I'm ageing meh (?)

If you simply ask any foreigner what are their impression of Asians

Their answer mostly revolve around quiet, humble and timid

Mainly because of our culture and upbringing

For some reasons, being too loud or involving in any activity that makes yourself stand out are regarded as being snobbish LOL XDD

Anyway, time is changing

We were brought up not to rebut whatever our parents told us

But kids these days are so smart, it's impossible for them to just take in whatever you tell them XDD

Eg the scenario below:

Mother: You're such a naughty kid!
Child: You're such a naughty adult!
Father: *rolling on the floor laughing*

*Mother pengsan, Child won*

Not only that, even the culture these days are evolving too

For instance in Japan...

(Not sure when the group is established, but I included 'old japan band' while googling for the Before picture LOL)


Oklah maybe you can argue that both group are of different genre

Hmm, then how about this example in Taiwan:

See, even girl's band are dropping the usual 'sweet, cheerful, cute' outlook.

What a change!


Thankfully we're not seeing these in Malaysia...yet

I was still having the Asian stereotype of 'quiet, meek and timid' until today in the clinic...

And the uncle came for a TOTALLY unrelated problem from what he is elaborating ><

In other words, he volunteered all the omit-able XXX infos without us asking

OMG TOO MUCH INFO! *screams*

I swear he would go into 'details' if the doc didn't drag him back to the chief complaints

If he were a youngster then I could understand
(Then again youngsters rarely complain also)

But this...a granpa looking as benign as Colonel Sanders??

Is it me or I'm just outdated? ><

Sweat -____-

Long waited (?)

Yo everyone!

I know I've been missing in action for quite some time...

But hey, it still doesn't stop me from saying this...

LONG TIME NO SEE WAKAKAKAKAKAKA XDD

(Kindly ignore the sugar-induced hyper-ness)

It's been 7 months since my last update

(still has the gut to say, memang tak takut mati)

*you may skip this part*

Forgive me 'cause there were so many important things that kept me occupied. Well I'm not saying that maintaining a blog is trivial but when you have non-stop incoming workload and the amount of hours you get to spend is still the same, then you really gotta do things selectively. Plus I didn't wanna rant in this blog (it already exceeded my emo quota) so most of the time I'd rather not stain it and vent it elsewhere like games instead.

*end of panjang lebar explanation*

Reader: Ah so that's where your 'free' time went
Jeb: .... ><

Anyway, things are slowing down and now I get more free time for myself (HOORAY!)

Just finished my elective posting (GP attachment) 2 weeks ago :D

Selective is fine so far...apart from the grilling, Q&A, patient clerking, PEs

I would say so far so good, plainly repetition of ward work in HTJ

But definitely I've more free time compared to school days (YES!)

Partly it's 'cause I always took the initiative to run whenever I can :D

Rest assured peeps!

This blog is not abandoned

I promise I'll update it more frequent from now on!

A man of word is one who keep his promises!

*dramatic background music with spotlight focusing on main character*

Counting down few minutes before Sunday ends

Tomorrow would mark my 2nd week of Selective posting

Best wishes to everyone in whatever you're doing right now!

Let's hope I'm not running out of jokes yet :D

Opposite of desserts

Have you ever look back at your life

And ask yourself: What the hell am I doing here?

You know at times like this

No matter how many deep breaths I've taken

The anxiety is still there

I can't explain to you the amount of stress I'm experiencing

Because then you'd laugh at me

And that would be the very last thing I need at the moment

I tried motivating myself everyday

Telling myself to not give up

To persevere on until you reach the destination

But you know

As stale as it sounds, words repeated so many times kinda make you feel numb too

It's not helping that every morning when I wake up, my to-do list is equally as much

I don't see the end of this, a bit disheartening I guess

Weekends are like luxury now

I feel trapped

Trapped within the walls that I couldn't see

And it's getting suffocating in there

I wanna break free from all this

Wanna escape to a place where no one knows me

Wanna run like I never did

Till my legs gave in and just pengsan in the middle of the road

Wanna laugh at my craziness

Wanna ignore what tomorrow has for me

Ah, what am I talking about

All this madness will never happen


Or did it?

Hmm, maybe I'm delusional :D

Restless

Yes, I know this blog's been dead for quite a while

Forgive me for my long absence ><

Sad to say, this will continue on for some time until I finish my obligated duties

Sigh

There's a lot of things going on since my last update, and it's too hassle to point out one by one here

But rest assured, they all happened for the better purposes X)

At least that's how I would like to think it as

Been keeping touch with a friend lately, and I'm really amazed at how much a person's life can differ when they are in overseas

Compared to her, I feel so much like a child

I can't imagine the stress she's going through, and I really salute her for being able to make it through

I highly doubt I can function as well in that kind of situation

Life is like flying a kite

When you pull it with full force, it's likely that your string would break

So don't ever think that you're having full control in whatever you're doing

Gonna start 3rd week posting in Ortho tomorrow

Sadly, I've yet to enjoy this posting as how the previous group put it

Maybe it's because I still haven't get a hang of it

There's so many things going on at the same time

CFCS, Research papers, EOP and also the theory papers for 2 postings

Damn

24 hours is simply not enough

It's only a matter of time that I fell off my chair and pengsan for real

And I shall not be surprised even when the day comes

UGH!!

I want holidays!!!!

Thank you is not enough

I was studying quietly in my room

Suddenly I heard people calling me outside

(Rest assured, no more horror story)

So I tilted my head out

It was my landlady

Tong sui = bubur manis, dessert

'Getting slim' is just her way of getting you to eat by the way

I went down the dining hall to find 2 packets

1 contains the red bean soup, the other with 2 pieces of yam cakes

Both of them are still warm

'Those are for you, make sure you eat them!' my landlady shouted from upstairs.

I was very touched

And feeling very pai seh

Because she treated me another meal (supper)

This morning she bought me laksa (I took it for lunch)

And the week before mee goreng (dinner)

Maybe it doesn't sound much

And you might retort, 'It's only a simple meal. Not like you're eating abalone or shark fin'

But it's the heart that counts

I'm not good in words

I can't explain to you how thankful I am

Because I've been saying that too many times, you might think that it's getting stale

It was the sweetest red bean soup I've ever taken

I feel blessed, Aunty =)

Jeb is a scaredy cat!

Jeb's rule of being home alone: Stay away from anything that has horror element!

But she wasn't smart to realised this until just then T.T

(Although not going out also even with bright sun)

So I watched some videos on Youtube

And didn't realised they were telling ghost stories until half way of the show

Coincidentally...

And I freaked out...

Turned out to be the repairman (don't know when did he enter the house)

Yea it was an anti-climax

But still, my heart stopped when he opened the door T.T

That's why people, if you're a scaredy cat like me (I highly doubt so)

Just be smart and stay away from horror movies/stories

The price is too much to pay T.T

Give me back my camera *sob sob*

What makes you happy?

In 1970s, there was a research conducted to follow up on people who won the lottery

A year later, they interview these lucky people again to ask how they feel

It was reported that they were no happier than those people who didn't win the lottery

Researcher then refer this phenomena as 'hedonic adaptation', which implies that everyone (be it you or me) has a baseline of happiness

In short, it means that we experience happiness as temporary moment of joy

I don't know if I should be glad of human's ability in adaptation -___-

But I believe that there's no harm to keep in mind those wonderful things that happened to you

Before you took things for granted and realised how lucky you are X)

So I'm making a list for myself

To constantly remind me how fortunate I am

And be thankful in life :D

#1: To have 2 great people whom I can depend on

#2: To have a big family in school

#3: When I was finally able to the play the first song with my instrument (More like Negaraku of hell)

#4: To be accepted into Med School

#5: To know more brothers and sisters through God

#6: Discover the passion towards photography

#7: To have a pair of strong legs that enable me to explore around

#8: My first attempt in video making

#9: Pass EOS 5 and proceed to Clinical School

#10: Development of a first human character

#11: Holidays after a tiring posting

#12: To have the opportunity to travel around and savour all the mouth-watering goodies

#13: Companions on the same journey

#14: To have friends that are just a click away

#15: Establishment of a comic blog with many support

#16: When finger is gripped by baby cousin

#17: Cooking

#18: A 'Good' from lecturer (it's also a goal)

#19: Postcards that traveled across the ocean

So yeaps

These are the things that make me happy

May I remember them always

And give thanks of whatever I have =)
