Return of the Indolent Syndrome

This week has been pretty hellish for me, especially since Thursday and so, have been really lazy lately to blogg.. quite a long time since I take more than 1 week for every subsequent post. Really busy and the beginning of repro system hasn't been all too kind either. CSU 1 on the first day and some real nasty bombing by some weirdo CSU guy, whose hair is Taylorish gray... and strangely with features of pseudoacromegalic syndrome... IT was the worst history taking ever in the history of IMU. Even if Francis was there, I would be more comfortable. ALL of us in the room don't even know a theeny weeny thing about repro and there you go... this ass sitting there asking us to do a proper history, ask more relevant questions on endometriosis and blah blah blah.... we were like HUH?? Wat?

So picture the scenario, after a few questions.....dead silence...and then ask again...then stuck...then wait a few minutes (which seems like an eternity). All this, for an agonising one and a half hours. Looks like SRC needs to smite that, whoever it is, SEM 4 REPRO COORDINATOR to do a proper schedule for IMU students. (FOR ALL YOU NEW SRC COMMITEE MEMBERS, DO YOUR FREAKING JOB PROPERLY.....!!!)

Tuesday was another heavy day. First thing in the morning, we had to go all the way to Pajam, some strange, never heard before clinic, which happens to be a rather old, wooden Klinik Desa, single storey but fortunately a very well maintained clinic thanks to two very amazing nurses. We left IMU at about 7.40, reach there about 8.15. Honestly, this clinic visit wasn't all too bad, but my energy levels on that day was somewhere between the yellow and red bar. Despite this, manage to assess Hb Levels, abdominal palpation, learn something on clerking, listening for fetal heart sounds, and a very good briefing session by the senior nurse in charge on antenatal care, post natal care and vaccination. I think by far, the most fruitful and productive clinic visit in IMU history. AND THE AMAZING THING WAS, WE DID NOT EVEN TAKE A BREAK IN BETWEEN, no teh tarik at 10 in the morning(which is common practice in all the other previous clinic visits.) and practically every minute was well spend doing something there or probably listening to something all the way until about 12.00pm.

Thank God Wednesday, was a rest day for me. Just the usual two lectures at 4.15 and Thursday was also the same but the adventure began after that. Had to go to some place in Damansara. For those who don't know the area, it is somewhere around IKEA and 1 utama. And Damansara wasn't even specific enough to tell me where I was actually going on that day. Fortunately Coleen did a pretty good job telling where the address is. And with a little trial and error, manage to find this obscure place call Damansara Perdana. When I reach there, it was like....shit...this is a new area. Where the heck is this place? AND THERE WERE SO MANY CONDOS. And I had to find hers among the maze of shophouses and other condos... Finally, to cut a long story short, manage to find her place and the meeting place of the Wicked Pitches. It was a long night and with a lot of lengthy discussion stretching until about 11+ . Then, drove back home and it was already 12. After that, it was snacks and sleep.

Friday, was ok actually. And CSS members manage to meet up with some missionaries who were on a pit stop in KL. It was pretty interesting to hear how these very young American people decided to walk the life of a missionary and relate their experiences since they started. One of them was even a former drug addict, came from a pretty screwed up Catholic family and was some high school dropout, but God called him to be a missionary. One dropped out of school and entered the seminary but after two years in there, God told him, " Look kid, this is not the place for you." and so he left and he begin his journey as a missionary, bringing him to mental hospitals, many places around the world and also many Catholics, who don't have a good grasp about their faith.. So actually these missionaries are on foreign missions. A few Fillipinos, among their group were actually on their first foreign mission trip.

At night, it was the 8th Chinese Singing Competition. The guy emcee was a bit syok sendiri and lame, but the overall performance was not bad. IT was sooooooooooo funny.... to see the trio of Stephen, Ding and Chun Peng together. I was like laughing my heads off seeing them together. There were wearing something similar to the KFC uniform but with two straps from the shoulder to their belt. And Stephen's strap snapped so it made him look like he had a tail..... LOL. And it happened before they started singing, so while there were moving about and dancing, it looked like Stephen was waggin' his "tail".HAHA...After their performance, the whole audi trembled like HOWWWWWAAAAARRRRRAAWWAAAAAA!!!! with everybody cheering for them. A truly entertaining, humorous and funny bunch which led them to not one but TWO awards for the day.....Best Group and Most Popular Award. Our second trio group also did quite well. Again, there were lots of cheers from the crowd.

Solo performance by my standards were mediocre but the pharmacy girl was good vocally and the Jay Chou impersonator was soooo terrible.... I dunno whether he was trying to be like Jay or himself. He now takes over as the worst hairdo ever, Chia ling came up with that..HIFI MAN.. It was sooo bad it looked like he had a janggut from the back....I dunno whether he was dyeing his hair with both eyes close ..... or wat? And he can't even come close to singing Jay Chou song, ok maybe the rapping part, but it was sooooo muffled, I think Jay Chou would cry seeing this.....SOB SOB. WHAT A DISGRACE... I don't understand how could he have won the 3rd price for solo performance, maybe because of his unique style and performance. 2nd price boy did quite well.. he did quite well on the teresa teng song. His singing was also quite good. BUT SEM5s have to choooose better songs to sing. I think Shawn has so much potential, but he chose a crap song so you can't really assess his vocal prowess....

Saturday was also an extremely long day. IT started early but ended early. Luckily I took an early nap. HAd to play for church so when I reach church it was already too late to find a place to park my car and why?? Father OC's mother's funeral. It drew quite a number of people. There were like 20 priests, 2 bishops and 1 archbishop there. IT was a pretty big thing. IT even came out in the newspaper... If you see it, its this big picture of an aunty with sunglasses. AHAAA... and she passes away at 89 yrs of age. So when I reached the cabin, only Patrick and Jeff was there, I thought am I way too early or is it only three of us?? Elaine came later and it was a mass of nice slow music but the last hymn was fast..."King of MAjesty" And for the first time, I cantored today in LifeTeen mass...wwooooohoooooooooo. BUt I think some of us were a bit soft, but anywayz hopefully next week, it's gonna be drums, bass, additional vocals, guitar(me) and nice music.

And Sheena's back here.....YEAH!!!! Spotted her in a black shirt, with a new pair of black glasses at mass. It was nice to see here again after so long. And from what I've heard she missed KL a lot, not because KL is happening but her buddies are all here. So she has one more week here before leaving for Miri.... C u around!!
