Touched :)

Watched this and I was touched by what he did and still doing. Love is indeed a powerful thing. Though it had been misused for some wrong reasons (eg committing suicide), it had pushed people to do something amazing. Why are we desperately searching for a superhero when everyone can be one if one will just show his/her love and lend a helping hand?

While watching this, I was reminded of my ward round with Prof Goh on Wednesday. Since we were doing the GIT system, he brought us to see a few patients who are suffering from liver-related diseases. He started off by demonstrating abdominal examination on the first patient. He told us that in order to perform the examination, the best position is to sit on a chair. If there's no chair or a modern bed where you can lift up the bed, you kneel. Then he dropped to his knees besides the patient's bed and started the examination. Till now, I still can't erase that image out of my mind. I still remember the first time I saw his title (Prof. Dato' Dr), we were like 'wow' and of course, we somehow thought that with a title like this, he's going to be a malignant one. But thank God, it's quite the opposite. And seeing him in that position besides a patient who has no relation whatsoever to him, my mind drifted to the ROSE (Reaching Out to Students through English) training programme. One of the speaker stressed that this programme is all about love and when he asked me THE question on why I chose medic, I answered: Because this is a noble profession. And on that Wednesday morning, I was shown on how truly noble is the job. It may not be something extravaganza but sometimes, it's the little act that touches people's heart more than ever. I'll definitely work hard towards my dream of becoming a good doctor and pray that God will guide me through this journey too :)

重蹈覆辙. 1 saying, 4 characters, yet it threatened to open up the wound that I forcefully sutured up.

Thanks :)

Thank You, Lord :)

Thank You so much for everything. It may not be much but I am equally thankful. I know that if it isn't for You, things will be even horrible. Just pray that as I'm starting another hectic chapter in my second year, You'll still be my side. I can foresee busy months with late-night practices and all but I will not fret nor complain for I know that You'll not abandon me.

I promise that I'll work even harder. I'll learn from the mistakes and improve myself. Just pray that You'll guide and lead me too.

Thank You, Lord. I don't know what I'd done to deserve a love like Yours but I am thankful :)

P.S: Thanks also for the very understanding friends and roomie :)
It's not easy when both your parents are teachers. I had tried but somehow it's just difficult to let my mum understand that medical school is really different from secondary school. Last time, everything seemed to be easy and getting anything less than A was bad. But now, things are different yet I fail to let them see the difference. Can I just forget the comments that you said? :(

Pictures :)

"A picture is worth a thousand words." That was what Prof. Goh told us last week when he brought us to see the doctors performing endoscopy and colonoscopy. It's great to have him as our professor for medicine round :) And I really agree with him when he said that our aim in medical school is not just to pass our exam, it's about learning as much as we can to be a good doctor and make our parents proud of us. I may not be the smartest one and I admit that though I may had read the pages 3 or 4 times, I still find it hard to remember every single thing. But I still want to try my best. All I want to be is a good doctor and even if it means no holiday, no rest and no leisure, I still want to go for it. I'm really thankful to God that I have the chance to be in the seat where tons of students fought for and still fight for every year :) Just pray that I'll have the strength and the wisdom to go through the remaining 4 years in medical school :)

Picture time!!!

The bear that I got :)


The lovely card :) Really miss playing the piano...


The warm wishes :)

The little present that the 'us' in cg gave me :)

Something special from my 'twin' :)

Another trip to the bookshop!!! This time I only got 5 books. Must save money :P

One of Baby Blues comic and a snowman book mark that I got for Michelle for her Christmas gift :)

2 candy each for Michelle's sister, Catherine and Melissa :)

The lovely book thong that I got after renewing my membership card. Can't believe I'd been buying books from Bookxcess for 3 years. And I'll still continue to go there to get all my books :D

Since tomorrow is a holiday, I'm going to spend the whole night reading :) Once lectures start to get busy, I'll definitely miss this time when I can lay back and enjoy my novel. Well, it's one sacrifice that I'm willing to make :)

First post of a 20-year-old :)

Well, finally, I'm 20. All these while, I'd been telling people that I'm 19 and now that 2nd December had passed, I guess I have to admit that I'm 20.

All these years, my birthdays were always during the school holiday and I only celebrated with my family. This year, it's really my first time having friends secretly planning my birthday and throwing me a surprise and having people besides my family singing birthday song to me. It may not be extravaganza but I'm really thankful and touched.

Thanks for the lovely meal at Pasta Zanmai. Though at the end, I had to force myself to swallow down the plate of pasta, it was undeniably a nice meal :)

Thanks for the walk and all the photos we took around Mid Valley with the warm and adorable Christmas decorations. Though I was tired and couldn't stop yawning, it was nice to have you girls around :)

Thanks for the birthday songs and the surprise at 12.00 am. Though the smell of whipping cream haunted me for a day, it was touching to know that you girls remembered my birthday and took the trouble to celebrate with me :)

Thanks for the adorable bow-tie bear and the card by Han Jun, Chu Yee, Cheng Nee, Aileen, Winnie and Choon Fong. Though it was not easy to buy a bear and hide it in the bag while walking around Mid Valley with me, it was my first time receiving a bear and I can't seem to take my eyes off it :)

Thanks for the birthday songs during lecture. Though it was a little bit awkward with people looking at me and singing to me, it truly made my day :)

Thanks for the birthday song and the birthday present from the 'us' of the cg group. Though I don't know who exactly are the 'us', it's really a blessing to know you guys and I pray that we'll all grow stronger in God :)

Thanks for the lovely dinner by my parents who came all the way here just to celebrate my birthday. Though there wasn't any cake like previous years, the meal was nice and warm and I'm really thankful to have a family like this :)

Thanks for all the wishes via sms, facebook and face-to-face. Though I had to reply 100 ++ wishes on facebook, I was smiling while doing so :)

Thankfully, the final is over. It was really my first time spending my study week at home, skipping the ward round during the study week (and I still feel guilty) and crying a lot (without my parents presence, of course). Result is coming out soon and the thought of it is sufficient to make me go nuts. I wished I'd done better but I know I cannot turn back the clock so I'd been pushing it to the back of my mind. Just pray that everything will turn out to be alright. No matter what happen, I will continue to praise Your name, dear Lord :)

At the bright side, I finally have some time to indulge myself in novel-reading. I told myself I'll stop after the 3rd one. Then I continued to the 4th one and told myself the same thing. And now, I'm reading the 5th one. Sigh... Can't believe that what was a pleasure to me has become a guilty pleasure ever since I became a medical student. But it's nice to escape to another world when I feel bored and lazy. The past weekend had been boring. The floor was almost empty. Most of the girls went back, 2 girls went dating and roomie had a family problem which forced her to pack her bag and left on Friday (I'm sorry to hear the news, roomie).

I guess I better stop before this gets any longer and mundane. Was planning to upload some photos but something went wrong with the memory card. Hmmm... Will post the photos once I figure out what went wrong with the memory card (though I doubt I will ever understand all those technical items).

Toodles :)

Books!!!

I can't help but to post this. Hehe :P


I heart bookxcess for all the great books :)

It has been a long long long time since I last took photos of the bulk of books I bought (normally from bookxcess). But thanks to Shelfari, I am able to keep track of the books in my mini-library :)

So starting from now on, I'll remember to take photos. And it just makes me happy to see the books :) I'm such a great bookworm :D

One thing about being a medical student. I need to munch and digest all the pathology, parasitology, medical microbiology and pharmacology notes and books until I got no time to read :(

So many books, so little time to read :(

Mood Score :)

It's hard to pin point a value for I myself also don't know what's the score.

Now, there're waves of calmness in me. Looking back at the previous posts, I realised I was really troubled by the events happening.

For the past few days, the words of God had been really helpful to me. People asked me to just cry and let everything out but I managed to find all the excuses of not to do so. Too busy, must concentrate, must study, need more rest, don't want to wake up with panda bengkak eyes...

Now I found the most perfect way to feel happy. Just pray and put all my troubles away. It's great to know that He is always there for me, sharing my burden and take away my fear and sadness.

Thanks for listening to my prayers and thank You for always watching me. Though I am not worthy of it but thank You for your love. There's nothing greater that Your love :)

Mood score - Because of You, from low to high :)
