New Laptop and contact lense

Morning: Had Biology 4 and Biology 5 exams. Strictly speaking it was easy. After the exams, I went to One Utama to buy some personal things for later use in Indonesia. I'm just afraid that the things I need to use will not be available in Indonesia.

In the evening, I went to one of my high school friend, Jo Shua' house. It was about 10 pm when I reached there. Hopefully I didn't disturb him because he was playing game: Pirate King. The game looks nice. As he said, I should play that once I settle everything down. Anyway, sincerely, I really do miss all my high school friends.

If can, I want each day of my days in Malaysia to be memorable days. Oh yeah, and how can I forget about this one. I got my new laptop today. It was kinda cool with white keyboard and black colour beside the screen. I appreciate it. Thank you so much daddy. I will make full use of this cool laptop by playing games. Just kidding.

Not to forget, today is the first time using contact lense. It took me about 35 minutes to get the lense in. Pheww. Feel a bit uncomfortable. After a while, I have used to it. Hopefully tomorrow will not have tough time to insert the lense.

Time to sleep now. Tomorrow I might be going to Kuala Lumpur to settle all the documents needed. Adios ^.^

Last 2 weeks in Malaysia

Well, the title says it all. My last 2 weeks in Malaysia. I have mixed feelings in myself. Sad, nervous, worried, and others as well. It's hard to say. I just hope that the condition in my new university will be fine. For sure I am going to miss all the sweet memories I have had in Malaysia. This will be one of the last posts that I'm gonna post.

So much preparation to be done. Documents that need to be certified, personal things, bags, books, laptop, and etc etc. Gosh. So many things to do. At the same time, I 'm feeling empty. There will be long gap of days before I can meet my family and friends back. Arghh. So sad to leave all of you. I'm so used to all the affection, love, caring. When I reach Indonesia, I ll have to face it all independently. I don't like to be alone. :'( Hopefully there will be supportive friends over there. :'(

I'm still not firm enough about my decision tough. My dad says you can still retreat as long we haven't pay the lump sum of money. I'm not sure. I don't know. I'm not sure whether I can face the hectic and challenging life as a doctor, the reality that involves human lives, decision-making, and the scarriest phrase that I hope I won't say this out "I should have done ........to revive that patient"...Oh Goshh. Honestly, I am afraid of failures. Failures, stay the hell away from me. Do not ever approach me in anyways and I' ll make sure that you don't come near me.

Offer letter from UniBraw

Today I received the offer letter from UniBraw. Ouch! I don't want it to reach this early. It makes me feel guilty. I might not be able to pass my A levels and all the money will be gone! This is what I don't like about confirming the seat that hasn't been confirmed by me. We need to come up with lump sum of up front money. If I can't make it, it will be such a waste.

Everyone told me to be confident with myself but the fact is they have not even taken this Edexcel London exam board for A levels. It is the toughest among all the exam board and it's only mend for students who are going to pursue their studies in U.K. Argh!

Challenges in studies leads to frusfration. Frusfration leads emotional imbalance . The moment I'm in this state, I ll suffocate. I might go crazy. It's such a hard and tough transition period.
