Passionate Beau’s Rants & Raves….

This post could be ignored…

Finally I’ve got my deserving break. I’ve broken my record by staying straight in Semeling for a month due to the assessments. A MontH man, with all the undue stress & not so pleasant food, I consider it an achievement. The fact that I was really tempted cz my roommate does goes home every single week to Ipoh. How convenient it is to hop in with her. I guess self restraint does kicks in. Yeah, being back at home does have its soothing effects. Can’t remember when’s the last time I walked my dog, swim, hiked, jogged, cooked, baked, and shopped. That’s apart from work and friends of course.Did it all this time around. Had never managed to achieve those things without the guilt of exams next week phobia with my previous breaks.

The slow pace back home is bliss.

And I’m enjoying moping around at night when I’m around home. Not to mention, I’ve still haven’t completed my ‘to-eat’ list. My waistline is a goner.

Lengz = sloth

That works out fine for me.

No rewards for guessing…

Well, that’s my saliva…yup, all bubbly and foamy .Erm, I guess da “eww..gross…” will keep on rolling.

It’s a practical for oral physiology conducted by a visiting lecturer from Newcastle.Guess many skipped this practical because of its grossness. And the guy beside me actually managed to have da plastic cup fully filled in 5 minutes with stimulated saliva. Yeap, don’t ask how he did it.

That Englishman lecturer of mine is a pretty interesting chap too. I guess he did found another function of human saliva with much improvising done. It goes as such, occasionally he found OHPs more convenient than LCD projectors. There’s this one lecture, his transparency flew and he wrote directly on the OHP’s screen. Realizing his mistake he exclaimed out loud and said “Well, the best way to clean OHP’s stain is with…..” then, he spat at his hanky twice and rub it in  “…..Saliva….”

Of course da class found it gross. But miraculously it did work.

Well, I guess he’s da first Englishman that I’ve seen cud blush so much too. During his last tutorial with us he gave us his best of luck farewell speech saying he won’t be seeing us n will only be marking our pprs back hm. A witty gal fren of mine sed, “I’ll give u my number!” and there his face went tomato red in his sixties. (She actually meant her Matrix number, obvious reasons its for marks *wink*).

An indian guy fren of mine shouted "I’ll give ya mine too!!" . A bit taken aback, he shrugged him off sweeping a big no no with his palm…"Yeash, i don’t want your number…"

Strange how different people meant by saying ‘I’ll give u my number’.

Want mine peeps?

Well, there’s this two teams of dental students at War during the last day of lectures before the start of Christmas n New Year hols.

Her hand painted green.

Our ammunition

With sixteen of us, we split each other to eight in a group. And we tried to out-terror each other by sending four members to represent our group each time. There are two rounds of challenge, first round: claim flag and place in enemy’s base…second round: claim flag and place it back in own base.

This is before we begin.

With the sound of whistles, the battle had begun. With adrenaline pumping we ran, dodge, aim, shoot, and battle with our wits.

And we ended up with proud markings.

Well, yup…Its paint ball! I wasn’t even aware there’s paint ball in SP before this. Because a dear course mate is leaving for MelborneUni Aussie there’s been this reason to try paint ball out. (Will miss ya lots, Shu fen). And damn, its cheap here compared to the one in Bukit Jalil.(Well of course the quality needed to be compromised. It’s outdoors and the settings are probably less shophisticated. But then again..25 bucks?? U gotta be kidding me. Broke as hell also we’ll be playing)

For a beginner, I’ve manage to paint 3 ppl green with lotsa pellets of course, lost count as I kept firing for 2 rounds. However, still died in the end. Yup, for both rounds.Hopeless.

Its so funny that there’s undeads walking around too (referring to those already shot but puzzlingly still stood and ran around).In the end my group lost although the group leader’s round was a victory.

Had no idea that trying to gun down ppl could be this enthralling. *Sensing thoughts* Now don’t even think I’m a sadist here……

Spend my new year eve night amongst 18°C mist and a huge crowd of people anticipating fireworks. I was waiting in the cold outside Genting Hotel’s car park not knowing its worth all the trouble to get up there a not.

Because of the overbooked condition up in highlands, we’ve shifted down to Awana after a night in Theme Park. Damn, was thinking I’ll miss the countdown up there. Then I’ve insisted in going up with my bro and we’ve took the cable car at 10 sumtg at night. My parents follow suit ltr with my aunt. Thinking it’s an all dark affair, it turned out to be an interesting one. It’s like being pulled up towards bright lights among midst. Then we watch some interesting lame performance in First world before deciding to follow the flock out to the car park.

Dozens n dozens of ppl were moving. Its da first time I’m beginning to worry about stampede.U’ll just hv to move along with da crowd.

Whoa, n the fireworks were spectacular. I’ve got first class seats (at a car park? Lol). Imagine the firewoks were just 10 m above yea…Dazzling. Da sky just explodes above yea. (Was darn pissed at myself for forgetting to borrow a cam. The family’s one was taken by my other bro to edinburgh’s tournament. Anyone thinking of getting me one? *hint hint* ..Daaad….*grin*)

The fireworks lasted around 15 mins according to pprs today.

Well, it ain’t a bad way to a celeb a spanking new year. Hope everyone have a smashing year ahead !!!!

Am back home after a two continuous hectic week without much sleep juggling between project, lectures,tests n traveling. Well, i guess the most draining part should be the dentistry group project about oral health care which was submitted last Tues finally… (phew, big sweat drained from forehead)

There’s one point i was wondering whether it’ll be completed before dateline and the end product of the poster really made my group proud….

The nights spend on it was at least fruitful.There were trips made down to Penang for surveying purposes (Er..probably deviated a bit to sow tow lane n trip to bakery to ‘bungkus’ siew pau?…lol)

Anyway,will be blogging more often in friendster as it’s freaking awful to load blogger in AIMST. Their sucky connection could really put u in a state of helplessness n totally void u off blogging.(even surfing at times)

Had a merry lil christmas yesterday in hmtown. Met up ppl i havent seen for a long time. And i get to sloth around till Fri …*kiss floor*.

Yesterday, when I was sitting in EGAP (English For General Academic Purposes) class these thoughts race through my mind as I was staring at the lecturer who’s mumbling for the hearing distance of the guy in the first row….

Why am I stuck listening to a murmur of a soft spoken self proclaimed ‘devil’s daughter’ lecturer?

Why is my cough n flu still dragged on till now?

Why did zits n pimples popping like volcanos on my forehead?

Why I’m so bloody stressed lately?

And it leads to this…..

Why would people fake other people’s idea and use it as though it’s theirs?

Don’t they have conscience and ethics?

Why would people degrade themselves to such level?

Ain’t there no originality anymore in the world?

It’s only a freaking English presentation (oh, for heaven’s sake….), why would ppl wanna be kiasu about it? 

Does it mean u could just adopt ppls idea as yours when it sounded fine?

If I say I might use it, does that imply I am NOT using it?

If being nice to people means giving opportunity for others to take advantage of u, would there be decent nice mankind in the world?

Does patience with ppl has its limits?

Man, it’s a pretty rough week for me.

I’ve enough workload to last me till assessment, I don’t need THIS!

A friend told me, its never wrong to stand firm for your rights…and I ain’t bulging this time.

I want peace, leave me with it.

Humming the tune of Sound of Music, “So long, farewell, it’s time to say goodbye….”

Trust me, without all of you, I don’t think I could deal with leaving so soon for the orientation in Kedah and skipping the AIESEC’s Xcapade camp. (Yes, it broke my heart being not able to attend that!) I never thought I would be leaving so soon! *sobs*

The fact that I had to leave my dearest current roomie saddens me as well. Thanks so much Jing Pei, you had no idea how much impact u gave to my life. A sis, friend, mentor, and buddy at the same time. I wish I could live with ya for ages. U understood why I had to do this and tried whatever means to make sure the path chosen is safe.

And to my ‘identity crisis’ twin sis of mine, Goay, *lol* I’ll alwiz miss ur presence…Its so comfy hanging out with ya and as I said before, even in silence I still be able to relate to you. Will come back n find u and others from time to time…>< (Bong msg me the other day, “Goay, dun miss ya!” arghh….) Please dun go cut your hair bald yea…I’m used with ppl mixing us up ady.*wink*

           Anyway, separation will only be temporary as I’ll find ways to work down south….*grin* I’ve a knack for long post, so forgive me for droning on and on…

Will be missing all of you

Signing off with *poking forefingers and puppy eyes*….

I’m leaving , on a jet plane…bus coach…

It’s final, after weeks of agony on deciding, I’ve decided to leave my most loved life in UM to do dentistry in AIMST, Kedah. I think I’m a blessed person as I’ve an endless score of friends who gave me words of encouragement and support without boundaries.

What triggered me to do such a shocking thing? This is the question that works up the curiosity from friends who called me up. Those who knew me since secondary school and high school, I bet some of u all weren’t that surprised. Still remember during high school years, how we used to wonder what we’ll end up as five years down the lane?

At that time, the only thing I could picture was being in the dental profession. Perhaps it was the influence of my aunt, or it’s something that has been imprinted in my mind for so long, yes…I’m a plain old stubborn person. I’m trying to reach something that I could imagine doing in the future.

After a year enrolled in UM for biomedical engineering, I’ve begin to grew fondness of this course despite my disinterest in certain subjects. (thermodynamics aka thermal fluids…8^th wonder how I manage to get an A- for the first semester, dynamics.. I’m hopeless in imagining things that move…*sheepish grin* no wonder it’s a C+…).

Thinking back, I did enjoy my biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, calculus and critical thinking lectures. I think I’m so gonna miss my ko-k guitar classes as well. And although electrical circuits aren’t easy, it did appeal to me as interesting. Lol, and vector analysis was a dreadful ‘moving’ thing as well. All in all, I don’t really detest it because it has already had a place in my heart.

Familiarity breeds contempt, a well said phrase. It was really something challenging and interesting, and I’ve even considered only doing dentistry after I graduate. Uh huh, sounds crazy I know…Sadly, my parents and I think it wasn’t the most feasible option. (I might be hunching with a walking stick by the time I do housemanship…okay, I’m exaggerating bout the getting old part *don’t roll your eyes*)

“Why only after a year?” some friends asked…Yes, it’s a kind of contemplation I’ve put aside after I thought it wasn’t possible anymore. What makes a person’s heart leap when there’s an opportunity? Unless if I do still want it deep down.

What I’m sure of is I’ve never regretted enrolling in UM. If I we’re given a time machine and to travel back last year, I’ll still thread the same way up to here. It sounds silly I know, but the experiences I had we’re definitely priceless and it has shaped and molded me into what I am now.

I’ve finally made peace with what I’ve chosen, even though the next 5 yrs ain’t gonna be a picture perfect one, I’ll thread on because I’ve once touched by so many people of their support. I won’t forget…ever….
