Humans

Humans.. are creatures that's bound to ties and bonds, be it another creature or an object;
Humans.. are creatures full of emotions, good and bad.

Some are highly charged and release their 'voltage' constantly or what known as those with 'High Expressed Emotion' (HEE)
Some tend to not manifest their emotion but kept it in their heart, hence 'Low Expressed Emotion' (LEE)
*note: as you can see now that i naturally belong to LEE family.. ;p

Anyway, life goes on today as per every day, yet a particular event made me feel dull and bored with the ties and bonds that humans share..
What's a friend if he cared too much about returns, what others can do for him.. this influenced him that greatly that he can just keep all the unpleasantness in his mind for like.. forever, and would just keep digging at the old wounds over and over again. His friends will be in the wrong when they didn't asked him out for a meal this time round and would just keep on throwing sarcasms into his friends' faces.. However, he will not be in the wrong when he himself didn't ask his friends out.. Funny right?
He expects other to reciprocate and know what he wants at exactly when he wants it by how he wants it to be without actually asking him.. if not, prepare yourself to meet with Grouchy the dwarf.. (his friends should have at least some basics in mind-reading skills to survive..!) But does he know the sacrifices others did for him? Is he able to read others' minds as well? Should his friends be like him, hoping more from him?

Well, i understand that everyone will have their good and bad qualities; everyone has their good sides and we should always try to look at the positive points and the happy times spent together. I'm just saying it's kinda hard sometimes to understand this type of person and totally avoid clashes that'll result in a cold war for 100 hours which is quite unnecessary.. and at some point, you'll wonder if there's any meaning to it as you tread the road with great caution so as not to step on any traps and every step you take become so deliberate until sometimes you just don't feel like making any moves at all which of course tend to worsen the whole situation.. *sigh*

I really hope there's something cheerful for me to blog in soon or i'll have to change the title of my blog to 'A Gloom Life'...

New Semester, New Surprises

Well, well.. what do you know.. here i am in my fifth & final (hopefully) year in medical school. It's been almost a week now since the new semester started and so far so good, at least i am still able to 'curi' a litttle time to write an entry..
But i am afraid it's not that lucky for some other students.. When i first arrived back in ol' campus, a whole bunch of the students got a heck of surprises..!

Now, there's an abrupt rearrangement of hostels and hundred over students were transferred to another hostel resulting in many dissatisfied students including 1 of my buddy. Alright, it's just moving hostel, what's the big deal apart from having to move your things from hostel M to hostel N which is only a football field apart? Oh boy, the climax had yet to come..

When my friend got his room key, we was so shocked to find out that all the students who was transferred to hostel N from M was given querter room (which is like the worst room where you have to share with 3 other students whom you don't know with very very limited personal space only fit for freshmen juniors and maybe 2nd and 3rd year students..) despite the fact that my friend is already a 5th year student!!! This is ridiculous as he had to share his room with 3 other 1st years..! Not only him but all other 5th year students who were transferred had the same fate. When he complained to the officer-in-charge, he was told that the name list was only finalized that day and they had no choice but to slot in the names into any available empty spaces.. the whole bunch of them tried complaining back to hostel M and was given a lot of excuses; as we stood there listening to them, i was thinking, 'yeah, keep on going, you must have thought of 1001 excuses in your brains now to deal with us..' So, in the end, my friend only ended up filing an appeal with the slightest hope to get a better room, but all of us knew that this hope is as dim as a candlelight that's going to burn out..

However, when you thought that this was the climax, there's even a greater height in sight: about 90 students were transferred out from hostel M to a place called UPPU, i didn't know the exact full term but my best guess was Unit Penginapan Pelajar Universiti.. note: they didn't even dare to use the word Hostel, it's just a Unit but the best word for it is actually a Barrack!

This UPPU was actually derived from the 1st and 2nd floor of shophouses where they fit in about 30 beds and cupboards in 1 floor! Visualize: immediately ext to a bed is a cupboard then next to the cupboard is another bed! hard to visualize? just think of a scene of an army barrack in any movies and you'll get a similar picture.. and there's only 3 toilets to be shared by 30 students! Study tables were arranged in 1 row on each side of the wall of a narrow corridor situated at the middle of the unit, where there's no ventilation and not to mention not enough lighting. Imagine how the residents are going to have some of their privacy; where to keep their things without worrying about theft, how to study in that kind of condition?

I really felt sorry for those guys who got their name listed to live in UPPU. As i know, most of them are already planning to find another place to stay..

Wonder, what other surprises are in stored..?
