It is here!

Today is christmas.

I have so much to be happy and thankful for =)

Because many years ago, Someone had me on His mind, Someone placed me in His heart, and Someone chose to love me first when He did what He did.

Dont really have a nice long post to ellaborate about my christmas this year. Just sufficient to know that it was a good and memorable one.

Too stuborn to get off my contented butt

Bday Dedication

That the years will be beautiful, the people kind, and the memories sweet.
Thank you for being a friend, a comrade and a brother =)

Sorry for making you wake up so early when you should have been snoozing.

ps: (haha not bad for an impromptu birthday post eh? i should do this more often)
pps: the birthday was actually on the 23rd so im about an hour late, but it still counts right?

Muddled cheerfulness

I wasnt lazy this time. This time i actually got off my butt and worked hard to clean up my life and get to where i am, but yet again i find myself cleaning up after the very same mess from donkey years ago. It really is like cleaning your room after a storm just to find out later that a hurricane swept through it again, utterly useless and tiring.

Muddled cheerfulness as they say, cant seem to help me now.

Renal

You want to know how hard I'm studying?

I'm studying so hard that when my red highlighter ran out of ink a few minutes ago, i seriously entertainted the thought of going to 7-eleven to look for a red highlighter.

Exam in 2 days and i'm still hunting for highlighters?!?!?
People doing 7th round already and I'm still colouring my notes.
After slacking for what seems like the whole of semester4, aku mula insaf...

Wah.. really cannot study renal without RED la, such an essential colour for acidosis, RBF, peritubular capillaries, hypertension all need RED.

R- renin
E- erythropoetin
D- dilation (prostaglandin)

TODAY

shall forever be remembered

as

the day

You smiled

(do we always feel the begining of good stories?)

Tag! You're it!

Super-long-time-ago-expired-become-sour-milk-ady-tag
Sorry it took me so long to do the tag Angie!

Actually i think I'm just using Angelene as an excuse to blog this post. Cos i doubt she will harm me (can she even do that? =P) if i dont reply the tag, but still i want to do it. WHY? Because I'm a medical student with 2 camps to plan, christmas to enjoy, meeting minutes to write our, loads of renal notes to highlight, and an exam next friday thats why! Its only when you have so many responsibilities that the urge to procrastinate is the strongest, i really wonder why =p

Yay! I'm gonna blog! *campak renal notes*

here goes!

My first picture tag. Oh ya, since we celebrated "selamat hari depavali" in melaka after the last repro exam (dont ask me about the repro results tho), most of the pictures here will be from the trip! I really wanna blog about THAT too, but the renal notes are glaring too hard at me, so after exams k! In the meantime...

1) Most recent picture of you

Yup, the last picture i graciously availed myself for before we left melaka the land of the scorching sun. Super hot man! Bought a hat just because of the heat (and mayb just a tiny bit of SS-ness) Rm5 oni cheap cheap!

2) A picture of you making a peace sign

From left: Hwei Wan The Tokyo Drifter (must see how she park her car from the back, power!), Pei The Gucci Glasses (who kept singing Avril Lavinge's "When you're gone"), My "peace sign", Jen Lye the Sunglasses ( also a major contributor Avril-like noise in the car), and half of Xan The Only Sane Backseat Rider ( you kept me sane lady, i owe you my life!)

3) Picture of you with your FRIENDSThe Imu friends =)

Backrow left: Angie, El-Gorro, Pei, Hwei Wan, Shan, Poi, Xan. Frontrow left: ThuanTzen, Jen Lye, ME.

At this point realised that i dont have a pics with a few of my other dear friends. So will just out a reminder here, then next time when i manage to *snap* their pics i can fill it in. Haih must take more pics Denise!

*The Primary School Until Forever Friends =)*

*The BSGC friends*

4) A picture of you at a weird/ random place Meditating on the rocks in the middle of a river in Tapah by IS by my definition weird AND random. And for the record, it all was their idea not mine. =p

5) A picture of you in black and white.

*Black and white ah? Means must edit picture rite?.. SKIP!*

6) A picture of you with your hair tied upI am on the far right, the others are "studying" but i seem to be preoccupied with something (forgot what). Anyways this is the Nerd Hairstyle one usually puts on just before last minute cramming for an exam.

Oh, ok i guess that means must study. *scratch head*

7) A picture ofyou with a weird face Wow this was a tough one. Too many weird pics to choose from, this was probably the mildest of the lot ady cos i didnt want to give you a cardiac.

8) A picture of you wearing a black coloured shirt

How to secretly get away with all the christmas presents this year? Blind fold the CG leader!

9) A picture of you in a red coloured shirt

Christmas 2006. Wait a minute... Christmas 2007 is coming soon! Make sure you visit IMU on the 11th of Dec, any time between 10.30am and 5pm! We are having a reptile show in conjunction with the theme "Jingle In The Jungle" its got a nice ring to it eh? 1 ticket for rm4, 3 tickets for rm10! Cheap cheap! Reptile show leh! Real live wan leh! Come leh! And make sure if you come you buy the tickets from me leh! =p

10) A picture of you in a green coloured shirt

Attn Hwei Wan: I love your hair curled and pin up like that! So China Doll!! EeEee..*cubit*

11) A picture of you with your halloween costumeHad to improvise abit la, i dont have a halloween costume. Guess what am i?

Statue of Liberty!

12) A picture of you with your mouth open

Jakun never see wooden butterfly from Melaka before.


13) A picture of you in your formal attire.

Haha we wear formal attire everyday to class lar, so refer to pics 6 and 7 =p

14) A picture of you at the beach

My Turkey Group! Youth Camp Pangkor 2006!

15) A family potrait of yours.

Aiyak all the family pics are in my dad's comp, and i cant let him know i'm blogging instead of putting his rmXXX of imu tuition fees to good use. So next time k, lazy to scan the pics, just know that i AM the taller wan in the family =p

*PHEW* this picture blogging bussiness is more complicated than it seems! Have to choose the pics, then wait for them to upload, then after upload ady somehow my paragraphs will be all over the place and i have to re-paragraph them, then the pics always upload at the top of the page and i have to drag them all the way down.If it werent for my genuine desire not to study, i would have given up doing this long ago man =p Wow this is really for the professionals.

And i realised that Angie will most probably fall asleep when she reads this post cos ALMOST ALL the pics are from her camera! haha... i have no pics taken with my own camera, i think it's time for a christmas wish list! =p

Cos if i a camera today i would have taken a picture of this really sweet girl, Hannah i met at vbs today! She was so adorable, she kept talking and talking, she asked me: "Jia Jia, God make clowns with the big red nose wan ah?" and then when Uncle Allan came out with his Captain Sailor suit and cried "ATTENTION!" she hopped unto her feet and saluted him with a : "Yes Sir!" and when she cheers... ohh you gotta see how she cheers. Cos they have this special cheer for the kids they have to clap their hands and then give a loud: "WHoop Whoop" with their fists in the air to get the clowns to come out and perform. She was a true natural i tell you =)

Anyways, i think I've fulfilled my irresponsiblity quota for the day, better go study...

But then again... Lesley is coming back frm her shopping spree soon, and hopefully with my pack of Mr.Potatoes, and i havent watch that new dvd "The Chritsmas Shoes" hmmm...

Decisions decisions.

Oh ya! And like all other tag rules, i get to tag other people! Look out for your names:

~Lesley

~Adelin

~Eunice

~Jenn

~ YW@P (its a group blog so this will be hard, haha)

Camping Hi-ho

If life were more like camps.

If life were more like camps I could introduce myself to everyone for the first time. No reputation to cloud me, no history to explain, no expectations, no premature judgment.

If life were more like camps we would have fun at the beach, in the middle of a rainforest, by a trickling river, or in a quaint village because all we have to think about is the “now”. No future to obsess about because as long as camp is in session, time freezes for us.

If life were more like camps we won’t fear strangers or carry pepper sprays because we are in our own little universe where i know you and you know her so she knows him who also knows me, and we are all family.

If life were more like camps we wouldn’t feel lonely because that would be breaking the very first rule about camping: “Nobody will ever be lonely at camp”.

If life were more like camps we would be more spontaneous with our actions, we wouldn’t plan too much, we would tell the people who really matter how much we care, because camps always have deadlines and we don’t want to wait until it is too late.

Bring me to camp, bring me my escape.
