So here i am, home sweet home in Penang....but i'll be heading back to KL in less than 12 hours... Thought i'd do some writing. Here goes :
1) Laser Tag
It was SOOOOOOO much fun!!! More fun than i expected. Do not believe the Hollywood its-only-for-geeks stigma. I was skeptical coz i thought i'd be winded before the end of the first round...haha! Thankfully i had my friend Avni who literally forced me to come along. She said a group of us were going, so here i thought only 5-6 of us....turns out the 5-6 of us were joining her church group, making us a massive crowd of 22 pax. Wohoo!! Nevermind the fact i dont know anyone (well..maybe i knew 3 ppl), it was pure 100% unadulterated good clean sweaty fun. 5 rounds, 10 minutes each and we get to wear these cool vests that light up with our team colour, guns that shoot out green laser beams (& tells us who shot us!!) and run around a dark obstacle-filled battlezone. Hiding behind barricades, sniping, running guerrila-style, attack, defense...we did it all. It was great we came prepared wearing all-black & sports shoes.
2) Ali Baba
This has got to be my favourite night spot, hands down! Beats my previous night spot in Jalan Damai before DBKL tore it down. Alibaba is an open-air Iranian restaurant, populated 80-90% by middle-eastern/Iranian customers. On weekend nights they have a live band playing Iranian pop songs and and open dance floor. Free for all! The ambience is beautiful, and my girl friends and i go there around once a month just to chat, have some food and smoke sheesha....get a lil buzz goin and then, right before leaving we join the dance floor!! Who'd have thought i'd be dancing in public (and on high-heels too!). Even the waiters there have recognized me...which isn't difficult to do considering only the Iranians populating the dance floor. Not difficult to see a Malaysian girl in tudung among the fair crowd. Hehehe....all in the name of good fun. Fr some reason i can justify dancing in Alibaba the way i do dancing at private parties as opposed to clubbing...coz it really is just dancing : no drunkenness, no groping...just pure fun
3) OMHS-Korea
I don't wanna say much about OMHS coz frankly i'm already sick of it. It was a public health posting, and my group was sent to KLang District to study the role of health officers in the importation & exportation of food products, among other things. Well, the 4 of us (KarYee, Afeena, Mukhlis & myself) sent in an abstract regarding the safety of malaysian palm oil and it got accepted for a poster presentation in the APACPH (Asia-Pacific Public Health) Conference in Seoul, Korea! They're all very excited and I'm like, what the hell are we gonna present? The department will only sponsor 1 person...which we consider unfair coz it was truly a team effort so they are working on sponsorship from elsewhere. God, i just hope everything goes according.
4) Ramadhan & Laa Tahzan
This year for some reason I'm excited for Ramadhan...now is already the 7th day. I guess it is just the perfect timing for new beginnings. I also bought the book Laa Tahzan which means Don't Be Sad...it has been recommended to me by several people and since its ramadhan i think they're having a promotion on religious books so i keep seeing it everywhere. I took it as a sign to read it. Not to mention the fact that I gotta get my drive and focus back after a potential love interest gone astray...all in all, a good time for a dose of self-motivation. I'm only 50 pages into it, and so far so good!
I think that is it. Hopefully things will be looking up for me from now on. I've reconnected with friends, made some new ones, taken some steps to help myself...so i believe i have the right tools in hand to make it through this darn stretch of MBBS.
Just gotta remember to stay POSiTiVE!
Thanks for reading. Till next time, ciao.
