Summary of 2009/2010.

It's been a time since i've updated my blog. But anyway, a lot of things have gone throughout these two months.

Should I say time flies? Because i really don't feel the time really hangs around. Everyday, the time is just packed up like sardins in the can. Morning wake up, lecture, revise, facebook, until the time when i'm exhausted, sleep. More or less, my day just passed like that. U can say that is dull, dry, boring, whatever. I just felt nothing. Maybe I've adapted to this kinda lifestyle. It's kinda hard not to adapt actually. I'm here, oversea(really over the sea), alone, single and available, stay in a single room, with two little black ants constantly accompanying me(I love u guys!). If I don't accept the fact, how am I suppose to move on?

Let me take a step backwards, and look at my past one year all over again. I'll try to summarize them.

Let me see, of course first thing i came here of course is trying to adapt myself. Even though Sarawak is still the same country and Homo Sapiens all over the place, things, people, events, culture, this and that are... You can say that is different, yet not so different. Of course chinese still eat pork here, just the way of communicating and socialising is different. It's hard you know. New people, new attitude, new kind of judgement, new kinda mentality... But I found it cool, and interesting.

There's one incident, which is not very pleasant, but i learnt a lot of things from there. Yeah, I admit that i'm a bit of an arrogant guy. One year before, this is what I think: I've good grades, got into medical school, sports not bad, good looking(don't envy please), sociable, leadership, blah blah blah... Come on! Let's face it, a lot of the people here have those criteria I have. Anyway, back to the incident, full story please refer to the post titled: Roller Coaster of Life. I meet different kind of people, who have their own thoughts and ideas, for me kinda never encounter before. It's a bit of a mental shock. But I learnt that people can go to great lengths when they don't want something that they don't like to happen. Kinda shocked. But anyway, I hope things can smooth out. My opinion is just eyes should be opened wider, to see a clearer picture, conversation is to be build, to learn that person better. That's all.

That's one part. Next part i'm going to talk about is erm... Human-to-human communication. I think universities should set up a course on this subject. Every human, is different. Most can be strangers, some can be friends, some can be enemies, few can be into relationships, only a handful can be truthful. Universities, everyone is a grown-up(even though still below 21, but who cares...). Have their own thoughts, own mentality, own stand, and own philosophy. First day when you talk to them, you get along well. But soon enough, they can see you as total strangers. What I can say is, even though we meet everyday, maybe talk a lot of times, have lunch together..... but you still not sure whether u call him a friend? Colleague? Partner? Enemy? Stranger? It's just cant fall into neither of these categories.

In schooling time, moral textbooks said a lot of teachings such as treat people truthful, honest, kind hearted... Well, that can remain as textbook lessons. Practically, in University, if you apply all those moral values, I'm not sure how long you can stand, if you can survive over it. Hello~ wake up! You are not in school anymore, university is the last step before you enter into the real world. So, I suggest start using your brain to interpret everything you face in university. Don't just simply give your heart away, as you may not take it back... 


Ok. Next, is the "colourful" life of a medical student. It's colourful you know. All the anatomy diagrams, biochemistry flow, all come with colours in reference books(please don't count photostat books, black and white is not colour). They are our friends. Saying more hello to them than to a Homo Sapien. One thing I enjoy among those studies are just anatomy. Kinda easy for me to remember those muscles, nerves, bones. E.g.: I may have Carpal Tunnel Syndrone due to prolonged compression of my Median Nerve while I was typing this blog. Other than that, another thing I rather enjoy is the night life i've went so far. Haha... A great way to de-stress when the remixed music pound into the ears to the brain.

Alright, seems like I've written quite a long page. So as for the summary, everyone's life is difficult, it just depends on how that person want to life their life. I am who I am, I can tell you I dun like bowing to brute force. People with reasons I always accept. What I have to say to the world is: "Bring it on!"
