10 Brief Updates

Vanakam!
Okie time for the big update from not so indianize me =(((

Hrm let’s see, since my last post,
Hrm…
Hrnnn…
Ernn……..
Ehhhhh……….
Too much to say, I don’t know where to start.
Okay, there’s one.
This blog will be provisionally inactive for next couple of months.
I think.

*Andrea’s staring at the blank white wall retrieving back her memory*

Latest happening...
1) Currently posted in general surgery department.
Witnessed 3 hours of cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) today and 2 cases of hernioplasty& thyroidectomy (removal of thyroid) yesterday.
I thought I might pass out but of course I didn't, it could be totally embarrassing if it happen. Didn’t want to ruin that opportunity of witnessing surgeries anw.
But I tell u, I’m beginning to live a considerably healthy lifestyle ever since ^^

Lately been working OT with Aaron during lunch break following our therapist to ICU (intensive care unit) to treat patients. Ya’ll know how it is like working in hospital, ok imagine one moment you see patient being admitted for example in ICU, next day they're dead. Recently this young man got stung by multiple wasp and pass away within 24 hours. Frankly it was real hard to deal with, or even facing them at first because you can’t stop feeling sorry or sympathy for them. But that didn’t last long, if not I’ll be emotionally drained out if it continues.
Put it another way, mayb we're constantly reminded of how vulnerable and week we humans are,& affirming our belief in the existence of our Great God, creator of this universe.

2) I think I got myself hook on to roller skating 3 times a week, with help of this uniquely strict instructor.
So far no falls/ scars/ scratches yet so it’s still fun for the moment.

3) Watched Angels and Demons, freaked out from those gory suffering images, and for the first time in hostel, I didn’t want to wash clothes when there’s no1 in washroom.

4) Cinema in India is ….. W.E.I.R.D

I mean their seats, screen; sound system are all good, just like GSC in Msia. Weird thing is people cheer and shout when romance scene shown. And then horr, there’s a 15mins break in btw, like wth right? And their normal popcorns are salted, eating plain salted popcorn was ewwww, good thing they have additional cheese or onions toppings to add on which eventually turn out nice. =)

5) Breaking the big curfew rules is nerve wrecking and F.U.N!!!
*That’s why ppl say, we need a “Naima” around to control us, so Belinda Yong * if u ever read this*, we need you, ok not just because of that, we miss you, you should have come know.

6) I’m still adapting to their culture...
because because because... …

7) Made many many new and old friends, which was totally unexpected actually, with the language barrier etc.
Plus since astro doesn’t exist here, we resolved to One Tree Hill like everynight. Thank you Uncle Lim for those speakers. =p

8)Andrea stopped complaining about living without her maid and washing machine and air-cond and car and missing her fly and friends and church and the country where everyone speaks human language where at least I could understand.

9) Getting crazy living with 2 totally insane roomies that annoys me constantly but not failing to make me smile everyday.
* I’m so getting my mango milkshake with choc toppings from each of u*

10) I’m so close to getting screwed if I don’t start studying soon.
So take care everyone.

Ps- Life’s too short to be a bad person. ^^


Front- lil bit of Tim, Shu Wen, me, Nurul Ain
Back- Europianize Azhar, Mira, Farhanah,Puchieyi & the good shepherd ^^

A birthday note

Someone once said that --
sisterly love is, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions.


Dear Mei
When God wanted me to have a sister, he thought about you first.
I hold every moment we created, for it’s unrivalled worth.

I was twelfth, paying attention in class I remembered so well,
You walked towards the strictest teacher in school asking permission to meet me.
We approach, your lower jaw filled with blood, your teary eyes glaringly stared at me waiting patiently for my guidance.My heart broke in an instant.
You were urgently rushed to a dentist.
I waited anxiously for your return, unable to remain calm myself,
I picked up a marker pen, and wrote something on our little whiteboard,
hoping it may enlighten your spirit--
U smiled at last…

You used to be the typical bright young sister,
Using all your little skills to either entertain or annoy,
Like how every other siblings does,
Not a single action less.
Yet, whether there was hatred or joy,
You were all the while right there with me.


To my sis, who gives me a hand to hold,
and always has a ear to lend.
One day u told me you dreamt of me being far away from u,
You woke up and held on to my hand,
I was too exhausted to feel that mile of love.
On the way to the airport,
Once again you held on to my hand, this time with me realizing.
I wish Daddy drove slower,
I wish time would stop abruptly,
How I wish I didn’t have to go.

You Have a Special Heart
a better sister I could never find.
Our roots say we're sisters, our hearts say we're friends.
When my heart breaks, u were there throughout.
When u were wounded in one of your most crucial time,
We wept together.
Purely unplanned.


Now, you’ve grown up into a fine young woman.
Blooming into a fabulously beautiful flower.
Have a special birthday then baby sister
It was nice growing up with someone like you
- someone to lean on,
someone to count on,
someone to tell on!
And so I asked in prayer
For every moment to be blessed.






















Yours truely,
from farway land...
2nd sis


*A sister is a witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.

I've lost count of times I stoned, mentally shock, chocked, fainted, died and resurrected from the death reaching here. Keyword- resurrected, which means everything’s settled, life’s unbelievably fascinating here.
Imagine sweating every single time right after bathing, as though we just finish playing vigorous sports even though we barely move our asses.
Imagine waking up 6++am every morning thinking its 9am bcoz of the freaking whether.
Imagine having chapatti almost everyday with their traditional accustomed curry/ dial/ with weird colors, and all dishes in spicy form. Experience countless times of tummy acidosis until it got immune to it itself.

haha... nahh, life here's more civilized than our least expectation minus those small issues here and there. We're surviving. *bangganya!!!!* I’m amazed myself. We started our posting on 4th day. Our group started off with Obstetric and gynecology department last week. I tell u, the number of inpatients, even observing, case studying, witnessing surgeries( childbirth, toe amputation, etc), applying practical on patients and finally submission of our logbook reporting all assessment done is harder than going through A CHILDBIRTH. * ok I take that back, witnessing a childbirth makes u feel unlucky if u're not a guy.* But it's tough initially though, especially with all the language barrier, and the Team of local physiotherapy which consist almost 10 perfectionist, robotic, , machinary,strict, professional, really good looking and puhrreetyy ladies being our coordinator for each group. We're destined to be under high pressure. A preset standard is set and we're to attain it within this 6 months program. No one warn us about it. Okay maybe our seniors did but we didn't take them seriously haha.The immediate reaction is only to laugh it out then start doing what we need to do, other than that we didn't know how to react.
I realize I’ve been overly serious and formal for past few weeks. Accept for 1 thing!!! Our lecturers here are amazingly handsome and beautiful; they look as though they're movie stars acting in a drama as a lecturer. Sometimes u can just stare at them so long u'll get lost in time ......* no matter how unattractive or unfashionable they can be, they just make u wanna look at them. Ppl say the prettiest ppl u can find on earth is Indians. Looks like its true. haha... I know I sound so .......... but really lar... ^^

India in 3 days.

oh great!!
Days passed by so quickly.
Leaving on 24th April morning which means that's only 3 days 76 hours, 4560 mins 273600 seconds .....

=(

Looking back at those days in college where some1 would come up with
"eh, where we getting posted?"
"i wanna go there"
"Sabah QE??!!!"
"I"m confirm going India" -- This would only come out from Aaron's larynx.

India was never 1 of my choice, or my girls. And look at us now.
Whole 38 lot of us going there in the first batch. I must say i have not been accepting the fact that 6 months is long.
"6 months only" is always my answer.
Now and only now am beginning to accept the fact that I'm leaving my comfort zone, family, friends etc.

sh*t sh*t!!
Can i not leave so fast?
I'm still in the stay at home mood,
full time relying on maid,
having my own car and washing machine.

Dinner in the Ship with Uncle Lim and family was a starting point. *hugged Aunty Veron, and my heart just felt so heavy for the 1st time, my mind struggled to determine the sudden emotion. Waved them goodbye, told them i'll c u guys 2mr, later to realize all i did was just convincing myself that i wasn't leaving just yet. I held on to his shoulder which is the closest cling to support torso's equilibrium. Tears involuntarily appear. n i was tearing outside Pavilion. =.=
That heavy u can imagine. I began to mumble sounds that normally only kids would produce he must be thinking i'm crazy. My mind decided to admit that i was sad to leave. I hanged on to him even tighter. How come i don't feel it before this. I thought i was handling leaving all good. Living in denial did help me concentrate in finals last week, but not this week.
Who's gonna make me laugh other than my baby sister, siblings?
who's gonna give me words of wisdom during our meals?
no1's gonna nagged me to take honey every morning * yes by now u should kno i'm really spoilt*, no piano to bang,
no daily challenger for table tennis,
no more irritation/lame jokes from bros or the brother in law,
no more driver duty to the siblings,
no more studying beside stereo and my sofa,
no more msging ppl like usual,
going to church looking at unfamiliar faces with unknown language,
no sunday western lunch with the Godfamily , *yes missing only western food wtf*
no gempak choir to look forward to for 6 months =(........

Aihhh...

shall not think bout it d lar.
Later if i really dun wanna go daddy might take me seriously knowing he'll grant me whatever i want and then all plans can just go *ka boom* and there goes the effort.
Holding on tight to the 6 months ONLY with mayb an open mind this time.


Looking at the brighter side:

- ppl're giving many many *shun fun* ampaos $$$$, haha feels like it's new year now! =p
- i'm going in a group!!! chances of surviving is high i think
- away from distractions, i might even appreciate ppl and life better after experiencing 3rd world country.
- me, kathode, angel finally get to stay together
*angel's mom even think of the most inevitable excuses just in case some weird ppl try to part us from being roommates, how cool's that!
- guna to translate everything to us=)) no language barrier
- x 4getting henry the vege specialist.
- Get to experience, look, touch cadaver/corpse.
ok screw the touching part. haha... Put me in bungee jump and i might consider, cadaver no thank you, Mdm Meena's gonna be disappointed if she sees this.
- Fr Julian adviced to be extra careful regarding spirits.*oh oohh* hopefully he was just joking, can't elaborate his laughter knowing him, he sounded serious and comical at the same time. Mayb *touch wood* if IT will ever happen. 1st person to think of is Father lar, then only faint, or at least pretend to faint so it'll find me boring, and then go away ^^
- Reasonable prices for medical books and sarees, and their *double blings* accessories =p
- Then hor, then.... i might even meet ahrmmm....

A.R Rahman,

then he might most probably be with
pussycat dolls
at the same time for
Jaeho
live street performance...
Later on>>>

Dev Patel
appearing to be their guest of honor!
*like that'll ever happen*

calculating the probability= impossible i know
bt u never know?
*grinning too wide thinking bout it,
zygomatic major soring now*

Ps~ volunteers to help me pack?? *blinking innocently*

Fly to your heart

Watch all the flowers

Dance with the wind
Listen to snowflakes
Whisper your name
Feel all the wonder
Lifting your dreams
You can fly

Fly to who you are
Climb up on your star
You believe you'll find Your wings
Fly to your heart

Touch every rainbow
Painting the sky
Look at the magic
Glide through your life
A sprinkle of pixie dust
Circles the night you can fly

Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
You believe you'll find your wings
Fly

Everywhere you go
Your soul will find a home
You'll be free to spread your wings
Fly

You can fly to your heart,
Rise to the heights of all you can be
Soar on the hope of marvelous things

Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
You believe you'll find your wings
Fly

Everywhere you go
Your soul will find a home
You'll be free to spread your wings
Flyyou can fly to your HEART

=)

*Counting down- 11 days to India trip*
=(

Weep not for the memories.

11:39pm~ My phone vibrated. I almost cursed bcoz this unknown nomber called at such late hours. I mumbled to myself it better not be wrong nomber.

*answered the phone with a not so nice sweet u know d usual on the phone me tone*

hello
hi Lee Ann, this is K kay.
*Silence took over b4 she spoke again* arghghg... OMG, unless she has this psychic- cosmic mumbo jumbo, or there's leakage of information which is highly impossible due to me being so secretive, except for my sisters n dear which i doubt they'll b so free to f/o n tell her. Not a single soul in my ex-school knows bout it.

overwhelmed,
TOTALLY!

Thanks to these movies~ 13-30, bridewars, and the spring cleaning (that's when i found those letters)...
I wouldn't have been so emotional, which means my dear wouldn't have known,
and if he wouldn't have known he woundn't have googled her name, found a blog, added d blog owner on fb,he woundn't have found a mutual friend which both of us kno of * ahrmm gossiping bout bt not exactly gossiping lr, jus brief introduction on ....* and then asked her for her nomber, ect ect.....
Sincerely thank you.

I coulndn't ask for more, she's a digirian, n i'm a maxis user.
She didn't change much. More mature than me as usual. All this while she had an unanswered ques which she stills rmb but i don't. So sad. I wish i knew why and where did i got those irrelevant sources from. Anyway, i apologized. But ended up she did it more than me when she don't have to.Though it was obvious that me being ignorant was my fault.haha... typical her. She's too nice. *tq Lord*
Will be looking forward to our outing after finals b4 i leave for India.

Daddy was halfway planning for a combined farewell party for Me n el. I wasn't too keen at it due to finals next week. Told dad it's unnecessary plus i'll b away only for 6 months not years. So he's convinced to call if off. =))
THe next time if whoever ever ask what i wanna do b4 i leave, i would proudly say. *There's NOTHING more i could ask for than what i've now*

A value/ genuine friendship revived?
=)))

ps---*Will things still be the same like how it used to be, well making a mistake always have a price to pay*


I'm so happy she called. That's all i wanna say.
