Back from Village...

Wow, just came back from my village yesterday.
it felt really nice during the stay actually so i kinda miss it... a little.
Most of the 'mokcik'(aunties) and 'pokcik'(uncles) are really kind while we are doing survey at their houses.
some even served food!!! i've tasted the infamous 'lakse kelate'(Kelantanese laksa) and of course my village's specialty: 'ayer nyiur wangi'(coconut water)!!!

Now that i am back, i am looking forward for my Langkawi trip!!!

Oh, this world is full of joy!!!

Have to enter village in 2 days...

As a part of our medical programme, we have to live with a foster family at a nearby village while we do community research there.
this will be the 2nd time we are going in and it's for another 5 days.
During the stay, we will be doing questionnaires from families to families...
After that have to prepare data for presentation to panel as well as prepare a proposal for intervention to the problems in the village.
So, i will be busy for quite some times and most probably have to time to update.

Wish me luck.

What is love?

Valentines approaching and everybody is asking everybody these questions:
- who you are going out with?
- where you are going to bring thet person to?
- what is your present?

This makes me think about what love really is? and the purpose of finding a lifetime partner.

For me, i feel that there is no such need! If you are talking about partnership and connections, you can always find your friends, i think everybody will have at least 1 true friend to turn to... and sometimes, your true friends are even closer to you compare to your partner..!

If it's only to live together till old, start a family, have sex, have children, then i feel it's redundant and is added the element of lust.

The qualities of love is that you care for the other person unconditionally, never expect anything in return...

Or perhaps it's our animal instinct that guide us to seek for a sex partner, to continue our species legacy; dates and marriage is just social ethics to get the hunt.

Just bits of my thoughts. pls don't mind my blabberings...

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Wow... every year, it will be a different experience.

This is the first year my sister-in-law joins us for reunion dinner. It's been a while since reunion dinner is so lively. We cracked jokes and talked throughtout the dinner.

But, this year i didn't get to meet as many friends as yesteryears... mainly due to timing... maybe next year.

now, that i am back in campus... everything had to begin from the start; the mega 'Chinese New Year Night' is over (at last... after 3 months of hard work); now had to concentrate on studies! time to get my notes and stuffs reorganized... which is quite messy... and i actually haven't quite recover from my lack of sleep during that period... = (

plus, have to wait for the 'Post-CNY Syndrome' to subside...

symptoms include
- staring at the same page for longer than 15 minutes and still don't know what's it about;
- at a fixed time of the day (for me, it's 8.00 pm at night) we lost control and just have to idle around aimlessly or look for friends to chat away the time;
- most converstion are governed by what happened that night, who wore what, comments and stuffs associated with it...

usually this syndrome will subside after about 1 month if mild and for those who are more serious, it can lasts for half a year!!!

Well then, time to start afresh! Ahoy, here comes nerdy Jason once again!!!
