heaven knows

It has been some time since this blog was TOUCHED!!

Days have been pretty busy. If my time wasn’t spent studying or going for classes or doing clinicals, they’re mostly spent either sleeping or hanging out with friends. So yup… got to get out and do stuff while I still have the capability to do so  =P

I recently went on a trip to Genting Highlands during the Awal Muharam holidays. Despite the freak hot weather down here in KL, Genting was surprisingly colder than I thought it would be even during the day. Didn’t do much there actually. We were mostly walking around and hanging out in the apartment. Well… the whole point of the trip was to relax and de-stress. So we did it!!

Back to the academics AGAIN after the holidays. Swell… I didn’t even realise that my 1 of my big exam is mid of next month!! Awesome!! That would mean that I’ve got to put in more time staring at my books. Hopefully and I’m praying that I will pass the exam with flying colours after all the constant studying.

Oh yes…!! I encountered another BLONDE yesterday!! And she’s in my class!! OMG!

While I was typing my report in the college library yesterday, not only did this FELLA shut down her computer, she turned off the main power for all the computers while she was at it. So… my screen suddenly went BLANK when I was halfway through my report. And guess what she said to me? “Oh, I’m sorry…Did I off your computer too?” (in a non-existent innocent tone). Wow… I almost wanted to give her a piece of my mind. I never knew people could be so DUMB!!!

I encountered another blonde while I was in Perhentian as well. Which person in their right mind would grab someone’s leg while they’re swimming?!… IN THE SEA!!… WITHOUT A LIFE JACKET!!! And there always has to be a punch line. She surfaced from the water right after and told me, “Pearly, did you see the fish I tried to show you?”. Priceless… just priceless.

The Perhentian Trip is over… Really sad that it is, but great memories remain  =)

Yup, I spent 3 days 2 nights in Perhentian Island. Although the hotel wasn’t much, but overall it was better than expected. I managed to not get myself burnt into the same colour as my graduation robe…which is a good thing. I went snorkelling for the first time there. Got to see some fishes and a glimpse of a baby shark! Yup, it scared the hell out of me. Especially when I went in snorkelling without my lifejacket and suddenly my friend yelled “SHARK!” underwater. According to him, I almost drowned him because of that. LOL! Unfortunately, I missed seeing turtles due to my stupid motion sickness that decided to hit me at the wrong time.

Although I missed watching the sunrise and the sunset there, I managed to take night strolls along the beach. Found some glowing microorganisms along the water line. Definitely a nice place to go to unwind and just relax.

And now… it’s back to the busy schedule once again. Been going to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang for the past few days and it’s bloody tiring!! But the experience and what I learn there is good. Found out that I really like working in the hospital. LOL!

It’s going to be another good weekend! Convocation dinner and Convocation is coming up! Can’t wait till I officially graduate and be officially known as a Post Grad student. HAHA!!

I took a practical assessment last friday and finally got an answer today… that I passed!! Totally went in there not prepared at all. All I know was that I was prepared to give it my best shot and do what I can. I think just going in with what you’ve got rather than purposely preparing for it would be the best thing to do. It would genuinely test your own skills and what you’re actually capable of. So now I know mine  =)

Anyways… a senior who recently dropped out of the last semester (part II) came back to pay his coursemates a visit before taking off to Australia tonight. And it was definitely good news to know that he could get a trainee position in Perth even without completing the part II exams. I’m more pumped up to work towards the end of this course!! Can’t wait to go overseas to work and start earning foreign currency. HAHAHAHA!!

I so want to do some shopping. *sob sob*

And yes… I’m going to do something very meaningful soon… Hehe… Will blog about it once it’s done and over with. Till then… back to the busy schedule and not to mention PERHENTIAN TRIP!!

I guess I should have done this a whole lot earlier rather than doing it now. It wasn’t easy. It felt nice, warm and comfy to just be there. But just as the sun will eventually set, all things must come to an end.

I’ve decided to throw it all away. To throw “us” away in whatever context and term that was previously understood. My emotions weighs down but it is something that has to be done sooner if not later.

This poor brain of mine is going to go delusional soon enough. I’m just waiting for the time that it will actually EXPLODE!!

Sometimes I don’t understand why… Why can’t people give me a break. Isn’t studying from 9.30am to 4.30pm ENOUGH for the day?? Isn’t teaching yourself everything and still able to pass and get a decent grade ENOUGH? Or better yet… please give me your definition of ENOUGH. Maybe it comes differently in my dictionary. And how the hell does threatening help to “motivate” someone??

I definitely, without a doubt, need another holiday to retrieve what is left of my so called sanity. I think I’ll use like a dustpan and a broom to sweep up the bits and pieces of what remains. Oh wait… Maybe the other better option would be to just lose it all.

Life’s been pretty hectic nowadays………..  No, I’m just kidding. But no doubt, I have lots of assignments, presentations and tests lined up every week till September. Just looking at my academic calender for this semester makes me sad.

Other than the same old boring stuff of studying and classes, I have much more practicals now as compared to my degree course. ALL includes ultrasound scanning. Well, the roles change from time to time. One minute I’m the sonographer, the next minute I’m the “patient”. But yes, it has been fun indeed other than the gel that is used. I’m not a big fan of that darn gel, but it’s a necessary and essential item for ultrasound scans.

If you are able to tell what’s in the picture, then please enrol yourself into the sonography course as soon as possible  =p

Life after uni has been great so far. The holidays I mean. Been enjoying the holidays pretty much. But sadly, I kind of miss my Uni…!! More of missing my uni friends and just being around the uni. It gives a different feeling as compared to being around my college now. Sigh… one more year to go before being pushed into the working world for good!!

Sad… Got some serious work to do with my course now. Weekly assessments are going to be a big pain.
