Woof!
27 April 2005How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the waggely tail.
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that doggy’s for sale
Don’t you ever wonder whether the dog was bought in the end? And more importantly, whether he had a truly good home?
How many people out there actually buy pets on […]
Happy? Sad? Disappointed? Excited? I don’t know
22 April 2005What does it mean when a person gets what she wants? How is she supposed to feel? Of course she’s supposed to be happy right? Yesterday, I got something I wanted very much… but I’m not happy. I’m not happy not because I’m not satisfied, I’m not happy because while I get what I wanted, […]
QYs
3 April 2005Spent most of the weekend talking … talking … having conversations that I call quality-yaks (QY), conversations that happen when friends sit together and they are not gossiping or bitching away.
QYs only happen between people who trust each other enough to tell serious stuff, among people who feel that the other can understand what they […]
Hormonal Problems
31 March 2005So I’m a female, so my hormones kick up a huge storm now and then but now… ALL the hormones are kicking up a big fuss.
Endocrine ICA is just around the corner (well, it’s on Friday aka tomorrow) and I’m not prepared yet. In fact, it still feels as if sem 4 just started! To […]
Smokin’ Ladies
28 January 2005In one of Aunty Lilian’s recent posts, she said that it is different when men and women smoke. This is actually more appropriate as a comment on Aunty Lilian’s blog, but it will be too long to fit into one comment, so well, why not have it here.
Initially, I quoted her entire post here, but […]
For money? Are you sure?
26 January 2005First read about this in MMR and then went to the NST article Palmdoc linked. I remember asking some M2/04 juniors why they choose to do medicine and there were some who said they were attracted by the money. Those of us who were there thought it was pretty amusing and I think we even […]
2004 In Retrospect
1 January 2005Now that it’s 1st Jan 2005, I guess it is time to look back at what happened in the past year… To say that 2004 was an eventful year for me is truly an understatement. I won’t go through each and every major incident in the year, some of it is still too painful to […]
The Other Side
25 November 2004In one of the many many workshops we were forced to attend in secondary school, someone said “It takes 15 minutes to give someone a first impression of yourself, but a lifetime to change it” It seems unfair, doesn’t it? A short while and someone has already formed an impression of you… but hey, isn’t […]
Speak your mind… or not
7 November 2004Recently, Hanyi started a thread in the forum “Ever been afraid to blog about anything?” This topic was also on my mind when I spoke to someone last night, and I figured that this is a pretty good topic to be blogging on. :)
Long time ago, my posts were straight, to the point and I’ll […]
The New Law Enforcement Officers
6 November 2004Ex-gangsters to enforce laws
BY IAN MCINTYRE
KANGAR: Village bullies and former gangsters may be roped in to beef up the municipal council’s enforcement unit, said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.
However, they must not have a criminal record.
He said he was dismayed with the lax enforcement that has allowed the rise in a […]
Poverty
5 November 2004After watching the documentary on parasite infections this morning, it suddenly dawn upon me that poverty is really very scary. I really cannot imagine living my life in the conditions I saw on the video tape. By poor and poverty, I don’t mean a situation where you cannot afford your dream car, dream house or […]
Mind Your Language
7 October 2004In the past, all written works that get to the masses are done by professionals. However, because of the internet, more and more laypeople get their written work seen by the public. Unlike the pros, we laypeople don’t have as wonderful language skills and don’t watch our grammar and spelling and punctuations and the likes […]
