Schoolloging

Wow...it's 7pm and I'm still in school. Can't go home because it is raining and sick of reading up already. So I've decided to blog. School is really getting on all of us (I assume alot). There's alot of things to do and very little time. Now I really wished I lived in Pluto. 1 year = many many more days than just 365 puny earth days. Hmm...still raining.. .what shall I do? Okay Dnd is on Saturday and I'm suppose to be wearing a red indian dress...hmm....maybe I should just paint myself red and walk off. Hey I'm red and I'm indian. Haha!

No I shall not do that. Me shall just go get a costume and me shall wear it okay? Okay. That sounds indian, but not red enough haha.... Oh man.... I've finally started driving, and it was fun. Really fun. As in I was so relaxed while steering that even my instructor was surprised. All that Datona practice in the past together with need for speed came true. It was truly like driving in a computer. Ya it's auto and its easy but it was fun and all worth it. I'm going to get a car......but not so soon. Maybe if i carjack....hmm... who has a nice looking car? Watch out ...cos..hehe....

Life

What do I want to do with my life now? Hmm..... I guess this will be a good time for a reflection. Start of year 2 means start of another year of my medical journey and another year down towards graduation. How do I want this year to be? I guess this is the year for me to take opportunities. I felt that in year one I did not push myself or take things that came my way. I was very reluctant and held myself back. Why? Because of the expectations. I did not know what to expect. Why? Because I had no proper guidance into my med school transition. I was mostly on my own with sim and my councillor. If not for them, i guess I would not have found my footing to start on.

However year 2 is definitely going to be different. I know it. I started it right anyway with medicamp and organising it. I got to know alot about the medical fraternity from the year 1s to the year 5s. It was definitely an eye opener. getting to know where I was heading and setting the waypoints. Of course there is the academic area to worry about. Oh well, studying is just part of the medical course anyway. So much so that we have stopped calling our books books and started giving them names.. "papa robbins, mama robbins, baby robbins, katzung, snell, baby moore big moore."haha..and there are alot more in that list and alot more to come I guess.

So, books, friends, foe and family...heere comes Shariff

Rationality

Why do people not think and act rationally? Why do we let our feelings get the better of us and skew our perspectives in life? Today, a good friend of mine left a suicide note. Fortunately we found her in time before anything untowardly happened. Same situation happened not long ago with another friend of mine. Haha, I don't think I'm the link as they are two independent events. Life is so precious. Our mothers endeavored nine monts (and 7 days or more) to give birth to our lives, and many more years to nurture us. We decide to end it in an instant, without stopping to think about the more important things in life.

Are bfs and gfs so important? Someone we met incidentally becomes more important than our parents, siblings and friends. Someone who is not related to us becomes the decider of our fate. I have not loved or been loved by that someone but I will respect my parents and my sister's will more than anyone else in the world. Why so? Because I recognize the amount of sweat, blood and tears they've shed to bring me up in this world, and giving me every opportunity to excel. They're happiness is my happiness. And so on for all the other emotions. Well that is the very essence of me!
