Right or Left?


After my semester break, I went back to uniten and we(sime darby scholars) have to join the JPA's orientation program..then, there was a little activity in which we were told to close our hands together.. I have been thinking about this issue since the day I got to know about it. I did not know that everyone places his thumb differently when he closes his hands together. Some may place their right on top of the left while others would have the left on top of the right...funny huh? It may be an oblivious thing to a myriad of people but this thing has made me think a lot about how does it relates to my personality and others's as well. I cannot help thinking about it..hahaha.

It seems that people with their right thumb on top of their left think before they act while the ones with the left on top are not cognizant about their actions. Well, I think this is really REALLY true yet creppy..

I have even experimented this on my family members...(wanting to know if it has anything to do with genetics or so...lol). I think it plays a tiny role. 3/5 of my family members(my mum, bro and I) place their left thumb on top of the right where as 2/5(my dad an sis) place their right thumb on top of the left.Honestly, I was surprised by the result of it as I was pretty sure my sis would have her left on top of the right instead but it turned out to be the opposite..hahaha. Then, it got me ponder for sometime. Maybe genetics is not a factor after all...lol.

Eventually, I kinda agree that those with their right on top of the left are much more rational and sensible. I have noticed that my sis do not make hasty decisions like me. She would think of the consequences first in any circumstances. As for me, I do not really think thoroughly and I realized I do regret for my actions at times. eg: I do blurt out things that are meant to be kept..lol. Trying to flash back on the moments I had with my sis, she rarely complains about her own actions compared to me. To think of it, she really thinks meticulously about her decisions and steps that she has to take.. I think this may be the reason that my sis is a slow decision maker...hahaha.

Have you ever experienced holding someone's hand and found it uncomfortable? My hunch tells me that maybe the thumb's issue plays a role...lol..I am yet to find out.

Giving up is a NO NO!

I just went for a talk which is mainly about the process of the US universities application. I must admit that I am very VERY blur about it. There are many things which I thought would be simple but in actual fact it's intricated!

Luckily, I had attend this talk. It is held in Taylor's College and I surely had benefited from the talk though...However, I realised that I did not have anytime to study for my upcoming exam(Math Foundation). The exam is on Tuesday at 8 to 10pm! I think I will have to skip my dinner..=(

Life is hectic!

What ever it is..I will try my best though. I had said that for about millions times to myself and I should keep my word for it. That has indirectly motivated me in the sense that I will have to do it because I have said that I would! hahaha...

I am retaking my TOEFL hoping that I would at least attain 25 for each section! Damn the reading section! So, my schedule now is much more tight compared to my classmates because I will have to attend to the TOEFL classes again! Then, I got to know that the TOEFL reading is cancelled just an hour ago! yeah! That means that I have time to study and relax in between. God is just afterall! (Okay, God is always fair)

I think I will stop now and start revising for my exam...

Lesson: Although you may be busy, do not give up!

We Create Hope in Life!



Life is surely not as easy as we think it maybe but it will be if...


I met a doctor who once said, "Sometimes life is not about doing something you love to do, but it is about learning to love what you do."


It sounded somewhat weird. There's a way to illustrate what he was really trying to say actually. He was actually telling us about his experience in becoming a doctor. He said he didn't like the night calls and the housemanship but he had to endure all these to achieve what he wants. So, there he is, a successful doctor! Well, he did mentioned that he learned to love what he had to do.


Personally, I didn't like the fact that I had to leave home and stay somewhere far away. Deep inside, I knew that it was best for me to go because it's a hope for me to achieve what I want in life. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Yes, it certainly is.


Even though I am away from my family, I bear something in mind. That's the only thing that keeps my dreams alive. It was the reason I left my family-my future. My hope is to see smiles on their faces when I return home.


...we have a reason and be persistent. Thus, we create hope in life!
