The first thing I got home was to have myself standing on the weighing machine. As I've promised myself, one of the targets I had set earlier this year was to increase my weight. Being underweight for the past 20++years, I have always trying to increase my weight. My BMI (body mass index) was always under 18kg/m2. I didn’t really mean to offense those who are trying to reduce weight, but I’m really a hard-gainer. Lose weight to me is very easy, but gain weight is like harder than passing an exam. Anyway, after a few months of intensive workout and high-caloric diet, my weight seems to increase “a bit”. Really glad that I've finally gotten into the category of “normal weight”. And my BMI now is 20 kg/m2. However, this is just the beginning. To maintain the weight is another story. And I know in the following few months, my weight will sure drop, as my following posting will be very busy and stressful. Then the whole cycle have to start again. What to do! I can just try as much as possible to carb up myself during this one week holiday before the next big lose...haha...

Unlike most sci-fi film, "District 9" shows a rather different presentation of alien invasion. Instead of showing high technology weapon of aliens and hostile attack by alien, the aliens were sadly the refugees contained in a place known as District 9 in this film. The director brilliantly making the film in a faux-documentary style which eventually turn into a touching heroic story. Without any big name behind the film, it still definitely have the goods. It reflects on cruel human nature, diversity and some controversial issues, including weaponry trading, illegal experiments, violence, etc. The interesting concept with a captivating backstory had make the film a success. It's not a film with high budget, thrilling special effects, or mass action scene, but the compelling characters had exceed beyond all these. Overall, this is a nice film, and it's really worth watching it.

Hai hai, it’s been a “long” time since I’ve last updated my blog…very sorry, shouldn’t have left my pity blog “unattended”…O&G posting had been keeping me busy (excuses,haha!!). The “junior houseman” thing really had made my life upside down. Day work of 7am to 5pm, then on call from 5pm until 7am tomorrow, continue day work the next day until 5pm, this is how they treat houseman, can’t even think of a good night sleep, just to make you feel miserable. Anyway, I did have some good time. It was not as bad as what I thought initially, and I really have learnt a lot as compare to my third year. By the way, my supervisor was NICE. In fact, all doctors in yellow team are nice. And I even had chance to assist in a few surgeries, which to me is very exhausting. The incision is small but you have to stretch and retract it to expose all pelvic organs. Trust me, it needs a lot of energy, and by half way your biceps, triceps, deltoid and brachioradialis (basically most muscles of upper limb) had become fatigue, but you still have to retract it steadily. Pathetically, an assistant job is to suck, dap, cauterize, and retract only,
don’t get it wrong. Anyway, really have to thanks all the doctors who have taught me a lot of things, and of course, this includes doctors in Hospital
Slim River. For your information, I was posted in Hospital Slim River (somewhere in south of Perak) for 2 weeks, and I like the hospital very much. The doctors and staffs are all very nice and it was not as busy as UKMMC. We all just relax and enjoy there. Finally, the O&G posting had come to an end. What a relieve! But still, it was a fruitful posting…

At time the world can seem as an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good than bad, all you have to do it’s to look hard enough, and what might seems to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first step of a journey
"A Series of Unfortunate Events"
There are a lots of ups and downs in our life, and you might wonder why unfortunate events always happen on you, and you might blame the world why treat you as such. Instead of blaming, why don't you just change your perception, and you might see a better world. Had faith in you, be strong, it might be a long and difficult journey, but don't be afraid, because you have friends to go with you, holding your hand. Cheers!!

Yesterday, 2 of my friends and I, out of no where, decided to go SS2 for dinner. It takes around 1 hours for us to reach there due to the traffic jam, and my stomach has already started grumbling before we even depart. Pathetic, craving for food, and with all the stupid traffic jam, we finally reach SS2. Well, SS2 is really a food paradise, various of food choices here, and most are recommended. I've been here a couple of times just for dinner or lunch. So, we went to this restaurant, One Noodle Restaurant "全一拉面", as the name applied, best ramen in the area. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice, quiet and comfortable, and the service is quite good. We ordered a "Shang Hai Steamed Dumpling", a "Tom Yam Seafood La Mien", a "Curry Seafood La Mien" and a " Shrimp and Fish La Mien".
The la mien was really nice, very Q and tasty. The soup was delicious and full of seafood: prawns, oysters, mussels, scallops, etc. And all came in a big bowl. Although it was a bit expensive, but still worth the price. I will definitely come here for lamien again, hehe!!!

My goodness...After struggling for many days, I finally finished my first reflective writing in my fifth year. For you information, unlike previous batch of medical students, we have to write reflective writings as part of our Personal and Professional Development module (
PPD). And since first year, we have been writing more than forties of them. It always take me a long time just to write one and it's really suffer because I'm not really a reflective type of person. Like what
Gine said, I always have to squeeze my "creative juice" from my long drought brain, and the "juice" just drip instead of gush (what a horrible metaphor). It's not that I don't have ideas on how to write it, in fact, I have so many ideas, but the ideas are just so vague that I just don't know how to form it into sentences. Anyway, I managed to finish it and really felt relieves for it (for not continuing squeezing my brain, it really hurts). *sigh*
