Blessed Christmas!

Ah Beng in the Lord’s army

Ah Beng was backsliding for a while but he finally returned to church after a long absence. On his way out, his Pastor asked him...

"Ah Beng, are you in the Lord’s army?"

Ah Beng promptly replied, "Yes Pastor, I have always been in the Lord’s army."

Then the pastor said, "But I noticed you come to church only during Christmas and Easter? How can that be considered being in the Lord’s army?

Ah Beng looked worried for a moment and thought deeply how to answer his Pastor. After a while, he began to smile and replied his pastor," Aaaaiyaahh Pastor, I am in the Lord’s Secret Service mah..."

Wishing you a great and amazing year in 2006! That you'll have..
Great health

Great appetite (well.. that's where your energy comes from right?)

Great and loving relationship with your family and loved ones

Find your soulmate if you are single

Or get married soon if you'd already found yours

If you are a guy, wish that you increase in intelligence and macho-ness

If you are a girl, wish that you become more beautiful, talented and charming

And that you'd grow spiritually, mentally and physically (if you still have your growth spurt lar) in whatever ways you can

And most of all, wishing you exceeding joy, great miracles and blessings overflowing every second of the day!

My story about a boy

This is Enoch. On this day, he is 14 years, 11 months and 23 days old.



Born in 1990 on the New Year's Eve in Kuala Lumpur to Dr and Mrs Loh.



Started kindergarten at the age of 4 years and 2 days old. Know why he doesn't show his teeth when he smile? Ahahahaa. That's for you to go ask him. I can only tell you that something happened when he was 2 years old.



By age 9, he'd crossed the deserts of Egypt, seen its pyramids and posed with the nose-less Great Sphinx.



... Rode a camel and climbed up Mount Sinai (Camel not really camera-friendly.. so no pic with the camel. Sorry.)


And by 10, experienced few weeks of fast-paced life in Hong Kong and winter snow in Beijing. Of course, conquered the Great Wall of China! Well... not all of it.



Was determined even at a young age to be a great businessman just like his daddy.



So he studied...



And he studied really hard..



And he studied... EVEN harder.



Can see that he "studied" so much hor.. But guess what wor?



Fuiyoh.. Way to go man! This dude iS my brother! *Bangga*

Me, myself and my work!

Yes, you read THAT right! To those who knew me from way back then (like Trnjit, Zuhaili, SuetWan, Keren, King, etc.), you guys probably can't imagine me WORKING right? Hahahaa. I also couldn't imagine myself working right up to the second day of my training! Did a lot of observing and asking questions on my first 2 days. Only started doing work (i.e. blood analysis) on the third day.

Anyway, I'd just started my industrial training at Assunta Hospital laboratory. The industrial training is compulsory for all Monash's Biomedical Science students, so being a Biotech-Biomedical student, I had no choice. Having said that, it doesn't imply that I don't like working or that I was forced unwillingly like a big stubborn spoiled baby to do something I didn't like. It's just that I have not work before. So this experience is entirely new to me and the atmosphere definitely felt foreign initially. Even though I don't get paid, at least I'm learning a lot and doing something useful instead of lazing around at home (and end up getting fatter and flatter bum at the end of the holidays).

It was a good thing that I didn't give up my spot in Assunta though. Very convenient for me. The drive from my house to Assunta (and vice versa) is approximately 20-25 minutes, and most days there's no traffic congestion. Just imagine if I was assigned to Sunway Medical Centre (SMC), it would probably take 40-50 minutes from my area, with added bonus of that "fantastic" mourning morning traffic at the Sunway Toll. Hey Suzan! Since your workplace is so near mine, come we go out eat lunch together one day! Hahahaa. Assunta's cafeteria food not so bad ehh.

(In reply to Madhulika @ KingKong) My working hours are from 8.30am to 5pm, and I work from Monday to Friday every week. I'm not so sure about SMC though cuz from what I heard from the first batch, they only started at 12pm, that is on the first day of course. And apparently they don't get hands-on work. But I'm not definitely sure. Maybe you could call SMC the day before you are to report to ask them for your reporting time and place. My supervisors are pretty nice and friendly people.. approachable, ready to teach and answer your questions. Some will teach you as much as they can. Some are less willing to teach and these are the ones you have to take real initiative to bombard them with questions. What do I want from India hmmmm.. I seriously dunno. Anything would do, really ;-) Can't wait to see all of you guys soon! Missing your company already!

Well, this has been a report on my first 2 weeks of work. Will come back to you at the end of my 8 weeks of training with a full, detailed report. Signing out!

Summer holidays!

Things I've done during the first month of my summer holidays:
1) Shop, shop, SHOP! Hahaa. Great remedy for me!
2) Went back to Sibu for 3 days to visit my grandma, uncle and aunties there.
3) Cut off my long locks.. thought it was really getting too long and tangled up. Now it's shoulder length after 4 years! Hahahaa. Probably will keep it this short. Easy to manage.
4) Started my industrial attachment (training) in Assunta Hospital.. will be there for 2 months until 31st Jan. Currently assigned to Blood Bank Unit, where they analyze blood samples and donor-patient compatibility. Got to analyze my own blood. Definite O positive. After 2 weeks, God knows what unit I'll be headed to.
5) Watched Chicken Little - My rating: Not good enough for B, but too funny to be rated B-.. so how? Beh yao kin lah.
6) Watched Harry Potter and the Globlet of Fire - My rating: B to B+ region. Can tell that too many details were left out in the movie, even though I did not read the book. The Prisoner of Azkaban is still my fave (so far have only read one HP novel.. which is Prisoner of Azkaban of course!) Next movie: Chronicles of Narnia!!!
7) Read 2 Dan Brown novels - Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons. One I like, one really failed to capture my interest. Guess which is which eh? Will tell you in later entries, with my comments and reasons.

Got this survey off Elaine's blog. Long time me no blog. For what reasons? Hooked on my pc games. Probably sick of typing and typing and typing during on-going semester. No ideas on what to write.. WELL.. maybe not. I have many ideas on what to write, just can't get myself to start typing. Hah, classic example of procrastination. Need to get rid of that.
