Is it the end of 2007 already? Time...u gotta slow down!!

of cos...time wont... i didn even have time to blog bout christmas...but its basically nice and simple.. no pics taken when im playing violin though.. guess no one is interested..or no wan saw me hiding in the corner! but im still thankful for everything i had that day...

i think part of me wants to graduate fast and be called Dr... but then looking at the way new housemans are treated, u kinda wanna think twice..and really make sure ur good b4 graduating. housemans job is NO different from a kuli aka slave... u pick up rubbish, get scolded 24/7, get blamed even though its not ur fault, get paid sandwich, not to mention no sleep and frequently...no eating too!!

this year... i experiened
1. staying out for the first time..
2. broke my record for the longest no sleep duration
3. went to Miri/Segamat for the first time.
4. went to Singapore
5. acted on stage in uni
6. went carolling in PD
7. got saved from the brink of death in Karak highway..im not joking
8. eating buffet in jogoya
9. performed 2 hemorrhoid banding
10. cooked all my favorite recipes...and even invited lecturer to sample my dishes... thinking of being a chef instead..haha..too late

looking back, i dun think i have much regrets this year... only thanksgiving for all the experiences i went thru.. and of cos.. i shall look forward to working and playing harder next year!!!

Happy New Year 2008

After the impromptu carolling in Seremban..its time to do carols in my own church...now..nth it random here...these kids trained and practiced for a month!! and im just joining in for fun..and also to be their ah mat for the journey....

and this year...theres a whole new experience compared to the past...

we left home with rain like this!! can u imagine?? its pouring and 1 second in the rain can get u soaked....we supposed to leave church at 630, but we prayed for the rain to stop so we could get started..and guess wat..God answered our prayers... just as it seemed that the rain would be going on the whole night...it stopped at 7..and it didn even drizzle after that....


now...we were asked to sing in a 'shop'...kinda scary at 1st..thinking tat we'll surely attract a whole crowd...but then..when we arrived...it wasn't just a 'shop'...its a Auntie Karaoke Lounge!! wuah....and the 'crowd' packed the door....and we sang the carols on stage...how unusual!! and the owner insisted that one of us sing a k osso...and since the songs are all sung b4 we were born..our uncle hong did the honors...
now...we would pray for each home that we visit...and when it came to my turn... its always a house packed with 100 ppl.. and its so noisy i need to strain my voice...but its all good in the end..now..imagine ur a kid at nite..and suddenly here comes 2 angels with glowing gown giving u christmas candies!!! its fun of cos...but then they could be so easily mistaken for somwthing else!!hahaand these 2 angels are really hard to catch hold to take pics...when they see camera..they fly away.....but i managed to get a shot when their too tired....

we'll surely be back again next year!!!

Its Christmas time...and the Paeds exam is over!! well..time to spread some joy of Christmas..but 1st.. im just glad that the posting is over... the kids were wonderful, even when theyre sick, they dun scold u, they dun curse u, and they let u examine them without complaining. when theyre well...they give u a smile which just makes u forget all ur worries... ill definately miss some of the kids there..and since its christmas time.. i got invited to a kids' home...to sing carols to the family.. well...Me? asked to sing?? now that is as rare as seeing a green moon... but anyway.. i tot..theres Jo.. whose voice is good enaf to cover for any out-of-tunes i make... and i could always... u know..do wat the celebrities do on stage?
turns out..we were squeezed into a house full of kids... and i was absolutely lost on wat to do... after singing some songs...Dr Lee shared the christmas story to the kids...in malay!!.. and theres Minoo to translate all the difficult terms...it cant be more attractive..the kids eyes are fixed to Dr Lee!!!

and we even get some treats from the aunties there...the mee was great..although super spicy..

and we all left knowing that we did something good that day..
and at night..we were all still singing at home..and we just had to do something wierd.. and we chose to go to the beach!! well...its wasnt an outing after all.. i just walked 2 steps and thats it!! and had some supper in PD...which i mistaken it for Lukut!! but then..the more exciting part is that i get to see hows life like in the kampung areas during midnight.....

just look at this..all u get is Petrol...dun even know what company ...maybe smuggled..

shortly after Diwali...its Christmas time!! and we had a simple... but really nice and meaningful Christmas musical here in Seremban...the attendance by the hospital doctors are just amazing! Heres Mr D giving a talk on hope...what an irony cos u know if u get him for exam...its hopeless! but his message is clear, that we could only have hope in God..and everything else is just temporary...
and the carol is awesome!! u really sang till they sweat...but we all enjoyed every bit of their singing..and the skit again reminded us that nothing in earth can come between us and God.. so this Christmas... remember the true meaning of it..that it is because this day..that we all have hope in our lives....

what do u call a place where u dun get sleep for more than 24 hours, no bath, no brush, dinner at 2 am, and non stop physical and mental drilling?? yes..its a slice of helloh ya..and u get bitten by 50 mozzies in the jungle too!!and then they put u in 'chalets' with no bed, no pillow, no matress, no blanket..and let u share toilets like these....its a lice of prison too...

last week, some of us joined a first aid camp organised by some of the surgeons, who all wanted to give us a taste of their lives... or so they claim. it started by asking us to carry 20 kg hoses 100 feet to put out fire... then some basic training on first aid and CPR, then some motivational talk, then a scout style knotting session...then bbq ur own dinner at 130 am....after finishing watever thats left, u head of to 'bed', onli to be woken up for a 'rescue' mission, and that includes carrying a 50 kg person more than 1 km, and leaving u with no more strength, u see the sunrise, then u cut urself while carrying a stretcher while crawling... and they call that essential training...

by the time i sleep..its oledi 32 hours since i last rested..and know..i can comfortably brag that i CAN survive without sleep...!!

this years Diwali night is really different... because for the first time...im not just the spectator...and my whoue house is in it!! After a week of patient practicing for my 15 seconds role...the day has finally come..the wonderful kolam made by the chapati corner auntie

Everybody who has a indian costume are all dressed up in their finest.. and even lecturers from BJ came to give us support... Dr JPJ sang his favorite tamil song with a sem 1 student, theres the opening light dance, baranatyam and modern dances... and finally..drama..
Don had heart attack, Don wanna find new heir, the audition went bad (i was the wan), tontos go search for heir, heir found, diamond stolen, Madam Lola killed, don arrested, tonto jailed, heir takes over...confusing? its not if ur there..and there u go...my 15 seconds of fame.

and there the fashion show from all corners of india...this wan i really think its better than the BJ wans.. especially the bridal wan with Jacklyn in it... never seen her without specs b4..Joo ee also did great as the basket girl...
the most important person is often the unseen...and heres the prop specialist that deserve all the praise for their efficiency in moving the props up and down the stage.

Rangili Raat...

once upon a time, there were 2 housemates having dinner peacefully..when suddenly.. one spotted a little furry creppy fella running from the kitchen to the store room... immediately..they set out to destroy the carrier of Yersinia Pestis...

they surrounded the door and cleared the store...to only find that there are 2 more frens of the furry fella! theyre just babies..and the housemates tot it should be easy to exterminate..never did they know that the creatures are slick..

the first of the 3 frens were easily captured by a quick swat with the pail... just as the housemates were gleeming from the success, Jo came in... then..without warning.. another fren ran after her!! she frantically shouted..and was in trauma for the next 10 minutes...

the third of the frens was also swatted with a pail... and killed instantly on the impact.. then, a surprise..the first pail acutally captured not one but 2!! and now..the housemates need to kill them for good...

they boiled water...and watch the fellas breathed their last...


midnight, the gravedigger dug a grave..and unceremoniously buried the critters outside.

talking bout the carrier of Yersinia Pestis, they disinfected and sterilised the whole kitchen, rearranged the food..and realised that how negligent they have been all this while...a good lesson learned..

i could boast proudly that i have the Most Homely house in Seremban..where else would you have a christmas tree...with lights! and we we dun just have one...we have 2!! along with gifts that i cant wait to open!!....

its been real long since we cooked and invite guest to come... and on sunday...we tot..y not? its just after thanksgiving...and near chistmas time! we just have to have another wan... make it a big wan!

i specifically told Jo and Tek Jee to get the stuff and get ready by 530... so we could burn watever that needs to burn...when i came back at 530, they just arrived....and there goes our frantic chopping, slicing, washing and scolding all the way at the same time...talk about multitasking!!

the main dish is none other than..a roasted stuffed chicken!!just check out the perfectly roasted ayam stuffed with potatoes, ham, bacon....well..and 10 other stuff which im lazy to list out....and probably i wanna keep it a secret..!! its gold!!
and not forgetting the spagetti which tek jee prepared for 12 persons..alcoholic fruit punch by Jo, who also made salad and mushroom sauce and all the effort by everyone...its truly a meal fit to serve Datos....

and u know its good just by looking at chien yung lick the bones clean with a mouth stuffed!! and we also lucky to have Ching Mun, Christina and Chee Wing over!! such a heavenly dinner...surely we will have more fun times again!!

lots of things have been said bout women drivers....they cant park, they cant judge distance, they cant turn without crossing lines..they cant drive manual... but this week has given me a whole new look to women drivers!! they rock..

heres a pic of Sakthi driving a Gen 2 1.6 campro engine... now, a lot of things has been said about campros too!! but too drive 170 km/h at 4800 rpm... Respect!! and she topped at an orgasmic 190 km/h!! at that speed, cars will pass by u b4 u can say 'look!!' and my goodness..was that thrilling! i can see Ah Huat trying to control his emotions.. and telling sakthi to slow down..She corners at 140kmh also..!

and this is the scenery at 170/kmh!!

the next day, Ching Mun....who most ppl cant believe she drives fast... topped at 150 km/h..second onli to Sakhti.. in a Nissan Sunny 1.5!!manual!! next came me with 145km/h (its not me..my car will topple if i drove faster..i can onli manage that at straights)...and last..Ah Huat with a speed too low to even mention....in a car that can probably to 150 also..

i so wanted to drive Sakhti's car back to Seremban..but thinking..wat if i dun make 190? wont tht make me the laughing stock of the century? better not...

and all the talks bout danger to life...cmon guys.. u can get rammed at 30kmh by a lorry and still die... wats the point of driving if u go slow...might as well take bicycle...Cheers to Sakhti and Ching Mun... i want a ride from u guys again!!
