Sem 9 group gathering in Pizza Hut
Gzz...medical school is so short of the XY species now...This is the first group lunch outing in sem 9 and it coincide with Evana's birthday. It was Sashi's idea to go to pizza hut and viola, everyone agreed. Was surprise that everyone turned up except Wei Cheng. Yes, this is my group in sem 9, till now, the most notorious for the highest fail rate, we champed in both pediatrics and internal medicine! *don't know whether should be proud of this or not...*
This will be our last week as a group as our study break will start at next week. Another 3 weeks will be our finals *gulp* and if we are lucky, we'll be off to Batu Pahat. Wish everyone good luck here, hope we all get through without a sweat!
p/s: will be off blogging for the next couple of weeks in preparation of the upcoming finals!
oh yeah, happy birthday Evana!
Egoistic.Self-Centered.Vulnerable
My life was too smooth for the past 23 years...
I was an obedient student. I had been awarded as the model student when I was in my primary school and was selected as the head of the school prefect for almost 6 years since primary 6. For every clubs and societies, I would make sure there's a position for me. (I felt like, i was ruling the WORLD!!). When I started working, i realized that all the awards were USELESS!! They only make me feel superior,egoistic, self-centered, proud...I am self-conceited!
I always make sure that i'll not get scolded for whatever i have done, but win me a compliment.
Well, I had been punished twice when I was in my secondary school. Ya, I CRIED! I scolded the class monitor(the culprit) in the class and i was telling everyone that I would not forget her for the rest of my life! Well, the class monitor was frightened. She wrote a letter and asked someone to read it out in the class the next day. I didn't really listen to the nonsense until a sentence "I apologized for what i've done. Sulin, Evelyn..I'm sorry.." (I feel like..i'm a QUEEN)
hmm....
Fine, I forgive you.(What the...)
I'm spoilt since the incident. I became "vulnerable ". I cried at the overhead bridge behind IMU and scared Dan off. I cried on whatever I don't like to hear, whenever and wherever.
I realized my bad since I started working last month. I can't even accept any single critics and humiliation. I locked myself in the room, weeping, after my parents pointing out my bad.
I should be a bit rebellious and that will give me a better personality by now. I should have faced up my bad but not denying. It isn't too late. I will learn to live a better and meaningful life, not only in the world with compliments, but also critics. I will learn to accept constructive criticism. I believe, I'll be stronger and maturer one day!

Yeah, I finished my second half marathon!
3 months since my first attempt for half marathon in Penang bridge, i braved myself for the second run in Seremban! Yes, i completed it in roughly 2 hours and 20 min, a 10 min ahead of my first half marathon! Since kaizo already posted on his blog, i'll leech the photos from his blog.
Muaks!~ i just love my medal so much...haha
The organizer is very good considering that the joining fee is a mere RM10. Refreshment and sponging station is roughly 6km apart. Since this run is not only on a bridge, you actually feel that you had run a great deal! The route is scenic and definitely not as monotonous as Penang bridge!
There was 6 of us this time and it was definitely fun. Actually thought of not stoping to walk for the whole run but in the end still broke down and started to walk at the last 5km - a sign from God that i'm not ready for a full fledge marathon as yet...
. Anyway, good experience, would definitely join more runs in the future!
Goodbye Linda!
Linda came a long way from New Zealand to Bintulu with her husband, Ronny. Shell sent the couple here to experience the life in Bintulu for two weeks.
She was left alone at the Parkcity Everly Hotel in the day time when her husband was out for work. Since my company is in the walking distance from the hotel, she noticed the banner for manicure when she was strolling alone at the Parkcity area. There, we met Linda who is energetic although she is now in her fifties.
Annie,(my sister-in-law) was doing nail treatment for Linda
Lindsey, the instructor of the gym room, who has accompanied Linda in the morning for the past two weeks. That's why both of them cried over and over when the couple came over before they go to airport.Well, I was busy dealing with documentation every morning when Linda came over for exercises and manicure. Linda must have spent a lot when she was alone. Thus, I drove her to bank for withdrawal. (Actually, she came here with master cardS and visa cardS. Who knows, all the cards turn out to be useless in a small town like Bintulu).
The "busy body" also wanted to have a snapshot with Linda.Linda, we did have a great time with you and we wish that you will be always in the pink of health.
Yipikayee Motherfucker!
When a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States (and the world), it's up to a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective John McClane, to take down the conspiracy, aided by a young hacker.

Muahaha.....Kaizo wanna compete with me who can finish watching Transformer and Die Hard, he lose real bad, I watched it at 11:00am today! Although i must admit, i watched it with mania, but i make this perfectly clear, i'm not a fucking gay! gays don't watch die hard, they watch brokeback mountain! Gosh, TGV JJ Seremban is really earning their pants off, even at 10:30am there was already a long line of people. Surprisingly, all of them are coming for transformers and a Tamil movie, boss something. Nobody is watching die hard, wtf, they are really missing out!
This movie really kick ass! you might think that the action is not the same anymore after Bruce Willis suffered 12 years of aging and finally lost every single shaft of his hair, but hey, you are so fucking wrong, the action is comparable if not better than the previous films! The action is so tightly packed that it's hard to breath! best of all, they do this the old school way, with minimal cg effects! The best scene i like is in the tunnel where it was just a Armageddon, car crushing and flying all over the place, it's a scene to behold! Bruce Willis take on Maggie Q is also another classic. He didn't show any mercy with the little gal and just whack the shit out off her the rough way (he was also whacked like shit, but that doesn't matter). These sent some testosterone surging into my brain and i admit, it get kinda high to see that, muahahaha....before all the females wanna pull me apart, hey, Maggie Q is the bad guy! bad guy suppose to be whacked!
My only grip in the movie is the boss die too easily. Like previous movies, the boss is well versed, well dressed and is a smart ass hole. The only difference this time is this boss is not tough enough to take on John McClane, even his girl friend (Maggie Q) did a better job than he does! Also, Justin Long (the mac guy in apple ads) is using windows in this movie, unforgivable! wtf? Apple should sack that guy and make me the new mac guy!
Final conclusion? I like this movie way better than Transformers! so this is my best blockbuster movie for this Summer (till now...who knows Harry Porter might replace it? very unlikely, but still...possible...)!
Can obese physician help people live a healthier life?
Apparently not. Shit. Looks like another reason to hit the gym for some of us
Patients treated by obese physicians don’t always properly follow their doctor’s advice concerning losing weight. Obesity advice given by overweight physicians does not carry the same effect with patients as similar advice given by fit physicians, according to Jo Marie Reilly of White Memorial Hospital in California.
Patients go to physicians for professional advice, however they also look to physicians as role models. From this standpoint, it is difficult for overweight physicians to give credible medical advice regarding weight loss if they don’t seem to take care of their own weight problems and health.
Obese physicians are less likely to diagnose obesity and provide obesity counseling for their patients according to a study of physicians' health habits and counseling practices. These doctors do not necessarily classify themselves as obese, said Brian W McCrindle in “Do as I say, not as I do. The new epidemic of childhood obesity”.
Physicians who are not overweight can deal with their patients more aggressively and avoid coexistences with other diseases or conditions. An obese physician may sometimes be in denial regarding his own obesity, and so she may overlook obesity in her own patients.
If the hospital staff do not live themselves healthier lifestyles patients get the message that being overweight is a healthy lifestyle, according to Reilly. That is because sometimes patients may see the medical personnel as role models. Hospital staff should be encouraged to live healthier lifestyles, and should also include healthy foods in their vending machines or lunch rooms, said Reilly.
Physicians who are not self-aware of their obesity and do not challenge themselves to make healthy lifestyle changes are losing the battle against obesity, said Reilly.Original Article here
Transformers totally rocks!
A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war was being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasted off in search of it. He eventually tracked it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sent him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forced him into a paralyzed state. His body was later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, and before going into a comatose state Megatron used the last of his energy to engrave a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain's glasses, and send a transmission to Cybertron. He is then carted away by the Captain's ship. A century later, Sam Witwicky, nicknamed Spike by his friends, buys his first car. To his shock, he discovers it to be Bumblebee, an Autobot in disguise who is to protect Spike, as he bears the Captain's glasses and the map carved on them. But Bumblebee is not the only Transformer to have arrived on Earth - in the desert of Qatar, the Decepticons Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base, causing the Pentagon to send their special Sector Seven agents to capture all "specimens of this alien race," and Spike and his girlfriend Mikaela find themselves in the middle of a grand battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, stretching from Hoover Dam all the way to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, within the depths of the Pentagon, the cryogenically stored form of Megatron awakens...Sourced from IMDB
Watched it last Friday with a couple of friends and can easily concluded this is one of the best movie this year thus far. The story is a bit lame and the noble intention of the Autobots is a bit hard to be real but who cares, it's adapted from a cartoon in the 80s after all (no offense to the die hard Transformer fans). So how to make this more palatable to the people in the new century? Director Michael Bay made a total remake of the robots (especially megatron, he look so bad ass now as compare to his original cartoon model), a tweak into the storyline and add in a sexy Megan Fox, viola! You got another big hit box office! This movie thrills from the minute it started until the minute you left your seat!
The robots seemed so real and there was nothing to complain, i can see them transforming whole day and still said 'COOL' at the end of the day!
The actions are very fast paced and perhaps, too fast paced that sometimes i don't even know who whacked who. All the robots look the same in the heat of the battle, they looked like a pile of metals and the two most outstanding one are only Optimus Prime and Megatron, mainly because of their size.
Was not having a high expectation when i entered the cinema, but wow, it did blew me away! Spider man 3 seemed to be a total failure after you watch this. Just make sure u bring enough tissue when u see Megan Fox check out the engine of Bumblebee.
Megan Fox is the hottest babe, stand aside Megatron!
Bintulu Tg Batu Beach
It has been a long time since i last came to the beach. However, nothing change much at the beach, only the food stalls were rebuilt and renovated.
Food StallsBintulu Tg Batu Beach is the nearest beach where Bintulu residents like to go on weekends.. (but it is a bit dirty) Although Similajau Beach (or known as Golden Beach) is much more beautiful, but it is quite far from the town. Moreover, the facilities provided at the beach are not as complete as Tg Batu Beach.
It is still the best place for couples to go.. (Look at their faces and you will know how happy are they).. Besides, it is a good place for picnicking. I used to come with Pat and Esma every semester break. But now, both of them are having their final year practical.
My Sister in law and I.Many joggers (like Dan) like to jog at the beach as there are plenty sexy girls in hot pants.
The entrance of the jungle
The entrance of the jungleBesides, there's a jungle opened for jungle trekking. There are three routes: short, medium and long. I went for medium route before but ended up crying in the middle of the jungle (haha..).
Penguin's fur was burnt!
Before Penguin was burnt, her fur was natural and pretty..
but then, after sitting in the hair saloon for almost 6 hours...
when she is in the iglooWhen she went for sun bath..(haha..)
Hmm..not bad though..I'm now more confident with the new hair style..at least, i don't look sleepy anymore..
