Cats and cars

Have you ever wondered why cats like to sleep under cars, behind tyres, on top of the car's roof? It is as if cars are cat magnets that cats are extremely attracted to them.

Many times, we've heard stories about cats being run over by cars just beacause they were catnapping in places that weren't meant to be. But all these stories that I heard, were so far away from me that I never felt the severity of the death of a cat being run over. Until 2 days ago.

I was on my way out from the male psychiatric ward at the old hospital. A staff nurse has parked her car right infront of the main gate and she was starting her car, to make a move out of the compound. While we were walking out, she was backing her car out. We didn't hear anything abnormal at all. But as she was going further away from her original spot, I saw something writhing in pain on the grass. At first it did not register to me what was that. After awhile, I finally realized that it was a cat, squashed and on the verge of death. It was stammering as the last breath of life escaped from its body. Its brain were half splattered out from its skull and its eyes were all out from their sockets.

I couldn't believe what I saw and I immediately alerted the driver. She was also shocked of what just happened. But I don't blame her as no one would expect a cat will still be under the car when the engine is on.

So there. I saw the death of a cat, squashed by a car. That image still haunts my head.

Mencuri di bulan puasa

Pagi tadi aku berada di Hospital Alor Setar, lebih tepat sekali, aku berada di klinik psikiatri. Most of the patients yang datang di klinik adalah patient yang stabil dan hanya datang untuk amik ubat dan counselling. Jadi, disebabkan waktu tu awal lagi dan doktor pun belum ada lagi, kebanyakan pesakit hanya berlegar-legar di ruang menunggu di luar klinik.

Masa aku menunggu tu, aku ada terpandang seorang pakcik dalam lingkungan umur lewat 30-an. dia sedang duduk di tepi pagar ditemani seorang lagi uncle yang agak tua dari pakcik itu. Uncle tu tertidur sambil menunggu, tetapi pakcik itu tidak. Aku takde la perhati lama sangat. Tapi setelah beberapa lama, aku tengok pakcik tu macam mengambil sesuatu dari saku baju uncle yang tengah tidur tu.

Uncle tu tertidur terlalu nyenyak sampai dia tak sedar yang pakcik tu telah mengambil sekotak rokok dari aku baju uncle tu. Kemudian, dengan pantas, pakcik itu bangun dan memandang ke arah aku. Masa tu aku memang dah nampak apa pakcik tu buat. Pakcik tu memasukkan rokok yang dia baru curi itu kedalam saku seluarnya dan bergerak ke arah sekumpulan lelaki lain yang takde mengena dengannya atas alasan nak menutup kesalahannya.

Aku tenung lama pakcik itu dan dia perasan aku tenung dia. Dia rasa tak sedap hati, kemudian dia terus start motor and beredar dari situ.

Kerana sekotak rokok, sanggup pakcik tu mencuri di bulan mulia ni kan?

Amal, this is for you....

Kalau aku ada, aku sangkut kat kain dia kott, tengok best tak terbang freestyle macam tu :P

Boleh caya ke footage neh?

hooo yeah!!

Cerita dia macam ni, aku beli seluar ni kat singapore tahun 2008 ke, 2007 ke. masa tu, aku kira slimfit lagi la kan. sekali, berat badan aku berjaya meningkat secara exponiential tanpa belas kasihan untuk kurang. Jadi tak muatlah seluar tu akhirnya...

Tapi, sebab aku pun nak berusaha untuk kurangkan lemak yang berlebihan, aku pun berniat untuk muat balik dalam seluar tu pada 27/8/10. Tetapi malangnya, pada tarikh itu, aku masih rasa keketatan yang amat menyedihkan ketika aku sarung seluar itu. So, aku pun ubah la date pergi ke hari merdeka.

MERDEKA!!!

Woohoo! aku muat la seluar itu. Ternyata, kalau I put my mind to it, sure boleh!

Lepas ni, aku nak try muat kat baju aku yang bersize S pulak... tengok sampai tak tahap tu :P

Why is this so trendy?

As the day passes by, the height of those things hidden under the hijab gets higher and higher. I always wonder what is the purpose of that chignon-like thing that is placed under the hijab.

I wonder, if these ladies travel with motorbikes, how do they put their helmets on? When they go for BMI check-up, which height is taken, the apparent height (including the chignon) or the true height?

Does it make the wearer looks much more leaner and more beautiful? Personally, I think it just makes them look weird.

What say you?

You will not stop surprising me :)

A package was waiting for me on the table today after I woke up from a 4 hours coma. Had a really bad headache and heat intolerance earlier in the day. But as soon as I saw this pack on my table, everything else was forgotten.

Guess which one is my favourite??

And good choice for the blue shades of the earrings as my kurung this year is also blue :)

Thanks Mamak, Nana, Shadi, and Yayah!

LOVE!!

GUCCI's twin

Didn't know that GUCCI had a twin by the name of GUCCA, and selling furnitures, no less. Malaysia is so "original".

Remember ADIDAS's counterpart, ASADI?

Damn, branding is so much important than quality.

Save the dates

No, not for my wedding, not yet at least. But those dates that I circled in purple, those are the days that will determine my being a qualified Medical Bachelor, Bachelor of Surgery, in short, a Doctor.

We finally got the dates and it seems all so real now. I am anxiously anticipating for those days to come. It's like I love to hate those days, and at the same time, I hate to love them too.

Let me put some details:
-24th Jan 2010: Medicine, Psychology, Paediatric theory paper
-28th Jan 2o1o: Surgery, OBGYN, Orthopedics theory paper
-7th Feb 2010: OSCE
-9th Feb 2010: Bedside examination (3 short cases)
-10th Feb 2010: Bedside examination (1 long case)

Pray for me :)
