One-and-a-half-year-away

Wohooooo..... Today is the end of first week of the second semester of 4th year. Time flies man! Is "wohoooo" appropriate??? Not now Laura, not now. Maybe later on. Its the mark that i'm getting there. I have to be more mature, more responsible, more hardworking and more what-so-ever in order to get through THIS. Some says, its honeymoon year, as you'll go through HELL when you enter final year. Well fair enough, forth year is not as bad as the fifth year, but still its nothing like honeymoon year. NO, NO, NO! Last semester really a tough one, nah not THAT tough actually but it was tough. Clinical medicine really messed up my semester.. But i did enjoy the class. It was nice, really..hahahahha.... It was not that bad actually, just that lately i became a lil bit lazy from the last time. Last time i used to stay up at night for last minute revision but now no more staying up at night, the latest i can go is 1200am. More than that, bubye nighty night. I'll go to watch football match whenever my junior offers me to... No hesitation. I'll go on movie on the weekend providing there is no rotation. I'll go for seroes-marathon whenever i feel like watching it. I'll go facebooking whenever i'm bored. I'll sleep whenever i'm sleepy. I learnt to enjoy my life more. Life is not only about scoring As in your study. Life is about Living! Life is about enjoying things! Well, i'm good as long as i'm above the average. Huh! Life is like football, "Its doesn't matter scores first, what does matter is that who win the game when the time is up, thats the matter" Hahaha.... I know i'm getting there and when i get there;
I know i deserve to be there
I'm qualify to be there
I'm as good as the others who were there earlier
I'm there because of ME, myself
I know and I know it!

Finally ^^

Hui Ling, Josiah Yong, Laura Benedict! Delta Rocks!

We met each other 7 years back when all of us chosen for National Service in the biggest camp in Malaysia that time *i dunno about now* Junaco Park Camp.

W were in the same company DELTA as well as platoon. That was how we get to know each other.

It took 3months for us to complete the program, but some of them had to leave earlier for matriculation, form 6 and A-level but i decided to stay till the very end of the game.

After that moment, i never meet any of NS-mates until today. We did 'talk' to each other on social network like facebook, friendster last time. Ah, how good it feels.

So after years, we finally managed to catch up, even only 3 of us. Movie, dinner and gossips were just perfect.. We should do this more frequent with more gossips XD. Till then
Ciao!

The Darkest Day


The darkest day: Feb 6th 1958

February 6th will forever be circled on the calendars of everyone connected with Manchester United.

On that day in 1958, the darkest day in United's history, 23 people - including eight players and three members of the club's staff - suffered fatal injuries in the Munich air crash.

Flying back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade, the team plane stopped in Germany to refuel. The first two attempts to take off from Munich airport were aborted; following a third attempt, the plane crashed.

Twenty-one of the people on board died instantly. Aeroplane captain Kenneth Rayment died a few weeks later from the injuries he sustained while Duncan Edwards - one of the eight victims from the team - passed away 15 days after the crash. The tragedy is an indelible part of United's history, as is Sir Matt Busby overcoming his injuries to build another great team which won the European Cup 10 years later.

Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), David Pegg (22), Tommy Taylor (26), Geoff Bent (25), Liam Whelan (22) and Duncan Edwards (21) all died, along with club secretary Walter Crickmer, trainer Tom Curry and coach Bert Whalley.

Eight journalists died - Alf Clarke, Tom Jackson, Don Davies, George Fellows, Archie Ledbrook, Eric Thompson, Henry Rose, and Frank Swift who was a former Manchester City player. Plane captain Ken Rayment perished, as did Sir Matt's friend Willie Satinoff. Travel agent Bela Miklos and crew member Tom Cable also died.

We will never forget.

Me, Year 4 Part 1

Time flies.. Just finished the first semester of Year 4. Meaning i'm 1 and 1/2 year away from graduation. Gosh! I dunno how i get through all those crazy and challenging days. *I guess more challenges await* Seriously, its time to get serious.

Last semester was another crazy semester for me. Sum up of the semester i had gone through 12 weeks of rotation (my first one), 15 tests in total, 5 final papers in 14weeks. That a real tough one, and tiring too. But i'm pretty sure next final 3semesters will be even tougher. But no matter how tough it is i'm sure i'll get through it somehow, One day. Even though i was a busy, crazy and tough semester, i learnt a lot throughout the semester. Even now i've been trying to work out exactly how i got here. Whatever! I'm here now, sound and steady. "Keep me sane till the end please" Hahahaha...

K.I.A.S.U

KIASU = a typical word used by Singaporeans (and Malaysians) that literally means "FEAR OF LOSING".

There is good type of KIASU, as well as annoying type of KIASU.

Good about being KIASU;

- well prepared for anything because you're steps a head of the others

- provide a competitive environment and at the same time you'll inspire your mates.


Bad of being KIASU;

- ANNOYING!!!!!

- ANNOYING!!!!!

- ANNOYING!!!!!!!

Weeee~ m just too lazy to study..... coz I'm NO Kiasu. *Only kiasu at certain time*

Lone Ranger Trip in Thailand

Nah, at first i thought i can't do it alone but I did it. OMG, i travelled alone, AWESOME!!!! XD. After i finished my training in Kasetsart university I decided to stay longer in Thailand and go for BACKPACKING!!! Yo, Backpacker!! A lot of responses i received when i told people that i'm going for backpacking alone,

"Are sure you'll be ok??"

"Seriously, alone???"

"Be extra careful, sumore you're a girl."

"Nah, i don't believe in you. Sure your friend will come right."

Hahahaha, i'm on this trip alone.. Everything will be just fine and pray for my safety throughout the trip. ^_*

Day 1 (1/2 day/): Traveled through Choa Phraya river using by boat. The places was very nice, just that a bit hot. I don't have problem with communication as I din talk to people. People tend to speak Thai to me, which 101% of the time i cant understand what were they trying to say, so i just keep quiet. Nothing much on the first day coz i arrived in Bangkok about half past 2.

Day 2: Ayutthaya, here i arrived. I woke up as early as 6 o'clock coz wanted to catch the earliest train to Ayutthaya. Because i heard from my new Thai friend, Thai's train is SUPER SLOW. I managed to get the earliest train which was at 7.00am. From my reading, i should be arrived in 2hours time, and who knows i only arrived at 10.30 in Ayutthaya. Then only i understood how SLOW is Thai's train. But the most important thing was that i made the trip safely, nothing more important than that. I rent a Tuk Tuk with a CHELSEA's sticker on it.. Gosh, m a Man utd fan, hahaha, Well, Man utd dun ride Tuk Tuk, they only take high class mode of transports.. XD. There my journey in Ayutthaya begun. Owh GOD, Ayutthaya is SUPER DUPER NICE. The city is very beautiful with all the historical Wats. I watched a movie on Ayutthaya before, and from there I already fall in love with the place and i can see the historical city of Ayutthaya was just right in front of me. Reminds me of KING NARESUAN, famous King of Ayutthaya. I visited few numbers of wats and the palace as well. I took me nearly 5hours to travel around Ayutthaya. Then I went to nearby city called BangPa-In. In BangPa In, i just went to one Palace, Summer Palace which took me about 2hours to round the palace, WALKING. Finished with Bang Pa In, i headed back to Ayutthaya and took a train to Bangkok.Owh forgot to mentioned, the train only cost me 2obaht/trip which in RM, about RM2. By the time i reached in Bangkok, I was super tired and running out of energy. But i used all the remaining energy to go to the Pat Pong Night Market. I bought nothing because I knw i definitely come back to the night market again the next days. zzzzzzzzz.......

Day 3: Because of tiredness from Ayutthaya trip i decided to just travel around Bangkok on my 3rd day. Day for animal visits. Supposedly, 3 new friends from Indonesia (who did their practical also in KU) join me for the trip but they cancelled in last minute because they got somethings on, so again i'm on the trip alone. But i don't care cause from the very beginning i was on the trip alone. LONE RANGER!!! I went to Dusit Zoo or the local called it "KHAO DIN", so please next time use "Khao Din" because the cab driver don't know what is Dusit Zoo, Luckily i picked up some local words from friends in the university. Nothing really impressed me in the Zoo except the fact that they had White Tiger and Seal Show, other than that, nothing more than Malaysia's Zoo. Even then, i spent almost 6hours in the zoo.. hahahhahaha... Well, i love animals, even the place doesn't impressed me at all , I still cant take your eyes easily off animal. They are just amazing, aren't they? That's how amazing an animal can be.
After Khao Din I went to Siam Ocean World, something like our KLCC Aquaria, but this one was bigger and the entrance fee is more expensive also. 1000THB, can u imagine. The RM22 Aquaria i also think twice whether want to enter or not. Haha, I went in, since i was there already. Pretty nice, coz the 1000THB included back house tour, Glass bottom-Boat Tour, Happy feet (foot massage). 4D movie and a cup of Pepsi + Popcorn. The collection was pretty nice and may i can say worth the money i paid for and i spent about 3 hours there. What a day, and again before i heading back to the backpacker's hostel i dropped by at Pat Pong Night Market...Enjoying the night life of Thais. And again, left with empty hand.

Day 4: Khao Kheow or Kanchanaburi? Khao Kheow or Kanchanaburi? Kanchanaburi or Khao Kheow... Damn, i cant make a decision coz I'm not a decision maker. I draw lots, and Kanchanaburi i go. Just like what i did in Ayutthaya, i spent the whole day exploring Kanchanaburi. I went to few temples and then followed by visiting 'remnant's of WWII. Visited the War Museums (two of them), the Memorial Park and also the River Kwaii Bridge. Planned to overnight in Kanchanaburi but i have to re-plan because i have to go to KU the next morning. So, took evening bus to Bangkok and again dropped by at Pat Pong Night Market. My favourite place in Bangkok and this time i came back with full hands. It was my last night in Thailand anyway. Khao Kheow, i will definitely come for YOU in the future.

Day 5: My last day, i was invited by the international officer of KU to come over to the main campus of KU in Bangkok. Took sky train to Mo Chit Station and grabbed a cab to KU. This was rather funny, i told the driver to send me to Kasetsart University and he looked at me with weird face. Then repeated for a few times still he can't get me. Until finally i said university in Bangkhen, then only he responded, " Owh, KASET!" What... Then we arrived at the main gate of KU, and once again he cant understand me..

"Uncle, go to Animal Hospital"
No response, i guess he don't know what hospital is.
"Uncle, go to MEOW MEOW Hospital" i really meow... again he put his weird face., Nah, how am i supposed to tell the driver that i want to go to Vet hospital. An idea striked, i took out pen from my pocket and i drew a cat with a cross sign next to it and the uncle responded,

"OOOWH........." at last, he dropped me in front of Vet Teaching Hospital, KU.

Before the meeting i had breakfast with the Indonesian student, a new friend of mine. Finished the meeting i gt back to central of Bangkok and went for Window Shopping. After few hours i went back to my hostel to check out and left to airport ant 2.30pm. Bye2 Thailand and i will definitely come back one day.

What a trip!!!!
