I have 4 more months of case history notes to go before I wrap it ALLLL up~!
Well, not exactly, we still have to go through the empty slots where some IC Numbers weren't filled in and clarify some stuff.
But I'm almost done, almost done. Haha.
I was reading in TIME the other day about some dude admitting to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the reknown child beauty queen who was gruesomely murdered about 10 years ago. The details still horrify me, what with being strangled with a cord and her skull smashed. And at the same time, it makes me wonder how someone like Karr could be so obsessed with the girl to the point of admitting that he was with her when she died and that he loved her. Eurrgghhh....paedophile??
Also read about this other girl in Poland being abducted and kept hidden from her family in some hidden, underground place for 8 years. EIGHT YEARS! Can you imagine? She was 10 when she was kidnapped and when she escaped recently....18. Gosh. Her abductor killed himself hours after she escpaed by throwing himself on train tracks. Must have been one other obsessed, deluded dude =P
On a side note, Yeay to Daphne aka Munchkin for making our day when she called me a few days ago to say that she'll be my scriptwriter! Woots! Heheh :) I have faith in you, Munchkin. You're the best. You're really really good....and I'm so glad you'll give it a shot. Without you, we would have been very nearly screwed.
My Best Fried has left for KL again. It was good to catch up the other day in your room playing with Stitch and the Reindeer headband. Hahahah. See you soon! Luna Bar!!
Haven't been up to anything interesting lately. But my life is definitely going to be brightened up tomorrow. Hehe.....
~* RoLLLLL out the red carpet, baby, because The Malakuns are taking Kch by stormm!!!! :) And Kim of course. Hehehe. Can't wait can't wait can't wait!!! ^^

Fatigue is starting to kick in. Or not. I don't really know what's wrong with myself. I just feel so....out of breath these days. Like literally. Hrmms....
Saw Cherie Voon and the rest briefly on Monday night, but I was so lethargic that I barely spoke, and that got me a good amount of scolding from my Best Fried. Haha. As well as a constant reminder that 'The Days are Ticking!'
I've discovered a new favourite in the song '127 Days' by Kang Ta and Vanness Wu. Don't get me wrong, I LOATHE Vanness, but I think the song is quite nice. And a tad addictive. Hehe.
I suspect that this post is gonna be about alot of random, random things. Possibly like what is going through my mind right now. Hahaha.
Haven't been doing much except work, work and more work. Although that seems to have relaxed my Ahmad-ing responsibilities slightly. I no longer have to bring my brother to school or pick him up, simply because I'm stuck in the hospital most of the time. Tee Hee :)
I have a pair of new, geeky, black, plastic-framed glasses. Hahaha :)
And I just remembered I have a luncheon to go to in an hour. Argh.
Oh the randomness....hahaha.
- Peace Out - ^^

Audrey Soo turns 19 today! Hehe :)
Happy Birthday, Audrey dreyyyyy!~~ ^^ (birthday tune in my tone deaf voice)
May your year be filled with happiness and nothing but that. And may God bless you and guide you through your path in life :)
Thank you for all you've done for me. It takes the slightest gestures to make one realise what a true friend really is *hugs*

Of work, work and more work :)
Heys all~
So I skived work today. Erps. Lol. Well, I figured that everyone deserves at least one off-day right? So since I was out till really late last night, I decided I would make today my off-day and put in more hours tomorrow. The great thing about this job is that I get totally flexible hours, and as long as I am progressing at a fairly okay pace, I'm not required to stay in the hospital from 8 am - 5 pm every single day.
Work is tedious, but interesting in alot of senses. I don't do any practical work at all, nor do I actually do hands-on research about new advances, randomised controlled double blind trials of new drugs or so on. Haha. All I do is help them type and analyse the data they have had in the CCU (Cardiac Care Unit) into an Excel spreadsheet so that the correlation between age, gender, race, time of admission and different heart diseases can be investigated. So basically, we code the data and I type them all up....which actually amounts to alot, because there are 6 years worth of data to be analysed (2001-2006), and so far, I am only on Jan 2003.
I know this might sound like an utterly boring and meaningless task, haha, which was what I thought at first when Dr A told me I was supposed to help them key in data so that it can be presented later on as a research study. But it's amazing how little I know about the pathology of the heart, or rather, how many different types of heart diseases there are, and that they can be classified into certain more general categories! And because in the beginning I was a little blur about Dr A's amazing ability to abbreviate (STEMI, NSTEMI, PCI, IHD, ACS) Hahaha, I spend most post-work time on the net looking up stuff I don't know and reading up on diseases so that I have a clearer picture of what is going on with each case history.
And as Dr A enthusiastically told me two days ago: "Wow! You're getting really good huh?" Hahah, it felt really good. Not just because I happen to like Dr A ALOT. He's the friendliest, coolest consultant I have ever met in a very long time. Plus, with 12 years of experience in Bristol, I'm sure he really knows his stuff, and yet his public relations skills are amazing. I learnt alot from him, although when I reiterated the very basic knowledge I had read up on Cardiomyopathies, Atrial fibrillations, heart blocks, Ischaemic heart diseases and so on, he took it a tad too far and it reminded me vaguely of vivas. Hehe. Which was good all the same, because I ended up learning even more.
So, Manda, here's all that I promised I'd tell about my research attachment. Hehe. Turns out it wasn't really the kind of research you and I had in mind. Oops. Looks like SGH isn't still as 'canggih' as we expect them to be, eh? Nvm, nvm....maybe in the future :) hehe....
On a lighter note, last night was madness. Absolute madness. Dinner at some hyped up newly-opened Italian restaurant with the crew plus a few outsiders...Lol. Basically, Jane, Yun and I could have had our own private girls party, we were so out-of-sync with the guys' DOTA madness and annoying talk. And when Yun left, Jane and I had to endure it further. Post-dinner plans saw us standing around in circles again and Lai being so embarrassed that he pretended not to know us before proceeding to SoHo. Which was where the madness began. Shall not delve further. I will scare people off and nobody will want to hang with the Lodgians of Class 2003 again. Oh, plus Sam. Haha. How could I forget Jane's new sidekick.
Got a call frm KM at Jo's house at about 12-ish am. Was pretty surprised, but not as much as when he first called me a week ago. Spoke to him for a really long time, though I was straining to hear some of the things he was saying due to the havoc the ppl were causing nearby and due to my lousy pink phone's reception -_- I don't really know what to say about it. I hope I managed to talk some sense into him, though I doubt it, and well, there's really nth that I can say.
All I can say is I hope God will guide him through a brighter path in the future. I was a little off when he first called me, and I suppose I sounded a little too upbeat for his solemness, but he managed to bring my tempo down a little after the hour or so convo. Which was good.
~* To the one mad-laughter-inducing, bursting-into-song in public, chinese-phrases-loving chio bu I will love best in this world. Hehe. You are and will always be my bestie. I was watching Greys a few days ago on lunch break, and I realised what Meredith Grey can be defined as. She doesn't want to let go. Everyone doesn't want to let go. We want to cling on to the past of security and good memories and believe we can build a world where everything goes our way. But life sucks in that way. Not everything goes our way. But it is the bravest who forgets and moves on.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye....trouble strikes in London yet AGAIN.
Seriously! How annoying can these people get =P
And what is it this time? Liquid explosives...oh WOW =P So what now? Do they think banning people from carrying contact lens solution on board is going to solve future terrorist attacks? And since when did glasses/sunglasses cases become potentially lethal? To add to that, I was told that books aren't even allowed on board.
Madness....I foresee an EVEN longer queue at Heathrow airport this time. Argh.
Okay, I shall not go on...if I do, I will never stop -_-
Last Thursday saw Lai 'throwing a party' as I asked of him...hehe....I completely forgot about my Hip Hop dance session that night! Whoopsies! Lol. But it was pretty fun all the same...despite dinner just comprising of 4 of us. Leslie, who has MIA-ed for long enough....and Yun, back from KL, whom I have not had the chance to see yet.
So after Thai (I am increasingly proud of myself. Lol. Even Lai said so), which I contributed a large amount of my appetite towards, we sat around thinking of what we should do next.
Didn't take long to decide this time though (hehe), we decided to head to the cinema to watch 'Click'. Jane decided she couldn't come along because of her curfew, so the 5 of us (Lai, Hung, Leslie, Yun and I) went to Star to watch the much talked about Adam Sandler show. It wasn't THAT funny but I prefer it that way, really....and towards the end, I came to think that it was even sadder than 'A Moment to Remember', a certain Korean show that received quite a tear fest by a certain someone. LoL!
Next up on the movie list: The Lake House. Lai says it's senseless, but the storyline is the same as Il Mare, my favourite Korean actress Jeon Ji Hyun's first movie, and knowing KEANU (Lol, Cherie), it is sure to be sappy in many ways.
Next up on the activity list: Have a proper, bigger Class of 2003 gathering. Paul is back, and I need to pay Jane back the money Leslie owes her. Hehe.
And finally, here's the new catch phrase that could rival my favourite quote of Meredith Grey's:
- Will you still love me in the morning?
- Forever and ever babe....

Hip-Hop is da way to go! :)
Hey all~
Cheers to my sudden newfound consistency in blogging. Hehe. How long will it last, I wonder~ ;)
Last night's Hip-Hop dance session was eventful. Lol. And full of crap as well, count it on my instructor to add such guffaws into a dance lesson. But yeaps, it was pretty cooL. At least now I know that my loss of gym sessions are somewhat compensated. And it does help that I happen to LIKE R&B very very much ^^
There's a typhoon hurtling through HongKong and the southern provinces of China at the moment! :O
Am somewhat glad that I decided to cancel the initially-planned shopping trip to HK this summer. I mean, I know Typhoon Prapiroon can't be THAT bad, I know my HK friends are still alive and kicking, hehe....but still....with a death toll of 18 and an alleged evacuation of 530 000 residents, I just don't wanna risk it =X Imagine being stranded in HK!
Interestingly enough, Prapiroon means 'God of Rain'...in THAI! Hehe. Wonder how Heffabao is doing carrying water. Hehe :)
On another interesting note, Scientists have created digital paintings that can change to suit a viewer's mood. Lol.
Apparently there's this webcam situated on the painting which will detect any change in the viewer's expression, and the digital painting will change to suit the viewer's mood, i.e. more agressive brush strokes for foul moods?
And I thought to myself, how 'wu liao' can these scientists get? What's the point of creating a painting like that? Hahaha. Since when was there such a thing as 'digital painting' anyways?
Tsk tsk, *shakes head*
Hehe okay we shouldn't diss them *snigger*
After all, they are the ones who created things like 'anti-obesity vaccines'. Like whoa....okay, I know this isn't very funny.....some obeses ppl are suffering from all sorts of problems that plague their lives and all, but I wish they could give me some of that!
So people, the hormone that stimulates hunger & weight gain is Ghrelin. Come up with a safe antibody that blocks ghrelin FOR SURE (the one they came up with is still KIV apparently), and you will really rock everyone's world. Hehe.
It's so unfair how some ppl can just lose 9 kg in one go but not me -_-
~* A bestie will always be a bestie :) It was nice to catch up (fairly) again. Sorry for the crappy internet connection. Rmb, iLj! Hehe

Watching snippets of 'The Devil Wears Prada' on MTV today made me suddenly miss all those seasons of 'Sex & The City'.
Not so much of the scandals that all the girls seemed to be endlessly involved in, but more of the flashy attire and the way they seemed to own the entire NY fashion scene in their wardrobes. Lol.
And then I went on BBC News and read this:
"Women are paying the price for fashion in the form of broken bones and sprained ankles, a doctor has warned."
Rupert Evans, an accident and emergency doctor at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff said injuries could lead to long-term problems.
Women should stick to shoes with heels less than 4cm (1.5in) if they wanted to avoid a trip to hospital, he advised.
Hahahaha. LOL. The things girls do for FASHION.
I still want to watch 'The Devil Wears Prada', though.
I remember one episode of The O.C. when Summer Roberts was asked to name the person who has inspired her most in this lifetime and she gave the answer 'Miuccia Prada'.
Talk about bimbotique. Haha. And the Quiz I took said that I was most like Summer -_-
The headache has been persisting for 48 hours, or more. Had to turn down Hung's invitation to go and watch 'I dunno what' movie...because I promised myself this hols won't be filled with anymore 'Standing-around-in-circles', but mainly because my head felt like this:

PS: Here's an early birthday shout-out to Angelina Lim Chia Chia who turns the Big 2-0 on the 3rd of August 2006. Hehe. Again, not like you're ever gonna read this but ah well...heh. It's the thought that counts!
And also, the Liangster turns the BIG TUHWENTY-ONE on the 4th of August. Happy Birthday, Dude! August rocks, ey? Hehe. Stupid person been MIA-ing for so long, I don't even rmb what I wrote in my past e-mails anymore when you reply them. Hahaha.

Here's to my favourite 19-yr-old in the whole of Malaysia...hehe...
Happy 19th Birthday, Kimberly!
Thank you for being one of the greatest friends I've ever had....and I'm thankful for the fact that WE (you, me, Hanna) have remained close despite some of us TG-ers drifting apart *muacks* Love ya lots, babes. Hehe it feels weird not to be celebrating your bday w you this year but ahh....oh wells....hope I'll see you in KL some time or another.
Hope you're having a blast working in CIMB w Julian and the rest of the LSE ppl. And hrmms....not like you're ever gonna read this, but it's the thought that counts. Hehe.
It was a very eventful and productive weekend. I had doubts about the seminar in the beginning but it turned out to be fairly rewarding, especially the second day. And I was glad to learn so much about headaches....more than I have ever had in my entire life. I know, I know....it's ironic that I'm the Queen of Headaches, yet I have never actually gone round to researching the annoying pain that plagues me ever so often. Heh. Although the only downside (or is it? Lol) was the fact that my cousin's girlfriend appeared to be utterly frightened of me, my other cousin and a friend. Oopsie! Hee :) Were we THAT intimidating?
I also, very surprisingly, bumped into EJ. Remember, Lodgians?? Our uber cool Bio teacher who taught us for....I dunno how long also....in place of Cikgu Anita? Hahahah. He was really nice, although he couldn't register my name and I couldn't register his when I first met him. Hahaha. I think he was a bit daunted by the sudden presence of so many Lodgians suddenly. Me and my cousin both. Lol. Remember the good old days, Cherie? The fluorescent green & yellow tie we gave him and all?
Bao and Audrey left to PKK today. Haha. Hope you guys have fun, carrying water and acting in Thai, mainly. Also, remember not to be too bright a lightbulb ;)
Happy 19th Birthday, Kimberly!

Hope you're having a blast working in CIMB w Julian and the rest of the LSE ppl. And hrmms....not like you're ever gonna read this, but it's the thought that counts. Hehe.
It was a very eventful and productive weekend. I had doubts about the seminar in the beginning but it turned out to be fairly rewarding, especially the second day. And I was glad to learn so much about headaches....more than I have ever had in my entire life. I know, I know....it's ironic that I'm the Queen of Headaches, yet I have never actually gone round to researching the annoying pain that plagues me ever so often. Heh. Although the only downside (or is it? Lol) was the fact that my cousin's girlfriend appeared to be utterly frightened of me, my other cousin and a friend. Oopsie! Hee :) Were we THAT intimidating?
I also, very surprisingly, bumped into EJ. Remember, Lodgians?? Our uber cool Bio teacher who taught us for....I dunno how long also....in place of Cikgu Anita? Hahahah. He was really nice, although he couldn't register my name and I couldn't register his when I first met him. Hahaha. I think he was a bit daunted by the sudden presence of so many Lodgians suddenly. Me and my cousin both. Lol. Remember the good old days, Cherie? The fluorescent green & yellow tie we gave him and all?
Bao and Audrey left to PKK today. Haha. Hope you guys have fun, carrying water and acting in Thai, mainly. Also, remember not to be too bright a lightbulb ;)

Oh My Gosh....
I totally CANNOT believe it.
The Sarawak Club.....nothing but a pile of ash and blackened wood....completely ruined.
I was adamant that the damage couldn't be THAT bad until I made myself drive past it today to check out how badly burnt down it was.
It'll take ages to get it all up and running again. Goodness....and to think that I've been a member since I was 5. Or rather, that I'd just pulled into the driveway a mere few days ago =O
So Gymming and Swimming plans are at a HALT for now *suLLkkkkk*
Kch will definitely not be the same without the Club. Hope they find the cause (or rather, the arsonist....I'm betting it had to be arson) real soon.
*siGhhh*

Resurrection
Hey all~
Here's to the resurrection of a long dead blog? Hehe....nahh not really. More like a completely revamped blog, stripped clean of all its emo, sappy past. I've decided that my past rants were far too shallow and self-absorbed for their own good, so here's to a fresh new 'flavour'. Lol. Well, hopefully, that is....Haha...I've nvr known myself to be much of a 'current affairs' or 'information overload' kind of blogger. However, I shall persevere :)
Kch has never felt more like home. And I'm drinking in every bit of this summer holidays. Who knows how many summer holidays I'll have to come in the future. And of those, how many I could actually spend in Kch. No matter how much we complain about Kch's lack of social hangouts, especially at the end of the year....no matter how much we loathe our 'standing around in circles' deciding where to go after a movie, no matter how often we visit Bing! to the extent that we can memorise the menu (okay, exaggeration....I can't! lol), it all boils down to one thing. Kch is still home. And home rawks :) I'm sure my fellow Lodgians/Kch-ians will attest to that.
And I swear my driving has gotten better this holiday *HUGE GRIN* Well, still gotta work on the parallel parking a bit, but I actually managed to parallel park last night outside the trendy new place called 'Tao' at which I met Dina, Jane & Thai Ying. Amidst Jane's disgust at the weird-tasting ice-blended green tea and Di's sudden obsession with the name Richard, catch-up session was eventful :) And it is at these sessions that I realise how greatly I miss ppl like Manda, Voon, Cherie L, Yun...etc etc....and the carefree days of High Sch. Haha. It's allright...December will come... (*HINT: if you guys don't come back I'm going to skewer you!)

Hauntingly meaningful. It's amazing how one can connect words with life and make them so...realisitc. So real. Painful in some ways, but so true in others. I remember once putting this quote on my MSN nick and Matthew said it intrigued him because he found it strangely well-connected.
Life is a series of pulls back and forth...a tension of opposites, like the pull on a rubber band, and most of us live somewhere in the middle.
You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do another.
Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't.
You take certain things for granted, even when you know you shouldn't take things for granted.
Nothing like curling up with a good novel on your bed with the much-needed air conditioning at full blast nearby. Hehe ^^
In the midst of browsing through news on the net, I was appalled by the news that Juve were being demoted to Serie B next season with a 30 point deduction. I can't imagine what will happen to them! World class stars like Vieira, Trezeguet and Buffon...Serie B! And even Milan with that 15 point deduction and the ban from European football. Gosh! Milan...they were finalists against Liverpool in the Champions League in 2005 (which Liverpool WON...muahaha). I know I might be abit outdated, as this doesn't seem to be very current news, but ah well....shocked all the same.
This is a little random....but remember the movie 'Fifty First Dates'? If I recall correctly, the girl had short term memory or something. Like, she might know this person one day and completely forget him/her the next. I always thought it was pretty stupid until I read this article about a lady who suffers from 'face blindness' or prosopagnosia, and had to be reminded of her family / friends every single day by means of her 'book of memories' or verbal reminder. More shockingly, it is the result of a virus that infected her a few years ago. To think of the extent that a VIRUS can do to destroy someone's life that way :S
Makes me think again and again how fragile life is and how important it is to live it to the fullest.
Was reading a sappy novel a few days ago and I came across something which I found incredibly true.
"Nothing matters anymore now that I know I can never have what I want the most"
To which the reply was:
"It is still too early in life to use the word 'THE MOST'"
:)
On a completely random note, I'm REALLY looking fwd to starting my job as a research assistant!
Happy Holidays, people~
