Cuti-cuti Malaysia 2

Met some friends.. Some of them whom I have not seen for 6 years!

This, ladies and gentleman, is an old cicak (gecko)....seriously very old. I was holding an unstable cabinet at my house when this animal was only 60cm away from my hand! I prayed very hard it would not crawl towards my hand!! Gosh, for 1.5 years in UK, I never see this fella.

And this is BABI hutan........ about to be cooked. Yumm

yo!

Sorry lah I haven't been blogging for a while.

Anyways, a quick update about everything

1. I passed my exam! And now, I'm officially a 4th year medical student. Damn, 3 years gone by really quick, and now just 2 more years to go.. before you call me: Dr.Wilson

2. Congrats seniors for graduating. You are officially doctors now! :)

3. Most important of all..... I'm back in Malaysia. Woooohooooo. After 1.5 years not being back in KK, I finally balik. It's really wonderful here. Food is good (albeit being high in salt, fat, msg content) - I'll indulge myself with food and make myself fat for this holiday. Some impressive changes have been taking place in this part of the world - more flyovers, more upcoming residential spots and more shopping malls. Loving the £ money ( exchange rate at £1= RM6.38). Shop and makan like gila!

4. I always told my Semenanjung friends that I always see pigs crossing the road in the area where I live. Til now I haven't seen them yet. Although I have seen a dead snake, freshly-flattened, ran over by a car on the road.

5. I painted my room! Never re-painted it since it was first painted. So now, gone are my childhood 'artwork' on the wall with the brand new honey-dew colour on the wall. And now, to add more deco's to my room!

6. Things to settle for summer:

a. Settle Raya/fresher's dinner venue for QMMSoc. Never knew it would be that costly to hire a place in London. Takut overbudget. Then, Mandela and I will settle to get sponsorship for the society next year

b. Climb Mount Kinabalu! Go to Manukan Island!

c. Meet up old college/classmates

d. Chillex

e. Shopping

f. Visit my La Salle

Illegal immigrants

Found this in a website which feature an interview with the website's editor and one of the Sabahan ministers. It is on the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah.


Q: So, when you say that 70,000 is too low, how much is the estimate on the ground?

A: I don't know. How do you do a head count on this?

Q: If you don't know, then why do you think 70,000 is too low?

A: In 1970, Sabah had 636,431 people and Sarawak had 979,269. And Sarawak has always had more people than Sabah.

In 1980, Sabah's population went up to 929,299 and Sarawak's was 1,235,553.

In 2000, Sabah's population had increased to 2,499,389 while Sa-rawak's was 2,012,616.

The population from 1970 to 2000 went up by 285 per cent in Sabah, compared with 106 per cent in Sarawak. And the national population growth was 113 per cent in those three decades.In the 2005 consensus,

Sabah's population was 3,313,000 while Sarawak's was 2,340,000.

So, in 35 years, Sabah's population had over taken Sarawak's by nearly a million. Where did these people come from?

Q: It's not possible that Sabahans are just happy and productive people?

A: I don't know. How productive can you be? You can't have twins all the time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Happy and productive people.

Mr Exam

Dear Mr Exam,

Tomorrow will the time of the year when I meet you again. You will be insulting my intelligence and smirking in highlighting my lack of preparation in some areas of medicine. You will remind me that this time of the year can have only two outcomes: you pass, or you fail. And you'll be jerking me with my previous failure and hysterically laughing me my loss my confidence in passing the exam.

I'll allow you to do that. Afterall, you've been hibernating all throughout the year. You must have grown fat with vengence from all those times of sleeping.

I respect you a lot. You prove yourself wise over and over again with high standards that you set for us the medical students to ensure we actually know our stuff so that we don't kill a patient for the lack our basic knowledge. You taught me that whatever that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger which inspires me to work harder. With this knowledge you want us provide hope to our patients whenever we can. Hence you make us crack the hard grounds of our pride, ignorance and laziness where the hope is burried underneath.

I hope I have unearth enough. I will overcome you this year. I will.
