in which life is lived out of suitcases

Which is my current view on co-ass ship. There are no clothes drawers. Anywhere.

Hi

So here I am in Yogyakarta for my fourth posting which is opthalmology. RSM dr Yap. Yeay. I don't know. Apparently it's one of the more... lax (?) postings. Not a lot of things to do, but quite a lot to learn. If you're willing. We'll see how I go.

I miss internal already. Yes, because I am nerd like that. I can safely say that I love internal medicine. As horrifying and brain squeeze inducing as that sounds, I loved it. I was really sad when it finally ended, last Saturday. My doctor was/is amazingly, awesome. You have no idea.

Back to Jogja and Opthalmology. Here with Mira. We have a room in the hospital mess. Ladies get one house, guys get another. It's okay but the mattress has clearly seen better days. Lying on it is akin to lying on wood. God knows how many people have slept on it all these years of interchanging coass-es. The room is reasonably large, no wardrobe, one fan, and one drawer to put stuff, but maybe not clothes, in. We're living out of our suitcases, and already planning to go back to Jakarta for raya because we're the only ones actually celebrating out of our current group and it'll generally be too sad if we had to stay here for the celebration.

First day, skema-ness dictates we'll be going in at 0700am. I have yet to take a bath but I will after this, I promise. It's been ages since I had to live in a dorm like situation (though this is a house) where the first rule is always toilet privileges. If you have lived at a boarding school for over 5 years, there is nothing more important than toilet privileges. Except for maybe the "your bed is your private space" rule. Not exactly looking forward to this since yesterday I was still feeling melancholic over having finished internal posting and leaving Simpangan. Because, dammit Medicine posting was the best posting yet. And I miss my girls. As lame as that sounds.

So anywho. 0500 am. Would like to go pray and take a bath now. And maybe a short nap before having to get ready for first day. Why can't they post us to hospitals and finish our entire posting there rather than having to move everywhere every time we change postings? At least first day adaptation to new environments won't have to happen so often.

tour of duty

Long time no connection

I finally have internetzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though this is on broadband. Which I recently bought, due to stories from seniors and preparations for the months ahead when I finally get to enter my co-ass thingy. And my previous internet provider being lame and leech-y, we terminated that and bought broadband. Oh my god.

Also, I am moving.

Not that I actually want to, but when the rent suddenly goes up without adequate warning, and what with us all having extra expenses recently, we decided to move. Actually, it's more like, we had to move. If we didn't we'd pretty much bleed dry. Or something. You can tell, I haven't been writing all that much. It's not coming out as I want it too. Hurmmmm....

Anyways, we are moving. My room is pretty much empty now, we're all sleeping in Aqilah's room for the time being. Tomorrow we move for real. In which, we're finally sleeping there. Or something some such. We're gonna share three to a room. So bye-bye privacy. And I'll have to make an effort to be less messy, or at least, contain the mess to my part of the room.

I love this house and am pretty sad to leave it. A sentiment shared by pretty much everyone right now. But, yeah. We can't help it. Or something.

I not being very eloquent nor intelligible right now. Ignore me.

I'm sad.

And my short semester class starts next Monday. I'm planning on taking Saturday and Sunday to read up on the subject, I cannot afford to fail of course. We'll see. Nona will do her best. Yeah.

at the end, there's always a beginning

So.... yeah...

HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOoOOOoooooOOOOOoo!!!!

I've finished my remedial papers yesterday and now I'm officially on holiday. Hahaha....

I'm bored.

But that's normal...

Thus, so ends my third semester... Will I fail spectacularly? Will I succeed gracefully?

Yeah... who cares. I'm just glad I can wake up late. Haha.

So, we'll be moving, my housemates and I, tomorrow.

To a new 'kosan'... It's hella expensive but.... yeah.... beggers can't really be choosers. Ikat perut beramai2. Ahahaha...

I've still got some packing to do. Books mostly and some odds and ends. Here's the time you start thinking; "Why the heck did I keep this?" and throw it into the plastic bag labeled 'Junk'.

Tomorrow, a lorry will come to take all our stuff to our new digs. I'm sort of looking forward to it. As soon as I can get my lazy ass of my bed, that is.

Then after that, I'm going home!!!! Yeah... Malaysia Here I COME!!!!

On Sunday to be exact.

So I've one day to get the feel of my new digs and then, I'm jetting off. Hahaha...

It's sort of all packed up, you know?

Yesterday, I took my paper. Today I'm (supposed to be) packing, tomorrow I'm moving. Then I've got one whole day of unpacking and getting the feel of the new house. Sunday morning, I'll be off.

I miss my home. Hahaha.... I haven't been home for .... what...5 months? Give or take.

I don't really mind being here anymore but, yeah...home is home... Nothing can quite replace that.

My dad told me once that I've actually left home from the first time I went to boarding school at the tender age of 13.

It's kind of true, when you think about it. Spending most of the year away from home. Though Tualang's asrama can't really be said for anything much because I still go home every two weeks on the weekends.

It's kinda sad... hahah (;^_^A

Btw, it seems that the mold from hell has made a comeback. It grows again after only two days!

Ughhhh..... It's disgusting.

Methinks it's time to invest on a new wardrobe.

Yeahh....methinks I shall be very pokai next month as well. Hahaha
