Early in the morning, about 6am...ym was calling...sending her concern over my traineeship in India. Really, just waken up, then a warm call was indeed really brighten up my day! Thanks ym...
Then checking my blog...saw few comments from friends about my last post...well, sorry if i let u guys worried. And i really appreciate the comments u guys left by.
Then hy called, urging me to take the injection to prevent don't-know-what disease. Thanks to hers and the reminding of Ben for fulfilling the questions i brought. And, Aba, u know who u are, really thanks a lot! So, i went to bank, to doctorS (more than one doctor) to ensure what i can do is DONE.
I am BROKE. Well, this unexpected expenses really......WOW! Firstly, the 2 months blood supplement and some stomach pills (my stomach can be upset very easily...) cost me RM250! Then, the injection of Hepatitis A is RM120!
Alright, it's all essential..At least I feel much more released and at ease now.
Unexpected surprise: meeting an old high school friend in the bank and having a nice chat with the doctor graduated from India! The doctor is kinda cute...telling me the interesting places and things to do over there...He is blowing the dark clouds which have been coanvoluted around my head away! Full of anticipation after the little chatting..haha!
Another warming call from ls. Kinda surprise! Dear, why we were conversing in full Manglish? haha! anyway, that was not the main point. The thing is i really do appreciate you and dear goddess's concern about me. I feel I am so much loved (sorry if i make ur gooseflesh rising...)
Today, i am powered up by all the encouragements. Tomorrow, another challenge for me...as i am going to jb before departing to singapore. Alright, i must be well prepared and confident in telling all the relatives there that I AM READY!
again, thanks...u all dun know how much u have been giving me...tonnes and tonnes!

What do u think?
Everything upon the happening of something which i have decided, doubts would arise: am i doing the right thing?
Last year, the day before i depart to senai airport, I was worried. I could feel the uneasiness of my parents too, as they knew i am going to climb the Mount Kinabalu. As if there is something held me back, something telling me: do not do it, brake it, before everything is too late.
Yet there is always another sound revolving around me: Go for it! You gotta take the risk!
3 more days, i would be off to Kolkata. A place which i totally unfamiliar with, despite some picture searched from the web. This time, I would be there for almost 8 weeks, almost 2 months.
I have been trying to convince my mum in the past few days to ensure her i will be fine. Yet, almost everyone listen the news of my 'vacation' there, they were shocked and started to worry. So, again and again. I am busy in convincing everyone that I will be fine. I would take care of myself.
Well, now i only need the faith, and encouragement. I can understand, their worries were simply because they care about me. I do not blame them. But I am not that kind of strong person neither. My faith would swing.
Have you get some kinda injection done? Sorry, I do not.
Do you check what bank there apply some sorta bank debit card? Sorry, I do not.
How many of you are going?
Two.
WHAT?! only two girls going?
It must be very hot there.
Yes, normally the temperaure is about 45C.
WHAT?! Are u crazy? U will certainly get burnt!
What are u doing there?
Volunteering in HIV issue.
WHAT?! How dangerous it is! U sure u wont be infected by the virus?
How are u going to communicate there? U dun even know Hindi!
They can speak English well there.
U sure...?
How is the security there?
I heard they said there are better in Malaysia.
U sure? What if u are robbed there...?
Urgh....
Ok, if i am robbed there, i will beg beside the road. Dun worry i will not be alone, there are LOTS of accompanions!
Fine...lots of denying and pre-mindset i can hardly change...

Intellectual Food
Do you read?
Yes! Yes! I spent my whole day in reading..u know, until my eyes are sicked at any glance of the words...
Basically the students read a lot. Take a deeper look, what do we read? (books, text, notes...all related to exam). We read for exam! How many really enjoy reading BOOKS?
According to literacy statistics, out of 85% of Malaysians who read regularly, 77% of them prefer newspapers, 3% read magazines, 3% read books and 1.6% read comics.
How about the Americans? American citizens, 53% of them read fiction and 43% of them read non-fiction BOOKS.
To me, I feel reading is a habit. Parents are playing important role in nurturing the reading habit to their children, it is an obligation! This is how I really appreciate what my parents did during i was small. Dad was never stingy in buying books for me. The birthday presents of mine were always books - story books, and i remember there is one book from Dale Carnegie.
However, i have to admit since i grown up, more exposure to internet distance me part away from books. I do still love reading. But seldom really have the time in savouring it (is it an excuse?)
Anyway, from the statistics. It alarms me. I must not abandon the reading habit which my parents has nurtured in me...it was their efforts.
Come on friends, reading is fun. Let's spend more time in reading!

Tips of How to Stay Young
Recently paying more attention to health-related articles, thanks to my final year project.
In a casual net-surfing, came across with these tips:
Tips of how to stay young:
1. Laugh and fun, don't be gloomy
2. Let bygones be bygones. Dwelling on the past inflicts unnecessary stress
3. Early to bed, early to rise, it healthy and wise
4. Stay lean
5. Keep learning, reading and socializing
6. Keep working, doing something you like
7. Be the boss of your own life.
8. Too many pills ruin your body, take just what you need
9. Constantly alternating between weight gain and loss is bad
10. Exercise, quite smoking and eat less fatty foods
11. Do no worry about health and death, just get on with your life and enjoy it
To me, the number 1 and 11 are what i really WANT to practice! I want to laugh as cheerful as I can! Laugh my lungs out!
Don't worry, be happy!
Come on, let's laugh like a nut!

Faith
Does the physical appearance really can reflect who you are?
Many think I look strong, both physically and mentally. Yet I can only say, I AM NOT!
I always make my decision in haste. Upon the event which i decided, I would doubt myself. Am I doing the right thing? Am I capable of doing this and that? Do I cause so much troubles to others? What others might think of my decision?
I think too much. Much of this considerations put me in the dilemma which is miserable. I can make a conclusion: I lack of confidence. I don't have enough faith in doing everything.
I wish I could do much more better in the future.

Dilemma
It was as if a thunder and lighting bolted my day!
It was a saturday afternoon. I was still happily welcoming my dad's back.
Ring...Ring...
Picked up the phone. Went to get my medical report.
The result...
It shocked me!
Then, lots of worried poured over me...Please do not take risk with your life...blah blah blah...
I was in a dilemma. Shall i insist to go india still?

Thanks my dear coursemates
To me, i was always thinking i am so invisible in our course. Everyday, going to class, then coming back - doing my assignments, finishing them, passing them up, sitting exam...I never had really taken care of what really has happened around me, of my course, my coursemates.
But, pls, dun misunderstand! I am not saying i do not care about u guys, just I do not know all the gossips that hanging in the air all the way. So, always i am the one who to be lucky last one to know what has actually happened (usually my news would be one semester late or never get knew of it, don't be surprised!)
I do not really feel I belong to the course this well. See, I am not a good cook, not a talented foodies neither. So ending up I only pick up what interests me to study. Others, I don't really put much effort on it. Therefore, I have never felt such a belongingness in my course!
Yet, in the 23rd birthday of mine...unexpectedly, the whole day was just about my dear coursemates! They did make me touched! Actually, I am thinking, I am such a fortunate person, with so many lovely sweet coursemates! I should be satisfied!
Thanks, guys! I do always remember u all!
