Self- Reflection for the '06/'07 Session

Self-reflection is something I always do every morning
and every night without fail. Yes. To look at that handsome face in the mirror. Wonder in awe how such a masterpiece lives in me. Is this what they call self-reflection? I guess so... Because you can't deny that it is a reflection of my self. So, have I choke you? I must be great to be able to do that. Then only will I be able to treat hematemesis(vomiting blood) from u guys.


Enough with the ice-breaker. Guess I should proceed
with the main topic. What have I done for my first year in UKM Medic 1st year?

1) Becoming a first year Medical Student (MS)

2) Seing so many foreigners in my home state, some who always claim that their homeplace is the best, not realising that it's just because they got used to it. But I guess that made up for their shallow knowledge and experience. I may not be that good either, but I am merely an observer to comment what happened generally.

3) Being able to lose so many things in one year from handphone; MP4 player; a bag with 3 Pharmacology books, pencil case with loads of stationery, car keys and house keys; 2 1GB minifun thumbdrive; name tag; lab keys; 3 Pilot shaker mechanical pencils worth around RM8 each; and many tiny little things.

4) Went to EAMSC (East Asia Medical Student Conference) in Taiwan. Man, that was really an unforgetable experience. I rather go more on such conference trips or free and easy than following those travel and tours trip. Those are money-making trips for people to claim that they have been to a certain country without the need to actually know the country. As a matter of fact, my parents will be going to China tomorrow without me. So, I'll be home alone for a week. Weeee....

5) Managed to play chess in UKM, getting a Silver in the team event. My skill was rusty for 3 years and there's a Silver for it? That is so much sweeter, since I'd never done well well in a team event. Not really that I lost my matches, just that I don't have regular teamates every year in secondary school.

6) Became the inaugural Flirt King in UKM 1st year medical student. I also got a job as the Head of Dept of Flirtology in Faculty of Paktorlogy, UKM.

7) Acted and directed many sketches for Personal and Professional Development assignments. Guess we should be given a double degree of Medicine and Mass Comm.

8) Gotten so many B's in my studies. Ironic, but it actually resembles my true ability. Glad for that.

9) First time staying up late at night for exam. It was for the end sem OSPE where I'd to digest all 4 modules' practicals in about 7 hours time. There was a PPD exam the day beofre till 4pm, so started on full gear at 8pm. That was also the first time I'd mixed 3 tablespoon of Nescafe into my drink to spike it. I also took an antihistamine(Clarinase) not for its effect, but the Pseudoephedrine (nasal vessel constrictor) for its neurostimulating effect. Great, now I'm doing drugs.

10) Gotten 3 parking tickets from DBKL, because they were too poor. Up to this day, the DBKL people has greatly improved. They can finish 100 metres of summonse within 5 minutes, and their handwritings are much better than mine. Lolz..

11) Became the group leader(more of an office boy) for PBL 18 in first semester. It's still the best PBL group, although it may not be as dynamic as my second PBL group 5.

12) Touching prosected cadaver with bare hands without hesitating. OSPE provide no gloves, and the cloth beside the table make it hard to 'feel' if you want to use it. Spongy arteries, collapsing veins, solid nerve cords,etc.

13) Found out that my brain cells are log-killed from the start of the exam till the end of it. Casualties were from log 2 on the 1st day to log 16 on the last. The creative side of my brain is dying as well, if it has not been degenerating due to atrophy.

14) Found out that I have great story-telling ability which I practised in my essay during exams.


Ouch, by the end of this, my head aches. Can't use too much
recalling. they say the path is clear when you make a step. But I am much more confused than before. I ought to gslog hard, but for no apparent reason? I might as well heading for doom.


*The End*

Another Bunny Post

Basically, this has been my second costume. A disaster
because I was trying to be lazy. In the end, I worked more because of the repair stitches I had to do. So, tears would drop looking at this 'slavepiece'. Haiz.. I am totally speechless. Let my photos of it do the talking.













If the previous one could get an A for my stitching standards (B+ for my evaluation), this would get a C+. Guess I'll take a break when my patience is back so that I could give in more effort.

Project Bunny

Hello, baby!! Bunny's back. It's been a hobby project for some time now. So I'll show the progress so far. Not perfect, but at least it's still plausible.


How bout some jacuzzi?

The first step is to get the bunny to bath. This was done last week and being hanged upside down for a few days because I'd forgotten about him. Sorry!! Secondly, it's pre-clothes time. Time to sharpen the rusty needle...



A clean underwear. What do you expect?



The underside of the underwear. It's not a sarong like I'd made few years back.



Decoration of the undies. Many many loves.. Just like one of my undies.

Muahaha..Jz kidding, don't look so surprised.

And time for the first official project completed:

DR BUNNY!!!

Lateral view of Dr Bunny in white coat. Observe the side 'parting' of the white coat just like the real thingie.




Anterior view of Dr Bunny. He looks way cooler than I'd imagined in a white coat.


Closer view. A button and 3 functional pockets (not dummies)


Dr Bunny in a modelling shootout. COOL!!!

In conclusion, Yee Ming is a whacky person. Stay away from him if possible. *End of Story*

P.S: But then, give a clap for such a nice art work. n_n"

Black is coffee!!

Hey guys, I'm back here!! This is one special post actually.
Dedicated to my TARC junior (perhaps ex-jr?) also a.k.a Science and Maths Society Secretary --> Yvonne!! Was planning to go back home from Times Square when I decided to drop by Maluri Jusco. (Okay, different way, but trust me, I'm more used to the road from Times Square to Cheras than to my own home *wink*) It was around 3.15pm, tea-time I supposed.. Jeng jeng..here's the pic which she's gonna KILL me for posting it here. Somebody, STOP me!! Hehe.. (P.S. You're the one complaining the lack of pics here, so I figured to put your photos here n_n")


Welcome to Starbucks!!
(A bit blur pic cos was trying to take a quick shot)

Attending a customer --> Expert Yvonne on the move!!

In fact, she made a Banana Javachips Frappucino Blended
Coffee just for me F.O.C.! How often would I get them. Feel malu la, wanna pay but she's the cashier, can't force a cashier, later people think I'm robbing!! Promise to belanja you next time k!! Anyway, just a bit of comment, the JFBC abbrv looked more like JBFC(Johor Bharu Football Club) to me..n_n"



Specially blended from Yvonne in cute green uniform!!


There's a 'YM' on top. See it?





See the light on top of her head? Don't be surprised, she's got a halo!!

Angelic!! n_n"

Then they had a coffee tasting session. Well, the coffee tasted
like... coffee. The first step in tasting is to smell it with a hand clasping 3 quarter of the mouth of the cup, like something you would do while sniffing durian. n_n" Then slurp it so you could distribute it evenly on the tongue? Seriously, I thought there was problem with my tongue when I only tasted the bitterness at the middle back of the tongue (Posterior-medially), cos usually I'll taste bitterness everywhere whenever I'm having bittergourd soup. Haha... By the way, let me try to recall what I heard. It's a Caffe Verona, 80% Yukon Blend, 20% Italian Roast, a romantic coffee usually for Valentine's Day, goes better with chocolate cookies or caramel. Personally, I think it goes good with anything chocolate! Tasted better than the usual Mocha I would have ordered. Otherwise, it would be bitter like a typical coffee (means biasa aje la...like Yvonne said.. hehe), perhaps with a slight blend of unique taste. Maybe that's why this coffee is so 'romantic'. Love is like coffee. It keeps you awake. It keeps you motivated. It's bitter, yet everyone loves it. Before you try it, you won't crave for it. The more you have it, the more you're addicted. Even when it's gone, the taste still lingers around, until you find another replacement. And lastly, without it, u'll die, with it, u'll also slowly die.. Lol...
Had some chat there, and seems like she's really
having fun there. She IS having FUN actually. Seem a long time haven't see her. But then, she's still the same fantastic and jovial person. Or I haven't seen the other side? Hehe... Oh yeah, sorry if ter'kacaui'ng you cos made you break 'overtime'. -.-" All the best, Perhaps we shall meet another time soon.
P.S. Oh ya, the Banana JFBC tastes fantastic. With that amount of coffee and banana, I feel like monkeying around all night long!! *wink*

Golden rules to reach out to a girl.


I was browsing through aaron's blog about the golden
rules to call a girl. Yeah, it was kinda striken true when you see a guy got overexcited and boasted to his friends that he got a girl's number. Two things could possibly happen from here on for him: He got dumped not long right after, failing in his attempt; or he will get along if the girl is a mad desperado craving for attention. Either way, it spells DISASTER. But nevermind, everyone goes through this learning phase, and even me myself had humble beginnings. It just happened that I grew faster, considering that I had overshot to be the Flirt King in UKM Medic Fac of the First Years and the Head of Dept of Flirtology of Faculty of Paktorlogy UKM. To be frank, it's nothing of a true flirt. It's just the essence of flirting put together to build relationships with friends without being a true playboy or Casanova. I guess it wouldn't hurt anyway.

So, those who haven't had a clue of the article I
mentioned above just now, kindly refer to the Aaron Sim blog by the blog links I'd refer you to. Heck, I'm promoting other people's blog because I'm just too lazy to plagiarize everything. Credits to him though. He made me think of those countless futile attempts of mine before the enlightenment came. And here's the summary along with the comments of it.

Keep your conversations short.
Whether you are a busy attorney as pictured by Sandy Cohen or you are just bumming around, you would want to consider giving her an impression that you do lead a full active life. Keeping your initial conversation brief, well spoken and give her the right attention when she speaks, it gives her the impression you are in demand by your surroundings. Ending the conversation before it runs dry also tells her that you know how to keep things in control and leave her looking at your cellphone for more of your calls. A day breaker for her when she receives your call.
Comment: That's kind of true. The fact is, a human's attention span is very short, perhaps for the first 5 minutes. However, the "well spoken" part might be subjective to different people. No girl really wants a gentleman talk, because there's dozens of them talking to her the same way as you did everyday. Just be natural, don't pretend to be someone else and crack a joke or two. Personally, I would like to be cocky and funny as my 'master' said, but I'd prefer sticking to my own lame jokes. Develop your own style. Get her attention, and then leave with it. This goes with a BANG, and you've got the right spot. The key: Be confident and natural. Females can sense fear like hound dogs. It doesn't really matter if you're short, poor, or not as handsome as me,*wink* but if you got the confidence, you win. I would have a list to teach you so, but I'd reserve that as my teaching materials in my faculty.


Say Bye with a high note
No I’m not asking to say bye as in bye~~ like Pavarotti does. I’m saying before you end your conversation, make an effort to leave a positive note. Be it a good joke or an encouragement. She would always remember the last thing you said on the phone. Leave her a ’smiling’ tone as you say goodbye and she is more likely to want to speak to you again.
Comment: You can call it a smiling tone, I call it confidence. Don't act like a wussy telling her how you wouldn't let go of her in a depressed manner. You'll scare her more than you intend to. But there's always exceptions for everything. You can tell her how you will miss her when you're not busy, in a jovial, light tone. No serious tone please, especially on the first few calls.

Think & Have A Purpose
I cannot fully explain to you this. Whatever it is make sure you prepare yourself before you make a phone call. Be sure to know what tone to use, when to leave a message, what time of the day to call and so fourth. Of course don’t simply just start to ask her out immedietly and don’t beat around the bush for long either. Have a purpose for your call and make it short, sweet and simple.
Comment: Practice makes perfect. No serious or sober tone. It's just instinct. But be sure for one thing. Don't make it a routine to call her. Be unpredictable. This creates tension around you. If you're a natural, you wouldn't realise it because you're too occupied with your daily tasks and job. This sends her the message that she's not the top priority, and you've got better things to do than just looking for her. This makes you stand out as a non-wussy like most guys that she had ever met.

Positivity
Women might have a soft spot to be nice listeners and symphatise on your gloomy day. But the truth is, she probably won’t stick around if you are all about gloom and constantly emitting negative charges. It doesn’t matter if your boss is a jackass but complaints are a real turnoff for another woman especially when they had a bad day too and they want you to listen. Once you started all out, she would feel reluctant to share hers since she thinks it might make your day bad. This would make you look needy. So avoid it if possible. Be a man. Do the right thing - Russell Peters.
Comment: Look, I know most of you always think that opposite attracts. But this is not the case here. This will cause lightning which would be lethal if it strikes you. The fact is, no one really likes gloomy people. This makes them unattractive. You might be able to tolerate gloominess at first, but imagine doing this for the rest of your life. Create a balance, I would preferably say, because no one can be postive all the time though. Just don't dominate and let the other person talk to you too. This is called communication skills.

Leaving a message and phone calls
Get this right. Firstly you should avoid leaving messages on the first call. You cannot get yourself under her radar by having her to find out there are 20 miscalls and 9 voice messages and don’t try to test her radar capability by calling from an unknown number to see if she is there or not.
If she doesn’t answer, hang up. Call back later. On you second call, if there still isn’t an answer, leave a message and leave it in a coherent and positive tone. Don’t leave long rambling messages on her voicemail. You see, if you message turns out to be the first message, it could potentially be played back and analyzed several times over. Tone and choice of wording play a key role. Identify yourself, leave a phone number or some way she could reach you back if she fails to reach you on your cellphone. Don’t just go ” hey it’s me”
Call her at the right time. She would not be too respective on your phone call if she is among her friends or co-workers or even her boss. Avoid calls on Saturday nights.
Comment: Well, there's hardly leaving a message in Malaysia. SMS her then. If she does have one, don't ever try to mess with it. There's no need for playbacks. A female can sense it if you're being confident or not from the first hearing. Keep out of radar as been mentioned. If there's ever a female doing playnacks, she must be too interested in you. But then again, I would advise you to stay away from her for she might be a potential stalker. Leave her an SMS, and wait till she reply. There's no need to bombard her with SMSes. You wouldn't want to look like a desperate wussy, which will send an immediate SOS to her of "Keep a distance from this guy". One SMS is much more effective than "more than one". To me, it doesn't really matter if you say "Hey, it's me" if you say it in a light tone. Don't sound sober and you're all right. Don't get too long on the phone anyway, for telephone bills are expensive (unless you're separated by distance, overseas for example) and mobile phones have radiation. Get face to face preferably, but that would be another lesson altogether.

P.S. Females don't like weakness and insecurity in men.


With here, I end a sample session, and kindly register
to the Fac of Paktorlogy UKM if you're interested to know more. Just kidding. No admission for non-coursemates. Hehe..

Stress Peak

The reason I am here when I'm supposed to be studying for
the Infection and Immunity module and Medicine and Society module is because I'm quite stressed. Reason? Because I wasn't stressed. Weird huh? I'm getting worried because I'm not worried about the exams. Why am I not? I might have done badly in today's musculoskeletal, but I wasn't really bother about it. Even the last module ( Musculoskeletal) results of an A- which were posted today along with NAMES (when it was only ID number usually) does not excite me nor disappoint me. It's like a guy not feeling a thing when he's reading erotic stuff. What the heck... And today's exam, is just a comedy of errors.
Imagine this: A guy grabbing his ass while moving
his right thigh up, right, down, and left, in hope of searching for the muscle involved in lateral rotation. In the end, he still got it wrong when he confused himself with abduction and adduction of hip, which leads to another mistake in the OMR, with many more to go.
Or another scenario here: A guy trying to feel for his pulses
behind his right knee, or the medial side of his ankle, and the dorsum of his foot. And the last part, he was caught in the act searching for the femoral pulse in the mid-inguinal area, looking as if he was scratching his groin from the view of the girl coursemate on his left. And the list goes on and on, never failing to humor anyone who heard about it. Pathetic...
Away from the topic, UKM has selected its
own chess team representatives for the MASUM in USM. Sadly, I wasn't in. So, I get more holiday at home. Lye Fen got called though. Wish her all the best. The spiritual support will come from the heart. n_n"
And about my plans for the holidays. Looks like
there's nothing much for me to do. Plan to eat and sleep. Please kindly invite me if anyone is free. I'm more than willing to go if I'm free( which would be almost all the time). Anyway, there's a major announcement here. I'm planning to revive PROJECT BUNNY!!! I'll be putting the pics up when I'm done with the project. It will be my 1st holiday project so far, apart from trying to watch Spiderman 3 in the cinema. ( Anyone haven't watch can ajak me eh..) K la, I'll stop being dreamy and realistic. Exam will all be over in a matter of few days. Around 5 days I guess. Wish me all the best. G*d bless.
