ding dong ding dong......

*jingle bells* *jingle bells*

christmas is here again!!!!

but these few days, i often forget about that...

too bad i can't go back home to celebrate this year's christmas.. :(

last year's christmas, i was at penang; this year, in kelantan.... haiz

though there's a chance of going home this year ( nmany of them went back already), but maybe it was God's plan for me to stay here.. haha

nevermind, i already have a list of things lined up on my to do list... >< *wink*

24th morning- going to church for usual church service.. afternoon we're having practise for christmas carolling and then in the evening, we're going for a christmas dinner at kelantan trade centre (wow!! kelantan has a trade centre... haha)

and the next day would be christmas!!!

in the morning we would be carolling, while in the evening, we're going to Dr. Tee's house for BBq!! i didn't like bbq before, but since i didn;t have anything to do anyway, so, just folliw them :)

my so-called christmas break actually started this monday, after the afternoon session of sgd(small group discussion)... last 2 days went by swiftly, i wasn't aware of what i was doing either, sleeping, eating, studying?? maybe not... haha

yesterday night was fantastic.. xiangling actually came out with an idea of making tang yuen with all of us who aren't going back during this short break.. unlike the usual tanh yuen, ours was white in colour.... and we put chocolate inside, however gradually, our tang yuens started to change from small round riceballs, into all sorts of shape.. we have star, erythrocytes, and the dental students even started making tang yuen in the shape of a tooth.. *interesting* too bad my hands weren't available to take any pictures...

by the time we finished using all the flour we bought, we realised that there were too many tang yuens... *greedy* everybody wants the chocolate tang yuen, poor 'kosong' tang yuen was negleted... :(

thank god, we finally managed to finish most of the tang yuens, with only one small container left...

well, this was quite a fun experience... at least it was better than my experience in kmpp.. that time the tang yuen wasn't enough.. but this time we had overabundance of tangyuen.. heehee *happy*

christmas eve tommorow... *silent night, holy night..*

well, my night would be 'silent' if my room mates are not back yet.... haiz.. my days of having this room all to myself would end soon... after this, it's likely that i will camp inside the library (if i could) one would always be on the phone day and night, the other would have friends coming to visit.... :(

kinda hungry now... want to cari makan lo.. bye :)

btw, MERRY CHRISTMAS and God Bless You All.. XD

'emo' or not...

1 week has already passed, in a blink of an eye, in a snap of fingers.. '' what else, what else??'' haha

tomorow, i'm going back to kelantan again... preparing for the whole new routine again-- morning: wake up, bathe, grab 2 packets of Lexus biscuits, sling on my bag, put on my shoes and then head to lecture hall, which is quite a long way from my hostel, and third floor of the building... by the time i reach the lecture hall and walked to my usual favourite spot which is the fifth row, i'm nearly breathless... huff huff huff!!!!


lecture starts at 8.30am, sometimes 10.30am.. after lecture, normally not later than 1pm, i'll go for lunch, normally at murni... afternoon usually we have demo and discussion or practicals, maybe they realise that if they have lectures in the afternoon, most of us would be 'fishing' then..


the rest of the day would be notes and me and sometimes-- junk food!!! haha...


well, if medicine is your choice of course, that's how your life is... it's hard in the begining... but once you get use to it, it won't be too difficult la... study only ma, most important is that you enjoy the process.. :)


going back to kelantan tommorow... haiz what i'm afraid to face is that room of my, i wonder how the spiders are doing in there... hopefully i don't have too much webs to clean tommorow... haiz :( i really don't like those spiders ...


this year, again, i'm celebrating christmas faraway from home... last year was in penang, this year in kelantan... i had my share of the turkey already, i got the giant drumstick too... satisfied!! :)


will be spending most of my time in KLIA-LCCT tomorrow... because airasia's flight from JB to Kl was rescheduled to 8.25am.. it was actually 12pm, so, i'm going to spend a lot of time in KL... airport. haha nevertheless, i'm already prepared for the 'wait'.. 'wink'


that's all for this time... goodbye JB, will come back soon for CNY!!! woohoo!! Merry Christmas and God Bless ><

break free!!!

WoOHoO!!! after such a long stay at kelantan, i'm back again to this place i call home... gladly, i'm OUTTA kelantan!!!! i was so excited for the past whole week, waiting for the moment to go to the airport, ''just get me to the airport!!!'' haha....

coming to think of it, it's a really long time since the last i came back. :( but it's not that kelantan was not good, but it's just not where i could stay for long.... the hostel was just lagging some things for 'suvival' and it's scary enough to be living with those notorious 'CHarlies'.. I was lucky that i got away from them the last whole year in KMPP, but just a few days ago, i was 'attacked'... thank god it was on my arm, and i was fast enough to realise it, that i jumped down from the bed and just simply sapu some aquous cream.... and it works!!! otherwise if i could not get rid of that stinging, burning pain being transmitted by the Adelta fibres, i would not be able to sleep!!!

nevermind, now that i'm back, i'm going to have a few nights of peaceful sleep, before i got back there to face these annoying insects again.. haha :)

this is the only holiday i can enjoy myself... the only one after Selanjar 2....haiz i've decided to put studies matters aside for the time being, and enjoy myself to the fullest!! today, i went to City Square with mum and sis :) so long didn't go shopping already, i'm so happy!!! and being able to eat jb food and home cook food again, i'm really glad and grateful :)

2 and half months in kelantan, i've gone through many activities, and i had fun doing them...


this is me and corinne, we went down into the sea while we went for CF camp, after selanjar 1...



me, together with the Young sisters, carmen and corinne, and siew teng jiejie that night right after selanjar 1, we went to mydin and bought lots of food


this one was before selnjar 1, where we joined a health run in campus... it's my first time getting a medal for running... it might be able to replace the medal i couldn't get for penang bridge run this year, as i couldn't attend on that day...



and this was Borneo night, organised by the student from east malaysia.... that monkey was made from coconut shell skin, so creative :)



our mooncake event, wholly organised by first years... i remebered being so exhausted after this event, being one of the deco team, haiz... i don't think i will ever want to see any cardboards, scissors or stuffs like this....

now, we're preparin for the coming events... christmas night and chinese new year night.. at least there's some other things to look forward to other than study, eat, library, laundry, lecture, buy notes... haiz..

this time, i really want to enjoy my holidays... and i'm really enjoying now!! haha..

klah, maybe in a few days time, you'll be seeing my next sad post-- i'm going back to kelantan again... haha

COmmunity Service 13/11/2010

Remember about the community service i'd said that the 1st year medical students had to carry out as part of our curriculum???

At last, our group, group11 has completed ours last saturday... we were probably one of the last groups i think.

and here is the school we'd decided to come--Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Kota Kota Bahru.. and this program we planned is to cater for the special children there.. they have a few classes for children who are physically fit, but a little bit slow in learning...

i didn't expect this activity would be fun... even though i'd always thought of going to places like this... but i'm just kind of disappointed that all the decisions and planning were made by the comittee members, and not all members were invoved.. and all i need to do was to 'appear' during that day, and do what i'm asked to do... nevertheless now, i'm just glad that the activity turned out to be fun and memorable... :)

our purpose of going there is just to:

1. carry out some games for the children

2. it's part of our curriculum.. (haha)

3. just because we 'WANT' to help people (lor)... (remember, that was our answer during the interview to the question : why do you want to become a doctor?)

anyway, the main thing is as long as we are HAPPY, they are HAPPY too... that's all that matters

this was the third game we played: finding sweets in the flour... my group ( shin Chan) managed to find all the sweets hidden within the flour... ( they are not allowed to use their hands to take out the sweets, so they have to use their mouth instead,... and their faces were all covered with flour... poor thing.. whoever planned this game???!! )

this was creatively done by.... US grown up children!! wee.. !!!

this was the last game we had : filling in water with sponge and transfer it into a bottle..

the facilitators helps the children throughout the games.. :)

the shin chan members... :) yay!!! they are quite smart also... you know why??

because... they won 2 hampers!!!! in two games!! yayyay!!

and finally this..!! hand printing... all of our handprints are on this paper... the children were so excited when they inked their handprints there :)

and that was our activity-- from 8.30am to 12.30pm.. quite a short one, but we all had fun doing it....

the story below is of a girl wo couldn't keep her hands still... and that's 'You- Know- Who' haha

we gave each child a balloon dog as a memento, together with some stationeries and jelly...

since got extra dogs, i took one...

it has a big weird tail... so i decided to modify it...

for that whole afternoon it looked like this.....

still finding it weird, i twisted it again... and then... it became...

like that!!!! haha.. it didn't burst,i just wanted to add in more air, but somehow, i didn't have enough... so, it became like this!!! hahaha

know why am i so free today?? because it's a holiday!!! HAri raya haji.... kelantan has 2 days off.. wee!! but somehow the management didn't realise that it's a holiday as Facebook is still block as usual from 8am to 5pm... haiz.. whyla!!!

2 more weeks.. then i'll have my holiday!! :) that means, 1 more week to selanjar 2... STUDY STUDY STuDY!!!! many of us seemed to overlook selanjar, and are planning what to do during that mere 1 week break.... me too!!! my plan is to EAT!!!!! hahaha.... everyday in kelantan is like starving... not because there's noting to eat, but maybe i just missed the food at home... 24 hours hungry, always hungry!! nothing seems tobe able to fill up my stomach.. haiz

so envious of them who went back duing this 4 days haji break... too bad, i have o stay here, going back is not cheap ok???

kla, will have to stop here... need to finish my lunch and continue studying.... (while my room mate is not around...)haha..

2 more weeks!!! weeeee!!!! XD

beach again...

when i first came to kelantan, i thought that life would be boring, quiet, and slow in the 'kampung' style setting.... what some of us described it as an ''ulu'' place.. actually, it is not so 'ulu' here la...

on top of that, i didn't expect it to have so many nice beaches around!!!!

on my second visit to kelantan, which was a day before i had to enroll myself into USMKK, my aunt's friend, Auntie Yen brought us to one of the beaches, called the pantai seri tujuh... then, that time i went for CF camp, it was another beach at Pantai Melawi, if i'm not mistaken... and then this time, there's this MSFT (medical student's facilitator team) camp, we went to another beach!!!! that makes my third beach in KElantan!!!!! hahaha....

however, initially i thought that this camp would be quite boring, as there were only 2 chinese joining-- me and siew teng jiejie (our distant relative).. and also, i thought that i couldn't go to church at first, but thank god we depart at around 3pm in the evening, which means i could go to church in the morning... and when i knew that we were coming back around 2.30pm the next day, i was so glad and relieved that this is going to be a SHORT camp!!!!! Halellujah!!!!



the first agenda on the list after checking in was the malay's prayer time... so, the two of us had some time off!!! wheee!!! and we had some photo session on the beach..

at first, we were so woried that we might be left out, as we were the only chinese there... but the seniors we actually quite friendly which makes us feel comfortable with them... it started out to be quite awkward at first, but soon we managed to mix well.. perhaps after the short but fun ice-breaking session :)

at night, after dinner, we are free again!!! the both of us only la... and as what i'll always do, this time i brought my notes along too :) for 2 hours, at least i managed to do a little bit of studying :) for the first time in a camp like this, i can study... woo hhoooo!!!

after that was ceramah.... and then the most exciting part of the camp-- Kembara Malam...
where we had station games in the dark, and under the rain too!!!! it was raining quite heavily at that time...

the activity was expected to end at 12am, but it's normal for activities to start late and end late.... i'm starting to get use to it now...

so, it ended at around 1am... and since 7 people shared a room... it means 7 people will be sharing a toilet... i was the last to bathe.. and guess what?? by the time i finished bathing... it was already 3.30am!!!!! wow!!! luckily i don't have to wake up so early tommorow morning...heehee :)

everything was nice about the camp, except that the next day, there was no water supply to our dorms!!! thank god we all managed to bathe last night.. XD

after the rest of the activity-- another talk, and role play and some public speaking... we went to the beach again!!! it's so nice to be able to feel the sea water again!!! and walking on the sand... :)
and also taking pictures hahahha:)





yay!! but asking us to wear sportshoes on the beach is 1 big mistake... i had to wash my shoes the moment i came back to the hostel... :(

kla, that's all about this camp...
counting down-- 4 more weeks to holiday :)
but 3 more weeks to selanjar 2!!!!!

gambateh!!!! back to studies lor...
