OWLS FUN FACTS

Owls Fun Facts

Did you know that Owls do not have CROP??!!!

Yeap! They do not have CROP like other birds,  their food goes straight to the stomach!

Their diet mainly on small rodents, and occasionally small birds.

Their eyes are fixed to the skull, hence can move up-down or side-side (immovable eyes) to 'compensate' this they possess special neck mechanism - quick turn. Eyes set in front like ours'.

Mate for life and very emotionally attached their partner, how sweet they are.

They fly silently! Beware if you are within their diet range.. You'll never know when they come and grab you.. :)

Not like other raptors, their ears is exceptionally essential to aid in their hunting activity. Where's the 

ears, go figure out yourself... Haha, its located behind the facial disk.

Owls do more than just hoot—they create many 

different vocalizations. They even can 

screeches, whistles, barks and hisses.

Group of owls called Parliament, and their smallies called owlets.

...........Buzzzzz...........

Its week 7, half of the semester and leave me with another 10 weeks to finish my 4th year of DVM. That's how fast times fly. They always told us that 4th year is the honeymoon year for vets student. Really??? Who the hell first come out with that idea. I'm half dead now.. This semester especially, this week i considered the first week after 1month of sleepless nights. Tests come day after day, plus some other commitments that occupying your mornings and nights that shall not be mentioned here ;). Besides that i still want to get myself involve with other activities organized by the faculty's clubs, of course you do not want to miss all that too right. Maybe I'm too 'greedy' but who cares. I want to be a solid vet not just a vet that managed to completed/passed the 5-years program. So, hopefully by doing all this I can be a good one in the future. To be a good one you no need to be the smartest in the class, everybody with some effort in it can be a good one, EVERYBODY! Of course to be a good one you need knowledge, i can't debate on that. But knowledge alone is not enough, you have to go beyond that. Yeah, true, sometime i feel very tired and I just want to end everything there and there. But am i ready?? To end something else but am i prepare to start a new journey of life? Haha.. i guess NO. As long as passion and determination is there i believe that i will pass through successfully. No regrets! Without those two i don't think i will still stay here. To be an animal doctor is NOT EASY! People might think vet is just about TREATING CATS and DOGS. No people you're wrong, for my case at least. I have to spent 8years of my life *drama* just to get a degree. With people with that amount of time will be able to finish their master or even PhD already. Way too long and i know its going to be worth and more importantly it is what i want to do. YEAP, Its What I want to DO and I 100% responsible for that matter.

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...

arent the tiger's ears look super cute???
