Guess what, today is FRIDAY, June 1, 2012. What so special about Friday 1st?? Nah, nothing special, and seriously nothing at all. But is a just another Friday of my life and which is also happened to be the last day of class of me being DVM 4. Yeap, put a side the study week, i just done with all the classes for DVM 4. If it is not a vet course, i surely celebrating it right now, but i'm a vet-to-be so i have to bear for another year. I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty fast and pretty stress as well. Meaning i'm exactly 1 year away from finishing or the starting point. Am i ready, hell no! I can't wait to finish but in the same time i'm not sure whether i'm up for it or not.
For example in a case of blood donation. To donate a blood i must go some check up first before i'm qualified. Its not like you go to the hospital and simply tell the Dr that you want to donate blood and he/she will take your blood without any examination. My blood parameters must first be checked, most of the time my hemoglobin level is quite low. So, as a consequence until now i still don't have a chance to donate blood because of the hemoglobin level. I tried so many times but i still unable to. What should i do, to enable me to donate blood in the future. I'm taking supplement and now my hemoglobin almost reach the normal value and hopefully by next year i will be able to give some of blood to be shared with others. See, life is not that easy also not that difficult.
Once a teacher told me, if you want something, work for it. Do not wait for it to come to you, because it will never be. I hope by that time i'm ready for it, but even if i'm not i'll have to be.
This semester has been good to me, good on my definition, not others. Others definition of good might be totally different than mine. Good and bad things happened and i really learnt a lot from it. Get scolded is just a part and parcel of student's life and you will somehow get immune to it. And thats how we learnt, but i'm not saying that i want to be scolded at all time in order to learn something new. Sometime someone else has to push the button to wake us up.
Haish, tthe final exam is so near, yet i still here lying on my bed and lazying in front of my lappy. How am i going to enter the final year with this attitude. Hahaha, but who cares, this is how i carry myself. I'm happy with who I am.
Coming after the final exam, 11weeks holiday will come, which is not a holiday for me. My weeks is planned in such away that i will not have any break in between. Hopefully this will help me in becoming a better vet in the future.
Week 1: Post Mortem Practical in the faculty
Week 2 - Week 5 : Volunteer Practical at International Animal Rescue Indonesia for a month
Week 6 - Week 10 : Malaysia -France Colaboration (Ruminant)
Week 11 : Small Animal Clinic Practical
Now, after looking at this i feel tired already. And i dont know what else to be written out here...

Hyacinth Macaw; Things that We might want to Know
Today i feel like writing about Hyacinth Macaw, the most beautiful macaw, for me at least. Above photo was taken during my vacation practical at Wildlife Unit, Kasetsart University Thailand last year.
Look familiar??!! Hell yeah, if you watched RIO, this is it. The Giant Blue Flying Bird!
Hyacinth macaw happens to be the largest of all parrots. Thats a WOW! And i bet the the price to buy and to own this giant flying creatures also not cheap. Hahaha, so think twice before you get one, and plus point they are under the status of rare to endangered species. So, forget about getting one, let them fly freely out there.
Their beak, the powerful of all beak. They can even crack a coconut. Beware of your fingers, do not simply try to pet them.
As the barn out i described earlier, hyacinth pairs are extremely faithful and they also share the tasks of raising their youngs. Aww~ Breeding starts at 7years of age once a year to 1-3 egg(s). Incubation period will take about 29days before hatching.
They are playful, intellegent and avid chewers. They truly enjoy toys that they can explore and get easily trained. Besides that hyacinth macaw able to mimic human vocalization very well. Don't get trick.
In the wild, macaws often flock to mountain of clay known as MACAW LICKS.
They can live up to 60 years of age. Age together with you.
They feast on fruits, nuts and clay. They need more nutsss.
Most importantly of all they are also known as GENTLE GIANTS!
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.
