Another weekend

I have officially finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 3 (I know I'm outdated..). I was inpatient for the sequel, so I surfed through YouTube looking for previews for Season 4. Some of the excerpts from the next season were there. Thank God for technology.

I spent the rest of my day today surfing the net..As usual, I would surf through friendster, taking a peep into other people's lives by going through their photos..Sigh. Everybody seems to be either engaged or married.

My MRCPCH result is due next week, and hence i braved myself to check the official website today. Turns out the exam result page has been updated...I anxiously clicked on the result section..and Nothing. No PDF file came out. Probably they have not completed the update for the page.

Fiuuhhhh.... As much as I wanted to know my result, I just can't take another failure. Even though it's too late to pray for my results now, I really wish that I pass the exam this time around.

Gosh. I've got another long day in Banting tomorrow.

Valentine's Day


Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.


At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.


The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.


You mean the world to someone.


Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.



To the people who I love and the ones out there who have been there when I needed you the most, provided the shoulder for me to cry on and guiding me through obstacles in life..


And also to the ones that has always been there for me, and yet I have failed to realise that you have a wonderful part in my life...


I wish you..

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

From Nokia to LG to Nokia again


I miss my old phone. Have been using it since I lost my Nokia 3120 at the O&G ward in 2006. It took me a while to get used to the software, but love the phone for its touch screen function, sleek design and shocking colour. Even though it lacked the MMS function and memory card, the phone had served me well.

And again, I lost my phone in the O&G ward. This time not at HTAR, but at Banting Hospital. Searched for it high and low for 2 days, but could not find it. Most likely I misplaced it (I have a tendency of leaving things here and there), or someone took it while I left my lab coat somewhere. Oh well, I took the unfortunate bad event positively and grabbed the opputunity to get a new phone instead.


I bought a Nokia 6500 slide yesterday. Before purchasing it, I have put much thought into the new phone that I planned to buy. I wanted a slide phone, elegant design, good camera and it had to be less than RM1500. A friend of mine, Pravin recommended me this phone and I fell in love with it the instant I saw it.

So far, I've no regrets with this phone. I just love its appearance and user-friendly software. The camera takes good shots too. I would recommend this phone to anybody.

Question of the day

Have you ever felt like quiting your job and just stay at home for the rest of your life instead?


I have been posing this question to myself lately, especially for past 6 months.


Funny when I had no regrets as a houseman, and yet there were many times when I ask myself why in the world I chose medicine as my career-as I embark into another phase of life-which is working as a medical officer.


I have had many experiences, the horrible ones which has formed scars in my heart. After the sometime, it will reach a point where I will just breakdown as cry as it is so unbearable.


It is just so sad when you have wake up every morning, dreading to go to work. And as the day go by, you just can't wait for the clock to strike 5pm, so that you can pick up your bag and go home. How long will life remain this way?


What keeps me going everyday? The few things that make me smile is when a patiet remembers me even if our encounter was a year back and when a sincere thank you is given when the patient's pain and suffering has been relieved by the word of advice given. How often do we doctors get that? Very rarely.


I asked the question that I have posted at the initial part of this entry to my other half yesterday. What he said was that it is a waste of expertise if I quit now. I have to at least obtain my area of specialisation and start off my own business. If I don't feel like working, at least I could get someone else to work for me. Another thing that he said was that no matter what we work as, we can never run away from problems. We just have to learn to deal with it. I guess there is some truth in his advice.


I have no idea how long I could go on feeling like this. I pray everyday and I am able to perform well in my work,to do more good than harm and always make the right decisions. Do pray for me too.

Marie Digby-My latest obsession


Marie Digby performing at Star 98.7 Lounge 4 Life concert - The Wiltern, Los Angeles


People who have known me long enough would know that I was never a fan of any singers in particular. I'm flexible enough to listen to any type of music, regardless of its genre or singer.
Marie Digby is somewhat different. I first came across her music while I was driving back from work one day. Heard her version of 'Umbrella' and thought it was amazing. Furthermore, my cousins and I performed the song for the 'Ketani Nite' and that was when I started doing some research about her.
Turns out that she is a 24 year old, Irish-Japanese-American, who was made famous after posting her music videos on YouTube. She sang the cover of many songs, in which most of them sounded better that the original song. Apart from that, she composed many songs of her own, which is just as good, or even better that the songs we hear over the radio.
I find her being such a great musician. Not only because she plays by ear, but the way she strums the guitar and hit the notes on the piano really makes you wish that you want be just as talented as her.
Check out her music videos on YouTube:
1. Umbrella- The song that made her famous
2. Stupid for you- I just love the song and the setting of the video. Check out her cute laugh too!
3. You give me something- Another favourite of mine
4. Spell- This song was featured in SmallVille.
Sometimes I wonder, what is the X-Factor that she has which makes people go crazy over her? Apart from her gorgeous looks, I think it's the innocence that is potrayed in all her music videos. A personality which is non-existent in our entertainers nowadays.
