It was another day to go,another exhausting day to undergo spangled wit ward round n rounds n roundss, tbl, and so on. But today was a different new kinda of experience, umm..not really new but kinda stil sparking me wit those fresh n new kinda of feeling from the incident tat happened today morning. I was clerking my as the usual routine goes. N while doing PE on tat patient there was someone asking for help from behind my bed. I was too amused wit the murmur tat was humming into my stets, tat i didn take notice of it. I was much flabbergasted to the crowd after i had my job done n wen turn myself to the bed behind me. It was an emergency collapse,a malay man in his fifties, which the docs are all busy resuscitating. I put on my gloves and straight to the crowd desperately for another try to perform CPR on the patient. HonLian n Kexin were tailing me. 3 of us had the opportunity together wit those HOs n consultant. N wit God grace, his heart pumped few minutes later n by then he was then stabilised. Broad smile painted on each of everyone of us.
But, no one knoes how God played around wit our faith n lives..It was then after my ward rounds tat patient’s BP plunged..almost 40/20 mmHG, n well..tat time I was jus wit the anesthetic and a nurse. Got no idea at all where’s the rest of the HOs. N so, I braved forward or if izzit the silliness of excitement which drives my adrenaline to push myself to save the patient. I did the CPR on my own, n the anesthetic was giving away few jabs of atropine n adrenaline to the patient. It was really not easy at all doing CPR. Uh, I did really give all my best to the patient. Sweat was profusely dripping on tat poor guy who’s already lying coldly there. Ou, there was once when I can heard a crack sound on his chest actually. Only then one of the HO turned out to take my place. N we took turn to resuscitate him. Half way, a nurse asked me to do an ECG for the next patient next to him. Eventually after tat, when I returned bac to tat bed, the doctor asked me to check tat guy before pronouncing dead. N yes, there’s nothing much can be done. My hope fell down crashing n it was really a bad miserable morning. Couldn’t believe after so long, bout 2 hours trying to get him alive, but stil he left. Couldn explain how I feel but tat was something new to me. My second time, after the first one fail as well in A&E department..haih…

Post Exam Pyrexia
Uh..Was one of the most mundane post exam period in my life..Jus ended 3 papers in a row n eventually was down sick. It started actually few days before exams but much to my anxiety towards the coming exam, i totally ignored bout my illness. It progresses worse especially towards the 3rd day when it was my exam day. The next day was supposingly be my Redang trip and everything had ady been arranged. Too bad...too bad.. i cannot make it. My body started to spotted with rash. Small rash, macules like rash..was bit freak off initially tot it might be dengue as 2 of my batchmates ady suspected dengue; one of them ady in the ward. Felt lucky though tat i'm not in. I came bac for the 2nd checkup to the GP in KL as the first one was really lousy. Tat doc straight ask me to the nearest hospital for dengue checkup as it seems to be a very typical dengue case, n off me n my mom to HUKM. The rash started to itch..n itch n itch. Uh..the itch's really unbearable. Really irritating n wish my skin to be rip off from my sinjew..uh..itchy itchy..even till now.
My platelet is at the lower border but still normal. I asked the doc for anti histamine jab. It did wore off a bit of my itch but later it comes back after short while.
Today i went back to HUKM again for my second platelet checkup and luckly my platelet did increase n i'm assured i'm on the safe side. No more fever but stil the itch is unbearable..
Really pissed off my mood to carry on my daily routine n even to write this blog..haih..Pissed me off to tat i couldn make it for my redang trip...
sigh...=(

Convo Day
Everyone..~this is it..Gold medal la..Congrats Hau Chun!
Bunch of sam pat kias..finally completed phase 1..Wohoo~
Yesterday was sort of something meaningful in my life. Something tat had crosses my mind before but seems to be quite unachievable to attend tat function when I was stil in Sem5. Yea, it was our IMU convocation addressing the end of the first phase after completing 2.5 years in Bukit Jalil for our medical sciences programme before pursuing our dreams in Seremban Hospital. Indeed, it was somehow a tiny lurid moments to be able to go on top of the stage to receive the certificate from the Chancellor. Earlier, during sem5 it was jus a mere hope tat I would be even walking along tat red aisle,,very mere.. Flashing back at those memories bac during my Bukit Jalil, I knew I was far too deviated of my focus to my studies. The grim tat I’ve undisputedly juggled during tat time was indeed coz of my own settings of priority towards my studies. It would be different if I’m more stern on my main priority. Anyway, luckily during the end of my sem5 I am able to pick up again, which hammered me through tat semester putting myself on tat occasion yesterday. Of course, I will not let those histories to be repeated again.
I was indeed much inspired by the speech of the student representative’s speech who had fulfilled his dreams tat day. It gives me more assurance of the pace tat I’m taking on this route, is gonna be a long long one. There’s stil more sweat n tears tat I need to shed before I would be able to stand up like him one day. Besides, it had emulated me to regain my self confidence much more. I was happie for everyone tat day. On top of tat,I was much more enamoured by the news tat my housemate is the Gold Medalist of our batch. This would had prodded me to even emulate more on my hope to achieve more.
Congrats Hau Chun!!!Morever, our batch M204 tat created another history in IMU of the highest Dean list, of 74 in total where all this while its jus a mere 10-15 in numbers of the dean list students in other batches. I was really glad to be in this batch…~We are jus too good~
Albeit, the journey is stil long n the progress tat needed to developed is still a surmountable high, I would hope tat I’ll be blessed wit more determination n perseverance. Like wat I heard tat day during the speech, quoted by the father of medicine, Hippocrates “Cure sometimes,Treat often,Comfort always…” had blossomed my interest in medicine for more…

Mother's Day.
"Of all the people in this world there's only 2 person tat wil not ever harm u...One is ur dad and one is me". I was 18 when she first started to say this to me. Maybe the brashing age n my mindset tat time had drowned away my rationality. I never listen to those philosophies..Never. On top of tat, i was always the opposition under the same roof in tat house. Though i knoe something which is not beneficial to me, but stil i'll do it jus for the sake of satisfying myself looking at them so 'sakit hati' especially her..rebellious huh?..Looking back now as age had caught up in me, I was undisputely naive and immature. I owed her for life..
She was there the 1st second when she brought me into life wit all her might bearing the world's toughest pain. Ady there i owed her lots, stil i was always hating her whenever she caned me n hit me during my younger days. The pain tat she beared was really no match for those cutaneous pain tat i had from her, not to mention her inner pain everytime she caned me n kicked me only for my own good sake.
Of all gal in this world, she is the one tat understood me the most. Yes, this is very true..i dunno why n how come she had such a capability..i surrendered n humbled to her prowess to do so..She understood my demands despite most of the time i denied her acumen. She raised me up well...very well indeed , despite i mourned always bout her child upbringing ways which is being too dictated. How wrong i was, always thinking tat the grass is always greener than the other side. I was here being who am I so far, partly becoz of her.
I knoe all this while, i had hurted her most compared to my other 2 brothers, but i shall not apologize to her, for i've been forgiven by her everytime i hurted her unaware. I knoe i will never be able to fill bac the love potion tat she had poured to me all this while. N i realised too tat she had never ask anything in return from me..All she wans is to raise me up achieving happiness and reaching for greater heights for my own good sake.
I'll always remain the same and wil thrive for the best.
For today, being the World's Mothers Day, i would like to wish u Happie Mother's Day and Thanx for everything. Things will never be the same without u...

Back..
Wow..My blog has been halted for quite sometime. Been feeling myself so stuffed n packed though i had finshed my posting a week earlier. Maybe the laziness had ady come to play recently. hehe.. Anyway, things are fine and busy as usual. Rite now, its ady the 8th week i'm in Seremban, really fast. Jus a glimpse and its ady 2 months i'm here in Seremban. Been adapting myself well here in this small community and not forgetting to mention the bulky workload here. Well, this is my week for my new posting -Surgery. As they say, surgery is the posting on its own world. A world with its own arrogance and flamboyant composure. One would jus has to judge the surgeons wit the 'MR' address in front of their name to knoe wat i'm really talking about.
Tat first day itself, on monday i was so lucky to be able to observe a surgery done in the OT during my on call which lasted for nrealy 3 hours. It was an appendictomy with complications which normally took bout half an hour to finish the job. It was a perforated one which causes multiple inflammation around the right lower tummy. There's 2 surgeons who's in charge n for tat 3 hours they stood there busy performing their virtuoso play. They are jus so cool man...! The assisting nurses and the anesthetist were changing wit their own counterparts along tat 3 hours but its the surgeons tat were standing for 3 hours with full attention nad coolness..
I od really admire them.. It lasted till around 12 mid and it was a successful one.
I was much inspired by this and it really buried me wit a new hope of becoming one of them one day..

Glorious Nite
Inside the Philharmonic Hall
It was an unforgettable moment to hav the opportunity to delve the contemplation of one of the prodigous concertos masterpiece in the Malaysia Philharmonic Hall last nite. Thanx so much to my cousin brother who are kind enuf to expose me into this wholenew monumental experience. It was a legacy entitled Beethoven Violin Concerto in D, a masterpiece transcended down by the title itself, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Its unprecedented as one of the greatest concertos of all time,n many would hav quoted "the best concerto ever written". This glorious orchestra is being led by a German-borned violinist, Vivian Hagner, professionally conducted by the French stage master, Mathias Barmet..
It was indeed an eye opener for me. From the accustomed clothing before entrance itself, i think its much a classy type of show la. Only ones with formal wear like jacket, or batik,, tuxedos, n etc are allowed to be seated in the hall. As for women, only gown are allowed to be seated. As a first timer, there's really few rules which my cousin told me, much to my amusement.. First, only clap when others clap, stand n clap when others do this too. How true it is..There's few moments along the play which i tot was the end n nearly clapped, but the play til proceed wit pindrop silence. I really mean it when it comes to the silence..It was a total pindrop silence along the play. Even a sniff or cough can be easily noticed along the play. Secondly,once in the hall, n the show begins, any tolerance of shitting n peeing shall be appreciated to the max. Coz those who stood up n walk away wil be considered rude.
I njoyed the whole play. The whole play combined by the prowess of the leading violinist, acumen of the conductor and the brash grandiose skills by the rest of the supporting orchestra players had make this play a Great one..Only at times, newbie like me finds difficulty in judging the end of the play..
Me outside the Philharmonic Hall
Fine tuning before the play starts..
Me, my bro n cousin bro in the Hall
The last salute by fellow Monsieurs
Sumptous supper later on at Imbi Hawker Street..

Nose Biopsy Thrill
Everyone do hav their ups n down..Yes, it’s a universal understood statement. I need to go for nose biopsy today. Due to episodes of nose bleeding for a week since last week n I had these episodes since 2 years ago. I referred to my senior doc last week n he was so kind enough to refer me to specialist in my clinical hospital. Wen for last week for the 1st appointment n upon reaching there, I was scoped by the doc. Wat a terrible experienced it was! I really mean it! Uh, supposingly I hav to do the biopsy tat time itself but due to my hyperallergy nose condition so I hav to do it today..
So as usual today I wen to the hospital as early as possible hoping tat I can get the earliest number. I reached there at 8 something n I was the 2nd earliest person to reach there aiyo, due to some technical or system prob I dunno, but my turn happen to come only at 10.30 which supposingly my appointmentwas at 9am..Anyway, came to the thrilling moments when my biopsy process tat suppose to takes maybe 15 min the most, but ended up from 10.30 til around 2pm…Haiyo..wat a morning n torture tat I underwent for tat 4 hours. My nose’s hyperallergic n my turbinates were swollen covering bout 80 % of the nostril as usual. So the doc hav to use the olden type of scope which is rigid as big as a 2B pencil poking in til into my pharynx through the nose n I actually could feel it behind my soft palate. Pain n discomfort are jus the words I can describe. I teared upon tat scope inserted into my nose. Since my turbinates are too big so the doc hav to ‘packing’ which is basically stuffing the gauze all into my pharnx which is already soaked wit this cocaine solution which helps to shrink off my turbinates n also act as a local anesthetic before the biopsy takes place. I keep on running nose for the whole process. So I hav to bear wit it for few mintues before it takes place. Uh.. then comes the doc again to ‘unpack’ it n hav the biopsy to be done. My nose was too allergy for the solution n wat happen is tat there’s too much mucous inside my pharynx n the doc hav to use this sucker to suck the liquid out. I hate this process as its really painful n uncomfortable coz if a careless motion of the hand the sucker wil suck on my nasopharnyx flesh instead liquid, works something like the home vacuum la..haiyo..each time this happen I teared n hav to breath through my mouth. My lips were numb all the while too as the solution dripped from my nose to my lips..find difficulty in talking la..
I hav to undergo for the 2nd time of anesthetic packing again because its too allergic n the doc hav to change the the solution. A stronger one. Then again the whole process of scoping n sucking process takes place again. This time again the doc tried to do the biopsy, Initially she tried to poke in the scope together wit a scraper( which is the biopsy tool la) in the same nostril. Already my nostril so small plus wit the swollen turbinates its basically like inserting two 2B pencils into the same nostril. Wa..cannot describe the pain n uncomfort. I crumbled in pain n tears were jus draining down..Then the doc tried to use the other nostril for inserting the scraper while the other one the scope, so u all can imagine how torturing it was. At times the process hav to stop to suck all my mucous which jus filled into my nasopharnyx in few seconds only. My nose was too allergy. It was really pain tat moments as the doc hav to scope inside my nasopharnyx motioning in n find the site for the biopsy to take place in my nasopharynx wall. At last the doc showed some mercy n stopped n again I hav to undergo another time of anesthetic n this time instead of packing, she spray the other type of anesthetic into my nasopharynx. Wow..wat a thrill..Tat moment I can’t even talk or even swallow coz its too kuat ady..But still I keep on running nose. In the end after the 3rd anesthetic the doc managed to do the biopsy successfully after many attempts. Doc praised me for being a very cooperative n good boy…aiyo…boy…?anyway…I’m more than relieved tat the whole process had finished. Result wil be out 1-2 weeks later.
Actually after the first scope tat day, they had noticed tat there’s this ‘fullness’ or in other word is hypertrophy at the wall of my nasopharynx..Doc was sheepishly answering me when I asked her actually wat’s her worry..She answered me NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma..meanwhile, I keep my fingers cross ler…
PS: hey jie.. I jus read ur blog tat day. Yea me too. Miss you here. Missed those moments in tkd n also those lepaks, sing k n more for tat 2 years I knoe u. Everything’s fine here til this thing takes place lo…always take care ya. Will see ya soon again!god bless =)

Jus another day to become a doc.
Time waits for no man. How true it is and I couldn’t been done anything more to agree to this fervent statement. It passes jus like a flash of lightning jus before monstrous thyphoon takes it Triumph..Weeks passed so fast tat ‘m now ady in my 2nd week of new clinical phase here in Seremban. Was so enthused n full of semangat to start this sem anew. Been telling myself to do well in my studies here in Seremban. After a week of orientation, packs of demotivation by the seniors, my semangat was drowned defiantly, while on the other hand trying myself hard to push myself up on par to my own expectation.Bulk workloads, long working hours, not enuf sleep, on calls, stress n bla blas are among few factors tat had managed to culture shock majority of us including me. Anyway, preserverence is the key the tat I’, trying hard to hold onto now.
According my seniors I’m lucky to be able to start my posting wit Family Medicine for the 7 weeks before proceeding to the nex posting in my Sem 6, Surgery n Internal Medicine, 7 weeks each. Family medicine was more relaxing compared to the other posting tat other of my friends got. Tat’s y, I got the opportunity to get a good start to adapt to these zany lifestyle n environment. Everyday my schedule was packed though not like others but stil packed from morning 8.30 am til after 4 pm..unlike surgery n internal med, its 7.30 am – 5 pm not forgetting at times wit on calls, it lasted til 10.30 pm Social life n entertainment life been so limited n even time for sports is being limited to the max ler…
…ha…can’t believe this happening so soon before I even track into the doc’s pathway.haiyo…
Anyway, guess this new environment wil change me into another new n better person..
Looking forward everyday tat I’m jus another day nearer to achieve my life’s goal..to become a doc…=)

May u RIP..
I watched him changed in a vast. He had not been eating nor hardly drink for the past 2 weeks as far i can recall. He was weak,always sitting still on the food container sleeping all the time, at times can see him pondering, pondering at his imminent future tat is waiting for Time to take him away, i guess. As the weeks unfolds, he got more n more weaker n his fur started to drop one by one..Very few left tat his bare reddish skin is noticable. I had sent him to the vet clinic twice, but i guess fate had played its surmountable role..went twice n twice the vet clinic was closed. I did wat i suppose to do, changed his bedding more often, n tried to feed him the pets vitamin portion to him, but stil to no prevail. He was stil as weak as before. Soon i'll be leaving to Penang for CNY break n initially i tot of leaving him alone at home coz i wil be away jus for few days, but judging from its sombre condition, i decided to bring him along back to Penang. I knoe there is only so much comfort that i can bring him this way, but in the end, i knoe i cannot tame death. He ended his final whimper of breath around 7pm on the first day Chinese New Year. I was not around tat time. My aunty was there to witness his last breath. He lied n passed away peacefully on the food container- the site where he loves the most where he can get his food all the time there..There's much memories to be rekindled between me n him. He will always remained as one of my best pet ever,lived for 2.5 years since he was 2 weeks old n had travelled wit me before few places, Perak, JB, KL n Penang...had watched him grow together wit his late brother..
May he rest in peace n find his way to his ancestors ...=)

Land of Hornbills - Kuching
Supenda!!!
On top of the City of Hornbills
After much thrill n excitement in Miri, i was much flabbergasted by Kuching. Upon reaching Kuching's international airport, i was much enthused by the size of the airport. After years of my ulu picture towards this enigmatic land, the airport had brush away all my previous pic of this city..Straight it hit to conjure another new pic in my mind. Kuching is DEVELOPED!!! In fact its bout 2 times larger n developed than Ipoh city. They hav large broad tar roads, the hav lights on the trees, big gigantic kucing statue, tall tall buildings 40-50 storeys tall, big houses on land, KFC, McD, Pizza Hut, Coffee Bean!!, Body Glove, Giordano, and Nike outlets there..The only strange thing tat i manage to recall is tat the very minute population of the Indians there. So so MINUTE! Even Mat salleh are seen more on the streets than them..
5 days in Kuching was packed wit loads of fun n romp. Thanx very much to Imelda n Glen who brought us around there. We wen kayaking, beach stay, cultural village, Kuching city tour, makan, makan n makan...Uh, my stomach stays happy all the time there. Stil remember those local foods like the Dayak brinjal, Ka chang ma, ko lok mee, the piring vege(kind of paku pakis), and wild paku-pakis.

We pooled 2 nites at Sing Yee's place. For tat 3 days 2 nites, Sing Yee brought us to scout around the Miri City, Crocodile Farm, and also the majestic Niah cave..
Thanx so much for Sing Yee's family hospitality n not forgetting her bro who's kind enuf to take a day off jus to drive jus n join us for the Niah Cave expidition..
A biggest taoist temple in Miri
Bird tat talks a lot
A daring attempt...kekeke
The first ever oil rig in Msia
The majestic Niah Cave -One of the biggest cave in the worldLand of Hornbills..
Land of Hornbills a.k.a bumi kenyalang Sarawak, typically roamed by these hornbill birds, Buceros bicornis or the Great Indian Hornbills. The heavy whoosh of its wings as it approaches or leaves in the thick jungle recalls a close encounter with a jet airplane. And then there is the huge bill, the horny casque, the striking plumage patterns, the long tail .... these are birds to be remembered long after they have moved on. And some have incredible calls: those of the Helmeted Hornbill may be the most impressive bird vocalizations in the world! Was an invigorating experience to able to visit tat enigmatic land where rumours boasting tat hornbills are jus like the crows flying around at the 'Under the Tree Economy Rice' in Sri Petaling every evening; rivers, lake, sea, longkang wit full of man-eating reptiles giant cicak -crocodiles; the ferocious head hunting jungle tarzan who loves nothing but head; and those Paleolitic Caves. Apart from these, i was very relished to see their tree houses and the barter system tat they are stil practising. All these were told none other by Monkey Glen Tan which triggered my attempt to explore this ulu land.
All was geared up, me n Yee Leng from Peninsular, Butt Gordon from Sabah..Our first stop is at Miri,3 days 2 nites---->Kuching 4 days 3 nites----->Sibu 2 days 1 nite..

Scaling Thrill.
Jus like other days, again i woke up late - 11 something. Parents went outstation be bac only tmr nite. Saying goes 'when cat not around, the mouse roams' , i am the mouse. hehe.. I was brainstorming myself to think of ways to look for cheese. I cracked my head again n again to perk up myself to look for cheese, but there's no one left to acc me..Only then i tot of going for my annual teeth checkup at any nearby dentist clinic.
I went to carefour 1st floor, behind Nam Heong Chicken Rice, if my mom didn mention to me bout tat place, i would had never step to tat place ever. There's a dentistry clinic over there. I registered myself in tat clinic after my lunch in KFC around 1.30 pm. Tat lady ask me to come back around 2.30 coz there's an appointment at 2pm. An hour to go, i really dunno wat to do. Felt lazy to walk bac home n come out again in half an hour time, so i wandered around in carefour. Anyway, jus as i stepped into Carefour they called me n ask me to go there at once as there's a vacant time for the dentist to consult me.
I went. As usual, tat lady clad in white coat wit a mask gestured warmly at me. I gargled the listerine she offered before the whole scaling process takes place. I remained cool unlike during my younger days, when lying on the chair seems like offering my head on a gullotine waiting for it to take me. I was cool..She checked n assured me tat everything's fine wit my teeth and was happy when she told me i was lucky tat all my wisdom teeth dawned out perfectly in position.hehe..So then the scaling process starts.
It started and hurted me quite..Felt as if my gum was peeling out.. One by one, startin from the molar, premolar , canine and incisors..after finishing the upper row , she asked me to spit out my saliva and she told me there's some blood.Ok then i spitted. to my horrow, my saliva was dark red in colour. Fuh..i was jus like the TVB series heroe who always vomit out blood after a success triumph against the villian. It relieves me bit after i imagined myself tat way. Asked her why was so much blood and she told me i got gingivitis. hmmm, i don think so..
Anyway she carried on her job scaling off those plaques one by one till the end and asked me to spit out again. Again, my imagination struck wildly. This time there were clots of blood and i can feel the pain everywhere in my mouth..She ended her job by polishing my teeth. It was numb at the end of the whole process..
After everything's done, i paid a wholesome of RM62 for tat consultation. Uh tat was dear. My previous scaling was jus RM30. Asked if there's a student price for tat, she jus smiled..My whole mouth was filled wit this iron smell. So disgusting, n felt so compelled each time i swallow my saliva. upon reaching home, i checked the mirror. Uh, there were wholes in every of my gums. Explained everything wat so called 'gingivitis'...As for now, i felt pain each time i chew my meal..It paid off quite costly...

The Aimless Ride.
Much to my greed to fill in my contentment, i was so frustrated of myself recently. Frustrated of myself being achieving nothing beneficial to myself during this break. Its been 2 weeks since I got my result which marked the dawn of my holidays. Been trying to keep myself busy wit the house chores, helping around mom to prepare the CNY delicacies, tidy up my personal stuff, lepaks, looking for part time job,some sports- jogging, badminton, tkd...but in the end, i still feel discontented, without any satisfaction of things i've did. Jus dunno why..Jus can't find anything to satisfy myself...No any high expectation of anything...jus dunno why...wat happen ah??
From dawn till dusk, things i recalled were merely jus waking from bed, bath, eat, hosue chores, sleep, surfing aimlessly..um...yea tat's all. Days were jus lethargic, n dull...haih..Occasionally went out wit friends, n wished it could be longer..

Faith N Friendship
Here's my article for my convo mag to all my dearest friends, who stood my me throughout that period- your encouraging words, guidance, support, faith, and prayer saw me through a low point in my life and for tatm you hav my utmost gratitude... MILLIONS THANK YOU!!!!
I believe faith remains an elusive comprehension among all of us. Each of us have our own yardstick of how strong our faith stands still when challenges are up there upon us. I felt compelled to write this article and wanted to share with u guys, after I experienced how I engaged the struggle to rebuild my faith in the midst of grave peril. It was a merely a year ago when this happened to me…This astringent memory stays vividly in me and had become part of my life, reminding me most of the time of my past mistakes. I flunked my semester 3 finals.
It never ceases to dampen me of how I can fail my major exams, as studies are never considered as a hurdle to me throughout my primary and secondary schooldays. I’m here not to boast how brilliant I am, but just to describe the contrast feeling that I encountered towards the first failure in my life that I never expected before. That afternoon everything stays fresh as ever in my mind. Upon receiving my results slip from AAD in MPH, I had a bad feeling, different from what I felt during the semester 1 finals results. My heart pounded profusely, and was sweating all over my palms n feet. I was expecting the worst, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. I was too weak to face the imminent truth that my sixth sense had been telling me. I asked Poh Sen to help me to get open for me. Once he glanced at my result I knew my sixth sense was accurate, he drove his full attention towards me when he was actually still chatting happily with Aaron. He stared at me at his full acuity, and furrowed his brows before tapping me on my shoulder. We used to joke around nastily, but I knew he was real this time. I was hoping so much that it was just a prank, but I knew I was actually still procrastinating myself to face the truth.. the real truth that I failed. He showed me, and his first sentence were “there’s still time, don give up”. Yes, true enough I failed.
I paused, stared endlessly at the slip. I went blank. Thoughts, more thoughts and more undefined thoughts were dancing around my mind. I don’t know how to respond to it. Zhi yong broke the brief paused. He asked if I’m ok with my result. I passed my slip to him and I continued to pave my thoughts, pondering my impending future. Will I stay on board with other batchmates in M204? Will I still be able to fulfill my ambition to be a doctor or if it’s merely jus a dream that I’ve been craving for? I felt myself being a useless runt. I felt being a runt among my group of friends. Soon enough, Andrew, Hai Liang, Chin Pei, Sze Siew and Christina knew about my result. Chin pei and Christina came to me, tapping on my shoulder and tried at their best demeanor to comfort me. Glen was there too. I was still sitting on the chair, when Gordon came to me along with Hendrick. Both of them didn’t utter out a single word. Gordon looked at me, he knew I was trying my best to keep my composure cool, yet he did not stop me. It was a silence in the MPH, as if those who were in the MPH were mourning. Then, Poh Sen held my hands up and began to pave our ways out from the MPH. As we were out from the braodway, Desmond approached me, and introduced his dad to me before he realized that I failed. He prayed for me and gave me his number for me to contact him if I needed help. I was moved, touched by him and began to feel touched by my friends who had being with me earlier just now.
Upon reaching ground floor, Ganesh was there. He came to me and passed me past years papers and some tips that he found useful during his earlier preparation for the exams. Oh yes, Wern was there, on ground floor too, when she approached me with her un smile to cheer me up. I went back to my room accompanied by Wern. Upon reaching my room, fleeting thoughts of my parents ran across my mind and I couldn’t help it, and eventually burst into tears. Whimper of tears sobbing from my eyes, reflected questions in me of how I can fail the paper.. Did I neglected my studies for SRC? Taekwondo? Sports? Or maybe SMSes? Or maybe izzit coz I’m destined to fail? Sheers of silly thoughts hummed through my mind. I knew I was too late to think the causes. I turned to Wern for solace.
That night, I tried hard to sleep. I faced a monstrous nightmare in reality and it left me a very very deep misery and sorrow chapter in my life. I traced back again my mistakes and those encouraging words and SMSes by my fellow friends and family. I knew I couldn’t be in that situation for long and the only way out is to fight..to fight with perseverance of faith and hope, learning from my mistakes. Its not easy though, to withstand the horrendous pressure for 5 weeks when all my friends were having holidays, having fun with their electives, celebrating Chinese New Year, and so on. I had to mug for 5 weeks, attending remedial classes, study group, and worst of all, is the psychological push that is needed to prepare for another final. The weeks passed as though were years. I experienced episodes of sleepless nights. I tried to persevere my thoughts from time to time towards a positive outcome in the end. I tried to look for motivations from my friends via SMSes and calls. Days are getting nearer, and the fear of exams began to imprint in me. I never had this feeling of fearing exams before. I felt myself a coward, and loser in exams.. I was lucky enough that time to have my friends, lover and family with me that during crucial period.
Soon enough, the exams began, and all of the resit students underwent the paper with great torment. The paper was tough, in fact tougher than the real paper. Many small particulars were set as questions, and it was more clinically orientated. Dr.Thani, our coordinator, as usual with his humble abode calmed us down and told us that he’ll try his best. Results were out a week later then. Ironically, I felt contented. Neither do I feel scared nor anxious for it. Not nervous and no cold sweat, I remained calm on the day the results were out. I opened my slip myself, n yes….I’ve made it!!!
I hope I can share my article and would be able to contribute to u all as an inspirational true story when we’re at our bottom point of our lives. There are still infinite miles of journey that we need to travel along in our future undertakings as a doctor, companion, and parent. After this chapter, I strongly believe to myself that nothing is predestined. Everything happened for a reason, may it be because of our own mistakes. Hold on our faith when we met the obstacles halfway on our journey. The obstacles of our past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings… All the best !!!!
“Special thanks to all my friends; Gordon,Poh Sen,Glen, thanx so much for ur encouraging words, SMSes, and guidance throughout tat period, ur notes; Hai Liang, Andrew, and Zhi Yong for ur q n a sessions during the last week before the real day; Ganesh, for ur tips and past year papers; Kok Hooi for ur past years papers and guidance; Desmond for ur prayers and company in the library during the remedial class week; Shio Yen and Wen Hao for ur prayers too; Hau Chun, Hendrick, Sze Liang, Hon Lian, Debbie, Christina, Kexin, Chin Pei, Sze Siew, Kim Kwan, Callista, Khai Luen, Ding, Sau Tjun,Chris Kia, fellow SRC members(Chow, Eve, Jing, Nadia, Raj, Shirline, Drick, Kah Heng), Pei Ling, Yi Jie, Sue Choo, Sumiin , my fellow seniors( Adeline, Shieh Ning, Kar Ying, Khang Hee n few more), Joe Quah, for u guys continuous effort n SMSes..

Colours of Rebel
True enough, i passed! I merely jus passed my EOS 5, as wat the rumours saying tat only 1 failure in my batch, had been ardously spread since the viva list was out. I was pleased with my result. Nothing more than tat. I could had demand more of wat i've done n expected, but who cares...i passed...=) 5 Sems in IMU and my results all the while were not strikingly encouraging, except during my first sem n during my last few exams in IMU. I guess, I hav to keep my priorities and concentration anew when i got to my new phase in Seremban. Oh yes, I've managed to pursue to my 2nd new phase which seems to be still in blur distinct. Anyway, tat's not the highlight..hehe..
Upon receiving my results, tat evening i was in my heady excitement to dye my hair..which i had actually tot for few months ago. I'm dying for it actually. I reached the saloon n everything went on smoothly. I believe in tat hair stylist's prowess, n fair judgement,so i basically just asked him to mix n match everything for me, while trying not being look like 'ah beng'. He chose this 'pink yellow' colour for me, which i tot might too eccentric but in the end, when tat colour mixed together wit my natural black hair, it turned out to be goldish yellow... Here's some sample..
I've expected the outcome when my mom saw this. But i never knew it turned out to be so funny to me. No doubt, i got scolded like nobody's business. Reason?...First, no medical students dyed hair( i felt so inspired actually if its true,i'll be the first medical student to achieve such achievment,i'm more than honoured to do so), 2nd only SAMSENG and BADDIES dyed hair(might as well our country's law is to arrest ppl wit hair dyed) 3rd,when i asked bout her own hair colour which is being dyed, she answered me bac tat she's a gal...I felt more compelled into asking more, or else i would end up laughing rolling on the floor, or perhaps i should be angry?..i'm confused..And so...we're not in talking terms, til i dyed my hair bac to black..Nah!..NO WAY!!!!Its rather a win win situation..keke.
Anyway, things got chill down...
I'm jus ok wit it...She's ok wit tat too...Perhaps after receiving my results slip today, only then she felt more joyed...
Overall, i'm quite pleased la, though i wan the other colour...yet another colour of rebel..

When Road Met n Diverged
The recent departure of one my close buddy,Hendrick miles away to Aussie had left me a deep loss of another companion whom i might not be able to see again. Moment of rekindlement during our moments together as housemate, colleagues(SRC,AMSA), PBLmate, CSU-mate, was afresh in my mind. Its kinda bit heavy, trying to think tat he's leaving there for his own good, pursueing his life's dream tat we had shared together during our good old days in C1-3-5 makes me feel better. Gone were the days..So fast n yet so quick..Bon Voyage my dear friend~
Trying to rekindle bac again,perhaps this is not my first time facing such a momentous situation coping wit my life, moving ahead always while trying encapsulate my feeelings not to be too drifted away by the feelings of sobness...Tears were shed umpteen times before during my younger age when me n my family were leading towards a nomadic life,even now.moving um...the 5th settlement i am staying now. Knowing someone and separating were then become such a norm for me. Counting now, I knew a real number of ppl from different traits of life.Really lot, We joyed, shared, n doing activities tat we wil strive for our life's dream..In the middle, we learnt from each other, accepting each other weaknesses and try to improve from there.. There's more to be listed of wat i've treasured wit ppl tat i knew before. Some of them, are stil in mobile phone n stil being in touch, some,God knoes went where n some minority had perished n met Him njoying now, i guess.Afterall every beginning has an ending, jus tat we never knoe when n where.. "Life's like a box of chocolate,u never knoe wat u've gotta get".(sounds familiar eh?...forrest gump '96)
There's more yet to come soon, when seperating wit someone tat i knew n joyed together for years wil come to an end except for the memories tat's being left vividly behind...
When each of us from different directions of roads wil meet at junction and diverged again..we move on..life stil goes on.
