I can’t count the number of times i’ve been asked the same question over and over again by different people just before i started my final year in medicine until now.

So, how does it feel to be in final year ?

Honestly, i have no proper answer for the question above because it comes with a mixed sense of feelings and other questions. I really have mixed feelings being in my final year, completely different from what i thought i would feel when i was in my prior years. It’s a plethora of emotions between happiness and sadness. Happy for I’ll be completing one vital phase of my life and moving into another phase which hold a different form of adventure and outlook. Sad because i’ll be departing with the people i’ve been closest to in these 6 wonderful years. It can’t be compared with school days where you only meet your buddies for approx 5-6 hours a day unlike here in a hostel where everybody lives under one roof and the get-togethers,  partying, chatting over coffee till wee hours of the morning, watching snow fall in the calm silence of the night. All these will vanish in one single day of departure. Some people will be around for a while back at home and some, we will never meet again.

True to say that our era of communication has made the world a smaller place but then again that’s just a mere consoling phrase. Time as it is known to do..changes everything..people and their attitudes. In the end, all that is left are silver strands of memories while you flip through albums of yester-years and reflect the good old laughter which may still be heard inside.

I’m not confused, just learning to adapt to reality inch by inch.

I really have mixed feelings being in my final year, completely different from what i thought i would feel when i was in my prior years. It’s a maze of emotions between happiness and sadness.

You’ve noticed the length of time between this entry and the previous. This time i would blame it on the internet connection and not my laziness. Just above a month ago, we had our internet disconnected without any prior warnings and for a span of more than 3 weeks there was no re-wiring works being done. Some contract breach had this problem running and finally it’s back but not at promised speed.

Although at poor browsing and downloading speeds as compared with the previous ISP,the first day saw a massive (for me with such a connection) speed hike when i checked up at speedtest.net.

With a whooping 37.09mbps i immediately resumed my snail-speed downloading tv shows and got them in by seconds. Got in a couple of other stuff as well. Unfortunately, this speed never lasted as much as i wanted it to. This is what i’m currently crawling on :

With the current amount of downtime and disconnection rates, our Malaysian streamyx can still take the lead afterall.

I’m a sucker when it comes to small gadgets. Miniature stuff fascinates me for God-knows what reason but then again it’s not always that i like everything small..some things are better off big, round and bubbly and… oohh i mean not everything small. Anyway the first time i came across it, i just fell for the design. I’m talking about my new HP Mini 1000 series. It was more a piece of art and this isn’t my own opinion but many others who’ve came across it. With so much of hype about netbooks in the market, i thought of getting my hands on one and giving it a little experimentation.

Calm yet sophisticated

One of my craze once again. The moment i saw it i knew i had to have it. Call me a spoilt brat but ask any other enthusiast or a hobbyist like me and they will say it’s pure passion. In my case i’m quenching the thirst of my childhood passion.  I’ve always loved remote controlled toys but only had one single car when i was 11 years old after i was promised to receive it as a gift if i would be top 3 in my class then. Anyway that time i was so crazy for it that I emerged the First student and of course the R/C car was definitely coming !!  This exact image many years back made me smile when i saw this baby in front of my eyes last year on my way to Moscow during my 5 hour Dubai transit.

I’ve been looking for this particular sized scaled at 1:10 which in my opinion is rare because I've been searching all around KL and the closest i found was 1:12. Even better, this was an official product signed by the company hologram. What else more man ? That’s it ! Anyway i decided to purchase it on my way home this year which is what i did. Managed to find it again and with careful inspection i made my choice. As a bonus, they included a Mini version of an Enzo F60 R/C as well.The price ? was a BARGAIN.

 

I played it a couple of times but my intentions are to keep it as a display piece because that’s what it is. There’s nothing much to say about this gorgeous beauty, like said ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ so serve yourselves with some macro shots i took just to show you how beautiful this piece of model is.
