Traumatised by the GIT pic..can't think of a title

Hey there guys..

Firstly sorry for not posting up anything for an extremely loong time...!! The internet in my house is really slow (cos all 4 of us are heavy downloaders) and it's always not working on Sundays (without fail man). I can't believe that Lame O actually posted up a picture of the GIT in our bloggie...gah...it's already bad enough that the AS (alimentary syst.) classes that I attend are soo boring..but yeah .. I do agree that we've prob run out of topics to chat about cos most of our blogs usually come out after outings/special events etc..

Anyway..June ...How are you?!!! Update us about your back pain..it seems really bad man...but i suppose there's nothing much you can do about it since NHS sucks in general...if it gets really bad why don't you just go and see a private doc? It's better than torturing yourself!!!
It really sucks to get sick here in UK...i think it's better to just self-medicate yourself...by time you actually get to see the GP you're either cured or dead..I'm down with a cough and flu also.. have just been taking daily doses of flu medicine and strepsils..Don't see the possibility of getting well any sooner since everybody in the lecture theatre seems to be coughing n blowing their noses left right centre...stress nya...

I'm proud to announce that I've learnt how to use the oven on saturday!! The embarassing bit is that my 2 (male) housemates taught me how to use it..and i nearly set off the fire alarm :P
I also know how to boil pasta and cook rice..haha! So, as you can see..I haven't really been cooking..I usually do the washing up instead..but living outside of halls has been fun (so far anyway)... can eat anything that i want..at anytime...not to mention that we bought a choc fondue set...so we've been having Choc Fondue Nite once a week :P I still hate grocery shopping and carrying groceries back home (okay..I take the bus back) ..so nothing much has changed so far ..
Oh yeah...i forgot to tell you guys that i got a TV for my birthday!! Am gonna apply for cable TV soon..can't stand normal british TV...it's so bloody boring..full of soap operas , weird gameshows and lame reality tv shows..

Alright guys...gotta head off to class now ...hope to hear from you guys soon!

Have We Reached the Caecum?

'Caecus' actually means blind end in Latin, as told by one of our lecturers in the GIT anatomy lecture. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything disgusting. I think we've reached that somehow or rather in blogging. Somehow or rather we don't know what to blog, or seemed to be too busy with other stuff.

Sigh... i actually don't know what to blog too. nothing interesting actually happened. the most interesting things are sad stories. let's have a moment of silence for datin endon who passed away recently.

June! i'm so worried bout your back. is there anything to be done to cure it? how are you getting to uni lately? when's physio starting? update us on your condition k? i'm sure everyone here and down under wants to know.

how r u caroline and grace? grace, still busy with your exams? or is it orientation and sports again? having fun i guess. have u learn how to cook yet, caroline?

Ah, as u all would have already know, we've got 3rd place in cheerleading, which i'm so sorry to tell you guys like 20 days later. and we have won the overall champion for IMU cup. i'll try to look for a web page that can host videos, and then post it up here for u guys to see.

until next time, take care guys!

(PS - i've got a 'nerd quiz' linked at my blog. go try it out! see if i should change the page name from 'Chocoholics!' to 'The Nerds!' instead.)

life is so fragile!??!!

i can't believe that endon passed away!!!!

it was so shocking when i found out on the news. it's like..i never knew how serious it was until now. yesterday i found out my housemate's close fren's mom passed away, and that her own father passed away 13 years ago. i nearly flipped!

btw, i got...some form of slipped disc. yeah. serious. i am not pulling your leg at all. my back is super painful that i couldn't get out of bed this morning. and walking sitting standing hurts. i just realised how often back muscles have to be used. now i feel like an invalid. i went to the doc and she is so freaking useless, all she said is that i will send u for physiotherapy.
what about the pain?
take ibuprofen
iv'e been coughing for 2 months and it hurts like a knife when i cough.
drink honey with lemon
WHAT ON EARTH????
i got numbness and pain in the leg
oh..the physiotherapist will tell u waht to do
when will i see one?
oh u wait for them to call you for appointment

what the heck???
i can't even go about doing my daily stuff...and its been so bad for a week already. i have to cancel my skiing trip cuz of this. now i dont think i can even travle with this condition. i need a car and a wheelchair. but still it wont really help cuz sitting is very painful also. i think the only position i can be in is lying down on my back.


i feel like going back in dec. but airtickets are so freaking expensive..like 800 pounds!!!

how is everyone??

1Day1God!

hey ppl... as some of you know, yesterday was 1day1God in my chuch.. june you miss 2 1day's this year.. to those who doesnt know what was it about, it was about a day, which was saturday where all of us, gathered together in church and worship God... 1pm til 1am... hehehe.. and it was amazing...

it started when shawn leaded the worship, and then they showed us this clip from oprah.. (ok aunty, dont get too excited.. ) it was an interview by oprah on michael jackson during his "ups" time... the clips showed ppl, screening, crying, fainting, cheering, whatever (i;m sure you guys seen these stuff on tv b4) at his concerts, or whenever the fans see him.. these ppl were "worshiping" michael like no tomorrow.. then pastor told us that the act of worshiping was born in us, and it is a natural act.. it doesnt take a believer, so to say to "know" how to worship.. the clip on michael speaks it all... but then again, she says, why ppl can "worship" this human, weirdo guy, but no God.. why ppl nowadays dont have the passion for God, but instead, the passion and the love for- a human?... when i heard these words, it really strucked me.... cause we can see ppl nowadays, give so much praises to singers, celebs, whoever or whatever, but not as passionate for God, our creator who His love is unfailing, everlasting and our sole pillar of salvation??? i was thinking, is this human whoever it is that you scream and cry out to, will provide you with your needs, listens to you whenever you need someone to talk to.. or to rely on for whatever prayers you pray for.... who else, but God who can provide us with all.. His covenant speaks it all.. His faithfulness is proven over and over again to each on everyone of us.. whether we realise it or not.. this really got me for that moment...

after that, we continue to worship again, and during worshiping, my mind just went thru flashbacks of everything since early this year again... seeing the visions of everything over again, and how much God is provided and is faithful to me... i just couldnt hold it and tears started coming out.. the fact, i noticed that as the system course goes by, the amount of time i committed for my studies is getting lesson, but God once again, proven that He will provide so long as our heart stays with Him... recently for haemato... i've been caught up at times with cell, discipleship, Christian fellowship... sometimes, spent time with the cheerleaders... and at times, with ppl that need to talk, campus friends and the worst.. with one tree hill.. i tot i was not prepared for haemato... cause on wed, when my lecturer where doing the case discussion with us, it just reinforced my discouragement after a lousy morning with the recruitment drive.. so i just left home.. and as i was driving, i remembered what shawn preached the previous service, about discouragement.. so got back, read the Word.. and then start all over again with haemato.. after fri's paper, when i saw the feedback, really thank God of His blessings... there is so much i do not deserve, but yet He gives generously... that moment in church, was my greatest encounter with God... and i was like, gosh... i gotta need inhibitors for my lacrimal ducts.. (woman, any to recommend)..

after worship around 4.30pm, it was "God Factor" time.. we were divided into groups, and each group was given a name of God to talk about, to discuss and present it later in church.. we were to go sunway pyramid and have dinner and talk about it.. i was given the honor to lead one group.. and we got Jehovah Tsidkenu.. which means God of Righteousness... discussion went well, seeing others sharing their opinions on how righteous is God.. and how we can obtain his righteousness..

back in church, after all the performances and presentations, worship continues, between that, we have whoever who suddenly wanna share something about God came up and shared, and we prayed.. and worship.. and pray for others that we dont know in church.. and worship.. and pray for the campuses.. this all lasted til 1am.. and in the end of the day, we were all so passionate for God and so eager to just give our praises to Him, more and more.. and i got to meet with some ppl, who are non-christians.. one of them said, "this is amazing.. i nvr been to a church where i can have fun and learn about God at the same time"... in a way, i was pleased cause he is encountering God's words but yah.. its not all about fun.. :-) but i guess, that can wait for his part...

it was just 1day for Him.. whereby we do nothing but just to spend time with Him.. and i would say it has to be the greatest day i've had in my life.. thank God for that.. and thank Him for everything... being a believer made me realise something... i dont have to understand what His plans are, or reasons for His actions... but just simply obey and commit everything to Him.. trust that He will take charge of everything..

so yah.. i guess this is it... take care guys...

happy birthday

hey caroline and wen hao!!

i shall call you by your rightful names just this entry, since i am writing to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY...HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. sorry for this late greeting, cuz i have NO INTERNET CONNECTION at home, which is a torture!
anyway, glad that wen hao had a great day, eating hutan hitam cake, and later cheese cake. yummm..i am drooling. speaking of campus frens, i was actually looking at the life book auntie gave me, it is darn interesting, with all the funny messages between the pages. cool man, keep it up. wh, why dont u just take over the place of president..? then u can start being more shrewd and make it happening. muahaha.
hey caroline, how are you? haven heard fr u for ages?!!! blog lah...how was ur bday celebration?

welcome grace,
sudah lama tak dengar. sydney and blue mountains rock rite?!??!? i was there last year, and i really loved it. wah u are so busy, busier than me...i thought i can die already, with all that im doing now, but i think you are far more involved. hehe. too bad i wont be back in dec,so cant meet u. come to london lah ppl.!!!

just to let u know, its been a crazy week unpacking my stuff. my room is like a mousehole. maybe even smaller. there is no place to walk...i have to walk sideways like a crab to get to my table fr the door. but its cozy loh. so thats the tradeoff. and the location is super smack right in the middle of london, which is good and bad. bad cuz scared get bombed. choy touch wood.

i am gonna be pretty involved in ocf (overseas christian fellowship) this year, and am leading a cell group with, of all ppl, owen, geez. chuen, better pray for tolerance for me. so i will be pretty busy with it loh. we are planning a retreat next month, so that should be pretty exciting. that aside, like last year, am on the tennis team, only thing that this year am captain, so its quite shitty, cuz the girls are so hard to organize.
am going for post mortem tomorrow. hehehehe. hope it wont freak me out. gah!

take care peeps.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!

My first 2-!!!!!!

hey ppl.. finally we have to face the reality of life.. which is we actually grow.. gosh.. finally i gotta step into the reality of 2-..... so i tot, why not just set my first 2- blog.. hope it still sound 1- ish..

anyway, before talking about today, just lemme tell you guys how eventful my last day as a 19th yo young, ever charming, sizzling, hot youngster(it will be all the way and i refuse to use the word 'adult')...

so, fri started off with the ever perpetuatingly ring of my phone's alarm clock.. it will nvr stop until you wake up and click it off.. and time was 6.45AM.. i had to get up to go back to uni, for the blood bank visit.. i only had like few hours sleep coz i slept around 3am coz i was watching one tree hill (this is all woman, lame-o and woman-who-stil-has-no-nick-&-has-every-excuse-of-not-eating-since-its-puasa-month's fault for tempting me into this series and am stil downloading episode 6 now)... and reached uni early, and waited for SO DARN LONG FOR THE DARN BUS TO START ITS ENGINE... [could have gone for my wantan mee(oh yah i found another wan tan mee shop in sri petaling which is quite nice) and come back and wait for the darn bus]... so, after the bus finally start moving its lazy ass engine, and reached the blood bank, we had some lousy lecture about coagulation pathway(which we have learned) and another lecture on many many slides (which the slides read me better than i read them).... i fell asleep during the lectures... finally we headed back to uni, with great disappointment.. so, me & lame-o started playing the name game, naming ppl with all the names that came into our mind...

in uni pulak, woman-who-stil-has-no-nick-&-has-every-excuse-of-not-eating-since-its-puasa-month and i had campus friends meeting(its a club with is so hot but now thanks to the president, it became SAD).. and i had to like brought up the issues on how our club is not meeting our goals, and we are over-spending and dala-dala-dala stuff to the mr-smart-ass-president-who-says-"spend spend spend"-and-"i'll do it"-but nvr-do-it... so it was kinda tension situation.. and after the meeting, during lecture i received a msg from mr president wanting to talk to me after lecture, and there went another session of talking and headache.. and i also found out that i left my thumb drive on the uni computer and NOW ITS GONE FOREVER... (this is like the dunno how many times i left behind but got lucky)... so i guess God finally says "I had enough.. you so gonna learn it the hard way and I'm not gonna make you found your thumb drive again"...

oh yah, just remembered, before lecture chun peng steph nana and many many many more others had a suprise event whereby they turn up with a cake and sing happy birthday song and enough it in the lecture infront of the batch(luckily not everyone was there yet as it was still early for lecture)... thanks to them all.. and we went to food ave to eat the cake after lecture and PBL... and i found out that the cake was chosen because there were 4 options...

1. choc banana but cp refused to buy coz steph is allergic to banana
2. cheese cake but cp refused to buy coz he doesnt like cheese
3. tiramisu but cp didnt wanna buy coz a few days ago, we had that for someone else's bday

which brings us to
4. black forest coz it was the only choice left... (i nvr had HH(hutan hitam) in my whole life, but it was nice)

so, after the cake eating session, and saying goodbyes and huggings to ppl who were leaving, me and chris left for church.. and i came how around 11 something, and wash up and eat indon mee for supper and read up on pig-siosis and trypanosomiasis and fell asleep at 1.. that was how eventful my last day was...

as for my first 20th... was great, spent my day watchin one tree hill again, and read up abit and spent time with family.. had a good dinner and now eating the cake that i like.. cheese cake.. its yummy.. will bring some to you guys next week.. thos ein overseas, too bad... just imagine you guys eating it ok.. :-)
anyway, gotta read up some stuff... gosh i am so scared of haemato... but my prayers to all imu ppl who is sitting for the exams..
take care everyone
and God bless!

p/s:-grace next time i tell you some exciting aventurous events just to tempt you too.. hehehe.. but it was great.. envy you!!!!

Happy Birthday Caroline!

Hey Womann!!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY YOU OLD FART!
This comes one day late but you know I meant every word of what I said on top. This would of course include the old fart part.

I'm going to spontaneously compose a poem for you on this special day. Seeing as I have less than 5 minutes till my next lecture, I hope you'll excuse me if it isn't quite up to standard.

Caroline, caroline, you're so fine
You are also very kind
Even though you're far away
In my heart you're here to stay

Now everybody say "AWWWW, what a sweet poem"

Gotta go now, take care.
Tell us all about your birthday celebrations. Post pictures!
