My life mission??

Saw this test while reading a friend's blog and gave it a try to find out what is my 'life mission'...





You Are the Leader



You are inspiring and uplifting. You bring out the best in people, through both nurturing and challenging them.

You always can see the big picture in life. You are very philosophical and deeply spiritual.



You understand people, and you can look at their lives objectively. You can help others grow and heal.

People feel comforted by your presence. You help them gain perspective on their lives.



Well, i think my life mission is to be a happy person and spread my joy like an epidemic!

Keep smiling~

Just read an email which was sent by a course mate regarding academic stuff. At the end of the mail she wrote 'keep smiling' before putting down her name. It is nice to see positivity in ppl during exam time. It just makes me feel more positive as well.

Anyway, Soya Mean also said sth to me yesterday which left me inspired and impressed!

"Don't let the fear for failure overwhelms you."

Disk checking

Recently my 6-year-old laptop behaves like a naughty kid by freezing the screen when its cpu is slightly exerted. And i always have to re-start it and then i will have to wait for few mins to run the system disk checking. I am not a pc person so i dun really know wat is the importance of running this check but from wat i understand is that it will fix the prob of the hardisk. So i suppose it is sth good for my laptop and i always run this check without hesitation.

Speaking about laptop and its cpu, i still rmb i was once described as a cpu processor by a friend when i was just came to Cardiff, because he thought that my mind did a lot of thinking before making a decision or executing an action, which is a bit like a cpu which is processing the data while the software is being run.

So just like my laptop, i had a few disk checking sessions (self-reflection) recently:

Disk checking #1: I am very much indebted to my papa n mama.
I am now doing a clinical placement on child health placement. I do not have a particular interest in this field but i kinda enjoy this placement because it gives me a chance to know a lil bit more about child's development. I saw children from different age grps and different social backgrounds, who suffered from different diseases. However, there is 1 thing that does not vary very much despite all the above differences: the love from the parents for their children.

I can still remember when i was sick as a child, i often kena marah by my mama but then she would provide the best care in the world for me until I recovered. Both my parents did their best to teach me all the skills that i need to know to be an adult. Even if i made a mistake or hurt them, forgiveness was the only thing i had from them. Just like wat i saw in the clinics, no matter how much of havoc the children wreaked, their parents always did their best to tolerate and clean the mess. i think most of us wun realise how great our parents are until we have our own children. And being a medical student, i had the opportunity to realise this at an early stage.

Disk check #2: My temper is kinda bad nowadays.

My temper hasn't been very good these few days. Perhaps I am too tired due to my placement and revision but i think i should not allow myself to lose my temper just because i am not on my top form. And the only person who suffers from this is my gf. I feel very sorry for this as i can tell that she can no longer see her bf being a tolerant and understanding person.

So wat can i do? Try to improve my EQ lvl and try not to give myself any excuses for being hot-tempered.
