Bobby's 23rd

Juen's new name - BOBBY!! Had a small celebration for him after class and hereby declaring O&G to come to an end, unofficially! Yeayy!! The fun we had with those mothers and babies in the wards and labor theater was a good experience. Even I incurred fear for labor now, after seeing the amount of pain a noble woman has to go through. Ouucchhh!!!

So, Happy Birthday Bobby!

Wendy and Shoebee's idea!

Warm and Fuzzy

My eyes caught the glimpse of this close-to-perfection darling of heart, like droplets of the precious morning dews before they evaporate and vanish under the heat of the sun and so indistinctively warmed by an affection which I could have possible explained in a verbiage from the bottom of my throbbing heart. Sincerely. I was frosted before I felt this little tinge of warmth that slowly unstructured the tiny molecules of my fragile heart. It amplified the velocity of collision that I could hardly control the momentum. So fuzzy, I couldn't recall since when and how the event took place but for all I know, a liquid me was moulded back with care into a more complete piece in accordance to his personality while this is what I went in depth in search of perfection. Yes, this is it. I told myself - this is the mould that I want to snuggly fit in and be in it for as long as I'm granted to stay. It's about that speckle of stardust I'd secretly stolen from this comfort zone, an act that has not been documented in doctrine yet every step I take is a leap of faith and so far, faith hasn't left me despondent. I may not be perfect, I may not be the princess. I may not be everything this man has ever wanted from a woman, yet he's all that I can ask for, all that I've ever wanted. It's a non-obligatory bliss to wake up every morning, not finding dews but a particular someone who engages a corner of your mind and you perpetually cogitate on the soft whisper that tells - this is the day! This journey which I'd embarked on might not be something new, but the best I would disclose. There's no way I can draw a discrete distinction in this relationship as to how far we'll be ushered. Just like how I'm unable to fraction this note into paragraphs when I do not know where to make the cut. I could go on and on typing with this endless flight of ideas. Even if it’s a sensation I am weaving together from my own idyllic wishes and retrospection, I'll never want to let loose of my grip. All because I do not want to lose someone so dear to me. When my worst adversary, frailty takes its stand, I'll always remember when I pass the life of this period of time. So warm, fuzzy and close to perfection.

Inept

It's about time to sleep. My eyes are so tired now. I've taken a couple of hours reading about lymphoma. Just yesterday, one of my good friends I knew since pre-U sent me a text to ask for my expert opinion (a medical student point of view of course!). His younger sister had been diagnosed with mediastinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma a month back and according to the doc, it's already gone into stage II with spread to the lungs. Last CT scan was dated a month ago showing no other organ involvement and she's currently undergoing chemotherapy. Now and then, she feels localized pain at her spine. Question was, is this back pain a side effect of chemotherapy or a sign of spread or a complication of the disease itself.

Well, as a medical student, my first concern would be either it's a spread or a complication like osteoporosis. No doubt, spread and osteoporosis are the two courses of presentation I'm very well-versed of in lymphoma, but what I actually do not know is whether the bone pain is a side effect of chemotherapy? I couldn't at all give him a definite answer when he kept asking if there's a possibility that it's due to the side effect of drugs. On one hand, I empathize this girl who's suffering from such crucial pain when lymphoma is not exactly common at her age group and the fact that her family members are all worried about her. It's sad to read statuses posted by this friend about his sister on Fb. On the other hand, I feel really helpless with my limited knowledge that seems to have no room left for expansion yet I really want to help. I was actually looking through emedicine while answering some of his questions, which is what any layman could have done as well. I suppose I ain't any better even at the verge of finishing med school.

When it comes to expert opinions which I do encounter frequently, most of the time I just failed to give a confident answer simply because I'm not confident over things that I do not know. It's about questioning myself if there's something about it that I do not know, or if it's something that I know but am doubtful about my own judgment. The only positive annotation for being inept in knowledge is that it forces me to read more about that disease, which explains why I'm still awake at this hour.

Koonling and Chernlin's 25th

I'd been kinda asocial over the past months that I actually turned down quite a number of parties, mostly birthday parties or occasionally some drinking sessions with friends. There were days when I was really busy with studies and there were days too when I just felt like doing nothing but staying at home and rest. Forget about applying makeup, even dressing up is a troublesome task to me nowadays.

Set aside the fact that I'm asocial. Koon Ling and Chern Lin turned 25 this week and it's definitely hostile if I were to reject tthe invitation for these two lovely girls' birthday celebration. We had ourselves a wonderful night @ Movida followed by a karaoke session that rocked the night till almost 2.30am. I returned home with a temporary-paralyzed vocal cord and hoarseness of voice. By the way, Movida serves really nice food I think I should frequent that place if not for the fact that it's crowded with people and really smokey.

Gorgeous girls.

The best method for eating this cake!

Teddy Hug

Spent the last 9 hours preparing slides for my presentation and halfway through, I got really frustrated and discouraged cuz I screwed up one of my recent test and God-knows-why I was so moody. Totally demotivated while final exam is just 4 months away!! *panic attack* Just as my friend and I were ranting to each other about how wretched are our lives, I received the sweetest message that made me smile like an imbecile after reading. A message from that man who twitches my heart very now and then even with the simplest word like 'Hello!'. Of course, he replied really sweetly to my message and despite him saying he's boring, he's got me completely smitten. I had never imagined myself writing so many sticky posts like this, not even in my past relationships. Yet I proved myself wrong this time. This man has gotta be really special. (:

Can I pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I can make a wish to have him here right now. If only I could convert those infinite virtual teddy hugs into real ones immediately, I guess I'll never want to let go. *blush* People say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I choose to differ. I would say beauty is in the eye of the bear-holder. Just how I wished those virtual teddy hugs can breathe air and come to life! Or make (xoxo)cillin come to real? d:

Xoxo to you readers, nothing more but virtually! (: Good night!

Little hearts never fear when teddy bear is near!

Hello Kitty!

It's a long weekend where I had initially planned to make a trip to Penang with Bc when she suggested, but Keston is away in Japan and we had to call it off. I came back instead cuz Eunice is back and I've gotta renew my passport. Woke up freaking early on Friday morning and went to the immigration department, got the forms filled, picture snapped and tadaaa! My I/C was not in my purse!! And I still can't recall where I had it misplaced! Arghh... :S And since I was already awake, I drove grandma and grandaunt around town to get some groceries and herbs, then brought them for lunch. Went to meet sis in Kluang for dinner cuz the big news from her was 'Wendy is going to be an aunt by 2012!'. Wheeee~ Saturday, met up with Eunice, Michele and her sis, Wendy. We brought her little nieces, Melissa and Denise for Rio. It's been such a long while since I last brought the kids out and boy, they're adorable!! It's good to see my babes again and a little catch up every now and then seems like a brilliant bond.

Luckily the long weekend was spent doing something rather than nothing. Okay, I did idled around, and being a couch potato is just so me!! Nothing beats lounging on the bed in pajamas with a laptop next to me, a TV in front of my vision watching the all time favorite series, Smallville, popping chocolates into my mouth and sipping a cup of fragrant Earl Grey tea. This is heaven!! But out of boredom, I picked up my collection of tiny soft toys and started playing with Photobooth. d: I have a set of 7 pairs of Hello Kitty collected from McD's Happy Meal when I was younger! I'm not a fan of this kitty cat, but somehow I just queued with the crowd every week to get the compendium, one at a time. Total of 14 cats in my room at the end of the Kitty season. -_-
