Ok...today's the day....& is also the day i've decided NEVER EVER will i take forensic science!!! Ok....now i noe...i'm not scared at all looking at dead bodies...neither i'm scared looking at them doing autopsy on a dead body...but the thing is....ITS TOO DAMN HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although i really appreciate God for giving me such a chance....& i really do appreciate the experience i had for today....yet it really never cross my mind that it can be THAT gross!!! Imagine this...those guys cut the skin of the chest...pull them apart...or ought i say...TEAR them apart...=.=" then...use a BIG + long...& i really mean big...looks kind of like parang...then start sawing the tulang rusuk (ok..this is 1 of the worst parts) After they've finished removing the section of tulang rusuk....then they'll start cutting the organs & take them out for inspection to see what's the cause of the victim's death....after inspection...they'll DUMP the organs back into the body!!!!! EUW!!!! That's the WORST part...!!!! ARGH!!! Really cant imagine how can i still stand there & watch the whole process...aiks!!! =S
So...i've decided...no matter how bad....NO WAY i'm gonna take forensic science even if i was forced to!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God's Boxes
I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
We should consider all of our friends a blessing.
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.
But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,

Poem
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race.
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram miss," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day.
Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

Conclusion on my studies...
Today is the day that finally the truth of how much effort i've put into my studies come out. I actually aimed for straight 11A's...yet the truth came that i only got 10A's & 1B...sigh...guess my laziness & lack of concentration when studying got over me & this is what i get for my SPM results. When i first got my result slip...i was real disappointed with what i got no matter how hard i've worked...i was even more sad when i know i've let my parents down as they've put high hopes on me...even cried in the car & shocked both of them...Yet after what my sister told & advised me about...i accepted that wat was done has been done..there's no more turning back & certainly no more 2nd chance...so what i've to do starting now is that i work twice as harder...put my every concentration on my studies...so that i'll be able to score good results in STPM to enable me to have more choices no matter getting in local or overseas Universities (preferrably Malayan University..it has the best medicine course anyway)...tat surely hav to wait until 2yrs after when i've finished F6...
Actually i've been cracking my head a long time thinking that whether i should study in F6 or Taylor's College...& yesterday after discussing with my parents...they concluded that its better that i choose F6 since i still need time to get more matured in my thinking & certainly strengthen my foundation considering my academics are always not steady...Well...to think of it...even though F6 really eats up time...but the advantages stand out more than if i were to study in colleges...with my characteristics i'll probably freak out if i were to handle any problem on studies alone beyond my hometown...
No matter how tough its gonna be in F6...i'm gonna go thru it & break thru STPM with fabulous results...NO MATTER WHAT!!! & i'll surely keep on to my promise that there'll be no more relationship stuff for me for the next few yrs until after i've finished my studies..so that'll mean many yrs after....hehe...but that'll only can help me in achieving mine & my parents dream...CHEERS TO F6!!!

Trip to Mount Kinabalu
Jz got back from a 4days-3nights trip from Kota Kinabalu. It was actually a rush plan of my mum...hehe...jz booked everything 1 week ago & then we're off =P Our main motive to Kinabalu is actually to climb & conquer the highest mountain in South East Asia===> Mount Kinabalu. And to tell the truth...we actually succeeded...3 of us (me & my parents) YAY!!!
Well...this climbing trip is quite tiring actually...yet our efforts really paid off with the beautiful scenery of the whole mountain...man! I really am reluctant to leave that beautiful place in such short time. If there's a chance once more...i'll surely hope that i can get back there & visit my mountain guide friends. Even though we've known each other for a REALLY short time...yet they really marked something deep in my heart already.
Ok..to start with out trip...After a 2hrs & 15mins flight from KLIA to Kinabalu International Airport (KBA)...we were picked up by the tourism agency there (Popular Express). We were taken to have nyonya food at a restaurant near the town centre. After lunch, we were then driven to the Kinabalu Park Headquarters where we had one night stay there before getting off to climb the mountain next day. Had nice dinner at the Luwagi Restaurant..YUMMY!! =D
Next morning, we woke up at 5.30am...washed up, had breakfast, get ready with our climbing permit & mountain guide...then we're off to the foothill. We started climbing from there at 8.30am. That particular day, there's lots of people who's climbing also...so its kinda packed..but those doesn't matter with our climbing. On our way climbing up, we can see there's lots of beautiful orchids & pitcher plants that seldom can be seen in lowlands such as Perak here. My dad who's crazy over flowers managed to keep flashing his camera around to capture those amazing flowers. We got caught once in a 10mins drizzle on the way up yet we managed to reach the halfway resthouse (Laban Rata resthouse) in 6hrs in climbing this 6km route. We were DAMN tired by then so after having dinner around 6 we plopped down on our beds to have a good sleep before waking up next morning 1.30am for the climb to the summit.
We actually didn't have much sleep since my mum had a fast heartbeat while my dad with high fever due to high altitude sickness. Fortunately both of them healed & thus we continued on with our journey. We woke up at 1.30am, washed up, had breakfast & started our climb at 2.30am. This time's climbing really tried us out as it's the toughest climb ever. We're actually like rock climbing coz we had to walk on a small path up the whole cliff of rocks. There's no more trees around at such high place. One lost of footstep will cause the person to end up over the cliff & down in the valley with broken bones. We had to walk in the dark so that we can catch the 1st glimpse of sunrise from the top of Mount Kinabalu. After 4hrs of "fantastic" rock walking (hehe=P), we finally reached the summit despite our short legs compared to those Euro's long legs. The whole summit was packed with people from diff races & countries. According to our mountain guide, seems that that morning there's bout 160 sth ppl. MAN!! Imagine that!! So it's not surprising that we've to wait for our turn to take photos there. But the sunrise is really gorgeous!!! I cant forget it ever...it was too amazing for words...
We took time photographing before heading back to Laban Rata. There's lots of other peaks besides the one we've jz climbed which is the Low's Peak. There's Tunku Abdul Rahman Peak, St.John's Peak, Donkey's Ears Peak, South Peak & Ugly Sisters Peak. Since its a difficult way getting down, our mountain guide asked one of his fren to take care of me while he helped my mum getting down. Well..speaking of his fren..ok..he's not TAT handsome..but he's kinda cute la...hehe=P (Gosh!! I'm crazy over tanned skin orang asli..oh no!!) We chatted along the way & keep assuring me not to be too scared. He even suggested that i go Sabah for studies next time so he can visit me sometimes (embarrassing ;P ) On the way down..we met another mountain guide who's his fren oso. MAN!!! He's even more cute!! =P Unbelieving...tat guy's waiting STPM results at the moment la...he's so YOUNG!!! Cant believe he can be tat good at climbing mountains....really put me to shame =S
Ok...forgot bout nonsense..hehe=P After reaching the Laban Rata resthouse after 2hrs...i waited for my parents at the restaurant. After that, we rested awhile..packed up..& continued our climb back down to the foothill. We used 4hrs to get back to where we started & it was a real relief. On the way down, i even challenged some KL boys..hehe=P They were really "kiasu" guys la!! Imagine me who's a lazy bum who seldom goes for hiking can manage to beat them flat even though i was walking while admiring the sceneries -.-" LOSERS!!!
Sigh...it was really a tiring trip..yet i really appreciate the chance i have to conquer this mountain at such young age & oso the sceneries really fascinated me...however i really missed the frenly guys there...Really hope that one day i'll be able to go back there to visit them...or even better get a scuba diving license so i can get to Sipadan Island to explore the underwater world =D
