Moving out deeee~!!!!! Shifting out of my flat (room) seems like shifting a house! I cannot fathom how all my stuff came to be. I arrived only with a large travel bag and a carrier bag. I am now leaving with those...amplified by at least 5 boxes of stuff! I never knew I had these many things. Well, I really don't think that there are many things..but somehow, storing them up seems A LOT!
Also, since i will be moving out, i would have to pack my laptop and store it away as well. this means..no more internet! boo-hoo! my laptop is very old..thus, the absence of wi-fi or anything which would make internet on-the-move convenient. I guess it would be quite some time after this entree before i write another one up...unless i get so bored and log in from uni! LoL~! i will surely have to go to the uni's library/campus to get online..the addiction is too strong.
reminiscing.......
arriving....meeting new people, my flatmates, msians...getting my first mail (*placid smile*)...msscf...a turbulent month...learnt a painful lesson...slacking classes...internet addiction...christmas hols...new year's day...cny cookout...exams...
~~~interspersed with thoughts, feelings and moments personal to heart...~~~
....exam results! when will u be out?!?! viva has been cancelled summore~! students shud go on strike and not sit for the exams too!

Ticking time
3 days left of the term ... and being in Senghennydd Court (pronounced: seng-geh-nith), Room 5 ..aka KITCHEN room! i've brought down some of my stuff from the board and the bedtable. My room is like a warzone now due to my stuff scattered everywhere and junk collected over the past few months. I haven't really bought much stuff..but it seems as though i have waaaaay much more than what I have when i first came here. 4-5times more! this is badddd...i wonder how am i going to shift my stuff!
*sigh*..what a year it has been..so much happened...yet, all those seem only yesterday or last week. ironic indeed.
thank you for the fondest memories...
time to go to bed now and wake up early to do a long list of never-ending chores!..really gotta start doing. i've been procrastinating WAY too much!

a PeeK inTo the fuTuRe*
The list of Year 2 SSCs was being posted up yesterday and I have just read through them. My first reaction: ".............................."
Yeah, I am STUNNED. Perhaps confused and pressured are two other words which would aptly describe my reaction.
Choosing a topic to do for the SSC is not an easy task. You might want to consider what type it would be, the speciality, the objective, the grounds where it might be done..and..err..the tutor?! (OK, the last factor might not be too relevent.) But the most daunting task for me is to reflect upon myself. Then, to try to peek into the future. I would have to assess my capabilities in performing that topic. Some say that as long as you have interest, the rest would come along. I beg to differ. Some things are just not that simple. Easier said that done. Interest and capabilities do not come hand in hand. (I know that some would disagree with this, but I guess this is a personal opinion)
Study smart....not hard? i ponder...
Then, there is the part where an SSC topic would be a tiny teeny weeny point-size window to the field of medicine you might be in in the future. This is very scary...to picture myself as a doctor, that has been framed, obviously. But to imagine myself being a specialist..that's EEEEKS! Some people enter medicine already knowing what they want to do and where they want to go. I have always left that to the experience and exposure which I would be gaining in medical school...I have yet to accumulate enough of those to decide. I might have more interest in certain fields, but unfortunately, I cannot convince myself that I am geared for those demanding specialities.
One more significant impact to me: - a source of inspiration.
I do not know many practising doctors here well; what more, Malaysian doctors. It would be of great help to have a person to look up upon, to advice and to guide when needed. - hehe, shows how much (in) dependence I have! But then again, it is much of a booster when needed as I have realised in the past decade... (gosh, i'm OLD!) I guess my journey needs a fresher perspective and a new path.

tHe BeGiNinG of a StaRt, THe teRMinaTioN of aN enD
Ah yes. Indeed the exams are over. Am I overjoyed? Perhaps not. A little, but not overjoyed. The second round is coming soon...oh yeah, i see the vivas and re-sits coming up. Perhaps I should not slack and start studying - AGAIN!..but this time, for GOOD, and with CONCENTRATION. I know that I have 'muttered' time and time again that I can't concentrate or study...so, to those who got annoyed, sorry! Hehe, but yet, there were those who shared the same frequency; and yeah, we RESONATED! LoL~!
We had 7 papers in total. Quite a handful. I know I didn't do well in most of them, always hoping to merely scrape a pass. Yet, I do have a strong inclination that I would have to sit a majority of them again. I really want to pass...that would be THE DAY! - To actually know that a MIRACLE had happened and that i'm heading towards YEAR TWO MB ChB! *wishful thinking* However, based on my performance, it's not something to be proud of. Sigh. Oh well...
(the sky is getting bright blue now..and the time, only half past 4..AM)
Today had been an absolutely FANTASTIC day though. The weather was AWESOME! The best that I have seen in weeks! ...and to have such a lovely start to the break (and an end to the term) was really AMAZING. No words can explain how lovely the day was..(technically, yesterday). Indeed, the sun does shine brightly after a downpour. I hope my results would come out alrite too..beating all odds!
I had quite a long day today. After our afternoon paper, we (Amy N., Sara, Amy W., Abby) went to grab lunch at Kappucinos. I had a baguette. Despite not having much appetite, I chowed it down and feeling quite stuffed til very much later in the day. After that, we went to Bute Park and just laid in the sun! weeee~! Well, i won't deny that i dun quite like the awfully bright sun - it makes my skin dark!, but it seemed like a real nice thing to do..just lying on the green grass spewing wif daisies while basking under the sun. I learnt how to make a daisy chain too! Ah, and this is the proper-PROPER one, not some crooked meaning (as a friend told me of it's existence!). I think i spent about 2 hrs plus under then sun..hehe, my butt got dried/burnt/baked/fried..u pick~! =D HAHA!...After a 20 min break in my room, i went off again to Amy W's place so that she could drive us to a house where we were supposed to gather. The walk was lovely...ate ice cream! and boy-oh-boy, the air was filled with smells of BBQ!!!!!!
We took a nice drive to a recently retired (2 months) doctor's house - dermatologist to be exact - and my gosh..yet again, i was tantalised by the beauty of british homes! really warm, cosy, clean, articulate, ...nice. Peter's wife made food..it was LUSH! YUM YUM YUM! Had salad (which was absolutely NICE - wonder how can a mixture of leaves leave such a graceful delight to my tastebuds!), lasagna (this was alrite. the top bit was a bit hard though), and garlic bread. It was topped off with a bowl of fruits (with optional self-pouring cream!) and an assortment of cheese and crackers (LIP-SMACKIN'!). i HAVE to comment on the fruits. It was really really good. there was a good mixture. honey dew, apple, pear, orange, strawberries and the whatnots, which make it normal. BUT...there were slices of BANANA in there as well! oooh, my tastebuds clashed a bit there. Hmm..also, here, people tend to drink something not only sweet...but also flavoured. Instead of drinking just water, or juice, FLAVORED water was served. hehe, Guess wot...we ate in the garden!!!! it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Saw sunset at around 8.30pm..lovely orang-y sky. =)
BUT..that's not the point. The meet up was actually a gathering. It was really good. Felt very welcomed, saw how supportive the people there were with each other..all that stuff.
We left around 9.50PM, when the sky was BEGINING to get dark...and then off to A.W's place for tea and hot choc. I reached home only around 11.30pm...so, yeah, i had quite a day....
