3 ways to know
Posted by: Jaimie on: November 4, 2009
3 ways to know you’re in a place where the system is so screwed :
1. The quota system is screwed.
Being in a so-called prestigious place to study medicine is not really something I’m so proud of. Heck, I’d rather tell people I’m from IMU. (I’ve always wanted to go IMU since Form 4.. but oh well ) Anyways, the quota system here is so screwed. They say they are fair and all but wth lah. This year only 7 STPMers out of 205 1st year medical students. U think leh? Anyways I never really gave it much thought until last week.
My batch was divided into 3 groups with the same number of people, alphabetically.
Group 1 : Students whose name starts from A – L
Group 2 : M-N
Group 3 : O-Z
Get the picture? If you don’t, you probably don’t stay in Malaysia long enough or never left home before. How many Chinese or Indian names can you come up with M or N?
Neo? Mah? Muniandy?
There are no Neos or Muniandys in my batch. Only 1 Mah. So you get the picture right?
So screwed.
2. The country itself is screwed.
I actually have to study snakes. Yep, no kidding, real snakes. But i definitely prefer snakes compared to the caterpillars, centipedes, ticks, mites, bees, mosquitoes and worms that they made us study. Seriously don’t find me if you kena snake bite. They all look the same to me.. HAHAHA
Anyways, in my notes, this is what I found :
Temple Pit Viper ( kapak tokong )
Mangrove Pit Viper ( kapak bakau )
You understand so far right? temple = tokong. mangrove = bakau.
Guess what is Malayan Pit Viper?
kapak bodoh.
Enough said.
3. They gave an English test that has nothing to do with English.
Yeah. I’m so gonna screw up this test because I took it for granted. They blank out words in a report and you’re supposed to fill in the blanks. For people like me who never read the textbook before, they’re like WTH??? #%^%&. And so I had no choice but to fill it in with common sense lah. Sounds correct good enough right?
Apparently not. Everyone discussed their answers outside the exam hall and I think I screwed up most of it. How can people memorize one dumb report out of the many many reports, letters, memo and emails in the textbook???????
Anyways I know it’s my fault. I don’t mind getting C for English. There’s a first time for everything right? Shucks. Just don’t make me retake the exam with the juniors next year. >.<
On the happier side, I had a surprise birthday party with the Betarians together with Liang Liang. On midnight of the day with the English exam summore. Feel so touched. Damn I cannot love them more. And a teddy from my ex-roomie.
I made them line up 
Will not be blogging until 18th Nov. Wish me luck for my finals!!!

In the middle of my ward round, received an MMS :
Wahahaha if u wan it bek then bring tuna sandwich to lecture later!!!
Guess who so ‘wu liao’ kidnapped my bear? It’s a key chain btw, which I hang on my bag. I didn’t even realised it went missing cos I didn’t bring my bag along for rounds.And I seriously don’t wanna imagine what the two things are beside my bear in the picture. Anyway, guess who?
Sigh. None other than Wee Sim.
Had to ask Chen Long to help steal back my bear from Wee Sim’s room. Guy’s hostel block ma. Or else I go take it back myself and kill Wee Sim along the way.
I guess there was somewhat of a World War 3 happened in his room. Because my bear came back like that :
Za dao!!
Poor bear now recuperating in my room. Can only bring you back home to Melaka in 2 weeks time to get you to Mummy so she can sew you up.
Part 2 : Revenge – Coming soon! hahahahaha
I’m bored :)

I’m coughing non-stop. And my throat is so sore. Not even the entire box of strepsils help. I want to sue them and get my money back.
Both my housemates went back to their hometowns already. And I’m left stuck here thanks to the ward round i have tomorrow. Dang dang dang. Why can’t you be another day? Feeling super bored right now. Mousehunt can only make you happy every 15 minutes. So what does one do for the other 14 minutes 59 seconds in between?
Browse facebook photos.
Lols. I don’t stalk okay. I’m just genuinely bored. I know I’m supposed to study for the upcoming finals but seriously no mood lah wey. I have to wait until there’s like a week before finals then I’ll be all super emo and crazy but at least I will study, real hard.
I still have a bunch of NUS people who added me when I initally got the offer to go there. I admit i felt jealous scrolling through the pictures. And my mind start thinking about the question that Renette asked me twice, “Did you regret your decision?”. I doubt she realised she asked me twice, haha. ( Renette, when you read this, poke yourself ) Honestly, anyone will surely say they regret. It’s uncontrollable. Grass is always greener on the other side right? And being here for more than a year already, I still feel… regret. Yep, no doubt.
I don’t think I’ll make a good doctor.
Heck, I’ve skipped nearly half the classes in my 2nd year.
It’s just boring. The lectures are boring. The stupid assignments are pointless. The English class I’m forced to attend, 3 or 6 hours a week. What the hell la wey. Even NUS exempt me from their english proficiency test. Everything here just bores me.
Sometimes I feel like I’m being surrounded by robots. I cannot be part of them. I am too lazy. I’ve lost my drive to study.
Everything here annoys me so much that I’ve resorted to going out nearly everyday just to get away from it all.
I need happy things. Polar bears
Polar bears just make me forget. Dang, I’d rather be studying polar bears up in Alaska.
Btw, my bear soft toy is named echothiopate. Wanna guess why? hahahaha
They’re BOTH POLAR. hahahahaha. Let me be lame here occasionally.
I’m so looking forward to going back tomorrow right after my rounds. Then Deepavali at Pravesh’s on Saturday. Can’t wait to meet everyone
Metrojaya warehouse sale on Monday
Ice skating on next Wednesday!
Must keep myself super busy or I’ll get funny random whinings like this blog post.

I admit that I worry too much sometimes. It can be something really tiny such as crafting my Mutated Venus Mouse Trap to something bigger such as exams. I know exams aren’t everything in life but at this moment, they are, unfortunately.
I’ve seen people going crazy during exam time (yes, me included) and say things that they don’t mean. Blame the stress wey. I have an upcoming Conass (continuous assessment) which gives only 5%. It’s seriously way too little compared to the amount of stuff we have to memorize. And for someone who’s been slacking for the past couple months, this is a nightmare. Mousehunt and Facebook definitely contribute a large proportion to my slacking off. Oh and the very often shopping and movie trips. But aren’t those what uni life is all about?
I just hope I won’t do so badly. Perhaps just bad enough to give me a wake-up call and enough pressure to start studying harder. At least a pass, please?
Oh and the part where I promised to control my emotions in the previous post? Been super emotional before the holidays and all it takes was just a week off to cool everything down. I’m doing well so far. Forgive and forget is the key Or more like if anyone hurt you in any way, just think of the nice moments and good parts that the hurtful parts doesn’t seem to hurt. Life feels better that way too.
I’m gonna come up with more interesting stuffs soon. Raya outing with Betarians. Complete BFF outing before Chiew and Bob leave. And I need to learn how to upload pictures!!! WordPress is more confusing but have definitely cooler features.
Xoxo, J.
p/s – might make this blog public soon

These small tiny things.

It’s been awhile since I really blogged. I guess it’s not because my life is that uninteresting, it’s more like i never really had the mood to type something out. The entire last month was spent on playing Facebook games and skipping classes. It’s been more than a month since I last came back home. Anyway, I have to admit that the games real addictive. As I’m typing this out, my Mousehunt game is running. Lol
This entire one week off has been nothing but pure pleasure to me. I clearly remembered sending an e-mail to my dad saying our family needs a trip to somewhere during my holidays. I had many plans in mind but little did I know, my younger brother had trials during my holidays. I was a little disappointed because I knew his exam was around the corner but I didn’t know it starts during my holidays until I reached home.
But the disappointment faded away almost immediately as my week at home is nothing uneventful. We had proper family dinners every night because big brother is having his holidays now too. The usual nonsense : Mum trying to make me eat more vegetables and me later sneakily giving the vegetables to my dad or brothers. My brothers having their long conversation at the dining table that drives my mum crazy because she wants to clear the dining table. My dad talking about what happened at work. Watching the TV together after that with my mum predicting the ending of the movie when it started only 10 minutes ago. My brothers laughing at every badly written script. My dad bringing me out every night to let me practice my driving and the occasional supper. I never knew how much I missed these small little things. These small tiny things that I took for granted for the many years in my life.
There was the much awaited hang-out with Huilin and Yien too. Can’t believe how much I missed talking to them. It’s incomplete without Alex but I still went home very much happy. The supper night with my MHS buddies at Pak Putra. All these small tiny things. I still remember those days when I see my beloved classmates everyday in school and I never really thought what would happen when we all go our separate ways. I kind of always took it for granted that I’ll always see them the next day in school.
All these small tiny things makes me regret for not appreciating those moments. If I knew how much I will miss those small tiny things, I probably wouldn’t have throw a tantrum, say something hurtful or do something that wasn’t very nice. I might probably try to make the best out of it. But that’s life right?
When life in university gets tough, I always think back on those carefree days and wonder how the hell did I get to this place? I think as one goes further in life, one starts to see all the bad things in people. I miss those primary school days where my definition of a good friend is one who shares her eraser with you or accompanies you to the toilet every time. (i think the 2nd part is solely for girls) Now, people who I once consider as friends start backstabbing and badmouthing that I start to feel so confused about life and what being friends is all about. I guess change is inevitable in some people. I am so glad that most of the people I treasure still remain very much loved.
For me, I’ll try to change for the better. Must control my emotions better. I must not get so affected by people trying to screw around with my feelings. I promise to try control my anger. One week at home and I’m already feeling so positive. So unlike me right? But I’ll try to occasionally remind myself to do the above.
For those people who’ve always been there for me, thanks. Tomorrow will be a new day.

Farewell makan at Jogoya!!
Posted by: Jaimie on: August 15, 2009
My polar bear family!! I have this really annoying thing that when I see a polar bear stuffed toy being displayed in the shop, I don’t have the heart to leave them there. So here’s my new family. One big bear will be given to Jennifer for her farewell (the one on the left). Imagine carrying two big and a medium size polar bears in the monorail on a weekday at peak hour (5.30pm) and then waiting for RapidKL at KL Sentral. The little bits that I can do to save the polar bears in North Pole. Now more monorail and RapidKL users are aware of the existence of polar bears and can help reduce global warming so that some polar bears up there can have some ice left to stand on. LOL
Oh ya, the makan at Jogoya!! We went for the supper buffet and since it’s the Merdeka month, they have a Buy 1 Free 1 promotion. The buffet started at 9.40pm and apparently there were 200 people lining up already. Luckily my buddy made a reservation, cos we (the other little buddies) only arrived at 10.45pm. Not enough time to eat LEH.
my biggest buddies
dessert first!!! LOL looks too tempting la
Japanese food :
unagi (eel) – their speciality
The part I love best : Haagen Daaz ice cream
Barbequed stuff :
Randomly post already lah :
What’s left :
My complete buddyline
Will be attending Jennifer’s convo in 2 hours
