So yes, I am finally on holidays now. And as usual I do what I do best and basically try to turn my brains into mush by watching excessive amounts of shows and movies.
And shows really do have an effect on you, no, I'm not referring to the loss of knowledge. I've been on a Masterchef marathon lately. So when my plate of lamb shoulder was served, I cut a piece of meat and whilst cutting, I couldn't help thinking, this meat is kinda tough. Okay nevermind, so once the piece was cut, it was...not as pink as it was suppose to be. In other words, it turned out medium well instead of the medium I ordered. And the vegetables were boiled for too long, lost all taste, its like little pieces of pure fiber. Meh.
Watched The Notebook. And that is one sad sad movie. Good but sad.

Breathing. The first key step to surviving. Anything.
Then comes thinking. But from here, it can go two ways - to the bright side or the dark side. So cross your fingers and hope that you stay away from the dark side. Regardless of the fact that it may seem more inviting and tempt you with cookies.
And then it's just plain surviving.

But if you're one of those lucky people in the world, you'll have people alongside you helping you survive.
Even the smallest of smallest gestures matter.

I'm back. To the world of pure laziness and procrastination, oh wait, it doesn't have to be procrastination anymore because it doesn't count as procrastination if you don't actually have something to procrastinate from. Hehe..its a long sentence but hey, for someone like me, i now have the time to type that. And if you don't have time to read it..lol, its okay :)
Exams ended today. That was just four days of pure mental exhaustion. Studying all that about anatomy and physiology and pathology and microbiology and..whatever..is one thing but having to sit through exams, feel the panic of exams, go through exam stress, go through the omg-I-screwed-up-my-exam phase, its all just so incredibly tiring.
But yeay, its over now :) It's like now I realised, woah, I feel soo tired. I think its probably because I really am mentally exhausted and there's probably some sleep deprivation thrown into the equation of preparation for the exam. Though I did actually get enough sleep yesterday..hmm..
EXAMS OVER! :D

I am home! What better way to celebrate than to just submerge myself in the wonderful world of technology, and the comforts of my home?
So momentary indulgence aside, I actually really enjoyed the KKB trip. True enough, we were all pretty negative and being constant whiners on the first night there..but hey, it turned out pretty good anyway. Of course the actual hospital rotation work actually kinda bored me after the first two days, but the non-medical parts of the trip were the best part of it.
There was the company. I think I spent more than half of my time in KKB laughing like a hyena and going equally as insane as the crazy company I had. Seriously, the nonsense and crap that we did and crapped about. It's all just one big LOL.
Due to the unfortunate timing of my trip, I had to spend my birthday there. And that turned out to be the best part of the trip. For me anyway, haha, what do you expect, you're asking the birthday girl, I'm being biased. But I do think it really was the best birthday celebration I've gotten so far. *cue big cheesy smile*
Yippee, back to mugging for now then. The joy.

Rotations! Yeap, part and parcel of a medical student's life. I'll be leaving for Kuala Kubu Bharu in approximately 4 and 1/2 hours. Well..all I can prolly expect is..it's going to be one new experience for me.
Onto past matters, Acoustic Night is over thank goodness, now I can really start studying for my EOS and make sure I make it through without having to repeat. Actually I don't know if it should be thank goodness..the idea of mugging consecutively for 5 weeks..err, not too inviting.
Had my interview with a difficult patient, I got a long-winded patient. Honestly, it was quite fun. For me anyway, but that was probably because the patient I got was so nice as compared to the other patients the rest got which were, to be honest, quite frustrating. And apparently, I'm too nice..which makes me a dangerous doctor. Haha, well that's a first. First I was a heartless doctor who showed no empathy and now I'm too nice. Haha!
Actually..yea okay, I have no idea why I'm even blogging. Sometimes I do the randomest things. Like just now, I picked up "Dear John" and decided to just start reading it. Yea now. When the only things I should be reading is like..mama patho and lecture notes. I think it's some ingrained procrastination instinct I have, it just comes naturally. Haha, not exactly a good thing. Oh wells.
Goodbye to technology for 6 days & 5 nights, haha ~Mel

So the first thing I do when I got wifi when I got back home was open Facebook. And the first few things to welcome me home was a nice little squabble on my committee's page about an upcoming event. Brilliant.
I really don't get the point of going for a holiday when the moment you go for a holiday, you forget everything, or at least you try to forget and shut down your guilty conscience, and when you come back home and back to the sad sad reality of ordinary life, you get smacked in the face with a whole load of unresolved matters and a heck load of guilty conscience. Boom, there goes all that rest and relaxation.
These are the times when I just want to smack myself in the head and ask why on earth did I agree to being president. Not only do you have to ensure that everything runs smoothly, you have to make sure that the decisions that you make are the right ones. Which brings me to question my own decision as to if that's the right one. Which brings me to doubt myself and question my capabilities. Which brings me to the brink of wanting to resign from this damned post so that I can live slightly less stress-free.
Because really, it's not as if I already don't have enough to do. Already I'm behind on my studies, really really behind, which brings me to question again what was the point of that holiday. I'm behind in so many aspects of my life that I just want everything to just..STOP.
I think I've fallen into a deep pitch-black chasm of negativity.

Just finished my AIR topic, which is one of the very few assignments we have in IMU..haha. And I'm here for the sake of updating this blog. Well, that and I do miss writing. But not as if I have stuff to blog about. Well, I do, or more specifically, I had, but it's kinda like once you miss that ohmph to write then that's it?
Summary: Orientation is over, yes finally, sad but at least that load is off. And just when I think "it's time to focus on making it past sem 3" *BAM* I suddenly have a whole lot of things to do. I must have been slightly delusional at that point to think that I'll ever be "free" to focus on studies. It's always the same old pattern, one event after another, since...primary school? Haha. Fun no doubt but with consequences.
So what do I have in store for me?
My band's joining the english singing competition in uni, I got involved in the dance for Easter which means constant practices till 15th April (which is the day of the event), I got being in charge for an Inter-varsity Scrabble Competition which I have to organise and stress over till 16th April (day of event), and I have to make sure I don't flunk out of med school, which means me actually not drifting off into who-knows-where with me looking totally focused on what the lecturer is saying, which means me not doing stuff like...read storybooks, stare into utter blank space, BLOG when I'm supposed to be studying, I emphasize on the supposed.
My sis is coming back on the 19th April, which basically means all weekends are booked for eating and shopping, which is an awesome thing but not so awesome at the end of it when I realise that I'm lacking time, yet again. Haha. Then I'm heading to Hong Kong again on 29th April I think for more shopping and food.
Ahahaha..what did I get myself into. And this is so far. I predict a storm of events brewing and heading my way (especially concerning my band). Haha.
