Un-kodak moment

You ever came across an absolute embarrasing moment resulting in an utter silence like 'malaikat lalu'? These two happened today:

Awkward moment 1
A female waitress slipped and nearly fell while serving drinks to a family with 4 young kids ranging from 2 to 15 years old. She yelped out loudly 'B**** mako' - loud enuf to be heard by everyone in the restaurant. RATING: 5 seconds of silence.

"Hey buddy, that's just a car-key... Hang on i wonder if it has tuna flavour on it - curious... curious"

Awkward moment 2
I was about to leave a surau when a blind man asked if I'd seen his water bottle. I saw one next to a wall and while walking to get it, I accidently asked him for a confirmation"yang hijau ni ke pakcik?".
I felt like 'can someone please get me a rope'.

Dang!

This ain't a love song


Where does this road would lead me to?

I have made a decision on this part of my life which may not have a turning point. I may not live that long...

...but for whatever that left of it, I think it's time to pick up the broken pieces and move on. This is as real as it gets in this life.

As I reflect on this journey that I've made so far, there are definitely few things which I am not so proud of... and this would probably top the list.

Would you ever forgive me?

This ain't a love song.

I should have seen it coming when the roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good bye

Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime but
We were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind

Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change

It made me so mad cause I wanted it bad for us baby
Now it's so sad that whatever we had, aint worth saving
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then Im wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason that I'm holding on
Then Im wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy

If the pain that Im feeling so strong
Is the reason that Im holding on
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong - this aint a love song
Yes, Im wrong, yeah, Im wrong - this aint a love song

D-Day

Masters Part I exam had put me out of action for few weeks. Got 1 week of study break from the department and made full use of it. Until i heard that our counterpart whom study outcampus got 2 weeks up to 1 month of study break. Wadahek?!


Since we're banned from entering our own wards, in case we might hear any soalan bocor or potential cases used for exams. I decided to hit the mothership of hospital --> GHKL itself to look out for interesting cases.
Lotsa patients over there man. It's like world war II ward. However i must admit that the GHKL library was stunning.
Not forgetting to mention disovering some nice spots at the national library. I must say the crowd there was enough to make 'kempen baca buku' proud. Amazing setting on the 4th floor.
Anyway just had my exam from Monday to Wednesday this week, a combo of MCQ, essays, problem solvings and practical exam where we were given 4 cases with 7 mins each to diagnose the disease solely based on body physical inspection without asking any questions.
And finally the exam result was announced this evening. Phew the suspense was so nerve-wrecking that i might as well declared a state of temporary insanity.

Thank God - I made it through.
Now that the Part I exam is done and over with shall i be a notty boy for the next 2 years or start head strong for Part II exam @ June 2010.
Ergh MRCP anyone?
