The 21...

Erh, apa itu 21 and why i blog abut 21 leh?
I guess only Jack can understand..
Because I always call him 21, cacat, down syndrome ma..
Dont have the chromosome 21.. Hehe.. + his sternum deformity..
Well, then yesterday at the food court, lunch time..
Talked to a guy, named Ken Yaw from Taylor SAM la..
Then, when mentioned about my mum gave birth to me when she was 41 years old..
He said, "shouldnt you be down syndrome".... I am so speechless... swt!!!
Well, today, had my 1st lesson on embryology... Mitosis and Meiosis as introduction
Gotta finish the whole development of fetus within 10 hours lecture... Kill me..
From fertilisation to 9months later in 10 hours.. can you imagine that?
You know la, how good my reproduction + mitosis and meiosis...
Then, the lecturer said la.. if woman aged 35 and above give birth, 1 out of 300 might DS la..
That's mean, I am one of the lucky 299... haha, thanks to mummy..
Yala, when lecturer said about that.. I was about to laugh out wei... so funny..
Actually, I doubt that I might have some DS le.. since I am so talkative + playful.. haha

Erh, my anatomy test and presentation are over..
But still have many more coming.. Physio and Biochem la..
Anatomy test, once in 3 weeks.. haihz..
I think I gotta study anatomy daily.. because Mr.Venu likes to pick on me and arvend..
At 1st, kinda scary but I think it is okay now.. because it is so funny when he kacau arvend..
Well, i think i did quite well for my presentation... although it might not be a well-prepared presentation
But at least, i didnt shiver or get nervous like last time..
Maybe because gain experience from SAM already.. Kinda steady... haha..
But still, my friend said that i spoke very fast... still have room for improvement..

Everything is okay lo.. just that my sleeping habits horh... erh..
I need a lot of sleep nowadays, at least 7 hours.. or else, I will fish in the class..
These few days, sleep for 5 hours.. feel like dying... not like last time..
Can stay up until very late... haihz, getting old ady lo...

Okay, will blog somore tomorrow..
Gotta shower now, and go out for dinner...
Wanna go BR today..
Then, need to prepare for tomorrow dissection...now, learning humerus..
Thursday is my another presentation (but marks are not counted la)..
So, can chill out...



A photo of mine with my presentation stuff lo.. thigh.. now, learning about upper limb.. but need to present lower limb.. self-study lo.. no more spoon-fed.. haihz

Overwhelming Boredom...

Haihz.. just like my title, I am bored to death..
Life is so boring here.. without u guys by my side..
24/7 library library library... and coffee day..
Only 3 weeks, or precisely 8 days of long hour class, 6 days of short hour class..
But I am about to die ... Nothing else to do at here..
Only study study study and study....
Maybe it is because, nobody accompany me..to talk, to crap..to gossip
Well, there are a few of them la.. we formed a India 8 x 8 = 64.. gossip lo
But the feelings are so different lo

Without Jolene, to tell me bedtime stories..
Without Huey, to brighten my day.. with her jokes and gelagat lucu..
Without Limmy and her movies..
Without Akak Yng to bully..
Without Hong and his ears listening to my stories..
Without Jack and his "lubang", nobody to argue with me..
Without Daddy and his piggy back...
Haihz, end of the story.. Boring lo..

Actually, I think the main reason is because everyone is so focus on study..
And you know la, future doctor.. mana ada like me so childish..
So talkative somore.. Maybe I should learn "THE POWER OF SILENCE"..
But tired la, sit in the library whole day without talking..
Suffering wei.. haihz...
Okay, tired ady lo... and still, very boring..

The IndianSss..

Erh, suddenly, realised that I have uploaded many photos in my blog..
Not much of words, mostly photos.. Trying to balance it la.. 50.50..
It is about 3 weeks since I been to India..Time really flies..
If I am not mistaken, I did mention that I like this place (India)..
Just like a kampung version of Malaysia and Inti..
They have everything here.. and everything is within walking distance..
Either 10min or 20min, is also considered as walking distance a..
Well, this post is mainly about the Indian ppl.. frankly speaking, I quite like them..
They are nicer and better compared to M'sian although they are poor..
For them, everyone is a good person, and they will treat you heart to heart..
Unlike M'sian, talam dua muka.. scary wei...

For eg, the Sonia aunty(breakfast).. she will never ask me to pay in advance whenever I order sandwich.
She says.."pay tomorrow"...
Eventhough the Indians are poor, but they will never cheat your money and sometimes, they are very generous..
They know that we are students, and they will give us discount rates.. feel bad... because they didnt earn much, yet still give us %%%
Erh, when we bought stuff/meals, we dont have small changes, for eg Rs1-Rs5, they will say nvm.. pay next time..
U think Malaysian will do so? 10sen also want to count...
Then, when my Chaurasia is coming out from the centre (tanggal la)... the bookstore ppl gave me a new book for free..although i highlighted some of it..
And many more la... in a word, they are kind..but we always have a bad thinking about them..
Just change our mindset lah.. they are really nice.. and they always smile... :)

Reebok in India.. (Took on Wed afternoon)

DHL (took it when I went to Natalie's house)
P/s : Thank you, Natalie for everything.. for your books, bones and advices.. Really appreciate it.

They are young yet helping their mum to earn a living.. and they really get a very low paid here.

Domino's pizza from far.. (They dont have KFC and McDs here)- Wed afternoon.. Just passed by.

Domino... Inner part (went on thursday night)



Bought 2 and get 1 free.. got promotion la..

Nah, pizzaSssss (vertically)

PizzaSs (Horizontally)
From left : Li Ning, Me, Paw, San Hoe, Shawn n Benny...
P/s : 1st time, went out with Shawn and Benny (my classmates la). Benny from Inti's SAM 2007
Many ppl queueing for it..

Pub beside Domino.. Should I go for it? erh, maybe not now..
Li Ning and Shawn.. take away.. erh, the pizzaSss are too dry.. pizza hut is better

Studying at the library lo.. my seat (window view).. look at the books.. study 1 part, need to refer to so many books.. the thickest is the Gray's Anatomy.. on top of it, is my new Chaurasia lo.
Dinner for Friday Night.. Hot Spot.. They have tandoori, and grill chicken.. Just like the name, it is HOT....

Then, we went to Nike/ Levis shop opposite to Hot Spot.. Shoess...
Spokeman for Crocs.. haha .. 40%
Promoting Adidas.. Zet(middle) seems to be very Pro..
Haha, Levi's is mine.. Same with my spec..
Clothes..50%.. abt MYR50 each la..
Expensive shoes.. wei..although after 50%... (7500 x 0.5 / 13 =??)

Just showing some India Nike Shoes.. manatau anyone interested..
Kinda nice... but the price lagi nice wei..
Reebok la.. (passed by on Wed, came on Fri)..
kasut lo.. I know la, you guys know what it is.. dont need me to describe..
San Hoe busy choosing.. what Ah Kiong and Zet doing leh??
Okay, I wanna sleep ady.. My "latest" night in India...
I guess next entry will be on Tuesday.. after my tests and presentation..
And my afternoon classes will resume as normal starting on Monday...
Erh, before I forget... Wanna wish Chye Ying Happy 19th Birthday...
And Happy Birthday, Dad... take good care of your health la..
Dont drink so much.. control la.. good la, if you didnt smoke somore..
You still have a long way to go, I still have 5 years baru graduate..
Happy 65th Birthday ya...

Changeling..

Erh, this is a movie by Angelina Jolie
Watched that with my sis last month at KLCC..
Why I use that as my post title leh?
Because I think I am changing lo... undergo a "changeling" process..
Well, this might be a lengthy post.. in mood of blogging..
I guess my dad(biological) [Eldwin is daddy] would be very happy reading my post..
Because the current Reena is not so Reject-ive towards medicine compared to 2 months ago..
Why made me say so? Because I did study for it.. not for the sake of anyone, but myself..
1st of all, I didnt want to waste money and I really didnt wish to be a so-called doctor..
Be a doctor but Not for the title, and I want to be the type of doctor that can bring happiness to others..
"Ini barulah macam saya".. I always hope that the people around me are happy..
This is my main reason for being happy and optimistic most of the time..
Because I knew that an individual's emotion can affect the people around them..

Well, proceed to the part of changes..
Erh, as I have mentioned in my previous post,
I changed my unhealthy lifestyle, eating habits and sleeping habits..
3 meals a day, sometime even more.. 4 meals.. including BR ice cream as dessert.. and a greater proportion of rice.. haha
Sleeping a, minimum 6 hours lo.. maximum 8 hours, range from 10pm to 6.50am
Yes, you are right, you are not reading the time wrongly..
I wake up at 6.50 am every morning although my class starts at 8am..
Start walking with breakfast (sandwich) on my hand at 7.30am
Reach class about 7.45am.. Cant afford to be late now.. or else, attendance will not be counted.
Mana macam last time, 8am class, 7.45am only wake up.. then, rush to class..

Then, I started to climb the stairs although we have lift here.. and went to jog once in a while..
So far only once la.. jogging.. Imagine that I am climbing with heels..
Last time,even I was wearing slippers/sneakers, I was too lazy to climb.. big difference wei..
My India's room is much more cleaner, neat and tidy compared to Inti's room..
Photos will be uploaded soon.. after my test and presentation..
Because I have lesser stuff in my room, and I spent most of my time in the library..
No more flood relief centre, dont have any extra food/sweet for you to gamble (Carly and Jo)..haha

Erh, what else a.. I went to library most of the time, they dont have common room here..
Just have discussion room at the library lo..
The best part of the library is the seat is separated, so can sit individually..
Wont be unable to start any conversation..
Normally, you wont be able to spot me in the library.. Hehe.. you know why???
I am hiding at the corner .. hibernating...haha.. this part of me didnt change at all.. haha
Library is still the best place to zzzzz... + FOC air-cond..
But after sleep, study again.. Now, I am regular of the library.. because afternoon classes are cancelled..
Next week onwards, only can go to the library after 5pm classes..
Library closed at 11.30pm, but my 1st month curfew time is 9.30pm.
Plan to extend my curfew time by getting permission from chief warden.. troublesome procedure la..
But what to do, I must study in the library.. cant study in the room..
Main distraction : INTERNET and YOU GUYS... cant stop myself from chatting with you all..
Not your problem la, is my own problem.. haha.. I am not blaming anyone but myself..
Btw, I did something bad today.. I broke my curfew time.. Came back at 10.45pm (went to library la)
Nowadays, because of Ustav, the guard didnt really check and I guess they didnt really know all of us.. or they are being kind because of the festival.
So, dengan selambanya, I just came in lo.. haha.. but I know it doesnt work everytime..
Jadi, it is still better to get permission from Chieft Warden lo..

Erh, honestly, I think that SAM is much more tougher than Medicine le..
At least, Medicine is something understand-able if you spend time reading it over and over..
But SAM, it is not only something that you cant understand completely although you have been reading hundred times..
It is also requires your time.. hardwork.. and good time management... and of course, intelligence la..
Or maybe I managed my India time better compared to Inti time..haha..
Or maybe, this is only the beginning stage... (Higher possibility)
Next week is the starting of the HELL-life.. human-cadaver transforming process.. haha
Packed with presentation and test.. hopefully, I can handle it la, with the experience gained from SAM..
Just felt that the current life is boring la.. because less entertainment.. really can save up some $$.. the only entertainment is makan and telan anatomy...
Seriously, studying/ classes 80% of the time..
And the saved $$ is channelled into coffee + snacks expenses.. you need to be consistently drinking coffee to stay awake.. or chew something in your mouth.. haha

Okay, will blog more tomorrow.. Kinda late now.. about 12.30am..
Still have abit more to study before sleeping..
Hehe, tomorrow only have 2 hours of class.. anatomy dissection.. yeah..
And it is really scary because I only study for anatomy most of the time..
Neglect physio and biochem le.. but seniors said it is normal..
haha..I guess I am not the only 1... everyone is the same..
Erh, at least, I am studying because I want to .. not because I am forced to..
I guess my dad should be glad about it.. ahahhhahaha
But I am still doubt whether I can be a good doctor or not la..
Because being a good doctor, it requires more than just academically..
But I will try to lo.. develop more good qualities..
India should be a good place for transforming, either into cadaver or doctor..
If successful, then doctor lo.. If not, cadaver lo.. haha
Goodnight

Luckily, the presentation didnt clash.. or else, i will slash myself to death.. haha
Okay, today after my biochem PBL, we went to Udupi..for lunch
Sai Praviar Restaurant, at the hotel le... kinda classy + EXPENSIVE...
Seniors' recommendation... but in my opinion, so so la...

Nah, here is the "Manager" of the restaurant (aka waiter)... seemed to be high class huh
My Lamb...Pepper Fry... and Lime Soda... not bad la.. but my wallet is bleeding.. I wont go there for 2nd time.. trust me..

Okay, while I was walking around to find for kettle, here are some of the pictures showing Udupi..

Then, i went to library and hibernate.. Get myself window view..
With the heavy rain, I was sleeping soundily in the library.. so nice.. miss Inti time..

View from the window.. + reflection of me

The sun after raining.. 5+pm..

My Actual Age...

Erh, today, woke up quite early and I still have an extra 10min to on9
Because normally, will walk to class with Li Ning at 7.30am
Then, I thought of doing the facebook "The True Age Test"..
Because Ken Loon always say that I am a small kid..
Well, he is not the first person to say so..
First Question, is my biological age --->19 years old ( 18++)
After 10mins, my actual age turns out to be 13 years old..
Should I be glad or upset about it?... somehow, I am actually happy..
I guess Choo Ken Loon will be laughing when he reads until here.. haihz

There is another evidence that proved, I didnt change/grow since secondary school
Among the Jpa, there is an Indian guy from Tenang.. and I think he is familiar but I couldnt remember la..
Then, he could recognise me.. since we went to St.John camp together when I was in F2..
I should post a picture of mine.. F2 picture..but I am not sure whether I have it or not..
Anyone want to contribute? Especially Jolene Ng, I guess you should have it..

Well, plan to keep today's post short.. that's all la...
But I guess I do look like a secondary student more than a medical student..
With my CHILDISH + KIDDISH face, would dare to come forward and receive treatment from me??
Better think twice ya...
This picture is especially for Jia Huey.. Paw in formal with the tie and cloth that you bought.. haha
My 1st Dinner Mess.. + 1st Meal in India with Fish..
