Splish Splash

I love beaches. I love the clear blue water, the sound of the waves, the sand, everything lah..
But sungai? Never tried it before...until 3 weeks ago.
Rina, a dear friend of mine, planned for a picnic at Ulu Kenas..it's a place situated in Kuala Kangsar, supposedly a nice place to have picnics..and since I've never went for a picnic by the river, I jumped to that idea.
To cut the long story short, I did have fun with the girls, splashing and playing in the cold cold water as you can see in the pictures below...but I don't think I'm the type of person to go for a picnic and mandi sungai; at least not at Ulu Kenas...There were millions and millions of mosquitoes (and there I was, wearing short sleeves baby-tee and 3 quarter pants, imagine...), cats(don't get me started on those stupid cats), and worst of all, dirty filthy toilet. I am really really choosy when it comes to toilets..I can't do my business, let alone shower and change my clothes in a dirty public toilet. No, I'm not a spoil brat who needs gold plated toilet seat...I just need a decent, clean, and preferably smell-free toilet..that's all..
I ended up not changing my clothes and I wore it until we came back to Ipoh. My whole body was itchy by the time we arrived home..and there were rashes all over my thigh and back.
Maybe it's a good idea for me to just stick with beaches.

Bubba Yum Yum

We celebrated Jim's 23rd Birthday last Friday...it was a surprise birthday party planned by his girlfriend, Nadia...the theme was black and red..The service apartment they rented for the party was really really really pretty!!! The party was great...and what made it great was the fact that the house was literally infested with SLR...haha..flashes and clicks everywhere...my "petite" camera stayed in my bag and never came out...heck, why bother to use the normal digital camera when there's SLR everywhere? hehe...Here are some of the pics...

Holiday, where art thou?

Remember the 6 things I wanna do this year? (Click here if you don't). I've crossed out 2 of them! YAY!!! hehe..I'm still figuring out number 3, still working on the 4th, still planning for number 5, and desperately in need of number 6.
On a totally different note, my younger sister is flying off to USA to further her studies this July and my mom asked me and Adan to go along with my sister for a few days to make sure she settles in alright (yes, my sister is the anak emas, anak kesayangan), but unfortunately for me, at that time I will be having my minor postings (2 weeks per posting) so, it is impossible to skip any classes at all...*tsk tsk* There goes my chance for another holiday...
Damnit.

Trust issues

Over the years, I've learned (in a very hard way) that I need stick with those whom I know I can trust. That I don't have to make everybody happy, I don't have to have 1000 friends and I don't have to worry about what people will think and say about me. I've learned that only those who loves, who cares, who will be by your side any given day, and who will not back stab you are the ones worth keeping. I do befriends with everybody but nowadays, I tend to stick with my own "people". Life is less complicated that way.
However, sometimes, I tend to forget. I tend to trust people easily. Way too easily I might add. I forgot that people can just go behind you and stab you from the back. I forgot that I can't just be saying random things to friends because it might just come back and bite me in the arse.
I need to get that through my thick skull, into my brain and store it there forever.
Don't trust people easily, no matter how smart or how trustworthy that person may seem.
I've learned my lesson the hard way, yet again.

Books. Puke.

These are the books for ONE posting. Just one, peeps. Medicine. It is by far, the most challenging and it is not even funny. I do need all these books because there are certain topics which are not covered fully by certain books. But at the end of the day (i.e: end of posting exam), I will only open up the top most book (yes, the smallest among all) since it is the most comprehensive. *malas sebenarnya* =p
Just imagine the amount of books we have to read, the amount of things we need to memorize, the amount of facts we are forced to mug up...we have 10 postings this year (A&E, Ophtal, and ENT separately), those goddamn anatomy (to the smallest nuclei and foramina), physiology, histopathology, radiology, and owh, TREATMENT! And to think that we are going to sit for the exam all in one go? I am going cuckoo just thinking about it. Ke-ray-zeee I tell yah!
Maria! HELP!!!!
