Omg, my last post was two months ago. Anyway, last night's tremors were freaky, ended up evacuating the building with my beloved housemates. Can't believe i actually took beebo with me, ah well, i guess at times like that you'll realise what is really important to you, just never expected it to be a big fat white hamster. Everyone from uni was out on the streets within minutes, and from how everyone was acting, it was more like a street party than an emergency. It was priceless to see bernard half naked and running down 27 flights of stairs. haha.
$$angpows on the way!!!
Hmmm, so this year is going to be the year of the rooster, hey, that means raymond's 24.haha. just a passing thought.
The drive back to Ipoh was surprisingly pleasant, no accidents, no jams, no impatient drivers, complete with entertainment in the form of lame jokes, courtesy from raymond no doubt, and the discussion about our love lives, or lack of it. Elaine was great company by the way.
And so here i am back home, and i brought my notes with me, but haven't touch them yet. Still trying to find a reason good enough to study while i can do better stuff like watch tv, or read a book, or play with my cousin's kids. You know, there's one things about relatives, its like u know them all your lives, but u don't know them at all, and sometimes it really feels like they're just strangers whom u see once a year. But i love my family, the whole extended bunch of them, being able to come home, a place to belong, sometimes i sleep better at night because of that.
Speaking about sleeping, something's happening which is really beginning to freak me out. About two months ago, i was taking a short nap before dinner in my apartment, just as i was waking up, i thought i saw someone in my room, just right beside my bed. Of course it could have been either of my housemates but unfortunately i was the only tenant at that time. Well, it could have been just a dream, but this stupid particular dream has been reoccuring everytime i try to sleep during the day, only during the day. So its been two months now, and i haven't had a decent nap since then. I don't mind dreaming about strangers, but not in this spooky freaky way..
Gosh, does it has to be so hot every chinese new year...
Oh ya, my condolences to Aiky, whose hamster passed away on the 3rd of february 2005.
I suck. After two years in med school, i'm not so sure if a doctor is really what i want to be for the rest of my life. Of course I'm not sure either if this is just a phase i'm going through. But somehow, I'm dreading the start of the new semester, the same way i used to dread school last time. Of course i didn't have a choice last time, but now, its something i chose. My biggest fear has always been regretting the choices i made in life, and just thinking about this gets me all panicky. Sooner or later I'll be having problems looking my parents in the eye, my wonderful supportive parents, who's working so hard just to get me through. So meanwhile, i shall cross my fingers and hope this is just a phase, or better still, take out my notes and start studying, maybe that'll get back my drive.
Was looking at some pics that I took with some friends last hols and just realised that my appendectomy scar was so clearly visible. Shit, it was just there, a shiny white line just above my pants, and to think the surgery was done 13 years ago. Still remembered vividly the surgeon saying the scar will fade as i grow older, and instead, it just grew up with me. Never trust surgeons. A tattoo might help in covering it up though. Hey, i think thats an excellent excuse to get one, hope my parents won't flip.
My gp rocks. Fantastically ethical. Totally different from aiky's. Can't say the same about his patients though, most of them are elderly hypochondriacs. Phew, if u ever want to test your patience, just go into geriatrics.
Beebo's getting older :(
My house is an ideal habitat for mosquitoes. This is the conclusion i made after staying here for two weeks, countless bites, and one whole tube of mopiko. I don't really how many species are there in Malaysia, but i have a feeling that all of them can be found here, in my house, number 21 persiaran cavendish, off kampar road, ipoh. So if anyone wants to study about mosquitoes and their life cycles, my house is open anytime.
Was the fruit orange named after the colour, or was the colour orange named after the fruit? still couldn't figure it out by myself....hmmmmm. Chia ming?
Hmm, thanks to an overwhelming urge to go home that hit me last week, I decided to skip one week of rotations and well, go home. The problem now is this nagging thought of being in trouble when i get back to uni, afterall, i did miss two csu sessions and a couple of lab ones. Damn..
Anyway, received a rude shock this morning when reading the paper. Tsunamis in Malaysia? Its so surreal, I guess Malaysians can only be thankful that the casualty number wasn't in the hundreds or thousands. Getting a bit worried for Grace and her family who went for a cruise to Phuket on Christmas day, really really hope they are all right. What a thing to happen during Christmas season, lives lost, wreckage and destruction, grief and sadness.
On a lighter note, i'm glad to know all my friends are having a good time and enjoying their holidays, it was great to come home and spend time with family and friends. Below is a conversation that aiky, cm, jack and i had on msn, something about cm not agreeing with aiky's latest post on her blog.

Sometimes we just don't make sense....
It's just amazing to see how one person can get sick in uni, and spread it to the others in a couple of days. Right now the sick count is about half of our batch, including those who are nearly well. So here i am, coughing my lungs out, and dribbling mucus out of my nose, sitting in the e-lab, typing away on the keyboard and hoping i'll spread the germs far and wide. hmm, maybe i'll even go as far as attending cg tonight and hope it'll catch on from there.
Having a really tough time finding someone to watch alexander with, having heard about the high level of gayness in the show from those who had watched it, my friends are now avoiding it like the plague, with the exception of tim, who said it was really good, this coming from a guy who's homophobic.
okie, i think i've touched the keyboard enough times to ensure the viruses stays on. merry christmas everyone!!
