~ well, its been awhile since I last blogged *looks at the date of my last post* god damn it... it was back in 2008! crap.. guess i really have neglected this blog for a long while... sorry blog, will try to update you once in awhile alright? *ang gu gu ang gu gu - sayang*
~ during the time when i was, erm, not updating my blog, lotsa things have happened (why does this sound so much like my previous blog =.='.. guess this shows that i have a tendency to neglect my blog... @.@! ). for instance, i passed EOS7!!! GOD DAMN IT!!! I BLOODY PASSED IT!!! its a bloody hard exam and i errr... blanked out during my clinical exams so it was a relieved that i actually passed the exam and actually scored distinction in one of the stations! YEAH! anyways, thats the past. coming up next in a few months time is EOS9... sigh, time really flies, it feels just like yesterday when i was just preparing for my finals... well, i hope that this time around, i will not have the same problems like last time and i promised that i will work doubly hard this time around! *makes mental note to not go DotA later... wait... i think i just promised them... not good to back out last minute right? right?...*
~ apart from passing my EOS7, i also conquered mount kinabalu! it might not be the tallest mountain in the world, but at least it is still within the top 3 in south east asia! HOHOHO! that itself is an acomplisment! <---- the fact that i know it is top 3! anyways, the view on the top is simply breathtaking! it is definately worth the climb of 10 hours in total! YESH!!! and since i am already at borneo, i also dropped by sarawak to do my selectives and took every oppurtunity to travel around this wonderful place of the cats. (hrm... come to think of if, i saw more dogs than cats in sarawak =.= wierd... so much for being called kuching...)
~ well, i really do hope that from now on, i will be able to update this blog on a regular basis. maybe not as frequent as those professional blogger, but definately not as rarely as i used to. wish me luck in keeping this resolution!

Hiatus
~ its been a long time since i last wrote anything on my blog, not even uploading pictures or songs or any interesting video clips for the matter... *looks back at the previous post* yup... it has been around 1 month plus plus since i last updated my blog. sorry guys! i know that there are people who still visits my blog coz i have people questioning me suspiciously for my lack of blogging... *looks angrily at plurk* its the plurk la!!! really... it just takes away all my urge to blog anymore =.= *stares at plurk... ping! someone commented!!! quickly opens my plurk window...* so much for being angry at it... ish ish... =.=
~ anyways, alot have happened during the 1 month hiatus. been through the whole obstetric posting and is now currently posted in the female psychiatric ward; rushing through various works and activities; went visiting to melaka yet again - but this time at least we had a tour guide of a laosu - doesn't seem to help much does it... its a rodent =.=...; a sudden visit from my dad and youngest bro (he is so freaking cute!!! *pinches bro's cheek*) and many other lil things here and there... all in all it has been a hectic and fun-filled month. so totally worth the 31 days it came with ;p
~ obstetric posting was awesome! it was surprisingly the most interesting posting i have been posted to! despite the packed schedule and hectic flow of events everyday for the week, it seems to perk an interest in me that none of the previous postings manage to... not even paedeatrics that i always wanted to specialise in... weird but welcoming nevertheless.
~ our daily ritual starts at around 6.45am, where we are suppose to be in our respective wards to cover it in time to follow the specialist ward rounds (most ot the time it is our lecturer) at around 7.30am. by default, we have around 6-7 patients each but if we are lucky the head count might reduce on the day of clerking due to the high turn over rate of obstetric wards.
[before i continue, i must explain that obstetric is a very special posting, because unlike any other postings where we are dealing with sickly patients plagued by different diseases, the mothers in wards 1a and 1b are all healthy individuals most of the time. and adding to that is the fact that at every one time, we are dealing with 2 lives instead of one and these just makes obstetric a very strict and no-nonsence postings where we take into account everyting and makes sure that not even one mistakes or problems are overlooked (of coz, we do uphold the same principles in other wards but in the obstetric wards, it is more than overly emphasised as any mortality or morbidity that occurs in these wards are greatly frowned upon... and is more disgraceful than anything we can ever think of as more disgraceful...=.= wtf, what am i talking about =.=).]
~anyways, after the long (it is LONG) specialist rounds, where inevitably we will all be used as target practice by our lecturers and by the end of the day suffer from a great loss in self esteem... we can either choose to go to the labour room to hunt down as many procedures to be done as possible or stay back in the wards to further clerk our patients if we have not finished by then. but most of the time, by the time the ward round is over, we would have to rush back to our campus to attend our almost daily seminars on various topics covered during this posting. (to be honest, your day will be made much worse if you had to cover the wards in the morning for one of our notorious lecturer and then present a seminar topic to our even worse nightmare later in the day T.T... gah... come to think of it, is obs really that fun T.T). lunch time is not something we can look forward to, coz by the time everything ended, and we finally set our foot in the chapati corner... there is usually NOTHING left!!! ok so maybe i exagerated... there are still some chunks of bones here and there, littered with tiny bits of veges and beans... =.= (no wonder i lost weight during this posting... i'm suppose to GAIN weight NOT lose them... T.T) anyways, right after our short lunch break, we have to rush of to another seminar again, which usually ends quite late... so if we happen to have our on-call duty that day, we would have to rush straight to the labour room after that... (but those who couldn't care less by the time the seminar is over would just go home and rest till dinner is over, then only will they make their grand entrance into the labour room... ok, fine... i was guilty of it too... on few occaissions... ish ish). if you think our day is over after our on-call ends at 11pm? nope... you are far from wrong... when we reach home, we have to get ready for our seminars the next day and read up on all the questions that our lecturers asked us earlier in the day... if we are lucky, we get to sleep by 1am... if not... sorry lo... you will now join the ranks of the world's endangered species of pandas!!!
~ all said and done, i still enjoyed obstetric posting alot. i really can't pin point the main reasons it is so appealing to me... is it the fact that we get to feel the miracle of life everyday when a baby is born? is it the smile on our face or the warmth in our heart whenever a baby is born safely? (omg, i can't tell you how much for once i was so very the much looking forward for the baby to cry!!! CRY baby CRY!!! T.T everytime the baby took sometime to cry... i will start to worry and i will feel a fear creeping up upon me... but im happy to say that i have yet to see any still births yet... amen!!! but i did witness a miscairrage... sob sob) or is it the tears of joy i see from the 1st time mothers after their baby was presented to them after the delivery? or the smile of relief from the dad who came in to accompany his wife right BEFORE he faints... (hihi)? or the proudness i feel in the mothers when i clerk them? or or could it be the time when i was doing the abdominal examination and i actually felt the baby kick!!! and i go OMG THE BABY KICKED!!! and smiling like a foolish idiot before realising that all my friends were laughing at me? hahahaha i don't know man... i really have no slightest idea why i like obstetric so much... but i just do @.@V
~ anyways, obstetric is now all in the past and i'm now in the psychiatric posting... hopefully everything will go well and hopefully i will like psychiatric posting too ;p but i sincerely think that nothing can ever beat obstetric ;p HIHI!!!
p/s: for once i had the urge to study!!! all because its the obstetric posting!!! hahaha i think i'm giving obs too much credit! hahaha but who cares ;p

Regrets
~ everyone have regrets somewhere along his life. one way or another, it is very hard to avoid doing things that you will come to regret in the future. even if you meticulously calculated and weigh every options you have, there are times when even after thinking so much you will still make mistakes... sometimes, these choices you made were deem correct and perfect at the time of decision making and will only manifest itself, over time, as the worse mistake you might have ever made. and these mistakes, are mistakes that you will come to regret the most.
~ i have always lived my life with one main principle, that is 'never to regret'. hence, i always try to do everything that i wanted and also try my very best never to miss any chance that will never reveal itself again. so that at the end of the day, even when things doesn't go my way i can tell myself that, hey, at least you tried. and up till now, i have yet to regret anything... or so i thought...
~ lately, it dawned to me that, looking back, i do have some regrets in my life. no matter how fully i had tried to live it, i am still human, and humans can never run from having feelings of regret. we can never be satisfied... regrets, no matter how hard you try to deny its existence, will still lurk around softly in the background, waiting for the day when you are brave enough to accept it. and lately, i think i have found some of my regrets in life.
~ one of my main regrets, that i would like to talk about, is the fact that i can't read or write chinese... although i can speak the language, quite fluetly i must say, but i can't pen it... yeah, you heard it. even bananas hate being bananas...
~ i really don't see what pride i can have being a banana... (for those who do not know what the term banana is, it means chinese who do not know their mother tongue... yellow (chinese) on the outside, white (western/speaks english) on the inside) don't get me wrong, i have banana friends who are proud of they english speaking ability - that accent that they are so very proud of - and live their life by ridiculing those chinese-educated chinese of their lack of fluency in english... o.O' seriously, sometimes i wonder if they did it to hide their own low self esteem and anger for not being able to write and converse in chinese...
~i don't really mourn over the fact that i don't know how to read or write chinese all the time but there are occaisional pangs of regrets when chinese language is involved in my daily activities. like for instance, the newspaper. there are more bananas than real dragon-blooded chinese in my university and everytime, during break, when we rush to the newspaper stand in our library to get our hands on the daily news, i can't help but notice that there will always be this one chinese language newspaper left on the stand while the other papers in english and malay were no where to be seen. it is during this kinda time that i would just feel like kicking myself in the ass for not being able to read chinese... then, i will not have to wait for the next 3o mins for the current reader to finish reading his english newspaper... grrr... then there are the subtitles for japanese movies or movies NOT in english language... most of the time, there will always be a chinese subbed version available while the english subbed ones are not out yet!!! so much for international language... heh... or the times when our non-chinese friends kindly ask us bananas to translate the chinese characters written on their clothings or books... yea, try telling them with no shame that you know not the characters written there... eff...
~ and most of all, it just sucks when you go to the karaoke with your friends and you favourite chinese songs were played and you CANNOT sing them because you do NOT know how to read CHINESE!!! EFF!!! EFF EFF EFF!!! damn, being a banana sucks big time man... sigh... if only i can go back in time and kick the 7 year-old me in the past in his ass and tell him, "look boy, if you squirm again at the next sight of chinese characters and refuse to learn them, you gonna suffer in 17 years time... so do me a favor and learn those funny looking stick characters called CHINESE and save me the suffering in the future..." *kicks the 7 year-old me in the ass*
p/s: one day, i hope i will muster enough courage to learn to read and write this language which i am supposed to know...

Been A Very Long Time
~ it has been a very very very long time since i last blogged. i apologize for my lack of posts... i believe that the main reason this has happened is because of the new micro-blogging+chat+twitter widget, which i happened to stumble upon one fine day. and this new micro-blogging+chat+twitter widget, or as they would call it, PLURK is now officially one of my most frequented site!!!
~ the creator of PLURK promoted their brainchild as a social journal, and i wouldn't agree more. PLURK allows you to post your updates (we call this action 'plurking') through their website or through our mobile phone. you can plurk on almost anything, ranging from a simple statement on you current feelings "i am emoing now" to thoughts and opinions "i think PLURK is cool!". you can even seek advices and opinions on things that you are unable to make decisions about "what do you think is the best colour for a t-shirt". in short, its just like blogging!!! (thats why i kept on 'blogging'/plurking at PLURK for the past month!) =.=
~ whatever we plurked will either be displayed on our Plurk page (or in the plurkersphere, its called TIMELINE).
the nice thing about PLURK is that you get to add friends and fans to your 'community'. these are people who gets to view your feeds as you post them and the better thing about PLURK is that these people can actually comment on your plurks! which, i mus say, made it extremely interactive!
pluks and the comments

pluks and the comments~ in the end, i think i like purking alot because it allows me to know what my friend are up to around the world and at my own free time too. the timeline actually gives it a diary kinda feeling and although i am not a diary person, it still made it feel kinda personal and homey... and the fact that you can post private post to selected people and you can choose who gets auto updates on your post at their timeline makes me give PLURK a thumb up on privacy. anyways, if anyone of you wish to join plurk, please press here : PLURK . hihi, so that i can get more karma!!! THANKS!!!
p/s: i will try to post more from today onwards... haih... plurk ah plurk... so addictive nia...
