RACS 2013 @ KLCC

Thanks To Alvin, we had the opportunity to work for RACS 2013 with a group of lovely Australians and surgeons from all over the world.

Everything was good. So far the is the best job ever.

Good Pay.
Endless Supply of Food. ( 4-5 meals a day)
Easy tasks.
Meet a lot of fun people.
Talk to surgeons.
See videos of operations.

Let's start with food. Breakfast>Morning Tea> Lunch> Tea Break

Fridge filled with different food each day. Problem is whether you can stuff them all in your stomach

drink all we can!

Buffet Lunch Everyday

And of course, desserts 

All of us worked really well with the Australians. We are so different in terms of speaking and the way we act. I learnt a lot from them.

When I met with some fussy surgeons, I will approach our technician, Lincoln so he could assist more technical matters. I told him that what's the problem and all.. and he replied me ''Lovely'' ''Small matter'' LOL!

Some inpatient surgeons...Lincoln walked over with a smiling face.

Lincoln: Hi, how are you doing? How is your day? It will just take awhile to fix the problem.

Surgeon:  *Looked pissed*

Lincoln: * Continue to talk politely and friendly while working on the problem*

Surgeon: *Started replying*

Me : *Impressed and admiring how Lincoln connected with the surgeon*

Lincoln: Done. Problem solved. 

I could not remember exactly what but all I know that Lincoln was not the only one that taught me everything can be solved in a proper manner. And the way we talked does matter a lot!!

The first few days, we did messed up a little. So by the end of the first day, we were gathered for a short feedback session. All of us knew that something was not right and aware that some of us did not perform accordingly so we were kinda scared for the feedback session.

''Thank you for your hardwork! Everyone did an amazing job! Without you guys, we will not end the first day successfully!''

At that moment of time, I felt bad and shocked rather than happy. We did wrongs and they were still praising  us. It made me want to perform properly the next day to not disappoint them.  That is one of the things why we enjoyed working with them so much.You don't often get this kind of treatment with our local bosses or supervisors.

Is just scoldings scoldings and scoldings. Thank you Andrew. Sorry for causing any troubles. You are an awesome boss!!

Photo session on our last day!

yeahhhhh

Meagan Mark and the girls

acting cute

See the smile on our faces

We won't let go the chance of snapping in toilet

haha trying hard to fit everyone into a picture

Us with our cute technician!

Lincoln, we did this for you and you did not do it with us :( Nevermind, since you are such a nice guy, I forgive you.

They actually got us souvenirs from Australia! everyone received a pen and a polar. I almost tear up. 

Thank you so much guys. Thank you for teaching us. Thank you for being such kind souls!

Although you guys normally run around for events, I do not think we will have chance to work like this. Please take care.

God Bless you guys!

Ceramah Before GE13!

I was thrilled by the fact that I finally attended a political related gathering! I have always wanted to be involved. Not to say I support any party in particular,
I want to make a change.
I want to contribute.
I want to get involved.
I want to tell my kids that I tried or at least did something.

What's on my mind when my mum asked me whether want to tag along? ' Screw exams!'


I kept telling my mother, '' I want to go but but but...aiyaa.. but... please come back by like 10pm!''

the crowd that night

People cheering!

peace!

Me, Mummy and sista

There was a need to snap non stop

Sis and I after the ceramah ended with a bunch of people

Spirited Crowd

I did not rush my mum to go back and stayed till the end. 

Did I regret? NO! #MalaysiaBoleh

Genting

This trip was long ago but this should be the first trip with a group of friends. Our initial plan was Redang and due to some problems, we changed to Genting. A place that youngsters must go while on a trip. Personally I been to Genting countless times, going with different people gives a different feeling each time.

Us being noisy as usual in the bus

Ps: We were noisy but then after awhile there was ' a moment of silence ' thanks to the awesome bus driver that drove so freaking fast and scary.

Prepared for outdoor theme park!

Waiting for our first ride

Thanks to An Qi, all of us laughed like crap during this ride. We were competing who can shout louder. As you can see, many of us sat this side. An Qi was at the another side but her screams were like HILARIOUS. hahahahahahahahaha. We were not the only ones that laughed. Too Funny!

Our Shoes were naturally messed up. Don't have to purposely do it

We are as pretty as flowers

I forgotten whose idea this was

:D

Drakie holding the cam as usual

Don't we look like angels ? 

Before we head back

Posing with bus

End with our group picture!

Not to forget, I remembered there were many stars at night. Love the weather there. Will head back there once awhile for some cold breeze.

Ps: The killer game we played at night was epic! I feel myself abit evil.

Serendah Sekeping Retreat

Wohoo! Having my sem break now and suddenly have the strong urge to write about places I traveled. Recently, I am getting really addicted and obsessed travelling around with friends. Love the feeling of gathering, relaxing and chit chatting. So first up, let me start with serendah sekeping.

Nowadays, when I meet up with friends, the topic that's on mind is vacation. I always ask about the places they went and any recommended spots for next sem break trip. Chien Ming told me that they had a class trip  in serendah sekeping. Through the way she described how the place was, I got really excited and thought it would be a nice place to gather in a big group there. 

By the way, to those that have not been to serendah sekeping. Please don't expect it to be those usual vacation spots with WIFI, Aircond, TV and those usual entertainment we will normally get which made me eager to visit it. 

As always before a trip, I am always stressed out. Quite a few of them could not make it and made things difficult for me but oh well... everything went well afterall! Ended up we chose 2 units of glass sheds! 

Once Reached, photo session time! 

ladies in the glass shed yo

do remember to bring mosquito repellent :O 

Open air toilet. You can peep on your friends xD but it isn't that bad

peace + rocker!

weeeeee

BBQ and chit chat place 

ladies in the kitchen. 

walking around the area. Not as big as I expected

There's a swimming pool but we just hang around :D After walking the whole area, we went back and look for food. All I remember about this trip is talk eat talk eat talk eat talk! Somehow I like this feeling very much. The line is not very good there. We must find the 'position' to make phone calls. Everyone was like indirectly asked to gather together to have a good chat. 

Not to forget that, the caretakers there were friendly. One of them went to the river and got a small catfish for BBQ. How sweet. After our awesome BBQ session, all of us gossiped till late night in the dark. It was very peaceful at night with river flowing at the side with insects around.

This trip was very enjoyable and hectic. We went really travelling and hopping from one to another. After a night stay in serendah, we took ETS to Ipoh and stayed in Danny's house and another night in Kampar. We were eating non stop. Thank you to Danny, An Qi and Jin Yi for offering places for us to there. 

Awesome trips ended with awesome memories! :D

如果你有听说

像那首歌里的歌词正是我想和你说的。

想起以前我们一起打打闹闹的日子，真的非常怀念。你喜欢酸我和我斗嘴。我记得有一次，我问你我有什么地方需要改进，你就跟我说：‘你很好很完美。没什么问题。因为我喜欢你，所以看不出你的不好’。当时的我不知所措，心有温温的感觉。

人家说失去后才知道自己是不是错。我有点同意这个说法。无可否认，你真的对我很好，好到我都不知道如何回你。我一直很自卑，觉得自己不好不值得。也因种种元素，想了又想，觉的我们没什么可能性，所以放弃了这段缘分。

不知道你知不知道，我真的记得我们一起的点点滴滴，也重没忘记过。只是那时，我摆出一副不理不睬的样子让你很伤心。是我的错。请原谅我。

我真的想和你说清楚，可是真的很难找对的时候很你好好的聊一聊。可能现在我的答案对你而言已经不重要，但我觉得我该好好和你说清楚。你好像过得不错，我很怕和你讲后，会造成你的困扰。

天啊～～～～下一步该如何是好呢？？

Happy and Sad

Wanting to write a post since I'm having sem break now.

Today! I'm really happy. Results out and I got 3.7778 average CGPA of 3.72! I'm proud of myself for actually doing real fine. no more the last minute pc that used to be freaking stressed up due to the last minute revision. Well, I still have headaches on and off due to high expectations of my results. Really stressful at times.

In the evening, I was planning to take an hour nap to rest my brain. After seeing a friend of mine updating his status saying results' out! I ran downstairs in the speed of light! shivering while the computer was turning on, I was actually really scared to see the figures. Cause I did studied for my exams, didnt try super duper hard but I definitely changed a lot as compared to last time. No more the excuses saying 'I worked and I studied but still can't achieve what I want'. I just realised a thing, I wasn't even working hard enough last time. Not even a bit! There I go, I'm glad I am on the right path now.

Back to the story, the moment I logged in the website and saw 3.7778! I was really really happy. Although initially i was hoping at least a 3.8 since I'm aiming for a scholarship, but we can't be too greedy. Didn't manage to get 3.8 but a 3.7778 is close enough. Enough to make me smile in front of the screen almost half the day like an idiot!

Not to forget, grats to my friend that got 4.0! I'm really happy for you! You are the man! :D I wonder whether will I able to get 4.0 next time but I will work for it. Doing some sort of calculations just now, to get at least 50% scholarship, I have to get at least a 3.88 next sem!! *I can do this. I can do this!*

Although I have been telling people that I will treat them a meal, asking them to pray hard for me to make this happens. However, there is one thing that I really sad about. A few of my friends didn't make it and they are deciding to enroll another college or university. 

To the guy, you thanked me for being your best friend for 6 months. what do you mean?? Do you know how hurt am I when I heard that. Firstly, our friendship doesn't just last for 6 months. When you said you cried, people think that you are joking but I know it is true. I don't know what can I do to make you feel better but our bet on our results. If only we started betting earlier so you have more time to beat my results. sigh.

To the girl, the problem with you is the same. I know you have been trying to solve those questions a week before but through my experience, achieving a good results with that is just not enough, my friend. You asked me to check the results for you cause you didn't dare to see for yourself. Right after checking mine, I went to see yours. Seeing the row of Fs, I didn't know how to tell you. You said you aren't coming back here to study sem 3 anymore and will pursue your study in Penang, my heart really ache for that moment.

Utar stressful? I don't really think so. There is not a college or university that has no stress. So the root of the problem is the way you think. Anyhow wish you the best of luck in your future. Hope you will do well.

Happy and Sad. This is how I ended my Tuesday.

Pointless presentation

Last Wednesday, I was anticipating for the long awaited Academic English presentation. We were asked to choose any topic for essay writing. I took this chance to choose 'abortion' as my group topic because till now I can't deny the fact that my English high school teacher left a deep effect on me when she showed the class a video about the truth of abortion and taught us the importance of it not to take this lightly. Truly inspiring.

Ms Mag : '' I showed you this (video) , not knowing how many people will really get it but at least I will influence one person which is equivalent saving to a baby's life. ''

That's why I wanted to do the same thing. I maybe not as influential as my  teacher, but I am trying to make a difference to bring awareness to my classmates.

We were only asked to stand up to present our points to class but I asked lecturer for permission to let me show Powerpoint slides together with a video. This act of mine would be Extra to others but I ain't doing it for marks. I'm doing it because I thought I have to.

Some of my group members thought I was insane for doing extra works although not required to, but I am willing to do it all by myself. It won't take long, sacrificing a bit time for this is definitely worth it.

The day before the presentation, I purposely saved the video into a few types files to prevent any 'accidents'.

An hour before showtime, I checked at the computer laboratory to double confirm  As I thought, things didn't work out for me. Praying and comforting myself that the computer is old and lousy so it can't sense my video so I went to borrow my friends' laptops for further checking. Yup, you got it right. My video can't be read by either of the laptops. In my head,'' Gone Case.''

Nobody can really how understand why am I so stubborn over a no mark video presentation. That't because I really really really want to take that opportunity to tell the rest. The act of abortion shouldn't be a way to control birth. Some cases are exceptional but generally I never and won't agree this act especially youngsters that have sex without considering the consequences.

One of my friends told me in order to play the video, I must actually save the video file inside the pendrive. How noob can I get? I didn't know that. Yes, I am real dumb. I wanted to rush home badly but knowing that I would rush late for class, it stopped me. Clueless, alone hanging in the reading room, thinking about thinking.

As time passed, I really couldn't stop blaming myself for not saving the file and tears started to drop. I wanted it to be shown sooooooo badly. Without the video, it defeats the main purpose why I choose this topic. What't the point then??

Another friend of mine came in and saw me sitting in the corner, wondering why am I so down and not doing my work. I told him everything and he tried comforting me that marks not given so no big deal. I know marks not given in the very beginning but still.... He doesn't understand why am I so bullheaded. I got tried explaining to him.

Minutes before, my other 2 friends came in and took my pendrive, hoping for a miracle. They were of course trying to help me, giving me solutions but I was despairing. Anyway thanks guys for willing to listen to me crap and fight for stupid things.

And you know what? Things were so chaotic that time and my friends deleted my powerpoint! I let out a scream. My heart scattered but not as much as when I know I couldn't show the video. I was smiling bitterly and in deep shock.

My friend felt so guilty but I kept telling her that is alright. The powerpoint doesn't really matter anymore. Pointless without the video.

But luckily we managed to retrieve my powerpoint and went in lecture class to present. Another joke of the day, we were the first group. Lecturer was telling us that can't show any powerpoint. I was like, '' What the heck?!'' Too many shock a day, my heart can't take it. Then, she told me alright, we can keep on with the powerpoint, felt relieved. Lecturer, please don't play this kind of joke to me anymore. It is not funny.

On my way back home, I was still feeling down and started tearing in my car. Am I overreacting and bit too emotional ?? I think I am...
