are you FORGETTING something??

people forget, we all know that. off course we tend to forget things that are not important to us and things that our brain does not recall. for example, remembering dates, or the fact that a familiar face just smiled at you, and even important requests from your girlfriends/boyfriends for a matter of fact. even though we can't help forgetting things it can be a real pain in the ass if it's something important you had to do for another person or even yourself. anyways, i've done my research and here are a few reasons on why people forget.

1. people tend to forget when theie brain is overloaded with things to remember. so if you're a busy bee and have tons of work to do please carry an organiser to jot down things so you'll rmb. and most importantly please rmb to look at the organiser!!!!

2. people who are anxious and depressed tend to forget things easily simply because they're not listening to a thing you have to say. so you smart ass's out there, when your friend is crying, don't go ask her if you can hit on her boyfriend coz she'd probably say yes so that you'll quit bugging her!!

3. people who have physical dissabilities such as blindness and hearing problems. i've got absolutely nothing sarcastic to say to this.

so anyways, my conclusion is if you know you've got a memory problem, please get your ass up and do something about it. saying i forgot is a lame excuse and the impression you would give on another person will most definately be BAD!!

p.s: mrs prasad came to the vet to buy cat food for her cat today.

just for you, my love.

before you i was broken,
and then you came and mended me,
i know i'll never be as secure and strong as i use to be,
but because of you im as strong as i'll ever be,

before you i was in a world of my own,
going with the flow,a stereotype, materialistic and egoistic,
you opened my eyes to the real world,
you showed me that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
you showed me love, so pure, so divine,

thank you for always loving me,
thank you for treating me like a woman,
thank you for believing in me,
and most importantly,thank you for being you,

i know i'll be gone in a month,
but baby even though i'm away you know we're never actually apart,
for there's a strong bond between our hearts,
and bitter sweet memories that will keep us alive until i'm in your arms again.

if you thought getting into uni is a breeze.....think again!!

i seriously don't know where to start. so september last year i got down to business and started my research on universities that offer veterinary science in australia. there were 5 in total and i picked 3, uni melb, uni sydney and murdoch. then IDP education australia had an open day and all the universities were going to be there. application fees were waived so more reason for me to apply then. so, made my appointments and all, and only submitted applications for uni melb and sydney. the representative of murdoch told me to submit my application when the actual results are released. this is the first phase. second phase begun when my results were released. made a photocopy of them and got it certified and sent it in to IDP. second phase was quick and easy but third phase, the process of waiting, is when all the trouble started. universities in aussy were closed for xmas and new yr and their offices only opened on the 4th of jan. so i waited and waited and waited. no reply!!! called IDP many times and they said still no reply. try and imagine my frustration....anyways, so mum and i went to their office and got contact numbers of the people dealing with international student admission in both melb and sydney. this was a friday ok. by the time we got home and called uni melb their office had already closed for the day, and they don't work on weekends. so had to wait for monday. when monday came, at about 7.30 in the morning mum called again. it seems that the bloody IDP hadn't sent my results in. so called them up and asked them why hadnt they sent my results and that idiot was like "oh actually the uni's can access your results online la." im like what shit la, then why did they require a certified photocopy of my results. i pested them for days, called and visited. by the time i got confirmation everybody there knew who i was. ;) anyways then sourced out accomodation, had to go through a phone interview and mail them a registration fee. so accomodation was confirmed. then i went online and cheked uni melb website and found out that orientation was on the 16th of feb. i panicked again!!! i had booked flight for the 21st....oh lord!! i tell you...mum had to call travel agent and he said not to worry he'll settle it. so fine...then dad money hadnt cleared so couldnt pay fee before deadline and can just imagine how pissed off i was. its tue and i havent got my visa done yet. and im leavin in 2 1/2 weeks and next week is chinese new yr. and we all know during chinese new yr the world stops spinning. anyways, im paying up tmr and hopefully my visa will be done before my departure if not i cant board my flight. oh well, phase 4 will begin when im in aussy so i'll be posting after the 15th. so, i guess this is it for now. you know, its true that things you really want in life dont come easy. well i guess its because things that do come easy once you get it you never really appreciate it. give it a thought. its really true and applies to all aspect of life. ttfn!!

death upon a beautiful saturday morning

Death,
an uninvited guest
bringer of great misery and sorrow
on a beautiful saturday morning

Death,
reunites family and friends
consoling hugs and shed tears
on a beautiful saturday morning

Death,
freedom to a soul that suffers
a pure soul that sets out on a journey
to reach HIS grace
on a beautiful saturday morning

ah that saturday morning,
a day of mourning, a day of prayer
clad in black, people came to pay their last respect
never forget it i will
for a person i love took his last breath
that beautiful saturday morning

in loving memory of labis uncle. i'll never forget the moment i've shared with you and all that you've done for me. may your soul rest in peace and find its way to the Lord.
Aum Nama Shivaya.

the art of fainting!!

so, its a brand new yr and i've got nothing to do. mum said to go volunteer at the nearby vet so thát i would gain some experience and knowledge plus that way i won't be lying around complaining i'm bored. so the day before my first day mum called dr. thomas to ask him if i could come hang out at his clininc and see what being a vet is all about. so the next morning i went to the clinic. dr thomas wasnt there yet so i was chatting with dr. cynthia. she's so fun to be with and to talk too. after approximately 15 minutes dr thomas walks in and asks me why i wanted to be a vet. well, i gave the same old ans "because i love animals." he said "most people love animals but that doesnt mean that they're cut out to be vets." oh well, then dr cynthia started her first case, a castration. i was there to view it off course. oh my god!, the ammount of blood that splattered out. gosh....i was hanging in there. the dogs testicles looked like pigeon eggs, or some soughta fish eyeball....well whatever it was, it was disgusting! a juicy piece of info for all the guys. to remove the testicles right, they actually squeezed the dog's balls until the testicle popped out. lolz! human castration would be the same you know. anyways, the sad part was the dog wasn't given enough anaesthesia so he was yelping away. i teared :( so after removing both testicles, dr cynthia was sewing him up. it was such a long process. lets say the average time of a surgery is 15 minutes, the dr spends about 9 minutes sewing up. anyway, so the smell of blood was in the air and my stomach suddenly felt very uncomfortable. my vision was getting blurry and everything in the room started spinning. next thing i know, BANG!!!! i fell down on this metal thing they use to hold drips. "oh my god!! what happened?" cried dr. cynthia. Dr. thomas came rushing in and sprinkled water on my face. then he carried me by my arm and placed me on one of the chairs at his front desk. i tried opening my eyes but the room was still spinning and this made the puking sensation get worse. so i kept my eyes shut and after 5 minutes opened them again. everything was still again. phew....dr. cynthia came out after the op and bought me orange juice to drink. once i was better i went in for the 2nd op of the day, a female dog was gonna have her tiubs tied and ovary removed. thank god i didnt faint this time! i felt much better. wee....I SURVIVED!! so yday i viewed 2 more surgeries. first one, this german shepard had a skin tumour and doc had to remove it, the next was tying of the tiub of a cat. i'm much more comfortable now in the operating theater, so i WON'T BE FAINTING IN 3RD YR VET!! :) anyway ppl, there's an abandoned dalmation in the clinic. 1 yr and 2 months old. owner doesnt want it anymore. anybody who's interested please come buy it. it's only RM400. if the dog doesnt get sold by chinese new yr dr. will have to put it down, because it's taking up space of other sick animals. till my next post!

its the end of one chapter and the beginning of another

wow, one whole year has gone by with a blink of an eye. it was only like yday when i was so thrilled tht i had got into college and was starting a new chapter of my life and here i am one year later doing the same thing. 18 yrs of my life flew by just like that. year 2005 was an experience like no other. college life was a rollercoaster ride on its own but you know wht, i don't regret one bit of it. i've been exposed to so many different type of people in college itself, i can only imagine the kind off people in the real world. scary thought, i know. but the most important thing is to know yourself and be focused. it's not all about the studies, it's about gaining experience through exposure. but yeah you gotta be focused too! it was really fun just hanging out with fren's and mastering the art of people watching. loved watching all the interesting clothes people would come in. i mean some are nice but some are just so weird. oh ya and need i remind ya'll about the celebrity wannabe's. jay sean, jay chao, kelly rowlands....;) lolz! i admit looking good is a MUST in college. but sometimes there are ugly days, where you put on a big ass shirt and jeans and sneakers. hairs in a mess and all...lolz! but anyway, this year was a blast! and for those of you who were part of it, especially the G8érs and prakash and the bus gang, thank you so much for this memorable year. ttfn!
