End of the world? Nope, it's just 2013.

Even if it was the end of the world, I would have led my life like usual. I would have gotten my assignments done if I had any or study for exams if there was. Whatever it is, here comes 2013! :D

Again, Ling is busy enjoying herself in places I couldn't go lol so I will do the new post before she does. What went down in 2012? It was the start of my clinical years. It was also the year where I finally have something to say in my surgical history if anyone would clerked me as a patient. Yup, I went through a surgery and not many people know about this. It's just a petty thing called fibrolipoma. Met a minor accident but I wasn't injured. Went for trips during my breaks (Melaka with my KMK sisters, Fraser's Hill and Langkawi with my UKM friends). Debated in my very first international tournament. Starting to cook by myself. Knowing how to drive to Semenyih. Tried bangs for a change. Found close friends. Several ups and downs but it turned out to be okay in the end.

My new year resolutions:
1.No failures in exams anymore. That means I will be studying more often lol.
2.Speaking mandarin and improving my chinese
3.Jogging in the weekends or whenever appropriate
4.Being the filial child as much as I can. Be there for my family when I can
5.Improving my cooking skills

This list looks more reasonable that the ones last year. See so much of practicality in this one lol. Grown to be wiser and smarter. I'm going to embrace 2013 with no hate and regrets. We only live life once so don't worry it away. Do things while you can. :)

The Pioneer

It was on 15 December 2012. Finally it became a reality. Personally, an accomplishment for me. I never knew it was that difficult to start off something although I was well informed that it ain't gonna be easy. And soon, I knew lol. The process of making this real was not as smooth as I thought it would have been. Thank you to all who have helped to make this a successful event especially to my committee members and also to my seniors who trusted me on this (I bet they had sleepless nights too lol-sorry for the worries and troubles). The ups and downs were never ending. At one point, I doubted myself whether it would actually happen for real. Glad it did. :)

Being the pioneer wasn't easy but I always believe that there's the brighter side to everything. For me, it was for my juniors. People say we don't work for ourselves but we work for our children. Here it means I'm the parent instead (omg, I feel so much like a parent now. Yes, I can be very protective over people I care about lol). It may not be the right saying to depict what I really wanna say but the principle is the same.

I knew that I wasn't the best example or the best leader to be looked up upon but my intentions are clear. I failed to please everyone. I just like to get things done my way. I did try to keep my cool and learn to deal with things in a calmer manner. When I think back, I'd rather it to have this event than something else that's not gonna work. At least, I have the taste of it and soon I will need to guide my juniors on this.

It was a great feeling but definitely exhausting. In the end, what matters most was having people to enjoy on that day and gain something from it. Let's see how it goes next year. :)

In a small place called Beranang

After going through the tough times in surgery and O&G postings, it was finally time for JKM or w what they call the Medicine and Society posting. We were all posted to a place called Beranang which is kinda near Semenyih. Had a great time there although I did spend a LOT of time travelling to KL, Cheras and sometimes to Bangi. All because of a medical debate (That's another story to be told lol). 

Anyway, I've learned to understand how things work in a kampung and also how to mingle with my coursemates. I guess it was because of this posting, I started to have more friends other than those from my usual hangout friends in UKM. And yes, I will definitely remember those times here-the never ending presentations, the hot days during survey, the times in the kitchen helping out to cook, the times I went out with my friends, the pasar malam nights and of course the generosity of the villagers.:)

Adios JKM! Here comes my final posting for my 3rd year. Internal Medicine! :) *praying for wisdom and luck*

Can't Wait to Cook Again

Yes that's right! I am planning to do some grocery shopping later, in  about an hour from now. I miss cooking my own food and trying to replicate dishes that I miss so much. I am going to get some tofu and start cooking them for dinner and possibly lunch if I get to make it home before I get hungry...lol. I am not going to make 'Yuk Sui Tofu' which I really miss a lot because it's going to be hard to make the sauce from scratch. However, I am going to make some spicy tofu dish, Sze Chuan style, obviously from the paste itself..lol.

Alright, I can't wait to start cooking! Feeling so excited! :)

Btw, the tofu below is called 'Yuk Sui Tofu' in Cantonese and it is one of my favorite tofu dish of all time. ;)

Finals on the way...

As suggested in the title, my exams are around the corner..:(
These past few days were not the most productive moments because of these few reasons:

1. The weather was horrible. It has been up and down these past few days..cold at some days and warmer on the next. I think this has really caused most people to get sick. :/

2. I am having a really really bad flu..Not only my nose is blocked for most of time but also, I can't sleep well..That sucks a little and not to mention, I am wasting tissue papers! Can't help it, blame it on the flu..

3. I am addicted to another series, "The Walking Dead" , thanks to my friend.. watched it by skipping some parts of the episodes and now, I am up to date to the latest episode..so, in other words, I can't watched it now because there is no more to watch until the new episode airs..lol.

4. I am lazy. Well, this was because last week was torturous. Exam, quizzes and assignments were due on each  day of the week and that sure did made me sleep lesser...so, I am technically catching up on sleep as well.

Oh ok, I am going back to my assignments and studying now.. Byeeeeeeee!
