Guy Fails to Court Juniors

Dear Passengers, how have you been? Do you know that whenever I blog, I feel like this girl Judy in the novel by Jean Webster called Daddy Long Legs. For those who have not read the book, it is about this girl Judy Abbott who writes letters to this benefactor of hers but do not get any reply as this benefactor must be kept a secret. A very lovely book indeed, about how this young orphan girl is given a chance to go to college for free, paid by this mysterious benefactor who stayed unknown. She calls him Daddy Long Legs before from the shadow she saw, he had long legs. Those interested can get the book from me.

But I digress. My point is, when I blog, i seemed to be pouring everything out to my passengers, but I do not get any reply, like Judy, except for some occasional comments from some good friends. Sigh... but I can't complain.


Ok, onward into today's blogging.

I am about to blog about this scene I saw in the Library when I was studying last night. I happened to sit very near where it happened, so I could listen to what was happening. You should have been there to really appreciate the moment.
The main actors and actresses are this guy from M1/04, two girls from M2/04 and a guy senior from M2/03. The scenario, two girls from M2/04 wants to use the computer, so they approach this guy from M1/04.
Girls: Can we use the computer? We don't have ID and password.
Guy: Sure. Come on, I'll log on with mine.
They walk to the nearest computer. The guy tried to on it, but it was not working so he jumped to another computer, which was also not working.
Guy: Uh... you have to wait for a computer. When you get a computer, come call me.
He went off to study, leaving the two girls there. Then when they got the computer, they called him and he went to help them.
Guy: Here, let me log on with my ID for you.
So he tried and tried and tried but cannot. So he approached the Senior who was sitting by the computer.
Guy: Uh, server down izzit? Why cannot log on wan?
Senior: Your ID expire dee la. Of course cannot log on la.
Guy: Oh, I forgot. Then how?
Senior: Use workstation la!
Guy: Oh. Forgot.
So he went back and try again. And again, and again. But cannot. So now really no face dee, he slinked back to the senior.
Guy: (whispering) Cannot la. Cannot use workstation.
Senior: (in loud voice) Can la. You no use only.
Guy: But I use Student Student cannot.
Senior: Use USER la.
Guy: But what the password.
Senior: Nothing.
Guy: Huh?
So finally the senior went up there to help the juniors log on. The guy, face red and dignity gone said good bye and ran off.

Talk about a courting game going wrong.


Yesterday was the registration of the M2/04 Juniors. Looking at them, it reminded me off me a year back when I first came for my registration.

20th August 2003. I drove here from Klang at 10. I could still remember that I was driving at 130kph and there was this police he was setting up the speed trap camera. Haha. And then parking outside of B, i went to the MPH area to register.
Almost every of Taylors PM5 was surprised to see me. Everyone thought I was rejected and was not accepted. Shalini K was like "You here for what? To visit us?"
Jody was lagi blur. I took my papers and cos I need my dad's signature I had to call him to come. I could remember Jody saying: Register the next day la.
And i was like telling him that the registration is today.
He thought I was registering for the next intake. He is always blur. Havent change a bit!

And I could still remember all the little pranks I played. Like laughing when Peter Pook introduced himself, and I was just five seats from where he stood. And of course there was the time I was scolded by the Pook himself for wearing sports shoes. The next day I walked barefooted in front of him and he cannot say anything because he was with some parents and there is also the orientation thingy. Hahaha!!

Time flies and now I am in my Respi system. But I haven't change a bit no? Won't want to change. Hahaha...

Gonna sign off now. Got to study for Respi exam. And till next time,

Time flows like a river and history repeats.

Updates of the Week...

It's been quite an interesting week, this week. Almost everyday has something happening. And so today, my dear passengers, what your captain intend to do is fly the plane from Monday to yesterday, and of course this morning. And getting down to business right away...


Monday, 16/8

The day started with me waking up at the ungodly hour of 6.30 to prepare for a trip to Nilai. I could have easily taken the LRT and sleep on the train, but that would be a blardy waste of RM10. Why waste when you can claim RM25 from IMU? Afterall RM25 is only like 0.001% of my RM24000 which I pay every term!

So we met up in front of IMU, the girls would be following me, while the guys... let's say that they are gentlemen and they decided to take the train. And it was unto the highway. Everyone in my car was snoring away, and I was so tempted to just close my eyes and let the car drift along. Sigh... but I as the driver holds enormous responsibility to get my passengers safely to Nilai. So it was me driving along, nodding off sometimes... But thank God for Sarah who kept me company. We reached the little town of Nilai at bout 8am. And as we parked, we saw the guys coming to meet us. Apparently they had just got down from the train.

Surprisingly, the whole visit wasn't that bad. We first met up with this Dr. Praba who gave us a brief lecture and then sent us off to our designation area. Simple as that. I spent about 20 mins with Peter at the registration area. Had some fun searching for the cards. And then the sister came and we talked to her as we observed this cute little boy on the nebulizer. The talk went on to about 10, and finally,
Sister: Any questions?
Hanisyam: Boleh balik skrang? (can go back now?)
Sister: Tak boleh la. But you leave at 11.30 la.
All : Ok.

But the moment she left, we grabbed our bags and hanged around before taking leave at 10.30am.

It was a fruitful visit.


Right after lecture, I rushed down to Klang for my best friend's birthday party. It was indeed a gathering of good, old friends. She would be leaving soon to LSE anyway, so must at least celebrate her last year of teens. We had steamboat, and it was a time of real good fellowship and laughter. It was good to be back with these old guys. MohGee with her dripping sarcasm, JunWei with his idiotic bantering with ImKiat, SeowWoon who is so PINK! and then blur FeiLing who still remained blur. And of course Ah Pin and Kok Hau, the inseparable couple. Hahaha!!!

After the steamboat, we went to Cass's house to like hang around. We look through old picture albums, laughed at how funny we looked when we were young. Sigh... the good old days. When we were like little kids, we planned our futures together, hoping to stay together. But now... everyone is flung across the world, to the north, the south, the east and the west. Everyone I knew is going everywhere, while I stay here and slave through my studies...

Would have stayed longer, if not for the blardy PBL on the next day.


Tuesday 17/8
Woke up again at another ungodly hour of eight to arrive just in time for PBL. My brain ain't no working so well in such idiotic hours. The whole PBL just like flew over my head. I was half asleep.
Khalesh: What's the difference between Hematemesis and Hemoptysis?
Me: (I started acting.) One is vomitting blood (pretend to vomit, making all that disgusting sound) Another is cough blood (began to cough violently).
Khalesh: But in Hindi movie you can't really differentiate.
Me: You hit the person, and blood come flying! (started spewing blood everywhere)

Khalesh: Have you done an autopsy before?
Me: Watched, not yet do.
Khalesh: So you know how to perform an autopsy?
Me: Sure. (acting like the chef. You know, spinning the knife before whacking it down hard, like trying to severe a cow's head)

Khalesh: What are the causes of losing 15kg?
Me: Overdosing of slimming pills.

All in all, I was quite lame that morning.


In CSU, the most remarkable thing happened. ShuJin got scolding from TinOng. She was quite frustrated with it, and I can't blame her. Everyone knows TinOng got a bit problem right? Actually, he has a lot of problems!!!!

And I can understand the trauma a perfect student like ShuJin undergoes when they are scolded by a lecturer. I mean, these student seldom gets scoldings. Take for example Grace, Richard, YeanKoon... the list goes on, when they get reprimanded, they get really heated up and defensive.

Me? The scolding goes in one ear and exit the next in approximately 0.1 second. Sometimes, it just goes right over my head. Donno whether thats good or not. Hehe.


Wednesday 18/8
This time woke up at 10 to go for futsal. And it was Shiah Ning's Birthday. And we played futsal at Bukit Jalil Stadium. We were playing monkey when suddenly Seow Yee Lein asked for volunteers to act in this moive he is making for their Moral Studies project.

So we all gung ho only got chosen... to play the losing team. It was super hilarious. We started the film by acting our cheer which is quite funny and then the play offs! It was simply ridiculous, and so damn funny!!! We staged different scenes, like the one where I was supposed to defend Zi Sien and she was doing this exaggerated feint, and I just let her go?!!!! Or Yean Koon just stands there and let Theresa kick the ball around her?!!!

I couldn't stop laughing!!!

And then the national team comes, with Soon Liang as the coach and Ken Lin as their star player. They even filmed the part wherer they got out of their Altis and walked up the stairs like super macho players.

Can't wait to see the movie which is at 2.45 today.


Then there was CG, which was really interesting.
Adeline: Who can tell me what is spur?
Me: The star shape things cowboys wear on their boots.
Adeline: O...K.... and what are those spurs for?
Me: To torture the horses?

We had a heated discussion and Adeline gave us this verse. Acts 2: 42 - 47
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

Pay attention to verse 45. Doesn't it sound like some propaganda for communism? Richard and I pointed it out. Afterall, communism's motto is: all men are equal, in wealth and in ranks.


Had Paul Jambu's lecture in the afternoon, quite hilarious too. And then there was Paul Chen. And God, that was like the most boring lecture ever. Even Yean Koon slept off!!! That is like the surprise of the century. You know Chan Yean Koon, that super smart and studious girl? Who listens to every word the lecturers said… she fell asleep. That goes to prove that Paul Chen’s lecture is BORING!


And you guys remember the story of Belly-Lally? The one I reported a few days ago? Well, there’s been a news flash.

It was reported that 2 Afghanistan men has entered IMU on Wednesday. They had received passes from the guards with the excuse : Mau jumpa Boss. And once in IMU, they headed right up to the library. Many of the students saw them, many was approached to be asked for money.

But in reality, they are actually men of this rich oil sheikh named Abdullah Restulaman. They were here to find for the famous Belly Lally. Apparently, she had not return during the week end as she was supposed too, and this sheikh was quite disappointed, so he sent his men to every medical university in msia as they did not know where she is studying. Their slang, dialect and language is different from Malaysian malay, so the ppl they talked to has mistaken their question of “Do you know where is Belly-Lally?” as “Do you have money?”


Thursday, 20/8
Nothing much happened on that day. Had Victor Lim's lecture and I sat beside Adeline. The whole lecture thru, you could hear us cursing at each other. We played hangman, tickled each other, wondered what Victor thinks about it.


This morning
Has usual, PBL... which was quite boring, other than a few warnings given by Khalesh bout the OSCE exams.
Question: What is the color of the urine?
Answer: Teh O color.

Question: Please palpate the abdomen.
Student proceed to meraba-raba the whole abdomen and the patient just lie there enjoying it.

Then during lunch he told us about his viva exam, which I do not is true or not. But this is the extent of it.
Apparently, viva examiners can get really bored asking the same old questions.
Examiner: Do you watch football?
Khalesh: (wondering where the hell this is going) Yes.
Examiner: What is your favourite team?
Khalesh: Erm... Manchester United?
Examiner: Good! That's my favourite team too. Hmm... You do know that I have to at least ask you one microbiology question before I let you go.
Khalesh: Yes.
Examiner: Spell bacteria.
Khalesh: B-A-C-T-E-R-I-A
Examiner: Good, you can go.
He scored 18 out of 20 for his microbiology viva.


Ok, I think this blog is long enuff. Going off to sleep before going to watch the movies. So till next week, good weekend.

Time passes, people move.
Like a river's flow, it never ends.
A childish mind will turn into noble ambition,
young love will become deep affection.
The clear water's surface reflects growth...

Adeline's Birhtday Party!!!

Adeline Gong is 21 already. Finally considered an adult. But does things change? I say no! Cos I still will bully her and she makes a very nice bullying target, hahaha!!!

After that debate on Saturday, all of us rushed down to PJ to celebrate Adeline's b'day. She is hosting a birthday party and the reason she did not come with us to adjudicate for the tournament was : she needs to prepare food for the party.

So we drove down to PJ, tailing after Richard again. And we reached her hse at 8, which is very late actually, considering the party started at 6.30. We had fellowship, we sat around discussing the debate, then it's games time!!!!

It started out with everyone sitting in one big circle. And the game which is so damn hilarious is actually a game created by ... hm... joanne izzit? Adeline? This game starts off with a person in the center, calling out either 'James Bond' or 'Toilet Bowl' or 'William Hung' at another person. And this person and the people on his left and right was to do something, depending what is being called.
James Bond - the person is to act like James Bond while the people on his sides were to be like the Bond girls and make sexy noises as they hug him.
Toilet Bowl - the person is to act like he is having constipation while the people on his sides were to flush it.
William Hung - the person is to act like William Hung, singing She Bangs while the people on his sides scream "WILLIAM HUNG" like some maniacal fans.

So at first, this guy was called out to be James Bond and Shi Ching happened to be on his side, so Shi Ching put on a really melodramatic Bond girl act, even running his leg up the guy's legs. Then Sheena was called to be Toilet Bowl and man, she really looked like she had trouble getting rid of the feces in her. Hehehe...

After a few rounds of that, we finally have another game which we call the Question Game. But we were first divided into 2 groups: IMU and Adeline Church friends. We, the m2/03ians gathered round and did our cheer with Sheena leading us.
We are, we are,
M2 - ow! - 03 - ow!

We were like trying to frighten the church people.
Sheena: Everyone say, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Which all of us did!

Then there was the debate whether Collin is in our group or theirs as he is IMU and yet attend the Church. It was a simple solution.
Yee Pei: Do you spend more time in IMU or your Church?!
Ouch, that is so true. But then one can easily argue, as I pointed out: Do you spend more time in Christ or in IMU?

But I digress.

The game goes like this:
1. A scenario is first given.
2. Then the two actors will then act out their parts, and their lines are to be questions only. No statements whatsoever.
3. The loser is the person who is the first to make a statement, or hesistate.

Example: A husband comes back home late at night. The wife questions him.
Wife: Why you come back so late?
Husband: Why must you know?
Wife: Don't you know you must answer to me?
Get the drift?

IMU people were quiet gungho. We after all have four debaters on our side. The debaters started practicing, going:
Is there a need for it?
Is this the way to go about it?
Why this mechanism?


So the first person to go up is Sheena (our star debater) and this guy named Chu Way.
The scenario: The girl is sitting on the bench looking at the beautiful moon. The guy comes along to court her.
(Sheena actually likes the guy. And the guy looks a bit like Ericsson Chia.)
CW: (walking confidently towards Sheena) Hey, is that the moon?
S: Aren't the stars shining brightly tonight?
Blah...blah...blah...
S: Why are you asking all this questions?
CW: What questions?
S: Don't you love me?!!!
CW: Don't you already know?!!!
S: Do you like breaking my heart?!!
Adeline's uncle came up to pretend to hit the guy.
CW: Why did you ask your father to hit me?!
S: Isn't he YOUR dad?!
CW: It is your dad, right?
S: Is that your mother too?
CW: Isn't that your mother?!
S: Did you ask all your relatives to come and watch too?!

Sufficient to say, Sheena won. You guys should be there to see the actors expression.

Then of course who can forget TJ who is so cool and calm.
The scenario: The brother steals his sister doll. The sister interrogate him for it.
Girl: Why did you take my doll?
TJ: (hands across chest, leaning against pillar looking all cool) What doll?
Girl: You like my doll izzit?
TJ: What is the proof I stole your doll?
Girl: Why are you denying it?
TJ: What proof do you have that I'm denying it?

I couldn't remember much for it is too funny. Ask TJ to tell you bout it, no? TJ lost on technicalities. He hesitated for a moment. But then it was one of the best shows.

And of course, your captain went up there too to fight.
The scenario: The children playing on the seesaw. The girl fell off. THe mother comes to scold the boy and the two children pushed accusation at each other.
Me: Why you let me fall down?!
Boy: Why you sit on seesaw then?
Me: Cannot meh?

I don't really remember what i said too, but I won!!! And i get to challenge Adeline to a match.

The scenario: You are at Adeline's party and people are staring at you. You speak to Adeline about it.
Me: Why is everyone staring at me?
Adeline: Why you so perasan?
Me: You do know when people are like staring at you right?
Adeline: Don be so perasan can or not?
Blah... blah... blah...
Me: Is there a NEED for this conversation?
Adeline: Don't you know you started it?
Me: Is this the WAY to go about it? Is this the WAY you treat your friend?!

The last two questions are essential questions in a debater's speech, so there you have two debaters going against each other. And we were like tangoing back and forth. Everytime we ask a question, we move forward, while our oppoent moves back. And vice versa. And it was a tie with both of us too overcame by laughter to continue.

Then we had the cake, singing loudly and laughing. And then of course the M2/03 tradition. Where we push the candle deep into the cake and get the B'day girl to pull it out. And so she did! And with such expertise that she did not get any cream on her nose at all. Not fair!!!

It was about 11.30 when we finally started moving. For the debaters, it was a really tiring day. But it was fun. And Adeline told me that her parents find me cute, but naughty. Hmm... wonder how to take that.

And I just realise sth. I left my Tshirt in her hse. DAMN!

Anyway, Adeline, you are 21, but nothing changes for I still like bullying you. And I dedicate this short anecdote to you.
Once upon a time, there was this village deep in the mountains. In the village square there was a large gong that was rung every good occasion. The villagers call this gong, Adeline.



Know the shame of your own ignorance before you accuse others.

My First Away Debate Competition

As you guys know, your captain went to her very first away from IMU Debate Competition. And wow! What an eye-opener. We saw pretty cool people, some bitches, some assholic adjudicators... you know...
This happened on Saturday. Many of you may have read about Saturday on Adeline Gong, Yee Pei or Sheena's blogs. So why not I too, bring you a version of the day, my very own version.

I stayed up late that Friday night. The Olympics was supposed to be opened at 1.45am Malaysian time. My sibs and I decided to watch it, so we waited with eager anticipation from 12pm. I settled down with a book to read and at 1.45am, I crept into my sisters' room to wake them up. But they did not budge at all. So i was a little afraid to go downstairs to the dark TV room, so i decided "Screw it, I rather sleep." But I did not sleep and ended up finishing the book at about 2.30am. Was about to start the next book (i finished book1 of a trilogy) when i realised that it was so late and I had debate competition the next day, so rolled into bed.

Woke the next morning at 6.30am. First thought was "Holy shit. I'll never be able to debate!" I took a quick shower to wake myself up and collected a few notes that I tot may help for the debates. Had breakfast and left the house at 7am. Got to school at 7.45am, just in time to pick the rest of the teams up. YeePei, me, Sheena formed the IMU1 group, while the guys, Rahman, Richard, Vasan are IMU2. Our sole adjudicator, Che Chu Kin also came along, entreated (forced and threatened) by Sheena.

Then we were ready to roll. The girls enter my car, the guys in Richard's, and we depart on the perilous journey to UPM Serdang. Why I say perilous... it's because we, the girls, were tailing the guys' car, and any sane females will tell you how bad the sense of direction of the male species is. And in the leading car, we have a whole bunch of guys without any sane female in their midst. But to our mild surprise, we made it to UPM together.

Then, thats when the fun starts. First off all, Sheena directed us to the Pendtadbiran area. But after waiting like dungus in front of an empty hall, she finally realized that she had mistaken Administration for Academic, as the competition is at the Academic Centre, not the Administration Center.

So Sheena called up the person-in-charge who directed us to point A (dark blue spot) and there we waited again like fools before she gave him another call. This time he directed us to somewhere, saying something about bright yellow buildings and large carparks. So we followed his directions. (See pink lines) We travelled on, until we came to the open fields and there was nothing but a small wooden hse in the middle of nowhere, and it doesn't take a genius to know that we were lost. So we U-turned and purposely went against the traffic, trying to find our way again.

At point B (green spot) we were intercepted by this security guard with a huge bike and looking so much like a policemen. He gave us a short scolding, then realizing that we were lost, he agreed to take us to our destination (the circled area). So we followed after him(green line) and made it there at 8.45am.

The map shows our journey. And I forgot to mention, the guys are tailing us this time. I know ppl will start arguing that the girls got the guys lost and all, but let me tell you, the person giving us the directions is a guy, so I stand by my stand that Guys have Bad Sense of Directions.

Total no. of three-point-turns : 5.

And then the motions of the day. [A vs B = Gov vs Opp = Pro vs Con = For vs Against]

Round 1.
IMU1 vs Monash - THBT prostitutes should pay income tax.
UKM3 vs IMU2 - THBT homosexuals cannot be priests.

Outcome & Highlights:
IMU1 won! The adjudicator actually have to go "Pls do not add personal insults."
Sheena (in her speech): On the opposition side, we have 3 rich and pampered boys, who do not understand the psychy of women, thus still having no girlfriends.
3rd speaker from Monash: I do not have a girlfriend, cos I'm married.
All of IMU1: Ouch.
3rd speaker from Monash: I'm not rich and pampered. I'm on scholarship.
All of IMU1: Ouch.


IMU2 lost by a margin of 1 point. So close. Vasan got Best Speaker.
Speaker from UKM3 : Homosexual priests conduct sins. They are sin conductors.
Richard pretend to be a conductor, waving his hands around.

Richard: Empowerment!!! Priests are people who are respected. When homosexuals become priests, other homos in the world will not be stigmatized!


Vasan: What am I going to do today. I'm going to contra and contrast... blah, blah...
Adjudicators: Hmm... that's what we want.
Vasan: (continue to talk and finally did not contra and contrast at all)
That won him the Best Speaker.


Round 2.
(forgot) vs IMU1 - THBT suing university students swapping music files using P2P networking is justified.
IMU2 vs IIU5 - THBT the castration bill is a outrage.

Outcome & Highlights:
IMU1 lost. We have a stupid adjudicator whose phone kept on ringing eventhough we are speaking. We had to keep our own time becos his hp is busy. He did not even to listen to us as we speak. All in all... this debate was a disappointment.
The points of 68 is given to speakers who goes up there, say good evening, smile and say nothing for six minutes, then say thank you. I got 68.
(forgot): We as the gov will propose status quo.
Everyone knows that the gov can't propose status quo.
Idiotic Adjudicator: Yes, gov can propose status quo. And this is a value judgement debate.
What? Everyone knows that during a value judgement debate, you don't propose anything.


IMU2 won! With the maximum margin allowed. Vasan won Best Speaker again.
IMU2: We want to surgically castrate repeated sex offenders, not first timers, as we believed in giving second chances.
IIU5: No, we say no to surgical castration. We want to give chemical castration.


Round3.
UKM3 vs IMU1 - TH would censor SMS messages.
IMU2 vs Putra - THBT employee's electronic communication surveillance is justified.

Outcome & Highlights:
We won!! Looking at the motion itself, which indeed is a stupid motion. Who in the world want to censor SMS messages?!!!
UKM3 1st speaker: We will censor SMS messages that contains sexual images. We intend to censor SMS messages of 7 years old to 18 years old. We intend to do it by using FBI/CIA technology. It is because SMS messages containing sexual contents will lead to sexual crimes.
Hmm... one would wonder... 7 years old sending sexual messages? Who in the world would send sexual messages to a 7 year old. And 7 year olds going out to rape people? Or 7 year olds getting turned on by pixellated pictures of sex scenes?
UKM3 2nd speaker: At the age of 7, hormones start raging.
Me: Hormones start raging at 7? Please do not bluff. On the opposition side of the house, you have a panel of 3 MEDICAL STUDENTS. So please do not bluff.

Me: Fine, censor SMS msges. But no SMS msges, there is still voyeuristic pornography. If don't have pornography, there is still Playboy. If no Playboy, they just rub their own dick!

Me: Where is the privacy? I am 18. My boyfriend is 18 too. So if I send a message "I want to muak muak you tmr..." my msg will be censored!


IMU2 lost with 2 points margin. Vasan did not get Best Speaker this time. Instead...
Adjudicator: You are very rude!

Doesn't that makes the rest of M2/03 rude?


And that's the end of the competition. No finals, no semis, sad. And talking on and on, i haven't touch on Che Chu Kin, our lone adjudicator. This is his 2nd time adjudicating, and he was placed on single panel! Meaning, he alone judge the entire debate. Donno what to say about that.

And finally the rankings. IMU1 got 15th out of 30. IMU2 got 18th out of 30. Which is good, considering that we are amateurs and going against giants. As for speaker rankings out of 90:
Vasan - 27
Richard - 59
Sheena - 60
SANG Yee Pei - 72
Abdul Rahman - 74
Elena How - 80

Sigh...

I think this is enuff for the day kua... will blog again later on Adeline's B'day party. Till then...

Oppressing the people is easy, but ruling them is a different thing.

At the End of the Day...

Tis now already 9.30pm. For me, it's almost the end of a very long day. Was up at 9, and then in IMU by 12 for lunch. And there was the chaotic debriefing session that saw our batch rep mowing Sister Tanah and Dr. Rafidah to the grounds. She really hated KKB i think. You guys would be shivering at the amount of sarcasm dripping between her words. Our group, the legendary group C that pontenged two days, were practically hiding under our tables in fear of wat the Dr. Rafidah would say.

But I can see her words worked. Rafidah rebutted most of our points, but there was one point that i believed hit the mark, hit the weakest point of the KKS thing. The thing she questioned was is there a need for KKS? Afterall, we already have Klinik Kesihatan Mantin / Nilai / Cheras Baru / etc visits. I see no difference in KK Serendah, other than it has a better building...

Right after our group's speech, the other groups began to say good things about the rotation posting. Izzit just me, or that is just sucking up? Cos I certainly wonder why KKS could be so interesting. Yes, fine you guys watch TV in KKS. I bet it's better if you guys watch the TV back home. Yes, fine you guys went to the waterfall (aka parit besar) but that has nothing to do with KKS.


But let's not argue it out now. I just had a debate which only showed how I dis-improved in my debating skills (tat is if i had any). And your captain is going for her first away Inter-Varsity Debate to UPM and prepared to make a fool of herself. But then there is also my teammates to consider, so I will TRY my best to to do my best. God HELP ME!!!!

The motion of the day is Dominance harms the sport. We on the gov side defined the sport as F1 and the dominance of the Ferrari team is killing the sport. Which i truly and wholeheartedly agree.

I used to watch F1. I used to bet on F1. My favorite team is McLaren cos I trully believe tat their drivers are better than that stupid Michael Shoemaker. But last time, there was challenge. I did not know who would win the race. I could bet and still must pray that Hakkinen win. But now... I could just bet on M.Shoemaker and not even caring, i would win. I did not have to watch the race to know MS won. Gone is the excitement, gone is the eagerness. What is left is just a dull feeling and tat little glimmer of hope that young Raikonen would salvage McLaren's pride again...

So I agree that dominance of MS in the sport has dulled the sport so much that we ignore the champion and bet on the runnerups instead. Sigh...


I would have to go soon. Jeremy lended me the SouthPark series and by God, it is so hilarious. Yesterday I just watched the first episode: Cartman Gets An Anal Probe, which is so hilarious. Check out Cartman's fiery fart:

This is a recommended show for everyone!


Come tomorrow... I'm going to introduce you guys to this artist my friend introduced me to. Got to go soon. Them are chasing all of us out...

Good night.

Their minds are not hollow. I think that their minds
are just out to lunch for a little awhile...

Belly-Lally

Today, your captain is not going to fly you anywhere. Instead, I'm going to tell a story I heard yesterday.


Belly-Lally (pronounced be-li la-li) is a fourth year medical student. Many people used to wonder why is she called Belly-Lally, but that is because they do not know that Belly-Lally is a very famous belly-dancer.

She is a BELLY Dancer, not a BALLET dancer, as many people mistaken BELLY dancing to BALLET dancing.

She is based in Saudi Arabia, and she has fans from all over the world that would come to Arabia just to see her perform. She has performed for Sheikhs and Sultans, Kings and Emperors, and she is paid in GOLD BARS. Not Oil, not myrrh, not Arabian currency, not US currency, not Sterling Pound, but in GOLD BARS. The Oil, the myrrh, the Currencies, they are but gifts for these excellent belly-dancer.

She has a big palace with swimming pools, fountains and huge gardens. And this Palace, Belly-Lally's Pally is situated in a place that not many knew about. There is a room filled to the brink with GOLD BARS, so much that it could easily rival Fort Knox and the Swiss Bank added together. And in the palace's Royal Theatre is where Belly-Lally performs for the powerful people of the world. Royalties from all over the World meet here to see her perform. Scantily-clad, Belly-Lally seduced and charmed these men of Power. It has been said that Belly-Lally holds the power of the world in her hands and her dancing, that it was her dancing that decides the fate of this world.

Rumour has that, her biggest fans are people like Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat, Ariel Sharon, Mahathir Mohammad and the recently deceased Hamas Leader. George Bush Junior, Tony Blair and Colin Powell has been said to frequent Belly-Lally's Pally. It has also been rumoured that the cause of the Iraq War was actually because Belly-Lally had belly-danced on Saddam Hussein's lap instead of George, so out of jealously, Georgie-Boy had attacked Iraq to lay claims on this fabulous belly-dancer.

But, as far as rumours go... who knows?

But I digress.

At the age of 21, Belly-Lally was forced by her parents to come down to Malaysia to take up the course of Medicine. Don't ask me why, but parents can be crazy sometimes, so Belly-Lally came to Malaysia to start her medical course. She disappeared for two months, two freaking months, and wars started exploding right and left. Her fans were in an uproar, the press was going crazy finding for Belly-Lally. Everyone insisted that she returned to continue her career of belly-dancing, for only then peace would prevail.

So pressured by her peers, her fans and the entire world population, Belly-Lally now returns to Saudi Arabia every weekend to perform for her fans. She is now still famous, her number of fans are still growing.

Belly-Lally will one day pass on,
But her legend will still carry on.


To Belly-Lally.


I got this story yesterday from Belly-Lally's public relationship officer, and confirmation when Belly-Lally herself made a presence in front of me and my mates. I got to speak with the magnificent Belly-Lally, and whoa... it is just so cool.

And now, it's back to lectures.

You have to understand, TJ.
Girls are supposed to prevent boys from having fun.
It's just their nature.

I am now a 2nd Year Medical Student!!!

Yes, your captain is now 2nd year Medical Student, along with my fellow passengers from IMU M2/03. Finally!!!!


Today's the start of our new semester, and I shiver at the thought of the blardy exam that is placed right after that new semester. And entering, this new sem... new things happen too.

For one, I shifted into a new Apartment. Its B2-15-8. To some it may look familiar as your batch rep's apartment is at B2-15-2, which is down the corridor.

The other thing, the VMU is now officially on, and our batch is being split into two. Gone is the unity in the batch, gone is the harmony and the togetherness in M2/03 that had won us the Elephant Cup last year. Gone!!! One might think that this is a ploy by the AAD to split our batch, for they know that M2/03 is too strong for them to handle. They think that M2/03 might cause an uprising to over throw the administration of IMU. So they split the batch, separating us so we cannot plan any revolution.

(I think I'm exaggerating here alot, but as AGong said, Exaggeration is part of a good writer's skill.)

And of course the last thing... I am now a 2nd Year Medical Student. I can't believe i managed to survive one freaking year sweating my ass out on exams.
I can still remember one year ago, the start of a new life (should I say the end of life as I know it) here at IMU. Here, I met new friends, comrades in the battlefield of exams, buddies that are with me thru it all, ups and downs, thick and thin, all having one goal on our minds - To finish Medical School. Together, we had charged over No Man's Land into the enemies' frontlines. Together, we had defeated every adversary that crossed our path. Some had fallen, we mourn for them; some had triumphed, we praise their names.
And today, at the start of a new semester, we all stand as proud survivors, hardened proud students of a glorious batch, determined to march into the war that would leave many casualties, crack the most hardened heart, and have grown men and women crying with either joy or sorrow.
So, my fellow batchmates, lift your heads up high and raise our banner of triumph. For this is the day, we, Members of M2/03, march onwards into the battlefield of Semester 3. This is the time, my friends, the time that will decide the fate of mankind. We shall triumph!!!


Gosh... that is just so lame. But what the heck... Tis true, many things have happened in just that one year of our medical life. I'm sure most of my M2/03 pals would have blog about it... but lemme just point out a few major things that happened to me in this past medical year.

1. I was mascot for M2/03 Cheerleading Team, and made a fool of myself. Yet I still want to be mascot this year.

2. I took part in NHSD (National Health Sciences Debate) together with Richard as my teammate, and we made fools of ourselves. We are the only team that got a consistent ZERO throughout the whole debate. Its British Parliamentary style and first round itself we went against the giants of the Malaysian Debate Circle. Debaters would know what I'm talking about.

3. I ran for SRC and made another fool out of myself. But it was fun.

4. I took part in IVF (Intra-Varsity Friendly) Debate with Grace and Vasan on my team. And we won!!! Finally something good. We met the team that was to go to the Asians Debate Championship in the Finals, and totally thrashed them. HAHAHA... now who do you think is supposed to go to the Asians? Hah!!

5. I managed to past all exams... Whoa, that's a miracle come to think of it.

6. I started up a blog?

7. I got chased out from CSU. That was really recent, but hell.

8. I learnt how to Scuba Dive for electives. It was great and I advice my passengers to try it.

Let's try to make it a ten-thingy.

9. I became a god-mother to a monkey - Fernando.

10. I made great friends.



And since this is the start of a new sem, maybe I'll revamp my blog, or maybe not. Will see... And for this sem, there are resolutions to make.

1. Will pass all exams, including the final one at the end.

2. Spend more time with books, studying.

3. Spend less time on the computer.

4. Blog only 2 times per week, study rest of the time.

5. Finish most of the story books i borrowed.

6. Finish watching animes that are borrowed from Michelle Tan.

7. Don't fall asleep in lecture. Pay attention, even if the lecturer is an asshole and is boring you to death.

8. Don't insult lecturers - in their faces. Can insult somewhere else.

9. Be a model Senior.

10. Be a good friend, a good student, and stay the same.


So 10 resolutions. And there is of course the aims for this coming Sem.

1. Have the best Variety Night ever.

2. Make sure m2/03 wins IMU cup.

3. Win IMU cup for Female Football Event.

4. Win IVF again.

5. Try to break thru for NHSD. Or at least be better than the seniors.

6. Get into World Debating Championship and try to break thru into quarter finals.

7. Pass every exam.

8. Pass End of Semester Exam.


So hopefully, with God's Blessings and God's Grace, all this 8 ambitions would be fulfilled. And the 10 resolutions, wanna bet I'll forget them next week? Hehehe...


Do you guys know the game "She likes ____ but do not like ____" The aim of the game is to find out what she likes and what she doesn't likes while the person who provides the question will gift a list of things she likes and the things of she doesn't like. For example
"She likes apple, but doesnot like orange."
"She likes swimming, but doesnot like water."
And you have to guess what else she likes and what else she doesn't like. So we were playing it just now with Zosimo Ken and Peter during lunch. The extent of the conversation goes:

Me: "She likes swimming, but she does not like ...er... drowning."
TJ: "Me too."

Me: "She likes Ken Rhee, but do not like Ken.
Zosimo: "She likes Adeline, but doesnot like Ken."
Richard: "No, she does not like Adeline. No one likes Adeline."
Everyone laughed.
Adeline: "She likes Ken Rhee, but doesnot like Richard. No one likes Richard."
Adeline: "She likes Sheena, but doesnot like Richard."
Adeline: "She likes YeanKoon, but doesnot like Richard."

So it went on and on about no one likes Adeline and no one likes Richard. It was hilarious. You guys should have been there.


Ok, almost time to go for lectures. Damn, three freaking lectures to go. This just sucks. Good thing I brought a book to read. Oops, forgot my resolution No.7. But for today, can lar... I'll practicing my resolution tomorrow. Promise. *Keeps fingers crossed*


Now, the final part of my blog, I would like to dedicate it to my dad and baby sister, Angelina. She turned 6 yesterday (8/8) and today is my dad's birthday. So Happy Birthday Daddy. Me love you alot!!

So I'm leaving you guys stranded on the transit area with this quote:
