Of Conquered Places

Took daddy out into town today to show him around. Went to the night market. Or JB Bazaar as they call it. Walked around for a while. They've got some pretty cool stuff if you actually take the trouble to look around.

Passed this place by. 'My Little Corner'. It's a salon I read about recently where some of the local artistes go to apparently.

No idea what this building is being used for but it looked...very colonial.

And then I showed him this place. Roost Cafe. We went upstairs to see what it's like and he was really taken by it. Such a funky place with a really cool concept. Guess this is where I'll be hanging out on weekend nights from now on.

And after reading about this on the 'What's Going On In Johor Bahru' page for ages I finally gave it a try. Had saffron rose tea with pearls. Definitely this place over Chatime any day. Love the simple concept and their teas simply taste that much better. Very pleasant owner. Will be going back very soon.

They actually used shipping containers to make this little place. Creative much?

Everything's been going really well so far.

(I hope I didn't just jinx it.)

Finals in just over a week and then I'll be home again.

Really nice to have dad around for a little while.

God has been good.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

Confessions Of A Med Student

Everyone knows how tough medicine can be. Not just as a profession but also to study. I knew it would be stressful. I knew. But that's about all I was told. Now that I'm experiencing it, it's a whole different story. Our days are long. Our weekends fly by within the blink of an eye. There are never ending tests, exams, assignments, presentations, role play sessions and lab sessions. Classes start at eight every day five days a week. We finish at five on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays we finish at one and on Wednesdays at three, followed by extra co-curricular activities from five to seven in the evening. Tuesdays are test days for Biochemistry. After every unit we're given a short test to see where we stand which keeps us on our toes. We have role play sessions on Mondays and Fridays. Presentations can be on any given day. Assignments are a day to day thing. Questions, essays. And when I say essays I mean pages and pages of what you've studi...
