2 guys and a gurl at 6 highfield

out of winter hibernation!

2007-03-21T21:23:00.000Z

it seems like this blog has been abandoned by its creators...
aizad is boycotting from any further contributions for fear it will permanently transformed into his personal blog...
kamal was indulging himself in his pursuit of stardom (msian nite, talenttime) and it seems likely that his current state of `talent-showcase-withdrawal-syndrome' might persist for a little while longer...
and as for moi...i totally blame it on the cold, cold winter rendering moi as active as a hibernating bear:D

okies, lame excuses aside, we ALL know that we are just plain lazy:P hehe, but then again it's not as if life stood still for us at 6 highfield since the last time aizad blogged...far from it! here's a lil recap of what we have been up to...

weekend of 17th feb...
melvin's sister, Michelle came all the way from Bellerby's college, Brighton ( hehe, byn, ur associate alma mater) to spend her mid-term break in Notts... knowing that Notts have not much to offer (I don't think Nottingham Castle nor Robin Hood is that appealing to a 17 year old), aizad and i took her to Birmingham for a lil trip and also to sample the great Salini's hospitality!! yup, cadbury world was on the itenerary...as u can see, too much chocolate is not that good on our social functioning,hehe

weekend of 23rd feb...
moi decided to team up with 37 greenfield street (aka munyan, chin nyap & huei min) to have a lil chinese new year makan-makan ala dunkirk to match the previous hari raya and deepavali dos graciously hosted by kelab mic and umno dunkirk...( sigh, wish the mca club dunkirk could be a lil bigger, burnt quite a hole in our pocket to finance the meal between the 4 of us! and it didn't help either that all 4 of us had completely non-overlapping bunch of friends!) nevertheless, it was very successful and definately worth the hole burnt looking at the happy faces and tummies of our well fed friends:D

weekend of 3rd mac...
moi went to london to pay my family friends a visit and also to collect my only ang pau for the year *hehe, blush, blush*
the boys on the other hand, had to fend for themselves over the weekend:D...

weekend of 10th mac..
the living legend's performance of the year!encore! encore! kamal the jebat yang hebat! the malaysian nite this year was certainly gempak in terms of star power and tech effects...certainly made up for the lack of food during dinner (apparently) and also the very disturbingly sarcastic emcees...can you believe that these people actually dissed the dinner as their opening speech of the show? how bizarre...

weekend 17th mac...
supposed to write a post this weekend, but then the router crashed leaving aizad and I internetless and very restless over the weekend...thank goodness aizad's proactive enough to seek the extra router from keat and to get the system working soon enough! yay! the alternative back up plan was to wait for kamal to bring back a new router from malaysia in 3 weeks time since we were adamant not to get a british router because we were all flat broke...so yeah, 3 cheers for keat for the loan of the router! yip yip hoorayyy!
a couple of days ago, the television broke as well...sigh, talk about things falling apart at 6 highfield...nehoos, order has been restored with the purchase of kevin's old tv for 30 quid ( hehe, quite a timely bargain from good ol' mun yan!)

hehe so there it is, the synopsis of the happenings at 6 highfield to make up for the extended silence...hopefully with spring, there will be more updates springing up soon, kan,housemates, kan?:D
really, it's scary how time is passing by us soooo quickly, and soon before we know it, in less than a year's time, we will no longer be inhabitants of 6 highfield....

Brief Updates!

2007-02-13T19:08:00.000Z

As this blog hasn't been updated in ages (I'm totally blaming the lazy hausmets! =P), I'm just dropping a post as proof that we're still alive & breathing (albeit very verrryyy slowly).

First off, the artist;
1) has just finished his geriatrics attachment & is now back on psych
2) has starred in 'gamelan', a traditional malay/indonesian musical as part of nusantara production. As expected, he fashionably mesmerized the audience with his 'detached' look throughout the show (note to kudo: u missed the sizzlin' performance, buddy!)
3) has finally opted to grace notts msian nite '07 with his talents, after endless begging and nagging from the committee & friends (note to artist: eleeeehhhhhhhh ckp je taknak)
4) still has a messy room (so, what else is new?)(haha)

And the chef;
1) has also just finished her geriatrics attachment & is now back to meeting unique ppl on the wards
2) is so far pleasantly fulfilling her role well, as the cook, housemaid, and slavedriver
3) should not be left alone to do house groceries, as that will result in severely debilitating bills (still feel the pain... oh byn)
4) has made yet another new year's resolution of trying not to be blur (again, what else is new?)(mueheheh)

Not forgetting, the ubi;
1) is still doing his paeds in chavland
2) has completed final fantasy xii (& seeking guilt-free time for xenosaga epIII)
3) has been struck with back pain for about a mth, but now almost fully recovered, thanks to meds by sangee, ponstan by jerereee, diclofenac by the gp, and exercises by a brawny east European physio (hmm...)
4) still looks like an aubergine (or an eggplant, apparently)

Also, we've recently signed our house contract for 07/08, so guess the name of this blog won't change for awhile!

On a lazy Sunday afternoon...
Me: La la la la (perving on friendster)
Kamal: La la la la (singing on his guitar)
Dum! dum! dum! *footsteps coming down the stairs*
Seowie: (faraway muffled cute-with-an-agenda voice) Guyyyyssss! Jom basuh toiletttttt~!
Me & Kamal: ................ *peluh*

("crap.")

Till then, mueskueskues...

Jerereee's Sunday Evening Dinners!

2006-11-06T18:24:00.000Z

Yep, don't ask us when and how it began, but a wonderful new routine has just been added to our mundane lives. Title says it all, I'm sure, but for those who don't know yet, it's our weekly Sunday dinners by Azreena aka Jerereee! Arguably one of the best cooks in Nottingham, most of us would agree that we salivate profusely whenever we think of her (culinary skills).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we're not grateful to have the Chef in the house. Thing is, she's doing her Obs&Gynae attachment at the moment (which is hardcore) in someplace called Mansfield (a faraway land), and so she comes back late (bout 7-8pm) almost every single day, leaving me (Si Terung) mostly in charge of preparing dinner (an ominous sign). Hence, the desire for good food (or 'happy food' as Chef puts it).

Back to what I was saying, Jerereee then saved us by whipping up Carbonara (w spaghetti), tortilla wraps (w unidentified meaty chunks inside), and baked potatoes w tuna and cheese and god-knows-whatever-else she throws in that makes them sooo tasty.

"Hurray, hurray, to our tummayyyy~"

Oh yeah, that brings me to another reason why she's simply too good - she doesn't even know what she chucks into the pots sometimes! (musykil2...)

Me, Seowie & Kamal: Ooooh sedapnye, what did you put in to make this taste sooo good?!
Azreena: Entahlah, I letak je, and then I rase.
Me, Seowie & Kamal: But surely you must have a recipe?
Azreena: Entahlah, I letak je, and then I rase.
Me, Seowie & Kamal: ......... (musykil)

...leading to our Artist's theory that Jerereee sain kontrek ngan jin (ala2 David Copperfield... it's the only explanation), much to her chagrin and vehement objections (defensive tuh, mesti betul).

And another thing, she claims that cooking gives her joy (apart from giving people haircuts), very much to our pleasant surprise. Well, eating gives the rest of us joy. She insists that it's a win-win situation, but to us we feel more like parasites stumbling upon the unreachable back of an obese man w plenty of blood to suck from. The guilt fades away quickly though.

Anyway, that aside, great food is still great food, so me have no complaints. As a wiseman once said, good food is one of the keys to happiness, so indeed we were truly happy stuffing ourselves to death. Sal and Seow were a bit 'hyper' than usual, but I suspect Seow was overdosing on concentrated caffeine tablets, and has been feeding Sal in secret. Or perhaps they were just being themselves. =P

Seowie, Jerereee & jembalang random

Thanksssss so much Jerereee for the amazing dinner! (and definitely looking forward to next wk!) Till then, mueskues *burp* kues...

Seowie: (singing off-tune) Seowie Foosh~... Tak Berhingus~... Kamal Azriii, Kau Berambus~... Yeah Yeah Yeahhhh~...

Me & Kamal: ......... (pondering on one of the great mysteries of life that is Seowie)

Seowie's Bday Scare

2006-10-28T13:08:00.000Z

The effort my housemates put into my birthday surprise deserves an entire blog due to its ingenuity...Byn would be damn proud of the boys when he hears about this!
As I mentioned before, the gang threw me a birthday surprise during the Raya celebration, it was the usual Dunkirk birthday surprise recipe... the cake, the people, the cameramens, hehe but i guess I was too blur to provide the non-surprised-birthday-gurl-can see it coming from a mile-element:D

Thus I wasn't expecting anything on 25th Oct other than a few friends whom I called over to have a small takeaway dinner with...which is as much as I thought I can muster the spirit for, since I sorely lacked of sleep due to the oncall duty I had the night before...

Anyhoos, when the doorbell rang, I went down to open the door, thinking that it was Li Ping...it was strange that Aizad did not open the door but then I thought he was on the phone with his family back home, which was what he told me when he left Kamal and I halfway through chilling in my room...

Just as I was about to open the door, the whole house went pitch black, the only lights i can see was the scary blue tinge light from kamal's computer...before suddenly a freaky ghoulish laugh came on loudly! I tried to open the door and it refused to budge, and with the floor being damp, images of dark waters flashed into my mind...seriously, it freaked me out to the point that i cried...I was screaming hysterically and desperately yanking at the door handle when finally aizad's door open and everyone yelled surprise!!

....

I was too shaken to even blow the candles on my birthday cake! The first instinct was to punch both Kamal and Aizad ( which I did with all my energy's worth, hehe...though I felt a tad guilty after I saw the very very nice white leather chair they got me * blush, blush*)
damn...how embarassing is it for everyone to hear me being hysterically scared... though to be fair, Rekha, Amanda and Rainee agreed that they will be freaked out too if in the same situation...

We had somwang after that and the usual chilling and pics session...

( finaaaally calmed down to take pics with my bros...check out the cool card they made me!)

all in all, it was a good birthday celebration...now, sitting on my new very, very comfy plush leather chair...

i felt really touched that my housemates went through the trouble to make my birthday memorable...( though they must have enjoyed freaking me out just as much?;P) thanks so much guys for all the effort: for carrying the heavy chair all the way from beeston, assembling it in silence,for timing the sequence of events,for the effort to scare the shit out of me, for somwang, for clearing up...

and who said that guys can't make the effort for friends?
me <3 me bros!

thanks so much to everyone else on that day who made me feel that being 23 is not that bad after all:)
*hugssss*

DeepaRaya weekend

2006-10-28T11:18:00.001Z

It certainly has been a while since any updates have been done to this page...i guess being medic students with overloaded work plus the happening-ness of dunkirksville certainly is not a good combo for blog mantainence! :D hehe excuses excuses!

nehoos, the last week went pass like a whirlwind, firstly there was great food during the deepavali celebration held by the MICs...the effort they put into the food was certainly appreciated, judging by the numbers of helpings people made! hehe the gurls at 21 Greenfield Street put in much effort too to join in the deepavali spirit! convinced Imaan and I into dressing up, great fun ...though we were late ;0)

(Naz-the-hot-stuff and his harem during deepavali celeb...hehehe)

Then on Sunday, had raya celeb at 21 Greenfield...that was great fun too with fab food,great company...the festive atmosphere was comparable to the ones at home...with lagu raya and all, hehe guess the only thing missing was the duit raya that I can get from visitings! Though, technically,imaan should be able to give out duit raya now that she's married, no?
Prior to the night, spent the whole day baking with imaan while the boys were making their ever so famour nasi himpit...

( the kitchen gang....)

(family potrait: 2 bros and a sis)

The gang threw me an early birthday surprise on Sunday as well...hence the unexpected story in the next blog....

Bleached!

2006-10-01T22:57:00.000Z

Hallo hallo, we're back (kinda) after a 3-wk hiatus from this blog. Reasons? Mostly laziness, lack of effort, and the too too happening* lives we're leading that we couldn't find time to blog!

*happening defined as doing housework, surfing the net, cooking & washing dishes, but not socialising.

But what has that got to do with the title of this entry? (yes, ppl, we've finally figured out that we could put entry titles) As you lot must have figured, it's not the japanese anime, or the washing detergent, but our hair! Jeng jeng jeng! After much persuasion from the chef who underwent the bleaching treatment, the young men of the house proudly put on the bin bag around their necks and got their hair treated as well. Of course, as long as it's not Ganesya messing around with your hair, nothing could go horribly wrong. Plus, of all people in Dunkirksville, we got the Hairdresser in the house! (mamareena la, who else)

From L to R: the model cum artist, the ho lenglui, and Jason Ng Chew Seong (from Sepet)

Of course, the photo would've been complete if our buddy dedos was there. After about a year in Notts and living in 3 separate houses in that time (yeah we all know which house he liked most muahaha), he's finally gone back home. We will surely miss this wonderful buddy of ours; his charm, narcissism, rempit-ness, and all the like (cue: awww...)

"Ohh, ded, why did you have to go~?"

But as a wiseman once said, all good things come and go, what to do. Till next week (hopefully if we don't slack off), we're signing off with a tinge of sadness in our hearts and a tinge of brownness in our hair (.........). Mueskueskues...

2006-09-10T17:39:00.000Z

Yet again, another happening weekend in dunkirksville...it's Sara's birthday today and we went out for a hearty meal yesterday at Saffron...19 medics and a Ded, i m sure Byn will fully empathise with him...
that's how fast the community in Notts is shrinking, as the years go by one by one our dear non-medic friends graduated into the working world, leaving us medics with nothing but fond memories....*sobz*
hehehe, sorry for the spurt of oestrogen there:D

anyhoos, speaking of Ded....

how will we not miss such a cool dude who showed me again and again and again that we can actually have fun testing our vocal range using a guitar tuner?
he was demonstrating to me since yesterday night on the various ways to hit a F note by manupulating his vocal chord, hehe how I wish I recorded his voice, it was hilarious! notice the contentment in his face, how I wish I can be as easily entertained:D

ded u cool aaaaa......

2006-09-10T16:06:00.000Z

Boys will be boys?! Ish ish thought our chef would be wiser than taking a swipe at the male population, especially when she IS currently living with two of them... (mal, gi babab die)

Well, guess I do have to agree with some of her points, but then again, not all males would cauterize themselves when they bleed. Putting aside the macho-ness issue, the idea itself is quite ridiculous.

To further illustrate my point, imagine me and Kamal in the toilet together.

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

No, people, not that image. Ish ish.

Anyway, let's say I was shaving and Kamal was cleaning the sink.

Me & Kamal: La la la la la....
Me: *razor cuts skin* Aduhhh... berdarah bibirku.
Kamal: You okay, dude?
Me: Aduuhhh... banyak sungguh darah di bibirku. Mal, tolong panaskan stove.
Kamal: Ohh ko nak buat ape?
Me: Nak cauterize bibir.
Kamal: ................

See my point? Not only will I confuse people with such a bizarre request, I definitely won't be able to stop the bleeding for the next 10 minutes while waiting for the stove to heat up! Wonder why people invented plasters.

And the 'thong shot' game, I must say it's quite interesting (try it out at www.addictinggames.com/thongshot.html). Men are horny creatures after all, but you've still got to admire the ingenuity in attracting people to the game.

Okay, compare these two, and see which one you're more likely to play.

The old, obsolete version...

The banging hot new game! Aye aye aye...

And of course, it will appeal more to the males. I mean, the thought of Seowie shooting coins/bottlecaps from another woman's thong is pretty disturbing... (hmm...)

On another issue altogether, I just want to say that she still makes the best claypot rice in Dunkirk, as certain past events may suggest the contrary. Of course, provided it's not three days old, and you don't exert yourself on dance dance revolution (p/s: 'standard' difficulty) straight away after eating it, you should reach a decent level of satiety without any problems.

Ahhh.. I feel good now, after unleashing my 'creative juices' onto this blog, with my 'pent up' ideas almost begging to be let loose after two weeks of suppression, thanks to my dear housemaid who paved the way for that to happen.

Boy, do I need to be more careful with what I say (Girls, I tell you... :P)

Till then, mueskueskues....

2006-09-08T22:49:00.000Z

another weekend is here! it's so scary how time flies nowadays...has it been 2 weeks already since the last post written here? i was pms-ing last weekend and had PLS course to work for, kamal was in london with nurlin while aizad... was just eager not to appear too eager in contributing to the blog...hehe he claimed that since the last post was written by him, it's not right for him to write, AGAIN consecutively...so he have to hold back his creative juices till kamal or I post something up...hehe so here it is dear housemate,finally moi blogs humbly just for you to channel out ur pent up writing ideas:D

had a long day today attending the Peadiatrics Life Support Course (PLS), really glad that it's all over now! hehe during the humdrum course i was entertained by an amusing story, which made me realise that this poster hanging in kiran's living room is not far from the truth.

My friend Chris sported an ugly gnash on his face and from far, he looked like a horny old man having a bad nose bleed. It doesn't help the image either that he is a big bald, ex-army guy. hehe, sorry i am stereotyping. Well,to be fair that wasn't that far from the truth. The amusing story was that he nicked himself when he was shaving and in the midst of panic to stop the bleeding, he was struck with a brilliant idea. To cauterize himself. Click here for the definition of cautery. This guy actually burnt his own face with a freaking hot metal spoon!! I can never figure out how he could even think that was a good idea in the first place. That a hot spoon stuffed up your nose can actually stop the bleeding. Theoretically it can be done. But it's certainly one of those things that grown-ups warn us never to try at home. Unbelievable.

I guess boys will be boys.

On another note, guess what this boy is doing yesterday night. Analyse his intense concentration. Could he actually be studying on a Friday night?

On closer inspection, he's playing this game.

hehe added this last picture after considering the legal advice from aizad, to prove that i m not lying just to frame kamal:D

I salute the ingenuity of boys. How they are capable of distorting such a simple innocent game. There I go again. I am stereotyping again, assuming the creator of the game is a man. But then again, I am sure that only boys can find the pleasure of flinging coins from a lady's thong.Rite?

2006-08-29T02:06:00.000Z

The end of a long weekend is unfortunately here. Like a happy pill (as Seowie put it), it gets digested in the tummy, but eventually will have to come out through the back door, to put it bluntly. And when you've got to get up for early morning tutorials the next day, it becomes more like a nasty diarrhoea complete with flatulence.

But on to better things about the weekend! Three good friends of mine crashed at my place, and they literally did crash the room, turning it upside down with somwangs, coke cans, ciggies, and toenails (I happen to have a nailclipper) all over the place. Not to mention that two of them just came back from a 15-day backpacking trip around Europe, and so kindly providing us with the perfume of life. We haven't seen each other in awhile and they are flying off home soon, so despite all that, you could still feel the love in the air...

Yes, people, there's absolutely nothing wrong with males loving each other in a completely non-sexual manner.

And our chef has struck again! She whipped up a small feast (chicken in green curry, steamed eggs, and some delicious veggie) (with assistance from her humble helpers, of course) for two friends of ours who live nearby. For some reason, we took out our PS2 dancemats and started dancing after dinner. And in typical Dunkirk style, things became competitive after a few songs, and we stopped after everyone kind of agreed that there's no point in losing the ability to walk to hospital the next day (leg cramps was a cardinal sign). It was definitely good exercise, though.

The machas battling it out very calmly... (before things got serious)

Also, our artist has begun teaching Seowie how to play Guitar Hero. You could tell that she was addicted to it, from the huge transformation in her eyes (haha sorry Seowie...). Give it a few weeks, and she'll be headbanging around the house. All part of our masterplan to turn her into one of the boys, hohohohoho...

But then again, to think that me and Kamal hardly ever touch Pro-Evo these days, plus the neat living room, you've got to wonder whether she's the one converting us... (.........)

Ahh, reminiscing happy days of Pro-Evo with Keat and Byn...

Yes, that is pretty much our bank holiday weekend. Hope they've got more lined up for us (yeah I wish). Till then, mueskueskues....

2006-08-26T21:56:00.000Z

it's the bank holiday weekend at 6 highfield!
it's amazing how the prospect of having a 3 days weekend can do to your mental health. Instant happy pill:D

I had a girlie friend sleeping over yesterday night. It's nice to have the extra oestrogen around the house. And even more interesting to see the effect of the extra oestrogen on the boys,hehe. Whenever my girlies are around, the boys are very well behaved. Firstly, they willingly give up the coveted comfy sofa seats. I also noticed how readily they hand us the remote control and passively watch the girlie shows of our choice. And how they actually volunteer to wash my friends' plates AND mine as well after a meal:D Not to mention how reflexively fast they scuttle towards the sink to hand me their plates when i am washing up for my friends, hmph. hehe, trivial observations they may be for now...but with deeper insights into them, they may prove to be a very, very powerful survival tool for a gurl to have around here, muahahaha

anyhoos, thanks to the prospect of the long weekend, i was able to give my novel my fullest attention and finished reading it. heh, all 900 pages of it:D Aizad accomplished something wonderful as well, he finished his role-play ps2 game, yayy! hehe, more chance to watch weekend tv with my breakfast...for now:D kamal achieved an even nobler task..he cleaned up his room and ALSO vacuumed the living room!

ahhhhhh the undeniable positive energy that can be derived from a long weekend....ommmmm

hehe, but i guess the positive energy sort of sizzled out by evening, when all 3 of us were BORED but too lazy to do something about it:D
well, hopefully, we will be able to entertain ourselves better tomorrow...

ommmmmmmmmmmmm :D

2006-08-24T18:08:00.000Z

[Warning: this is an invasion of privacy, the living room and the entire area confined by the walls and fences of 6 Highfield as a whole]

I am trully mad, disappointed and saddened by the fact that this blog came into existence without me being the first few people to know about it. I am after all, the ex-housemate, who, as I quote Aizad "was always there for us during difficult times and...". And my contributions to the house among others include putting out fire in the kitchen in a jiffy, sweep the kitchen clean of left over food (including the ones in the fridge, pots, wok, etc), burn PS2 games for the boys, ensure that the PS2 is in good working condition by doing regular 'test drives' using PES, switch off lights at night, provide internet and music in the living room and keep both housemates awake by entering their rooms on an hourly basis.

And if those are still not enough, I also claim 1/3 of the credit for the foundation of our infamous Vicious Cycle, a technique often used to avoid participation in regular parties around Nottingham, particularly those that demands a significant amount of tik toks and kachings. Yeap, that should entitle me to write at least this post at this blog.

I'm not gonna bore you with my story, of how I am now in Malaysia and about to pursue my engineering career with a more than average starting salary at a company once known as Standard Oil then SO then ESSO then EXXON now EXXONMOBIL commencing September. Or even telling you how I've spent my last two weeks of doing nuthing, except eating very-much-missed Malaysian food like pulut kuning, nasi ayam, nasi dagang, nasi minyak, sate, ketupat, telur penyu, cendol, abc, air tebu, lemang, Mc D, Pizza Hut, cempedak, tembikai, durian, duku, pulasan, rojak, laksa, taufu fa, etc.

I just want one short post to say that despite all of that, I wish I'm still at 6 Highfield, in either one of my rooms, with all of my ex-housemates =)

bYn
the ex-housemate

2006-08-24T13:29:00.000Z

here it is, my first contribution to the house blog. man, can my housemates write! seriously what a girl got to do to stand out from these talented martians...i don't think i am capable of writing entertaining farn-ney-har-har posts but i guess i can provide the triple PMSs -pre- present- and post- menstrual ramblings here just to keep the hormonal imbalance in check:D

i had a day off today but u know the saying that the more u plan, the more u won't stick by it?
i had great ambitions for the day off i took today...made solemn promises to myself that i will justify the time off i took; either by catching up on my endless mundane self-housekeeping chores or just to catch up on the pile of reading work waiting for me to start...but in actual fact if my conscience would let me, i could even use a split toenail to try convince myself not to wake up 7 in the morning to travel an hour away in the name of education...

anyhoos, i did neither, instead i immersed myself into the new book i got from Amazon, for only $0.01 and $2.70 if plus delivery (hehe i m such a sucker for cheap deals)...it's called Doctors by Erich Seagal, it's sooo good that i fell asleep reading it yesterday and stayed in bed till 2 in the afternoon today with it * blush blush*

ahh it has been a while since i have indulged myself in such luxury and it feels damn good...the book's like reading the Gray's Anatomy ( i meant the tv series, not the textbook,duh)except that in your head Mc.Dreamy can look like Mc Dreamy plus Mc. Steamy plus Brad Pitt all roll into one...

okies, i guess that's all i have to write for my first rambling on this blog, wana get back to my book:D i am one of those kind who will have to put her life into halt-mode just to finish a good book...it's bad i know, but habits die hard...and housemates, i m SURE u guys will understand why we might have to have instant noodles for dinner tonight,hehe

wish it could be more substantial but then i feel that i am under pressure from my housemates to put something up so that we can officially launch the house blog now that all 3 of us has a contributory post of some sort:D

yayy...hip hip hooray!!!

aizad and kamal: ...

2006-08-23T23:17:00.000Z

Welcome, welcome to our humble virtual abode where we're supposedly going to rant, ramble, complain, and basically try to make our boring lives more interesting.

Before we move on, let us pay tribute to our ex-housemate who's moved on to a better world...

...back home in Kemaman, Ganu Kito. He was a great comrade, always there for us during difficult times and good food, more of the latter obviously. May he reach great heights in his engineering career and other things in life.

The new entry to the house? Enter the housemaid, chef, cleaner, and slavedriver!

Smart, efficient, and always on top of things, she amazingly transformed our disgustingly repulsive male-friendly toilet into a 3-star WC, complete with mats. Needless to say, she immediately assumed her role as the head chef in the kitchen, cooking us health non-carcinogenic food every other day. Like all good things, it doesn't come without a price, so our AF-class artist became her obedient assistant while endlessly washing dishes became my routine.

And there's the artist, who sings, writes and plays songs on his guitar. And when he's not, he's either a) studying, b) watching youtube.com, c) chatting on msn, or d) all of the above. An internet maestro, he's also admired for having one of the most cluttered rooms in Nottinghamshire. (hahaha sori mal..)

Ahhh, yes, the artist looking out for snooping paparazzis...

And not forgetting me, me, me. Known as nasubi, I again wash dishes everyday, and take out the trash every weekend. I love to sleep and sleep. People have desperately been trying to teach me how to draw lines but I'm still blur at it.

Me on a good day...

Yes, yes, that quite sums up our household at the moment. As I'm falling asleep, I'll sign off for now, with the hope that me or my housemates will update this blog with more interesting things in the future. Till then, mueskueskues...

Me: okay, okay, stay cool, whatever you do, don't pour water over-
Seowie: shit shit shit! *turns off stove*
Kamal: amik fire blanket cepat-
Seowie: shit shit shit! there's still fire under the blanket!
Me: ..... tuh fire extinguisher tuh!

Just when you start to get the confidence back, someone takes it back from you. Yeah that's my life story. It has happened to me so many times before, i can't even keep track anymore. It started out as a very nice day actually, i went to community clinic, my second visit to be precise, and i had a wonderful time there. This was mainly because i had a great Spr in clinic with me teaching me lots of stuff also. Since 3 of her patients DNAed, we had nearly 1 and half hours to kill.

She suggested that i present to her some cases that i might have encountered during my tenure in Paediatrics, and she really liked my style. It was good fun and just coming from a successful "survival mission" during OSLER teaching the day before with the infamous Dr. Perigi, i was gaining confidence tremendously.

" I could get used to this...maybe I'm starting to find my groove..."

Came back home from clinic, had lunch, slept for a bit. Then i went back to QMC for my oncall session, brimming with motivation and energy.

"Here I go..." I said.

Went there, clerked a patient, a surgical patient. Let me remind you that i'm doing a medical oncall session. Then the SHO showed up, form his facial expression and his mannerisms, i kinda suspected that something was going to go wrong. We went into an examination room and i started presenting to him. Half way thru, he snatched my notes away from me.......( shriek@!#&) Dejavu?

"Noooooooo!!!!!...No God, not agaiiiin" I screamed in horror but no one could here me.

" We, surgeons are very simple people....U shuld go straight to the point, and u shuld be able to remember things without reading the notes," He said.

"Its all coming back to me...Its all coming baaackk," I sang in my heard to the tune of celine dion's famous ballad.

Why did it happen again to me again? Is is just the surgeons? Do they have a different way of doing things? Hahahaha...

Well, I admit, I'm just being whiny(coz of it happening to me twice in a short span) but I do appreciate his comments and he did gave positive remarks bout my history. what doesn't kill you will make you stronger right? Learn from your mistakes kan? kan? I hope so. Why am i contradicting myself, half of my post sound like im pissed of with the guy for snatching my notes away halfway thru my presentation and now, total opposite. Im not making sense, Argh, its 12 am maybe that's why.

In a nutshell kids. It's all part of life. Sometimes its nice to hear good things bout you. But sometimes its better to just take in criticism and learn from...Amin... Pandaaaii Kamal, dah besaarrr pemikiran dierrr...alhamdulillah...Maka dengan itu saya akhiri post saya...Asalamualaikum....
