A day of crap

Date: Thursday, May 21, 2009
Time: 11:26 PM

1st crap :

I woke up in the morning with food poisoning . My stomach hurt like hell and i was constantly going in and out the toilet .

Must be the fish i ate yesterday for lunch and dinner . CRAP

2nd crap :

I had to travel to Putrajaya for the Yayasan Tunku Abdul Rahman interview . Since it was the first time for me to travel by KLIA transit , the station was new to me and I didn't know what their signs meant . I waited for the train to stop on the left side of the platform . 10 minutes passed . No train yet . 20 minutes passed . No train on the left side of the platform yet . 30 minutes . Still none . Little did i know , I should board the train that stopped on the RIGHT side of the platform . In those 30 minutes , I actually missed 3 trains .

Wasted my time when i could have reached Putrajaya in just 15 minutes . CRAP .

3rd crap :

Upon arrival , they gave us a questionaire to be done . There were 3 sections .

The first section consist of 7 yes and no questions . ( Example : Your friend helped you re-write your essay . Improving your essay by leaps and bounds . She could explain what you could not . This helped you attain a higher grade for your essay . Is this considered as academic dishonesty ? )

The 2nd section was 2 essay questions . One in English . One in Bahasa Malaysia . The question asked to pick one of the questions in part 1 and give reasons to your answer .

The 3rd section consists of 2-choice question . We are to circle the statement which is closer to our principles .

The guy who handed me the questionaire did not tell me i had a time limit . I took my own sweet time at part 2 , thinking of as many reasons as i could . Suddenly , he came up to me . Time's up . DANG . I had not even done the question 2 of Part 2 , and also part 3 of the paper .
And so ... I rushed through to finish the paper in 5 minutes without checking at all ...
After that , I had to wait for my turn to be interviewed .

My turn came . I entered the room to see 2 friendly looking fellow with batik attire . I took a seat . And the interview started .

One of the interviewer looked through my questionaire to find a question not answered on the first page . He asked me with a smile , " Why didn't i complete it , didn't I have enough time ? " So i decided to own up to my mistake saying something like ," I had enough time . I guess i was too nervous . " Then he said jokingly ," Doctors can't make mistakes . If they made mistakes , no one would dare to go to hospitals anymore . And I said ( kinda to defend myself ) , " Everyone make mistakes " . Thank God , they laughed . But after that , one of them said ,"You shouldn't say everyone make mistakes . Instead , you should say , everyone makes mistakes but me . "

GOSH , why did i miss out on that question , why did i say that statement ? CRAP

4th crap :

Both the interviewer and I we talking about Tampin . One of the interviewer once date a girl from Tampin . So we were joking and laughing . And the conversation came to a point where we talked about going to tampin . Something like that . And it kinda triggered interviewer no.2 to say , " Its not like we're going to see you again "

wth ... they did not even asked me my ambitions and my reasons for the need of the scholarship and I already know that I'm not getting the scholarship . CRAP

5th crap :

Instead of the normal scholarship questions , he asked me ABOUT the scholarship . So i " bom " what i know ... saying that its a new scholarship , just started this year , bom bom bom ... Manatau , yes , it is a new scholarship , but it started 4 years ago , kena bom back .

Then he started explaining to me that it is a prestigious scholarship and saying that its a exclusive scholarship ... And here's the question , what do you understand about that ...
DANG , i could hear the cricket in my head cricking away ... so i continued bom-ing and continued to be bom-ed back T_______T

I couldn't answer his question on why Bahasa Malaysia is important . I said it was our mother tongue language and bla bla bla ... Used the wrong term . Should have used National Language . Because of that , I kena bom . He corrected me by saying ," BM is not your mother tongue ... your mother tongue is what you speak at home with your paretns .. bla bla bla ..."

Aiyo .... I'm Malaysian . I know BM . Why can't he assume I speak BM with my parent ? CRAP


6th crap :

My friends and I went out for movies at night . Looked through the whole list of movies to watch and couldn't decide on anything. Finally , we picked Sell Out . There were no posters of the movie around the ticket booth . So we assumed it was a horror movie . BUT , no , it wasn't . It was a comedy instead . Its a Malaysian production .

Sell Out was the winner of : Young Cinema Award for Alternative Vision - Venice Film Festival , NETPAC Award -Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and Best Film of the Venice Critics Week 2008

Watch the movie . You'll Laugh your ass out . Check out the trailer .

Conclusion , I spent RM10 on a movie full of laugh worthy CRAP

7th crap:

We did not take dinner before entering the cinema . By the time the movie ended , it was already 9 pm . Shops were closing . Just like the movies , we were undecisive of what we planned to eat . We then decided to eat at Sushi Zan Mai . We searched high and low for the restaurant . When we finally found it , there were no more sushi on the conveyance belt .
Then , we decided to just eat anything at the food floor in Midvalley . Again , all shops were cleaning up and closing their doors already .

The only restaurant available was ... KFC . Drank a hot milo there . CRAP .

8th crap , finale :

We waved a taxi to return to Vista Komanwealth . The taxi driver offered RM20 , which was more than double of the normal price . Lim Kian , my friend , managed to bargained till we got a ride at RM 15 . All the way home , the driver was sulking and sulking about the price we offered . And he purposely on the meter to show us the price . Plus , he was speeding all the way .

When we reached our place , the meter stopped at RM11.60 . Got cheated . CRAP .

I need to remember this

Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Time: 7:10 PM

Q1
Why do you need a scholarship ?

Ans
I need this scholarship because i want to lighten my parents burden . I need a scholarship because medical school is very expensive . Especially in IMU . One semester in phase 1 cost RM 28600 . And phase 2 RM 30000 . All together , a medical course in IMU would cost RM 380000 . All these exclude accommodation and food . Adding to that , medical books are very expensive . One text book cost more than RM 100 .
I have 3 more siblings who needs support in their education . One of my brother is also pursuing a medical career in Russia and the fees is also very costly .
I have a younger sister who needs support in her studies too .
Adding to that , my grandparents both maternal and paternal side , are ill . My grandfather is undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer . His medication reaches a RM 1000 per month. My parents are working their best to support us in our studies and my grandparents . I love my parents for their sacrifice and hard work .To be able to complete my studies and be a successful person is one way to repay. And this scholarship is what i need to be able to complete my studies .

Q2 Why do you deserve this scholarship more than anyone else ?

Ans
Because I really need it . I'm hardworking and determined . I'm doing well in my studies . I'm good at sports and I'm active in co-curricular activities . Adding to that , I would make a good representative of a Yayasan Tunku Abdul Rahman scholar . Above all that , because I'm honest and myself .

Q3 What makes you different from anyone else ?

Ans
I have a intense drive inside of me . This drive gives me the ability to reach for the goals and dreams and even the unreachable . If you asked me a question , and i didn't know the answer to it , i would tell you i don't know . But i bet you that i know how to find the answers . And i will find the answers . That determination makes me stand out from the rest .

Q4 Why do you choose a certain field of study?
I choose medicine because i want to serve the community .And i feel that healing is the best way to serve the community . Its not about the money earned . Its not about the title in front of my name . Its about helping others by trying to relieve their pain . And bringing back that smile on their faces . Knowing that I made a difference in a person's life gives me satisfaction .


***Update : They didn't ask any of those questions today . Instead , they asked :

1) Do you know the meaning of selective
2) Do you know the meaning of exclusive
3) Do you know why Bahasa Malaysia is so important

zzz ... i can wave goodbye to the scholarship already .

Out of 200 + they selected 70 for interview . Out of 70 they'll pick 7 for a camp . Out of 7 , they'll pick 3 students for scholarship . Out of 3 of them , they'll pick 1 medical student .

Impossible ... plus i screwed all the questions they asked me

My head. My heart.

Date:
Time: 9:32 AM

10.30pm

Why do I feel that I’m not appreciated ? Why do I feel that he is just fitting me into his activities ? Why do I feel that I am not one of his activities ?

Align Center

Why do I still feel that I’m the boyfriend and he is the girlfriend ? Why do I still feel that he isn’t putting much effort ? Why do I still feel that I’m alone in this relationship ?

I’m depressed .

Am I thinking too much ? Am I caring too much ? Am I not mature enough to handle such a relationship ?

Is it me ?

No , it can’t be . Can it ?

It happened again . Pre and post exam . No messages . No calls . If there were calls , it would be a miserable 7 minute call . Why do I feel that those 7 minutes are not sufficient ? Should it exceed 7 minutes ?

All of a sudden . I’m confused . Should it be this way ? or shouldn’t it ? Have I been influenced by Korean dramas ? But I’ve only watched one or two Korean series so far .

What if we were just normal friends ? What if I ended the relationship ? Something’s wrong .

NO NO NO . Stop thinking negatively . He is a fine person . Think of the good times . Remember that he drives from UM to spend time with you . He handmade roses for you on Valentine’s Day . He kinda paid for all the Chicken Essence you bought for exam purposes .

Its just so depressing whenever he chooses friends over me . And I am in no position to stop him from choosing his friends .

My head’s telling me , “ End it” . My heart’s telling me , “ don’t care so much” .

To tell you the truth , I really feel like ending it now . But how ? What will happen ? What if it turned out to be a mistake to let him go ? I don’t want to beg him to accept me .

What the heck … leave the situation be and hope for a miracle .

11.27pm

He asked me out :]

I think its the post exam nothing-to-do-ness that's messing with my head .

Kindergarten Outing 15/5/09

It feels good taking photographs .



Its like capturing part of the world and preserving it in material form .



You won't know how your photos turn out .



Not until you develop them .



Or look at them through your computer .



It feels good taking candid photos .



Capturing every moment



a sneeze , a blink of an eye



It feels good seeing smiles .



Smiles from deep inside .





Sincere



True



If feels good being amongs innocent children .



They don't lie .



They don't act .



No paranoia .
No fear .

Exam's over !!!

I can finally relief the itch to blog that's been bugging me for the past one month .

First off , the COOLEST thing that occured during Semester 2 .

LEE HOM MUSIC MAN CONCERT

It was my first concert . So , i didn't know what to expect .

BUT , i would say ... it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E ... Awesome AWESOME-ness just oozes from LEE HOM .



fellow lee hom fans

I managed to get myself the 3rd class tickets which cost RM268 ... ouch yeah ... but it was worth the money ... Though , i regretted not getting the first class tickets . Even with the 3rd class tickets , it is still impossible to see Mr.Awesome 's flawless figure and face . Yes , figure and face .



need binoculars ... sigh

According to my theory tells me that , one will not be good looking if he has brains , in other words , a person would never be totally perfect , one would have a good quality followed by a not so good one .



blocked view

For example : a guy having nice facial features will not necessarily have a nice figure to match with . And a guy with a nice figure , would not have the looks to go with . I have been wondering . HOW ?? HOW is it possible that Lee Hom has talent , looks , figure and brains all together . I'm not exaggerating .


Mr.Awesome

Back to the concert details , Marvel Comics was the theme of the concert . He came out introducing that he was Music man , not iron man , not superman , not spiderman . And at one point , the back ground screen displayed all the Marvel comic characters . SO COOL . The Music man had his super damn cool Dragon shaped Bahamut electric guitar as his weapon .

Overall , the concert was better than what I expected . He sang his best hits . I particularly enjoyed his performance of " zu ling shen cu " . Music and lightings complemented the whole performance .


Heaven-like lightings

Most of the songs he sang were ballads . Got me covered in goosebumps ... Lee hom's vocal performance during the concert was better than what he had on his CD . By the end of the concert ... I totally fell deeply in love with him . It was one week to my major exam then ... And i suffered from post- concert effects . Couldn't help thinking of him while studying :) .

Hope I pass my exams ...
