God be with us all

My big brother from another mother Mr Geowin Solo-woman going for his surgery tomorrow. To remove some plantar warts. I pray that everything goes well for him in the OT, and he will recover quick enough and in time to be fit to kick ass in the upcoming IMU Cup.

Oh and must pass this EOS first. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

re: Kar

The pictures we took at Maison's! Finally gotten to upload them. Didn't take much there though. Heh Leslie head somehow always can't stay in the picture.

The first weekend without exams. Just can't believe that one can be this relieved and happy and carefree. Spent the Saturday at Pavillon. Very nice place, though I have no money with 3 of my friends *ahem ahem* owing me money still. Still, a great place to unwind and relax with the gf, who also finished her exam.

Then today Sunday we went there again haha, this time with her family as well. Ahh holidays sure are fun. And later, EURO FINALS!!! There isn't a team that I really support though, but since the gf is supporting Spain, and she always supports Man Utd with me, I will root for Casillas and co. Also because the Germans don't play as attractive football.

Karmen I'm so sorry!! I'll upload the group pictures we took at the club tomorrow ok!! =) Though I am not in the pic cuz I was taking the shots. ROAR.

You want mini cupcake too?

Went to Bangsar Village with the gf today. Just didn't register in me that I should bring more money out cuz we are going shopping, and in Bangsar as well it ain't cheap. So most of the money spent today was on food.

KL tonight!!

Another EOS over and done with, I hope. OSPE was tough. Really tough. Need to pray damn hard, pray I can pass. And to think that I was aiming to get a B+ or at least a B-.

Boohoo.

Ah well no use crying over spilled milk. Gonna enjoy for now!

Joyful days are here to stay

First day of OSCE was today. The epitome of nervousness I tell you. Damn. And to make it worse my first two stations were, and are going to be, physical examination stations. I thought that it will good to get them done with and out of the way but I was wrong like I've never been wrong before. Started with a chest expansion, but somehow it didn't register in my mind that it said 'POSTERIOR' chest expansion. Wasted time there and hence couldn't do the vocal resonance thing. Then 2nd station was taking blood pressure. The only thing I didn't practice as I thought I still remembered how to do it.

See? Piece of cake.

But guess what happened after I fastened the velcro cuff and started to pump? The velcro cuff just opened. Now how in the hibby-jibbies did that happen?! God knows. It was then I say the doctor inside the room marking dashes across the marking scheme. Superfuck. I carried on hoping to get a few marks though, and this time when I started to pump the mercury went out and down and up and down like a porn star on top of some guy. CCB I forgot to close the lock on the pump.

Thank God I had a rest station after that to regroup my mind and calm down. And the next station was a BS history taking (my fav - Zhiven out of jealously said that it is caused I'm good in seducing older women, poor lost kid) which got me back on track.

Then came Htin Aung, and his 'DO NOT KNOCK THE FREAKING DOOR' sign. CCB my heart went haywire again, but luckily it was apex beat and locate thrills. So I was happily doing and found the apex beat. Or so I thought. Cuz he then stopped my just when I was about to report the position and said, "It is a sin to lie, son. We, as professionals and doctors, are here to help and serve. If I can't locate the apex beat, how can you?" CCB CCB. I just apologised saying it wouldn't happen again and carried on cuz I only have way less than 5 minutes left now! But I did finish, and didn't get 'char-ed' by him again - on the contrary it was the best physical exam station. Wtf.

And tomorrow for sure it will be lymph nodes and GI. And maybe rectal. Joyful days are here to stay.

Hoho what did I say? Guus is a magician, and he has done it again. Yea I supported Holland before the start of Euro, only because England weren't in it. But then Holland had always disappointed when it comes to the knockout rounds, and they did it again. Brilliant in the group stages, played more like, well, Holland last night. Arshavin opened the frail Dutch defense like a can of sardines, and Pavlyuchenko, who only scored 2 out of the 19 shots he had in this Euro, scored. And could have scored 2 more as well. Van der Sar played well, but the decision not to start van Persie was bad. The decision not to bring on Robben was worse. Ah but history was always not going to favor Holland in this game - the last time a team won all group games and won the Euro was in 1984 when France did it.

Big day tomorrow. Hope I get some decent sleep tonight. And not get sick or some shitty cold like on my GI+Haemato exam day.

Don't worry ok?

Oh my fuck this is the final weekend before the EOS. Traditionally I don't usually study the weekend before my exams. Since O-levels till EOS 2. Wonder if I should do it again. Probably not such a good idea.

I want to play Metal Gear Solid 4! I would buy a PS3 just to play that game damnit. And to think that some people who already own one are not interested in playing the game. Philistines.

And of course GTA 4. Damnit.

And this new game 'Spore'. Sounds and looks awesome. Damnit.

Aooga

Bring back 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'!! I miss that show so much...

Guess it is down to this last week. 6 more days to EOS. Alarm bells a-ringing. Trying my best to stay focussed. Really need too huh. Ahh I created so many acronyms and songs-for-memorizing-stuff that I hope I can actually remember them come the day of the exam. Anyone who can guess what the acronym below is is most definitely a m-freaking Einstein.

Usually
I
Always
Need
Both
Dicks
Present
Cos
Cunts
Are
Pretty
Crowded

*hint: Think GI. Still don't get it fool? Think jaundice. Still don't get it? Whatever.

Random days

One more week to the biggest exams of my life so far. Hope I am prepared. 4 systems ain't easy, but it sure isn't that difficult as well. Really want to make it to Sem 4. I was wondering just the other day - why people always make plans for the future when so much can change within evan the next 5 minutes? Or in this case so many people have been talking about the events to be taking place in the next half-a-year in the next semester and all. I also have been doing it so...guess it is only human. Gives us a sense of hope and something to look forward to. Imagine if all of us do not have this thinking capability. What a horrible place the world would be. Worse than it already is.

Sundays are here again. CSI was quite good this afternoon. Even CSI Miami was good. Decided to include a picture of its star Horatio Caine. Heh heh heh.


Ok he isn't that bad, he is just one of your typical love-him-or-hate-him guys. So I took the personal liberty of compiling shots of him. The gf is gonna kill me haha.




Oh yea. Superfly and supercool. Talk about the overkill on the usage of sunglasses.

And this, my dear readers, is the end of this blog entry. *puts on sunglasses and walks out of the camera view* YEEAAAAAAAAA!!!

Ondine's Curse?!

This headache is going to kill me. My occipital area bloody hurts. As if someone clubbed me on the back of my head, and my brain with all the cerebrospinal fluid flowing out and pressing against my skull. Feels like the Detroit Pistons full-court pressing and double teaming my freaking head and pressurizing and squeezing the life out of me.

First group stage of Euro '08 is over. And a bit of the 2nd group stage. Switzerland is out. Portugal are in. Guss Hiddink and his Russians disappointed me so far. The Dutch were brilliant. The Germans quiet and efficient as always. We'll see then what happens in the second round.

EOS is starting to get into my nerves now. Keep having random freaking out times and random dreams about random events which I don't remember. Hmm this post is going nowhere. And I am losing my attention and concentration span for not just studying but quite a few things.

Wow I can actually feel my brain shutting down right as I type this. Quite amazing and at the same time freaky. I need to stay alive and awake to study damnit! Oh crap.

Diddly

Man this EOS really is the killer.

On the other hand, happy 9 months to us!

=)

What a Sunday

I hate my nose and respiratory tract.

When it is time

In the ferry on the way to Pangkor Island.

On the deck of the ferry.

Gay on the left. Don't ask what we were doing.

Heh heh heh.

The ass-jump-of-glory.

Messing about at the swings. It was a frigging hot afternoon.

The last morning there. This is me favorite shot hehe. =)

These pictures are way overdue, I know. Yep the gf and I paid Pangkor another visit on the 23rd of May, this time with her parents, brother and Xinru. How I wish I am still there instead of having to be couped up under house-arrest like Aung San Suu Kyi. With the sea at my doorstep, with the pure sunrise and sunset just a window's glance away.

For more pictures you can check the gf's blog here.

And finally the weekend has arrived! Well, not like it makes any difference to studying, but yea. More of because Euro '08 is going to kick off! Woohoo! And hopefully I can spare a little time to go out with the gf. Haven't gone out in AGES. =\

Who?

As I wander down the memory road I remember the times I had in primary school. Then moving on to secondary school was one of the most memorable times of my life cuz at the same time my family and I moved to a new place to stay. It was fun, a new beginning, at the same time a terrifying one as the environment was new, and there weren't much of my old friends moving to that secondary school. I was, even at that young age, beginning to experience letting go, starting anew, adjusting to a new place and new faces.

Fast forward that a few years later and I was accepted into IMU. Away from home. On another country - well technically not, I'm a M'sian. Starting this long journey to becoming a doctor. Note after note, exam after exam. The world is indeed a cruel one, and I'm just at the tip of the iceberg. I remember discussing why the world is rotting during my A-level times in JIS with my Chemistry (shudders) lecturer Mr Pluck, a very cool guy. Used to play the electric guitar for a British underground band. He said, "In this world, there are no good people or bad people. Just uneducated fools who couldn't care less." Looking recent events I guess it is more and more obvious.

Ahhh just wish life could be a little more carefree. Just a little. Too much and I will just rot on the inside - like the time after my A-levels and I had 6 months to kill before entering IMU. God that was one of the most boring times of my life.

Changing the topic - can't help it the torrential rainfall is disturbing - to this weather problem. Or rather, global warming. It is real, it is happening, and you all got to be 'uneducated fools' if you all don't notice and try to make a change. There are more and more natural disasters in the world. Cyclones everywhere. Since when does it rain this often in June?? It is the South-West monsoon now for crying out loud!

Euro is starting in 3 days??! Shits-zo I just realized it. All hail midnight football matches again! There goes my morning studies. Should I support The Netherlands? Though they have been always disappointing on the big stage and their group is the Group of Death. I would think France and Italy will come out from that group. Hmm. Looking at the draw I guess Germany or Spain then...they have a clearer road (including the Q-finals) to the Finals. But Russia....with Guus? (remember what he did when he managed South Korea in World Cup 2002?) Good chance too, after all they did beat Beckham and his merry English band.

Lucky

2 down, 2 to go.

If only the weather can be kinder. Why does it rain when we don't want it to rain, and doesn't rain when we want to?

'Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?' - Travis.

Boy what a slow day today is turning out to be - study wise anyway. Just can't seem to get started. Bloody slow, literally, since I'm doing heamato now.
