Survey.

Ever since survey started.. I've been repeatedly saying this to the people I've approached.

"Hi. I'm a final year pharmacy student from IMU and this is my final year research project. We're actually conducting a survey to find out what is your perception on chinese medicine. So can I please take a little bit of your time and get you to fill in this questionnaire for me? Thankew. Thankew so much."

To those that refuse to even stop and listen to me. I would smile politely and say thankew. But I'd be cursing under my breath. =.=

And to those who hesitate. LOL. I would bug them while they hesitate to stop and listen or to just walk away from me. I'll go "Only 5 minutes of your time. Only 5 minutes." and in the end they would USUALLY give in and fill in the questionnaire for me. Hehehe.

I sound desperate?

YEAH. I AM DESPERATE. =.=

to the extent that the team mates and I have been called STALKERS. XD

But heeyyy. I appreciate every single one of my respondent.

and I appreciate everyone that is willing to go the extra mile for my team mates and I in helping us in this survey. Thank you. =)

p/s: Tomorrow is another day. Fingers crossed I get the numbers I want. And DOCTORS.. pllllleeeaaasssseeeeeee be kind to me and fill in my questionnaire for me.. PLLLLEEEAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEE... I'm desperately in need of doctors. =(

You said: Life's not been fair to me.

I said: You've never been fair to me.

Period.

*Morning blues.*

Lil Things. =)

And I was surprised at what appeared on my wall. Happily surprised. =)

Lots of people call me a bookworm or a nerd cause of my love to read.

Haha. Sadly only the love for reading fictions and nothing that is factual.

Somehow. Words give me room to imagine and to feel.

I always prefer reading a book to watching a movie. It's just different. Haha. I know a lot of people just cannot understand that.

Call me freaky.. but words always have a big impact on me and yes.. I'm sensitive to words.

So what have I been reading lately.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks and Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult.

The Last Song is another typical Sparks' novel but owh well. I'm wan ling and wan ling loves stories like this. XD Not really my favourite one from Sparks. There're others that moved me more. This one's just ok. Anyway, the movie is coming out in July. I would really love to see if the rendition of the movie fits what is described in the book and if Miley carried the character of Ronnie well enough. And to see if the passion and love that were so nicely described by words can be found in the movie. Still reading Change of Heart and i'm finding it very interesting. 'Would you agree for the heart of your husband's and child's murderer to be transplanted into your only child left?' hmm. What say you?

Haha. Random. I haven't started working on the post that David wants me to. On the way la har, on the way. XD

30 days.

I'm home. =) not home in Penang but in Vista.

It has been 30 days in Taiwan. Not too long. Not too short either.

It's just nice. As I'm starting to miss the things and people I care for in Malaysia.. It's time to come home. And it was long enough for us to bond with our fellow seniors in Taiwan. This will be a pleasant memory. I'm sure. =)

30 days. There's so much to blog about. But I just don't know where to start.

The others have been constantly keeping a diary throughout this 30 days.

But me being me only managed to keep it for like a week plus. =.=

30 days. It made me realize a lot of things. About the people around me. About a different culture. About how to deal with things. And most of all.. about myself. Changed my perspective towards quite a lot of things and people I guess. Made me understand myself more too. I'm not what I think I am.. Sometimes.

30 days. We didn't manage to cover the whole Taiwan, mostly cause we're working in the hospital for the first 3 weeks. But it was also that 3 weeks that got us bonded to our fellow seniors. Playing badminton with them. Having dinner together. Having them bring us around Hualien. Talking to them and understanding their culture and having them understand ours. And being pampered by them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, dear seniors.

30 days. It showed me that my family is still the one that I will turn to. Mum sent me emails everyday. And when I have internet connection I chat everyday on MSN with her and dad. And there're friends whom I miss dearly, whom I felt like sharing everything with. You know who you are. Hugs. =)

Hahaha. Realized that I didn't mention about Taiwan at all. XD

Maybe next time. =)

Post EOS.

Phew. Sem 6 EOS. I thought that's like one of my worst EOS in IMU.

Was it just me or what? =.=

baahh.. Now that it's over and nothing can be done.. except to wait and to hope for the best..

I'll just chill while I can.. =)

To think back.. this whole study break and EOS has been kind of hell-ish for me..

Partially cause of the stress and cause of the emotional turmoil that I was in.

Talk about bad timing. But owh well. Shit always happens at the wrong time. You have no choice but to face it. Sigh.

But I'm glad that there are always friends. The awesome people to help me through it all.

The library study gang. The lame people. hahaha. Thankew for answering my queries and also for the company to study together. Quoting a few lame people..

Brinjal: 这个不用背的啦..懂一点懂一点就好了..

Wei Ping: Whatcha say. What do you want from me. Diam laahhh.

David, everyday at dinner time: Wanling.. Don't use plastic bags.. You imagine if one day everybody take one.. after study break.. * owwhhkkaaaayyy dave. I've quit using plastic bags. *

KeanPing- The hamster who always have seizure attacks. Thankew for the Arsenal story. XD

Joni. Mc. KayX. Thankew for being there to listen to me rant and complain. Hugs.

Lx and Cs. Thankew for the texts. =)

Smugface. Thankew for the specially delivered green tea frap 2 nights prior to EOS. =)

Yuxuan. Thankew for calling all the way from HongKong just to wish me luck for my exam and hear me rant about how bad I did. gosh. I think. I whine a lot when I talk to you. =.=

and..

You. I know you won't be reading this.. but still.. There's so much I wanna say.. but I'll just put it in simple words here. Thankew for being there for me when I needed someone. I do hope you'll be ok soon. =)

So. That aside.. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.

Uhm.. I'm currently in Penang stuffing myself with good food that I have been deprived of during the 3 weeks of study break and exam. XD

I'm enjoying the company of my family to the max especially mum who is now more like a friend and a listener to me. =) and did i mention how cute it is to see dad get so excited and happy just because I'm home. XD

I'm currently reading 'The Last Lecture' by Randy Pausch. Hopefully I'll be inspired some way or other. Hahaha.

I'm also doing a teeny bit of googling to find out more about taiwan. =) I'll be flying off in like a few days. Wow. doesn't seem real. x)

I'm also trying to get over certain things and get out of a mess that i sort of self invited myself into. So.. yeah. Bear with my emoness. Haha. I'm trying to stay strong with a smile on my face. =)

That's pretty much all this time around. Will update more when I am back from Taiwan or maybe when I'm in Taiwan. If time permits. =) Till then. Happy hols peeps and good luck for those having exams. =)
