Not So Fatal Wonderings/Wanderings

I have no idea why the heck i hung up a medical poster on liver diseases my dad brought back directly facing my bed. Too lazy to bawa turun now.

Fatal Wonderings/Wanderings (whichever applies)

I am more likely to unwind a paper clip than to use it to group papers.

I am now voluntary reviewer of the Student British Medical Journal and hopefully in the very near future, contributor.

I enter PAS Country on Thursday.

I have just bought a Bilingual English-Malay Dictionary from Kinokuniya after discovering my Bahasa is now in the drain after attempting to translate AIDS council reports into Bahasa for the Ministry of Health.

I will soon have to start a Save Kong's Bahasa's Decline which could very well lead to Malaysian Patients Miscommunication in the Future.

Longing for LionPura

I am jealous of my relative.

Thus, I will now plan a trip (most probably solo for solo trips are the BEST!!!) or with 1 or 2 friends to Lionpura, land where the there is a legend that politicians are smart and everything is cultured and intellectual.

I will first make my way through the Singapore Art Museum, where my relative once stood to The Science Museum and then all the intellectual spaces and galleries.

I want to revisit Fort Canning (betulkah nama ini??) in Sentosa, where once bored adults pulled me away and away and take a leisurely stroll through the thick and musty history. I want to experience everything Singaporean and then visit the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in the National University of Singapore (where once a favourite Tun once studied) to explore and collect prospectuses.

I will then partake in culinary delights of Singapore and then visit Lee Mei, the one who gave me a Singapore postcard.

Such excitement. And it will be completely without plan or itinery. To go with the flow.

There that's what I call an adventure in the making.

Any takers?

Fear: Masa Susah III

In a matter of 2 days, two of my friend's blogs have closed down.

This is due to restrictions placed on them.

You cannot blog so as to not marr the image of your institution.

I now fear for this blog as well.

How long before someone says "eh ur blog doesnt reflect our ideals la . Delete ur posts.

I mean to take for example, how will my patients see me if they know I created with pride the Most Peculiar IMAGINARY Advisory Council of Chiayewnian Doctors.

I foresee censure. May it be merciful.

That day will come, I can feel it.

These truly are masa susah.

Pop Non Fiction 2: The Disturbing Incident of the Senescent Leaves on the highway


Yesterday, something horribly weird happened while I was cruising down the highway, at night.

It was the KL-Seremban highway. The highway floor was scattered with dried leaves.

Why did the trees show a very marked increase senescence of their leaves?

Something clearly has got it's knickers in a twist.

On the way back from Redang on the bus, The 2 hour long Daniel-Chia Yew orations took place.

In it something was spelt out quite in tandem in with this senescence.

Truly these are masa susah.

Masa Susah II

It's official. All the A2 papers I sat for in 2009 had a Stretch and Challenge provision, introduced due to political intervention in the UK after politicians (seemingly out of touch with what is being taught in schools like Muhyiddin over here) thought the papers were being dumbed down along with the students.

I found on a Cambridge International Examinations website, a report which coincides perfectly with when the most marked change happened. Our Mathematics Paper 3 went all awry and tedious, naturally putting me, a person who s very careless with numbers (they appear randomly and disappear in my maths papers). Other papers that did not cast as much worry in me but a lot to others were Paper 4 Chem, Paper 4 Physics ... basically all A2 papers.

This is from the report:

All new A levels also incorporated a new 'stretch and challenge' dimension, offering the highest-achieving candidates greater scope to demonstrate the breadth and depth of their understanding of the subject, which will lead to the award of a new A* grade from 2010

You know amazingly, we in Malaysia get affected by UK politicking as well.

This post reminds me of the post I did last time which was the first omen to Cambridge's coming-of-age. In it i metaphored Cambridge as now an adolescent girl, hot and sexy, evolved quite weirdly from being a nerdy boy.
Who knew it was the UK Gov. behind such a transformation.



These are masa susah. Our results are due in a month. I dare not look at my Maths grade when it downloads on my screen :P :P...

Truly, these are masa susah

Formation of The MPIACCD

has been formed. It is an imaginary council formed in the deep crevices of the Chiayewnian Mind.

It is to be composed of the members:

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad, Honorary Member.
Dr Thiha, the one with the viva
Dato' Dr Tan hui Meng
Tan Sri Dr Yahya Awang
Tan Sri Dr Abu Bakar Suleiman
Dr Victor KE Lim
A. Professor Lim Boon Kiong
A. Professor Chin Ai-Vern
A. Professor Chin Kim Fah
Professor Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman
Dato' Dr Jemilah Mahmood


The list will add on. The members, collectively known as The Council shall meet as and when Kong Chia Yew permits and calls upon them. The terms of discussion are to be set by Kong Chia Yew as well, to be referred to as Him, He and His now...:P

They will advise Kong Chia Yew on matters and business regarding medicine and the optimizing of decisions involving career and education matters. In a higher context, they will provide Him with inspiration and drive to go to ever greater heights.

Requests to resign from the Council are strictly prohibited.

I have now completed my office boy-arranging files stint at Malaysian AIDS Council. My job is now akin to a micro-internship in Public Health Medicine

and that has been eliminated from my Potential Medical Specialisation List as well as Orthopaedics as said before.

Too tedious and nauseating.. :P
