First day of CNY..

Gong xi fa cai every1 !
Wherever you are.. i hope that you are all enjoying yourselves very much.

My first day of cny started with tea ceremony for dad and mum.. a tradition passed on since my grandparents were still around. Its a form of good-wishing and cultivation of respect for the elderly. And its also the only way the young ones get the thickest ang pows :p

The day continued on a lil slightly slow and monotonously.. but things got a lil spicy when the family decided to open a deck of cards and start putting the Ox's luck to the test.

We played poker and i felt like i was cheating the money of others.. I practically won almost every round.. but since we played using only coins, it wasn't exactly a huge amount of winnings.

Anyway.. Its only around 5 in the afternoon now.. who knows who'll come later and what winnings await me.


Until then, i hope every1 is having fun now. GXFC (Gong xi fa cai) =)

My template colour

In conjunction with the Chinese New Year, i have decided to put up a TEMPORARY 'bright' and 'happy' template colour.

Orange was thought to be most suitable since it is the colour in between gay pink and eye-hurting red.

Hence.. orange is good !

To all those still in black --> time to change.. at least for the new year ok?



Happy new year and take care =)

Gong Xi Fa Cai !!

Wishing ya'll a very happy chinese new year !
To all those going back to their hometowns, hope you will all have a safe a pleasant journey.
To those who would be driving long distances, drive safely and may you be able to avoid the horrific jam! and please do not do stunts (like ampang boy)!

Savour the cookies, collect the ang pows, put aside the worries and just enjoy the new year !

Gong xi fa cai, see ya'll in the new year of the Ox =)

Fear

You might or might not realise this, but fear dominates a large part of our life. Everyone has fear. A major reason why we do the things we hate, and we stop ourselves from doing the things we would really want to do.. is because there is fear.

We do our daily assignments because we fear failing, we abide by the rules and regulations because we fear the law, a child listens to every word told to him because he fears getting scolded, we fake a front in public because we fear being unaccepted, we lie and hide the truth because we fear the reaction of others..

Whether it is fear of failing, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown or even the fear of ourselves.. essentially, we all have fear and it plays a large role in regulating our lives.
Inevitably, we create a small shell.. trapping our selves in it, trying to feel safe and secure in it, living our lives within our own cage, binding and restriciting our very own freedom solely because of fear.

But fear is essential, because one with no fear of anything is like a cancer cell that is unstopable and hence must die.

Fear can either be a motivation, or a hindrance. Which role it plays in your life lies all in balance.
How we live our life will depend on how we balance one fear with another, and how we treat our fears.
If one decides to allow fear to dominate, then he is not living life but just merely existing in an enclosed chamber he created to encage himself.

The next time fear comes into mind, remember to strike a balance. Let fear stop your acts of stupidity, but dont let fear come in the way of life.

Live life, or just exist...
Be motivated, or be restricted?
The choice is all ours to make.

Sem 4's rating

I remember the time when i just passed my sem 3 resit. I said sem 4 would be an interesting semester.. new bonds, drama, new stories, new friends..etc-etc

I WAS WRONG !

Sem 4 is all about the portfolios, the lethargy, the pain, the frustration..

My rating for sem 4:

OUt of 5





I give a generous 1:-

Child killer

7 January 2009..
Shant Raj - 7 years old

May your death due to overdose of Amoxycilin 'dry syrup powder' be a relatively fast and painless one.

After the first drug i dispensed during the first dispensing practical of my life.. i have now officially become a child killer..

Energy.

Energy is a very important thing. My energy for 2008 just got depleted.. and just like the print quota for sem 4.. it has not been replenished yet..

Lethargy.. a sensation that creeps in my veins. Fortunately i have still not yet started sleeping in classes. Ironically, for one of the few lectures i did not sleep, i got accused of sleeping becoz i was looking down checking to see the unsymmetrical-ness of both my shoes for 5 seconds and looking at the time on my phone for another 5 seconds.. bad luck.

But thats not the point..the point is.. like Ray said.. i look like this-->


But wat to do.. lethargic la 'tai lou'..

My energy level was so low, my brain was not even supplied with sufficient energy to comprehend the fact that question "Can anyone help Prof Yeoh at 8.30am?" would signal the need to activate chameleon abilities..
Too bad la.. even under sub-threshold levels of peer pressure, i stood up.. (habis la)


Good luck in doing reports.. time for me to sleep.. cya'll on monday.


Edit:
After using my superb knowledge on Drug metabolism.. mayb it wasn't the energy.. mayb it's just the Cy P450 enzyme system that is not very efficient.. So got a lot of in my blood.

Mayb now.. after all the endogenous materials have been excreted/metabolized.. i can go from

to



OK.. so now:
Study? -- YES
Report? -- YES
Portfolio? -- YES
Ice skating? -- ...... (didnt hear that)

A New Year...

Its that time of the year again, a time to welcome the new year, and time to wave goodbye to the old year of 2008.
A time to cheer, a time to enjoy and a time to be merry.

But theres more to 'New Year' than just celebrations.. It is during this time that we reflect on all that we've achieved or did not achieve in the past, plan for the year ahead and prepare for all the big challenges that accompany the great joys installed for us.

So anyway, treat 2008 like sem 3's notes.. chuck it aside, throw it, burn it.. doesnt really matter.. Just REMEMBER it.
Treat 2009 like an exam answer script.. try your best and do what you think is right.. just make sure you dont leave it blank..

To everyone reading this:
Happy new year 2009 !!
This year, like all others - Make it count =)
