Happy Birthday Bro!

This is so overdue that if it was a food, anyone reading it will definitely get diarrhoea. :P But, I went through a lot of trouble to get the pictures, so, I am not going to waste my effort ... here goes ...

On the 2nd of October, my family and I celebrated my big brother's 24th Birthday! We celebrated his birthday by cooking breakfast! He did not sleep the whole night before so, getting him to be awake for breakfast was a piece of cake :P The so called salad was K's recipe but i butchered it! Hehe I have to go for more yogurt classes. Sausages were done by Au. Eggs by Dad and drinks by mum ... or something like that, we kept overlapping jobs :P


The crazy breakfast :D

The next item on our agenda was dinner at Imperial!! Hehe yummy food! Auntie and uncle from nearby came along with cousin and unofficial cousin (my cousin's housemate but she is as good as a cousin anyway :P). We made a toast! (Hehe but birthday boy no drink wine for toast ... he drank mock-tail). Enjoy some random shots of the dinner!
The toast! Hmm, it's a pity I can't remember what we toast for ... :P


Birthday boy!!

Hehe like conference meeting :P



Me and my aunt


The chocolate lovers ...

Actually, this was taken at the lobby of the hotel but I couldn't resist to put it in :D

Next, the cake!!
In a cake ceremony for birthdays, there are some rules to follow ...
1. Always get candles ...
2. Always get knife ....
Ad had to use a lot of imagination that day :P
Finally, the most important part ... pressies !!! Mum and I got him a new formal shirt (I was getting very tired of ironing his shirts which remain the same few every days of the week during my hols :D). Au got him a car sticker (if my memory serves me right it said ... "Cheeky monkey on board". Dad and Mum got him another Manchester United car sticker and a book. Cousins gave him a scent. Aunt and uncle gave him ang pow :D
He peek! No fair! must guess what is inside first!!

The three siblings :D

All in all, I hope he enjoyed it :D To my beloved brother ... Happy 24th Birthday and may all your hope come true :P

In Seremban...

This post is a few weeks over due ... but ... ah well, maybe I can tell a better picture after 3 weeks of IMU-CS :D


Firstly, the personal transition from home to out on my own. My family has been ever so supportive. My big bro left for UK before, so, I was bombarded with all the advice possible on Earth :P All preparation for feeling home sick was addressed a few weeks even before I left home. Hehe. I never had the time or chance to be unprepared! Thanks!




As for study wise ... I had a true culture shock. The hours and stuff expected of us kinda hit me hard. The expected knowledge that is to be at fingertips. The self planning of limitless knowledge. The preparation that has to be made before every class. Sigh. I felt like a little box going round and round the whirlpool!!!




Honestly, I think my first reaction was to pack my stuff and run!! I mean it was overwhelming and I just couldn't see where the road was heading!! I wasted a lot of opportunity that was given to me. I was too busy being miserable and wondering how I was going to survive. After having a lot of good advice (acknowledgement to Mum, Kj, JL, Dr IC, Dr N <>)




I have decided to take on IMU-CS with a new resolution. I need to put on more make up. (To dare and make mistake, to dare for people to laugh at me). I need more courage. (my apologize to all the people who had to suffer from my cowardice) (I need to more faith in myself that I can actually pass clinical school). My hope is that both this resolution will carry me through this 2 and half years. Maybe there will be times of falter but perhaps maybe the road has just been paved. Que sera sera ...
