Reception area

Last week, I have been spending my time with four of my college mates,David Lee, Heah Jun Jie,Tan Tee Shen and Tan Yue Hau at Taman Negara Pahang Malaysia or simply known as National Park of Pahang Malaysia for three days and two nights. I had to admit that we were living in the most opulent resort available in the area, namely Mutiara Resort Taman Negara. Initially we had thoughts that there would be no resorts available if we were to book for accommodations on the spot.  During our journey to National Park, we took minivans,RM 7 per person along with a couple from Netherlands, Remy and Eva. To our surprised, they were somewhat bold as they took the risky routes by booking rooms when they reached! Soon after reaching our destination, we had to walk for around ten minutes then boarding small boats for RM1 each before we arrived the resort. Oh god ,I have to tell you that I have never lived in such luxurious resorts while travelling in my entire life! Often , I would rather stay in a budget hotels and spend more on FOOD #typical #asians! This was the best resort that I have ever lived in #no #exaggeration #included. Upon checking in, we placed our luggage in our family chalet before proceeding to our next activities. By night, we started our first activity which was Night Jungle Walking! Boy I have tell you what a waste of money it were for locals who spend RM45 per person! Due to the crowds, we saw nothing but insects and arachnids ( okay we actually managed to see some birds sleeping as well) .We were expecting to see some night life animals such as owls and wild cats but to no avail. We went through the nights with some snacks and cup noodles #studentslife due to our tight budgets.

The restaurant

 On next morning, we woke up early in the morning to have our morning buffet as if we starving cavemen.Then we continued our adventure by hiking Bukit Terisek with extremely limited supply of water. Nonetheless, mustering our energy and filled with determination, we successfully reached the not-so-breath-taking peak. On top of that, we also tried the Titian Gantung ( Hanging Bridge) which can be quite a difficult task for those with Acrophobia out there. Yet you get to enjoy picturesque scenery of National Park there ( it's just that you are at a ridiculously high level above the ground). Then, we went to the famous Aloy Fried Chicken stall:

• Fried Chicken RM 3 each
• Cheese Burger RM 3 each
• Nasi Lemak RM 1 each

Next, we went for raft shooting at RM 20 each. We get to see around Taman Negara with some water-splashing events going on that caused all of us drenched haha. When night came, we went for Safari Night at RM 35 each. For the first time in my life I was literally sitting on top of a car ( Toyata Hilux) ! Exciting ride around the palm oil estates, Discovery of wild animals such as wild cats, kingfishers, cows and monkeys!
On the third and very last day of our #YOLO trip , we went to the resort's restaurant as usual engulfing all the food available on the tables #lmao. After checking out, we went through excruciating 10 hours of journey to our next destination, Sitiawan, Perak!. Thousand thanks to the organiser, Heah Jun Jie, that four of us were able to meet up and hanging out together and of course did sohai stuffs despite our hectic schedules ( actually my hectic schedule haha)! Buddies for life! Stick around for the next post about Klang and Perak! Till then, au revoir! ^_^

I am deeply apologetic for the huge gap between my previous post and this one.For the past 2 weeks, I have been living a hectic life! Holy cow, times pass by without me even realising it, especially when during happy and joyful occasion! Yes, my winter break (more like study break) started in mid December and I managed to take a week off from the hustle and bustle of city travelling around Malaysia with my college mates! I will save that travelling part for the next post (so do stick around!).Basically we have traveled Perak, Selangor and Pahang. Upon reaching my hometown, I was becoming the tour guide for my mates as they spent few days around here! Due to time constraint, we were not able to visited all the places around Perak and even Penang. Hence,hopefully there will be another trip next year during our breaks! After that, Christmas arrived! Happy belated Merry Christmas people, and obviously Happy Boxing Day today to you guys! So sorry for cramming all in a post.Happy holidays!Have a nice days ahead!Remember to stick around! :)

Heelloooo! If you are oblivious to the date, today happens to be 11.12.13! So Happy 11.12.13 guys! This morning, I went to the government clinic to observe communication between doctors and patients and their performance! Hmm.... you could say that I was more like a auditor.There were some performance bias in the results albeit I achieved the objectives of the visit, which was to give feedback on their performance mainly because they went through my evaluation paper! Nonetheless, the amiable doctors were generally helpful and I was able to learn new things from them. For instance, I just got to know that upon graduation from medical school, I will be nothing but an undifferentiated doctor! That would be much lower rank than a General Practitioner because in order to be a GP, I will need to further my studies for another gruesome FIVE years! In total, TEN years are needed for a mere GP title! Yes you heard it right, 10 years!
In conclusion, after completing medical school with GP title, your friends would have already graduated 7/8 years ago with minimum monthly income of $5,000 and some might even have started their own family. By that time they have already earned  $420,000 and you will start with a basic salary of around $3,000 with a huge amount of debt, that could be around $1,000,000. Looks like today is not a happy day afterall. #depressing ._.

 Helloo.This gloomy morning, I just received my assignment from the university.Upon looking at my devastating results, my world turned upside down. Never had I thought that I would ever obtain a nearly failed grade for my assignment. Alright, I knew that my English language was neither fluent nor bombastic as native speakers. However, I was taken aback by the poor grades given by the lecturers because the of the fact that I considered myself as an average joe. Worse of all, I was then preparing for English examination which was conducted at 1600. The news has absolutely diminished my confidence to 0% ( Even 0% is an understatement) and reminded me of the education that I have been taking for all these years.
Nonetheless, it hit my mind that the only way to get through this is not to give up or complain, but to try harder for the next assignment and prove to the lecturers that I have what it takes to be a doctor with excellent writing, speaking, reading and listening skills in English!  may block my way, but I will strive and work harder for I want to become a great writer!

Moments ago,Tom Daley has just posted  a Youtube video entitled "Tom Daley: Something I want to say..." . Turns out that he reveals that he is currently in a gay relationship!According to Tom, "I never really had serious relationship to talk about.Now I kinda feel ready to talk about my relationship.Come springs this year,my life changed massively, when I met someone and it made me feel so happy, safe and everything just feels great and that someone is a guy and it did take me by surprise a little but it wasn't until spring this year that something just clicked. It felt right and I was like ok."
In short,Tom Daley came out!In my humble opinion, I believe that Tom has certainly moved the heavy boulders right off his shoulders upon his decision of uploading this video.Tough not all his family member are being supportive, the main thing is that Tom himself is happy and I have to admit that he is brave enough to reveal his true feeling, regardless of consequences.Way to go Tom Daley! :)
