How to save a life.
I’m getting a new best friend soon. actually i think she’ll be my new best best bestest friend. Marieb is my new best friend. Trust me. You’d really want her as your new best friend because she really is smart, and she’s not kiasu either because she’s really open to sharing all sorts of information, easy to get along, never talks back, easy to handle and on top of it all you’d learn alot of new things from her. see, i bet you are all jealous reading about my new best friend. well, there is only one problem, to get to know my best friend inside out which I really need want to do is i have got to read her, inside out… and thats the biggest issue between me and her, i don’t get her because i simply can’t remember what she’s trying to say, and i can’t ask her because she’ll never answer me :( and all i can do with her is read… and drag her around like carrying a three ton baby.. k laaah, she isn’t that heavy…
sigh
i’ve even came up with a whole new category for IMU… the IMU experience, because really, uni IMU life has so much to offer and so much to learn, you really really are expected to be a huge spoge to just soak soak soak it all up without asking any further questions. yeaahh.. forth week of the med course and i’m still trying to figure out what the hell am i doing when i can be counting figures and probably hosting a new TV programme. However, there are times when i get the feeling, the feeling where everything we are doing now, the shit loads amount of studying will be worth it because thats the whole idea of studying…to be able to become a better person, ain’t it. but why do they have to make it sooo harddd :(
because we’re dealing with people.
there, that tinyyy voice in my head spoke. see, even my head makes more sense. As i was sitting down during lecture today… there was just soo much this lecturer was saying, its like Dr. Chu’s lecture all over again.. word by word everything meant something.. and then you just sit there and absorb so much it amazes me by how much you can just get by listening. getting it is one thing, remembering and applying will be like a whole new different level. and everyday is like this. the same freaking amount of things to learn and remember and then apply. so what revision? it’s like a study-thon from now on…and what about our concentration span? sometimes your mind just wanders off and poof, there you go!!! you missed some name of the nerve which controls God knows what end of your body and you feel like stabbing someone with the pen you were holding.
funny. not.
i could here the mutterings of nearby friends during lecture on why, why, why are we sitting down and putting ourselves through it; let’s take the money and go for a holiday.
why.
heh. call it a higher calling or what not. we still have a freaking long way to go. pray we make it out alive and sane.
and they say Alvls is tough.
what the crap.
i just got a new grey’s anatomy quote from facebook (yeah im on facebook so add me) and it says :
In the dark there is fear, but there is also hope.
how apt.
i know i haven’t been updating *looks at blog and sighs* but i’ve been so busy with all kinds of emotions and feelings that it’s so hard to pen them all done. the IMU experience has been errr.. a whirlwind of emotions? HAHA but nevertheless one heck of a journey.. a begining i mean.. and met soo many new familiar faces.. its a nice feeling actually making it there u know wat i mean. will blog more on feelings another time. this is just to let the pics do the talking eh? HAHA *cough weiting cough*

i miss junhao :(
50 years of independence, have we truly reached ‘merdeka’?
First and foremost, Happy Merdeka eveyone! I’m sure everyone enjoyed the fireworks, the parade and the what nots of welcoming our country’s 50th birthday.
but seriously.
can we truly be proud to say our country has gone such a ‘long’ way since 1957? think deep down inside i personally can’t help but wonder, what am i truly proud of, of being a malaysian. needless to say the great food and festivities always comes to mind, not to mention the multicultural society which we live in everyday… and that definately gives us more holidays! since each race has its own major celebration… heh :)
on merdeka i decided to meet my friends at midvalley *coughs* i know bad call. i took the train *coughs* i know, again, bad call. but come on. transportation is one of the most important aspects of a progressing country! the train is always late. always. and if its early, once in a blue moon, it feels like the opening of presents on chirstmas. the train was packed. and i mean seriously packed. of all the times i’ve sat on the train i have never ever seen it this packed. i know its a public holiday, but with the ‘problems’ the train was having that day it made it so baaadd, that you couldn’t go near the door and people had no way of coming out. people were just pushing and pushing… isn’t there a ‘rule’ somewhere which says allow people to come out first rather than you going in first… for goodness sake, letting people out of the train doesn’t mean that the train is going to leave. The large number of people didn’t help either, i wondered if there was a limit to which the train can carry. Amidst the sweating, shoving, shoe-stepping, under the breath cursing, i wondered what would happen if there happened to be an emergency, heart attack? fits? fainting? hysteria?, Thank God for providing me a safe journey there and back. And this is just the train, what about our buses, the taxis? Are they truly top class, or just something we really avoid taking unless we have no other choices? Manalah budi bahasa kita? Where is punctuality? Public transport? i hate to say it but ew.
Yes. Undeniably our country is still young, we have so much more to learn, but we must not be big headed in thinking that we have come a long long way, truth is, in my eyes, we haven’t. there is still so so much we can improve, we need to improve. Transparency in our country? please. What happen to all the big cases invovling the big names, why no result, are they all going to be covered, to be another ‘case closed’, another tutup mata sahajala? Where is the equality, the Si Putera and Si Anak, tell me, why the difference? we all study history, so enlighten me, does this mean that different races contributed differently to our country’s progress?
sigh.
i honestly can’t say much for fear of being caught and thrown into jail. of course, we rather go after bloggers with big mouth rather than the countless of rapist, murderers, robbers and snatch theives free in the society. We’d rather get angry and pissed off at remarks which are made in another country than channel our anger and frustration into finding missing loved ones. We’d rather channel our money to fund government projects which cost a bit too much than they are suppose to but in the end, have leaks or go forgotten rather than channeling the money into proper causes for instance improve public transportation, educating the young, and eliminating bribery among officials and such.
Yes, we’ve grown so much. And i am happy to say that i am a Malaysian, this, i take, gives me a chance to see my own country as it is, the good and the ugly, and not what it seems to be on television or on National Discovery. i am proud that i’ve got friends from all races, and love their celebrations as much as i love my own. i’m proud to say that we will always have a place to go even if its 3am in the morning, thanks to 24hr mamak stalls. i’m proud of our countless number of shopping malls which provide never ending entertainment for our weekends and holidays. i’m proud of our still beautiful beaches and serene jungle settings minus the mosquitos and buggies.
seriously, don’t you think there is still so much we don’t know, so much we need to learn from others, and so much we need to change?
Happy 50th Malaysia.
*i have no intention of hurting anyone, so please i am very sorry if i did in anyway offend anyone *
