this was me since october 2009 up till june 2011.
pathetic.
i know.

this is me since june 2011.

commonly heard nowadays: " oi wani, why u smiling sorang-sorang? "

no matter what others think,
i've oweys thought avril is awesomeeeeeee.

bluek.

and now she again proves her awesomess.
LOVE this song's chorus!

SMILE by Avril Lavigne

" and that's why I smile,
It's been a while
since everyday and everything has felt this right,
and now you turn it all around,
and suddenly you're all I need,
The reason why I smile."

sigh.
i have this uneasy feeling when things are going great.

but then,

i think it's about time i allow myself
to be HAPPY again.

after all this time..

. bimbo .

2011-05-31T18:28:00.002+08:00

definition of a bimbo:

from Oxford dictionary --> an attractive but unintelligent or frivolous young woman.

from Dictionary.com --> an attractive but empty-headed young woman.

CASE SCENARIO: (based on a true story)

Day : Saturday

W was bored, so she texted L.

W : hoi, anyone booking u yet today or not? jom kuar, i wanna go watch movieeeeee!!!

L : not yet . yeay!!

W : yippee!! i wanna watch 'INSIDIOUS' coz my friend says it's a thriller worth watching. pastu boley gi karokkkk!

L : okay.

Place : shopping complex in KL.

Time : after pigging out at TGI Friday's and after singing our lungs out and after 2 rounds of Daytona racing and after 2 rounds of basketball dunking at the arcade.

W : eh, dah 6:45, jom gi nengok movie.

L : jommmm. adoi kaki aku cramp pulak main basketball.
(helloooooo, we weren't even playing real basketball! it was just a moving net and we were just aimlessly throwing the balls into the hoop. see, my sister is so smangat till she got leg cramps. hahahaha)

Seated comfortably in the cinema.

W : ish cepat la startttt. (excited coz dah lama tak tengok movie)

L : betol ke cite ni best weh?

W : tah. member aku yang cakap. tengok je la. ok ok intro dah start. uuuuuuuuuu 'suspen' nyeeee lagu intro die.

L : haha bodoh.

eerie (but actually kinda irritating) intro song plays for soooooooooo long.

a scary nenek's face comes into focus on the screen.

L : weh jap....jap! weh aku dah tengok la movie nihhhhhh!

W : woiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! bongok la kau niiii!! why tak bagitau awal-awal! kau ni memang dah nyanyok ke? just now kan i showed u the iklan for this movie, didn't u recognise the boy's face on the posterrrr???? URGHHHHHHHHH

L : tak prasan la! the boy isn't even in that many scenes! aku tengok muka nenek tu baru aku teringat la. (continues laughing to herself)

W : urghhhh. yelatu. bongokkk bukan nak cakap! takpela ko tido je la, biar aku yang tengok! (continue to be bengang) anyway, best tak cite ni?

L : best, best.

irritating intro song ends.

1st scene comes up, focusing on a woman's sleeping face)

W ( thinks to herself ) : wow, her face is so full of freckles and yet it's attractive to look at.

camera zooms out slowly , snoring sounds are heard.

W (thinks to herself) : hey, wait a minute. why do i feel like i'm having dejavu???? dammittttttt, it can't be!!

woman wakes up and walks down the stairs.

W : weh L, fuck laaa aku pon dah tengok cite ni la! ko tengok eh, jap lagi anak kecik die masok, 2-2 pakai baju sama,

L : hah?

W : btol laaa. ko tengok je la jap lagi. f*ck laaaaaa f*ck !!!!!!!!!!

woman sits on the floor of her new home and flips through albums.

her son walks in and they are wearing the same exact pyjamas with monkeys and bananas!

L : huh! damnnnnnnnnnn btol la weh! camne ko boley ingat part pyjamas same ni pulak???

W : i dont knowwwwwwwww!!!! arghhhh tensionnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

( both bimbos start laughing uncontrollably like crazy people, while taking huge gulps of air trying desperately not to burst out laughing in a cinema full of people watching a horror movie )

L laughs while sinking lower and lower into her seat.

W laughs till tears start running down her cheeks.

W : Weh bodo laaa! now what???

L : mane aku tau. hahahahaha. tu la, panggil aku NYANYOK lagi!

W : bile plak aku tengok movie ni ngan ko dowh?

L : ade la, kat umah aritu kan kite balik cuti. pirated DVD tuuuuu

W : f*ck weh, aku dah smangat gile nak tengok movieeee!!! urghhhhh!! tension gile, jom ah blah.

L : are u serious? membazir dowh duit kau. 26 ringgit tuuuuu

W : then? takkan nak tengok lagi skaliiiiiii!!! uwaaaaaa, duit akuuuu, baik aku gune untuk nyanyi lagi 26 lagu mase karok tadiiii!!

L : hahahahaha

W : jom la, let's go! urghhhhhhhh!

both L and W get up and get out of the hall.

ticket collector outside : eh? kenape ni?

L and W : tak jadi tengok!

ticket collector literally burst out laughing : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

( he must have probably thought that we chickened out coz we were pengecut!
so NOT okayyy! )

so i went back,
disappointed,
and with another unforgettable bimbotic experience.

oh well, i guess everyone has their own bimbotic moments once in a while, ey.
;)

tadi, i simply surfed you tube and searched for 'STF band'

daym, i mish my days of being a STF bandgirl.. ='(

_______BEST________

male friend : mubin.
female friend:
gunavathy. azah. deqlynn.
vacation:
paris, france - i got to eat a particular ice-cream named frubetto (heh)
sabah - awesome beaches, scuba-diving and cute diving instructors
age:
aiseyh, such a tough question. hmm.. guess the best days of my life were during the all-girls boarding-school days. STF days were the most awesome. definitely.
i met the coolest batch of people.
i did the coolest things that i never even dreamed of doing
(which reminds me of a tale of how i actually got to be a bandgirl!! it was actually on one fine day, it was a saturday and it was supposed to be a day for aktiviti kokorikulum. me and my friend were in form 1 and in PBSM at that time, and we decided not to go. so we stayed in our dorms, when suddenly we heard the wardens beginning to do spotchecks. so we ran to the toilet on our floor and planned what to do next. just then we saw a girl exiting one of the shower stalls, and told her the wardens were looking for people who were ponteng-ing. then she simply said, "owh i'm a bandgirl. today got no practise." after that, when the warden asked me and my friend, we just said we were bandgirls. so that was actually how i became a bandgirl. damn, i'm so thankful that one particular incident happened! otherwise i would have missed out on being such an awesome and important part of the school.)
crap. i'm so missing those days....!!

memory:

too many to choose from la! to name a few :
--> once in london, i think i was maybe 8 or 9 years old. i was at school and it was recess time. i was wandering around the mobile classrooms. suddenly, i actually saw this one small boy (he was really small, maybe 6 or 7years) being bullied and kicked around by 3 other boys. he was so small, i felt like crying. i dunno how or why ( i guess i felt i was bigger than them) but i went up to the small boy and picked him up and told the rest to buzz off or i'd call Miss Phillips the class teacher. i guess they were surprised to see a foreigner telling them to buzz off so they went away. nway i dont actually remember how the boy looked like. all i remember is, after that, i would go everyday to his classroom and read storybooks to him, for a week i think.

--> in london also, i loved it whenever it was anyone's birthday. the birthday boy/girl would bring a box of sweets (usually a box of yummy Quality Street/ Roses - OMG, i even remember that!) and pass it around to everyone in the classroom, after that he/she would go around to each classroom and ask the class teachers to pick their favourite sweet. that was fun!

--> also in london, but not a very fond one. i had a friend named simranjeet singh. he had a twin sister (whom my lil brother had a crush on. so cute. haha). anyway, they were really nice kids. but one day i went to school and everyone was sad. then our class teacher, Miss Mersh, told us that the twins had died tragically after their dad got in a car with them and blew the car up, seems the parents were having some issues. damn.
** okay, i think i should stop answering this question, coz i might go on and on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnn................

______WORST________
Time of day:
when i'm snuggled in my spongebob comforter and surrounded by many pillows, and "FASHION" by lady gaga interrupts my sleep at 6:15 am everyday...ARGHHHH!!
Day of the week:

ockay.

enuff la tu.

lay-ta!

.despair.

2011-01-01T00:47:00.002+08:00

it's a new year.
again.

i just realised that i had an entry about 'new year' just 2 posts before this one.

also, i only had 3 posts for the whole of 2010.

that must mean either:

a) i was too busy

b) i was too lazy

c) my life got so boring that i didnt have anything to ramble about

statement (a)
probably true during my last 2 postings which were quite hectic.
yep, that's why i had the time to blog during surgical posting coz it was so chillaxing. (woops)

statement (b)
partly true.
since the only things i bothered to do when i wasn't working was
either go see my sister or sleep.
hmm..
no wonder, i've gotten so many comments from people (fellow housemen and specialists) regarding my voicemail message "Aku tengah tido atau aku tengah keje. Please leave a message."

( once, my specialist called me and i was taking my postcall shower at the time, later he suggested "Hey, why not change your voicemail to AKU TENGAH TIDO ATAU MANDI ATAU KERJA ?")
woops.

statement (c) :
partly true too.
seems like i have become a zombie with a fixed daily routine for the past 1 year.
sure, there have been some 'magical moments' worth blogging about, but then i guess i have evolved into a lazybum who only thinks about getting as much as sleep as she can instead of blogging nowadays.
actually, come to think of it, i do have some pretty bloggable experiences,
but yep, i'm just too lazy to type them out.
maybe next time.

anyway, i just scrolled to my previous new year's entry.

and as usual, my new year resolutions have soooo not been achieved.

i only made 3 resolutions in my previous entry.
but only 1 was truly accomplished, i think.

so this year i won't bother to make any.

except the one that i answered when they asked me during my recent viva la.

" to become a more competent houseman, and complete my housemanship successfully, sir!"

yep.

1 more long year to go.

hope all will be ay-okay.

anyway, overall 2010 wasn't such a good year for me.

lots of depressing and sad moments.

am glad to see it go...

till then.

later.

. misery .

2010-09-02T10:26:00.001+08:00

" The stars lean down to kiss you

And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.

Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'd send a postcard to you, dear.

Cause I wish you were here.

I'll watch the night turn light blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly.

The silence isn't so bad

Till I look at my hands and feel sad

Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days

Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist deep in thought because when

I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

(Tonight, tonight, tonight...)

I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh if my voice could reach back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear:

"Oh darling I wish you were here"

..
..
..

..
..
..
for some reason, lyfe sux rite now.
for some reason, i am a miserable creature, despite cover-ups with silly jokes and fake laughter.
for some reason, i have so much to let out here.
for some reason, i am at a loss of words at this moment.
for some reason, i can't get the above song out of my head.
for some reason, i can't seem to let anyone in.
for some reason, i go through day-to-day life like a zombie.
.
.
for some reason,
i still can't let go.....

2010-04-22T11:16:00.002+08:00

nearly 4 months olredi since my last entry!

if this were a real diary,
that's what the pages would be,

dusty.

so currently i'm working at a hosp
which seems as if though it was plopped down right in the middle of the highway.

thank god for kewujudan broadband.

or not, i would probably have just given up blog-writing.

nways
just as i think i'm sarting to get the hang of things at work,
it's nearly time to change to a new posting again!
i dont wanna leave surgery, coz it TOTALLY ROCKS here!!

( but then, it doesnt mean that i wanna get extended, just so that i can stay longer in surgery...heh)

after this, i dont think there are any more postings that i'm gonna look forward to.
but then life must go on!
slavemanship... oops... housemanship must be completed!
;)

like i said, surgery here is the coolest posting ever.
the specialists are cool,
the M.O's rock!

but then sadly, the same cant be said about all the H.O's
there have been many issues arising, which i dont think should actually be happening!
and from all these happenings, i discovered something.
ppl can be so damn selfish and hypocritic...

nways,
i'm of course not gonna elaborate on this,
to avoid bad-mouthing anyone la kan.

but then...
even though this someone i had known throughout college,
and considered as a friend,
was actually the one who was the most selfish,
i just have this to say..

" see, i dont need ur OT calls la wey...
ko tanak sedekah pon, i still managed to get
my appendicectomies (assissted/performed) page filled up, okay.
so there."

and that too, thanks to some colleagues who i only just got to know, for what, a few months je?
gosh...

okla.

cukop la tuh.

myvi aku pon dh siap servis nih.
so nak balik umah.

gotta start studying for my exit viva~!!!!!!!!!!

till the next time then

tataaaaaa

new.

2010-01-01T19:06:00.001+08:00

it's 2010!

and i'm starting the new year
with a new job,
and new surroundings,
and new life,
meeting new patients/nurses/specialists/doctors.

though it's scary,
(coz i feel as if i don't remember anything
i studied in med school just a few months back)
but,
i must say,
part of me is actually looking forward to this new challenge in life.

i never really made it a point
to make new resolutions whenever a new year comes up.
coz i know myself too well,
and know that i probably wouldnt have
set about achieving the resolutions.

but this year,
i feel like making resolutions.

1- i think it's about time that i stop waking up in the morning and thinking:
" oh crap! why do i hav to go to the hospital??
whywhywhy did i ever choose this profession??"
instead.. it's time to be thinking:
" yes, i'm a houseman now,
the slave at the bottom of the food chain all over again!
but, enough of self-pity and complaining,
suck it up and say BRING IT ON!!"

2- it' time to change my ways of dressing too.
hahaha.
from now on, only really really formal clothes to the hospital,
to avoid scenarios like this:

i was having nite posting
at mlake hospital,
and being me,
i wore my comfortable green sneakers to the ward.
( i so do not see the point in wearing heels when ur job is to stand around for literally the whole day! )

so i went to a makcik's bed
and started flipping through her file
while making small talk with her.
after establishing a rapport with her,
i started to examine her.
she kept looking at my feet,
and smiling to herself.
i just smiled back at her,
knowing that the topic of my shoes would certainly come into our conversation soon.
as if reading my mind,
she said "dokter, meriah la kasot dokter! hehehe"
i just laughed and said "ala makcik, kasot ni selesa, makcik. sebab tu saya pakai. lagipon skarang ni malam makcik. hehehe"

and also another time,
i was attending to a young guy.
and he suddenly asked me: "eh, korang ni dulu blaja kat overseas ke?"

i said : "a'ah la. nape eh?"
then he said "blaja kat mane?"
i said: "india. nape eh?"
then he started laughing,
and said: "oooo.. patot le... aku tengok ko ni pakai seluar kaler pink. kawan ko kat situ pulak pakai seluar warna ungu! "
(sigh.. i just dunno why colourful clothing is such a big deal..)

3- another thing i am gonna try to do is
actually use the name that was given to me,
instead of using FRUBETTO or FRU.
i just have gotten so used to people
calling me "weh, FRU" that
sometimes i don't even repond when people call me "wani".

so no more wearing nametags like this to the hospital:

well.

since resolutions are a new thing for me,

i guess 3 is enuff.

let's hope i actually do sumthing to achieve them!

and to all my friends,

OLDIBESH in our quest of becoming the slaves of the hospital!!

we can do this la, people!

( i hope i can!)

lastly,

may this year be more prodcutive and fruitful than the last.

bubbye dearest blog..

(seeing as to my extreme busy-ness after this,

i do not know when i will be able to post anything after this!)

;)

precious.

2009-11-24T09:29:00.005+08:00

so..
instead of wasting my time,
sitting and moping around,
while repeatedly listening to
'BREAKEVEN' by the script, or
'ALREADY GONE' by kelly clarkson,
and layan-ing my depressed soul,
.............
i actually
(with help of some very good buddies, god bless them)
managed to haul my ass off to a 1-week vacation in SABAH.
(yep..after 19 years of living in malaysia, i finally set foot on the non-semenanjung part..!)

and i must say,
it did me a lot of good!
just the perfect remedy,
exactly what i needed to take my mind off stuff.
(thanx to GUNA and her sis, for planning and arranging everything, although it was kind of a last minute decision.. hehe.. but hey, evrything worked out just fine and we had an awesome time and that's what matters.)

anyways,
i certainly won't bore u with all the minute details of our time there.
but certain happenings i just wanna jot down here,
for the sake of having a good laugh while reminiscing my past history, later on in life.

- we went to a place called PORING, which consists of:
+ various pools. (which you have to fill up by yourself and actually wait for the water to fill up the pool... it's kinda like taking a bath in my grandma's "kolah air" kat kampung dulu...huhu)

+ hot water springs, which unfortunately were closed on the day we went.
+ a waterfall, with icy cold waterrrrrrrr....brrrrrr..
+ a picnic spot.
+ a canopy walkway.
i must say, the canopy walkway was the most eventful.
huhu.
firstly, we thought we were being so smart
when we decided to keep all our valuable stuff
(including our wallets) in the car.
and so we were confidently marching towards the waterfall,
and we passed the canopy walk counter on the way,
and someone pointed out that we had to actually buy tickets to enter.
everyone was so excited to reach the waterfall,
so we merely shrugged it off and
decided to deal with it later.
after freezing our butts off at the waterfall,
we approached the counter for the canopy walk.
i was busy chatting with an old school friend, ajai.
(whom i stumbled upon here, of all places!!)
so the rest went to take care of the tickets.
then i heard some commotion at the ticket counter,
which went sumthing like this.

"alamak pakcik,
kitorang tak bawak wallet la...

tertinggal dalam kereta.
tapi kitorang ade sket la duit.
ni ha ade 12 ringgit je,
tak cukup 3 ringgit la pakcik.
tolong la pakcik..
kitorang datang dari jauh ni.."

since things were getting interesting,
i hurriedly said bubbye to ajai
and joined the others.
so in the end,
we actually succeded in getting the tickets!!
hehe.
i guess their puppy faces worked la.
coz the pakcik finally agreed to let us
purchase 3 adult tickets and
2 children tickets.
hehe. gud work, gurls!!

then came the ticket collector at the entry site.

crap!

we were praying so hard

that he wouldn't check the tickets one by one and make a big fuss.

and again, luck was on our side.
so we happily trudged on through the canopy walkway.

while illegally snapping photos with full of caution.
(as i mentioned, we didn't even have money to pay for the tickets,

so how on earth were we gonna pay for the extra charge they had set for cameras???)

nway,
we arrived at the end of the walkway,
and again there was a guy there.
dammit!
he immediately asked for our tickets.
crapcrapcrap!!
i just knew rite then,
he must have caught us in the act while we
were too busy trying out various poses on the walkway!!
and i was rite.
he checked our tickets one by one,
and suddenly whipped out a booklet
(which reminded me of a policeman about to give us a saman):

"kamu ada bayar tak untuk camera tadi?"
".....(a moment of awkward silence)....."

"pakcik, maaf la, kitorang tak bawak duit!! tengok tu tiket tu, sebab tu kitorang terpaksa beli tiket kanak-kanak.."

the pakcik started smiling,
and replaced the 'saman' book in his pocket,
and said sumthing about letting us off this time blablablabla.
thank god he didn't decide to delete the photos we took!
OMG!!!
again we were lucky.
so malu-fying, though!
never have i ever had the experience of
begging for tickets on vacations before this!!
hahaha...gud and fun experience though.

------------

gosh.
we then realised sumthing.
it just seems that things are oweys happening here,
which repeatedly prove that
the people of sabah are really very nice!

------------

- another thing that got us all excited,
was of course island-hopping
and SNORKELLING!!!!

initially, after listening to the stories of our friends,
who we bumped into at the airport.
(each one of 'em looking well-tanned, and one even looked like a roasted lobster! hehehe)
we couldn't understand how they could spend hours doing nothing but snorkelling!!

but later, we totally understood and followed in their footsteps too.
i guess we were hyped coz it was a first-time experience,
plus we had a bunch of great teachers!!
- mr. joseph ( who actually dragged me out to sea without a life jacket just to prove that i could do it. plus, he said i have abnormal facial structure and my cheeks were too tembam, when i complained that water kept entering my goggles and nose-piece!!! hey, i can't help having high cheekbones and plump squeezable cheeks! muahahahahaha )
- adib ( who taught me a lot, and repeatedly teased me for not being able to float on my back )
- helmy ( who i found to be a really mysteriously intriguing guy! i guess i have a thing for mysterious guys. hoho. plus, he has a chain with a 'H' pendant on it, just like i do! sigh...it's been so long since i had silly little crushes like this. plus, gunavathy was layan-ing me!* crap. which reminds me of a snippet of a conversation we had in the car..

" weh fru...
ko boifren mlayu, cina, india sume dah pernah ade.
tanak add a sabah to your collection ke?"

nway,
i didn't even care that my skin was
looking more and more like a golliwog's.
the hours just seemed to fly by.
and suddenly it started to rain,
and we were forced to go back after visiting only 2 islands.

sigh.
that was sad.
plus we totally forgot about the water sports,
we were that engrossed in looking for fishies and coral reef.
well nvm,
i will definitely go snorkelling again in the future, that's for sure!!

(p/s: we even had our own BAYWATCH moment, ockay! though that will not be discussed here, to avoid embarassment to a certain individual.)

----------------

- before i pen off,
i'd just like to mention a place totally worth visiting in sabah.
TIP OF BORNEO was damn awesome!
it definitely was worth the bumpy bumpy bumpy bumpy journey!!
such a gorgeously breathtaking view...
i daresay,
if given the opportunity,
i wouldn't mind just spreading out a rug and chilling there,
and just sit & stare at the view for a whole day.

-----------------

ockay,
i guess that's enuff babbling.
so, in a nutshell,
SABAH WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

though i never thought i'd actually take a vacation there,
i'm certainly glad i did..
and i will definitely come again.

just to quote a famous phrase of a friend of mine,
DR. HISHAM,
(who we all declared as the most excited of the bunch of guys)
anyone who received an SMS from him would have this phrase in it:

"SABAH BEST WOOO!!!!!!"

i agree, hisham.
and i couldn't have put in any other better way!

(^_^)

"People are often unreasonable,

illogical and self-centered...

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,

people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives...

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,

you will win some false friends and some true enemies...

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you...

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight...

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous...

Be happy anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough...

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see.....

In the final analysis,

it is between you and God..

It is never between you and them anyway."

-------------------------

just some wise words

from my ayah.

thanx a bunch,

ayah.

* moral of story of my recent life:

--> relationships are itself olredi so complicated..

why add more by engaging in inter-religious or inter-racial relationships?

( which i seem to do frequently...sigh..)

a friend in need is a friend indeed.

2009-10-26T12:47:00.004+08:00

it was 12 am.

and i had dozed off.

supposedly waiting for my 'cousin'

whom my mom said wud be

spending the night at our house.

then mama was shaking me.

"bangon wani, bangon"

i opened my eyes a wee bit,

and thought i was dreaming...

so i shut them again.

"oi bangon laaa"

dammit,

it really was GUNA...from ipoh!

it was like my wish came true or sumthing.

(sape tak paham, means u didn't read my previous entry)

nways..

we stayed up till 4 am talking about my failed relationship.

sucks gile.

but surprisingly, there was no crying.

nope.

none.

probably,

i had exhausted my lacrimal glands,

and used up all my tears,

after 2 whole days of being a cry-baby.

so there were no tears.

nway... thanx guna. really appreciated it.

* thanx also to my sis, liana,

for layan-ing me this weekend.

ur the besh!

;)

fake-calling..?

2009-10-12T20:21:00.002+08:00

so i was flipping thru the

user manual 4 my new phone.

and i came across a topic: Make fake calls.

as i mentioned, i was just flipping thru,

but this topic caused me to do a 'double-take'

and go back to the page.

hmm...

why would someone wanna do such a thing?

nway i continue reading.

Make fake calls.

You can stimulate fake incoming calls

when you want to get out of meetings or unwanted conversations.

You can also make it appear

as if you are talking on the phone

by playing back a recorded voice.

eish.

i think it's kinda weird.

recording ur voice,

then pretending u get a call,

and listening to ur own voice,

and talking to urself...???

the things technology comes up with these days...

memorable 09.10.09

2009-10-12T20:10:00.002+08:00

not

intend

write

lengthy

post.

this here is just a reminder to myself,

so that one of the most important days of my life can be etched in this memory of mine.

09.10.09

fru, on this date is when ur 5-year suffering as a med student ended.

(^_-)

emosh.

2009-10-06T12:58:00.006+08:00

i am a very emosh person.

as i've been told,

by family.

and by fwens.

and no,
i do not deny that i am an emosh individual.
=p

rite now is a very emosh moment in my life.
probably the most emosh,
so far.

for the past 2 months
i have been:

--> at the library for nearly the whole day, 9am-12midnite daily.
(up to the point that someone said i've been camping at the library...hehe)
some might say "fuyooooo gile kiasu!! fuyoooo" .
wuteva. i have my reasons la ok.
i simply cannot (god knows i've tried so many frikking times) study kat bilik!!
too many distractions!
- comfortable bed which is just within an arm's reach of the study table.
- cooling air-conditioner which stimulates a longing for snuggling under warm comfortable comforter on bed.
- laptop full of movies and tele-series.
- laptop with internet with FACEBOOK and its many many many addictive activities, yadayadayada.
kesimpulannye, my room is just not a place for studying.

--> lugging goddamn heavy and thick as hell medical books
from my room to the library. to and fro. to and fro. to and fro.
some might be wondering "why the hell doesn't she just borrow the books from the library and stop complaining about aching arms?!"
simple. coz i have to scribble spontaneously/highlight phrases/make notes/draw matchstick men/write stupid or rude words/draw sumthing ridiculous and show it to mubin so that he laughs/slightly crumple a page if i get frustrated or if it's too complicating a topic.
i have to do all these things to my books,
and only then will i be able to study peacefully.
i know some people who treat their books
as if they're gonna return the book just as they bought it,
so they need to make sure
there is not even a dot of pen ink or pencil marks,
not even a folded or creased page, blablabla.
call me a destroyer or wuteva if u must,
but i paid for my books so suke ati aku le nak wat ape. hoho.
( nway, the only thing that turned out gud from this activity is the condition of my biceps! muahahaha. though i must say, my right arm appears more muscular.)
note to self: next time balance the weight of the books equally.

--> restricting my nightly (okla not every nite, but most nites. confirm mama bebel bace nih..lalalala) cinema visits.
this was pure torture, i must say.
there was one time, we were too frikking stressed and couldn't study anymore,
so we just went to see a movie.
BUT only after me and mubin had
drawn up a surat perjanjian on a piece of testpad paper,
which stated that it was gonna be our last night of relaxing,
which was later signed by both of us.
( i suggested we should also get 2 witnesses and ask for their signatures too,
but we were too eager to get our butts out of the library
so we didn't bother. huhu )
the only thing that turned out good from this
was that i managed to save some money.
gud thing too, since MARA has stopped giving us
our monthly cheques since september. boohoo.

--> wondering if there's something terribly wrong with my brain or if there's just a reduced capacity of my brain due to the slight atrophy secondary to lack of usage during the senior clerkship days.
i keep on studying the same thing over and over.
and yet i can't seem to remember or recall certain stuff.
this in turn just leads to further building-up of the pre-existing stress and anxiety.
sigh.

--> having a bad case of snacking in between meals.
(macam diabetic on insulin therapy pulak!)
it's just i get so famished during these study periods.
which leads to wolfing down a big meal.
which leads to sleepiness and drowsiness.
which leads to a quick drive to 7-11 to get a packet of pistachios
to stay awake or simply coz i'm having the munchies,
or sumtimes a quick drive to choice-shop to get a small carton of Haagen-Dazs macadamia nut ice-cream. uuuu yummy yummy.
yep, staying awake definitely is the most toughest job during these study periods. i think it's rather unfortunate that i detest coffee so much, but according to mubin, even coffee doesn't seem to work for him nowadays. hmmm..

--> seeing a whole lot of extra-hairy people.
hehe. in this college, if u see someone with a hell of a beard and scruffy long hair, it means they are having exams.
sometimes, it even takes a while to recognise who it is behind all that male hair.
(^_~)

--> easily pissed-off and irritable. i oweys get a tad more emosh as the exams are looming up. what with all the stress and lack of sleep.
so here i wud like to thank all fwens and family who have put up with me thruout this whole study period and exam week! luv u all!
* and a special thanks to mubin, who is constantly listening to me grumbling, complaining, crying, sighing, sobbing, nagging and what else more on a daily basis!!
thanks for being there for me, for consoling me, for urging me to study when i feel like giving up and most importantly for believing in me even more than i do...!!

thanks cyg :)

--> suddenly breaking into uncontrollable episodes of sobbing and crying episodes.
most people, including my parents, might not understand why i cry,
but i swear, SUMPAH! , that final year MBBS exam is the most mind-stressing, energy-draining, brain-tiring, soul-torturing exam that i have ever gone through.
sumtimes you just feel like giving up.
sumtimes you really regret studying medicine.
but then u think about your parents who have sacrificed so much,
and u look around at your frens and think " i want to graduate together with these people".
and u think about ur future.
sumtimes the crying episodes can't be avoided.
( i am pretty sure that i am not the only one!)
but it's ok, coz sumtimes these episodes lead to a
very relieving and soothing feeling afterwards~

nway nway nway,

all the exams are over now.
i dare not say that i did well.
but i hope i was pass-able.
even if they decide not to pass me,
i hope i get to go for re-assessment.
whatever it takes to pass!!!!!!

it has been a very tough journey indeed.
but manageable due to presence of
frens,
helpful lecturers,
family,
and also not forgetting my source of inspiration, the SAMSUNG JET.
hehehe.

now
all that's left to do is just pray hard
and wait for the results.
(even that is stressful....sigh.)
hope everyone makes it through..!

till then............~

2009-09-13T18:46:00.006+08:00

stress detox-ing.

2009-09-05T10:16:00.004+08:00

this moment in time.
where i am rite now.
has got to be the most stressful EVER,
most dreaded,
final hurdle in a med student's life.

after 5 years of brain-cramming,
finally,
it all comes down to
4 theory papers
and 3 practical exams.
of which the outcome is a matter of life-and-death.

(drama queen...!)

but really.

- who wants to spend another 6 months in med skool!! (spashly this college)
- who wants to face this dreadful, agonizing, traumatic-3month-stressful period all over again!!
- who wants to see their fwens of 5 years come for their graduation ceremony and think "i was supposed 2 be there too, smiling laughing celebrating with them"..!!
- who wants to browse thru facebook and see all their fwens updates on their new hospital posting, their new garang H.O.D, their cute M.O., their amusing patients, their joys of performing procedures or assisting surgeries, their hectic hectic life as a doctor, blablabla... and wishing so badly that u had passed ur final MBBS along with them too.

im sure none of us wud like this person above to be us.
let's just pray and hope for the best.

nways.

my 1st two theory papers were ultimate disasters.
im not even gonna bitch about it anymore.

done that on facebuk olredi hehe.
( sape kate aku tak power spot soalan.. sume soalan2 yang kluar untuk 2nd paper are the topics which i decided to skip confidently while doing my last-minute revising. damn. my instincts are certainly not to be trusted. )
naseb baek the 3rd paper was ok.
actually some of the questions were ridiculously easy,
that we even repeatedly read it over and over just to make sure it wasn't a trick question!
but hey who's complaining,
im glad it was do-able.
hopefully it can make up for my devastating marks in the previous 2 papers.
sumbodi from another batch said "hey we got some of those questions too for our unis exam!! u know, its easy coz DR. U is the one who set the medicine questions"
no wonder.
die memang baik orangnye.

thanx DR.U!
hoping the next final paper will be do-able too.
that's the last chance i hav to grab as many marks as possible to make sure i pass the theory component of my exams.
=(

after this will be the most horrifying part of the final MBBS exam.
long case and 3 short cases!!
this is where people usually mess up.
like sumbodi told me a few days ago " ala. forget these theory papers la. probably they dont even mark our papers! practical exam more important."
i get shivers down my spine just thinking about short cases!
plus i can be such a troublesome-nervous-wreck at these crucial moments of my life!
oh well.

we'll just see how evrything goes.

this weekend im taking some time off studying,
at least for 1 day.
i just cant take all the pages and pages of medical blabber anymore.
and while i am chill-axing,
i've been berangan-ing of wat to ask my parents for my graduation present!

( hahaha...i know.. TAK MALU BTOL AKU NIH )
plus i know my ayah + mama will read my blog!
hehehe.
bagus2.

dear ayah,
i want a new phone!
coz my phone (which i bought with my own money) really sux big time!
the keypads keep cracking.
and i keep on spending 70 bucks to repair the stoopid keypads,
(which will later crack anyway after only a few days!!
the longest i've managed to not crack the keypads is for 2months.
and it's not my fault ok. the keypads are just damn fragile.)
so ayah i want phone SAMSUNG JET ok!
hehehehe

boley la ayah.
pleeeez, pleeeeeez, pleezzzz!

(^___^)

reasons why ayah shud get me a SAMSUNG JET:
- coz i didnt ask for i-phone which is much much much expensiver!
- coz dah lame tak mintak present!
- coz boley kire as 2-in-1 la, graduation + bday present!
( if i pass la.... AMINNNNNNN )
- coz initially thought of asking for laptop, tapi since this phone is so crappy.............hehe.
- coz this would be the last thing that u would be buying for me, coz after this when i start working, i'll have to buy evrything using my own money!
( tambah ngan adeq aku si liana yang tak malu, yang awal2 dah booking nak ipod + sony ericsson phone when i get my pay nanti. amboiamboi! )

so.
i am gonna pray really really hard that i will pass this exam so that
- i can make my parents proud and repay them for all their usaha.
- i can get a SAMSUNG JET. (hopefully)
- i can start working and buy myself + my family stuff with my own money! yippee!

ok nak gi study skarang!
semangat! semangat!

hehhe.

gud luck all!!!!!!!

i HATE interviews. so much!

2009-08-17T20:55:00.004+08:00

i am a nervous person.

i am an interview-phobic.

i am a viva-phobic.

i am a public speaking-phobic.

aish....snang cakap la, aku nih pemalu la.

(wakakakakaka)

sriusly i hate interviews/viva.

even for the SPA interview today,

yang sumorang dok ckp:

- "ala, chill la. diorang misti pass kan punye"

- "ala rilek a beb. mane de orang penah fail seblom nih"
- "ala xde pe la. diorang memang akan amek kite keje punye!"

ituh pon aku still boley cuak!

palpitations xpayah cakap la.

restless leg syndrome pon ade haa..

like someone was saying mase tgh tunggu turn tadi,

orang A: weyyy this is worse than waiting for MV KUMAR'S viva weyyyy...

orang B: ye la.... if MV KUMAR'S viva, we are preparing to be sent out, which is not that hard to do!
hahaha..

tapi memang agak stress la,
tunggu 4 jam untuk interview yg 10 minit je.
dengan nak kene hafal name2 menteri with titles yang berjela-jela yang lagi panjang lebar dari their actual names!

dengan akak admin yang dok kasi tips2 last minute. (which was good la, but last minute cramming and mugging-up is so stressful!)
dengan catching a glimpse of muke interviewer yang nampak garang. (naseb baek die baek)

eish.

wateva, im just glad it's over.

overall it was ok i guess.

cuma satuh soalan je yang still lingering kat kapla hotak aku nih.

eish.

of all questions, soalan ni la yang auntie SPA tuh nak tanye akuh kan...

auntie SPA: ok hazwani, awak buat elektif kat mane ye dulu?
aku: hospital raja permaisuri bainun, ipoh.
auntie SPA: so, kalau bandingkan patient kat mlake ngan ipoh, mane awak rase lagi ramai?

(crapcrapcrap!!!!! ni soalan jenis ape ni?? trick question ke apeeee? seriusly aku blank gile mase nih, tatau nk ckp pe...ahhhh bantai je ah )
aku: aaaaa..ipoh kot, sbb ward die mmg besaaar and slalu penuh.
(then aku terfikir, tapi ward mlake pon slalu penoh!!dammit.)

tibe2..
DR dari hosp mlake: ooo..so patient kat mlake tak ramai la eh?

(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....adoiyaiiiiiii! shyte.shyte.shyte! senyuman kambing aku pon terkuar)
aku: aaa...eh ramai jugak, doctor. tapi hosp ipoh tu nampak mcm besar kot. eh tapi mlake ade old block ngan new block kan? hmm. alamak, saya pon tak brape pasti la doctor. he he.
(malu sial. bengang. malu. malu. seb baek laa aku nih tak leh blushing atau pon mmg xnmpk kot kalau aku blush. hahaha.)

dah balik bilik baru aku terpikir,

aku rase jawapan die hosp mlake lagi ramai kot.

sbb perak ade byk hosp

tapi mlake ade 1 hosp je!

dammit.

tadi tak terpiker lak.

i guess dat's just me being me.

maen cakap je, tak piker panjang dulu.

eish....

hope all goes well la.

pliz auntie SPA,
pleeeeease?
hehe.

Just Stuff.

2009-08-03T13:35:00.004+08:00

phew.
just finished the 1st MEQ paper 4 sessionals.
which was quite okay,
(lalala...not mentioning the 20 marks i olredi lost due to the so-totally-unexpected ophthalmology question on SQUINT!! eish...nvm. lulus. tu je aku nak.)

this past 1 week a.k.a STUDY BREAK was so fucked-up!
hahaha

i dunno if i was studying hardly,
or hardly studying !!!

nways,
there was 1 day,
i managed to survive ONE WHOLE DAY without checking out facebook!
(ockay, for me, that is a "WOW!!")

--------------------------------

and 2 weeks ago,
i actually (kononnye la) berazam untuk mula membaca suratkhabar,
and so i finally bought MY 1ST EVER NEWSPAPER!!
sadly though,
there it lies on my table,
since 21/07/09,
untouched,
unopened,
unread.
(not even the front cover!)
there goes my failed attempt at improving my general knowledge,
since i am so so so so so so so so DAFT
when it comes to all this stuff about the
menteri's and kononnye important people in malaysia.

------------------------------

sunday nite,
an ant bit my eye!
yes.
AN ANT BIT MY EYE.
to be more specific,
it bit my conjunctiva.

our bontots were numb from studying,
so we decided to go grab some kfc.
mubin was telling me sumthing bout neonatal jaundice.
suddenly i felt a drop of water on my eyelids.
the next moment,
i was feeling PEDIH-GILE-BABI-MACAM-SIAL in my left eye.

me: mubin, ade bende dlm mate aku. saket gile!
mubin: ah? ye ke? mane, tengok, tengok.
me: ow! ow! pedih!
mubin: btol ke ni?
me: btol la xkan nk tipu!! owww! mubin, fuck saket gile la weh. macam batu je.
(my eyes started watering like crazy)

hmm.
rase macam lame lak tak menjenguk kamu, wahai blog.
while resting my pseudo-paralysed fingers due to writing the oh-so-irritating medicine cases,
i'll just mention sumthing that just happened a few moments ago.

i'm writing my cases.
in my room.
with the aircond at 20 degrees.
and my window wide open.
(dunno why i do that. membazir.
tapi dh dipakse bayar rm400 sebulan. so xkesah. kot.)
while listening to ZEE AVI's songs.
(i tremendously luv her 'klasik' voice!!
the 1st time i heard her song BITTER HEART,
damn, cairrrrrrr maa.
hehe. dunno why, but when i hear her voice,
i immediately envision mary poppins
or some other old-timer in a black-&-white video clip.
it's that 'klasik'.
anyways, if someone hadn't told me that she was
actually a malaysian born in sarawak,
i would have totally passed her off as any random western singer.
such a talented lass, i must say!
malaysia boley!! heh. xpasal2 pulak)

ok back to the story.
i just finished copying down my patient's investigations.
and i felt like going to the loo.
so i got up from my stool.
then, a flurry of movement on the floor caught the corner of my eye.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

there were like a thousand ants,
ok mebbe 50 ants la,
crowding on a tile, on my floor, in my room!

then,
out of nowhere,
my spongebob-room-slippers-cladded feet started stomping
on the creatures hoarding my floor tile.
(i know those of u insect-lovers must be saying:
--> "ish kejam aa.."
--> "ish tak baek aa.."
--> "ish nanti kat nerake, ko pulak kene pijak ngan semut2 tu"
i know, i know,
it's a mean and horrible thing 2 do.
but it was just reflexly done.
not on purpose.
so xpe la kan.)

nway after my ants-stomping rampage had ended,
i looked down 2 see small black dots scattered on the 'battlefield',
which is a tile.
on the floor.
in my room.

i actually felt that i had done something pretty monstrous,
but i was also puas hati.
then i went to the loo and did my business yang tergendala seketika.
on my way out of the loo,
i once again glanced at the 'battlefield',
admired the efforts of my reflex-rampage,
and decided to sweep up the brave army of ants later.

so then i continued writing my cases.
after around 20 minutes or so,
i felt like drinking melon milk,
so again i got off my stool.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
the 'battlefield' was deserted!
i mean, it was clean & clear!
spotless!

hmm...
how? why? who? what? when? where?
ok. so, bilik aku memang tade hantu.
then there must definitely be a logical explanation 4 all this.

i squatted down near the 'battlefield'
and noticed 2 more dead soldiers still there,
and a few ants (alive) scurrying around near them.
(NO, this time i did NOT go on a stomping rampage.
see, i'm not that kejam. )

then..
i witnessed sumthing that was just amazing.
(to me, it was amazing la.. tatau la kalau aku ni jakun ke ape. )
the live ants were actually gathering up their dead friends,
each one picked up a friend using their lil' antenna thingys tuh,
and carried them back to their home, i suppose.

daymn.
no wonder the 'battlefield' was spotless.

i must admit,
it was a pretty touching scene.
and got me thinking.
"how can ants be so humane?
hell, even people (some of them) are not that humane.
harap name je ade perkataan 'human', tapi humane-nye tah ke mane."

-----------------------------------

pengajaran pada hari ini
::a lesson learnt is a lesson learnt,
no matter what or whom we learn it from::
sekian.

-----------------------------------

p/s: to those yang ingat aku tipu,
(ape? ingat aku dah tade bende laen nk tulis kt snih agaknye),
u can go on ur own stomping rampage and see 4 urself.
tapi kalau ants kat bilik korang tak humane,
well that's a different story now, aint it.

when it doesn't rain
it snows.
yeah the cookie crumbles
but in who's hands?
all things said
and all things done
life is short.

oh i am young
but i have aged.
waited long to seize the day.
all things said
and plenty done
life's too short.

could this be?
could this be the day
i've waited for?

another door to peek in through
the floor is filthy

but the couch is clean.
at the end of the day
that's another day gone.
life is short.

oh i am young
but i have a past.
travelled far to find the start.
yes i am scared
and i've been burnt.
but life is short.

could this be?
could this be the day i've waited for?

okay, so these past 7 days, i've been getting 'acquainted' with a bunch of
nutjob-wacko-are u frikkin serius-totally cuckoo psychopaths!!!

thank god, they're not really psychopaths that i mingle with in my evryday life.
thank god, they're only on the big screen of the cinema or the small screen of my laptop.

hehe..

but still!
all in one week......

suddenly got me thinking that it is indeed scary
to think that there is such a species of these homo sapiens out there..
sumwhere.

mebbe it's our own classmate.
mebbe it's our neighbour.
mebbe it's our room-mate.
mebbe it's our colleague.
mebbe it's our bibik.
mebbe it's a member of our family.
mebbe..
mebbe..
mebbe...

uuuuuuu... sending shivers down my spine olredi..
=p

1st psychopath of the week:
Ali Larter, in 'OBSESSED' : a hot-but-incredibly sicko psycho temporary secretary,
who insists on stalking her boss (who is married to beyonce) in the most freakish manner ever...

2nd psychopath of the week:
David Dash, in 'DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES' : such fabulous blue eyes!! unfortunately, with such a twisted mind. he actually moved to a new place, just so that he could be close to a couple who accidentally killed his wife & daughter once upon a time in a car accident, so that he could 'return the favour' by killing the couple's son instead.

3rd psychopath of the week:
Henry Wakefield, in 'HARPER'S ISLAND' : a psycho, adopted, groom-to-be who invited all his friends to his wedding on an island. he had actually planned a killing spree with his real father, who happened to be a famous killer on the island few years before that and who everyone thought was dead. so all his friends dropped dead, one by one, in some of the most gruesome ways! aim of this killing spree was to eventually live on the abandoned island with his oldest best friend/childhood fantasy gurl,ABBY, together, forever, just the two of them. (even though he knows that abby is actually his sister. but according to him, it doesnt matter coz there's noone left on the island, so noone will know). sick..!

---------------------------------------------------------

nways.
it just shows that

u never know...
- just how psycho ppl can really be,
- just how twisted and fucked-up some people's thoughts can be,
- just how u may not even realise that u may be someone's psycho victim.

muahahahahahahaha.......

this morning
i had an interruption of yummy sleep
and was rudely awakened
by the damn-shrill-dat-its-so-frikkin'-irritating hostel fire alarm
at 9 am on a SUNDAY MORNING!!!
arghh..

----------------------------------------

9.00 am:
thinking it was just the normal 5-minute-alarm dat sumtimes happens,
i just shut my eyes and planned on continuing 2 sleep.

9.07 am:
dammit! bising!
open my room door,
take a peek outside,
no sign of life at all.
return to bed.

9.15 am:
damn thing is still making a terrible ear-splitting racket!
dah mule cuak.
is there really a fire?!
pull back my curtains, open the window.
take a look around and sniff the air.
nope.. nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary.
open room door again, still a dead corridor.
close door.
start staring around the room.

9.20 am:
still staring around room,
making a mental note of what 2 grab,
in case i hear people running down the corridor.
(though i am fully aware dat we are not supposed 2 grab anything but our bodies in case of a fire)

result of mental note:
1. a backpack with
- laptop and external hard disk.
- iPod.
- a Jeffrey Archer novel & a David Baldacci novel that i just bought
yesterday, and haven't gotten around 2 reading yet.
- a folder containing all my important documents since birth.
- some decent clothes coz i dont wanna be seen running around in
inappropriate sleeping apparel.

2. a small overnite bag with all the handmade cards and notes
from mubin & everything else dat he has given me.
(try 2 sumbat as much as i can!)

3. wallet

4. handphone

5. car keys!

( sadly, no mention of clinical books or equipment. at all.)

9.25 am:
open door.
still a dead world out there.
contemplate whether or not to start grabbing stuff.
suddenly thinking:

" this is silly!! evryone else is not panicking.
some are probably still snoring through the whole ordeal.
i think i'll just go take a shower.
that way, if there really is a fire, i'll be fresh to start running.
and that'll be one less thing 2 stuff in my backpack."

9.30 am:
in the shower.
la-dee-da.
suddenly,
silence.
...
..
.
GREAT!!
just when i decide 2 shower,
datz when the damn thing will quiet down.
should hav known...

well.
maybe its a sign.
a sign telling me 2 get my ass out of bed early on a sunday morning, for once, to study!!

or......
maybe not.
since im blogging rite now.

so,
no.
its not a sign.

DAMN.

OMG... meaNie!!

2009-07-04T12:35:00.003+08:00

juSt now
a bumper sticker caught my eye

it said:

FARAH FAWCETT arrives in heaven and god grants her a wish.
she wishes all the children on Earth to be safe.

BAM!!!!! MICHAEL JACKSON dies.

n i actually laughed.
( for those of u who dunno wuts going on in the world,
and who dont hav the slightest idea why i wud find this funny at all,
a few days MJ died,
and FARRAH FAWCETT actually died on the same day as him)

but then,
i thot
" diz is actually quiet mean!!"

org tu dh mati.
tak baek tau.

aDdicteD..!

2009-07-02T20:05:00.009+08:00

sooooooo
absolutely
totally
utterly
completely
extremely
memang

addicted
to
BOMBERMAN!!!

i find it
very worrying,
dat we actually
spent rm40
playing bomberman
at the gaming arcade
the other day!!!!!

so..

in order 2 prevent

any more fulus-wasting,

mubin gave me

a downloaded version

of bomberman!
yeay!!!

ok la...

boleh jimat duet

but

dat still doesn't solve

my addiction problem..

plus,

its gonna be really hard 2 study

now dat bomberman is
oweys lingering in my head
and will be
just within my reach!!!!

thanx nway, mubin

dammit.
sumtymes,
(MOST of d time,actually)
i feel like
diz college is the most suckiest college ever!

x cukop ngan
mencekik darah org,
they're like vampires,
only they suck all the MONEY out of us, instead of blood.

x cukop ngan
certain rules yg mmg bodoh
n xmasok akal.
owh puhleez, dont even get me started on diz!

x cukop ngan
certain stoopid ideas
which they suddenly come up with,
and use us (spashly, our particular batch!!) as GUINEA PIGS
for their bizarre experiments.

now,
its as if their dropping their most massive bombshell on us
like a grand finale
or climax thingy,
on US
the FINAL YEAR MBBS exam-going students!

honestly,
i mean
wut da fuck!!!
(pardon me, its just unbearable)
diz iz like a matter of life n death for us
(no, im not being dramatic.
its just a fact. the whole truth, and nothing but the truth)

well
there's certainly no use me going on babbling bout this
since a decision has been reached
and i certainly dont agree with it
i think it's just plain stupid
(sorry 2 those who voted for plan B, i hav my own opinions too)

wateva it is
i hope the college dont have any more
nasty bombshells up their sleeves.
dat wud be just BOLLOCKS..

'nuff said
i'm off 2 feed my temporary depression and frustration
with the only thing i know best

mubin, big apple jom....

see?? johnny depp SOOOO rawks....!

2009-06-27T20:44:00.006+08:00

i was browsing

thru Yahoo! NEWS

and stumbled across an article

dat i so like

and so agree with.heh.

================================

Why Is Depp—Not Bale—on Public Enemies Posters?

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Johnny Depp is all over the posters for this Public Enemies movie. But Christian Bale is MIA. Shouldn't he be on the posters, too?
—Vanessa P.

Apparently when you have the option
of showing Johnny Depp
staring off into the middle distance and looking iconic,
you don't need a second actor
staring off into the middle distance and looking iconic.

Not unless that second person carries
the exact same, or better, commercial draw as Johnny Depp.
Christian Bale does not.
You may think Bale does.
You may want Bale to.
But if that's the case, too bad for you.
You're wrong.

How can I say with such certainty?
Easy.
Numbers.
Look:
According to the ever-reliable Ulmer Scale,
which measures domestic and worldwide actor bankability,
Depp is overshadowed only by Will Smith in his ability to get butts in seats.
Brad Pitt comes in at No. 3 on the Ulmer Scale.
Bale, who may be a very talented actor,
is not so bankable an actor;
he is not even on the current Ulmer top 10.

Why is this important?
Because film marketing "all comes down to recognizable star power and iconic imagery," says Steve Greenwald, coauthor of The Business of Film.
"Johnny Depp is a bigger,
more recognizable star than Bale,
especially off the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
The image from the film that is being used
is probably more striking than any of Bale,
and Depp is the Public Enemy of the title."

If Universal Pictures wanted to add Bale to the marketing posters,
they would have had to either
squeeze him in there with Depp
or create separate posters,
in the same way Warner Bros. did
when marketing Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt
in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The first option would have diluted Depp's selling power, says David Eichler.
"The design is very skillful," Eichler explains.
"It presents Depp's character, John Dillinger,
in a large, menacing stance,
thus making his character more intimidating.
Add another face and all of that gets undermined."

The second option might work,
but then again,
in a way, Bale is no Cate Blanchett.
At least, not in his ability to attract men like Blanchett can.
(hahahaha... =D)
Also, Blanchett was one of the biggest gainers
in the most recent edition of the Ulmer Scale, its 2009-10 edition.
Bale was not.
Bale was, however, featured prominently
in a leaked audio file in which he threatened to tear some crew guy a new one.

One other possible factor:
Much of who goes where on a billboard
or in a film's marketing is prenegotiated before a movie even starts shooting;
it's all nailed down in contracts.
It's possible that Depp's huge face was part of a contractual deal.

"My best guess," film producer Catherine Rubey speculates to me,
"is that whatever mileage the studio thought they could get
by featuring Bale more prominently,
was eclipsed by whatever they would have to negotiate contractually to do so."

And whatever tantrums that might ensue.
Just saying.

=================================================

sigh.....
proven, johnny depp is the man!

i'm a sPontaNeous piG.. =p

2009-06-25T15:18:00.005+08:00

2009-06-24T17:41:00.003+08:00

sumting happened 2day.
which i found sumhow awkward.

we went 2 eat at saravana's in town,
where we often go.
after picking out wut i wanted 2 eat,
i washed my hands
n went 2 sit down.

then the 'waiter' came
n spread out the daun pisangs 4 us.

then the pencedok nasik came
n started dishing out the rice.

then he asked me
"tanni?"
so i replied
"limau ais 1, thank u boss!"

suddenly he said sumting 2 mubin,
yang aku xpaham,
but the 'waiter' was pointing at me
while speaking 2 mubin,
i assumed they were talking about me,
so i said
" haa...mengumpat la tu..."
then waiter tu pon blah,
sambil tersengih2 kat mubin.

i demanded 2 know wut they were gossiping about me, in front of my face.
rupe2nye...
(the translated version)

waiter: hey, who is this gurl? (pointing2 kat aku) IS SHE WORKING FOR YOU?
mubin: haha, no la boss! we are from the same college!!
waiter: ooooo!!! ok ok boss, sori aa!! (sambil tersengih kambing..)

=============================================

siot punye waiter.
haha.
ade ke patot!!!

nwayz.
it was quite a change la.
from the constant "are u sure ur above 18,miss? coz u know this movie is only for those above 18,rite?"

hey,
i actually can look like sumone who olredi has a job and earns her own money!
datz gud,
iguess.
;)

.finaLLy.

2009-06-24T17:36:00.003+08:00
