for the past few weeks, my feelings have been at two extremes. when i think of something, i feel extremely happy, and on the other hand, when i think of another thing, i feel extremely sad. sigh. i seriously need to reflect.
anyway, orientation for the juniors has started. after having yet another dilemma on deciding whether or not to become orientation officer (OGL) , i have ended up becoming the OO for group ONEders. the reason that motivates me to keep taking part in the activities is that my group members are really a bunch of fun people la, so unlike us last time. haha. but on the other hand, summative is coming soon, really soon. and i am so unprepared. pathology ,immunology, parasitology ,microbiology ,pharmacology, and community medicine. so much to study. ah!!
but something to look forward to , that is the trip to sg after summative :) :) :) cant wait to go back and visit around. work hard!

in memory of a friend
Things changed. Changed really fast. so much can happen in just a month time.
One month ago, she was still happily enjoying time with her family. but on the next day, she is gone. so sudden. so unpredictable.
i recalled the crazy moments that we had. the time when both of us walked along bukit timah late at nite, trying to explore the area around our hostel eventhough its really quite dangerous. the time when we first explore the mrt system in singapore and went blindly to orchard. the time when we go for lectures, tutorials and even toilets together. and the time when we had our class bbq at east coast. the time that we crazily go around hostel and took pics of the five star prison. the card that i made for u before u left singapore. and the farewell card that u wrote for me.
and i remember the time that i last sent u off to bus station in singapore when u were leaving back to penang. and now you left. really left us. and i couldnt send you off for the last time. but i am really thankful to be able to know you, although just for a very brief period. Rest in peace, nn.

pics!
Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.
climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each new passing moment,
and the view from the summit will prove to be astonishing.

down
defective lacrimal glands
which no doctors can cure
only time can heal them.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change;
courage to change the things i can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Mountain climbing
went for mountain climbing for the past two days. initially, i was really excited and looking forward to this trip as this would be my first hiking. but something happened last weekend and thus i was having a dilemma to decide whether i should still go on with my plan of hiking. in the end, i decided to go because life is short, i must really do what i want to do when i still have the chance. i have no regrets in making the decision as i really enjoyed the trip:)
venue: gunung besar hantu ( freaky name yea! haha, but thankfully we didnt meet any erm suspicious-weird-scary creatures)
characters: 17 of us from M207 batch, 10 girls and 7 guys,led by RM and Roderick, together with 2 guides
we departed from imu at around 8 plus on thursday nite. it was later than what we have planned. anyway, it started raining when we reached our destination. irony aint? coz gunung besar hantu is located in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, supposedly the driest area in Malaysia. and the plan was slightly affected as we now cannot set a tent outside. in the end, we all slept in a open space with a nice shelter somewhere near our supposed camping site. thankfully i manged to sleep a bit even with the snores at the background. the snores sound like a choir, with different pitch, volume.... haha :P
the next day, after breakfast, we headed to the police station at kampung chennah to park our cars there. thereafter, we took 4WD to bring us to the base of the mountain. the journey on 4WD was really exciting. the bumpy road really kill our ass! then we begin our hiking up the hill. torny plants, ferns, and the slopes toughen the hiking. but nevertheless, we made it through to the base camp and according to the guide, we are the fastest group ever :) :) :) so proud of myself. ahem, but felt bad also coz i am quite slow and this dragged the whole team down. sigh.
since we reached the base camp earlier than expected, the guide brought us to the nearest water source to bath. woa, the the cooling river water splashing on our body, bliss :) then the guys set up a camp fire and we also cook our food. all of us went to bed early as we have to wake up at 2am next day so that we manage to catch the first glimpse of sun rise. despite the 'flooded' tent, all of us slept well.
at 2am next day, we woke up and prepare breakfast. there after we left the base camp and started our hike up to the summit. it was really dark. and the path is really steep and dangerous. any mistake will cause tragedy. really thankful that izzat is infront of me, leading me all the way up and lending me a hand when i needed help. finally, at around 6am, we reached the summit!!! from there we can see lights of genting highland. standing at the height of 1492m peak, inhaling the cool breeze, the feeling is heaven. we crowd around the firepit as it is really very very cold up there while waiting for the sun rise. but to our disappointment, we didnt get to see sunrise because the mist is really very thick.
so we descend down to the base camp. the descending part is the part that i hated the most. i slipped all the way down as i see no point standing up coz i will end up slipping also. then before we go back , we went to the waterfall. oh man, it is the tallest waterfall that i have ever seen. i decided to sit at the stone and admire the nice breath taking sceneries while looking at the rest cam whoring :P
i learnt a lot from this hiking experience. and definitely gain precious friendship. as RM said, life is just like climbing mountain, there are ups and downs. but the important thing is that we are not facing it all by ourselves, we still have friends to support us. i really want to thank all those that went for the hike and help me throughout the hike. and thank you for adding this wonderful page in my life :)
