It is my 3rd day in my new uni. How is life? OK I guess. Well, met few old friends and made some new ones too. But not everyone. Apparently there is about 90 plus of us in this batch. Hope to know everyone soon. We will be going on a transition camp from tomorrow till Saturday in PD. It is for us to know each other better. Can't wait for the camp. But I am praying there is no jungle trekking at night. Not that I hate jungle trekking but seriously at night? I still remember what happened when I went jungle trekking at night once during high school. It was secondary jungle full of durian trees and as we were walking one of the durian just fell right in front of a teacher. Imagine what will happen if it fell on her head? So pls not at night.
Orientation here is so much different. And I am missing my friends from IMU.
Btw, was listening to radio this morning while driving and they were discussing an interesting topic: Can guys have just friendship with a girl and not expect anything more?
Many called in to say that it is quite impossible while some said they could.
Personally, I think it is possible. What makes it impossible is that when people around you do not understand or view your close friendships differently. There many true friendships of opposite sex out there. So just ignore what others have to say and carry on as friends.
True friends are hard to come by. So if you have one, don't let others destroy it.
Looking forward for the camp tomorrow :)

The Other Side
I was sitting in Mcd today waiting for my dad to come. Place was packed as usual. I have this "bad" habit of observing people when I have nothing to do. There was this couple with their kid. I guess the kid was probably 2 or 3. And guess what the mother was doing?
She was throwing all her used tissue paper on the floor. When the first one fell, I thought it was just accidental and she will pick it up but no she continued what she was doing. What is she trying to teach her child?
This reminded what happened in KFC . My friends and I were having lunch there couple months back and there was a family of 5 sitting next to us. After finishing their meal, the mother sent 3 of her kids to get straws from the counter. She sent each of them separately and each come back with about 15 to 20 straws. She then carefully wrapped them with the tissue paper and took them back home. I know the straws are free but 20 straws? Wonder what she wants to do with them.
Anyway, I had so many people asking me am I excited and ready for tomorrow. The truth : I am also not so sure.
Just hope everything will be fine.
Hope.......

Farewell...
It's my last day in IMU. Woke up early as I was not able to sleep (this has been happening quite frequently this week). I wonder why?
I had a farewell lunch with my friends from IMU in Sri Petaling. If you guys happen to read this: THANK YOU very much not just for the lunch but everything. To Daphne, Guan Ming, Jian Ren, Kai Rou, Whei Ying, Jin Hui, Jeannie, Ee Laine, Qi Hong and Peggy, thank you for the lunch and the wonderful time we had talking about practically everything.
You guys have been wonderful friends. I think we practically knew each other for about 6 months or so now, but we have been very close like we have known each other for long. I will definitely miss you guys. I hope to find friends like you all in my new place. Hope our friendship will blossom and we should meet once in a while. I guess IMU and Monash is not that far apart. (According to Jin Hui he can reach within 3 minutes). That's cool but pls don't try it.
As I am writing this I am thinking of all the wonderful moments that we had together and my first moments in IMU. I still remember my first day in IMU. After the registration and collecting my lab coat ( I could use size S. I wonder how big L would be), we had the white coat ceremony where I sat alone wondering whether I will have close friends here. After that was the tour around IMU and back home. I was really thinking in the car, if I could ever fit in here. All my questions were answered the very next day. Orientation started and there I met my group mates. Trying to come with our group name ( Genesix : A fantastic name I feel), our group leader ( Jian Ren : A nice leader) and our cheers (we had good cheers because of our OO's). Everything just seemed to happen well. Orientation was probably my most memorable time in IMU. As Daphne said to me the other day : Orientation does wonders). Through this I became close to my group mates who in return turned into my close friends in IMU. Through them I made other new friends. Everything was like a snowball effect. Taking part and working together for all the events just brought us closer together.
Then there was the first lecture that I will never forget. I could barely understand what the lecturer was trying to say due to his accent. OMG. I was sitting there in LT2 and wondering what is going to happen. Thank god we did not have much of this lect in Sem 1. Then there was my first PBL: Allopecia. It was another wonderful group people. We were very noisy before, during and after PBL. I wonder what the other groups next to us might be thinking of us. After that this was practically my routine : lect, pbl mms, library ( sometimes) , cafe and back home. Then came my first exam, which I was studying very hard for till I heard that I made it through my interview. My friends from college told me to stop studying. Kezanne's exact words : Screw the test. I think I did n0t screw it badly but...
Next was my first CSU session. History taking. I really screwed mine. My "kind" SP was very quite and would not speak much. How I am supposed to ask questions when she was not keen on answering. Anyway still did it.
CSU was fun though with the bp, pulse and temp measurement and IM injection. Found out that my pressure was low. Quite ironic as I was stressed that day. My last few days here, I still attended lectures, pbl and lab cause I was too bored at home.
And today, I had to bid farewell to all. Not as if I am leaving the country like few of my batch mates, but I will be leaving 6 months of good friends and fond memories. Said all my good byes and hugged a few. Went down to the cafe to have my waffle ( Choc and cappuccino is the best). I might just go back for the waffle. Was sitting with Daphne and enjoying our waffles where more people came to say goodbye.
As I walked down to the car park, I was wondering what a wonderful time I had here. I came thinking how will I fit here and today I am proud to say I have done well. Thanks to all my good friends.
To all my friends above : Thank you once again. You have my life in IMU a very memorable one even for such a short period of time. Hope we can will keep in touch with each other and go out for lunch again. Good luck and take care. Will miss you guys.
To all my batch mates( that I know by name, person or both) : Good luck with all future your undertakings and all the best.
Good bye.......

I am here
I am new here. Not that I am new to blogging, I have moved. Now I am wondering whether should I move all my old posts here. Should I or shall I start anew? A fresh start would be a good option but what about my "precious" old posts?
Finally, after much consideration I have decided to start fresh. Have not been a very regular blogger in my old place so hope the “new place” will attract me blog often. There are many things here that were not there. Anyway, let’s hope for the best.
It is not just moving my blog is a new beginning, I will be moving to a new uni as well this coming Monday. I will be leaving the current one today. So sad to leave, but………..Well, I will dedicate the next post to all my friends in IMU. So wait…
Worms
After the long and eye straining lab session, I bid farewell to the lab. I had few funny moments in this lab. I had my first lab session in IMU in this lab. This is where we were all first introduced to the soap dispenser that is controlled by your foot. Wow cool. I still remember some stepping the paddle over and over again with their feet for the soap. Some even washed their hands so many times just because they enjoyed playing the dispenser. But beware: too much of soap made their hands dry. So goodbye lab......
