. Right who'll treat you for who you're really are cause I'm definitely not that person.

I'm sorry I have lost you as a friend.

"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord," Acts 3:19

I've repented on what I have done and now I shall move forward with faith. I don't expect a forgiveness from you nor even the slight hope of friendship.Heck, we might be enemies for life. However, I have forgiven for what your have done towards me; regardless whether you have done the same or not. For it is written:

"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:14-15

I pray that Lord give me the strength to change me into a new person, to turnover a new leaf, to be somebody that is totally different from the old me. May Lord grant me this strength I seek. Amen.

A Story Worth Sharing

2011-05-14T22:36:00.001-07:00

Father John Powell, a professor at Loyola University in Chicago, writes about a student in his Theology of Faith class named Tommy:

Some twelve years ago, I stood watching my university students file into the classroom for our first session in the Theology of Faith.That was the day I first saw Tommy.

My eyes and my mind both blinked. He was combing his long flaxen hair, which hung six inches

below his shoulders. It was the first time I had ever seen a boy with hair that long. I guess it was just coming into fashion then. I know in my mind that it isn't what's on your head but what's in it that counts; but on that day I was unprepared and my emotions flipped. I immediately filed

Tommy under "S" for strange... Very strange.

Tommy turned out to be the "atheist in residence" in my Theology of Faith course. He constantly objected to, smirked at, or whined about the possibility of an unconditionally loving Father/God. We lived with each other in relative peace for one semester, although I admit he was for me at

times a serious pain in the back pew.

When he came up at the end of the course to turn in his final exam, he asked in a cynical tone, "Do you think I'll ever find God?" I decided instantly on a little shock therapy.

"No!" I said very emphatically.

"Why not," he responded,

"I thought that was the product you were pushing." I let him get five steps from the classroom door and then called out,

"Tommy! I don't think you'll ever find Him, but I am absolutely certain that He will find you!" He shrugged a little and left my class.

I felt slightly disappointed at the thought that he had missed my clever line -- He will find you!

At least I thought it was clever.

Later, I heard that Tommy had graduated, and I was duly grateful. Then a sad report came.

I heard that Tommy had terminal cancer. Before I could search him out , he came to see me. When he walked into my office, his body was very badly wasted and the long hair had all

fallen out as a result of chemotherapy. But his eyes were bright and his voice was firm,

for the first time, I believe.

"Tommy, I've thought about you so often; I hear you are sick," I blurted out.

"Oh, yes, very sick. I have cancer in both lungs. It's a matter of weeks." Tommy replied.

"Can you talk about it, Tom?" I asked.

"Sure, what would you like to know?" he replied.

"What's it like to be only twenty-four and dying?"

"Well, it could be worse."

"Like what?"

"Well, like being fifty and having no values or ideals, like being fifty and thinking that booze, seducing women, and making money are the real biggies in life.."

I began to look through my metal file cabinet under "S" where I had filed Tommy as strange.

(It seems as though everybody I try to reject by classification, God sends back into my life to educate me.)

"But what I really came to see you about," Tom said, "is something you said to me on the last day of class." (He remembered!)

He continued, "I asked you if you thought I would ever find God and you said, 'No!' which surprised me.

Then you said, 'But He will find you.' I thought about that a lot, even though my search for God was hardly intense at that time. (My clever line. He thought about that a lot!) .

"But when the doctors removed a lump from my groin and told me that it was malignant, that's when I got serious about locating God..

And when the malignancy spread into my vital organs, I really began banging bloody fists

against the bronze doors of heaven. But God did not come out.

In fact, nothing happened. Did you ever try anything for a long time with great effort and with no success? You get psychologically glutted, fed up with trying. And then you quit.....

Well, one day I woke up, and instead of throwing a few more futile appeals over that high brick wall to a God who may be or may not be there, I just quit.

I decided that I didn't really care about God, about an after life, or anything like that. I decided to spend what time I had left doing something more profitable.

I thought about you and your class and I remembered something else you had said:: " The essential sadness is to go through life without loving. But it would be almost equally sad to go through life and leave this world without ever telling those you loved that you had loved them.'"

So, I began with the hardest one, my Dad. He was reading the newspaper when I approached him. "Dad."

"Yes, what?" he asked without lowering the newspaper.

"Dad, I would like to talk with you."

"Well, talk."

"I mean . It's really important."

The newspaper came down three slow inches. " What is it?"

"Dad, I love you, I just wanted you to know that." Tom smiled at me and said it with obvious satisfaction, as though he felt a warm and secret joy flowing inside of him.

"The newspaper fluttered to the floor. Then my father did two things I could never remember him ever doing before. He cried and he hugged me. We talked all night, even though he had to go to work the next morning. It felt so good to be close to my father, to see his tears, to feel his hug, to hear him say that he loved me."

" It was easier with my mother and little brother. They cried with me, too, and we hugged each

other, and started saying real nice things to each other. We shared the things we had been keeping secret for so many years."

I was only sorry about one thing --- that I had waited so long. Here I was, just beginning to open up to all the people I had actually been close to. "Then, one day I turned around and God was there. He didn't come to me when I pleaded with Him. I guess I was like an animal trainer

holding out a hoop, 'C'mon, jump through C'mon, I'll give you three days, three weeks.'"

"Apparently God does things in His own way and at His own hour....But the important thing is that He was there. He found me..! You were right.....He found me even after I stopped looking for Him."

"Tommy," I practically gasped,

"I think you are saying something very important and much more universal than you realize.

To me, at least, you are saying that the surest way to find God is not to make Him a private possession, a problem solver, or an instant consolation in time of need, but rather by opening to love.

You know, the Apostle John said that... He said: "God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him.''

"Tom, could I ask you a favor? You know, when I had you in class you were a real pain. But (laughingly) you can make it all up to me now. Would you come into my present Theology of Faith course and tell them what you have just told me? If I told them the same thing it wouldn't be half as effective as if you were to tell it."

"Oooh.. I was ready for you, but I don't know if I'm ready for your class."

"Tom, think about it. If and when you are ready, give me a call."

In a few days Tom called, said he was ready for the class, that he wanted to do that for God and for me. So we scheduled a date. However, he never made it. He had another appointment, far more important than the one with me and my class. Of course, his life was not really ended by his death, only changed. He made the great step from faith into vision. He found a life far more beautiful than the eye of man has ever seen or the ear of man has ever heard or the mind of man has ever imagined.

Before he died, we talked one last time.

"I'm not going to make it to your class," he said.

"I know, Tom."

"Will you tell them for me? Will you ...tell the whole world for me?"

"I will, Tom. I'll tell them. I'll do my best."

So, to all of you who have been kind enough to read this simple story about God's love, thank you for listening. And to you, Tommy, somewhere in the sunlit, verdant hills of heaven --- I told them, Tommy, as best I could.

If this story means anything to you, please pass it on to a friend or two. It is a true story and is not enhanced for publicity purposes.

With thanks,

21st Birthday Celebration

2011-05-14T10:06:00.000-07:00

Had it like a few hours ago.. One word, AWESOME!! Why?? Cause

1) Thankful that some of my friends turned up even thou it was a really last minute thing.

2) Managed to celebrate my 21st birthday with my parents, seriously thought it would not happen.

3) MU won the title!! (OK, this was a bonus.. =p)

Thank you all for coming and thanks for everything guys.. Interestingly I received my presents in pairs this year.. 2 water tumblers (one is Starbucks btw, thx Jean!!), 2 boxes of Ferrero Rochers, 2 monetary gifts (finally no longer broke!!) and 2 books (Beatrice u con artist!! XD).. So is two my lucky number this year?? Haha.. Nah.. Guess one is.. LOL!!

Why one u say?? Well, cause I'm single again people.. Yeah, lots of shit happened and it's my fault for the shit to happen but in the end, I had enough.. And to be honest, I'm actually relieved, a lot more happier.. Don't know why.. Probably it's God's way of letting me know something better is lying ahead.. I thanked Him for finally waking me up, hitting me on the head with a gigantic hammer on my 21st Birthday.. So it's a mixed one.. It was bad in one way cause I've totally lost a friend now and it was good in the other way cause it has liberated me from the pit I dug myself into.. And also thanks to all my friends who supported me and make my 21st birthday a memorable one..

So what's next for me? Study hard, continue to seek Him and come back to Him (seriously I have deviated a lot without me knowing, thank you for showing me the way once again) and enjoy life as it is.. No point dwelling on the past, not after what has happened.. I apologized, I accepted responsibility, I've taken the blame and if that's all not enough then forget it.. Why hurt yourself any longer knowing things will never be the same probably forever right??

Now I have to concentrate on my coming CA in 2 weeks followed by my finals at the end of June.. Then I'll start thinking about other stuff.. Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! XD

P.S. I wish you all the best in your future undertakings.. I do not hate you for what you've done.. I simply forgive and forget.. =)

THE END

2011-05-11T11:50:00.000-07:00

IN THE END, EVERYTHING ENDS IN A DISASTER

Earth Hour 2011

2011-03-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

Earth Hour has always bear a special resemblance to the world ever since it started in Sydney, Australia back in 2007. I was glad that I was able to do it with my family for the first time cause:

1) 2008 missed it caused was out eating steamboat

2) 2009 missed it caused was dead sick on the bed

3) 2010 missed it cause I was in campus.. LOL!!

So finally got my parents to turn off all non essential lighting at home + any other electrical appliances that we don't need.. Means I went without computer for an hour.. Haha.. Achievement wei considering I'm back home.. During that one hour was really a period of reflection for me as I picture how can the whole Earth be saved if each of us just do a small part.. And I figured why just make Earth Hour a yearly event? Why not an everyday event? Hehe.. Kinda make sense rite?? Imagine if all non essential lights are turned off everyday, won't that really save up the electricity bill, the amount of heat we're emitting and thus saving the Earth? =p

Also in conjunction with Earth Day, I'm working with my old school on a project that can at least bring some joy for Mother Earth.. She has been long suffering, so we should do something to ease her pain.. Back to the drawing board Jason.. =S

Lastly, I figured out TNBs way of contributing to Earth Hour.. By making my taman have a blackout for 4 hours.. Right on midnight.. LOL!! Turns out a substation blew at my place.. Can't sleep wei, damn hot.. Best part is I slept without realising the current finally came back.. Woke up shivering cause the air cond was on.. LOL!! I guess my bro forgot to turn it off when the current went off.. =p

Will be a busy few days as starting to meet up with my frens.. And a camp coming up.. Hopefully a few more updates before I go back AIMST.. Hehe.. =D

The End of Our Days?

2011-03-24T08:48:00.000-07:00

For the past week or so, the topic that has been most talked about is "Is the end of days really coming??" Now after the Japan Earthquake + Tsunami + Nuclear Disaster, it had got people scrambling around, going hysterical and crying to God, "Is our time really up??"

Further evidence?? Earthquake in Christchurch, NZ; floods in Australia; riots going up all over Middle East with Yemen the latest to join in and now I just read this, an 6.8 magnitude earthquake out in eastern Myanmar.. So what can we make from all these? The world is going to end? 2012 is really coming.. Hey, if 2012 is really coming I won't mind quitting my course now and go out to the world for sight seeing before I'm dead.. =p

To me, the world world will never end.. Come on, it's been here for 5 billion years, it will be for another 5 billion more.. What will probably end is the human species.. Our planet has a habit of getting rid things that have been here for too long.. Example?? Dinosaurs.. Hey, humans have not been here that long!! Hello!! We have been speeding up our process of getting extinct.. Pollution, war, development, destruction.. Dinosaurs didn't do any of those but here we are doing all those that's destroying the earth.. Not knowing we're destroying ourselves..

Another way to see it is us humans love stopping mutation.. U see, when one species is facing extinction, what does it?? Mutate.. Evolve.. Roaches and lizards have done that over millions of years.. Yet for us, when we see a mutation, a different, we say its genetically related, we cure it, we stop it.. It's different, we can't accept different.. How do we know that the changes that we are preventing could be the very thing that save us in the future?? Now I know many of u would think "Hey, your studying the very thing that is against what your saying here" Yeah, probably I'm a hypocrite but it's my two cents.. =)

Regardless, personal opinion, I seriously don't think mankind will end in 2012.. It'll end one day but not next year.. However a major change might occur that will wake us up.. Probably 2012 will be the final warning for us.. So many signs have been given to us.. If we fail to wake up, then we are really heading towards to our doom.. God saves us all, God give us strength to face the challenges that we are going through every day.. AMEN!! =)

Holiday!!!

2011-03-20T09:42:00.000-07:00

ITZ HOLIDAYS PPL!!!!

Well, for me it is.. Haha.. Really taking this time to rest up and prepare myself for the next 2 systems before I straight kaboom to finals.. T.T Nevertheless, that can worry itself later.. (except for the fact that my CNS results will be out in about 16 hours.. Oh, that's not helping at all..)

So how did I kicked start my holidays?? To IPOH of course.. Now, Penang is not the only place with great food.. Ipoh and Melaka are other places too.. And as said in the last sentence, it was an eating spree + a bit of sight seeing.. Well, I was the driver so I was seeing all the time.. LOL!!

Waking up 4.30am was probably not the most ideal way to start your holidays.. But it pays off if u get to enjoy the rest of the day.. Act I'm still feeling the effects of it.. Haha.. Went to a few main places to eat.. Had dim sum, white coffee, yong tau foo, tau fu fa and chicken tauge.. Plus had a very early starter in Sungai Bakap.. Dunno how to pronounce it but I sure do know what izit (and how to get there now) Haha..

Overall the trip was great.. It's been awhile since I went out like that with my buddies.. And it was a good blend of ppl also.. With the Silent Killer, the Long John, the Lame Joker, Miss 511 and others.. Haha.. Now everyone seems to be having names.. Luckily I don't have one yet, I hope.. XD

So how about the rest of the holidays?? Er.. Eat, sleep, watch TV, online.. And yeah, my SSM.. Crap.. Need to start soon or not I'll be totally regretting later.. And also a double birthday celebration for my dad and my bro.. A camp to attend just before my holiday ends.. And last but not least catching up with all my frens who are around in S'ban.. LOL

More updates to come... =)

WATCH OUT!!

2011-03-19T11:10:00.001-07:00

UPDATE COMING SOON!! SINCE IT'S MY HOLIDAYS I'M GOING TO BLOG BLOG BLOG!!! XD

Hospital Posting

2011-02-28T09:58:00.000-08:00

"Patient is a 65 year old female who came in with complains of swelling below the knee for one month and high fever for the past 2 days. History taking shows that she has...."

Yup, that's practically what I'm going through for most of the days last week and again this week.. I'm currently in my 2 week introductory hospital posting in SP and thou it's fun and interesting, it's very tiring and the doctors there really know how to make u look stupid.. @.@ I kinda am annoyed with myself cause I can't answer anything the clinicians ask.. Or it'll be some half baked answer and the doctor will be doing an eye roll.. So yeah, u so have to buck up JASON TAN SENG HONG!!!

And hospital people are really no pushovers.. I mean when u enter, u r like an ant compare to those out there.. And the administration don't really give a two hoots about u either.. Take last week for example.. We met with this surgeon who I think is a bit racist.. Well, he seems to find fault with everyone's dressing.. My friend's brown formal shoe also kena kutuk like it was the biggest sin on Earth.. And the best thing is we can't do shit.. Cause as I said, ur a nobody in the hospital.. If our lecturers can't do anything, what more can we? So yeah, have to learn to this new political environment.. Sighs.. When will this ever end? Oh yeah that are also those who don't care about ur feelings and all.. I mean how would u like it if ppl start calling u names over and over again in a establishment? Welcome to Malaysia people, where name calling is a joke for many but the one who is being teased.. =S

On a happier note, I can to see lots of patients and cases.. At least now I know what an inguinal hernia or a SLE patient looks like.. And I've definitely learned a lot.. Just wondering how is that going well with my tiny brain.. =p

Mega Cultural Night was somewhat a success.. We had sad lighting and sound system, but the performances were awesome.. Kudos to all those who have put in their time and effort to bring that event to a success.. =)

My CF Retreat is coming this Friday.. Followed by many other events like AIMST Pre-Clinical Quiz, AIMST Amazing Race + Fear Factor and AIMST Hosteller's Night.. Wow.. I'm going to be sooooo drained by the time April is over.. Mind u the last 3 events are in April, in the space of 2 weeks.. T.T

Nothing else much to update.. Just waiting for the holidays to come.. The final 2 weeks break that is before I struggle all the way to my finals.. Why oh why my final break is only 3 weeks??? *ponders about it*

Nights.. XD

CA Over, what's next?

2011-02-19T00:05:00.001-08:00

It's been nearly a month since my last post.. Wait, it's already a month.. What the..

Blame it on my busy schedule and poor internet connection in AIMST.. Seriously has those WiFi users any sense of humanity in them? When u keep on using ur ADSL WiFi Routers, it clashes with the uni's IP Address and thus destroying the internet line for almost everyone except the users.. So to those who are using it, THROW IT AWAY!! Or I'll help u do it!! XD

4th assessment of Year 2 just finished yesterday.. And for the first time in a very long time I really fear I can fail the paper.. Whatever I studied didn't come out, and those I could barely remember did.. So yeah, my fault for not putting much effort into it.. And yet I thank the Lord for showing to me that life is still full of bumpy roads, I'll take this setback to push on further.. Who knows maybe I'll score A for the next two systems.. *syok sendiri*

My hospital posting is starting tomorrow but won't be going cause I'M IN SEREMBAN NOW!!! Haha.. Only for 2 days then I'm back.. Really looking forward to it because it's something new to me, and it could be very interesting.. Probably will get to see some really rare cases after all, if there's any.. =)

Nothing much to update.. Just going to get busy again.. Planning for the Hosteller's Night, getting involved in both the Mega Cultural Night and CF Retreat and not to mention all those electives assignments, presentations and lastly, my Special Study Module (SSM).. A really deserved 6 weeks to catch up on all those, recharge my batteries and give a final push towards the finals..

Till the next update.. =)

1st week of CNS and I see an ass.. XD

2011-01-09T09:50:00.000-08:00

So I have done 18 lectures, 2 clinical skill sessions, 1 ADH and 1 lab session.. That's pretty much my first week of the CNS.. Crazy maybe an understatement for last week.. Classes from 8am to 5pm.. Not to mention my in betweens like paying the fees.. That one cost me the first anat class of the year.. Cuz got stucked in the bank for an hour.. -.-" Oh well, now I'm getting the real taste of MBBS.. LOL!!

That aside, it has been pretty much a dull affair here in Farmer's River.. Haha.. Went out to HotMas on Thurs with my beloved.. Still gotta say the food there is totally awesome and worth it.. U don't get a large piece of chicken maryland for only RM9.50.. XD Another memorable date with her.. Haha.. Maybe the last one for this system as the workload is piling.. Oh, did I mention I had an anatomy assignment??!! That's a first way.. What the heck..

CF retreat got postponed.. A bummer.. I'm still going Ipoh on Fri for the 1st FT Weekend 2011.. It'll be my first after since I entered AIMST.. It'll be so great to meet up with those people again.. I remember what happened last time round.. Haha.. XD And HILLSONGS IS COMING TO IPOH AGAIN!!! XD

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp%3Ffile%3D%252F2011%252F1%252F7%252Fnorth%252F7733587%26sec%3DNorth&h=d3fd2

Totally awesome right? In a stadium some more.. Who cares if they make a brief appearance? The thing is that God is really working something in Malaysia.. Open Christmas event in a stadium and inviting one of the most renown Christian bands to perform live? Seriously, if God is working a miracle, let us then be His humble servants and help the cause.. Praise be to God!!

Well, that's all from me now.. Hopefully I can go for the concert cum celebrations.. Hehe.. Good night world.. =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!

2011-01-02T05:03:00.000-08:00

Hello 2011!!

OK, I'm late like 2 days but who cares.. It's still young in the year.. And before we all know it, 2012 comes along.. Haha.. But let's leave that till Dec'11.. For now, let us enjoy the year ahead.. =)

I'm back in AIMST again.. LOL!! To some ppl, yes, my holiday is really really short.. In fact, my finals break will be only 3 weeks.. So yeah, kinda sucks but no choice when ur in the line.. Hehe.. Part of me is glad to be back cause I get to go back to studying the thing I love.. And also can to c her.. Hehe.. Part of me just wanna stay at home, sleep whole day, play Dota and yam cha.. LOL!!

So usually people always make new year resolutions don't there? And we probably break the same number of resolutions that we make.. LOL!! So what's mine u all may ask?? None I guess.. To me, why make a resolution for a year only? Why not make one every month? Or every week? Like not procrastinate, be a better BF, a better son, worship God more, etc? So yeah, no resolutions for me, I'll be trying to improve myself daily..Hehe..

New Year in S'ban was kinda boring, no fireworks, no celebrations, no nothing.. Cutting budget I think.. So yeah, all I get to see was personal fireworks.. The one that goes bang, boom for 30secs and that's that.. LOL!! So was a modest 2011 so far for me.. Not for long thou, with the new CNS system coming up in my medicine studies, I'll be busy as a bee.. Or worse.. Haha..

So there u have it.. Nothing much to update.. And probably not much in the future as I begin classes again.. Hopefully the next update is not so far in the future.. LOL!!

An end to 2010..

2010-12-30T09:24:00.000-08:00

Finally the last day of 2010 has arrived.. And it's with great sorrow and joy that I bid farewell to 2010.. Sorrow cause well, there are somethings which I wish I could do but couldn't.. Joy? Oh simple, always look forward towards the future.. XD

So many things happened in 2010.. So many happy and sad memories.. So many trials, struggles, victories and accomplishments.. So much things to pen down but I think my memory is failing me.. Gosh, I sound like im 200 than 20.. Hehe.. Last time round I did a month to month summary.. This time I guess I'm just going to highlight a few points that has really brought the real meaning of the year to me.. =)

FIRST - GOD

Coming to AIMST was probably the best God-guided decision I have ever made in my entire life.. I met new people, people who were so devoted to God, people who really touched my life and really brought me back to Him.. I wasn't a devoted Christian.. I belief in God and all He has done but as to serving Him, helping Him to expand His kingdom I was close to zero.. In AIMST, I met people who really inspired me.. People like Thomson, Victor, Anna, Gloria and so many more, people who I look up to and I'm "WOW, those are great people!" And it's those people that brought me closer to God, that help me grow deeper for Him, to work for Him, to accomplish for Him.. And for that, I am really thankful that this year, it has been one great experience.. =)

SECOND - FAMILY

My family has gone through a lot over the years.. Many secrets that I shall not reveal here, they will probably go down with me.. =) And again I thank God for looking after my family, pulling us through 1 more year.. And to my family, my Dad, Mum and Nelson.. A big thank you to you all.. I can never repay all of your kindness, your sacrifices for me.. Especially my parents, to sponsor me to uni is a big task.. That is one thing I can never never top up..

THIRD - HER =)

At the end of February I got into a relationship with this wonderful, cute, amazing girl in my batch.. She's everything that I've ever wanted.. It was like she was tailored for me.. Hehe.. And I nearly lost her once, because of my attitude, because of my behavior.. And I promise never to repeat that same mistake that has nearly cost my relationship.. 10months have now gone between us and things with us are so much better.. Thank you darling for always being there for me, helping me through all the troubles I'm in and for loving me for who I am (minus the flaws.. XD) I really hope that this love can go on forever for I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!! BLEK!!

FOURTH - FRIENDS

I made a lot of new friends in campus, strengthen old ones and cherished the lost ones.. My friends are my one source of joy, happiness and comfort.. And the many memories with this bunch of people are the ones that keep my belief in them.. I'm grateful for all of them, for those who helped me, for those who advised and guided me.. Thank you all.. =)

FIFTH - PASSING MY FINALS AND OTHER EXAMS =)

This goes without saying that it's one of the highlights of the year.. Medicine is a tough course and if you don't strive, you will not succeed.. Thus I thank God, my family, my darling and my friends for guiding and helping me through the toughest times of my life.. And passing it is one thing, getting some good results is another.. Everything that has happen is a blessing.. And with this I shall move forward and achieve my dream to be a doctor.. XD

SIXTH - FUN

Thank you 2010 for all the memorable memories I have, all the fun I had with family and friends.. CF Retreat, my huge birthday celebration, Genting and Penang trips, dates with my darling, outings and randomness with those people.. Haha.. All those are cherish-able memories locked in my brain forever.. =D

SEVENTH - FOR EVERYTHING ELSE

Like I said, my memory is failing me.. There are probably 365 different things to write down and I can remember like 20-30 of them.. Haha.. So for all those things that are missing from here, I just wannna say THANK YOU!!! Whatever you are.. (lameness to the max wei.. another thing I picked up this year.. LOL)

So that's probably the summary for one entire year.. Ain't going to start writing an essay here.. Haha.. So this is Jason, signing off from a great year and eagerly awaiting the coming one.. In about 22 hours that is.. Hehe.. ^^

Christmas, a day of worship or a day of indulgence?

2010-12-28T07:28:00.000-08:00

Well, I was looking at some random stuff in facebook today.. U know, the usual, photos, comments and some playing the same old FB games.. Hehe.. And i've been stumbling upon something that many people would think of it as nothing.. But to me, I feel something was not right somewhere..

OK, let me start with the word Christmas.. OK, this word itself brings many interpretation to different people.. Some people will take it as another holiday, others a day for parties and relaxing and to some as the joyous celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour.. =)

And thus the topic on Christmas begins.. XD And yeah, I know Christmas has been over for a days, so why I'm posting this up now? I don't know.. Random? A sudden urge? A tuck in my tummy? Can't answer..

Now Christmas as Christians know it is the birth of Jesus Christ.. Of course this is not His real DOB, or so I am told.. According to my pastor, he said the Eastern Orthodox church states the real DOB of Jesus Christ is somewhere around 6-7th Jan, but again I'm not sure.. So we all know how he was born and how the stories go.. In a manger in Bethlehem.. My friend posted up a very good story, here's the link.. Go read it if u all have the time.. =) http://mysayfortoday.blogspot.com/2010/12/no83-merry-christmas.html

As I was saying, it is a joyous celebration.. Now, in the internet I bumped into pictures of people getting drunk, or posting up saying they are drunk, etc.. Now I was wondering to myself, it's Christmas.. OK, it's normal for us to have a relaxing time, taking it easy, attend parties.. I mean I do that myself, but after what I've been through I felt something was not right somewhere.. I mean at least I don't drunk myself crazy.. However, some people felt it was alright to do so.. Drowning themselves in the joy that this world has to offer, the bad side that is..

Now here I am thinking, is it right? Is this how we celebrate the joyous day in Christian's life? Mind u, these are the same people who go to church every week and worship the Lord (or so I think , I really hope they do).. I can't help but noticing that all this is wrong.. My pastor told me once that most of us are hypocrites, if not all of us.. True enough.. One day we go to church, sing praises to Lord, listen to the sermon, say Amen and be gone with our ways.. The other 6 days? We do things that is wrong, etc.. And I have even one person telling me, "Look, you can't even come to the party? To give face to people? What's so great about the church anyway?" Well, FYI I attended my church's dinner instead of a Christmas party.. I wasn't going to argue, no, I didn't even wanted.. These people have openly challenge God, so they'll face judgement from the Almighty..

In short, I'm not against all those parties or what.. But I was telling myself, even if we wanna to indulge ourselves in this 'joy', may we do it in modesty.. Don't go drunk on the eve and then can't wake up for Christmas service the next day.. To me, I live by this principle, if we can have all the time in the world to eat, sleep, game, party, why can't we have sometime with God? May we be reminded of the true reason for Christmas, not take it as another festival where we can lose ourselves.. God bless us all.. =)

1 week gone, another to come.. =)

2010-12-26T10:07:00.000-08:00

And how have your Christmas been people? =)

Once again, another year bids us goodbye, while another is going to say hello.. 2010 is leaving, 2011 is coming.. And well, I guess the next post after this will be about my summary of the year 2010.. Hehe

The 1st week of my holidays is pretty quiet.. OK, not that quiet since my relatives came down for a week but pretty boring as in I was on the lappie most of the time? LOL!! I really need to find a better way to spend my life instead of sitting in front of my laptop 24/7.. Haha.. Hopefully this week will be better since i'm having tons of yam cha sessions.. LOL!!

Apart from that, I haven't started my Special Study Module (SSM).. What in the world is this u might ask?? Say it's another fancy word for assignment.. Haha.. Basically we do a report, dunno how long about things that we probably won't learn in medical school.. It doesn't have to be medically related, it's just a study/survey/experiment on stuff that you like.. LOL!! And what am I interested in? Male menopause.. Wakaka.. Something rather interesting, since it might affect me in the future!! Haha!! Probably will post it up once I'm done.. XD

So very little update from me.. Actually a lot but I'm lazy to type it out.. Plus most of them are personal, if it's not me, it's my friends, family, etc.. So until the next post.. =)

3 systems down, WTH!!

2010-12-19T04:44:00.000-08:00

It's holidays people!!! TEEHEE!!!!

Well, I got back from AIMST yesterday and Seremban hasn't change one bit.. OK, the new Tesco Extra is running, the building near T2 has gotten taller and er.. Nothing else? Oh yeah, that old abandoned building in Kemayan Square has been cleaned, guess NS is dead serious about getting that city status.. Haha.. Until those 2 buildings go together with the Aedes pond, it'll be a long way.. XD

I was looking back at the year, 2 more weeks before the year ends, before 2010 bids goodbye and 2011 makes its appearance.. In 4 months since my 2nd year began I've completed 3 systems namely Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Gastrointestinal.. 3 systems in 4 months!! 3 freaking exams together with an extra uni paper in 4 months!! WTH!!! It's like time passes by super fast.. Now I'm halfway done with 2nd year, the next system going to be Central Nervous System.. Gosh, 18 lectures in the first week itself; I'm going to go bonkers..

That aside, things for me has been pretty good lately.. My relationship is improving.. Had a nice date with her before I went back, it was birthday.. So HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DARLING!!! BLEK!! Things around campus has improved too.. Slowly I can see changes coming about in campus, hopefully this won't stop.. Serving God is always a joy.. The Christmas night was held in my campus, a first wei.. Hopefully that is a sign of salvation into my campus.. XD And the CF Retreat is coming up in Jan, followed by a few events like Hosteller's Night and Mega Cultural Night.. Going to be busy busy busy.. In the CNS system.. Wat the... -.-"

Back home, my relatives came down for a week.. My bro is missing thou, off to camp.. His results are coming out, I'm more nervous than he is.. Haha.. AND, I GOT A NEW HANDPHONE!!! Well, not that new actually, it's a second hand from my cousin, but who cares.. A major upgrade compared to my old one..

INTRODUCING THE SONY ERICSSON W890i

Yup, that's my new toy for now.. 3.2megapixel camera, 9hours talk time, 3G, up to 4GB memory; it pretty much have everything that I wanted.. Best thing is it's free!! XD So yeah, I'm like a young boy given some new toy.. Yeah yeah, bunch of u are thinking i'm a hypocrite right now as I always condemn SE, but hey, when it's free u gotta take it.. Still not changing my stance thou, NOKIA FOR LIFE!! XD

That's enough wordy updates for now.. Time to hit some Dota, FIFA 11 and catch up on some series I've been missing.. So as they say, EXIT, STAGE RIGHT!! Chao ppl!! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! XD

after a month..

2010-11-19T11:19:00.000-08:00

Wow, I can't believe it's been more than a month since my last post.. I guess this blog is really dying.. Actually, I have so many things to type out, but I'm just so oh lazy.. What to do, getting internet here is also a drag, dah lah my room 1.5 years no internet, the admin pulak buat tak tau until I really made noise last week.. Hopefully things will be resolved by this month.. XD

On studies, nothing much.. Finish Respiratory System exam, now starting Gastrointestinal System.. One after another, only been 3 months and I have done 2 exams and my 3rd is coming in a month time.. Sometimes I wonder why did I enter into this course? Then I say to myself, "Shut up Jason, this is what you wanted your whole life, you practically cried over it" *yeah, I did* So here I am, learning medical stuff, which is pretty awesome at times.. As in it really intrigues you how the body functions and how great is our God, for He created us to the finest of details, the greatest creator..

I'm more active in CF now.. More events are coming up and I'm 'in-charge' for 2 of em.. The Christmas Night and the CF Retreat Camp.. Somehow coming to AIMST has really improve my spiritual maturity.. Of course I'm still way off but compare when I was back in secondary school, I would say I'm more active now than ever.. And it was all down to that one faithful rainy day, when my friend Mei-Dree 'drag' me to the church, SPCC, even thou it was raining cats and dogs.. If she hasn't done that, I would probably back slided in AIMST like so many others.. So thanks Mei!!

So many other things pen up.. My relationship has its ups and downs.. I know I'm not the type of boy that you want and I probably can never be that kind of person.. I always have flaws and I always screw things up.. I just wanna thank you for being patient with me, putting up with my nonsense.. I just want you to know that I love you very much and I really hope things will just get better for us in the future.. Especially after a few events.. =)

So I guess that's all for now, 3am ady.. Time to hit the sacks.. Good night world!! God bless!! =)

WHO recognises MBBS programme at AMIST University

October 16, 2010

SUNGAI PETANI, Oct 16 – The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree programme offered by AIMST University has received recognition from the World Health Organisation (WHO) which monitored the programme over the past three years.

Its chancellor, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, said the university received the recognition letter on Thursday, which stated that AIMST University was now listed as one of WHO’s recognised universities.

He said the recognition would also enable the university’s MBBS graduates to pursue studies overseas at a higher level.

“This university will also conduct more research to create new opportunities and improve its level of education.

“We will also appoint more experienced lecturers because AIMST University has so far, been accepted as a university for all in Kedah,” he told reporters after attending the university’s third convocation here today.

Samy Vellu said the university would also offer four post-graduate programmes, namely Masters of Science (MSc) in Anatomy, MSc Physiology, Msc Biochemistry and Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Healthcare Management in the near future.

He said the programmes would be introduced with the aim of producing more young lecturers in the fields to fulfill the needs of local universities.

Samy Vellu said for MBA in Healthcare Management, focus would be given to lure individuals from the health sector, especially those serving in hospitals and pharmacies, to improve themselves to become administrator.

Besides, he said, the university was also in the midst of getting approval to implement a degree course in nursing and physiotherapy.

To date, AIMST University has produced over 1,000 graduates in various fields, especially medicine, and currently has over 2,000 local and foreign tudents, including those from Vietnam, Somalia and Nigeria. – Bernama

Something interesting I found on my friend's blog that I've decided to share with you all.. I think it kinds of most relationship issues that's going on today.. =p Long story short, basically a guy's and gal's point of view of an incident..

Her Side of the Story

He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit late but he didn’t say anything much about it.

I don’t remember doing anything to make him upset, but I could tell there was something wrong. The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately.

We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I was getting really worried, what did I do? What was bothering him? Was he mad at me?

I tried to cheer him up, but started to wonder what was bothering him. Was it me or something else? I asked him if he was upset with me, and he said “No”.

But I wasn’t really sure.

So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I said that I love him, and he just put his arm around me! I didn’t know what the hell that meant because, you know, he doesn’t say it back or anything.

We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to break up with me! Why didn’t he want to talk about this? So I tried to ask him about it, but he just switched on the TV. Why would he rather watch TV than talk to me?

Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to sleep, hoping he would get the hint that I was upset and wanted to talk. I was so hurt that he was out there watching TV while I was in here going through emotional turmoil.

Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and we had sex.

I thought that maybe he would open up after we shared an intimate experience like that, but he still seemed really distracted. So afterward, I just wanted to leave because I was so upset, but I just cried myself to sleep.

He didn’t even notice how upset I was! I don’t know, I just don’t know what he thinks anymore. I don’t know what to feel anymore. I’m on emotional overload. I’m so confused. I don’t think he loves me anymore.

Why does he have to play mind games with me? I mean, do you think he’s met someone else???

His Side of the Story

MU lost. Felt kinda tired. Got laid though.

You make the conclusions.. XD

Where politics begin..

2010-10-08T00:52:00.000-07:00

Well, I have lots to blog about but just no time to pen it down.. Well, today I've finally decided to do one of my blog entries that has been bugging me for quite some time.. It's something called politics..

Now before u all going to say "Oh gosh, here's M'sia politics again", let me clarify that this time it's about university politics.. Yes, the politics at my university.. I'm pretty sure most of the unis in Malaysia have their student council elections rite? And of course everyone wants to win, nobody likes to lose.. Well, here at my uni, I finally saw for real how dirty politics can get..

There were 2 teams having a go at each other.. One was my friend's team, their members carefully selected.. The other a team which was hastily formed to counter my friend's team.. So it was a typical Malaysian style politic for you, banners of "VOTE FOR ME" around the cafe (and other places), manifestos and of course the dirtier side of politics.. What I meant by dirtier side is not that both the team were killing each other or what.. To me, both of the groups were having rather clean politics.. It was more of the supporters who were having a go at each other..

The day of the election came and the opposite team won, with the president winning a landslide victory.. Post-election shows 2-3 reasons why my friend's team lost..

1) There were just too many people who didn't wanted my friend.. U know what happens when u dun want BN and just vote the opposition? Same case here, but at least from what I know the winning team are really down to business.. At least that's a positive sign. =)

2) Majority of the people who know/supported my friend never really went to vote.. Gave excuses like lazy, line to long, go class whole day.. Bunch of lame excuses if you ask me.. The voter turn out was below 40%.. And to me, if you want to vote, you'll vote no matter how cramp your schedule is.. Sadly, my generation don't really see the importance of it.. Don't have to go far, a simple evaluation of lecturers is sometimes very difficult to conduct due to that attitude..

3) The election, in my opinion, was conducted rather poorly.. There was not much information about the location and time of the election.. I only knew about it in the afternoon prior to the day of the election.. So much emphasis was placed on the candidates that the EC simply forgot about mentioning the date and venue like a few days earlier.. Furthermore, many students who were eligible to vote were either away or having hospital classes or in Alor Setar.. So there's your majority of your voters..

Now, this is the 3rd Student Council Election in my university and I'm rather surprised by the whole process.. Even until now, some people are still talking about it even thou it's been like 2 weeks since the election..

However, there's one thing that I saw that totally confirm my opinion that politics in the uni is just same as in the country.. A very degrading video was posted about my friend in Facebook.. So degrading that a police investigation was required.. Now, it's only a uni level election but do you see the connection? We've been train from young to back stab each other, to 'kill' off each other and thus this is what you get at the national elections.. A very sad scenario indeed.. Remember the phrase "Don't point a finger at anyone, cause 3 fingers will be pointed back at you"? To whoever who did that, you know who you are.. God know who you are.. And believe me, God don't take this things lightly.. Something will happen, maybe not now but something will.. I won't be surprise if one day somebody is hand-cuffed by the police in my uni..

So that's the end of one of my many ramblings I have installed for you people.. Many more but I have to pick them carefully, as some matters are still ongoing while some has been resolved and it's best that we forget about them.. CHEERS!! =D

Coming soon....

2010-09-26T10:54:00.000-07:00

So many things to update, but with my busy 2nd year life, I guess I can only do it after my Cardiovascular System CA.. That's coming this Thursday.. Only 3 days left and I still haven't really study.. Oh gosh.. So.....

WATCH THIS SPACE TO DEVELOP AFTER FRIDAY!!

Another glory to God!!

Robbery victim can sit for UPSR in hospital

SEREMBAN: The Year Six pupil, who suffered serious injuries when he was slashed on the head by robbers, can sit for his UPSR examinations at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital here.

The assurance came when state Education Department officers visited Thoo Jia Wei and his family yesterday.

Jia Wei’s aunt, who did not wish to be identified, said even the headmaster of SJKC Sin Hua had given the family a similar assurance when he visited him on Tuesday.

“Jia Wei is already on the road to recovery and was transferred from the intensive care unit to a normal ward yesterday morning.

“He has started speaking and our hope is that he will be discharged by then (before the exams),” she said.

The victim, his 46-year-old mother and 15-year-old brother were asleep in their bedrooms when the robbers armed with parang broke into their double-storey terrace house through the back door early Monday.

The robbers fled after searching the house for valuables, leaving behind two parang. Three more parang, a blood-stained glove and a green T-shirt believed to be left behind by one of the robbers were also found nearby.

It was a great relieved to hear that the boy has awoken from his coma and is now in a normal ward. The good thing is that he doesn't seem to be suffering from any memory lost and it won't be long for him to be discharged from the hospital.

This is really the work of the great healer and I am sure He has plans, big plans for this young boy in the future.. And I really hope the people behind this would be caught and be brought to justice so they may never harm another again!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Boy in a coma after being slashed by robbers

SEREMBAN: An 11-year-old boy who was to sit for his UPSR examination later this month is fighting for his life after being slashed by robbers at his home in Taman Ujong near here.

The boy, who suffered head injuries in the 4.30am incident yesterday, is in a coma at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital intensive care unit.

It is learnt that the victim, his 46-year-old mother and 15-year-old brother were asleep in a bedroom upstairs when five masked men armed withparang broke into their double-storey terrace house through the back door and woke them.

“The victim, who screamed on seeing the robbers, was slashed on the head in anger by one of them,” said a police spokesman, adding that his mother was prevented from shouting for help when one robber placed aparang on her other son’s neck.

“The men then tied the hands and legs of the woman and the elder son before searching the house for valuables,” he said, adding that the robbers fled the scene half an hour later.

Among the items found in the house were five parang, a blood-stained glove and a green T-shirt.

The victim’s 46-year-old father, who wished to be identified only as Toh, said he was away on business in Rembau during the incident.

The above news appeared at the 3rd page of today's The Star newspaper.. And here's the thing, that boy so happens to be my church member.. Imagine the shocked that my entire family got when we found that out.. It was disheartening, saddening and of course, terrifying.. A young boy, with a great future ahead of him, fights for his dear life in the ICU.

The family devastated, the church members shocked, the public probably outraged.. And yet, with all odds stacked against the boy, he has awoken from his comatose state and is now sitting upright in the ICU.

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GREAT HEALING HANDS HAS SAVED THE BOY'S LIFE!!

The Lord will never let harm come onto his people and this is another testimony to His wonder. The boy was fighting for dear life 24 hours ago and now he has made a recovery. Although he is still in the ICU, I'm positive he'll recover soon enough, seeing he still can recognize his parents. Let us all continue to uphold this boy in prayer while also praying that justice will be served to those robbers.. Everything will be fine, yes, I know everything will be fine.. =)

Random updates..

This is a very good article from a younger generation and a great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman. A very well expressed opinion of how all Malaysians should be treated.

IF THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR YOUNGER GENERATION IN MALAYSIA , YOU WILL BE BLESSED.

Sharyn completed her Diploma in Advertising from Taylor's College, and then left motherland to pursue her BA degree majoring in Media Studies and Anthropology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. While waiting for her graduation in May 08, she interned briefly at M&C Saatchi Wellington, a global advertising firm. Upon returning to Malaysia, jobless and relieved of rent payments, Sharyn stumbled upon Wild Asia through The Star which sparked her interest to learn more about nature and environmental causes. Armed with a communications background, Sharyn works on the Wild Asia website and editorial, translating geek terms into laymen language, easily accessed and understood by visitors regardless of their backgrounds, be it scientific, business, the arts or just plain interested.

By The Tunku's Great Granddaughter

This is a great piece. She has all the qualities of her great grandfather. Tunku has reason to be proud of her!

Tunku Abdul Rahman's great granddaughter

Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan, 24, Conservationist

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

MERDEKA

HELP!!!!

Ipoh...

2010-08-16T02:30:00.000-07:00

Came back from Ipoh on Saturday.. It was a very nice trip indeed.. The purpose that I went up there was to attend the Hillsong's concert at Syuen Hotel, Ipoh.. Haha.. Mission accomplished! Or partly only as I was at the concert for only 2 hours.. Can't complaint much since I was not the driver.. LOL!!

Also we (me, Wen Shan and Kenny) went up to Cameron Highlands.. It was just for the sake of going up I guess, haha.. Sadly, Cameron is no longer as cold as it used to be.. 25 degrees.. I'm like WTH!! It rained thou, so that at least make up for the not so cold weather earlier on.. Hehe..

Not to mention that I met a few new friends.. All thanks to Kenny and Wen Shan.. Met people like Hoho (i think that's his name, LOL!!) Vern, Kah Ling, David.. Very nice people, very random people also.. Haha.. Not to mention some of them are very well to do.. =S God really blesses those who follow Him truly.. =)

*stares at the calendar, next Monday class begins.. sigh..*

A second chance..

2010-08-09T09:44:00.000-07:00

I always wonder can u restart something that u just have restarted.. Of course I don't mean computer stuff.. I basically mean about life, studies, relationship, etc

I am a person who is firm by my decision.. I rarely waver.. That's how I got into med school to begin with.. However, I also belief that everyone should get a second chance, may it be your friends, relatives, the druggie outside your doorsteps.. And I guess when it comes to choosing the two, it becomes a really tough decision..

I was put into that situation recently.. I had to decide whether to stick to my choice or to give that person a second chance.. On one hand, I felt I shouldn't waver.. On the other, I felt vulnerable.. It got me thinking for weeks.. After all we've been through, can I really go through it again?? Is it possible??

I guess I will have to find out for I have chosen the latter.. And I'm sure more than ever that I have made the right choice.. Thank you for giving me a second chance, I'm sure things will work out.. And work out it will.. =)

God works wonders!

2010-08-09T09:32:00.000-07:00

Well, one thing leads to another and as I said, everything happens for a reason right?? Today a few things happened that really affirms my trust in God..

Lately, an untoward incident has occurred to my family.. What supposedly was sweet in the end became sour and bitter to swallow.. A deal that went bad, people who went back against their word and above all, to be blamed for everything.. And here is where I worship Him, Him above all who has guided my family over the years and will forevermore.. For only through His grace and glory and wisdom that we're fighting back the evil; fighting against all odds in order to protect ourselves..

Ever occurred to u when u wanted to do something but u have some doubts, something pops along just to let u know, "Hey, let's just continue with it k?".. The same thing happened.. And I am positive, it was the voice of God that has helped us to go through all the circumstances that has befall upon us.. So I pray that everything will be alright and this event can be put to rest once and for all..

Also, another interesting story I would like to share is that my mum was suppose to attend a church meeting in the morning.. Thing is she thought it was night.. Even the whole family thought it was night.. Somehow or rather, my dad decided to call up the Pastor who was away for no reason really.. And he just asked, "So the meeting is tonight?" and the Pastor replied, "It's in the morning!" So there u have it, have not my dad called the Pastor, my mum would have thought the meeting is at night and she would have missed it.. Another working from God?? God works in mysterious ways, we will never understand it but whether we believe it or not, it's a different issue.. And I am for one to vouch that I truly belief in Him, in whatever the situation..

Praise the Lord for guiding me, my family, my friends and all the people on this planet.. Praise Him forever.. Amen!

The end of all things good..

Well, this week has been one hectic but fun and crazy week for me.. Yup, after all the planning, toiling, obstacles and challenges; my AIMST friends managed to come down to Seremban.. Haha.. 5 days they were here, 5 days that went by so totally fast.. Time flies when your having fun; thus I conclude time slows down when u r not having fun.. XD

The 6 who made it were Adrian, Thurini, Hooi Yim, Shamineey, Nicole and John.. Well, John came on Tuesday afternoon, the others Monday night.. Haha.. Had great fun with this random bunch of people.. Went jalan-jalan in Seremban on Tuesday together with Eric, A Famosa and Melaka on Wednesday where we were joined by Betty and Faisal and finally to Midvalley and KL where we met Jit Kin, Kang Wei, Chia Wen, Yi Cheng, Diing Sheng and Joey.. Also not forgetting my parents and my younger bro who were in the mix for most of the trip.. Friday was more of a relaxing day where we end up in Port Dickson before they all went back at night to Penang..

It was like soooo fun.. All the things that we did, playing Mafia, Donkey, pillow fights and the oh so randomness of tricking Adrian that we're going Genting.. Haha, sorry bro! =) And when they left, haiz.. The place suddenly felt soooo empty.. No more noises, no more shoes lying around, no more jumping on the bed to wake people up.. =( All good things have to come to an end; but u know when u get sooooo accustomed to the care-free life, u wished it did stay like that forever..

So to all my friends who came, thank you.. At least u all made my holiday and I'm sure I made yours.. Until the next random trip to somewhere else, I'll be sitting at home and growing moss.. Pictures better be up.. XD

Salvation is here!!!

Police forum..

2010-08-01T07:00:00.000-07:00

Attended a forum between police and residents yesterday.. First time attending such a thing.. Thought would be boring at first but at least I managed to increase my general knowledge about common stuff.. Furthermore, the OCPD of Seremban is a real joker.. Can really crack jokes, not to mention he can speak at least 4-5 languages.. Cool!! XD

Well, here I am to share a few things that most of us (including myself) didn't know..

1) If a unfamiliar and suspicious person enter your area, like say Taman, and if u r an RT member; u have the right to ask him "What the hell are u doing here?" If he ignores u, u can call the cops immediately.. It seems this is the Rakyat's rights.. (didn't know got such right also.. LOL!!)

2) Police can enter your house without a warrant.. This country ain't like Hong Kong, US or UK where a warrant is needed.. All they need is somebody with the rank Inspector and that's that, they can enter your house..

3) Say a thief enter's into your house, he was threatening your life and u acted in self-defense, accidentally killing him.. Now I know there's a saying 1 hit is self-defense, 2 hit is murder.. Here, regardless u hit him 100 times, ur still innocent cause u felt threatened.. LOL!!

4) Be careful of nearby syndicates.. Since my readers are mostly from Seremban, here are some new updates.. There's a Chinese syndicate who dress like professionals, drive big cars and come to your house to ask u for directions or something.. Also, there's an Indian syndicate who go from house to house with children, offering peace prayers for your house.. Next is a Malay syndicate who ride on motorbikes, with backpacks and also ask you for directions.. Advice: DON'T LAYAN!!

5) Identifying fake policeman: This no need to be said much, I think we all know how don't we? Plus there was an article about it.. Just a thing or 2, if u want to be sure it's the real deal, u can ask him to show his ID to you.. After that u can take it and ask him some questions like what's his ID Number or what's his rank (got some special rank there) or even if he is married or not (now tat's cool).. If he fails any this, TADAA, he's a fake!!

6) Police do more rounds at your neighborhood than your parents do.. So don't complain "I never see policeman patrolling my area before".. They have a complicated system but every single detail of their patrol is log on.. So if u have any doubts, u can go to the HQ and ask them yourselves.. =p

7) SMS syndicates, phone syndicates.. U know the one that sends you "Taniah, sim card anda telah menang bla bla bla.." shit?? Just ignore it.. Also, there seems to be a new one; now they call you saying that they are from a bank and u got some problem, need to call a number to clarify.. The moment u call that number, u are instantly tranced and then you are blur.. When u come around, u find your savings disappear.. This was a testimony from a guy yesterday.. Sadly, nothing can't be done except to ignore it if u find it suspicious or u don't even have an account with that said bank..

8) On ah longs, some of u might wonder how come the all out war against them has really slowed down and the posters are back up again.. Apparently the police are not in charge to take down the posters, that's for the City Council to do it.. Police only assist them... However, they did say if u find anyone sticking those posters, not the motor vehicle number and give it to the police.. They'll handle it..

Lastly, our police force is very wide awake, they are not sleeping on their jobs.. In fact my respect for them has increased thanks to yesterday's forum.. They really know what's going on, they just need time and for the Rakyat to cooperate with them in these criminal matters..

Another thing I noted was that all the top brass are very well mannered and down to earth people.. They're not arrogant like some of the normal policeman are.. Guess that's why they are the top brass and those arrogant policeman are still normal policeman.. Haha!!

Hopefully those feel things I noted yesterday would help you all in any aspect of your life.. =)

P.S: There are a few more but they are personal things, like threatening, getting police reports, etc and hence they are not put up here.. =)

Youth of our nation

2010-07-30T23:46:00.000-07:00

What is happening to our generation of teenagers in Malaysia?? It pains me to say this but sadly, Malaysia will never become the country she hopes to be with all the shit our teenagers too..

About a few minutes ago, I stumbled across a video where a few girls was fighting each other.. Now this seem to be a daily occurrence in almost everywhere in Malaysia.. Girls and Boys fighting, taking drugs, having sex, doing vices, etc. And this is the generation that is going to lead Boleh Land in the not so distant future.. Oh God, somebody save us all!!

Gangsterism, drug abuse, teenage sex; all happening right before our very eyes and we are helpless to do anything about it.. Touching on teenage sex, about 2 weeks ago an article came out on that topic.. Apparently children as young as 12 years old are already having sex.. One girl was even boasting she had 30 sex partners and she's only 13!! What is going to become of her when she reaches 31??? Not only that, the Melaka state government is now proposing to open a special school for teenagers who are pregnant.. Their reasons??

1) Won't be treated as a social outcast.

2) Don't have to dump the baby.

3) At least the girl can continue her education.

Sounds logical but what about the repercussions? Won't they be stigmatised more? Won't it actually encourage more teenage sex? Think like a teenager; "Now the government is going to support me, so I can have all the sex I want and still be supported by them" Ding Dong, it's not rocket science!! Sex education?? No... Too young for us it seems.. Then some brilliant guy came up with the idea to block off the porn websites.. Yeah, let's see u all do that after all that red tape.. It's nearly impossible..

So back to the topic.. Is there anyway we can do about this?? Basically I see it, family.. If the family doesn't wanna give a damn about the child's future, I figure the child himself wouldn't give a damn about it either.. Or even better, the parents know but turn a blind eye.. This world is becoming so materialistic, even the teenagers are treated as part of the furniture in a house.. How much more are we going to ignore this problem?? How much longer are we going to bluff ourselves saying "It's only the minority??".. The truth is sooooo out there, I just have to step out from house, drive 5 minutes and I see a school full of this problems..

Somebody hear the pleas, somebody hear the cries.. The youth of this nation is going downhill and nobody is giving a damn about them.. It's like a disease, it takes only 1 small virus to cause a catastrophic epidemic.. Argue all u want that developed countries like the US has also similar problem.. Hello??!! Read it, they are freaking developed.. And we??? Relying on petroleum to get us by which will probably be gone in another 10-15 years.. We're heading towards very troubled waters..

God, I present this problem into your hands;

Send revival to Malaysia, open her eyes and let her see the problem;

Through your strength, I pray that this nation will be saved;

Salvation will come to this country and Malaysia will rise for the ashes;

Let the politicians see, let the parents see, let the children themselves see;

With your glory and guidance may we find the strength to set things straight;

And continue to give you all glory and praises that you fully deserve;

I pray all this in Jesus name, AMEN!!

GOD BLESS US ALL!!

A day at the Historical City..

2010-07-27T23:00:00.001-07:00

Wow, it was great to go back to Melaka after ancient of days.. XD Well, more like months.. Haha..

It's thanks to Wen Shan for actually inviting me down.. Thanks bro, owe u one!!

After early delays we finally managed to leave around 11am+.. Finally managed to meet Jingle in person as well as her friend Kit Yan.. Just talked about as we headed for Melaka where we met another 2 friends of WS, Shimron and Rachel.. Then itz a makan spree.. Haha..

Had quite nice Nyonya food with Chendol.. Followed by a walk around Melaka, well itz cheaper and I think much more healthier to walk rite? Haha.. Visited one museum, something with kites and those ancient traditions stuff.. Main agenda -> find an air cond place and boy did we stayed there for sometime.. Haha.. Next we were of to SFI to visit the Chapel.. Met Bro. Michael, it was good seeing him again after a year or so.. Hehe..

Thus next agenda Jonker street.. Well, we been walking for so much that we were all dead tired when we reached Jonker street.. After some window shopping and more chendol, we just head back to Shimron's place before going off for dinner at a nearby mamak (or Pakistani) shop.. Delicious Nan and Ayam Tandoori.. XD

Later on we head to the Pasar Malam at Kampung 8.. Just lepak, eat some more, bought some stuff, etc etc.. (more walking, urg...) And later on to Rachel's place before we head of to the Melaka river.. Well, according to the locals itz more of a giant longkang.. Haha.. Thus after dropping Rachel back home we head back to Seremban, reaching approximately 11.30pm

Oh, the adventure doesn't stop there.. When we were on the way back to WS house, a car was tailing us, and I mean really tailing us.. Scary man.. Luckily it went away and when we try to chase it, it vanished.. Guess lesson of the day: Be very careful of your surroundings..

Thanks to all of u guys and gals who made this trip very fun.. Had great company with u all.. And thank u Shimron for blabbing about Melaka true colours.. Haha.. Very interesting knowledge indeed.. Next agenda: Bringing my penang frens around S'ban-Melaka-KL next week.. XD

P.S. Sadly no pictures were taken, so couldn't show to u all; at least I have the pictures in my memory.. =D

KL after 1 year...

2010-07-24T07:41:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the first time I actually went out after a week.. I was like u gotta be kidding me rite?? But oh well, better than nothing.. Haha..

This time I went to KL.. The idea, well, was to meet up with my KL frens and it was suppose to be a huge (ok, 15 is not huge but I like to megasize it.. XD) gathering with this AIMSTERS (not hamsters).. Sadly due to many unforseen circumstances, half of them couldn't make it.. Still, life went on as usual..

Being malaysians, we take pride in coming late.. Haha.. So kudos to the Penang guy who was first to the venue and kudos to the Kajang boy who came 1.5 hours later.. XD However, we had loads of fun, going crazy as usual.. Haha.. All things that happen was of pure randomness.. It was good to meet up with them.. So thank u to Joey, Eric, Kang Wei, Heoh Choor, Sheng and Michelle for making it to the gathering.. Also we all managed to see Joey's gf in person, so mission accomplished.. (never a mission to begin with) Haha..

Anyhow, for those who are still contemplating on whether to watch The Sorcerer's Apprentice or not, allow me to offer u this option.. If u dun watch it, u might as well dun call urself a movie goer.. XD Toodles!!

5 months and I hit restart..

2010-07-24T03:59:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess it's time to start a new from what has been a topsy-turvy 5 months right.. For some who know, guess there's no need explaining.. For others, I just gotta say, I'm back to single life again..

Now, before you all go into a heart attack and start calling me like crazy (or course that wont happen); let me clarify that I'm alright.. Sure, it's a bitter pill to swallow but life is such that you have to move on right? Like my friend said, "When life gives u lemons, make lemonades!" XD

Everything happens for a reason. In my case, it's probably better for the two of us.. There were happy moments, sad moments, frustrating moments.. And after much discussion the previous night and one last of thoughts exchange, we decided to mutually end it.. It ended on a good note and I'm happy that it happened that way.. I'm sure she is too.. =)

We still remain good friends.. I mean we still sms and chat over msn.. Probably I am still immature in this stuff.. I'm sure God has a higher purpose for me, that He's telling me to be patient.. I trust in His judgement and leave everything into His hands..

Thank u all out there who were concern for me.. You all have been a great help during our relationship and I really thank u all for that.. And a special thanks to her, you have opened up my eyes and let us just cherish the happy moments together while leaving the sad ones behind.. =)

One week later...

2010-07-16T07:58:00.000-07:00

Hello to the World out there..

A lot of people sure will ask this, "So how's ur holidays?" For me.. Boring, and i'm down with cough + flu; common combo.. So guess no more outings for me.. After all I did pushed myself very hard over the exam period.. Seems to be an exam thing, after SPM i was down, after STPM i was down worst and now after Year 1.. Conclusion Year 1=worse than STPM.. XD

A story I did like to share, well, more of pure luck actually.. I got this friend in AIMST who studies very little, who likes to say I'm going to die and well, practically he passed his first year.. I noe, not amazing but still, the way he was putting it was like I won't be seeing him for second year.. Anyhow, he passed, without really studying, especially for the last paper.. And now he owes me dinner.. Let's hope he reads this.. Haha..

Over the week I met a few old friends, I mean dah satu tahun tak jumpa.. Haha.. And boy it was good to see them.. Jean has become more beautiful, Yurie stunning as ever, SE gone thinner (i think) and Wen, well, is just Wen.. Haha.. But it was good to see u all.. Hopefully I get to c more friends before I cabut.. LOL!!

That's all from me now.. Recently our country has gotten into more political shit.. Oh well, dun need to talk about that until I find something really interesting to comment about.. Tata ppl!!

End of Year 1, start of the HOLIDAYS!! XD

2010-07-10T08:26:00.000-07:00

At long last, this inactive blog shall become active again.. And to celebrate it, let me share the good news..

I HAVE OFFICIALLY PASSED MY FIRST YEAR IN MBBS!!! XD

Alright, now that's done, let's move on.. Hehe..

Reviewing back my 10 months or so in AIMST, it has been a roller coaster one.. A lot of stuff happened, new environment, getting involved in activities, got a gal, etc etc..

However, one thing is for sure, I never regretted the day that I put my foot down and say, "Look Jason, medicine is your dream, your passion. Stop whining like a pussy and get into AIMST to pursue your dream!!" Well, that happened after the disastrous local uni application results last June.. Wow, 1 year has passed.. Crazy..

So what is next for me?? Well, holidays is one thing for sure.. There's a Hillsong United concert coming up on 11th August at Suen Hotel, Ipoh.. Anyone going?? =) Then a road trip, I guess and back to AIMST.. LOL!! Pretty lame rite? Of course i'll be meeting up with frens and all.. Maybe I should start commenting on all the shit that has been happening lately, in our beautiful Boleh-land.. See how la..

Well, tat's that for now.. Guess more updating will come.. I hope.. Hehe.. XD

P.S. I LOVE YOU!!

Fun FUn FUN!!!

2010-04-16T23:17:00.001-07:00

My first post for APRIL!!! OMG, the post are really dwindling down.. From an average 10 a month to 5 and now 1??? So next month will be 0??!! Well, that's up to me, the blogger.. LOL!!

Since prom only 2-3 things happened.. Had something called Primary Care Interphase.. Basically we're are to go visit a Hospital or Klinik Kesihatan and do some survey there like pharmaceutical, administration, finance, etc.. I was lucky to get Hospital Yan for my PCI for 2 reasons:
1) It's a hospital (duh... means more fun things to do)
2) Food there was A-W-S-O-M-E!!! I mean, we literally bought all the chicken rice that was left for sale.. XD
Overall, the PCI was a very good experience.. Gives u an eye-opener to the reality of medical and health services today in Malaysia.. So I'll say, BULLSHIT to all of u who said Malaysia will be saturated with doctors soon.. For it'll never will be..

The next big thing that happen (to me la) was the CF Retreat at Stella Maris, Penang.. (just in case u all dunno where in the world it is, it's pretty near Island Plaza) One word, ROCKING!!! The retreat was just totally fun and also very very informative.. Great sharing by the pastor and everything went out smoothly.. Imagine playing Mafia till 3am in the morning, getting 'sued' in Court Marshall and playing all kinds of crazy games.. XD Loving and missing it..

Lastly, there was the orientation for the new April Foundation students here in AIMST.. Very nice, been a long time since I conducted an orientation and of course, get to know some juniors also.. But of course the ones who had the most fun was US, the organizers.. =p

That's all the update for now.. To all my friends who are sitting for their major exams, good luck and God bless u all.. And to everyone else, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! (ok, a bit late but I had no classes for 2 days this week = HOLIDAY!!)

Penang was..

2010-03-29T08:55:00.000-07:00

GREAT!!!! HAHAHA!!!

It was superb.. 3 days of fun fun fun.. No worries, nothing.. It was me, her and our friends.. LOL!!

Prom was superb.. Only problem it was a bit cramped.. Food was great.. Performances were awesome.. Atmosphere was good.. So in conclusion, it was money well spent..

Other than that, Penang was just uber.. Food for cheap price, lepak-ing here and there, staying in an apartment (i got the floor thou.. @.@) and Adrian's house (that's one big house..) Plus spending time with her.. Was really precious.. And all happy memories.. Not to mention a few shit us guys did (as usual)

Now I look back to reality.. Piling homework, assignments and more exams coming up.. Plus loads of other things to do.. Luckily a few events are already over, especially the Hosteller's Night (which turned out to be vy vy good in the end)..

Submitted application for a scholarship.. Not putting up much hope but hey, God works in mysterious ways.. Speaking of that, there's a CF Retreat coming up.. And a mini youth concert in church.. Not to mention Good Friday, Easter Sunday, etc..

Time to hit the books.. I'm hungry.. T.T

Holidays are great... XD

2010-03-17T19:59:00.000-07:00

Holidays has been enjoying.. Seriously enjoying.. OK, other than sleeping in, eating like a pig and er.. Doing nothing.. Practically that's about it.. But it sure hell beats the crap out of study life.. XD

*grumbles at the pile of assignments*

So Chelsea got knocked out.. Ouch, that's going to hurt.. Hmm, after Real Madrid the main contenders left are MU (obviously), Arsenal, Barcelona and maybe Bayern + Lyon (well, cause they beat Real Madrid).. So who's your money on?? Of course, all shall be known with the draw by Friday.. Imagine, if two of the big teams clash with each other, who knows what catastrophe mayhem will ensure?? XD Glory Glory MAN UNITED!!!

Things with her is going good.. It's going to be our one month together already.. As I said earlier (don't know got mentioned or not); my parents already accepted the fact that now I have a gf.. Next thing is to convince them to accept her.. Still working on it.. On her end, well, let's hope things are really going to for the better.. *not going to reveal it here*

My last term is starting soon.. Wow, time really flies.. Plus I got loads of events to do when I get back.. Hosteller's Nights (26/3), Prom Night (27/3), Church Mini Youth Concert (3/4), CF Retreat (9/4-11/4).. It's going to be packed packed packed!! I think after the Retreat, I'll call it a day.. After that, must seriously get going to studies.. I mean, 2 more months to final after that Retreat, crap.. And here I was thinking what happened to my STPM holidays??? T.T

Politics - crappier as ever that I don't bother to read it.. However, today's headlines about Pakatan's fake September 16th really caught my eye.. Who's telling the truth only God knows.. However, Pakatan is really losing their footing.. The internal bickering is not really brightening their chances.. Oh well, best go with the incumbents.. Although you and I know that's not really a good choice either.. In Thailand, things look terrible.. So to all my friends going Thailand for holidays, take good care of yourselves.. Don't wanna see you get caught in those riots..

That's all the updates for now.. XD

1st post for March

2010-03-13T22:07:00.000-08:00

Looks like this is my first post of the month.. LOL!! 2 weeks since my last post?? That's quite a sight.. Haha..

Anyhow, many things occurred in the past 2 weeks.. I guess practically the whole world knows about my gf ady.. And yes, that includes my parents.. They're OK with it, as long I stay focus on both God and studies.. And my priorities.. Guess that's a good deal.. Things with her is pretty good, we're slowly going steady.. Now there's just one issue bugging me which is for my keep sakes.. =)

I recently concluded my CA3.. 1 word, BIG RELIEVE!! Although I still have this edgy feeling I'm going to fail one of the subjects, particularly Element6/7 (sorry PKR).. Furthermore, my last exam, Ethics, got postponed.. Arg.. 2nd time it has happened?? But things like these are totally unforeseen.. So just be patient lor..

Holidays for a week. YIPEE!! Plus lots of activities coming up.. Hosteller's Night, Prom Night, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, CF retreat.. And during this holidays 3 assignments, a bunch of reading and er.. Movie marathon anyone??? XD Not forgetting some temporary working for my dad.. LOL!!

MU rocks!! (as usual) Hopefully they beat Fulham tonight.. That 4-0 thrashing of AC Milan was really something.. And more stuff going on in Malaysian politics, kinda not bothered ady cuz itz the same old same old.. Power struggle, resignations, scandals.. A lot la.. Make the papers not worth reading ady.. Seriously, now I just read the Sports and Funnies..

Nothing much to blog about ady.. But this blog has been going on for a long time.. LOL!! Oh well, till next time..

The good news..

2010-02-26T22:12:00.000-08:00

Well, I did say I'll post what make me happy rite about a week ago?? As in the happiest day of my life?? Haha.. Well, I'll post it now..

I'M OFFICIALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP!!!!

OK, over exaggerating over there.. How it all went?? Or began?? Lets simply said I was helping her to hook up with my friend and it turned out completely opposite.. Weird huh.. Guess the whole Batch 15 knows ady; I think.. Hopefully this will last a really long time..

In other news, my CA3 is coming up in a week.. Damn.. I got myself involved in more and more things, hopefully those were correct decisions and er... Tat's all I think.. Just can't wait for the coming holidays.. So need a break where no studies is involved.. Haha.. Not going to be thou..

Oh well, time to hit my books again.. Arg.. The horror!! =(

YES!! AKU SUDAH KEMBALI!!! WHEE!!!! That's right people, your's truly has come back to the Land of Siew Pau.. =)

And let's start it off with an unforgettable experience that I had at the bus stand today.. Excited going back home I reached the bus stand early.. As usual, I go to the ticket booth and presented my ticket.. Alas, to my horror it seems the ticket I bought was wrong.. I was like WTF!!!! Well, it's my own carelessness for not checking the ticket properly but also the ticket person was a mangkuk for not hearing me properly.. Instead of buying a ticket back to S'ban, seems I got a ticket to come back to SP instead.. Best part, the date and time was correct.. WTF man!!!

So there I was, stuck in the bus station; thinking what should I do next.. No more tickets are left to go back Seremban.. I thought maybe KL?? If not worse to worse I'll go back to Ipoh.. Then the Abang told me not to change first, he'll try to help me.. True to his word, he checked the bus, there was vacant seats and I just popped into one.. So thank you Abang!! And thank to God, for it was a mirracle there were empty seats on the bus, it's one of the most popular buses around anyway..

So there's another experience to my series of unfortunate events.. Cool, I can make a movie about my experiences already.. LOL!! In the end everything turned out fine.. So thank God again.. =)

I have my plans for CNY all drawn up.. Was wishing not to include studies but cant do that if u have 20 lessons + 3 assignments to catch up on.. Crap.. Should have been more hardworking in AIMST... =.=" Oh well, enjoy first!! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

From life to nation..

2010-02-03T05:34:00.000-08:00

Wow.. This blog is really dying.. Ah.. The hectic life of a university student.. Still surprise myself that I treat myself to some enjoyment once in a while.. Not anymore thou.. Well, until CNY la.. I'll take it as my last chance to actually enjoy myself to the MAX!!!

Well, just for the sake of informing, I was 'promoted' as the class representative of my batch earlier this week.. So yup, that means tons of more stuff to do.. Just to add salt to my wounds.. However, with HIS strength, glory and guidance, I'm sure I'll be able to pull it through.. Plus it'll be a good experience for me, since I highly doubt I'll do anything during 2nd year (YES, I AM AIMING TO ENTER SECOND YEAR!!)

Enough about the crap about me, let's see other problem hitting our poor nation.. The arsonist seem to have stop targeting places of worship which is a darn good thing.. May God have mercy on their souls.. Next up, I just read an article that the green stretch near Batu Feringhi, Penang is going up in smokes.. So much for the Penang's government of keeping their word to stop hillside development.. Bemoaning a mega project that will wipe out the greenery once and for all.. Time to put your promises into action Guan Eng..

And our current government haven't been all that goody either.. Loads of crap are just happening around.. One big crap that has caught everyone's attention the racist remarks made by Najib's political aide.. Oh yeah, great job on 1 Malaysia while your own people is not showing their happiness about the concept.. Still it can be salvage thou by getting rid this kind of people.. That is if they want to get rid of them..

So with the next general elections looming, who would u pick?? Current gov is really hitting rock bottom, some said they are performing worse than before 3/08.. However opposition don't look too convincing either.. 2 more years to decide, I'm sure that's plenty of time to pick a clear winner..

Time for me to get back to my ever stacking notes which include:
7 microbes
3 pharmacos
2 pathos
1 biochem
1 anat

My CNY is sooooo ruined.. =(

New Semester Begins

2010-01-11T09:32:00.000-08:00

The new semester for my MBBS course began today (or more like yesterday) and it was basically the same stuff; re-registration, listen to some briefing, know new topics and new lecturers, etc..

However, this sem, my timetable is more packed compared to the previous one.. Eg. I use to get about 2 hours of free period in between, now that is reduced to 1 hour and sooner I think it'll be none.. =p

No complains thou, after all as the program goes deeper it tend to get tougher.. I just have to steel myself through the challenging times that lie ahead of me.. And of course to perform to the very best of my abilities..

Also it seems that we have a long holiday from this coming Thursday till the following Monday and yes people, I'M COMING HOME, TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG!! XD So happy holidays and have a safe journey everyone!!
