Fish
Monday, January 9, 2012 @ 12:43 AM

Somehow the blogging mood is back. Don't really know why. Don't know how long this will last before I leave my blog to die and rot again. Hehe.

As most of you know, I don't really enjoy seafood. Yeah, call me weird but seriously I just don't really like seafood. No, I'm not allergic to it (not really, but crabs/big prawns/tiger prawns sometimes do make my face itchy). The reason is probably because I can't stand the taste of unfresh seafood. That weird disgusting smelly taste resting and sticking onto the tastebuds of your tongue. Ew.

However, fresh seafood do taste good and so in certain, rare circumstances, I do enjoy seafood. But most of the time, I don't. Because I dislike risking my poor taste buds into testing whether the seafood is fresh or not.

Which comes to the title. Fish.
Yes. Fish. Ikan.
I like fish. But only those boneless ones. Fillet actually. Or those big big fish fried in teowchew style. Other than those kind of fish, I hate fish. Yes, I'm a very picky eater. :O

So what does fish have to do with this blog post?

Last Thursday, I went down for dinner in my hostel's dewan makan (hall of food? LOL. Okie, canteen/cafeteria). And there it was. The notice from hell. The notice of obliteration. The notice of mass destruction. The rectangular A4 sized paper stuck to the door with black and white words.

Nervously, I crept to that piece of paper and read the contents.
Then, my heart stopped.

Attention students, due to the expiry of the contract with the chicken supply, the menu of the dewan makan has been changed. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Change to what?
Fish.
Yes, my fellow comrades. The menu has been changed to fish. Every single day for probably every meal.

Now do you understand why my heart stopped? This is a major disaster for a person who dislike seafood like me. Now I have barely anything to eat except rice and veggie, maggie or bread. Which kinda sucks.

So I really can't wait to go back to Penang next week. Penang, my food haven~
But do wish me luck in surviving the week with fish.

Teehee :)

Doubts
Thursday, January 5, 2012 @ 11:40 PM

I bet nobody reads this oh-so-dead blog of mine anymore but it's okie. I'm still using my blog as a medium to vent out my emo feelings that I don't know who to share with.

Recently, I lost every single ounce of my confidence. I don't really know why but I'm starting to have doubts in whether I will succeed in my medical course and become a fully-fledged doctor. I knew at the very beginning that the path to become a successful doctor is not easy.

Just that I never knew it would be this difficult.


Things in university is less complicated now. I should be happy but somehow I'm not. Homesick maybe? I haven't stepped onto Penang soil for months already. Haven't seen my old friends nor my family nor my dearest dog.

I'm starting to feel lifeless here. Probably due to the lack of social activities as finals are just around the corner. Will I be able to pass?

Everyday I wake up, go to lectures, nap, eat, study.
A neverending routine.
And yet, I'm not working hard enough.
Maybe that's why I have no confidence that I will pass my finals.

Since when have I become so weak?
I guess it's because there is no one here for me to talk to. The people I love are so far away. The people I thought I could trust have already left. And it's my own fault. But I know it's for the best.

I'm not proud of myself nor my actions recently.
Starting to feel kinda useless.
Just wanna give up and do something else.
I don't really know.

I hope this is just a rough patch that I'm going through. And that eventually, my motivation will arrive and drive the confidence out of me. I miss highschool life. I really do. When things were never this complicated or difficult.

Am I on the right path?
Am I doing the right thing?
I hope so.

I guess I should try to hold on and don't give in.
Jiayou me. :)

And Happy New Year.
2012 please be kind.

Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name...

My throat fucking hurts. Yes. It HURTS. LIKE. HELL. SERIOUSLY.

One thing I really don't like about KL besides the terrible traffic jam, is the terrible environment/weather change etc. The weather could be so sunny and hot in the morning and then BOOM! lightning thunder shockwave (okie no shockwave) heavy rain and strong wind blowing the hair off my head making me bald (okie no bald) in the afternoon. I guess I should get used to it since I'm gonna be in KL for 5 years.

The rapid changes of weather and unhealthy food in my hostel (unhealthy due to the lack of veggie, contains too much oily particles and the food is usually fried but definitely delicious - this applies to the chicken only not fish. cause I hate fish.) finally caused my body immune system to fail me.

Yes everybody, I'M SICK (noooooooooooooooo D:)

Well I've semi-recovered for now. The fever is finally gone. I don't heat up anymore. The only problem I am facing now is my uber excruciatingly painful sorethroat which seriously hurts like crap when I swallow anything including saliva. The coughing is annoying as well. I practically overdosed myself with that Cap Ibu dan Anak Nin Jiom Peh Pah Koa (that thick sweet minty black liquid) just to cool down my throat.

On a side note, I'll be back in Penang on the 21st of October. :)

I hope I get well soon. Thanks to those who cared and showed concern. Really touched! Love you guys :)

Hi. I guess most of my friends know that I'm currently doing medicine in the University of Malaya. For those who don't know, well now you do. :P

I finally found some time to update my very dead blog. I'm actually multitasking now. Revising Physiology, blogging and listening to some music. Yes. Julia Liew is actually REVISING months before an exam. OMG right? I hope I can maintain this habit. Cause my seniors/lecturers/roommates have been stressing that I should study continuously and not do the last minute - slack first suffer later thing. Haha.

So how's my life in KL and UM?

I guess it's okay for now. Sometimes I feel abit lonely and left out but I sort of expected this already. Since I entered UM, I have been speaking tons of Mandarin to almost everybody and an itsy bit of English to certain people. My schedule is kinda packed. Don't really have the time to slack as much compared to college/secondary school.

I've been in KL for about a month already. I went to Midvalley like 6 times. Kinda sick of it already. Outing at another venue sometimes? :P

I am actually kinda hungry now. Sacrificed my dinner because sleep is more important. LOL. Started having strange dreams again. It's kinda interesting actually though I hate it when I dream about someone dying. Gah. However, I'm going to see a lot of deaths in future when I become a doctor.

I miss Penang food though. And my dog. LOL.
Certain food in KL is awesome. It's just that food in my hostel especially the veggie and the fish does not blend in with my tastebuds on my tongue. So everytime I see fish on the menu, I tend to skip the meal. I know I shouldn't complain because I heard food from other hostel is much much worse. :0

This post is kinda bland and boring but oh well. I can't fully concentrate on blogging when I'm multitasking can I?

Will upload some pictures next time :P

-Back to revising Physiology-

Fear
Friday, August 19, 2011 @ 6:57 PM

My awesome collegemates from Malacca, Ipoh and Sg. Petani came to Penang today. It was great catching up and seeing you guys again. I realised that in 2 weeks time, all of us will be going to different universities and taking up different courses in order to persue our dreams and career. This kinda makes me sad but I hope we will still be able to keep in touch my dear brothers and sisters.

Will I be able to find awesome friends like you guys in university?

















I love you guys. I seriously do. Thanks for the lovely memories! :)


And of course, not forgetting another bunch of awesome friends whom influenced me in becoming who I am today.








You're all awesome.


And I pray hard to be able to meet lots of other great people when I move to KL. I don't want to be the lonely girl that sits in the corner.

But if I do become the lonely girl that sits in the corner, Leosteh bring me go watch movie kay. :P



You're an amazing person too :)

Obesed.
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 @ 10:35 PM

Yeah~! *God pose* (nvm just ignore me HAHAHAHA)

It is already the end of June and I didn't update anything. I guess the laziness has returned and infected my sleeping brain. LOL. But never fear!!! Because I'm updating my blog now! :D

So for the month of June, I actually spent two amazing weeks in KL. My five-day trip somehow morphed into two weeks because my highschool buddies invited me for a Genting Highlands trip. Since KL is nearer to Genting, I was too lazy to go back Penang and travel all the way to Genting the very next week.

I enjoyed the trip tremendously. However, I have very bad news. Very very extremely bad news.

After the trip...
I became...

FAT


My stomach became soooooo big. I look like I'm pregnant. I couldn't button one of my favourite pants. Yes, I'm serious. I probably gained like 5-6 kgs during the whole trip. Sigh. So how did I gain so much weight???

This is because a certain cute small boy kept feeding me and feeding me with fatty fatty food especially in the middle of the night. LOL.

Example :


JUST LOOK AT ALL THE FATTY CHEESE OMG. (it's spaghetti filled with sausages, ham and BACON) OMG FAT DIE.



and more bacon strips....



Pita bread with ham, sausages and yes... BACON again. D:



Other nonsense I ate in restaurants...



dumpling~



dessert~ sweet macaroons



more dessert....



No word say...


And those weren't the only things I ate. I ate lots of other nonsense like pan mee, ice cream, rice, western food, potato chips, chocolate, sweets, gum...

In Penang, I normally eat like 2 meals per day. In KL I ate 5 freakin fatty meals per day. Gosh. That's how I managed to gain so much weight in such a short amount of time. Therefore, now I'm on a very strict diet to remove all these fats in order to be able to wear that pants again!!!!! So, I became part time vegetarian. Hehe.

And as for pictures of me in KL, no I'm not going to post my fatty face in my blog. Maybe I'll post in a locked album on Facebook... Oh well :P




Hi. LOL. the only picture where you can't see my fatness :P
