Hello... just a pic of me at Auckland airport! Its quite nicely decorated now that its almost Christmas. All that lovely Christmas bells and tinsel and all :p I guess i was bored... and it was a pretty long trip although i thin it wasn't so bad this time. Sibu is hot hot... but its nice to be back. Home cooked food... family and all the familiar things ... interestingly not much has changed really... things still look the same... only small changes like my parents installing air-cons (yay!!!) n the changing of parking tickets from the ones u punch holes in to ones that u scrape off the silver stuff. It kinda helps to prevent cheating i suppose since u can't cover up the number after u've scraped off the silver stuff unlike the holes which u can patch back up :p

I suppose life's just moving along ... i went to the market the other day and yep.. still same old - busy, full of food.. hehe my favourite... i just like to poke around and look at all the different food on sale... yummm...

its nice to be back ~contented sigh~ 

Home

I'm officially home! yeah.... all that travelling finally paid off.. i just got back this morning and had a nice long nap in the afternoon. Its good to be home! Although it is sooo hot........ feels like an oven... not to mention its pretty noisy and rowdy since my little brother is on holiday!!!

It was a pretty hectic journey n all but i thank God that i'm back safe and sound :)

This is just a random post.. i'm sick of studying... I have one last exam on Friday and then i'm free!!!!!!!! i can't wait .. i've been revising and re-revising stuff these few days... exam on monday n then today.. i feel so exhausted... four hours is so long... in the end i just want to pass...

My life is so boring.. since its mainly sleep wake up study play computer study eat play computer study play computer sleep? hehehe... ok thats fairly repetitive but i suppose u get what i mean? I can't wait for those wonderful days when i'm free, just lazing around, doing nothing useful.. ... ahhhh....

Arghh.. i'm so annoyed... blasted idiots in a car!!!! i was walking back from library around 11pm tonite... just minding my own business and all that... n suddenly someone chucked something out of the car... i didn't realised what it was at first... but then it hit me hard on my foot... n smashed to pieces.. man i freaked out n thought it was glass... n it hurt!! Stupid idiots @#$@##%! pity i didn't see them since they went by so fast... i didn't even realised what happened.. but after looking back i realised it was egg!!!! Argghhhh... that smashed on my nice pants... which now stinks of egg... fortunately i have long pants though so it didn't actually get on my foot... but still.......... i am so NOT happy....

The consequence of impending exams...

Mood: just woke up.... blur but aware at the same time

Exams are coming up and its really been affecting my brain!!! I think i wake up early coz i think i have to study... but then.. i'm 1/2 asleep and annoyed. When i get to studying i get too engrossed that if you talk to me in the next few minutes i'll spout random drug names like risperidone, omeperazole or clonidine without knowing what they do. When i see "dia..." i think diabetes! ... when i see OC... i think oral contraceptives... if i see another ALP, ALT,GGT ... i will think liver enzymes... so you see exams is really messing with my head!! Ok ... maybe i'd better stop. Talking to oneself is the first sign of madness after all.

Hehe this is hte first slip i got at med library! Just thought i'd commemorate this event even if my stuff didn't actually get confiscated. I think the little man looks very cute ne?

Exam blues...

Mood: Grumpy, tired... bleh

This is what exams does to a person. Everyday is consumed by thoughts of studying and yet my mind rebels at the action of it. Add in much annoyance, slow progress and the occasional naps... i'm really not the perkiest student around.

Just a thought on God's blessings...
"So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant." - Joshua 24:13

Can we say we deserve everything we get? Thus be grateful and use well what we have been given.

"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death."
- 2 Corinthians 7:10

Flour,little white balls and wacky flatmates

Another day , another set of interesting events! Today's officially my flatmate's birthday! And guess what the other 4 scheming flatmates did :p We woke her up around 7am on the excuse that we'd made her breakfast and then when she came around the corner....... ...... haha we chucked floor and polystyrene balls at her! Man! That was hilarious ... it was right at the moment when she said "I feel like i'm dreaming" ... n 'bam' wemt the flour and all ... i think she was in a bit of a shock for a while but then starting chasing us with this evil glint in her eyes! quite scary i have to say .. the four of us barricaded ourselves in the living room for fear of our lives. Our roles were as such: Jane - flour, Iris - balls, Ruth-camera, me- knock on door and lure her out :P Yep, that was surely a very early start to the day!!! not to mention a totally wacky one... better watch out for a revengeful flatmate in the future :p

Happy day!

:) Yay! my anatomy rat race is over and it wasn't as hard as i was worried it might be. I know i shouldn't really be celebrating since my finals are far from over and i'm nowhere near being prepared but hey, it was a good day! I actually won a CD and DVD from Hoyts coz i joined one of their competitions ages back. I don't really remember what it was since i joined heaps just for the fun of it. Imagine the surprise i had at seeing a parcel with my name on it in the living room at like 9am this morning? hehe (coz the couriers come around 8am)

In appreciation

Thank you Lord, for light blue skies,
for fresh green leaves and rain that cleanses,

for life itself, to love, to breath, to feel,
to laugh, to cry, to smile, to sing,

for friends that accept you, that make you smile and tease,
who are willing to know you, to care,

for family and people around,
who make a difference just by being there,

for Your saving grace o' Lord,
to someone not worthy, imperfect and unwhole,

and for taking the dirty and making it clean again,
to look at what the world did not see,

and to make the speck of dust into a gem.

Transient...

"...What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." James 4:14

Beautiful blue skies!

Today is a lovely day! It seems that in between these cold rainy days are interleaved with bout sunshine and blue skies! My little weather icon is telling me its 17 degrees with a picture of lightning and rain ! hehe... i suppose its not that accurate...

Had a pharmacology lab today.. n we were looking at prescriptions and mistakes in them.. and it seems that mistakes in prescription are even made when misreading doctor's handwriting! which i have to admit i had trouble making out drug names as well....and did a little glucose monitoring finger prick too.. was around 4.3... which was pretty low i suppose considering i wasn't fasting.. but yeah... who knows... the range is around 4.1 to 6 mmol/l i think.. hehe well its good that i don't have to worry that i'll have diabetes or even impaired glucose tolerance -- metabolic syndrome...

Just a wee note.. i've managed to put up some camp pics.. so they're in gallery 3 pass abc as usual.

<<< I saw this at Lake Waihola! Thought it was pretty cool since i can't imagine having a playground in the middle of the lake...

Of swings and daffodils... rain and cloud

What is the world coming to? Hehe i think thats a pretty cliche question but i wonder... coz there's so many things going on nowadays... there's heaps of natural diasasters for one thing ... there was the tsunami and then hurricane.... n even london bombings and now there's an earthquake in Kashmir... so many lives lost... n yet everyday as i wander to n fro from classes and all i feel safe in this world i live in. I see parents picking their children up from the daycare at the hospital... i see little kids jumping up n down on the swings and the sandpit... father's who are like 6 ft tall with little toddlers wich are like only as tall as their leg... its so sweet... so calm ... my biggest worries are exams... n how to get through classes and all that n yet they dull in comparision to so many other things that are going on. I feel so selfish at times coz they are heaps more ppl in pain out there ... n yet all i think about mostly is my next meal.. my next class .. my next test? My world sure has shrunk a lot.

I think it's the weather too.. when its gloomy and rainy like this i reflect on many things... it would probably do me good to move to a sunnier climate... :p

"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

- Isaiah 40:6-8

Doodling my thoughts...

Just a note i've posted up the pics from Ruth's b-day on gallery 3 ..same password.. abc.. :)

Another day has past... i think time is moving so quickly... Someone mentioned lately, that "you have to be a good follower" / "menjadi pengikut yang baik" n i thought, well that depends who i'm following really. What if i don't really want to follow the leader coz i don't really want to even be part of this really. Hmm.. n Sunday we did some stuff about being a good leader which i thought was quite good. A leader that commands people to follow just based on their position alone is not going to last. Its also about taking care of your followers and developing relationships with everyone so that when they follow its out of willingness and not just some weird obligation or a commonly used word in Malaysia for unpopular events os by making them "wajib" ie "compulsory"!!

Exam blues...
