Moon Reflection

Gestures - sign of affection
Glaze - sharp and full of desire
Walking style,ways doing stuff is so attracting me to know the person deeper.

I’ll lie saying this affectionful feeling never been felt before in life.
But this time over, it made me realise that my inner heart full of love and affection is still alive.
I’m proud of myself altogether.
My heart once again helps me realise my potential.
Thank you dear heart.
Love you so.

Trying to fight for the rights and doing the correct things sometimes makes people think….
- that we are useless
-that we made their life miserable

Some ppl just make their own conclusion without even getting to know the real reason behind every action.
I believe i’m right……and there’s no wrong in it…..and i’m sure about it…..

You can go on and on about your crap……
I’m sure if u understood the reason……u’ll be ashamed of urself…..
Thats why sometimes its better to keep truth to ourself….in a way not to hurt others even if that means bad image will fall on us!

By the way this is plain crap. Do not take this personally. Just a personal conflict. Nothing to do with anyone dead or alive.
=)

Whats with the maths?
it was 2+2=4 but now it seems 2+3-1=4

Why is there the subtraction?
Isn’t it better to just add and not subtract?

Why need elimination in the road to victory?
I’m talking about whats happening lately……….the recent outbreak.
Is it a disease of no cure?
Or it is malignant at last stage??

Human beings….HUMAN BEINGS don’t do this….
there is selective elimination in the human evolution to maintain human species but this is a call of nature…not to be in the hands of any one…ANY ONE!

It is not our business as humans to control another..
Feeling of togetherness as a population is lacking right now.

Will we survive this………

Adapted from Kathirasen’s column Nst Online 22 Nov 2007:

At one time, the rat race was only at the workplace. Today, the rat race has entered the classroom.

Just look at the kindergartens and nurseries that are sprouting; just look at the 4-year-old being forced to learn to read and write in a kindergarten environment; just look at the tuition centres that are flourishing.

One might be tempted to ask: where are we, as a society, headed?

It is, of course, easy to condemn society. Or parents for pushing their children to the brink.

In the wake of Subashini’s death, many voices of admonition were heard. Among them: “don’t push your children” and “passing is not everything”.

I wonder if those who say such things allow their own children the freedom to relax and study at their own pace.

Most of us put a little pressure on our children where studies are concerned. We want our children to have a comfortable life, a happy life and we believe that a good education will lead them in that direction.

The problem arises, as it always does, in finding the right balance.

You need to push but you also need to know when to withdraw. It is an art that experience, and common sense, can teach.

Suicide is about ending pain and misery; this feeling gobbles up the individual who sees no end to the pain or the problem that causes the despair.

I have spoken to parents, students, some educators and a couple of politicians and they all say that the despondency is particularly acute among Indians.

They cite, as an indicator of this, the fact that Indians commit suicide the most.

Figures on suicides in the country are, apparently, not exact. The first accurate data are to be released by the National Suicide Registry next August.

But health experts estimate that between nine and 13 in every 100,000 Malaysians are taking their own lives today compared with eight in 100,000 in the 1980s. And this, they stress, is a conservative estimate.

The experts say that between 30 and 35 of every 100,000 Indians commit or attempt suicide. The figure for the Chinese community is 15 while that for the Malay community is six.

According to the World Health Organisation, the global suicide rate is 16 to every 100,000 people. This means the suicide rate among Indian Malaysians is about double the world rate.

Why do people commit suicide?

According to national Health Registry Unit chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Aziz Abdullah, the main causes of suicide in Malaysia are financial problems, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, childhood abuse and mental problems such as schizophrenia.

Factors that trigger suicides include examination woes, stress, job loss and relationship problems. These causes, of course, are not peculiar to Malaysia. They apply to all nations.

There are other factors, too, that lead to depression and a feeling of hopelessness.

For instance, a study by the University of Michigan School of Public Health, the University of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Minority Health Coalition shows discrimination as a “risk factor” for mental health.

The study’s co-author Gilbert Gee was quoted as saying: “Policies that strengthen civil rights, reduce discrimination or encourage multiculturalism aren’t just feel-good programmes. They might have an important effect on health outcomes as well.”

What makes the Indian population more prone to suicide? Those that I talked to cite poverty, lack of economic and educational opportunities and a loss of self-esteem.

“What happens is that they know their children have to do better than the rest, especially in school grades and examination results, to get places in universities.

“Being on par is not enough to guarantee their children a place. They have to score higher.

“So these parents push their children even harder.”

This, he said, put too much pressure on their children and sometimes the children crumpled under the weight of the high expectations.

Is that what happened to Subashini?

I don’t know. But what I do know is that we should address the situation.

The government has to take cognizance of the larger problem; schools have to identify and counsel those who might go off the edge; and parents have to review the manner in which they push their children to do well.

Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse. - Dr Karl A Menninger

My comments…..competition is good but an extreme one till the child or students had to bear the stress of losing the battle is an unhealthy competition……
We must always keep in mind that failure is just a step to success…. Not all straight A students perfom well in their work-life by the way. This shud be made understandable to the child as in a campaign…..not only Kempen Kecemerlangan all the time as i had during my school time.

Let’s give hope to others !
One way to help save a life………..

Now, two-year housemanship for medical graduates
BERNAMA
PUTRAJAYA, WED:

The government has doubled to two years the period of housemanship for medical graduates beginning next year.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said today the Cabinet agreed to the extension in the belief that it would enable the medical graduates to garner more knowledge, skills and experience.

The two years will cover four-month training stints each in the medical, paediatrics, general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, and emergency fields.

The longer period of housemanship would benefit the people by way of upgrading of healthcare, Dr Chua told reporters at his office here.

Malaysia’s public and private institutions of higher learning produce about 1,200 medical graduates annually.

Here is someone i’ve always admired since my schooling days in Taman Petaling.
Paste the link and see for urself the journey he went through:

I’ve never held his hands,only had few chances of helping him with directions to teacher’s room.
I’ve seen him crack jokes.
How he mingles with fellow teachers with ease.
And almost all the long-serving teachers in my school used to love him.

I’ve heard stories from my dear sister,
How he used to teach Sejarah to her class
She was in charge of directing him from the teachers room to their class for each lesson coz she was the penolong class then……the class monitor, a malay girl refused to hold his hands and direct ways even though it is the duty assigned to her….
And his daughter who is schooling there too becames a fren to my sister….

I’ve passed by classes while he’s teaching and seen students at the behind of the class actually not listening to him and minding their own business…..
How these girls managed to do that actually…not respecting a teacher who is so dedicated to teaching eventhough he’s not able to see who his students really are…..

All i hope is he’ll continue to do well and be in the best shape of his health!

Cheers to Friendship !

Friends come
Friends go
Some stay
Some don’t

Feeling of togetherness around friends is the best thing in the world anyone can feel next to familial togetherness.
This post is specially dedicated to all my sincere friends who were there during my ups and downs.
Thanks ppl!!!

ooops…………..shudn’t say thanks to frens (acc to some tamil movie) =)

For being there for me,
So caring,
Willing to share,
With great big heart…..

Love you all !!!!!

Being among a group of students supposedly going to graduate in 2 years time,I thought everyone should work it all out as a group,at least thats what i’m doing all this while. Sharing and caring.

But what i get when i needed something? I get the answer no straight to my face.
What kind of people is that??
If a future doctor has these kind of attitude, i really pity their future patients……….

Being the best in medical school can’t promise you become a good doctor…..
You might be knowledgable and all but with that attitude you ain’t going anywhere!

For the girls,being pretty might(not sure abt tis) save u somewhere during ur med school exams or internship but not when u are left alone to treat!

I never thought world is becoming such a bad place to live in till this very moment!!!!

Festival of Light is here !
Let’s celebrate ppl!
how???
Light up the lifes of unfortunates! (in this context,i mean sick ppl who might need our help,maybe a fren!)
Be kind to others!
Light up your own life!
New aims,missions,strategies with more ‘light’. By light i mean effort!
Shine into life’s of family and friends! Even a simple wish can light up the day of some!
Care and share!
