Ku Mohon

a song that truly inspires me. the lyric is genuinely beautiful with a depth that i can relate to. it provides me strength and encouragement when i need them.

Setiap hari ku mohon
Agar Kau sentiasa
Memberiku ketenangan
dalam hati... kekuatan
Menempuhi segala
dugaan yang mencabar ini
Pasti punya ertinya...

Engkau beriku harapan
Menjawab segala persoalan
Hadapi semua dengan tenang
Dengan merasa kesyukuran
Ku doa Kau selalu
Mengawasai gerak-geriku
Berkatilah...
ku perlu rahmat dari Mu

Oh Tuhan...
terangkan hati dalam sanubariku
Oh Tuhan
ku berserah segalanya kepadamu
Agar jiwaku tenang
dengan bimbingan Mu selalu

Ada kalanya ku merasa
hidup ini seperti kaca
Jikalau tidak bersabar
Hancur berderailah akhirnya
Tabahkanlah hatiku
Melalui semua itu...
Kuatkanlah...
Cekalkanlah diriku...

updates on my project

• throughout the week, honestly, i had been back and forth seeking another adviser but to no avail. so, i have to settle and work with my current supervisor.
  

• actually i can throw away all the questionnaires that i had done previously as i won't be needing them anyway. instead, i'll be using a standard scoring system, the oxford hip scoring and the WOMAC index respectively

• i've talk to several people already, and they suggested that it is better if i use a prospective approach on my study. although it may be somewhat troublesome, but the end result will be rewarding.

• so, now how many sample size should i'll be using? i haven't decided on that yet because i'm going to keep my options open in the near future as this will allow some flexibility in my data collection

• i feel more confident of my project rite now. truth be told, it's nothing ground breaking but i believe if i invested some effort and really pull it together, insyaAllah this will put me on a good head start.
  

the smart squad

Firstly, i would like to congratulate the chap who scores 21 As in the recent spm examination. Without a shadow of doubt, i am highly convince that he must put a lot of effort, burning the midnight oil and bury himself under pile of books so that he can secure such an outstanding result. I bet the family must surely have a generous splendor of "doa selamat" to celebrate this historic achievement as a sign of their gratitude towards the blessing of the Almighty.

I'm happy that someone in the country shoots up a record that high. I'm happy that the someone is a malay stud, a race that is often associated with slacking, laziness and unproductive. Sad but true. And i hope in the future, he will continue to deliver beautiful grades with excellent quality of knowledge, taking big steps in becoming a respectable figure later in life.

To mr. Azali Azlan, u definitely earn my utmost respect. But my advice to u now,is go and have some fun dude. u study long enough already. =)

Quoatation of the day

recently i watched an episode of nip tuck, n this particular dialog kept on playing in my head, n i thought what she said was brilliant as this showed her high self esteem and confidence regardless. She knows she deserves the best and will not settle for anything less.

girl : "just because i am ugly, doesn't mean i'm attracted to ugly. i am just affected by the media as anybody else "

it takes real guts to utter something like that with full conviction mind u. and having said that, i really admire someone who put up their head up high, chin up, shoulder straight and stride with confidence but deep down, they r still well grounded nonetheless. remember... confidence does not necessarily translate to arrogance!

a shirt ..

i don't know why, but today, i feel like dropping as many entries as possible. but this a rather petty subject anyway, nothing important. earlier today, i was reorganizing my picture folders and i come across this photo. i really like that shirt. should've bought it then but it was way over my budget and i was broke that day. too bad, shirt like this doesn't come often huh...

Surgery

So, for the next 2 weeks, i'll be under the guidance of mr gaffney, a general surgeon in shanakiel hospital. since i never meet him before, i really hope that he's a nice dude. i have heard great things about him from some of my mates, but the downside is that he asks simply too many questions. huhuh, this means that i got to read more la and brush up on my rusty anatomy!

Facebook?? too complicated la...

I know it is hype and everything, that u can add so many applications, put on almost everything on ur profile, not to mention expressing ur emotions, thoughts and views by simply posting a shout out. I get it. It's the "in" thing of today. But frankly speaking, i'm getting tired of participating in another social network. I have friendster already, that is sufficient for me. Maybe it's my loss as everyone seems to turn their attention to facebook now. hahah, but no matter, I'm content with what i have. Another thing is, i know some of u mean well, but can u please stop sending me all the invitations to join facebook. I'm tired of ignoring them =P

The other boleyn girl

just want to recommend this movie which i think is worth a watch

u can never learn enough

just now, i had a tutorial about vaccination in children, a topic that i am very familiar about and something that i can say it out loud with full conviction if asked. but as much i would like to believe that i was well prepared, the sad truth was what i know is practically next to nothing if compared to the knowledge that i have yet to learn. so, what more can i say? the more reading i do, the more i realize that ... what i have is pretty much inadequate.

Final Year Project

Obesity and hip replacement surgery. To what extent does obesity in the elderly female complicate the early postoperative outcome in comparison to normal weight patient?

so guys.. any great ideas for me to write? unfortunately, i have to finish up with the questionnaires by the end of this month. so, if u have any views that can help me with this project, by all means please let me know. i really appreciate any help that i can get.

when ego meets

I know how important your pride is to u & i had no intention of robbing u of it. I feel terrible that i upset u. But i just wished that once i a while, u can reflect back and feel bad for the things u did. I have pride too u know. I'm just like u.

oiam 2

Though i'm not an avid follower of OIAM 2, but i do watch it every now and then, especially during the last few weeks where there r just a handful of contestants left. Of all the talented singers there, it is undeniable that sarah sings the best. She is by far, miles ahead of the rest. But it's a pity than Malaysian are very generous in giving sympathy votes and throwing away money for personality rather than pure talent. congratulations to ayu anyway, surely she'll make a lovely from rag to riches story.

paediatric

Towards the end of the 1st week of doing paeds, i must admit that it is far more interesting then i would've expected. Maybe because of the previous encounter during the last few months enable me to prepare myself beforehand, to be more sensitive and geared towards the need of a child. The way children think fascinates me sometimes. They remind me of how i was exactly many years ago, stubborn, selfish, self centered and yeah down right annoying too. But now, being 23 and looking at them, i no longer blame them for doing what they do best.

Children... they're just acting their own age & maybe i should do that as well.
