Meaningful See-Saw

One's life is something like walking on the see-saw....


Start walking from the lower side and toward to the higher side..
And each subsequent step will become more difficult to be taken...


The higher you go, the tougher you find the balancing point...


When you are thinking that you are going higher and higher,
in fact you are going down the slope without knowing it....


Soon you will realise that you could never reach the highest point that you see....


Thereby, you struggle yourself by making a few turns on the see-saw..
You notice that it is a difficult task to reach the peak..
It is due to you are unable to find the balancing point all the while...


Finally, you understand that the peak is actually reached when you are able to locate the balancing point of your life...


However, you may reach the higher side if you have a strong support from your beloved family, lover or the enemy that you have got rid of...

My friend, ah xiang sent me these via email a few weeks ago and I found it very thought provoking and thus, would like share with you all here.

Again, today is the last day of my one and a half week of holidays. I had been to Pahang for community service and Malacca for sight seeing in this holidays. Thousands of photos will be uploaded here after I finished collecting them from my friends' camera. Please be patient. For the time being, I put 2 photos here first to reduce the thirst of my fans who tak sabar sabar wanna see them... hahaha..

Exam

Huh... Finally, I finished my last theory paper today. However, it is not the end of my exam. There is one more practical paper which is known as OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination) on next Tuesday. It is something like telematch games. Interesting right?? About 25++ stations that includes questions from all modules and strand will be settled up and we have to rush from one station to another to answer the question within 4 minutes in each station. Some stations will have simulated actors whom we need to communicate with. It makes the test is so excited and we may get heart attack at every second of the test. I think none of the other courses in whole Malaysia offer this type of assessment.

For those who know me long enough, they know that Chu Chun Hong is always confident at his academic achievement (except English-lah). Sadly, my confidence level is getting worse and worse each day now. I notice that I did not perform as well as I've done previously especially in this end semester exam. The effort that I have put was not reduced and yet the result yielded is below my satisfaction. Although the result is not out yet, I can roughly expect the grade I got. I feel challenged now. First, exam questions now are not asking about the correct answer but the BEST answer (it means the choices are all correct with minimal difference between them). Besides, luck does not help me much anymore. Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) normally consists of 4-5 options right?? Well, here I experience the "TRUE" MCQ which consists of 10 options and hence, there is only 10% of chance to guess the answer correctly. It is the matter of either you know or don't know. No more guessing. Haih.. T.T

Perhaps, it is time for me to review back my study methods and strategies. Otherwise, my glorious days will definitely become past tense and will not come back to me anymore. Study strategy are always dynamic. Thus, different approaches are needed for different stages of study. Critical thinking and strong memory as well as thoughtfulness play a major role here. The most important is I am clear that keep groaning is not the solution and I have to figure out some ways to improve as soon as possible so that I can move on in my studies.
(Feel like I am writing a reflective essay in Personal and Professional development Module and sorry for this boring post but I really need some self-motivation here.. =.=)

As usual, I end my post with a song and this song together with the effect of caffeine always make me shake my body while I am tired throughout the exam week.

Grandbuddy, Buddy and Me

Last Friday, I went to Sg. Wang to meet my buddy, Caryn (my third year leng lui senior la) straight after my formative assessment of urinary system. It has been sometimes that we do not sing karaoke with each other and thus, I booked a room for 2 people at Green Box with my friend's member card one day before that(why don't u apply one for yourself?? Dunno la.. Maybe I kiamsiap gua..). Besides 2 of us, she also invited my grandbuddy, Jian Yang (my forth year senior whom I had never met before). But, I still booked a room for 2 people as I remembered that he used to "fong fei kei", tell us he couldn't make it at last minute. Well, I don't think he remember that incident, So, I didn't expect he would be present for our outing. Once bitten, twice shy mah..

I reached there half an hour earlier and she appeared in front of me with a shrunk blouse as her top and jeans as her bottom at sharp 12 pm. First thing she told me was Jian Yang will be late and I thought he might not turn up again. ~~!!. We both went into the room and started first while waiting for his arrival. She sang many songs that I rarely listened before and same thing happened in the songs I sang. Half an hour later, Jian Yang came and joined us. He came all the way from HUKM with his heavy bag containing laptop. His first impression to me was a nerdy, quiet and boring guy (sorry-la, I know it is not good to judge people by their looks but I just can't help it).

Caryn sang very well and surprisingly, Jian Yang sang even much better. I think he has high chance to win in Astro Talent Quest if he joined. I was so "paiseh" there for being the worst. I think I have to apologise here for torturing their ears with my terrible voice. After she foot the bill (thanks yo for treating me ^^), we went to Times Square to buy birthday present for my friend and her friend. Since the food served in Green Box did not make us full, we grabbed some food again at Old Town and this time I was treated by Jian Yang. Thanks again. ^^. He is totally the reverse as what I had thought of him. He is quite friendly, talkative and always trying to makes fun with us although some of the jokes are quite "cold". Thus, don't ever judge a book by its cover.

Honestly, I rarely listen to Mandarin songs recently so it took me very long to choose a song to sing and I couldn't sing together with them because I am not really familiar with their new songs. Ok la... I got to continue with my study and hopefully I won't waste my study weeks on chatting nonsense in msn or watching TV.

My favourite song currently, The Man That Cant Be Moved by The Script

When Holidays End

In a few more hours, I will be back to Setapak where I usually stay during school days. T.T
Damn "ng sek tuck" (miss) my air conditioned room, mama home cooked food, deskstop with internet access, television with astro channel and everything in my home here. I think everyone is having the same feelings too, right? Haha, 'post-holidays' syndrome...

Before the 1-week Raya holidays, I have planned to finished my lecture notes of urinary system and revise the whole module of cardiovascular system. In the end, I found that I was very unproductive and only managed to do half of them. But I am still grateful than at least my achievement in this holidays is better than the previous mid sem break when i just kept chasing Hong Kong drama...

Next week will be a very hectic week. One formative assessment on friday, 2 clinical skill sessions on tuesday and thursday respectively, numerous practicals and lectures are waiting for me. Fainted. @@

I won't be blogging here for the next whole week as I am the only person out of 227 students in my course who does not possess a laptop. Many of my coursemates were surprised and thought I was trying to joke (it's not funny at all) when I told them I do not have a laptop. They asked me why I don't buy it as everyone owns it. But for me, why should I buy something I don't really need although it is in everyone's hands? A laptop is not a must for medical students (of course, it does help a lot). Some may become low self-esteemed due to not owning somethings that commonly owned by ohers but I am the reverse. I am proud of saying out what I don't have. Proud of not possessing. Proud of NOT BEING INFLUENCED!! Same case goes to my cell phone which only can call and sms while others have camera, recording, bluetooth and many more functions that I don't know. Haha. I am kinda dumb in these technologies. However, those who get the hints here and wish to present me new phone or laptop on my birthday are welcomed.. =3=

Song of the day: When I Grow Up by Pussycat Dolls



When I grow up I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
When I grow up,I wanna see me, me on TV, people know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, freshly cleaned, number one chick, wanna step out on the scene

^3^.... cool song...

Not The First Post

Everyone seems to have their own blogs. I also used to have one but it has been abandoned due to my laziness to blog... What makes the idea of blogging appear in my mind again?? First and foremost, I wish to have my fond memories to be stored at somewhere instead of just losing them in my brain... Secondly, I hope to share my thoughts and feelings more with others via the blog..

In fact, those are not so "important" reasons for me to create a blog. I found that my english is deteriorating each day (well, i dun think my english is good before).. Sigh, what to do? I can hardly get the chance to speak or write in this language.. My vocab and grammar are equally weak.. Don't believe?? Below are parts of the conversation between I and my buddy, caryn.

" We stayed in a doom during the camp."
"I got to go to HUKM to pass some stuffs back to my menthol."

She laughed till rolling on the floor after reading it..... ==

Recall back when i was form 3,

My English teacher asked me to read the synopsis of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde" loudly,

"Mr. Hyde is evil and cruel."

I mistakenly pronounced ee-vil as a-vil... (i thought e-ver and e-vil are the same)
Whole class laughed and even the teacher recommended me to go singapore to replace Phua Chu Kang as my slang was funnier than him... I felt like wanna find a hole and hide... It was so embarrassing....

Form 5, during the English Oral Test,
we were asked to form a group and talked among the group member in front of the examiner and the class..

I started the conversation by,

"Hello, long time no see everybody!"

Whole class laughed again and at first, I did not know why they were laughing and i thought they were giving support to me.. Later only i found out that "long time no see" is not a proper English phase (sorry, it is phrase, you see i got wrong again. thx jino) ... Swt..Swt...

Hopefully my English can be improved by blogging and if you are kind enough, please pray for me that i will be persevered enough to update this blog... and sorry for my "ciplak" English written here... =)
