a warm and fuzzy feeling
Yesterday, I saw someone die in the ICU unit. I saw his wife's face when she was told. She seemed happy standing there, but a nurse came up (were there whispers and finger pointing to her husbands ward?) then the smile just fell away and was replaced by confusion and maybe grief.
Today, I saw a mentally unstable mom with 2 kids, her husband abuses her, and so she abuses her kids. The little boy was prolly the cutest kid I've seen. but like the doctor said "ini anak baik, di tangan kamu hancur la."
It was sad, but it made us realised that there is so much more to life than what we think and know. So much more unexpected. It makes you think alot also, what would you do if you're in the doctors position. report? would it help? you're taking the kid away from his family, no matter how screwed up they are, they're still family. But by reporting, you take him away from one bad thing and placing him in what? an orphanage. How is that helping? How is that good?
Later, we went to a klinik desa and did home visits, something you can only see in rural areas. We walked 30 km to and fro to the nearby village to visit a pregnant lady. On the way there, we were talking to the 3 nurses that was with us and everyone along the way stopped to say HI and waved and smiled. The feeling was warm fuzzy and loved. It was like everyones friendly and they truly welcome you despite not knowing you and you being different from them.
We did a full body check on the lady and palpated her stomach, YES PALPATED! (ain't it cool!) and felt the 7 month old baby move and heard its heart beat. Really was something that you don't experience often.
After that we returned to the clinic and was served COLD drinks and specially modified kueh kapet by the nurses and they really took all our questions really seriously and answered it all despite some being really senseless. Do you know that in a klinic desa, there's no doctors. Everything is handled by the community nurses, can you imagine their importance?! I guess I've gained a new level of respect towards them, they're not just the pple who cleans up after the patients but without them, life as a doctor would be shit.
I guess in these few days in rural attachment, I could certainly say, I've definitely learned alot alot and it made me grow up just a little bit more. I should start stepping out from my comfort zone and review what I think I know versus what is out there.
PS: sounds like I just wrote my whole reflective journal. damn.
PPS: Von told me to mention her, so she has been my sitting bus partner and catch me nodding off partner for the past few days.
(: hearts all who loves me and me them"I dont care what they say, I'm in love with youthey try to pull me away but they don't know the truth"

mid sem roadtrip!
YAY! I uploaded like 60 pics, this is so record breaking. Anyway, this trip happened in mid sem and pple that went was yours truly, sam, cheryl, waibeng, neeyee, hui ruan, michele and of course stella whos house we crashed! AT kuantan, all we did was EAT EAT and EAT. like seriously. SLEEP EAT watch movie.

at some park in kuantan with according to stella "pretty lotus in a lake". HAH HAH
Kuantan's beach: teluk cempedak! and US minus sam and nee
sam wanna be THE MAN

samantha YEAP -- who eats dimsum ALOT and says she eats alot
Hui Ruan -- I want her eyes and who eats all my vege (:
Our last dinner, we decided to spend at home cause stella wanted us to try her soup and cause no time to go out eat (: hahaha, the soup was so worth it.
stella cook punya dinner, well, the soup at least (:
leaving for perhentian. At kuala besut jetty waiting for the company where we collect our tickets to open. Left kuantan at 1am and reached terengganu at around 6am? On the way we passed the petronas petroleum factory, there were burning BLUE flames, even prettier than me can! The bus ride was abit scary, cause all dark and stuff and got cockcroach in bus, the tiny ones ):
on the ferry to perhentian, around 35 mins ride, I think the boat rides were the best part of THE whole trip. Like roller coaster cept nicer.

stella and evonne
joann and michele.
huiruan, seik yao, weiran
and an introduction to perhentian, beautiful island, sand and sea! did i mention sky!?
AWESOME MAN!

US! before going for our snorkeling trip. We saw sharks, sea urchins, schools of fish, weird fishes, scary corals and seaweeds, AND TURTLES!
A fort that looks like a prison
built by weiran and seik yao, destroyed by stella
we're standing on the pier for when the tide is high:

effort from one
Do I get a right to be mad?
Do I have a right to DEMAND what I WANT?
Maybe its not enough effort,
maybe effort from one side just never works.
Life is lovable and much hated at the same time.
"Yesterday, I heard you say,
your lust for life has gone away.
It got me thinking, I think I feel a similiar way",
and that's sad (that's sad)
- the orions experience
Well, I'm not exactly feeling that la, I just like it and its true sometimes, just not this moment.
On a lighter note,
SEM 2 started today!
new PCL has some really smart asses (no offense to anyone)
pressures like building up (:
but I'm still happy.

malaysian zoo!
Yes, being a good malaysian citizen and all, I WENT TO THE MALAYSIAN ZOO! It was fine, actually better than expected la. Spent around 5 hours walking around.
Fellow tour guides leading were:
Ivan and Seik Yao

This was a funny sign we came across, if the animals were extinct then they wont be in the zoo wont they? Might as well have a cage of dodo birds and label it extinct thats why you cant see any.
Another weird sign.
Haha, APPARENTLY there are penguins in the malaysian zoo. And so i lost my bet that malaysian zoo cant afford penguins. But the penguins were sad ones, it was moulting means its feathers were peeling and they cant swim so they look like forzen cubes of meat. Sides that the encloses was pathetic, looked like some run down ice cream box. BUT I STILL LOST MY BET ):
That was the devilish evil deer we saw, it had side fangs jutting out sorta like a vampires.
THIS IS REALLY THE WILD. they probably dont use any seasoning in their food. IT WAS URGH. dont try it.
If I end up as an animal in my next life, I wanna be otters!
AHEM, hahaha, just for entertainment la, go figure out what they're doing.


The skin looks kinda porcelinish (: pretty
We still cant decide whether this croc is real or not, It just seems weird to me the way it opens it mouth and position its fingers, but then ivan say its throat moving indicating breathing or something. Maybe its a balloon?
YES! YOU SEE A ORANG UTAN DRINKING 100 PLUS. some pple with less sense than me apparently threw in 100 plus for the poor apes.
He was then asking for more. WHICH THEY GAVE ANOTHER CAN, Like wth! its no wonder if one week later the zoo announces that they have diabetic orang utans. They also fed the apes sweets, luckily those apes manage to get the sweet out of the wrappers before eating it.
and the finale ended with us seeing elephant shit! ITS HUGE., seriously (:
See, malaysia zoo not bad la. And theres definitely more animals than in my post can.
PS: cheng & jan. I bring you when you come down?
PPS: photos taken by both seik yao and ivan.

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. and now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?Desperate
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package,while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applicationsJewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly. WAV files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
Tech Support

running away from reality
ever wondered why people run away instead of facing problems?or why people face problems instead of running away?
well. im thinking, as you know thinking and me,
we dont really go well together.
would I be the one to face a problem or would I run away.
today, i made someone really important to me cry.
and i dunno what to do. should i step up and hug the person or what should i say?
or should i just hide away till everything dies off and it becomes as close to normal as it will get.
I just dunno, maybe ...
oh wells. this is probably why i never want kids.
what if they turn out like me?
