fam med

family medicine is drawing to an end...
this 10 week holiday has proven to be...

a holiday..

i still think it's quite a waste of time n money...
no doubt there're plenty of things to learn but coming at home at 12 or 1pm and having nothing much to do gets boring after a while..
it was fun initially i guess... but now my brain feels rather empty...
this week is OSCE... not really motivated to study...
dr.loh's not really helping things when he tells you that he doesn't fail anybody...

heh.. and next week we have absolutely nothing until MCQs on friday... hmm....
and then the 3 weeks of semester break b4 sem7...

feel flat

dun feel too good today...
things started of poorly enuff... the night b4 i was sleeping in my home sofa cos' my brother was sleeping in the bedroom (i was too tired to pull out the mattress)
so although i slept earlier (1130) i still felt tired when i woke up (730)... i think cos' the exhaustion from the previous day still hadn't cleared (kg angkat project)...
also... the night b4 i took albendazole (deworming med) cos' i was playing football barefoot in the kg (on the upside i scored a goal and helped create another :P... we lost 2-7 btw)
so well... felt crappy the whole morning...

well... now i'm home... (thanks to sautjun... it'd have felt worse if i had to take the ktm back)
still feel... flat... not reli happy, not reli unhappy... yeah... but its just for a while...

happy birthday

a bit late... but nonetheless...
yesterday was birthday for me (=
well... i'm not one for birthday celebrations... so i don't have any expectations...
but the two celebrations, one was the "surprise" at midnite 26th... the other dinner on 26th.. were cool (=... quite a lot of ppl turned up which was nice...
so to cut the long story short... here's a short list of tqs...
thanks to everyone who msgd (= although i may not hav all your numbers, but now i do...
thanks to everyone who turned up for either and both celebrations :)
thanks to all those overseas ppl who msgd, taggd or thru various methods let me know that they remembered... it felt great to have an "international" celebrating my birthday... :)
thanks to... mei who called :)
thanks to... feng ko who blogged :)
thanks to... mummy who msgd 1 WHOLE day earlier claiming eagerness.. (i think she forgot)
thanks to... the christina,ss,chinpei,kkwan who hosted the first "surprise"...
thanks to... yeangwee who put a lot of effort into the CAKE!!! (i know he enjoyed himself more there) check out http://www.fengyblogstoo.blogspot.com/ for pics of the cake...
thanks to... everyone who wished me in school... i still get a great kick out of being wished happy birthday even though its belated (ann was quite funny... she wished me once on 26th, again on 27th morning.. and 20 minutes later again... lol)
last but not least... thanks to... God (= who made the whole day special...

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psalm 139:14

i even have a video to go along with it...hahaha



what?! don't tell me you actually believed that happened in harry potter...lol

fengy

today is Feng Ko's birthday :)
yes...
i don't hav any pics of his recent b'day celeb cos' i don't hav a camera...
so a short summary of who feng ko is and what he's done should be in order...

Feng Ko is my housemate... in fact... he's my toilet-mate.. haha, we share the same toilet... cos' his room is next door...
we both have very loud speakers which we sometimes use to abuse our other housemate (hl) who has no speakers....
Feng Ko has recently picked up dotA... he hasn't started going to cybercafes yet (hopefully not :P) but he spends a reasonable amount of time at home playing it anyway...after having trained him, he plays reasonably well against AI and actually should start playing against humans more if he wants to excel now... but that's not important... lol...
his other achievements include being on the Dean's List from Phase I...
He's the resident studies pro in the house, so on matters involving studies i consult him regularly since i'm not so pro...
He's very popular with girls...lol... quite lah... undoubtedly due to his charming personality and dashing good looks, killer abs, pearl white skin and smooth as silk skin, and various other complimentary adjectives... haha... anyway...
for more info, check out his blog at http://fengyblogstoo.blogspot.com/

and while going thru the b'day pics checkout which girl feng ko currently has eyes for :P...
but bear in mind he's still single n available anyway...

tikitikitikitikitikitiktiktiki

heh.. learn a hokkien word a day...
TI KI... means stubborn in hokkien...
yeah...
how did i learn it?
well... my batch has a medical students yahoo group...
and recently there was a super hebat discussion that kinda went a bit out of control...
and it was about a minor point on whether to asucultate(hear) of palpate(feel) first...
anyway...
you know you're in a medical student's group when the discussion that draws the most posts is the one about MEDICINE rather than all the other "NORMAL" posts all put together....
and you know you're not really passionate about the "finer" points of medicine when all that i took away from that lengthy discussion was...

TI KI...
tikitikitikitikitikitikitikitiktiki
haha.. sounds really cute... like some animal...

tire-ing

heh... fam med can also be tiring!!!
the past few days... ok-la... 2 only... have been quite tiring...
today one of my groupmates looked at my eyes and mentioned that i have PANDA eyes~!!
haha... is that an achievement?

yesterday i went to help out at the music nite rehearsal (i got conned into it).. didn't really want to go... but while i was driving on the way there, it struck me that though i may not WANT to be there... wat i WANT is to keep my promise to help out... so the desire to honour my word is the motivation the be there, even though i don't have the basic desire to BE there at all...

anyway... fam med still being fam med... i AM quite free still... in spite of suddenly having a lot of things popping up...
such as CFCS, research, IMS... yeah, a bit of stuff... think i shud start reading a bit also...
but still... i'm free-er... so still "buzz-able"...

in this period of freeness... i've started asking myself questions regarding christianity... i think i'm rediscovering my religion... but i'm going thru a bit of a dry period spiritually...

getting tough to choose

i COOK (=

hehe... i cooked my first meal at home today!!!
i feel so pro today...
although a series of unfortunate events led to this weird occurence, it happened none the less...
i went to jiajia (local supermarket) and bought
1 packet of maggi mee containing 5 servings - RM 2.50
1 packet of Japanese Sawi (or sth like that, can't remember wat its called exactly)- RM 1.41
1 packet of Chicken Sausage- RM 1.99
Grand Total - RM 6.00

ooooo.... that's 6 bucks for about 3 meals or more...(can't expect to make 5 cos' the Maggi mee is really really small, so i put 2 into the pot...

sooo... the basic recipe was reli simple, dump everything into the pot in this order- boil water, maggi mee, soup powder, sausage, sawi.... stir and act as if you're really cooking something... and jeng jeng... you have... FOOD!!!
if you'd like to know... the japanese sawi, i bought 3 stalks... in today's meal i used 3 leafs from 1 stalk which has about 6-7 leaves...
the chicken sausage i used 2 out of about 10 sausages i think...
wahaha... so total cost of entire meal... INCLUDING water (couple of cents considering my water bill for a MONTH is 5 bucks), driving (one week 30 bucks, but this is only to jiajia, so at the most 50 cents? or a buck?), electricity? (i no gas, so can only use electric steamboat machine, one month about 60 odd bucks, but use for such a short while only... probably about 20 cents at the most) errr... labor costs? (i do myself :)
making this meal a grand total of less than 3 bucks...

i'm still full :)... if not i still got apple... and various junk foods....
i'm thinking of doing this 3 times a week... just enough to not be anti social yet save money :)
woohoo... talk about cheap...

gotta push

heh... this is posting is turning into 10 weeks of laziness...
gotta get up and do some studying or i'll really have an empty brain going into sem7...
hmm...
on the other hand... it IS a welcome break of sorts...
