Happy New Year everyone, peeps, dawgs, niggas, machas, tangechis, bros, sistas, whatever you people call yourselves these days, say ‘Hello’ to 2007. Hhhmm, I know I’m almost a month late but what the heck, does it matter anyways? =) Oh and no matter what you Chelsea or Liverpool fans say, Manchester United will no doubt clinch the Barclay’s English Premier League title with ease this season, I just know it, my gut tells me it will happen this season, you’ll see. On another note, finally, I’m having my long awaited holidays after almost a year of working my butt off, drenching myself in pails of sweat and yes, blood too, metaphorically speaking, no thanks to the big-ass-mother-of-all-big-asses-EOS 3 exams. I’ve had to go through so much misery and so much pain, literally. The amount of breakdowns I’ve had, both mentally and physically were countless over the months. In short, the End Of Semester 3 exams was an absolute killer, probably the most demanding exam ever in my entire life up till today. Having to go through that much information, trying to cram everything into my tiny little brain, and, in such limited time is no joke at all. I’m just glad and relieved that it’s all over and done with. Semester 4, here I come. Semester 1 juniors, beware and be very afraid, you can run but you can’t hide. Heh.
Met up with a couple of my old pals yesterday, Hadri, Kok, Kumaran, and Richard, in alphabetical order in case they get jealous of each other. Had a fun time even though it was just a typical ‘yum cha-ing’ session at the mamak place. Feels nice to be able to hang out with friends who has been through high school life with you. It makes you think of how fast time flies by. You know, the kind of thoughts you get when you close your eyes and you see glimpses of your past, and by the time you open your eyes, everything is the way it is now. Looking back at all the funny things they did, it makes me laugh so hard that my tummy hurts. Heh. Kamdar, oh Kamdar… =P
Speaking of an entirely different topic, shopping that is, I need some advice.
1) Red, gray or black Topman hoodie?
2) white striped Nike polo or plain white Esprit polo?
3) Plain black FCUK t-shirt or black with gold print Quiksilver t-shirt?
The reason why I’m blogging, other than breathing some life into my almost dead blog, is because I have too much time on my hands (you’re jealous, aren’t you?), and to be honest, of late, it feels kind of awkward to pen down what I have in mind like right now, like what I’ve told Ellice and Fleur, I feel so… rusty, simply because it’s been years since I’ve last written a proper essay and that was way back when I was schooling at La Salle. For the past 1.5 years, I’m been acclimatizing to the use of medical jargon, so much so that it is displacing my vocabulary, be it in English or Malay. I often find myself trying to figure out the right things to say or rather the correct words to use. Heh. Okay, maybe it isn’t that bad, but I just feel so at lost of words lately. Perhaps I’m growing old, wait a second, to come to think of it, I have been rather forgetful lately… Die… =(
And now, moving on to more official business. Bringing on the great tradition of new years resolutions, it is only fair if I’d make a short list on this almost dead blog of mine to remind myself of what I should be doing and should not be doing this year.
1) I’ll make sure I follow my schedule and study everyday to keep up with the lightning pace of a medical student’s life. It isn’t the easiest of things to do but all I can only do is to try and to give it my best.
2) I’ll sleep at least 7 hours in a day. No more nocturnal lifestyle for me. Insufficient sleep can do so much damage and harm to the brain and the body as well. And my favourite, no more strolling around IMU like a zombie. =)
3) I’ll try to consume less coffee, to reduce my caffeine intake. This is probably one of the hardest thing to do, haha, I mean it’s like my daily requirement, nevertheless, I’ll reduce my intake but there’s no way I’ll stop. You can buy me coffee anytime. =P
4) I won’t skip lectures. Haha. I guess I’ll be able to accomplish this provided I don’t get too sick or high or something…
5) I’ll save more money for a rainy day to prepare myself in times of need. It’s harder than it seems with huge sales all over the place and around every corner these days, as well as ever-increasing costs of living. I guess I might be able to save up some 20 bucks a month perhaps? If I would only stop photostating Sue Ann’s notes because I day-dream all the time during lectures. It’s bad, it’s bad.
6) I’ll play hard to de-stress myself. This is very do-able. Hahaha…
7) Appreciate everything and everyone around me. Family, friends, the things I have in life. I’m just grateful that I’m able to live comfortably with wonderful people around me. I’d like to thank everyone who has ever been there for me whenever I was in need, thank you all so so much for lending a hand. You know who you are. =)
Clean up my room. Hhhmm this is tough, if only my brother would help out since we’re sharing a room.
9) I’ll blog more. Yup. Not that this pathetic blog of mine is that interesting, but you know what i mean. =) It’ll probably wouldn’t work out very well. Most likely more often than before but not on a daily basis. Unless you would want to pay me to blog regularly, if that’s what you want, be my guest, you’re welcome to do so, I’ll accept any payment (cash, coffee, or lunch) with open arms, no sexual services please, don’t even think about it Jaray. Eeww. Haha just kidding. =P
10) Last but not least, I’ll never stop loving the one person who stole my heart away from me right before my very eyes. No, David, it’s not you. No, John, it’s not you too. Even more so, I’ll love her more and more with each passing second for my feelings for her will never ever fade away, it can only become stronger as time takes its course. Thank you again for everything. =)
That pretty much wraps it all up, I think I’m tired enough to go to bed. It’s really cool leading my everyday life like what I’m doing now, without having to worry about studies or exams, at least for the time being. Will update again soon. Toodles everyone and have a very very happy new year. It’ll be a blast, trust me. Chao =)
