random

start of a new semester, end of holidays. tho i wish it were longer.




our timetables are much more packed this time. 2 pbl's per week for 10 weeks, 8 lab sessions in whole, 86 lectures, 5 csu's, cpr professional course, and all the other long list of unmentioned. Classes in the afternoon, 1.30- 3.35 pm. right. pbl's 4-5.30 pm. ok....

not sure if I'm really really prepared for the semester. but as it is, I need to getting prepared, and fast. this sem has only 12 short weeks, followed promptly by summative at the end of week 12, and Eos big bang. And I don't intend to sit the exams twice.

I've still got COP report, havnt done. deadline fri morn = thurs night. I dont wanna procrastinate more this semester. cant afford to.

funny tho that I wasnt overwhelmed by today's briefing. I guess the point is not being overwhelmed, its taking everything in stride. Using each moment to the max. Living the dream.

I think I posted the following before, but I still think its relevant ;p wonder what us medical students will become one day ;p

anyone can imagine what I'll be one day? ;p

I miss you...just want you to know that I love you, and owiz wil. Yrs, now and foreva. Hugz, Jo

For my Special One...

For my Special One...

The times we did the "conventional", cooking and baking...
The times we spent hand in hand, skating , walking, dancing... and stepping on each other's toes...
The apple pies and ice creams and fried chicken and cupcakes and pineapple tarts...
The games we played on msn, and Alice Greenfingers...
The times we spent at movies, with nature, with each other's families, and most importantly, with each other...

I know those are just some of the many things we did during the holidays, and I know that you, just as much as me, enjoyed and appreciate those moments... and wished that we had more time with each other... Those were the precious sweet memories that we shared, the images that will bring a smile, laughter, and even tears...

And I know we will have much more of these moments to come. I know you and I ,we're looking forward to it. And until then, we'll hang on to the memories, we'll live each moment to the fullest, we'll climb higher knowing we have each other, and the One who loves us and gave His all...

I know this is not the easiest time for you and me, but I want you to know we can do it. We survived before, we will again.

And baby, I just wanna let you know that I'm yours, now and forevermore...baby I love you.

Looooonnnnngggggggg hugz

xoxo,
jo

Ramblings....

I've always thought that I'm a more "guyish girl" than a "girlish girl". Not that either is better than the other, although society seems to favour the latter.

And I realised something that has always made me a lil more moody,impatience each time it happens... WAITING.

And yes, it happened so many times. G7 last year... how many times we stood sunbathing, waiting for someone to make a decision on where to eat...and finally ending up at the same old place each day! aww man and I did tell them we would end up there...

Then there are malaysian wedding/wedding receptions. SO TYPICAL!
"Dinner to be served at 7.30pm SHARP"
...and in walks the bride and groom at 8.10pm( ok nevermind, 7.45pm) while 40% of the people sit waiting and the 20% are finding parking and the remaining 40% still on the way/ at home "preparing".

and yet, people drive on the road as if they are rushing somewhere, time is not on their side. wait a minute...that makes sense.
person procrastinates/ delays -> rushes on the road, less regard to safety -> accidents

is it a wonder why malaysian accident rates are so high? *shakes head in disgust

first world facilities, third world mentalities.

Just saying....

3D vs 2D, 3D definitely has its benefits... As when a person is right beside us, instead of photographs and screen-barriers... Thank you for being the tremendous blessing in my life...for blessing me with "you"

Tasting, even savouring and appreciating the moments of standing in roaring waves, allwing the waves to wash over...

It is these times that we learn to grow stronger, to stand strong yet be still and know the one in control...


Remembering the times when I was young, the childlike believe... believing that eating the seed of fruits will cause a fruit tree to grow in me... believing even that sucking honey from the plant below will make flowers grow in my stomach...leading to the tossful and sleepless nights...
May we grow up while maintaining the childlike faith that is so pleasing in Your eyes...



The time tested saying, hard pressed but not crushed... (hope i got it right)
Thank you all for telling me never,never ever to to give up, to give in...
