I Can't Think Of A Title Sorry

Am back home for a while. We're all on study break at the moment. Professional exams start second week of August.
Got back sometime middle of last week. MAS flights are pretty cheap if you're lucky but unlike Air Asia and Firefly, 95% of the people traveling are in suits and carry briefcases or laptop bags. 
Business class travelers. 
All of them.
One of my most interesting short travel experiences so far, though. I had a window seat so on my left was this Chinese dude in Levi's, a Hard Rock T and a black blazer. Had two very expensive looking phones with him (hard not to notice when he was right next to me) and was happily chatting away until we were told to keep away electronic devices. At one point he dozed off. Funny how much less attractive people look when they're asleep. Mouth open, head going 'helicopter' and all.
Once I reached KLIA I headed down to the bus terminal. I had about fifteen minutes to walk from our arrival gate all the way down. 
So. Much. Walking.
Confirmed my booking and seat number on the incoming YOYO to Ipoh and sat waiting for a few minutes.
As I was scanning my surroundings, this Punjabi fellow in the MAS uniform comes walking towards me, beaming.
"Hi!", he said, a little too friendly. "I saw you get off the flight earlier!"
I had no idea who he was but just nodded and smiled. There was no reason to be hostile anyway.
He got his ticket to wherever he was going and then started speaking to me again; Where I was going etc. And then just as he left, I don't know if it was his inability to describe or if it was just who he was, but he went, "Eyes."
I creased my brows questioningly, and cocked my head forward a little so as to say, "I'm sorry, what?"
And he gave this thumbs up gesture and repeated, "Eyes. Uh. Heh. Your eyes." *thumbs up* "Okay I'll see you!"
And just like that he was gone.
And after that, this British family sat on the empty seats next to me with a huge map in their hands. Mom, dad, a little girl around 2 years old and a little boy around 5 (they were soooooo cute. The little girl looked like an absolute doll).
Next thing I know, said map was right under my nose and they were asking me where to go to experience something local.
I could only think of Bukit Bintang (hello I'm not from KL neither do I spend a lot of time in KL very often) but that wasn't 15 minutes from the airport. They were looking to go somewhere nearby so I apologized and told them to try asking one of the ladies behind the counter where I got my bus ticket (since the information counter was about a 15 minute walk from where we all were downstairs at the terminal anyway) and I think they figured out where to go because as I was boarding the bus I saw them gathering their things to leave as well. 

 Aside from everything, though, things have been really good. Didn't expect to be home but it's so nice to be back for some time again.
And I'm sleeping so much better now. So much better.


Off to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia for a nice long break as soon as exams are all over. Really looking forward to it.
Cheers, guys :)

More soon!

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within th...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...
