Concern parents, Selfish drivers

As I was waiting for my mother to come down from her tuition center earlier today, my attention was caught by a red Mitsubishi which has disturbed the free flow of traffic on an already narrow road. The driver was a parent waiting for his/her child to come down from the tuition center. He/She wasn't double parking, but 'triple' parking. Big cars like Pajero and MPVs had extreme difficulties passing through, and yet the driver of that Mitsubishi Triton didn't have the courtesy to move.

Yes, I do understand that the parents might probably be afraid that their child couldn't find their own way to the car if the parents would have parked further away. But to obstruct the traffic when driving a big car like that is just selfish. Moreover, I noticed that there were 2 people in the car. One parent could have just got down from the car and wait for the child so other parent could park further.

Anyone living in Semenyih would know that the old part of Semenyih Town has narrow roads. And I'm sure the other drivers were cursing under their breath. I really hope we drivers would respect each by not being selfish behind the wheel.

Practicals in Russia : a waste of our time

I started my hospital practicals today... and I only have one word to describe it : FUTILE

All I got to see today was intramuscular injections. Or shall I say that I only saw 6 buttocks today.

Yes, it was pointless because we weren't allowed to do the injections, we only observed. So much for practical skills mastering eh?

Since we were in a large group, we were assigned to 3 different hospitals. And in each hospitals, we were further sub-grouped to 3-4 per nurse. So those who got assigned under a scrub nurse will get a chance to see surgeries (maybe). While the rest of us (most of us) only wasted our time doing pointless stuff. Some of us were asked to clean the pantry, some had to arrange medicine bottles, some even did nothing and drank tea!

And because we are only 3rd year students, our practical only consist of nursing practice and we are not assigned to doctors. What a bummer....

Actually this is the first time we Malaysian students had to do our practicals here in Russia and not back home. For the past years, seniors have been doing hospital attachments in Malaysia. But this year the rules have changed and we are not allowed to do in Malaysia anymore all thanks to this man :

Thank you Tan Sri, for making us stay here and waste our time.

I hope we can do our practicals in Malaysia next year, because if we can't, then we are screwed.

*additional stories : One group had to mop the hospital floors! hahahaha.... man, epic fail!

Russian Military Bunker & Metropolis : Recipe for an aching feet

I went for an group excursion today. I visited a Russia's top secret military bunker that was used during the Cold War in the 1950s. I experienced what it was like to be 65 meters underground. It was kinda scary being in a dark and gloomy bunker. I'll tell more about that experience in the next post, since I'm totally exhausted now.. haha...

The excursion didn't tire me tho, it was the shopping afterwards that made me feel like I'm walking on nails now..

YES, I went shopping again, 4th time in this week alone.. my goodness, I just can't help myself. What can a shopaholic like me do at times of sale?? I did not plan to shop anymore this week.

OK here's what actually happened. After the excursion, I was hungry. I didn't have time to eat anything before I left my room, I was running late. So I followed some friends to the Metropolis mall for lunch. And I did told myself that I should go back after lunch..... but..... the shops were on big sale.. One shop lead to another, thus plastic shopping bags started filling my two hands.

My friends and I went out of the mall at 11pm when the mall was about to close.. hahaha!!! It was fun shopping with my fellow shopaholic friends, Farah & Hanis. What can we do? We're shopaholics hehehe....

But I swear in the name of my dear blog, today is the last time I'm gonna go shopping... Because at this rate, I'll be broke by the end of the month.

I hope I can keep this promise hahahhaha...

Happy Heart, Aching Feet

Practicals are starting VERY soon, and I'm spending what's left of my holiday by going out almost everyday.. hahaha... and yes, yesterday I went shopping.......... AGAIN

At this rate, I think I'll be broke in a month HAHAHA!!

Though yesterday's shopping trip with Ann wasn't really worth it because the mall we went to hasn't really start its sale on a full scale yet. But it was fun walking from one store to another looking at stuff and 'tagging' items in our heads. When the sale starts (towards the end of August), we'll be going again to get those items we've tagged hehe...

Oh by the way, I did managed to get myself my first ever skinny jeans. I never wanted to wear one since I felt it will be uncomfortable. But Ann convinced me to get one because skinnies are in trend now, and she said it'll be ok once I get used to it. Oh well, and so I got my first skinny jeans from MNG.

And now I have to go soak my feet in warm water and massage my aching feet... I knew I should have done this before going to sleep yesterday.... what a bummer to wake up with an aching feet.

Shopping is what I was born to do

Summer sale has just started here in Moscow. And I couldn't just waste my time by staying in my room watching Korean dramas everyday, I HAD to go shopping.. haha....

I went shopping yesterday, and I went shopping again today...
Yesterday's was nothing tho, I would have to call it 'engine-warming'. LOL!
And now I'm ready for more. Next stop : Metropolis.. more shops, more stuff, more sale!

Shop until we can't shop anymore...

New necklace I bought today

Got tired and thirsty we hung out at Coffee House to rest our feet and quench our thirst....

Ahhhh... what a great day out.... I wanna go shopping again soon. Let's consider this shopping spree as a therapy because I have to stay here for another month due to my hospital practicals :(( I'm dying to be back home now and I miss my family terribly... so to soothe my aching heart and my frustration, retail therapy is the best remedy.

Hello blogspot~

Hello everyone... my oh my... just look at the date of my last blog post. It has been that long huh? Well I was so busy with exams and all, I just couldn't find the time to blog.....

*clears throat* ok that's not entirely true.. Yes I had a lot of exams, but the main reason for my long absence was because I was plain lazy to write anything.... and thus, I left this blog stone cold.. haha....

Anyways, I just came back from my friends' apartment after spending a night there. We ate and hung out, and ate some more, and we talk and joke about nonsense things, and watch stupid videos... haha... It's very refreshing to hang out like this after all those killer exams. I almost died you know!!

............................. ..........

ok so yeah, I had a great day

Why don't I have anything more to say?? hmmm....

Oh well, let's make this a short update just to get the feel of blogging again. heh..

Oh and by the way, I feel like changing to wordpress. Since I already have a wordpress account for my Korean lyrics site, might as well create a new blog in wordpress instead. Seriously, wordpress and livejournal makes blogspot looked lame.

Poor guys....

I was studying earlier when I came across 'gynecomastia'. I knew what it was, but never actually seen one. I have never seen pictures of it, much less see it with my own eyes. So I decided to wiki it. This came out.

My first responds was:

*speechless* ....................................

ohhh... hahahahahahahahaha!!!

ermm... *cough cough* maybe I shouldn't laugh.. but this is kinda funny...hahhaha....

So I was being 'inquisitive', and went to youtube in hopes of 'learning' more about this disease (actually I intended to have more laughs).

And I saw a video that changed my mind set. It was really cruel of me to laugh at something like this. It may not be a fatal disease, but it is not a laughable matter either. And even if I wasn't actually laughing in the faces of guys who has it, but I still felt that I was being evil.

I'm a medical student, and will graduate as a doctor. I should have known better.

My first Sony Vegas editing

I learned how to use Sony Vegas 9 in one night. Well of course I'm still rusty at it, and there are so many other features I have not use yet. But this is my first attempt in editing a video. Hope I'll come out with more interesting videos later in the future.

This is the raw cut from Arirangworld.

And this is the one I edited using Song Vegas and Audacity

Sony Vegas is a complex video editor, and it made my head spin. But it was fun learning all this tho...

I should go and have a shut-eye now.

"At least he's using good beans"

LOLL!!

It has only been 2 hours since I woke up, but I think I might need a 2nd cup of coffee.

Caffeine is running through my veins....

Battle of the races

If you are well aware, arguments between different racial backgrounds has been going on and on for centuries, especially in countries where there are a few main races that make up the major society.

If you are still wondering what I am.... let me enlighten with the fact that I'm 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 Malay. My daddy is Chinese (Baba to be exact) and mommy is Chinese+Malay (who was brought up in a very Malay way).

So anyways, I was on skype with my family back home, when my dad and mom had this tiny 'argument' about whether the Chinese being better than Malays.
Ohh but don't get me wrong here. Of course we are not racist! If my parents are, they wouldn't have been married all these while right? hahaha...
It's just that sometimes, when my dad started having his 'sense of pride' --->as what I like to call it, and my mom starts having the need to defend her own race, it gets really funny.... And my brother and I was laughing all along looking at our parents presenting their statements.



Isn't Malaysia a wonderful place? With different ethnicity that makes us unique..
So the next time you pass by someone with a different racial background, please be generous with your smile.

It doesn't matter whether you are dark skinned or pale.
Eat with hands or a pair of chopsticks.
Have slit eyes or big-wide-beautiful eyes.....
We are ONE

Pharmacology & The lucky guy

We are supposed to have a class at 3.20PM but our beloved Bondarchuk postponed our class today to 5PM, which she still came late for. It was nearly 7PM when we finally saw her. I kinda pity her because when another teacher is on sick leave, she has to handle a lot of classes on her own. But we got really tired of waiting..... so we played with the camera. Cam-freaks never know when to give it a break

Studying diligently?? errr... so not!!

They are just posing for the camera... pfftt

Since when Pharmacology includes the use of a stethoscope? hahaha!!

After our so-called class, we went for dinner at a sushi bar. Raimi got very lucky today, and he was feeling 'ecstatic' about it. He he offered to belanja makan... hehehe... Thanks dude!! This is the 2nd time. I have to remind myself to belanja you next time. hehehe....

Fork & knife in a sushi bar? hahaha.. nahh..

This is Il Patio's side of the restaurant. We had to sit there because the Planeta sushi's seats was fully occupied.

The camera-guy who got left behind. SORRY!!!!

lupa laaa.. sorry ye cipi. Promise we won't do that again ^_^
