okie...so yesterday was the first day of our orientation (med students only)...it will be held all through this week...although i wish we didn't have to have it so long, but i guess we aren't just stepping into a new classroom to listen to a few old people come in and drone...from what i see, it's going to be different....very different! (this isn't Kansas, Toto!)
yesterday, we met our dean Prof. Dr. Jammal who told us all kinds of reasons why we should opt out of medicine (low pay, hard...)...umm...ya...not exactly motivating are we?? XD but it was said all in good faith so can accept la, hor! ^-^ then we had a brief intro to the PBL sessions we will be having by Prof. Dr. Ogunbanjo...brief because he was happier telling us stories( the story of the tongue and teeth! gou! hahah!) and prancing around on stage animatedly...but he was inspiring like crazy! he seemed to really get into 'the feel' when he shared some of his experiences with us...cun! later we had to head to the library for course selection...something rather pointless i feel since all our subjects are compulsory anyway but there you go...
today we had a meeting with our torturers...i mean seniors! XD evil la they...they made us come out one by one and intro ourselves in front of a group of about 50 of them...most of the time we had to repeat whatever we had said because they were too focused on their on discussions and couldn't hear what we were saying...okie la...say true i don't enjoy this part of school...it's always the same...juniors are put on parade for the enjoyment of the seniors...boring...=.= but on a good note i found them nice also la...friendly and funny...^-^ have to meet them again on friday evening, though...it will be crazier and more degrading than today, i presume...@.@
next we were split into smaller groups and had our first PBL session...mine was with Dr. Ogunbanjo! yay! hahah! it was okie loh...we didn't know what we were supposed to 'solve' from the problem given which made it a little tough...the question we were discussing was about a college guy who got into an accident and was bleeding from his leg...one funny part was when the prof asked us what had happened to the guy's leg...so we answered stuff like 'it broke' or as one of my group members said 'he was bleeding because of pressure'...then i said maybe it was a fracture and the prof suddenly boomed "FRACTURE!! that was what i was looking for!"...walauwei! kek si lang!! i almost fell off the uncomfortable and backache inducing chair i was sitting on! =.= scared my half to death la, wei! @.@ after this intro of sorts i'm still a bit blur about how we are going to go about this PBL thingy, but getting there i guess! ^-^
later...went to lunch with a few of my classmates and winnie, too...finding it a little hard to remember so many names...=.= the best was micheal aka kah ming (hope i got the spelling right!)...sorry oh, wei! hahah! the joke is best said verbally so ask me the next time you see me la, hor! ^-^ now gotta go do my FEED poster for self-awareness tomorrow...feed! kindergarten betul! =.=

1st day! ^-^
HAIYO!! i've been waiting for this day since i don't know when! my first day at uni as a full fledged med student! woof! hahah! though i was excited until....! but still found it hard to wake up in the morning! must be because i am so used to waking up extremely 'early' these past few months! ^-^
anyway...when i finally dragged myself out of bed i heard a strange sound outside my window...it was raining ever so heavily! with thunder and lightning too! =.= showers of blessings, i hoped! and thankfully, i had finally bought a new umbrella just two days before! (yes! FINALLY!) after getting my stuff ready, i went down to wait for gc...
we met winnie at the cafeteria and proceeded to the hall at blok c...met a fellow tarcian, too, who happily is in the same class as me! yeah! tarc power! XD we then took our places among the a-levels, nursing, med and pharmacy students...really few med students this year! @.@ then, were 'entertained' with numerous talks and speeches...winnie was doing some real 'inovative' actions to keep herself awake which helped me keep from sleeping, too! hahah! thanks, winnie! stone was as usual unable to give any reaction to the happenings...oh! and i spotted a jay look-a-like in the pharm batch, too! yeng loh! XD
later was lunch (gc was happy it was provided free by the uni! wakaka!)...then we had a campus tour...pharm guys were separated from us because they were running on a different schedule than us... the rest of us were split into groups and taken on a tour of the campus...one word=SIENZZZ! XD it was boring because most of the places they took us to had nothing to do with my course whatsoever! =.= but i did get to talk with some a-levels girls! funny la, those little kids! ^-^ wish i could go back to being carefree like them!
after that i skipped the ice-breaking-whatever-nonsense session to go back home...aiyo! i'm going to be 'tortured' by my own seniors next week so why should i go for this and double GG myself, right?? XD tomorrow gc and winnie have fun-and-games with their seniors while i laze around the house and enjoy my free-time! i have a feeling i'm going to miss it! =.=

oh! happy day! ^-^
Today is my second day in cheras...yesterday was spent unpacking my stuff and savoring the wonders of wifi! i'm practically online the whole day! heaven! hahah! but still it was boring doing everything alone...
But today signified the start of happy days! ^-^ winnie came by in the evening to survey her room which is in the same house as mine! yay! can't wait for her to move in! first thing i'm going to do is kidnap her lappie and steal all her delicious songs and movies! hahah! you have been warned, winnie dear! ^-^
A little later, every body's favorite stone arrived...gc! hahah! he came on the perfect day as today is 'pasar malam day' over here, too! haiyo! if only you could see his face as we made our way through the maze of people! he was transfixed by every food stall! wakaka! the babi! i was left walking by myself through the place not just because of the massive crowd but also because we couldn't have our stone out of character, could we?? ^-^ he would suddenly stop without a word and i would have to track back and find him! haiz...what to do! he is a little kid after all! ^-^
Then after walking aimlessly for what seemed like miles we decided to do what we do best...eat! by a slight twist of faith (or rather because i forgot where the stall we were looking for was! ^-^) we ended up in one of the nearby restaurants...as we were waiting for our food, i heard the stone exclaim! he pointed at a table not far from where we were sitting and lo and behold there was a few local celebs having their dinner, too! wah! so lucky! hahah! they were down to promote their latest serial coming soon to 8tv, Cup of Love...so we, of course, had a little kap-ing spree! hahah! he seemed happy (who knows what the stone really feels!) though he wanted to whack me for my 'keen' sense of direction earlier that brought us here! ^-^
The best part of the night was when we we walking back to our respective houses! the celebs had started their promotion booth thing...of course gc had to continue where he left off kap-ing the female cast members...and the big lummox wasn't looking at where he placed his great foot! the feeder stepped on my slipper causing me to run barefoot to retrieve it! and where did this spectacle by yours truly have to happen?? that's right...in front of the promotion booth! =.=""" so embarrassing! =.=""" i scrambled away cursing the clumsy stone!! feeder...don't know how to kap don't kap la...=.="""
Anyway...more importantly...tomorrow is our first day of university! woof! hahah! i know we have the toughest years of our lives laying ahead...but with a little help from each other (especially during the 'teething' stages!) i know that it will be a little easier to handle...and today was just a little teaser of all the good times that will be coming by the dozen, too! hahah! ^-^ see you tomorrow, you two! ^-^

i still can't believe...
That i'm going to take medicine...MEDICINE!!! though i've already got a place, it really is like a dream come true! being a doctor is my life-long-that-or-nothing career choice! and to be able to actually start my journey to realise it...man! it's as surreal as surreal can be! ^.^
The interview was terrifying, though! the three lecturers they chose to conduct the interview were like hawks waiting to pounce on me with their sharpened talons! really! as pk would say, scary until...! ^-^ they kept rephrasing the same questions over and over again but i stuck to my guns and tried to answer as best as i could (though 99% of the time i wanted to just GG them kaw kaw using multicoloured language!)...and for some odd reason they said the way i put my points across seemed more lawyer-ish and ask me to reconsider my career choice...that was when i thought 'this is it! they are NOT taking me in and this is just their playtime!'...as i walked out of the room when it was over, my mind was a blur...my whole world was collapsing before me...T.T
30 agonizing minutes later, they called us in for the result...we went in two by two to face them...i imagined an antelope walking straight into the lions den! XD i sat down and could already hear the first strains of 'we are sorry but...' but instead of telling us the result, they began a lecture on the difficulties of the course...WAT-TER!! tell the dum result already! then finally, he said...'so, congratulations...' WAIT!!! back up the truck one minute! I am in?? WAKAKA! after that, i couldn't hear the further droning by the lecturers...i was too high up on cloud 9! ^-^
Anyways, entering medical school is just the minor bit (a rather MAJOR minor bit!)...the real challenge is staying there till my tenure as a med student ends...it truly is going to be a SUPER tough 5 years...and i feel that if don't cultivate the correct attitude from now, i'll be a confirmed drop-out! my love for this job can only carry me so far...what i need is a revamp on how i tackle my studies..i need to turn into the feed3! XD really! if i can have pei pei's focus (no matter what was going on beside him, he never takes his eyes away from his books, unless to give me his death stare! XD), cheang cheang's determination (the way he read his books until they were permanently deformed is truly an art!) and yan yan's passion (he actually found time to supplement his notes with hundreds of extra info and the way he pored over every word...gou!)...haiz! somebody get me possessed by their spirits! XD i'll try and try and try to be like them...because if i do, i can't even imagine how gou a doctor i can be! L(^.^)/
Well, wish me luck ya! and if anyone of you know a good 'bomoh' let me kno! ^-^

happy stone day! ^-^
i have a hangover...don't worry! no alcohol was consumed! just finding it hard to get over yesterday's euphoria! ^-^ i had woken up at 6 in the morning just to catch the first bus to kl and was out for more than 12 hours! all just for one stone! hahah! but it was sooooo worth it! ^-^
the day started ghastly for me, though...at bus depot in titiwangsa! i always hated that place...but that's another story! ^-^ had to wait ages for the U24 bus! almost in tears when it came! (because of all the smokers congregating at the bus stop! die! die! die!) then made my way to my beloved wm! heheh! did you know tarc has undergone many changes??! those juniors are just soooo lucky! =.= even the fence looks cooler! =.=
since i couldn't go into tarc, i played around (really!) outside the college till my chariot came! huahuahua! it was yk, who took me to his house to wait for the ever punctual pk in more comfortable surroundings! ^-^ yk's house was bliss as always! haiz! what crazy things we got up to at his house! like when we had a bbq there and i almost flooded his kitchen! hahah! and this time was the best 'coz he gave me something deliciously special...CHOCOLATE! marvelous! the main festivities hadn't started and i was already in finger-licking heaven at that point! hahah!
then we walked up to wm station...much to my balking! i mean, seriously, yk! how could you let the queen walk! hahah! anyways...we had more waiting to do at the station as the dancing queen hadn't arrived yet! =.= finally, he made his entrance and we began our journey to the meeting point, MV where we were joined by py...crazy woman! scared me half to death! i almost died when she crept up behind me and jolted my soul out of my body! feed poh!
anyways...we made our way to MV's 'secret recipe' and proceeded to look for the birthday boy who was being craftily stalled by ah sou...nyeheheh! he didn't know anything about our coming and ah sou expertly managed to subdue the little kid long enough to wait for us! the dum kid had threatened to go return home and sleep if ah sou didn't take him to the movies! feeder! ^-^ we spotted our target and barged in much to the shock of our dear brother! hahah! he was so shocked, he was speechless for some time (though he rarely speaks anyway! hahah!)! haiz...that look on his face was priceless and made my whole tiring trip totally worth it! ^-^
haiz...time really flew and before we knew it it was already time to go home! =.= i HATED when we said our goodbyes...heart too heavy to leave my 2nd family! hahah! as i told py later...saying goodbye just meant the start of the looooong wait till we see each other again (though for pk, the further away i am from him, the happier he is! =P)...but since blood is thicker than water, the feed6 family (dum buffalo included!) will surely have a reunion again soon, right?? ^-^
p.s...to di; hope you liked our surprise! ^-^ and hope your adrenaline levels have returned to normal! hahah!

happy face?? ^-^
yesterday, i traveled back to my hometown, kl...^-^ went to see my brother who had just passed his second year exam (so proud!! hahah!)...but that is not what i am going to ramble about today...rather it is what happened after that got me pondering...
after a rather disappointing lunch (i mean, 4.50 for a measly salad chicken rice with a weird taste that left much to be desired?? you really got to be kidding!!), we went to do a little shopping at the nearby tesco...i was in my hyperactive-child-in dire-need- of-suppressants mode...you know, checking out the cute babies (hahah! the world knows the joy i get from seeing cute little kids! they are so endearing!), smiling and laughing like a hooligan...basically i was acting like my average self! ^-^
then, when my mum was paying for something...i noticed the lady at the cashier eyeing me strangely...i thought 'uh-oh! does she think i am insane or something??' hahah! i always think that whenever people give me that look! ^-^ well, anyway...my mum told me after that the lady actually said i looked real nice because i was always happy and smiling! ^-^
hahah! of course, that compliment only succeeded in widening my grin even more! ^-^ but it got me thinking, too....is it that noticeable?? i mean, there were hundreds of people around and the cashier was busy with her job..and yet she noticed little ol' me?? whoa! that really takes the power of a smile in a whole new dimension, doesn't it! ^-^ i feel real good when i can make people happy...especially, complete strangers like this! it gives me an instant high when i see others smile because of something i did...does that makes me an altruist??! hahah!
so, kids...keep smiling! it makes the world a nicer place! proven#! ^-^

unexpected happiness behind a desk...^-^
hahah! what a kinky title! ^-^ but it kind of suits what i experienced throughout my 2 months being a clerk in an insurance firm! i never expected to enjoy this job so much until i was so very reluctant to leave it! but i owe it all to my employers who are safely the best bosses anyone can hope for! let me tell you what i got up to this past couple of months and maybe you will understand my strange affection i have for this rather mundane profession...
when i first got this job, i wasn't expecting much...the pay was low and the hours long...but at that time i was desperate for any job as i didn't want to waste my life away living the life of a lazy pig at home! so, when this job came up, i literally pounced on the opportunity and charmed my way into it...
the first thing i was told to do when i came in the next morning was to clean the perfectly strewn bird-poop off the steps leading to the office! man! you should have seen the look on my face! these people had the audacity to order the (self-professed) queen to perform such a peasant-like duty! hahah! but to tell you the truth, it was extremely humbling and doing that job made me look in a whole new light at those roadsweepers and toilet cleaners...you need a huge amount of dignity to stand there and perform your task amid the stares from all and sundry...and after a while i began to enjoy(if you can say that!) this daily ritual every morning! i managed to overcome a bit of my shyness and act totally unperturbed by the gawks of the townsfolk every morning...malaysians love looking and scrutinising people doing 'lesser' jobs, you know!
my other duties comprised of making boring records in ledgers, writing letters, photocopying, etc...but i approached each task with child-like enthusiasm and that made each day an adventure! but although it sounds easy-peasy-lemon-squeasy, it was quite hard to get into the whole rigmarole of office life in the beginning...my first 'mishap' happened on my first week there was accidentally photocopying a huge amount of unwanted forms! man! when the boss found out, she told me to never approach the copier without her permission(something along those lines!)! T.T man! i wanted to leave the job there and then! i thought i was going to be fired...but my bosses were amazing about it! the next day they acted like the incident never happened! ^-^
i also had to get over my fear of talking to people as sometimes i had to deal with walk-in customers when i was alone in the office...scary eh! i would act all friendly and nice but inside i would be reciting my mantra, 'ask me something i know!' ^-^ i have a fear of showing my ignorance to strangers! hahah! my first walk-in customer was quite a speciment! he had these crazy tattoos all over and he looked as if he would gouge my brains out if he didn't like my answers! T.T scary eh!! but when he opened his mouth, he was a perfect gentleman! hahah! he even called me 'miss'! hahah!
when i first came in, many of the other agents just glanced over me as just an incompetent know-nothing...but soon, they began to take a liking for me due to my *ahem* english proficiency! ^-^ i became quite friendly with them (especially since one of them was a tarcian, too! ^-^) and used to help them decipher the myriad of forms they had to fill! ^-^ and since my chinese left much to be desired, i only used it with the agents' and my bosses' kids! hahah! scary la! i might ask my boss to 'become a chicken' if he/she was blocking my way! ^-^ but my 'cacat' chinese enabled my to endear myself to the other office dwellers even more! ^-^
haiz...looking back at those two months i was there, i feel a tinge of regret at not being able to spend more time at the place...but as my boss said on my last day...i have to go study and better myself as much as i can...^-^ man! i love my bosses! hahah! this experience will linger for a long time, i guess...another entry in the 'happy memory file'!
p.s-->if you want to buy insurance, tell me! buy from my bosses! they super good de!! hahah! ^-^
p.p.s--> ke poh people...for more explicit happenings at the office, ask me personally! yes! there were crazy stuff going on sometimes that i didn't put here!! hahah! this is a family-orientated blog!! ^-^

T.T man! i wanted to leave the job there and then! i thought i was going to be fired...but my bosses were amazing about it! the next day they acted like the incident never happened! ^-^
i also had to get over my fear of talking to people as sometimes i had to deal with walk-in customers when i was alone in the office...scary eh! i would act all friendly and nice but inside i would be reciting my mantra, 'ask me something i know!' ^-^ i have a fear of showing my ignorance to strangers! hahah! my first walk-in customer was quite a speciment! he had these crazy tattoos all over and he looked as if he would gouge my brains out if he didn't like my answers! T.T scary eh!! but when he opened his mouth, he was a perfect gentleman! hahah! he even called me 'miss'! hahah!
when i first came in, many of the other agents just glanced over me as just an incompetent know-nothing...but soon, they began to take a liking for me due to my *ahem* english proficiency! ^-^ i became quite friendly with them (especially since one of them was a tarcian, too! ^-^) and used to help them decipher the myriad of forms they had to fill! ^-^ and since my chinese left much to be desired, i only used it with the agents' and my bosses' kids! hahah! scary la! i might ask my boss to 'become a chicken' if he/she was blocking my way! ^-^ but my 'cacat' chinese enabled my to endear myself to the other office dwellers even more! ^-^
haiz...looking back at those two months i was there, i feel a tinge of regret at not being able to spend more time at the place...but as my boss said on my last day...i have to go study and better myself as much as i can...^-^ man! i love my bosses! hahah! this experience will linger for a long time, i guess...another entry in the 'happy memory file'!
p.s-->if you want to buy insurance, tell me! buy from my bosses! they super good de!! hahah! ^-^
p.p.s--> ke poh people...for more explicit happenings at the office, ask me personally! yes! there were crazy stuff going on sometimes that i didn't put here!! hahah! this is a family-orientated blog!! ^-^
