I just got back from my much needed and much deserved holiday with my BGFF (Best Girl Friends Forever =p) and man, how I wish I don't have to go back to reality so soon. And how I wish my other BGFF could've joined us there. It was a gastronomic holiday first and beach holiday second. You wouldn't believe the amount of food we ate during our trip there! It was so much so that we've all gained 3kg at least! All those things I've heard about Penang and its food are true and exceeded my expectations. The cendol, kuey tiaw goreng, asam laksa, pasembur, rojak buah...damn, I'm salivating already just thinking about it...=D To Little Miss Confused, Little Miss Greedy, Little Indian Girl, Little Miss Nasty and Little Miss Kalut, I loveeeee you guys so much and I can't wait for our next annual holiday and gemukkan badan and tan kan diri!!!
...and I've crossed one more (No.6) in my "got-to-do-in-2008" list!!!!=) 1. Go to Paris and visit Adan. 2. Buy myself a new car. 3. Earn more money. Or, learn how to save money at least. 4. Understand central nervous system. I really suck at CNS...tolong!! 5. Go to Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand 6. Holiday with friends
It's my 3rd week in psychiatry posting and I have to admit I am just starting to enjoy myself. I did not like the posting at first because it is rather dry and boring compared to the other departments like surgery and medicine. But somehow, after 3 weeks of mixing around with a "different" type of patients, psychiatry has grew on me. The patients never failed to amuse me with their stories and antics everyday. Looking at them and listening to their stories has made me realize how lucky we all are. It also reminded me of how insignificant and primitive we all are as human being and how great God is. He has created the brain, the most sophisticated and magnificent machine and even after thousands and thousands of years, human still can't understand how it works. Subhanallah.
The next 3 weeks I will be posted in Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (commonly known as Tanjung Rambutan). =)
THE GIRLS : (Clockwise) EZLYN, SHAK, DIRA, ZANA, TASHA, SHIDA, ZAZA, FAIZA, FELISHIA, SAKINAH, DALIA, MELISSA, AND I
We celebrated Shida's 23rd birthday last night at Rakuzen, Hartamas and it was so much fun!!! The food was great and the company was awesome as usual...=) I love my girls very very much! hehe
Read what the birthday girl has got to say about it here =)
How adorable is this tiny little creature? Everything about her seems so small, so fragile, so pure, so beautiful. She is my sister's first child, my first niece, my parents' first grandchild, and my grandmother's TWENTIETH great grandchild. She is still being referred to as "The Baby" because her parents are so fickle that they can't settle and decide on her name...hehe..but I guess it is crucial to take your time and put the 'right' names for your kids because it is one of many other things that will stick all throughout their lives and hereafter. Anyway, Welcome to the world, Little Alien. =)
***Update: She finally has a name! Hehe..Introducing, Nur Adelynn Sofiya Bt. Mohd Afzal!! =)
It's not even funny, man...80cents more per liter?
We all know that the world is really running out of blood for us to suck out and burn. Petrol prices are hiking up everywhere in every part of the world. Is there anyone to blame? The U.S? Our government? Beats me, I dunno... What I saw tonight was amazing, and crazy..cars were queuing up to 2 kilometers away from the petrol station to get the tank filled by 12am tonight. I went out quite late, thinking that the traffic won't be as bad. I was wrong. At 10pm, the line was just starting to get longer..it was almost up to 3km..ok, I might have exaggerated a bit (given the fact that I am lousy with measurements) but basically, the queue was very long and it was so congested that I figured I should just forget it and go home. Didi told me it took her 2 hours to get to the freaking station. No way I would've waited that long. Come to think of it, with all the problems nowadays, maybe it is a good idea for us to start using bicycles and roller blades again. It will solve not only one, not two, but three of the world major problems. Cycling does not use fuel..so we can save money on that. Cycling is a form of exercise..if everyone starts to cycle everywhere, obesity won't be an issue. Cycling does not release any form of carbon monoxide to the air...which later will solve the ozone problems..
So, yes, it is a good idea to start pedaling peeps.
But then again, every morning I start off the day by saying "Malasnyeee"
Lan has this may-jah crush on Marie Digby (well, not as major as Missy Higgins) and so did I...Marie brings my inner lesbian instinct out of the closet..haha..owh c'mon, don't tell me that Japanese-Irish (Japirish?) girl does not make u feel like pinching her cheeks and the sight of her makes you go "Awwww..." Anywayyy, to beat the traffic, we went to OU at around 6pm (the showcase was supposed to start at 8pm), and since we were a bit tad too early, we decided to have dinner first with Tasha, Munir and Ajib at Sushi King. No need for me to tell you that good food+friends+jokes and laughs = lost track of time. Not until 7.45pm that we remembered we were there for Marie Digby. By the time we got to the place, it was packed (see picture above). All I could see was...other people's heads. Hudaa, Dira and I tried to find a spot where we can see Marie clearly...we went up and down but to no avail. Everybody got tired of trying to see what we can't see, so we all went to have drinks instead. I caught a glimpse of Marie from above and man, even from far, she looked gorgeous. Here I have a video of her thanking her fans in Malaysia and Singapore. Even Marie was overwhelmed by the amount of people that came to her show.
*** Last Saturday Hudaa had her 23rd birthday party. It was a themed party and everybody was asked to dress as "Famous Musicians". I was having trouble figuring out what to wear and who to be. Hudaa gave me the idea of going as Lisa "Left Eye" from TLC which was easy to pull off and me, being desperate for a "musician", agreed. The thing is, I knew exactly what I have to wear, but I've never imagine me wearing it, let alone try it on before the party. An hour before Dalia came to pick me up, I put on the cargo pants, the tank top, tied my hair in a crazy ponytail, and drew a thick black line below my eyes using liquid liner. I thought I was ready, until when I went to my parents room to see the full length mirror. I looked like a friggin' Jinjang!! *I AM half Chinese so I have the rights to say that without being racist..=p* I didn't know what to do so I panicked. Farah, my sister, such a doll that girl. She helped me out by giving me ideas and let me borrowed her clothes since all my clothes are in Ipoh. We tried on a loose white dress and a hat, trying to look like that crazy version of Britney, and well, I did look like her. But again, when I looked at the full length mirror, I changed my mind. I looked like an overdue pregnant lady...yes, I was that huge in that dress. Basically, the next hour saw me changing from one clothes to another...and finally, I got tired of all the thinking and changing clothes, I decided to put on a pair of leggings, a stripy oversized top and a belt, thinking that I'll be able to pull of as a fat version of Lindsay Lohan. Ha-ha. I did not go and see the full length mirror, scared shitless that I'll change my mind, but ugh, that was the biggest mistake of the night. I should've looked cause I looked awful. I did not look like the fat version of Lindsay, instead I looked like one of the Kardashians, no thanks to those junks in my trunk. I figured this out when we took photos and well, when I saw the picture, I stayed away from cameras after that...away, far far away. What was I thinking?! Should've just dress as Left Eye. The Chinese version, that is. Btw, everybody looked sooooooo pretty, and unlike me, they obviously have planned what to wear ahead of time. The birthday girl, Hudaa, looked so gorgeous and she imitated Christina Aguilera very very accurately. She even did the Candyman dance, ok!
This is the gorgeous Jihan and her boyfriend..and look at all the (fake) tatoos!! Amy Winehouse never looked this good before! And yes, that's George Michael sitting next to Amy. Hehe.
I've never been a huge fan of hockey. Never in my life have I thought of going to a hockey game. And never in my life have I thought I would appear in ESPN; but guess what? Those things really did happen. Haha.. =p I followed my friends last night to watch a hockey match. For those of you who aren't a hockey fan (I know I'm not alone here), I'm sure you're not aware that there's an International Men's Hockey Tournament (Azlan Shah Cup) currently going on here in Ipoh. It is an annual event, one not to be missed by many. This year there are 7 countries competing. It was my first time watching a live hockey match..I was reluctant to go and join my friends before because I knew that I will not be enjoying the game as I will have to rub shoulders with tons of Mat Rempit. Since I figured that this is my final year here and the stadium is just 5 minute away, I might as well go and give support to the Malaysian team. My prediction couldn't be more accurate. Yes, I was having fun watching and laughing with my friends...until a troop of Remps came and sat right in front of us. From the look of it, most of them seemed younger than us. They did what all rempits always do..which is, annoy people. They sat there, rooting for Argentina, instead of their own country Malaysia, screaming and shouting at how lame team Malaysia was, and worst of all...they lit up the cancer sticks...continuously. They blew the smoke right at our direction. Yana J, one of my friends there, had enough and she actually went up to them and told them off. One of the pakciks there backed her up and only one of the rempits actually moved. There rest, well, they didn't budge at all. I swear to God that I was on the verge of throwing my shoes at them. Pissing me off. Anywayyyyyyy, the thing about Didi, Ummu, Ayuni, Yana, and I making an appearance (haha..kononnya lahh..) on ESPN, well, that, I don't know. Raden was the one who told us and I, myself haven't seen it. I shall check if they have any repeats tomorrow since I'm going back to PJ tomorrow (no Astro here..huhu). Btw, Malaysia lost 5-0 to Argentina. And I have to admit...minus the stupid Remps, last night was fun..and yes, I would go again and root for team Malaysia. =)

I have been putting up with Proton for a few weeks now...and I am getting angrier and at the edge of yelling at someone in Proton. As I've mentioned here, my parents bought for me a new car (yes, I'm still living out of my parents' money...student, mah...) which was very very exciting at first. They bought me a Persona...kinda big since I will be driving alone most of the time here in Ipoh. Anyway, everything was great since it arrived from the factory, except for the radio...there has always been a problem with the radio..we had to send the car back to the factory twice to get it fixed...first they thought there was a problem with the radio itself...they took out the radio and sent it all the way to Penang just to found out that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. And then they asked us to send the car to the service centre because it was a wiring problem, not the radio itself...The whole wiring thing was fixed a week later...and it was ok for a few days, until one day, the radio went mute again, on a Sunday, thank u very much...of course the service centre was closed that day... I just left the radio on while I was driving the car even though there was absolutely no sound coming out from it and suddenly...Chris Brown's voice was blasting through the stereo...the radio miraculously fixed itself. And then I took the car back to Ipoh. For a good four days, there weren't any problems. At all. Until yesterday...the radio decided to go on a strike again. Silent. Stupid. It is Saturday today and the service centre only open for half day and I've arranged an appointment with them on Monday at 730am...and I have my clinical exam at 830am on the same day. I asked them if I can change the appointment at 1100am..but the lady said if that is so, then my car will only be fixed the next day...ughhh.. Seriously. Stop pissing me off, Proton. Can't they just fix the damn wiring properly? It is not like I've used the car for 10 years already..and I bet, even those 10 year old cars have no problems with their radios or whatsoever. I'd like to have music in my car, and blasting away the stereo. Peace and quiet in the car is not an option for me. Thanks, Proton.
**Picture above is not my car. Just a picture I took from the internet. =)
