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*

10th of May, an important day for me, the day I was brought into this world, with full of anticipation and excitement, I was the first son and grandson for my parents and grandparents. According to my mother, I was said to bring luck to my grandfather as he won a 4D after I was born. Miracle hah!!

This year is my 23rd birthday, time really flies, so fast, I have passed my life for 23 years, thank God for giving me this wonderful life. I would never imagine myself having such good achievements in this stage of life, I'm blessed, and I hope I can have better achievement in the future, and strive the best.

While this might be the last birthday I have in my undergraduate programme, I would like to say thank you deeply from my heart to all my friends, who had been keep sending birthday message to me throughout the last 24 hours, thank you for the present (by the way, this is the second time I received a book as present, still indeed, its a valuable and useful present, and I will treasure this book throughout my lifetime), thank you for the dinner and thank you for the...after party,haha!!! You guys are really good friends, I can never live without you guys, and please just let me say it one more time, thank you.

With love...and happy birthday...

An ordinary girl from a small town of India , Chandigarh, decided to move to Mumbai, to pursue her dream of becoming a supermodel. "Fashion" depicts the reality of the glamorous and glittering world through the protagonist's eye. Evolves around alcoholic, smoking, drugs, affair, homosexual, sex, abortion, "Fashion" exposed the evil side of this sophisticated industry.

Stared by Miss World year 2000, Priyanka Chopra played as a small town girl, Meghna Mathur, who against her father's wishes, leaving her home trying to strike the fame in the modeling world. After struggling for some time, she finally reached the peak of her success and become the favourite faces of every designers across India. However, with the success over her head, she gradually found herself losing her humanity consciously, looking herself changing from an angel to a demon, doing things against her moral will, which then causing her career to a pitfall.

Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, a top director of India, he had made the movie so real and convincing and yet still commercial. The depth analysis of fashion world and brutal issues depicts in the movies had made the work so unique. Together with the brilliant cast, this is an incredible and thrilling movie.

Finally, after waiting for 3 consecutive days, from 6.30am until 4pm everyday, I had finally performed my second and last forensic case. In case if some readers don’t understand what I’m talking about, medical students are required to perform two autopsies after observing ten of them. I means literally putting your hands on the corpse, dissect it and pull out every organ, either it’s fresh or decomposited. Scary?! Nope. As one of the forensic attendants told us, living human are more dangerous than the dead one, at least they cannot cause harm to you. Ok, back to the story. It’s very difficult to get one case, mostly one or two cases per week, and there are plenty students waiting to perform one. Therefore, three of my “crazy” friends and I, with the “kia su” spirit, plan to come as early as possible, afraid that we would miss one case. After waited for a long time, on the second day afternoon, at last, one case came in and was waiting for police order to be performed. Poor us, after waited for 2 hours, the police order still haven’t come in, the staff told us that the case will most probably performed on the next day, four of us, once again, with the tired broken heart, dragging our feet, going back. The next day, as usual, reach there at 6.30am, with full hope that the case will be performed that day, once again, waiting there like a “fool” for police order. Pathetic, police order didn’t come the whole morning, Prof Sharoom, our “savior”, stop by and pity at us, decided to call the police himself. Finally, Prof Sharoom got the police order and allowed us to perform the autopsy. After waited for a long time, finally we can perform a case. As what Yee Pin said, "my whole life is just about waiting, waiting for this waiting for that, burn all our precious time". Good luck for those who haven't performed it. Gambateh!

P/S: By the way, Suk Thing was extra-ordinary mania that day, strange phenomenon!!Yee Pin, I know what your feeling is...

After a thirteen days backpacking trip to Thailand, I feel totally exhausted and tired, in the mean time, I find this journey very enjoying and meaningful. I keep telling Edmond that we had a spiritual tour in Thailand because 80% of the time we actually visiting temple. Just like Malaysia, an Islamic country, you can see mosque everywhere, in Thailand, you can see temple everycorner everystreet. Apart from the "spirituality" of our trip, we were also impressed by their amazing architecture with artistic sculpture and crafting, which is so special that it enhances the natural landscape, produces a magnificent phenomenon with the surrounding nature. And that is why Thailand is so well-known for it's beauties and cultures, which also makes it a famous tourism hotspot. Although the political situation in Thailand remains volatile during the time we visit, there were still tourists everywhere, even outnumber the locals in some places. Furthermore, the warm hospitality offered by the citizens had brought us a lot of joy during our journey.

Another thing is in Thailand you hardly can find a waste-bin. And ironically, I hardly can find any rubbish on the street. It kept me wonder where the Thais throw their rubbish. Furthermore, Thai's food are really cheap, you can buy a nice fried rice within 30 baht, which is less than RM3, and for those shopaholic, Thailand is a perfect shopping paradise for you. You can find anything you want in a cheaper price compare to Malaysia, eg. leather products, silk, handcrafts...There are also a variety of public transport available in Thailand, eg. taxi, bus, tut-tut, song thaew and so on. And their taxis are Toyota Corolla, which are way more luxurious than Malaysian taxis and in reasonable price too.

It was a memorable experience for me and Thailand had offered me a lot of joy, happiness and enjoyment. And definitely, this will not be the last trip for me to Thailand.

After Ayutthaya, we headed to the north by train in a 14 hours journey (the longest journey I have ever had, high risk of DVT) to a city called Chiang Mai. It is a city surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the country. The central of Chiang Mai is known as old city which is surrounded by moat and defensive walled, although it is much destroyed by Burmese and only the main gates and corners of the wall are left today.
