Why did I choose medicine?!

To run, or not to run?

Azman says I'm hot. Smoking hot. Thanks!

I'm so popular. In one week, my name appeared in 3 blogs: Azman, Foo and ChoonSeng(he named an entry by my name!).. heehee.. should tag more people.

This week seems to be about 2 things: marathon and relationship stuff.

Azman and Foo have just gone for KL International Marathon, this Sunday they'll be going for Port Dickson's Half Marathon. Good luck!! Everyone seems to be into marathons lately (even Kenny Sia), or maybe I'm only noticing it now.

The guy's body looks hot though.

Sounds fun, but I think I'll settle for walkathons. As bimbo-ish as this may sound, at least its more applicable to my life: I'll have more energy when I go shopping! Haha.. you don't see people running when they're shopping, right? Unless it's the Ikea sale..

Soon Han was telling us about some Chinese article telling the 3 things to make a woman happy:
1. Listen to her
2. Compliment her
3. Feed her good food

Feed her good food? What happened to being honest to her? Impressing her parents? Impressing her girlfriends? Supporting her every dreams? Being there for her at troubled times?? How did food get so high in the list? I know if this was '3 things to make a guy happy', feeding him good food would be high on the list.. but for women?

By the way, when I say I'm an ambience person more than a food person, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate good food, or a guy who takes me to eat good food. Food is very subjective, a guy may say the food is great, only to find out later it's not my type of food.. am I going to judge him for not knowing me better? Nope. I'll just smile politely and hope he doesn't take me there again next time. Or I'll order something else if there is a next time.

I'm just the kind of person who'd take you to a place mostly for its ambience, not so much the food. Cos God knows I can't tell what guys like.. such confusing creatures :p

Even CF(Christian Fellowship) meetings seem to be about boy-girl relationships.

After my study group session, Azman, JennYi and I started talking about relationships and being married bla bla bla...

Overall, I am happy about 2 things: I'm a single, available, 'dating' (SAD! heehee..) young lady who doesn't need a man to feel complete. I can do and achieve so much by myself. And I have no deadline as to when I should be married. Forget about rushing to be married before my 30s. I'll leave everything in God's hands. I'll just happily make as many friends as I can and enjoy being young and independent. A few days ago, my dad told me that he doesn't care whether I get married or not. As long as I achieve what I want in life. Aww.. but my mum will give you a different answer.

Time to be in Surgery!! I aim to impress.. muahaha! Yeah right.. die die die

Feed me

I've lost 2kg in 2 weeks. Depression must be taking its toll..

OKlah.. I was kidding. Ain't depressed no more. I'm all happy again. But I did lose weight. So many people were commenting on it this week. I went to my usual beauty saloon for an appointment today, and the staff were like, "Don't lose weight anymore! You're perfect already-lah.." (I still question their sincerity when they say I'm perfect.. should I tip more?)

So if you're a guy looking for a date with a girl who'll eat a buffet with you, hint hint.. Sasha's "Get back 2kg" campaign starts this week. If you're a girl, I'll eat with you too (I can't be too choosy, right? Heehee..).

I'm enjoying Anaesthesia. I saw some really cool stuff in the operation theather this week. Like epidurals, spinal anaesthesia, a caudal block in a 4 month old child (she was so adorable!).. The weirdest thing I saw was this guy who had sustained injuries when he was attacked by 2 men with a parang. He had 2 long laceration wounds on his head which needed suturing, and his thumb was cut in half! Not cut across, I mean longitudinally. Like if you looked at his hand, it looked like he had 6 fingers.

Blergh. Poor guy.

Only thing I'm put off about Anaesthesia is a certain lecturer who has endless grandfather stories. But I still respect and admire him. I like how he tells us about the big, bad medicolegal issues doctors get themselves into.. I'll be praying everyday I don't screw up badly one day like them.

I watched a small concert, "Mozart's The Magic Flute" in KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) with CheeYoong and a new friend, Jenny today. Overall, I'd say it's OK only. But I'm still jealous of the musicians. After 2 years of learning the flute, I still think I suck at it. Note to self: Practise more!!

There's nothing much left to tell. So I'll just end with the 6 weird things about me: (thanks alot, HengJeng.. :p ). In short,

1. I can't stand the sound of doors when they close with a "Bang!" So if anyone's noticed, whenever I open any door, I'll always close it. Even if it's a door that can swing close by itself. I'll still hold the door and close it slowly.

2. I cover my mouth when I talk during meals. It's a habit I got when I used to wear braces and food stuff were always stuck to the stupid braces. I'm so scared of having someone tell me that there's food stuck in between my teeth.

3. When I walk up stairs, I walk on my toes. I have no idea why. But those who noticed would ask me whether I took ballet when I was young. The answer is no, mind you..

4. I have the tendency to look at feets. Especially if a guy I'm going out with takes off his shoes and his feet is there for me to 'analyse'. It's not a fetish ok?! My mum taught me that if a guy has clean feet (including his toenails), he's a clean, neat person, since feet hygiene is so easily neglected. I'll kill any guy who tries to put his feet to my face from now on after he reads this.

5. *edited* I had second thoughts about what I put here earlier. But if you read it, no biggie.. Another weird thing I can think of is my punctuality. As long as I am in control, I am always ready and dressed up at least half an hour before I have to go somewhere. If I'm late, it's usually 5-10 minutes. KarSeng was picking me up to go clubbing in Trilogy, when I told him to wait 5 minutes(for me to get to his car from my condo), he was surprised that I didn't take longer. "I'd expected you'd take half an hour more for make-up." The days I'm late, it's usually caused by something that was out of my control. In my family, I'm the earliest to be ready everytime.

6. Lizards scare me to death. I've had 3 episodes where a lizard fell onto my head. Everywhere I live, lizards will always come to my bedroom instead of the other bedrooms. I remember nights where I dreamt of a lizard falling on me while I was sleeping, and I woke up instantly throwing my blanket and checking my hair only to end up crying! I hate being so scared. Whoever marries me and discovers me crying suddenly in the middle of the night will laugh their head off when I say that I dreamt of a lizard falling on me. But after he finish laughing, I'll kill him.

Done! I tag Azman, CheeYoong, SiewLian, ChoonSeng, Gene, and WeiShung! Sorry, ya? Your turn to tell 6 weird things about yourself and tag 6 other bloggers.

After all that, what do I get?

Don't make me go back..

I've been in a bit of a depression lately. Sorry for the lack of updates.
Seremban sucks. Semester 9 sucks. I suck :p

The lead suit is so heavy! It's torture to even smile for this picture. It makes my white coat feel like a feather on my shoulder..

Aziah and Naiemah. My partners-in-crime in the Radiology Department. Go together-skip together!

I'm done with my two weeks in Radiology. While my Radiology attachment itself is not bad, I still think the last 2 weeks being back in Seremban is the worst time of my life ever since I've started clinicals. The stupid thing is, I can't explain why. Compared to the rest in my batch, I wake up the latest, go home the earliest, and the best part is there's no pressure to study or prepare for the next day. Normal people in my position would take this opportunity to go out and have fun. But you know what dumb people like me do? Drag my butt to the library at every moment and study. Study!! Man.. I have not seen any place other than my condo, IMU, hospital and the KTM station(plus one 5 minute trip to 7-Eleven) since I've been back. I've only eaten at the new canteen in IMU(which is not bad.. only thing their food is decreasing in quantity and increasing in price day by day). And my appetite has hit rock-bottom, not a good sign for someone who eats alot.

Mini 'Curry Leaf' restaurant.. but oddly enough, we call it 'Starbucks'.

I did go to Trilogy once. But not to club. Just went for some dinner gathering with batchmates to welcome two Japanese exchange students(girls by the way.. I wonder if they were guys would they have received similar treatment..). But just as the party was starting, I took the opportunity to go straight home to bed. My excuse was that I was coughing. Which was true.. got sick and an irritating dry cough as soon as my holiday ended. Last thing I want was to breath in cigarrette smoke to make things worse.

New occupant of the motorcycle parking space. Awww..

Another reason was that I have no mood to dance to hiphop-techno music in a dark room at the moment. The only dancing I want to do is be under the sun and spin around so much that the only sound I hear is my heart beat going faster. However, the thought of getting high on alcohol sounds more inviting than dancing now. With that in mind, it's better I avoid any place with alcohol going around freely for now *sigh*.

The only perks I get lately are the weekends I get to spend with my cousins in KL. Last weekend we watched '300', which was oh-so-good by the way. This weekend? I've been invited to go sunbathing tomorrow. Haha.. I won't tell where. All I know I'll be sleeping beside some hotel swimming pool wishing I never have to go back to Seremban the next day.

I don't think there's anything I want to say anymore. I'm just hoping things get better soon.

Yellow Monkey misses White Monkey so much *sniff sniff* Hope psych exam went well.. You have a freaking car!! Not fair.. conclusion: my life sucks.
