2nd week of GI

-
One week has passed since the new system of GI began.
I promised to work harder but things somehow did not work out the way I wished.
But I did make an effort to change my lifestyle.
I go for swimming every morning before going for class. And hopefully I would become healthier and fitter.
Classes start at 1.30pm everyday after lunch so I would not eat with my friends like I'd usually do in the last semesters. I could not adapt to the new time-table yet. I had problems adapting to a new routine in which I would have to do most of the things on my own. I spoke less than I usually would because I prefer studying at home but not at campus, hence I do not see any of my mates after class.
I do not like this very much. But I am tired of asking friends out for lunch or dinner. Because I always end up eating alone. I think this should not be a big deal because eventually I would get used to it.

But I pay much attention to the progress of my studies.
I must focus more.
I tend to get distracted too easily.
Facebook and Instagram. They make no reasons for any priority. But it has become a habit of scrolling the posts and pictures, which serves no meaning at all. I do not like this.
I do not like it when I am not doing what I really enjoy, which is learning about medicine and things that I should know.
I am very clear that this is a long semester which consists of 4 systems but with only one week of study break before the exams. I cannot afford to fail. I should proceed to the next semester with flying colours instead of hoping for a pass only.
Procrastination is a crime in medical school.
I shall always bear in mind that I must observe my thoughts every now and then. Do what I plan, and fulfil my wishes and promises.

Please. Focus!
ALL THE BEST



WITH LOVE,
YM CHAN

And then I told myself, it's okay. I'll become better. But then I'm not quite happy. I realized I'm always not quite happy all the time. I am behind schedule. I am distracted. I am awfully distracted to things that I want to do, feelings that I want to possess. Am I running away from reality? No because I live in reality and no matter how terrific I can be it is me, surviving in the realm of distractions and sufferings and...a place that allows falling behind schedule and forever feeling unsatisfactory to life. There you go, I told myself. There is no bounding of heartbeats. No breathes that become too shallow and quick. But it is there, the distractions, that would begin and would not end. But when your eyes fall on mine, I took it as a little step closer to fostering a better friendship. Period. But your eyes fall on mine for the second time, but third time and, but, for the fourth time. My hormones start to play around with me. It is disgusting, when dist...

When You Are Mad

-
When you are mad at someone or frustrated over something, your heart palpitates and your lungs hyperventilate. You breathe faster and within a short time you feel light-headed. You can't stop these because they are innervated by the autonomic nervous system. But you can do something else. You can take a deep breath. Then another longer, deeper breath. You think of the more important things in life. You think of things that are more worthwhile to care about. You think of things that matter you more. You also think of things that you'd enjoy more doing them. Nothing is less enjoyable than getting into frustration. So give yourself a pause, maybe a minute or two to think of what you might be doing. If you are doing nothing but feeling frustrated, tell yourself to hold on, and remind yourself that there are better things to do in life. Do your favourite things. Such as reading your favourite novel or blogging. Take out your medical books. Remind yourself about the never-en...

I'm too fat to look good now I need to shed some weight

I had a good 'o weekend well spent with Mum, Dad and brother. I'll have to admit that I hadn't been doing enough reading but what's more important and happier than to eat, play and shop with your loved ones? To be frank, I love shopping with my mum. Well, who does not? Most of the time when you shop with your parents, you don't have to consider so much or for a time so long that the promoter gets fed up with you before you can decide on which item you really want. Sadly this is what happens to me when I shop on my own. Money matters too much especially at my stage of life when I am already in a heavy debt to the government, and of course, to my parents, both for my tutor fees and all other kinds of life expenses. I'm pretty stress-free when I shop with my mum because all I need to do is to consider whether the thing that I am going to buy is practical/useful enough and if it is worth the amount of money. However, today I have to make a decision on working o...
