Interesting fact by Dr. Kevin Leman

Our birth orders in our family consequently impact our attitudes.

This is an interesting article that I read not too long ago that want to share with you readers coz' i found it quite true to me. Enjoy reading. =)

First Born

Positive traits: natural leaders; are competent; display responsible behaviour; comfortable socialising with adults from an early age; high achievers; frequently live with a sense of entitlement and even superiority; strive to protect and help others;tendency towards conformity

Negative traits: demonstrate perfectionist qualities by putting pressure on themselves to succeed; often moody; occasionally lack sensitivity; intimidating, particularly in pushing people too hard or refusing to take no for an answer; known to be authoritarian or bossy

Needs: Authority approval

Suggestion: First born children have to know that it is okay for them to fail sometimes. They need to be aware that it is okay that they are not the best all of the time so long as they have tried their very best and that their significant authority figures (parents/teachers) would still love them

Second Child / Middle Child

Positive traits: independent and competitive with the oldest sibling, especially in small families; tendency to develop their own persona away from the family to
develop abilities not found in the elder siblings; may tend to be a people-pleaser and usually hate confrontations; very calm, down-to-earth; can adapt to changes and acquire very good social skills; great listeners; good mediators and negotiators

Negative traits: may feel uncertain of self and own abilities if the elder child is successful, feel "squeezed" when a younger child is born; seldom getting parents undivided attention, may lean towards rebellions; difficulty in setting boundaries; not good at making decisions that would offend others; tend to blame themselves when others fail

Needs: Sense of belonging

Suggestion: Try to include second born children in all activities. They are likely to be motivated by a cause and enjoy working with people because that would give them a sense of belonging.

Youngest Child

Positive traits: creative, unconventional; charming and adaptable; strong people skills; love to entertain and talk to others; make friends easily; an extrovert; energized by the presence of other people; display the highest developed levels of emotional intelligence; not afraid to take risks; may behave like only child

Negative traits: cannot accept to be “dethroned”, used to always getting their way, tend to get bored quickly; strong fear of rejections; short attention span; self-centred; tend to have unrealistic expectations, expect others to do things, make decisions, and take responsibility;
feeling disadvantaged in being the smallest and weakest, develop feelings of inferiority or become "speeder" to catch up with older siblings

Needs: Need attention for their efforts

Suggestion: Last born children may have babyish qualities, such as excessive tattling, crying, or whining. It is important that you must not get annoyed with these habits but give them some extra tasks to make them feel helpful and allow them to become more mature. They will often do anything to be noticed, so ensure you appreciate their efforts.


Only Child

Positive traits: always the centre of attention, they often enjoy this position as it makes them feel special; can be very matured intellectually; task-oriented; extremely well-organized; highly conscientious; dependable; feels extremely comfortable with responsibility

Negative traits: feel unfairly treated when not getting their own way; may refuse to cooperate; can be selfcentred; tough to handle; may play "divide and conquer" to get own way; missing out on the social skills learned through sibling interaction, may find it difficult to share or
compromise; can be very demanding; hate to admit they are wrong; do not accept criticisms well

Needs: Recognition

Suggestion: It is necessary for the only child to be aware that you know how hard he/she is trying and how hard he/ she is doing. This reassures the child that he/she is living up to your standards and boosts his/her overall confidence.


Interesting? Let me know your feedback =)

Confession of a child's heart

These statements apply to me...and maybe some of you out there:

I want my family support no matter what I am going through.

I wish I can confide in my parents in every issues and problems I face in life.

Sadly this is not true. Why do I say so...

Well, firstly its through the 19 years living with my parents that I know how they will react to certain topics or things that I mentioned.

I will always use my relationship for example. Coz up till now, I don't know how to approach you to tell you about my relationship. From my past experience of you lecturing me and giving negative replies about me in a relationship, I don't know how to talk to you about it. For goodness sake, I'm turning 20 in one day time...when I don't tell you about my relationship and you found it out from others, you blame me for hiding it from you and start bringing everything up to me. E.g: Studies, past..

I know studies is important and I do realise that my degree cost a big sum and burden to the family finance but I am not stupid enough to get a relationship and throw my degree away. So by threatening me to stop studying and go out to work and just get married is quite discouraging and saddening and heart breaking for a child to hear from their own parents. If you're going to talk to me like that everytime(which you do for what I've observed) You will notice I have stop or seldom talk to you or tell you things.

Who is to blame then? Me for not being a responsible child for not informing things to you? You personally said this to me ''Don't you think its your responsibility to talk to us and tell us things?'' Yes it is my responsibility to inform you and tell you but don't you think you too have to talk to us in a nicer tone? and way? Certain things you say will put us off. Being angry will make me turn away coz I am afraid I admit, I am afraid of you when you get angry coz' you are my parents and you have the say to kick me out of the family if i cross the line. I respect you but i yearn for the courage and freedom to talk to you and share with you.

I hate it when I tell you things and you react, which causes both parties to not be happy.

You always ask me to analyze and think critically. I am trying to. I really am but my brain don't think like you do, I'm still young and learning and growing. Everybody is different. yes you've gone through alot and you definately know more than me which is why you advice me not to do this or that. But don't restrict me coz i'll dislike it more. Walk through things with me, this is what I am asking for.

You told me to start a blog, start reading, cultivate these habits. I don't mind telling you about my blog. I don't mind at all but I dislike the fact that you will question things about what I write. YES I KNOW that in life people will question you ,and i must learn to answer those questions...you tell me this all the time, but this is MY blog and this is how and what I express on. How would you react by reading this post? Honestly I don't know.

How am I to tell you things when you react by restricting me before I can further explain myself

Sometimes parents just need to learn to listen and put their ego aside. I too have my own ego, I too am sensitive which is why I cry. When Things are not resolved between parents and daughter, I'll turn to my partner. You give me love which i appreciate, he gives me a different kind of love and support. thus when I can't talk to you, I turn to him..when you are demanding i keep quiet coz answering your questions will bring more questions..Don't make me build thicker walls coz I hate to do so.

I want to prove to you that I want this degree for myself and my future, not to make you happy. I know you're keeping quiet now to see how I score for my first semester. But I am not perfect. If i dont do WELL, the whole cycle starts again.

Arrgghhh! NOTE TO SELF: STOP PUTTING UNNECESSARY STRESS UNTO SELF!!!!!

exclaimer: don't take it too personally.

Chocolates ~ Ours to keep






I miss eating chocolates with you in lecture halls
I miss feeling special

I miss those times back in College.
Wish we could eat chocolates together again...

I know we will

I will finish strong

Many a times when things don't seem to go our way
We tend to think that we've got it bad
Its the same for me...

When things seem to come crushing down on me
when the pressure is on
I tend to think that I have got it worst..

But I thank God who works in marvelous ways..
A wonder of how a small motivational clip can open up my eyes
reminding me
that He will not throw you something that you can't handle.

In life,
there will always be situations thrown at us
to build us up
to build my character

I will have to try again
and again
and again..

No matter how hard it is
no matter how tough it seems
I will have to finish this race
and
I intend to finish it strong

That is a promise I make to myself

Sometimes I just wish that crying my heart out will make every hurt go away...

will make everything turn out right again...


But it'll never happen that way...


You said I don't have the passion in doing what I want..

You said you don't see that passion...

I'm never good enough...

It would help much if you'd give me more encouragements than criticism....

I've disappointed you with an average A level results...

thus I have to prove myself worthy of being sponsored by you to do my degree...

Reason why I don't tell you that I have a blog is because I don't know how much more criticism you'd have to add for me...

You said if I can't accept criticism and pressure then don't do it...

Do you know how much it sucks to hear that from someone you'd hope to recieve encouragement from??...

I stop talking...

When I know that I can't turn to you anymore...


You say things as if you know...


You assume things as if you know...


Then you go on saying ''Go ahead and tell everyone that I'm the cause of your failure'...


What are you trying to prove?...


Like you said, if I don't show my passion, you'll not sponsor me..

and thus you don't have to...

What the Doc said...

Latest update: Went to see a skin specialist

I've been having this rash like thing surfacing on my skin for quite some months and as usual I don't do anything about it until it starts to go red due to my excessive scratching.*booo*

So anyway, mom saw my rashes and she finally said to bring me to the skin specialist asap,reason coz' she's also been having this skin problem on her right leg since like I-don't-remember-when. So I got news that there's a good skin specialist at ss15( same row as Public Bank) and was adviced to call to make appointment as the queeue can get quite long. I didn't take that advice as I was thinking to myself, if I go early, I wouldn't have to wait long*brilliant*

I was so wrong! =.=''

That Saturday morning, I woke up around 8am-ish~ and our whole family left home about 8.40am! I drove so we reached ss15 and found a parking space about 9.15am. To my uttmost surprise, the clinic was already packed with patients! and the bussiness hour states that its opened from 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. Came 15minutes after opening and it was already packed!?! I asked the nurse how long would we have to wait before its our turn and the nurse said roughly 1hour or so. So okluh, 1 hour will pass by fast when we're doing something. We registered our names and went to Silva to eat breakfast.

About 10am we walked back to the clinic and ask how long more must we wait, nursie said maybe 30mins or so. So ok luh, we went to the nearby Watson to look at some stuff while enjoying the cool air-con. Half an hour later, we went back to the clinic and I specifically asked the nurse again how many patients more before its my turn. Nurse took quite some time to check and counted there were still 11 more patients to go. I was like @#%#$%#^!!!!

I came in at 9.15am, now its already 10.30am and you tell me I still got 11 more patients to go?!!! Ok fine, to kill some time me, sis and dad went to the nearby morning market in ss15 to shop for some groceries and to get myself familiarised to markets and raw food as I am doing the cooking nowadays. Mom didn't follow coz' she said her leg hurts when she walks.

We walked to the market, bear in mind it was the 10.30am morning sun which is HOT! Oh and just for the record, that day(Saturday) temperature was 36C. We walked and I saw that the stuff sold in the market was so much more expensive than the ones which I can get from KK's Pasar Tani or Hypermarket. Some examples: Lemons!Selling at Rm1 to 1.20 per piece in the market, Rm0.69 to 0.89 from hypermarket ; Granny smith apple, Rm10 for 14(ss15), Rm10 for 20(KK Pasar Tani)

However I saw some interesting stuff. I saw a pinkish red banana! They called it pisang Udang, its sweet! Finally saw an actual brussel sprout..hehe..dad said brussel sprouts are expensive coz' cannot get here in M'sia as they require cool weather to grow. Indeed the brussel sprout sold in ss15 was expensive, Rm22 per kg!

Facts on Brussel Sprouts: Has cholesterol lowering compound! High in Vitamin K(good for blood clot); High in anti oxidant; Good for cancer prevention =D

After the market trip, we walked back to the clinic which was about 11.15am. Asked the nurse another time and still got 5 more patients to go. =.='' Was finally called in about 11.45am.

Doc used a big magnifying glass to observe the rashes on my arm and he quickly concluded that I have eczema and continued saying that it could be hereditary. So I was thinking who has it..hmm..anyway Doc gave a 2 type of pills(one for morning, and one for night consume) and 2 type of cream(one for morning and one for night application). Doc asked me not to use Detol or Protex body wash as they're harsh for my skin, instead he asked me to use Dove which is mild on my skin.

Interesting advice given: For those who has eczema, after care of skin is uttmost important. Shower with cold water to soothe the itch and use moisturisers.

Interesting facts that I found out: The best way to trap moiture on skin is to apply the medicated cream and moisturisers within the 3 minutes after bath. Purpose of applying moisturisers is to retain the moisture from a shower onto the skin, so that the skin can stay moist. =D

Total bill for me is Rm115. To me its reasonable coz'
1.Its a specialist
2.Consultation fees is only Rm30
3. four types of medication for Rm85 which I can see the results within first application.

So yeah, Like I said, I could see my skin healing within the first application. I'm uber happy bout it =D The next appointment I have to make it to see Dr. G!..hehe

Lotsa Love and cheers! <3

Dorment NOT anymore!

My darling bloggie!

I've missed you!!!..hehehe...

Yesh yes I do realise I've been dorment for like 3 full months (July, August, September). Why? Its because I didn't have the mood to update my blog eventhough alot of events had happened. Why no mood? Its coz' of the little mood spoiler that happened one week after my A levels exam which I did blog about just a few post below.

Anyway I suddenly thought of blogging again is because of my dad. Yes, he does has a good amount of influence on me, influence to either totally spoil my mood or to push me to think and do something. You see, my dad found out that lil' sista has a blog and sis got all upset bout' it coz' to her, a blog is meant to be something private and kinda of a ''no parents are allowed'' area. Dad was happy and glad to have found her blog and was talking bout' it. And of course dad did encourage me to start a blog, start writing about my interested course and about my new found hobby ecetera. Then he goes on saying ' A blog is for people to read and see, if you don't want others to read your blog means you have something to hide."

So I was thinking to myself, should I start a new blog writing all about my hobby and interest and keep this blog with my real expressed feelings in the shadows? I came to a conclusion of a NO, I will not start a new blog, I will continue on with this current blog. This is my blog and this is where I express my discomfort, my dislike, my anger and my happiness. Everyone is free to read it and leave a comment but don't come judging me if you don't like the way I express or write about you or who-so-ever. Period. I have nothing to hide. Thats what I can say. I will reveal my blog to those who I want to when I think its the right time. As for now, If my parents or whoever relatives read my blog by accident then so be it.

So what happened during these 3 months...hmm...

July..
July went by not so pleasantly. As what I can remember there was tension going around between me and my parents regarding my degree course and my relationship and me finding a job. At the end, I got a teaching job at Xiao Dou Dou which pays quite well.

August..
I volunteered at Touch and Grow Community Support(TGCS) teaching special children for 2 months (August and September). I really enjoyed teaching those children, they are very special indeed.
Our Youth, Sword Squad had Pyjamas Night this month and Kean Lee joined us! I was of course happy that he could join us and that he can get to know our crazy youths..xD

September...
Went to Popular bookfest and bought a few books to read. One of which is a book regarding nutrition, quite interesting I must say. I'll write more on those in a new entry. Dad bought me a baking book and I've manage to try out quite a number of recipes and still counting =D. Will definately blog on those in a new entry =D

Those are just the summary of what had happened during the past 3 months..hehe...and the most important update is that I changed my hair style! =D


Ta-da!

11/06/2010

Ahh~ the not so sweet habit of procastination..

Yea I know, I know, been MIA-ing for a while since my last post eventho I'm actually quite free to blog everyday as I've got nothing much to do but to stay at home, sleep till noon, watch movie, eat, do house work and occasionally exercise. BUT the thing is, I ain't got the mood to blog due to certain mood issues as you can read in my previous post.
Anyways, it seems like today I've got the mood to blog. So I've decided to blog about Friday (11/06/2010).

Here is the entry for...

11th June 2010,

I'm sure many of you local readers out there have been to Genting Highlands at least once or twice. I personally have been there more than 3 times. and all of those times, the only reason I have plans of going up to Genting Highland is to go into their theme park and well of course enjoy and scream my heart out on the rides.

Today was different, the plan of going up to Genting with Kean Lee for a one day trip was suggested on Wednesday, planned a solid plan on Thursday and went up there on Friday. So it was kind of impromtu thing.

Both of us had the same idea in mind before we shared it with one another. We both thought about going up to Genting to just to walk around, enjoy the fresh air up there, look at the other attraction of Genting besides its theme park, enjoy one another company and of course capture beautiful memories together.

And the plan for Friday was taking LRT to Gombak station, buy a bus and cable car package ticket up to Genting. Walk around, take pictures, go into shops around Genting as most of the time I was always rushing to get into the theme park.

You know, I'm one of those who love to keep myself busy, fill in my time with activities, make sure that I have things to do everytime and feel in control just so that I can feel accomplished. However one of the thing that Kean Lee taught me was to learn to take a step back, observe and let things flow. The beauty of life cannot be seen and felt if we bury our head into what we want, it can be seen and felt if we learn to slow down and look at our surrounding, step out of our busy schedule for a moment and see what we're missing out. A level have really rob us of our time and the people around us. We're stuck in our own little world of A levels exams, not knowing what is going on in the world out there, not even knowing the activities going around TARC.

Anyway, we got ourselves up at Genting by 10.30am. The first thing I did when we arrived was that I dragged Kean Lee into the souvenier shop and got my sis, his sis and my mom some souveniers. hehehe.
Then we walked around Genting, saw that there were other hotels besides Awana and Theme Park Hotel.(All the while I really thought there were only those hotels). The Lobby of the other hotels were more posh and they have leather sofa's for guests to sit on which also mean that the room rates are exquisite. It was an eye opener for me coz' whenever I do stay over at Genting, the rooms are usually from the 2 hotels I mentioned. Anyway, we just walked blindly, exploring routes of how Genting manage to connect the whole place... and Kean Lee got hungry thus we went looking for food. To our surprise, there were buffet deals at RM27 per person, eat all you can. But we weren't up for that that day so the most worth eating food was KFC. And indeed, the chicken was bigger (size) and they have cucumbers..hehe..eat till jelak. We sat at the indoor theme park area for quite some time, just to look at the people around us, the family, the atmosphere.


We went to took some flower pictures and also took some pics with the flowers ;


Went to an open area which was like a balcony, it was windy, cloudy and definately nice.
Didn't stay at the area for long as it was packed with people, some even smoking.

Another garden, and yes, uniquely twisted tree =D
We sat around Genting for awhile more and left for home at about 6pm. Reach hostel about 9pm due to jam packed situation at the skyway cable car and the scheduled bus time.

There are some things that we both enjoy in doing like looking at the sky, feeling the breeze hence somethings we have in common in, Which make us enjoy even more what we actually love doing by Being able to do what you love and share it with your partner.

All in all, This trip up was definately a memorable and beautiful one.

Not so pleasant update I guess...

Hey peeps!

My past week plans

Thursday :
Last day of exam, went for badminton from 4pm till 6pm, tired ourselves out..hehe..but it was fun.

Prepared to go to GENTING!!!
Caught the 9.30 am bus to genting from gombak LRT station. Took skyway cable car up to Genting. Was sms-ing my parents throughout the whole trip about me going to genting..they were very paranoid. Understandable.
Didn't went into the themepark. Walk around and enjoy the air up in Genting. WIll elaborate more in a new post.

Saturday :
Left hostel about 11am, took LrT down to bangsar to cut my hair, then went to MidValley!
Parents fetch me home from hostel, hostel room was left bare as it was given to me.
Will elaborate more in a new post too ^^

Sunday :
Finally home!!! Was woken by mom at 9 am!!! to colour her hair. =_=" Coz' its her big day as 13/06/2010 was the renewal of my parents marriage vow in church.
After dyeing her hair, went to salun to style her ( and my) hair. hehe..
Went down to Subang for lunch, had bak kut teh. Went to Subang Parade for mom's complimentary Lancome make up appointment.
Prepare for Church wedding vow of parents.

Monday :
Left for hostel with sis at 9.30am. Met Kean Lee at Kelana LRT station.
Went back hostel for the last time to settle some stuff. Got into an arguement with the s***** hostel lady guard who ask me to leave my sis outside of hostel as she didn't have her original IC with her ( she only had her laminated/coloured IC) .
Went to Sungai Wang to walk and shop with sis and Kean Lee. Bought a new baby Syrian Hamster (but died 2 days later due to unknown reason)
Had loads of fun ^^

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday :
Woke up about noon time, ate simple lunch, watch at least 2 movies, didn't really go online, went check out for some part time job. GOt a good paying one by recommendation of a Friend. Did not start job straight away tho as I STILL WANT TO REST.

Friday (today, 18/06/2010) :
Went out with Kean Lee to 1UTAMA. Followed mom out.
Dad was PMS-ing.
Had fun walking whole of 1U. spend 8 hours there.lolz.
Bought a but cat ear for sis for only RM5, Bought a big cute octopus at the bargain corner of precious thots for only RM20. Bought a nice fitting slacks at Amour for RM39.90.
Needed the slacks coz' the only Padini slacks i had was literally dropping off my hips......

Anyway, good 1st week spent. Except for the next shitty* part.

I was reminded by my dad to find out more about my degree courses and what financial options that are available since Monday. OBVIOUSLY i lazed around at home and didn't go find out stuff as was told and thus he PMSed on me on Thursday and kept his bad mood till Friday and talked shit* about me thinking about going dating only and bringing up about wanting to get married early and forget about my education topic. WTH!!!

I kept quiet and that is what i do best. I SHUT UP. How am I to talk to some one who won't even listen and keep barking????? If you are going to raise your voice, and go red in the face and stare at me with the 'ohh so intimidating' eyes, well, don't bother, I won't speak up.
It is NOT cool to talk with the volume and make someone be afraid of you. Trust me, I'll end up closing myself up from you. so I let him talk and shout whatever he wants.

For goodness sake!!! WHY contradict yourself?!?! You were the one who told me that its normal for me to get into a relationship and yes you did state your PERSONAL opinion very clearly that you would prefer me not to get into any relationship. But what the heck, I am already in it. and I DID NOT SAY that I WILL NOT go find out about my degree courses and all. I need time to do so ok?!?!? And only 1 week has passed. Why can't you just let me enjoy my 1 week of holiday? Isit so hard for you to encourage me? Isit so hard so say positive words like "ok, enjoy yourself", "ok, do you best" WITHOUT ADDING other stuff like "ok, enjoy yourself but don't forget what other stuff you are suppose to do etc.etc.etc" If you really must say such thing, can't you say it after?

What is the realistic expectation here? No dating until what?you're old?!?!?! The more you shout at me, the more I won't open up to you. How would you expect me to have a NORMAL conversation with you? which is why most of the time I choose to sush UP!

And yes I AM afraid of you. If not I would not be typing all these here.



I'm sorry for the harsh words I used here. This is how I have been feeling.

Don't like the way I express, I don't care.

Got something to say, do comment.

Ex-tinc-ti-on



Food for thought

What if an extinct animal was cloned back to life?

Wouldn't that mean extinction is not forever?

Which also means that extinction will not mean the same anymore..

For the early risers

The Lawyer and the Chinese

An American lawyer and a Chinese
are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that all Chinese are so dumb that
he could get over on them, easy.
So the lawyer asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun game.

The Chinese is tired and just wants to take a nap,
so he politely declines, and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun.

I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5;
you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.

This catches the Chinese's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet,
he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question.
"What's the distance from The Earth to the Moon?"
The Chinese doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket,
pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Chinese's turn.
He asks the lawyer,
"What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows,
all to no avail.

After one hour of searching he finally gives up.

He wakes up the Chinese and hands him $500.
The Chinese pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.

He wakes the Chinese up and asks,
'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?
The Chinese reaches in his pocket,
hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep......


Moral of the story *Don't mess with the Chinese =D

Start your day with laughter =D



Some jokes for the heart

A teacher asked a four-year-old what his name was.


" Spider Man " the four-year-old replied.


"No, I mean your real name my dear" said the teacher.


The child apologised. "Oh, I'm sorry, Its Peter Parker."



*

*

A man was rushing for an important meeting and

he couldn't find a parking space.

Looking up to the heaven, he said,

"Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space,

I pormise to go to church every Sunday

for the rest of my life and

give up swearing."

Miraculously, a spot opened right in front of the building.

The man looked up and said,

" Never mind. I found one."



-cheerios-

Scattered thoughts

Just the other day, I was having my usual chat with Kean Lee. This time we were talking about our course mates, what they want to pursue after their A levels.

Whenever one chooses to enter the science stream, their ambition usually don't stray far. They're usually into the medical, research field.

Considering we're both of the science stream, no doubt most of our course mates have similar pathway that they wanted to pursue : medical field. Whenever we ask them what they wanted to study, most will answer Doctor, Dentistry, Pharmacy. These 3 courses seem to be of the most popular choices.

Some who at the beginning wanted to pursue MD, when asked later in the year, they changed their mind to pursuing Dentistry or Pharmacy. Asked them why the change, some said that they didn't want to 'play' with life ; some said that the study period was just too long ; others said Dentistry earns more than a doctor considering the time spent on studies and the working hours.

I'm now talking in the viewpoint of the science stream only. These are my point of views.

There are only a few predictable reasons on why most students decide to pursue a Medical, Dentistry or Pharmacy degree.

1. High pay, good income = good future
2. Status and pride
3. Parents wish of them to pursue this pathway

The title Doctor used to be an honourable and noble one. Like what Kean Lee told me, the world have distorted the main reason of becoming a doctor. The noble reason for one to wanting to be a doctor is for the good cause, wanting to help the sick. But now as the world become more materialistic, more money minded, individual pursue a doctor career is mainly due to the high income that they can get. Its more of a bussiness than a service to help the sick. Doctors are here to help heal the sick, what if the sick can't afford the medication, should doctors ignore them and let them die? Its a very subjective matter as there are many aspect to consider, from cost of the medicine to the equiptment needed to treat the sick.

Of course I'm not saying that those who want to be a doctor, they should go all out, use all their savings to treat the poor. Doctors too need to survive, they need to feed their family. What I meant is their heart, their mindset. What do they want to see? the sick being healed? or short consultation time = more money into their pocket? More community centered or more account centered?

Pharmacist, knowing all sorts of drugs in the market, doesn't really do good. Its scary actually knowing the effects of different chemicals. Anyway, we can't really make the world a better place with more drugs/medicine. Consuming different chemicals, for all we know, we're bringing onto ourselves who knows what kind of long term side effects. Then again, we cannot run away from having to consume chemicals as our world now are made of loads of artificial food filled with preservatives.


********

Sometimes it does make me wonder what are we after. What make us contented, satisfied. A higher paid job which rob us of our time and youth? or having a happy family with income that can sustain our daily needs will do.

Thursday~

Hey peeps,

So this is just a little update on what happened on Thursday (6/5/10).

I came down all the way from college to Bandar Sunway just to go for a lingerie warehouse sale.

Was it worth the trip? Of Course Yes! It was damn worth it. I can finally throw away my old scarlet bras which all of them are already deformed and rusty (the support wire) and I got myself a good 6 sets of new undergarments of Pierre Cardin, Young Hearts brand for only RM64!!!

A big shout out to sister Charity Choo for the info of the warehouse sale! Thank you! And I did enjoy myself shopping with Alex and Charity. =D Will definately want more of the sister shopping/blabbering time, after my exam of course...

Anyway, after the warehouse shopping spree, Lionel dropped me back to Pyramid so that I can meet up with Kean Lee (yes he followed me all the way from hostel). We had BBQ Plaza for lunch , then we went window shopping for awhile before we went back to hostel.

Kean Lee wanted to get a new pair of earphones. So we went into Sony Centre at the new wing to browse through their selections of earphones. Anyway I saw something so familiar yet different. It was the new Sony Walkman W series.
This is the newer model. According to the store manager, it was released in the market on 5/5/10. So its quite new. Apparently its 'more' water resistant than the previous one. So everything is the same except for the water resistant part. Of course it's not meant to be submerged in water for a long time aka you cannot listen to it while swimming ; its just an extra point for those who sweat alot and I mean drenched wet whenever they exercise. The design differ slightly than the 1st edition. To me, this new one is more squarish and I still favour my 1st edition design. I shall just be bias.

So yeah, it's just a chill off time from all the studying and honestly, it was good to be near home. I've been away from home for more than 2 weeks and still counting. Goodness sake, I'm like the only person at home who haven't seen the 'masterpiece' of the renovation of our main gate. Argh..not anytime soon i guess...won't be home until my exam ends which is until 2nd week of June. I do miss home and the people back home!

Don't forget me!!!

*hugs & kisses!*

Giggles!!!

Sony Walkman W series
A beauty isn't it?

I was officially the proud owner of one of this babe on 11/1/10. How I came to have it, well it was an early birthday surprise from Kean Lee for my 19th birthday. I've kept this birthday present from everyone up till date. It never left hostel, actually it did, once. Kean Lee brought it home for one weekend. Anyway, he got to know that I liked this gadget coz' once when we went out, I was drooling over it when we visited one of the Sony Centre. To me, this is like the coolest invention ever! A wireless walkman!

I didn't expect him to buy it for me though. Which is why I said I was really surprised when he placed a big package infront of me 6 days before my birthday. I've been using it when I do my laundry, dishes and doing maths in hostel. Oh! and it also helps me to concentrate better in my studies when my room mate is watching chinese drama series on her laptop. She never uses headphones so the drama can get quite annoying and distracting.

When it first came out, I wanted to have it coz' it would really accompany me with my jogging. But since having it, I've never brought it out with me to jog. Anyway I haven't been jogging since my last run which was Standard Chartered KL marathon 2009. I'm hoping to pick up jogging again though after my A levels and hopefully able to rope Kean Lee into jogging too. He dislike exercising! Which is a big No NO for me.

I would recommend this for those who jogs or cycle especially as it is real convenient. Oh and housewifey too! Good company while doing housework alone! hehehe! One drawback is their 2GB capacity. How I wish they would come out with a version with bigger capacity.

-XoXo-

Its a Sunny sunny Day~


Rise and Shine people!
Its a bright and sunny day!
with the afternoon sun warming up the Earth!
.....
3 more days before April 2010 pass us by
Time is ticking and wasting away
...
The pressure is on
exam is nearing
Everybody getting stressed up
We're gonna be evaluated.
....
Life is always about making decision
everymove we make will be observed
every decision is critically analysed, disected, criticised
....
What are we chasing after?
Money and Fame?
or
Happiness and Serenity?
....Just a random post...

Springing April~

Its raining heavily outside now..I'm currently stuck in the CITC (Communication IT Centre), can't seem to go anywhere got of the rain. So I'm here reading some blogs, reading wiki and updating.

I know I've been MIA-ing for quite some time. Been catching up on my studies. I've got a dateline to meet. I hope to update often though as I've got alot of things that I want to post but like I've said previously, I just ain't got the time.

Kean Lee parents took me out for dinner on Sunday. I didn't want to follow but his mom insisted. She was really nice. They took me out for dinner three times to date since last year. Kean Lee said his mom really likes me, whenever he gets into the car, the 1st or 2nd line is always asking bout' me. Mainly whether they need to takeaway dinner for me. Once, they purposely made a trip back to hostel to send me dinner even though they wanted to go out shopping after their dinner/ before sending Kean Lee back to hostel. I always insist that I didn't want dinner but I guess his mom is as persistent as me.

Anyway we ate Bak Kut Teh. YUMM!!! I've been craving for a proper yummy meal since my parents didn't came down last weekend to visit me. I really appreciated it when his mom insisted that I join them for dinner.

Note: His parents doesn't know bout' us yet.

Ahh~ I feel really really blessed.
