Home

Dear Diary,
I miss home...I miss everyone back home,I miss my mum's cooking,I miss Penang Asam laksa,I miss Penang Char Koay Teow, I miss Penang Prawn noodles, ok I guess I am just too hungry..lol..
But it's true that I miss my family.I had a phone conversation with my brother last night. After the phone conversation, I missed home badly. I seldom have the opportunity to be with my family as often as I want. Although my parents live in Malaysia too, I don't get to go back home as often as my colleagues who are from KL...and my siblings work in oversea, so I seriously don't get to see them very often (once a year if I am lucky enough).
Btw I still feel happy that I can go home in two weeks time.These are the things I MUST do when I go back home:
1) Eat Penang Laksa (I miss you babe!!!)
2) Eat Yong Tau Fu (at a hawker place in SP, believe me, they sell the best YTF there)
3) Go jogging everyday ( I used to do exercise everyday, but currently in relapse)
4) Shopping!!!! (It's Sales season!!!!)
5) Sit down and think about what I am going to do for the next semester (My medical posting will begin next sem and sad to know that we'll be getting Dr Khalid and Dr Wong as our tutor. I heard that both of them are very demanding! Nooooooooooo...I am not looking forward to next sem)

Ok Diary, I got to go now. Thanks for listening to me....talk to you again soon.

Love,
Joo

Let it be....

LET IT BE

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.


Whatever it is...just let it be. I am still searching for the answer to my life..but it has now come to a point where I am tired of looking for the answer...so just LET IT BE....there will be an answer (well,maybe not..)

Better in Time - Leona Lewis

I can't stop listening to this song. Have been playing it over and over again. The lyrics sounds a little sad though...

BETTER IN TIME


"Better In Time"

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realise that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: X2]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
End of song

"It's gonna hurt when it heals too.It'll all get better in time"
Well,I totally agree with that.It's just a matter of how long will it take for a wound to heal? one day? one year? ten years? or even a lifetime? "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and a lifetime to forget them." I suppose the quote has answered everyone's question :)

April is a month to be remembered.....

Why I say so? Well,1st of April is a day to play practical jokes on others,send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting...so it's basically a day you can play prank without having a sense of guilt.Apart from that..there have been 2 birthday celebrations within this month. First,it was Fan's birthday. Sri organized a birthday party for him at Danga Bay....

Sweet...

Merry...

Next, it was Jia Lin's birthday. Knowing that she would have expected a surprise birthday party from all of us. I told her honestly that we would celebrate her birthday at my place but I didn't mention how many people would turn up.Before she arrived at my place,I got everyone to hide in the balcony.When she finally turned up,I lied to her that a lot of people couldn't attend the party.Once she entered the living room,those who hid in the balcony rushed out and gave her a surprise..lol
Well,would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone..
A big thank you to Shin Yin and Mama Bear for helping me with the decorations,cleaning up my place and preparing the food

A big thank you to those who attended the party: Su Wen, Angelyn, Vivian, Ji Keon,Shantini, Nina, Sareetaa,Chia Pei, Christine, John, Alvin, Lawrence, Daniel,Eng Kee(thanks for the vodka :P) , Leon, Faheem, Alvin John, Sri and Fan!!!

and of course not forgetting those who came afterward: Anna, Ben,Gary and Chris!!thanks for making an effort to come!

Last but not least...
A big thank you to Jia Lin!! Thanks for being my best friend and may our friendship last forever!!

Wow! Such an interesting life I have.....:P

Finally....here am I updating my blog!
So...what happened after my brother's weddding?
Let's take a glance at the interesting events before and after I went back to the uni....

28th January to 7th of February

Trip to the UK and Netherlands with my family

In the UK,we spent most of our time in Manchester,but we did visit places near to Manchester,e.g. Liverpool and Sheffield.It was snowing in Manchester!! I was still pretty excited when I saw the snow, even though I had a few "snowy" experiences before this. I sacrificed my sleep just to capture the beautiful moments of a snowy day. Watching the snowflakes falling down was nerve soothing and I started to have a romantic fantasy ;)
Other than the "snowy" experience, my trip in Manchester was mainly about having a big feast with my brother's friends, cooking, shopping...sounds boring but I really enjoyed myself!

Let it snow let it snow!! This picture was taken outside my brother's house in Manchester


He is so adorable!

Our "masterpiece" :P

Of course, not forgetting to mention my trip in Netherlands. We were there for only four days. Places visited: Amsterdam and Dan Haag. Was impressed by the high environmental awareness among the Dutch. Most of them use bicycle to travel from one place to another.
Highlights of the trip:


Look at the bicycles behind us..Bicycle is one of the main transport used in Netherlands

On the train to Dan Haag

We visited the red light district. I was shocked by the way the prostitutes "sold" themselves. Basically they were displaying themselves in a "glass room" ,wearing only bikini. They were attracting their costumers by showing different sexy postures.It was a real eye-opener!!! ;)

9th of Feb to 15th of Feb
Traveled down to Johor.This year is our clinical year and we are attached to Hospital Sultanah Aminah Hospital in JB. Time to be back to the uni:( The first week was transition week. I found that clinical year is completely different from pre-clinical years. In clinical year, you are expected to learn a lot of things all by yourself.I am doing surgery at the moment and trust me,the surgeons are quite scary. They always bombard us with plenty of questions during bedside teaching. We'll get scolded if we don't know the answer. Therefore,we have to do a lot of pre-readings before we go for ward rounds or bedside teachings. Apart from that,unlike pre-clinical years, we no longer deal with simulated patients,instead,we deal with the real patients. We will always be asked to perform examination or carry out procedures like venepuncture on the real patient! Talking about venepuncture,I managed to perform it on the real patients. However, there were a couple of times I didn't manage to get any blood from the patient. Once, I was trying to draw blood from a malay woman..her vein was hardly palpable. I just made a rough estimation the location of the vein and inserted the needle without hesitation. Dammit!! no backflow of blood!! I became nervous and called for help "nurse,tak ada darah..macam mana?".Luckily the nurse was friendly enough to show me what went wrong. *Phew* but the patient seemed to be very angry...I asked " Sorry Makcik,sakit kah?" She answered rudely "Mesti sakitla!!!" I felt so embarrassed and I wished there was a hole for me to hide myself :( Well,I believe that practice makes perfect,so I am going to practice blood-taking more often!

22nd of Feb
It was my birthday!! Thanks to my best friend Jia Lin and my classmates!!!They surprised me with a birthday party :) I had a fun birthday and I'll always remember it!
