I wanted to update...a whole Kuala Kangsar case report part deux! with all the pictures etc...but resizing them took hell of a long time...I gave up! too many pictures in juz a week! madness...
KK is OK...as what Eugene calls it...A pseudo-town! It's literally a town with just one road leading from one end to the other. Hence the nick. No complains of the rest house! it's awesome enough compared to the other poor PMC-ians! hehe...*p/s: Taiping peeps are no terms to complain abt their place and they deserve to be whacked!*
It's pretty funny living in a hulu place. You know the saying "you can never bring the kampung out of a person"....well here comes the saying "you can NEVER EVER bring the city out of anyone!" ~~ teehee~~ Most of the days, we'd be lining up tables in KFC to use their free wifi (of course we would have to buy some fried chicken) and everyone there would stare at us as like weirdos. I do admit it does look weird.
We ended up going to Ipoh...TWICE! once to watch a movie (Goddamnit Alien vs Predator 2 officially deteriorated by brain) and 2nd time to have a jolly good time eating sushi and bowling (i-wan-karaoke-but-eugene-wont-let-!!!) till midnight! ... On Awal Muharram we ended up driving over to Taiping and ...I tergolek in the Night Safari ended up with a wound which probably ended up getting infected as it got inflamed the next day...and I then ended up getting a tetanus shot and treated by the very same MA i was kutuk-ing (COZ HE WAS MENYAMAR-ING AS A DOCTOR!!!) a few days prior to that in some hulu klinik 43km from kuala kangsar probably for orang asli while we were collecting our questionnaires! And then...on the way back...I realised I forgot to pay RM1...which officially makes me part of their statistics of patients who did not pay for treatment!!! I might as well be the first one in 2008 since it was only the 11th of Jan!
Anyways...the KK group is a whole lot of fun. Well...the most free ones compared to others like Manjung or Kerian definitely! hehe...and yea...tomorrow have to leave at 6am to cari larvae Aedes at people's houses and SAMAN them...sounds nice eh?
Had a surprising phonecall from a good friend I least expected because...she had called me all the way from Indonesia, which kept me wondering. She asked me...
"Are you happy, Elaynie?"
I was speechless for a sec...My reply was...
"Most of the time...Not always, are you?"
And she said...
"No"
I'm not telling the whole story here, but what I'm trying to say is...A few years ago everything just seemed so clear and so happy. We wanna do this, we wanna be that. We're gonna be rich and happy. But now let me ask you something...What actually makes someone happy once they grow up? Is it the way you look? The car you drive? The people you know? Is it money? Or power? Or accomplishments?
A lot of people have those things, and yet they don't think it's enough. Well then, maybe it could really be love like what everyone says. Love could be for a boy, or a girl, a child, or a place or a way of life, or even for a family. But where you find it is up to you.
Is it?

hahah.. the pursuit of happiness.. :)
We all do it... When I came to Dub I was at that stage, unknowingly.
We all know I got to med school.. Then when I was here, I then found out the very same thing. What am I happy for?
At the moment, I am unable to find what will make me happy in the long run.. But for the time being, I dig through my life, my goals, and my soul, to figure out what might bring me joy and satisfaction. :)
It seems like when I first walked in here, I achieved my lifelong dream of my pursuit... And then lost my happiness... I gained something, but lost something as well :)..
Then again, me being your overseas panda friend... At the moment, I'm happy.. :) haha
Alright, enough cakaping for you to stare at. :)
miss you n the rest of the gang. :) Sometimes wish I met you all earlier :) but late is better than never, so :)
