Killing Time

At some point in your life, when it's already too late, you just feel like running away from all the hassles to take a short breath of fresh air and rejuvenate, recharge yourself.
And that's why I'm home. Am so not looking forward to driving to Temerloh tomorrow...
Sigh. Again I wonder - what have I gotten myself into?
Something is so totally wrong here.

You Are Courier New

You have a deep appreciation for tradition and history. You don't eschew modernity, but you do have a deep reverence for the past. You are very literate. It's likely you enjoy writing and reading. Some people may feel you're a bit cold, but you just have high standards for who you hang out with.

What Font Are You?

You Are a Caramel Latte

You often are feeling indulgent - and you go ahead and indulge yourself. You are very creative. And you know you need to stimulate your senses to get your creative juices flowing. You are a truly optimistic person. You see the best in yourself and in everyone else. Your life can be a bit messy at times, but the most beautiful things come out of your chaos.

What Flavor Latte Are You?

You Are Tea

You are mellow and reflective. You don't allow yourself to feel in a rush and frenzied. You're likely to appreciated the ideas or connections that come up over a warm cup of tea. While you do enjoy the energy of a caffeine boost, you love that it allows you to take a break. You're not in a rush to do anything. You're content with your life, and in no rush to change it.

Are You Coffee or Tea?

You Communicate Passionately

You speak from the heart. You can't separate your feelings from what you're saying, even in a professional context. You tend to speak dramatically, with lots of passion and emotion. It's easy for you to get swept up in what you're saying. You like to connect with people early on so that you can personalize what you are saying to them. When you converse, you try to find common ground and harmony. Even if you disagree with someone, you try to emphasize where you agree.

What Kind of Communicator Are You?

Thus Far (...not to be mistaken for "Homesick")

"The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive" ~ John Sladek

Yes, I am done with my previous O&G posting, and presently in another - Paediatrics.
I like O&G. I do, albeit sort of a different kind of 'like' as compared to Internal Medicine. Sure, some of the nurses gave a whole new meaning to "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn'd", but still...some human beings are not worth all the fuss.

What about paeds?

A precaution for those who have problems with reading my rants and complaints - You know what ensues next in this entry, so run for cover or, more simply, go visit some other webpage.

Well, I rather have a problem with the too much travelling part. For those who may like a little more useless info to add to your knowledge on geography, the distance between Kuantan & Temerloh is a around 130km. In terms of time, with an average speed of 120km/hr (...ignore the fact that the speed limit is 110km/hr while you're at it), I took around 1 hour 40 minutes - traffic can be a nuisance! - and in terms of cost, around RM23.50.
Don't get me wrong - I like travelling. I like driving. I just don't like the tiredness that comes later.
And staying in a house is not too bad - if you can tolerate a bit of messiness here and there, a not-so-reliable water supply in a particular lathrine, and a kitchen sink that is outside, for the whole world to witness your prowess at washing dishes!!
I don't even care about the television set - only two channels that provide the least strain to one's eyes...because I'd rather be attending to my laptop and my story book.
And why on Earth do we students have punch cards??
...I'll end my complaints here.

What I do appreciate is the hearty breakfast at the hospital, and the not-so-hectic ambience.

But I do miss my old roommates.
I do miss the Internet connection, however lousy it is.
...I want to go home.

Yesterday I was just saying to a classmate about how dull it is to be staying here, away from home. He suggested doing several things, one of them shopping. To which I replied, "I would, if money wasn't an issue".
Sometimes the urge to buy something stems out from a false sense of power of procuring something new, to claim it as your own, to add to your own collection of a myriad of odds and ends. Dangerously though, it can also result in the notorious feeling of superciliousness.
I don't think I have any problem labelled as "impulse buying". If anything, it's the indecisiveness of "To buy, or not to buy".

One problem of not buying early enough is "It may not be around anymore after this, so I must get it now!". Another is "The price might be higher the next time around! That's why it has to be now!". A real-life example of this latter dilemma: A pentorch that cost RM10 previously, just over 6 months ago, is now RM13.
The "Say No to Shopping!" logic only has these to say:
"You already owned one!"
"Save money! Don't you know there's an economy crisis going on as we speak?"
"...Temptation is evil. Enough said."
"You don't need to get that."
"Dude, you seriously don't need that. I'm tellin' you for real."

What brought this on? Oh, just the dilemma of categorising "Camera" as a necessity or a luxury (which has a high probability of being misused).

Some things can wait - like a new PDA, a new phone, or a new mp3 player. This doesn't stop me from keeping my eyes glued on the 'candidates' though.
...Is the motivation of "I'll buy them myself, with the money that I earn myself!" be enough to set me into studious mode?

Materialism is evil, my friend. So is laziness. Which is the lesser of the two evils?
...I admit defeat. Where's my white flag?

awakening

Like a splash of cold water straight to the face, drenching me wet, and goosebumps all over.
But I handled it quite well, if I could say so myself. A proof of maturity, perhaps?
Perhaps I should have more faith in my instincts. And in my fellow friends.
With it, I've gathered more strength to face the unknown, and the obscure.
For now, I can only offer my heartiest gratitude.

On the side note, I've finished downloading all 13 episodes of Amatsuki. Already done with five episodes, and let's just say the show earned my approval.
