Chelsea Chelsea

So much for the inefficient and faulty public transport, I can't believe that I missed the kickoff on Wed nite.Yes, I finally managed to get tix for football.It was Chelsea vs Valencia,UEFA Quarter finals.I was abt half an hour late though i was supposed to come half an hour early,but luckily I arrived like 5 minutes b4 the 1st goal.Game ended up at 1-1 and both teams will head back to spain for the 2nd game.

Well,girls....if u ever wana c men singing....plz goto the football stadium.Honestly,its where u find most men singing,cheering for their team,haha so yea guys do sing,n they'r really in sync.
The atmosphere was good, i can understand wat Fang meant by its a life-changing experience(quoted from Rachel...cos i dun wana b sued for not referencing...geez been doin too much academic writing these days)....anyway, u'll get wat i mean when u r there...its a must to experience the whole game atmosphere....though i had to pay 54 pounds for it!And for ur info,they dun usually sell tix to general public,u hav to b a club member to hav access to ticket sales mostlo,so i was really lucky that i managed to get those tix.

Also,when the game ended,there's this massive crowd comin out from the stadium that usually b4 n after games,poice hav to do road blocks,so all the roads r closed n vehicles cant access.It's the padestrians world,also tells u how much ppl r crazy for this sport!

Anyway just some pix of the stadium n the game.

Stamford Bridge Stadium-Home for the Chelsea FC (I was in a rush,so just simply took it)

Crowd heating up,Valencia fans sit at top right end corners,under the big screen

Closer view of the goal area, it's Chelsea's attack once again...though I can't really c whois playing


Well,that's about it.Am still stuck at home writing up my report,am about 25% done only,hope I can push it up to 45% b4 I goto Paris nex week,so wish me luck!

Happy Easter everyone!

even when there was no one to pull you up.

Thank you...
Thank you......
Thank you.........

Right here, Right now

Fell sick again on last wed but that didn't stop me from my Manchester trip.

Manchester is a nice place,I suppose calling it the "Melbourne of UK" is not an overstatement.
Thought it's just like another city,trams,shopping malls.Good thing about it is that it offers gourmet food at a more affordable price by UK standard.Went Yum Cha for 3 ppl, only cost us 17 pounds altogether,whereas in London,I had to pay 17 pounds per head the other day. In short,food here is good n cheap.Here are some photos.

Salford Quay

Old Trafford Stadium- Home of the Manchester United
MU's newly signed player-not too bad huh

It actually took me a while to finally decide to buy that jersey cos preferably I'd want an Arsenal one,but oh well since I'm already at the MU store, I tot I might as well buy it right since they hav exactly wat I wanted except for the logo,all the other things like colors names etc fits my needs.Like in one of Cemoron Diaz's film, "there's no Mr Right,but there's a Mr Right now...perhaps one day Mr right now can become Mr Right."

Well I suppose everyone understands that we need to live in the moment.Dwelling too much on the past and thinkin too much abt the future sure isnt gona help.And certainly, indecisiveness/hesitation and procrastination is a definite NONO in the present.That's why I decided to buy the jersey 1st and think later though it cost me 55 pounds to get all the jersey,numbers.logo and names printed but i guess it's quite satisfying.

Anyway like KH said,a good blogger keeps his blog short so I'll stop right here,right now!

60 Days and countingdown

60 Days...approximately 2 months...b4 it all ends...hopefully....

19 weeks per sem ain't fun at all

attending wards and clinics from 8am till 7pm with breaks in between,still.....

9000 thesis with limited time left

reading 60 journal articles overloads u with repetitive info

6 hour exam that I know naught

workin in office is boring

staring at the com's screen all day makes me dizzy

workin on things that u arent being assessed for, it's called duty

60 days left
7 for travel
a few for slacking
a few for wasting
a few for actual studying
and the lot for work work work

all work n no play makes raymond a dull boy
half work n half play makes raymond a tired boy
no work n all play makes raymond a holiday boy

I need more time!!!!

Finally an update

So much for slacking off last semesters, now is the time to pay the price.

Telling people that you've traveled 7 countries in 7 months is cool, but it is so uncool when u fall sick at the end of the day,cumulatively getting 4 cold/flu in the last 5 months.That surely isn't fun.

More inconceivably, having your work load doubling in every single aspect, be it clinical work,computer work,paper work, writing etc. things are just all over the place, especially for someone who hasn't been working so hard for the last few months...sudden increase in stress hormone might just tip off the balance of ones health, causing a myriad gazillion problems...dun even wana go to deep with that......btw I'm currently slacking off to write a post on my blog just because I'm too lazy to work now......

Well,crack the depressing part.Really looking forward to the upcoming 3 months I have left in UK.Frankly, I haven't been to a freakin soccer match!!!!!This is bloody annoying!!!!Nor do I hav the chance of watchin Wimbledon since I'll already be in Melb by then.Instead, I'm heading to Bermingham this weekend to be spectator in the semis and finals for the All-England Badminton competition with a group of Msians from my uni.Guess we're gona shout out loud MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!Well,provided they advance to those rounds though.....

And at the end of the month,goin to Manchester but NOT to watch an MU watch...how disappointing....prob is they dun sell most of their season tickets to the general public and u gota b some silver member or smth to be able to purchase most of the match tix....seriously sux man!
But I guess Manchester would be fine...just chilling out with close frens and talking trash is good enuf for me....just the right timing to relieve my accumulated stress....bsides i manged to get a freakin cheap return bus ticket form megabus.com for only 2.50 pounds,freakin dirt cheap!

I've also bought Eurostar tix to Paris for Easter break and hopefully that'd b fun.Though the hotel that I booked (NB aint not backpackers around paris,and for some hotel u need to pay 2.50 euro for a farkin shower)is extremely central....they say that its in a Red Light District....so....hohoho wats gonna happen?Would be intersting ler....jkjk....but yea...paris would b an awesome destination....disneyland,the louve,eifel tower....n the list goes on.............

And my last eurotrip would probably happen after i finish my research n b4 goin back to msia.Have already bought my flight tix for my 10 day Espanio-portugal tripo.....apparently I heard that in summer u'll c lotsa hot spanish chics in short skirts and slim legs strolling along the street...but hmmm i might b thinking too much of eye candy lately....but anyway 4got to tell u guys after i came back from Scandinavia....seriously i think scandi gals r hot,slim,blonde and beautiful....a gazillion times better than wat i c everyday in this small little island in europe.....

And oh,this month I'm also gona go to a reality show!!!hhaha no i am just a spectator..thats all...but would b fun if u do c my face appearing on bbc...lolz..i hope....

Well,nothing much to say really,apart from the many many many things that are expected to happen soon.....but yea sometimes its just freeakin tiring after work and study....n the lack of time...n guess wat ...i'm already staring to do countdown on the days left....haha...double digit left...so excited ...cant waait to get home and to go back to aus......meh...am falling asleep now....gota go guys....


P.S. Does anyone know alot about PDA/palm...please giv me some advice/recommendation on it or maybe even some useful websites.....newest model coming soon etc....i prefer a light-weight n smaller one btw

One step at a time

One step at a time
Slowly but steadily

One step a time
You'll be closer to your goal

Don't be too greedy
Don't be too hasty

For you will learn to crawl,to walk,to run and to fly
One by one!

Don't be overwhelmed
And don't feel compelled

One step at a time,
Slowly but surely

Forward we go
To a place called home

Little by little
We can build a miracle

One step at a time
We are closer to our goal!

Feels like Forever

Cough Cough....still haven't fully recovered from my flu yet...and there's less than 2 weeks more to go before I head off to Scandinavia for my winter trip.It's already snowing there,so it'd be freaking cold when I get there.

People ask me,why u'd go there when its so cold.Well,the reason I gave them was that I wanted to have a white Christmas.To witness the mighty Fjords covered with snow,the phenoenal Aurora Borealis, visit the Ice hotel,being NAKED in a public pool and many more excitements that awaits!Wahah, can't wait to get there.Well,that's if all go according to planning,fingers crossed.

Oh and for u guys who dunno wat Aurora Borealis is,have a look:




This semester has been long and it's not finished yet!!Man,how many weeks has it been since I left Melbourne??Though there's no exam this semester and I kinda can "ponteng" occasionally to go for trips or just simply resting at home, this semester feels like forever.......From Early July till now,man this is surely the unbeatable longest semester ever.

I really feel tired all this while.Life has not been that enjoyable after I turned 21st,though I was hoping that it'd be the time of my life,but everything just seems to be going down hill.Was I expecting too much or was I simply overdepressed?I really dunno.At times I feel good and I was the one encouraging people.But at times I just feel like shitzz.I guess it's not fun when u come to a place not knowing enuf ppl or not knowing ppl well enuf.And coming to a place where everything is so unfamiliar,it sure feels weird but then slowly u break down the barriers and that's about time u leave this country.That's the feeling I get.There are too many things to do here in London cos its the capital of a nation, and the gateway to Europe.There should be alot of fun things to do.But I guess the saddest part about this is there's no one here for me to share those great things with.Somehow,even if I' doing something interesting, I don't enjoy them anymore.It feels more like I'm doing it for the sake of doing it.Guh...how boring......zzzzzzz


Gotta rest gotta recover,that's what I told myself.Cos if I dun recover by next year...I'm gona screw up in clinical school and that's surely gonna destroy my medical career.So by all means I need to recover for sure this time.

Motivation motivation....something which I possessed in the past is now no longer with me.Been desperately trying to find it but in vain.Lady Luck has also Abandoned me along with many others...this is really going no where.

Then was watching J-drama the other day."1 Litre of Tears"


Pretty huh?Well it's a show after all.

There are some similarities to "A Walk to Remember" but alot different.It's an actual story of a girl who has a severe neurological disorder at the Best time of her Life, High School.A time when one shines radiantly, illuminating their light , shining their presence to the people surrounding them.Undoubtedly the pinnacle of ones life.

I didn't really cry for the show juz bcos I'm a medic and I'm kinda used to this sorta stuff.But if u think it from ur own perspective,it'll b different.Come on,I'm even complaining like an uncle even if I'm just coughing or getting minor injuries from a game or simply getting frustrated or depressed over small failures in life.

I guess I really deserve to continue getting those failures with my current attitude.I don't know how to appreciate simple stuffs.Being alive is perhaps the most wonderful thing for a human.Why are we so greedy and force to get more out of life.We should take things step by step.Why do always yearn for smth more and not appreciating things that have been lost?Even simple things like being able to run...u wont realize thats a precious thing until u injure urself and can't run anymore.Isn't that right?

I'm not sure how my future lies,but who I am today is merely what I've done prior this,and no more than that.You are your lifes own architect,thats what one of my fren believed.

As for Lady luck...Being Lucky also means that being able to create that luck,that oppurtunity for urself....that's called truly lucky.

Been trying to get a grip of myself once again and for eternity.I hope one day I can find the self that I've been looking so hard for.

I guess it's ok to fall as long as I climb back again,afterall I still have the ability and strength to do that.

Right now,the only thing to do is to start...to start appreciating little things in life that I have...start trying abit harder in whatever I do without rushing for results,taking things step by step...start keeping my head up and walk forward instead of looking n the ground.

I am but only human.That's all I am, and that's all I'll be,at least for this life.

May there be a day where the sun shines brightly in the azure blue sky.May there be a day when everyone finds their happiness.Because only darkness can show us a stronger light and we sunlight is always at its best after a rain.Just like after winter,there's Spring!



P.S.

I'd like to apologize for misusing my blog all this while to vent my angers and frustrations. I'd also like to thank those who have given me words of wisdoms and courage all this while.May the misery be buried deep in the ground and never surface again.I'll be on holiday soon, so this blog will go into Deep sleep mode until "Spring " comes!Wish u a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

Weakling

"When a weakling enters an enemy's territory,it's called suicide"(Urahara Kisuke)

Indeed that is the reality of this world,where it's suited for the survival of the fittest and only the strongest and adaptable ones will survive.The winners stay and the losers go.If u r weak,u'll get crushed into pieces, as simple as that.

After 1 semester of constant basketball work out, I though I'd have improved,even the slightest bit,which I honestly have,but it simply wasn't enuf.I was the weakest player on court.Got outrebounded a dozen times by a girl, unable to keep up with the offensive player,unable to play like a team with other team members,can't dribble well enuf,poor passes and receives,stagnant ball movements,poor court vision and many things else.
























I got injured too(Well I should have expected that while I start playing right?It's a physical game afterall)I got hit on my head twice,1 of which almost resulted in me fainting.Bit my mouth once,got hit on my previously injured shin again,and last but not least,my lower back's injured too.Dunno how, but I can't even bend my body,I can't even wear trousers while standing.This is really shit!

Perhaps I should really switch games soon.But I really dunno whether it's badminton or tennis or squash.Maybe it doesn't matter at all cos it's true that I have no talent in sports.

Life is unfair sometimes cos u lack the strength of doing smth.But it's even more unfair if u have the will to b determined to overcome that barrier yet things like injury and pain,things which r completely out of ur control comes and haunt u n ripps u off everything which u acquired through hard work,stoppig ur progress and utterly destroys ur hopes.I really dun like u,if u r the one doing that to me.


N stupid internet,so slow!!!
