Can money really buy happiness?

All my life.. I have live most of my teenage year with my friends.. I have entered a boarding school since  I was 13.. MJSC Kota Kinabalu.. I can say that most of us kinda agree on money really can bring happiness to most people.. Without money, most of the people will have a not so pleased life.. Not so fabulous.. Not so fun.. Not so everything laa.. Simply we conclude that without money your life will always have less and lack of something.. However, the more I grow the more I see.. Hence, the more I learnt.. In fact, within my family, we can't really say that we are rich.. We have been through quite a lot of hardship to get where we are now.. Not specifically I was involved but hey, I grow up hearing their stories.. Besides, I have witness myself how hard they struggle in this life.. To cut short the story, what makes me wanna write up this post is that we had a family day recently.. We had fun, we enjoy.. A lot..  At night we had this small party and in a small hall we celebrate.. We sang and dance.. Laugh and smile.. Then I notice something when I saw they danced through the song they sung.. I see them enjoying themselves.. Like really enjoying.. Like they were the king of the world.. They own the night.. They don't have much you know.. They live humbly in a small village in Kundasang, Ranau.. You know, where the mount Kinabalu (highest mountain in southeast asia) :P .. Okay back to the story.. They really don't have much.. They don't shop in Pavilion, Times square, or simply go out in the city like twice a week or well.. You know what I mean right? They don't alway have that fancy meal you had.. Just the one that people in Malaysia call "cukup2 makan~" :P .. But that night.. I assure you.. I never see people that really really enjoying life, really had a blast, really  HAPPY, like them.. Seriously.. They dance and sing as they pleased.. No worry.. Not a single frown face you can seek.. The way they laugh really makes me jealous and question myself.. Why can't I be more like them.. Stop worrying about the problem I had.. The things I have to do.. Like just live the moment.. I realize what count in determining happiness does not rely money guys.. It's depend on our heart.. As for my family, true happiness is found when the family members gather and spend time together.. Cause that's where our heart lies.. Sure money can get you a nice house and a fancy car.. It does make us feel happy.. I agree.. But it can never be the same as the joy and happiness you felt when you get to spend quality time with the one you love.. Doesn't really matters if you poor or rich.. As long as you can get through this life with the one you appriciate most.. Get through thick and thin together.. Im sure.. You can always find happiness there.. :)

Medicine as a Course?

Here's to some of my juniors who was confused on what course to choose after SPM...

Before I start I would like to implant something in your mind,

Other's opinion on any course, DOES NOT MATTER!

cause at the end,

YOU are the one that make the decision,

and YOU are the one that will face the consequences, in YOUR way.

not their's.

They might say it is boring, YOU might felt it interesting.

They might say it is hard, YOU might felt it easy.

LIFE IS ABOUT TAKING CHANCES.

Why let their thoughts scared you then?

:)

Alright, if you already get that in the mind of yours, I shall share about my life as a medical student so far.

I can only share about medical course cause it would not be fair enough if I make a comment about other courses, cause I haven't go through the other courses myself, it's like judging them without trying them myself. 

And please please again keep in mind that this is my thought, my opinion, my life as a medical student so far, not yours, not others. So, you MIGHT have it differently, others MIGHT have it differently.

Okay then.

I will start by introducing the subject that I have go through so far.

For MBBS in Taylor's so far I haven't use my calculator yet. HAHAHA. So yeah, no maths related subject.

You will have it during Foundation in Science, since it is foundation, so you will learn all science thingy, physics, math and mostly all the subject you have for your SPM, just going deeper I guess.

After you started you medical degree, not really science subject, more to medical-related science of course. We have anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, physiology, pharmacology and all that is synonym to these. For soft skill, we have clinical skill, where we learn how to perform injection, examine patient, basically all the stuff that doctors need to practice in the clinic. We also learn communication skill, which is about doctor-patient relationship, effective communication for better diagnosis and so on.

The learning style we have is that we learn block by block, so we have foundation block (not the same with Foundation In Science), haematology & immunology block, cardiovascular block, respiratory block, gastrointestinal tract block, nervous system block and many more to come. We will have 1 theory exam paper for each block. We also have OSPE (Objective Structured Practical examination) and OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination), which are quite similar as both exam test our skills and hands-on capabilities.

What I think about this course so far is that it really take GRIT to survive this course.
Well, grit is nothing but a positive trait regarding a passion or perseverance to achieve the long term goals.
In other words, it is how strong will you keep holding on to stay in track and keep on improving yourself despite of the obstacles and failure that you need to face from time to time.
I'm not going to lie. It is not easy. At some point, me myself felt so unmotivated and literally down with my studies. But b*tch please? :P I'm still here!! still fighting strong!! B)
Every time I fall, I get back up. Why? How? I left myself with that choice only.
If FALL, GET BACK UP! simple. :)
Cause I choose this course, I choose to be in this pathway. Turning back is not really my style. I rather die fighting :P
I'm not trying to set up a negative thought on this course but you should know, it is not going to be easy.
Orang melayu cakap,

BUKAN SENANG NAK JADI SENANG :)

Just try to enjoy the journey. Furtheremore, YOLO right? hahahahaha

 As I go through the course, I can see how medicine turn a first class student to a grade E student. hahahahahaha....
 Don't be so shock.
 In medicine, grade A is so rare. VERY RARE. And B is the new A. C is the new B and the list follows. Failure is common. hahahaha. Be Ready. Physically and mentally.

As a conclusion,
Medicine is not as hard as they said. It's depend. Just like the other courses. HAHAHAHAHA
Trust me, GRIT takes you everywhere. You will get through everything anything with it. Here's a link to a video regarding GRIT that might inspired you as it did to me :)

It's You that are Important

Friend.

well, I kinda disappointed at this moment..

I don't know how some people that we called as "friend" can easily turn back on us. But what hurt the most is that in front of us, they act like everything is fine like "i'll always got your back" thingy.

Whatever reason you are having back there girl, just make sure it will worth it. Cause it still remain unsure whether you are going to marry him or not. And did you remember the time when he turn back on you? well, as long as I remember, we are the one who stood by you, did we? maybe we don't understand your love story but girl, I do respect your decision but don't forget us when you're happy with him already, don't see us as 'wrong' all the time just because you are happy with him again. make your own stand your own rational.

But still, I'm not the kind of person who's willing to lose a friendship just because I don't like your boyfriend. Please know that our friendship worth more than that to me. I don't care who is him, what you wanna do with him, what he wanted you to do, that's just totally your business.

But please, people around you does not makes you who you are. It's you yourself. You and your personality. We may stand together but still the main thing is we always represent yourself, since the moment we're born, now, and till death comes.

 We don't judge you based on your boyfriend's attitude did we? I don't even care bout him. you and him different thing, you and us different thing, cause if i were to treat you based on his attitude, I wouldn't want to talk to you, hearing you talking, tweet you, read your tweet, see your face or even let you stay at my place, yeah, that bad. The best is just to get involve with each and everything. you are not a superhero. you may get hurt. stay at your comfortable side, and let your mature lil boyfriend settle his own problem, you're not his mom. Cause we're actually try hard not to hurt you, but if we do, I'm sorry. I'm really2 sorry.

I don't know if you can talk bad about me with him, I don't wanna know but I sure do hope you don't.
just remember no matter how bad thing turn up to, you are always be a friend of mine, even if I'm not a friend of yours already.

p/s: I don't mind if you wanna report this post to him. well, just share it if you think you'll feel better. And, I'm not pointing at anybody directly, this is an indirect message, if you think it's you I'm talking bout, it could be.. hehe :)
together we can make things better. I'm working on it, and it would be better if you help me. Just give e a call alraight? :)

And, I still loveeee you my friend! (: not going to judge you, it is not my job, it's God job.. Peace..

XOXO

Be Responsible

here's a scenario:

tweet something bad bout a friend,

humiliates the friend,

other people see,

hurt the particular friend's feeling in public,

realize you are wrong,

but too scare to apologize in public,

or even too proud to say sorry in personal,

leave it that way.

what do you think bout this? share with me.
