Pupuk!

Sure wondering apa pasal dengan title of the blog? Well for ppl not from SPU of UMS, it stands for Program Perkongsian Universiti-Keluarga or in English University-Family Partnership in Community Wellness Program (UFPCWP). Panjangnya! So let's jz stick with PUPUK la.

After introducing all the nama panjang, explain sikit2 pasal program ni la. Basically every student in SPU will be getting a foster parent of their own for the whole 5 year duration of studyin in UMS. 2 students with 1 family. This PUPUK program is based in Kudat(I've been to Kudat!), so had a chance getting out of KK for a change la although not long. Through this programme, we'll get to kno more abt the ppl in Sabah, all the orang bumiputera and their tradition etc etc. Every year we hv to visit our foster parents around 3 times at least. So now i got papa n mama in Sabah lo! Hehehehe. Next time go Sabah must go Tip of Borneo. Dengar cerita banyak cantik. Hehehehe. Don wanna talk too much la. Let the pic do d talking.

P/s: I kno tis post supposed to be published like so long time ago, tapi bz la. Sekarang baru habis exam. Dahla buat silly mistakes. Terbang 5 markah... Hehehehe.. Pictures!!

After introducing us to our foster parents, we talked to our foster parents, just get to kno them n all la.. My papa's name is Tamar Rabam. He's a Rungus with 4 children. 2 of his sons is in Peninsula now while the other is still in Sabah. Youngest daughter now studying in Form 5. C i was paying attention! hahahaha. Talked with a few awkward moments in between then we headed out for tea. Then it was time to visit their house which is situated not far from the town which name i forgotten. (sorry la too much of anatomy to memorise until now simple town name oso can lupa!). Here are a few pics i took at their home...
Shot no 1. Their house front porch..
Here's a preview of their kitchen..

C my mama waving? Bubbye~ >:D<
Met this cute boy there.. Comelkan?
then the gals from the school..

On the whole, the experience was valueble and learnt so much there. Makes u think how fortunate u r to be born in a better condition compared to them. Transportation oso menjadi masalah. Road leading to their house was in a quite teruk condition oso. So must be content with wat we have. C who's talking padahal i complain so freaking banyak. So let u guys layan ur own fikiran, think how lucky u r while saya pegi berkenalan with my vertebrae. Haih. baru habis exam tapi assignments melambak...... Till the next post!

What happened la?

Been vy down tis few days. Actually for 2 days only la. Since Sun nite. But me being as optimistic as i could be, i cant seem to pull myself out of this state of emo-ness. I myself so wanna stay happy, but as happy-go-lucky as i m, somehow i cant seem to find a solution for this prob. Somemore tests are coming up real soon, lagi la tension. Oh well. Just sleep on it tonite n hope it gets better tmr. Actually i'm supposed to be happy for all the things that i'm blessed with. But then not all things are going in the way that i would like them to (i know this happens most of the time in our lives), and with some probs arising from somewhere here n there, it really got me down la. Tot boleh buat tak tahu, like i dont give a damn abt all thse stuffs, but then being a person who think too much really din help me in this situation. Like a bomb going to explode anytime. For now all i could do is just carry on, live happy and contented wit everything i hv, focus on the major stuffs in life first, then when there's time here n there only ponder on it i guess. Make sense ahr? I'm too blur to make some sense now. Enuf with all these emo talk la. From now on, just stay on a positive note i guess. Emo betul la kat UMS! kena balik pd la.. Till the next post! promising that it'll be a happy wan.

How la?

I know I'm supposed to be studying now. But as i read each word, my eye lids get heavier and heavier; Head starts nodding uncontrolably (is there even such word?) and the next thing u kno here i m. How la this so called medical student.. nvm take a breather then continue.. This weekend hv to spend most of the time studying (so looking forward to tat.. yea rite?). But then ho. Yoga Lin coming down to 1Borneo le. I so like this guy. I'm torn now. Nak study untuk exam ke? Atau pegi jumpa d singer i like so so so so much. Haihz.. Think it thru tmr la..

Well last post was mainly abt my classmates. Well things hasn't changed much. But okie la. They are quite nice in helping answering questions if u ask them. But to ask them to do something like decorate classroom, most wouldn't even bother. I dare not say all cos some did came up n said thank u and all. Some oso went on to apologise. Luckily that day Munir was so kind to come n fetch us. By the time sampai hostel d 12 something. Over time le!! Anyway it's my responsibility oso. Oh well.. Wat's done is done la. Dont wanna think abt it d..

I think panjang enuf la. This weekend kalau tension belajar then i'll blog abt my kudat trip n foster parents la. They're so nice!! I'm blessed i kno. Till the next post la.. STUDY!! Jia you!! ;P

08/08/08

After feeling so stressed out yesterday, now I’m finally feeling a teeny tiny lil bit okie d. Actually okie d la. Just feel kinda disappointed and frustrated with myself tat’s all. For those in campus shud kno d la. I mean my classmates found out about it like not even an hour after the incident happened and sms from ppl I myself dunno d no came pouring in. Huh? I m oso puzzled. But feel as though I’m well taken cared of by my ever so loving classmates, especially my roomie wit my 5 jie mei (now like became 4 of us d) who had to deal with all my whining n weird weird behavior yesterday. Singing at the top of my lungs at times. Oh yea kok tung oso had to bear with me running back to the hostel in the rain. Not tat I want to, just that there was no bus, so jalan la bawah hujan. Haiyo.. Damn sui la ytd!!

U must be wondering wat happened to me ytd. Story begun on 26/7/08 at my house. Yes my house in Port Dickson. Being so rush n panic about coming to Sabah for the first time n all by myself I still made myself fill up my borang PTPTN online with a mind thinking about all other stuffs. Thinking I did a job well done in filling up my form, I went to sleep with a peace mind thinking all hv been settled n I’ve even printed and double then triple check all my details. Fast forward to yesterday, 7/8/08 the day I’ll take a long time to erase from my memory. Yesterday was the day I chose to hand in my borang PTPTN. Thinking I’ve got everything done, I went to anjung siswa thinking in a few weeks/months time I’ll be getting my loan. Yay! So pegi la pukul 1pm, taking my seminar time to do it cos I’ve finished all my slides (yes I’m efficient I kno). Pegila tunggu thinking most prob it might just take a few hours to get it done. A FEW hours indeed I took to get it done. Imagine waiting at the small corridor leading towards the bilik seminar, with every1 sandwiched together like sardine in the can. I was like how smart r we. It’ll take sometime be4 they open that damn door, y not be comfortable n spread out. But being typical kiasu Malaysian, ask them to move 1 step back oso susah. So wait la with all kinds of body odour around since it was a scorching hot evening.

Finally the door opened first time at approx 3.30pm, tapi semua crush themselves masuk. Saya tak dapat masuk cos too far behind. Haih~ Then wait la lagi. By the time they open the door again it was already 6.30pm! Yes it has been 5 hours ++ that I’ve waited. I finally pushed thru n entered! Success. That’s wat I tot. The no tat time was 364 I think. Then they say sit n wait la. Okie la tunggu. Finally man came give taklimat n we were given our numbers after tat. My no? 494! 100 lebih to go le! So hungry d go makan dulu la cos tak makan lunch oso. Balik get everythin sahkan tunggu lagi then by approximately 9, my no came. So at first everything went smoothly. Then suddenly the man said, cik. Cik sudah isi salah pada borang cik. Harh? Cik isi tahun mula pengajian 2005. Double harh! That time I still in Sdasa sitting beside Kiran n with my whole gang of Jason, Nagendra, Boon Leong and all joking around. Then came the bomb. Cik kenalah mohon semula. Whole world came crumbling down. Heart fell. I really can’t describe my feelings that time. I was so angry yet I kno it’s all my fault. So I left with a heavy heart. That was when the bus driver decided to take time off n there was no buses to go back. Jalan kaki la pada waktu malam. By the time I reach hostel d 10! I was so mad at myself cos I waited for 8 hours plus for nothing! Tough lesson indeed. Somemore there was a report that needs to be handed in today. Alamak! Saya cari maklumat je tapi belum buat! So it was so damn blur for me the whole day ytd. Buat la sampai larut malam sampai tak boleh tahan tidur la.

So now here I m after my fun practical. Yes I did have fun during this practical. It was so fun looking at all different kinds of cells. It has been quite sometime since I last used a microscope. N it is definitely a good transition from many many ppl sharing 1 microscope or using buruk microscope to a person having 1 microscope each n having their own slides. Hehehehe. Definitely fun! Now lunch time spend sometime in library after going to the food carnival. I so miss the pasar malam in PD!! Now library has become like my 2nd house. I spent like practically most of my free time. Now here’s a look at the library. Actually last time I always went to the megalab. Last week was the first time I entered the books session. This week spent like most of my free time here studying. Yes I m studying okie! Now let u have a glimpse of my uni’s library la..

The medical section
From another point of view
Now this is wat ppl usually do..
Or this.. vy common indeed
As for me n jeremy..
Being medical students and all can be stressful
So take some time off..
Act cute a lil..
Somehow attracting more ppl to join in..
Wai Leong oso don wanna miss out in action..
Acting 'chuan' pula
At last they got fed up
And left me alone to camwhore more!

I think i really develop a habit playing wit my cam d la! All these were taken on 08/08/08. Tat day watched the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics! Super high wey! Scream n shout. If only i was in Beijing. Haih~ Oh yea it was Kee Nam bd oso. Had so many pieces of cake tat day! Cham la.. Tambah berat somemore.. Have to start my exercise regime here d la.. Last time practically everyday will hit the courts. Now lembik d. Think if Chiang play wit me sure whack me up side down. Oh well.

Actually i jz came back from Kudat today. Will talk more about that next post. Cos now wanna start opening my books d la. Been lazy like hell. Cham la!! Enuf enuf. Till the next post!
