I had already typed out two longs posts for this blog but on both occasions, my com sht down on me!!! The poor thing is definitely sick. Need to get it to a doctor fast. poor thing. Anyway. Summary of what transpired last week (since  am so sick of relating it over and over again..)

1. I broke my talus, that's the hinge in your ankle where it allows your foot to move up and down flexibly. Yeahm broke it running 4x100 m on saturday. It just folded up under me. don't know why..

2. I joined A Level's Medicine Council and was supposed to be on probation but since i broke my ankle, darn, i can't do the tasks set for me, Hence, i probably won't be accepted into the council. Sad sad..

3. Pros of breaking ankle: Ausmat sports captain sent me back home on his motorbike and people are so sweet to me. Love 'em all, like my housemates and my friends and lecturers. Oh AND I get to go back home and stay with parents for six weeks. hehe. 

Cons of breaking ankle: I have to hobble around, depend on others, an I GET BORED OUT OF MY SKULL. And I have to miss six weeks of classes. Great.

4. I went to Campus Alive youth on Thursday last week. Was kinda awesome and fun. Met Timothy Phang from All Saints (my senior by two years). 

5. Things to note:

 a) Met some guy named Larry two weeks ago or so and he's really nice

b) Went to girls cell meeting and it was really nice too.

c) Went out with  Melissa and friends from taylors and had an awesome fun time.

d) i'm bushed. Shall spend the next forty days on this devotional called 'Give Me 40 days' by Freeda Bowers.

Love you guys. Like whoever you are.

p/s I liked being loved. lol!

Oh my, there's no better food than Mum's cooking. It's been about a month since I left the 'nest' and already I'm saying it - There's no better food than home-cooked FOOD!!! Hahaha... I miss Chinese food. Tofu and green FRESH vegetables and chicken with black sauce and minced pork steamed with egg and and and and - so many types of food that I don't have the privilege of having while staying away from home. sighhhhhh...... I'm home for today because I have a dental appointment in Bangsar tomorrow. Great excuse to leave my flat to come home, right?  hehe. Lately, I've been speaking with all kinds of Chinese slang because all my housemates are Chinese and because of the influence, my English is slowly going down the drain. Gosh, this must be nipped in the bud right away! I can't have my English deteriorate! It's the only language that I am proficient in and I refuse to spoil the beauty of English with all the "la", "bah", "ah", "meh", "kah", "O" etcetera etcetera that you hear when speaking with Chinese -ed people. Yet, I'm learning a little Chinese from living with the three of them so there are advantages, I suppose.

Don't I miss Taylors right now. Sigh. I miss the teachers, the teaching method, the library, The Web, the efficient computer system and printing facilities and generally conducive studying atmosphere there. I really miss it all. :(  I miss the classes and I miss studying PHYSICS, people. PHYSICS!! and Miss Lim Wan Hong with her funny lame jokes. :(  I think I will take Physics on my own initiative in INTEC. And so much to update about. Friday night, 18th of July, I choreographed and trained a group of six girls to dance to high school musical's song, with another Muslim girl. lol. Ya i know, the song choice is kind of lame, but we did it all in TWO DAYS. That's right, TWO DAYS. Choreographed and danced it and it wasn't that simple either. However, guess which presentation won. Some Islamic singing. It was only three guys singing monotonously and they beat us. Honestly, no one really listened to them but we got cheers and whistles and claps. Nevertheless, I don't regret training the girls. We had fun and we were the only non-racist group - mixed Malays and non-Malays. I feel proud of our 'perpaduan.'

My Chem teacher is good, my stats teacher also good, pure math also good, biology is doubtful. I have no idea what he talks about sometimes! It's like.. I have no idea what objective he's trying to achieve. He doesn't give us a clear outline on what we will need to learn and all he does is draw structural formulas of everything! And when I ask him questions, he either says he doesn't know or he doesn't understand me and looks blur. He doesnt even try to!

I feel so sad when I heard that a friend of mine in Taylors came back and gave up his scholarship. I wish I could to. I wish I could somehow realise that however idealistic dream of mine to study on a western campus with non-malaysian weather. Why did I think that by sheer perseverance and brilliants results, I would be able to realise that dream? I was so naive. I never understood the way this world works, the way this country works, the way everything works.

Feel a bit down in the dumps... for some reason. Just now, a strong feeling of nostalgia came over me for everything that I committed myself to for the first six months of the year 2008. I can't believe it's almost half gone. Another year. SO many new people and new friends. Before I know it, my life will be half-gone already. :( 

To Desmond (Rowena's friend): Yes, I need a bunch of fun. And friends. Totally. Bring Rowena also la.

To Rowena: I'm sorry. I still love you the best. lol.

P/s So deprived of male species here man. Other than the quiet studious type, that is. I NEED YOUR FRIENDS ROWENA LAU. EXPORT HERE FASTERRR!! lol.

Random news. Gosh people. I'm in INTEC, UiTM now. It's quite fun here with lots of girls staying in the same block and having friends around all the time. However, the block I'm staying in is RELI RELI old. It was built in 1986 you see, so you can imagine the condition it is in now... The walls of my house unit were kind of black....!! yes and the paimt is peeling. My kitchen was a garish aquamarine, once upon a time. Now the bits of white and grey are showing through the paint because its all coming off. The kitchen houses one metal sink. That's all. We can't cook; it's in the rule book. So basically, having a ruined kitchen does not have any consequences at all, I suppose. The toilet is not too bad. It's tiled, at least and has a toilet bowl. Funny thing is, there is no sink. So we use the kitchen. There is a shower head accompanied  by a big looming water tank set just inches above our head when we stand up. And when you hold both arms apart, you hit the walls. Ouch. Yeap. My room is not TOO bad though, one can live in it. It was a little dirty when we moved in but now its okay, I guess. HAHA! The first day I stepped into the house, I thought, "OhmyGosh... this is like... a scene out of a creepy movie...!" Cobwebs; dank, stale air; pale sunlight filtering in through the dusty windows and falling on the scratched brown linoleum... and the front door itself was [IS] stained with the remnants of some runny brown sunbstance. Yes, sounds disgusting, right? You guys should come visit me. Live the "dream." [Note: sarcasm included] You see, we're not supposed to post any negative commentaries online as students of UiTM but I'm just stating facts as they are. Honest.

My roommate is really cute though. She's smallish and she is really disciplined and good! Makes me feel bad because I'm not so tidy or disciplined or organised!! Hahah! Things that do not come as second nature to me, that's for sure. All my housemates are chinese and they speak chinese a lot, so I'm picking it up slowly. Hopefully, by the time I gradute with my medical degree, I'll be able to communicate well enough in Chinese. Most likely I'll be treating patients who can't speak english, so I wouldn't want them to have trouble talking to me about their illnesses.

My housemate said a funny thing yesterday. "It's my dream to have diarrhea, you knowww [Chinese slang]" I stared at her blankly. WHAT??? Her dream is to have diarrhea... *silence* "WHY??" I ask. "Because I'm always constipated. So it's my dream to have diarrhea," she explained. ........ Right. LOL! That was so funny! Who dreams of having diarrhea except her?? lol

Seven years more till I graduate. Amazing. It'll be a long journey but a fun one, I should think! I've met this amazing bunch of girls and we hang out a lot. Kind of cool hehe. I still go back weekends though, coz' my hosue isn't too far from here. So it's tolerable.

About my lecturers....wow, I'm not too sure what to say about them. But the fact that I'm not raving about them might be something to be concerned about..?? Anyhow, It's really relaxed here compared to Taylors Uni College, I feel.

It's MEGA SALE now in KL. COME TO KL, PEOPLE and GO SHOPPING with ME!! *grin*  haha.

That's all for now. I'll update more in future. Ciao!  :)

Oh, oh and God is doing something even here. It's good. He's good. :)

P/s Doctors work like 36 hours without sleep. They work like dogs and look sicker than the patients. So knowing this, why do I still want to be a doctor? It's not about the money.
