Huluran Kasih

YAY!! Anat Class Test 2 and Physio SDL/Non-SDL Test is OVER~~!! But it also means spotters and block exams is drawing near. Got to really get down to business already!

The last week has been quite boring for me. I spent most of my free time sleeping, and some time studying for testS. Biochem PBL on Kreb's Cycle is on Tuesday, and I have not started preparing anything. Crap!

Just now, I attended a meeting by Huluran Kasih. Going as a freshman of batch24, I only knew a few seniors. Soon after I arrived, Dawson and Reena came too. So all in all only 3 batch24-ians came. I remember few weeks back, when those interested to join Huluran Kasih were asked to write our names on a piece of paper, a long list of at least 30 people filled up. And today, only 3 people came. Batch24-ians are really fei kei wongs (飞机王). During the meeting, I was happily talking to WeiYi, suddenly the prez told me that I'm the new rep for batch24. I was stunned. But after some thought, this should be a club worth investing time in. Huluran Kasih is basically a charity club. They visit slums to help the poorest of the poor. There will be a visit to a special-school soon. Not very sure about the details, but I promise to update more soon.

That's about it for my weekend. Kinda dull huh? I know. Need to get more life. LOLz~~

LIFE

I CUT MY HAIR IN INDIA!! OMGosh!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! And guess the price? Rs30 (RM2.30) only!! Haha~~ NO! No pictures. Don't even ask..

Following up on Jeoffrey's status, he left us on Saturday night, the night before Easter Sunday. Despite so many prayers and cries, He still did not spare him. Does this mean that we were praying against His will? Or is there another testimony to be told? Hmm..

Few days ago, I received an sms from my dad to call back Malaysia because my grandmother's condition worsen. However I only read the sms an hour later because I was sleeping. After reading the sms, I swear my heart stopped a beat. In my half-awake mood, I was stunned. I replied the sms to ask if it is too late to call. My dad replied to say that my grandmother's condition improved, hence no need to call. I felt alot more at ease. If I had missed the last chance to talk to my grandmother, I'll never forgive myself for taking a noon-nap.

Maybe I shouldn't be talking about this incident, but just yesterday, a batchmate suddenly skipped half a day's lectures. Later in the day I heard that she was on her way back to Msia because her father just passed away. I don't know how true is the news, but she really is back in Msia already.

The above events really give me a reality slap on the vulnerability of life. It got me thinking, how would I react if it was my relative who *touch wood* passed away? And if I were to rush back to Msia, what difference would it make? Even if I return as a qualified doctor, it's still pointless overall. Or if I were to remain in Manipal, how would it affect me emotionally?

Questions on LIFE has no true or false answers. After learning the very basic anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of our body, I can't stop thinking that our body is built just perfectly and wonderfully. One small injury in a somewhat insignificant area may cause permanent injuries or even death. The beauty of our entire body organisation reflects the greatness of our creator. My creator is definitely God, how about your's?

My whole point is this: Life is short, vulnerable and unpredictable. Just live everyday to the fullest and be happy. Remember that 1minute of anger is 60seconds loss of happiness. And never plan too far ahead, for it is said in the Bible: "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matt 6:34 NIV


..............................



On the happier note, I did very well for my mock anatomy table test two days ago. No need to know the marks, just be happy for me. And that table test marks the last day with our beloved table lecturer, Dr. Bincy M George. Tomorrow onwards, we'll be getting a new table lecturer to teach us about the lower limbs. We'll miss you Dr. Bincy!! Hope you won't get students better than us in your next table.. =P

Students of table 1 with our cadaver and Dr. Bincy


And whoever told you medical students are boring people has not joined a medical school. Introducing Shawn. He went into the skeleton display cabinet and posed in anatomical position, while YangZat tried to locked him inside. .. LOL!!

The stupid things we do everyday..


Last Saturday, I received the parcel from my parents!! I was so happy when the hostel office called and to collect it. Back in my room, I immediately opened it up and unpacked the stuff. Maggi meeeeeee!!!! Oh Maggi.. India's Maggi sucks to the max. Sama-sama "Maggi" brand but the taste is 200% different. 150% awful and 50% weird. And chocolates!! OMG just yesterday I kept swallowing chocolates to reduce my extremely high cortisol level. In case you don't remember, cortisol is a stress hormone.

The parcel~~ See the Hello Panda? Haha

My supply of dry food and instant noodles =)

My supply of chocolates =D

Oh ya, our first Physiology PBL presentation today was horrible, terrible and vegetable. Basically everyone of us got shot in the head by Mr. JayPrakash's Magnum Sniper, and our group leader, Sashee got sprayed by his AK47. While presenting our conclusion, JP kept asking Sashee whether she was sure of our hypothesis. Then when she said yes, he said no; When she said no, he said yes. Wth man. And after such a terrible presentation, he still can smile and say "good". Damn darn sarcastic wei. All of us beh tahan his senyum kambing.

Next week will be hectic again, Anat class test 2 on Monday, and Physio class test 1 on Saturday. (At least we 1st batch ppl are over with Physio PBL, 2nd batch will have their PBL on Thursday. Those lagi syok, 2 test and 1 presentation in a week. Yeng ar!) And I heard Biochem class test 1 will be somewhere in the following week. @.@.. So, this maybe my last post in the next week. It really isn't easy to squeeze out an hour to blog like this. 1 hour is hellalot of time to study weiii.

Signing off now, bye!

The Real Me

In the past one week, I had many problems affecting me physically, mentally and emotionally. I questioned myself on why am I here? Why am I studying med? Why am I having so much problems? Was it all my fault? Yesterday, at one of the lowest point in my life, I even fell sick. I couldn't hardly eat my dinner, and could not even talk straight. I felt that the whole world was crushing down on me.

Before I went to bed, as usual, I randomly opened up "Our Daily Bread" booklet and it was on March 14th's passage on disappointment in life. In my half-drowsy mood I read that passage and the conclusion was this, "In our seasons of disappointment, we too can find comfort in God, who cares for our broken hearts." Suddenly I felt that God was trying to speak to me. After doing yesterday's quiet time, I went to sleep with a much encouraged heart. In the middle of my sleep, I received a call from Benny, and smses from DeZhi and PangHan. And that also encouraged me quite a fair bit. I never thought that people actually cared. After a 14-hour-sleep, I felt much better.

In the late morning, I received an sms from John and Chris, saying that there will be a urgent prayer meeting at KMC green's stage to pray for Jeoffrey at 12.30pm. I don't know who he is, but I've heard a bit about his condition. Basically Jeoffrey is a fellow churchmate of BreadOfLife, who has multiple organ failure, and is currently in MICU (Multi-disciplinary Intensive Care Unit). He is 100% on life support machines, and is really in need of a miracle. Since I was feeling much better, I decided to go for the prayer meeting. What's my little sickness in comparison to Jeoffrey's condition? And at the prayer meeting, I was amazed how they could gather up almost the whole church with such a short notice of less than an hour.

The faith and crys of their heart really got me to think that no one is strong enough to live alone in this world, we all need support. In such critical stage of a person's life, even when doctors had given up, these group of churchmates has not given up hope. For once I felt the unity and support of a church.

Back in my hostel, I read this email from uncle Teh about an interview with Rick Warren. FYI, Rick Warren is the author of the all time best selling "Purpose Driven Life". The last time I updated, more than 20million copies has been sold.

The email:
You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales . This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, author of 'Purpose Driven Life ' and pastor of Saddleback Church in California.

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: "People ask me, What is the purpose of life?" And I respond:

"In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one or two or more. You never know.

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.

I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.

And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church. Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do..

That's why we're called human beings, not human doings."

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD
Painful moments, TRUST GOD
Every moment, THANK GOD


In a nutshell, my Easter holidays has been very fruitful in terms of getting back on track with God, and also with my fellow friends. After the self-reflection I've done by the sea, and the series of events mentioned above, I realised that all my problems arised from the very fact that I was too engrossed in making sure everything was perfect, so much so I failed to realised that I am only human. As Rick Warren said, "life is a series of problems... You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others."

I really need to stop being so selfish, and learn to think from the point of view of others. I'm sorry if I've done or said anything hurtful. Let's just let things be how it used to be.

A list of things I wanna change in the next 2months:
1) Be stronger in every aspect, so that the people around me would not need to worry about me anymore..
2) Be more sensitive towards the needs of other people, and Learn to put their needs above my own..
3) Tear my pride away that I have nothing but God to boast..

I don't mind letting everyone know what a weakling I am deep within. I'm tired of putting up a false smile mask everyday that completely covers up my sorrows and problems, at the same time giving people a false impression that I'm strong and care-free. This would be the 1st step to tear away my pride.

Before I go, I just want to wish everyone out there all the best in whatever you are doing. Don't make the same stupid mistake I've been making for the past 18years of my life. Have a great weekend ahead, God Bless!!

Malpe Beach

Friday and the weekend will be our Good Friday and Easter Sunday HolidayS. Hence 19 of us, went down to Malpe Beach to chill out. However our main motive for the trip was to celebrate our "1 month anniversary" in Manipal. We arrived on the 9th of March, and it was 9th of April yesterday. Shawn and Benny's idea. Lolz

Malpe Beach

Let's see if I can remember who went. (Arrangement of names are in no particular order k) The testoterones were Shawn, Edmond, Benny, DeZhi, WeiBian, Dawson, Leon, Paw, TC, Kiong SanHo and myself. The oestrogens were Garnet, Vanessa, TzeHui, Reena, LiNing, WenXin and YunLih. Yep that should be all. Oh we meet some seniors there also. Well its a long break afterall. And mind you, for us MMMC students, 2 days of holiday is considered long (Don't forget we have classes on Saturdays as well), 3days is very very rare and hence considered as unbelievably looooong!!

Chilling out~~

Back to the main story line, our last lecture ended at 4pm. Some of us went back to our respective hostels to prepare, while some went to buy some drinks, snacks and cake. Yes a cake. What's a celebration without a cake?? Benny, being his natural cheeky self, wrote "We Survived One Month In Manipal!!!" With THREE exclamation markS. Lolz. We met up at 5pm, and took autos down to Malpe Beach. The journey there was SYOK!! Imagine riding a running elephant. I knocked my head against the roof of the auto a few times T.T. The best part was this, imagine a small, narrow, close-to-90-degrees right turn, the auto literally drifted through it with another incoming auto on the other side @.@.. Garnet, who was sitting at the right most in the auto, got a shocked of her life.. LOL!!

Most of the guys

Upon arrival, we picked a spot under this really short but huge coconut tree and placed our stuff down there. After a short photo session, off to the water they went. Since I'm hydrophobic, I sat under the spot and helped them jaga their stuff, at the same time enjoying the breeze and clearing my mind. The past one week has been very hectic for me. Besides academics, there were a lot of other personal problems. Whoever told you Manipal is care-free has not experienced Manipal-life. Under the tree, I was talking to Garnet since both of us weren't in the mood to play. Thanks for listening to my rants. Oh btw, I take back what I said about JPA students, they aren't as arrogant as they look =).

Our "spot", with most of the girls

Those who were playing

This isn't me, but it was practically what I was doing the whole time.

Have I mentioned about the strong wind and drifting sand? The superficial layer of the sand was moving! It was quite a scene. Personally I enjoyed looking at the sand getting blown by the breeze. It was sort of an "art". I even video-ed it. Lolz. And the sunset was awesome. I enjoy looking at the sun, especially sunsets. Weird huh?

Sand drifting. Click to watch..

Sunset

After sunset, the place got alot darker, obviously. They changed into a dry set of clothes and off we went. Since the cake was still uncut, we decided to cut it over dinner. In other words, we brought the cake all the way to Malpe Beach for nothing. Haha. 40 minutes of iGallop, the cake was surprisingly still edible. Only the writings were gone. Dinner was in Manipal Canteen, PangHan大哥 joined us for dinner.

"他妈的! 我写的 'We Survived One Month In Manipal' 不见了! 还有那三个感叹号啊!!!" [Benny]

PangHan. He dared me to put his picture up, so.. TA~DA!! =P

It's Been A While..

NOTE: I realised it's been a while since I last updated a proper post. Hence this will be a long post with few events that happened in the past 3 weeks.

3 weeks ago, we had UTSAV, which is an inter-college competition. Nothing to do with me as I didn't participate, but I did attend to see my batchmates' performances. And boy the crowd was massive. Apparently it's one of the biggest event in Manipal.. @.@

Massive..

Some solo dance competition..

......................................


Last Tuesday
, we were conned asked to attend this formal dinner function in Valley View Hostel. Apparently some big shot of Malaysian Student Association (MSA) in India wants to give us a talk, and have dinner with us. When I say "us", I meant my batch of student, that is batch24. So by 7.30pm, we were there. Nicely sitted and waited.. waited.. waited.. Finally the besar tembak arrived, and gave his speech. OMG HE WAS TALKING ABOUT JPA ALL THE WAY!! "Tugas kami adalah menjaga kebajikan pelajar-pelajar Malaysia, terutamanya pelajar-pelajar JPA. Of coz private students are also included, tapi lebih kepada pelajar-pelajar JPA." At that instant, we, private students were like, WT* are we doing here then?? Our only consolation was free dinner, which was at 8.30pm. If I waited any longer I swear I would have gotten stomach ulcer. My last meal before that was just a Roti John at 9.30AM, some 11hours ago. zzZ.. Actually we could have started dinner at 8.10pm, but some JPA idiot asked stupid questions like "bil medikal kami, termasuk dalam bayaran JPA ar?" and "kalau pergi berjalan-jalan di india atau balik Malaysia, JPA bertanggungjawab ke?" OMG LA DO YOU EXPECT JPA TO PAY FOR YOUR GRANDMONTHER'S TONGKAT ALSO?!! zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ~~~ (No offence to my JPA friends, but put yourselves in our shoes, and see what will you think..)

From left: Edmond, DeZhi, Shawn, Me, Paw, SanHo (Blury picture, photographer noob..)

......................................


Last Saturday
, 7 new batchmates arrived. They will be learning everything we learnt in the past 1 month in just 1 week. Super intensive class wei. Anyway, in the afternoon, Arvend (batch24's class rep) and a few of us brought them around to buy stuff, at the same time help them register for bank accounts and Airtel sim card. We felt like seniors when we are actually their batchmates. Haha..

In the evening, at 6pm, I attended Bread Of Life Church's "Freshers' Welcome Service". However, I didn't stay till the end as there was another event that night.

At night, 7.30pm, we had the most racist event in the calander of MSA, that is Chinese's/Indian's/Malay's Orientation. I can imagine how messed up would the Indian's Orientation, they got to keep smiling all the time. Obviously I attended the Chinese Orientation, which was organised by the all chinese seniors of batch22. They prepared perfomance, dances, singing, short sketches, food, drinks and games for all cinapeks in MMMC. And I swear it was the brightest place in India. Overall, the orientation was a blast. I really enjoyed myself, especially the part where I poured 1 whole pail of water on Benny. LOLZ!!

Dance performance

See all the spot-lights? (No no.. not those street lamps there.. Lolz)

......................................


On the other hand, I've been really busy catching up with my lessons. There was once while we group studied in Benny's room, we felt hungry and ordered delivery. Benny did the calling. On the menu, it was written "Chicken Egg Cheese Burger". But when he ordered, "Give me one Chicken Cheese Egg Burger, put cheese 1st ok? Egg later." We were all like.. "what's your problem la Benny." Cute guy la, forever talking nonsense. Haha!!

Meet Benny. That's what you get when you talk too much rubbish. LOL!!


Lastly, before I go, this is dedicated to WeiHan, who wanted to see pictures of nice motorbikes here. I personally like the Bajaj Pulsar. But it's considered expensive, around RS40k so I'm considering to buy the cheapest bike, that is CBZ, around RS20k. (I'm still learning how to ride a bike..) It looks similar to a Pulsar, but of coz not as nice la. Lol. Oh ya, Yamaha R15 also very nice. Price lagi syok, >RS100k. LOL!!

Mysterious Thoughts

I actually typed a very long and wordy post of rants just now, but decided not to post it. Anyway, just to keep the suspense atmosphere, here are some phrases from that post. Try to link up a story yourselves k? LOL!!

1) The reality of a student's life is such that good academics = smart..

2) I know I have high expectations of myself, and most of the time those expectations are clearly not within my capabilities.

3) Why are you so academic minded? There is more to uni life than just the books and results. Just because of 1 insignificant class test you've...

4) Why can't things be simpler, just like how it was before, no academic barrier between us..

5) I rather have only one sincere true friend than a million friends who will stab my back and talk bad behind me all the time.

6) I'm in a lose-lose situation, either I talk to someone and be seen as lanci, or keep everything to myself and burst.

7) I need not explain myself. For those who don't know me, a million explanations wouldn't be enough; but for those who know me, no explanation is needed.

8) Ranting on a blog is like ranting to a dog. It listens but not understand, stays but not question, sympathises but not empathise..


And lastly, I ended with this paragraph..

"Why am I so concern over all this small issues in the first place. I really need to set my goals and priorities right. And I've told myself, I will not give a shit about what others think of me anymore. Hate me if you must, I don't give a shit."
