How do you deal when someone tells you that another person you're not remotely close to dislikes you for one particular incident that has happened?
I think... you don't deal, you give it a 'pfft' and move on.
I've had my share of bad rumours and catty acquaintances. I get too lazy to defend myself sometimes and just let whatever they want to think float.
I think it's unfair that you get labeled based on one incident (that people even haven't got straight facts of) that happened which completely undermines the other ninety nine instances of good that you've done. But that's just the way it is, you know. People will remember you for the bad that you've done and pass cold remarks about the good.
I tell myself this every time this happens, that as long as the people that I care for know what I am about then there is nothing more for me to explain.
Some people stay fallen when things go wrong, but I think I prefer to ignore it, or at least blog about it first then later ignore it, and prove people wrong, that is altogether a different kind of gratification.

Most of my Malaysian friends who have decided to do the BAR have left for the UK earlier this week. I miss the UK a bit but BAR is definitely still an option for me.
All the best to them. I miss you all so much and I'm sorry a trip to KL could not have been made in time for your departures. Good Luck and please update me on what BAR is like.

What do you do with all the residual hoes, skanks, sluts, bitches and tramps of the world?
People who irk you will always irk you. How do you not let them get to you?
There's this girl who is annoying me and inconsiderately hurting another fellow friend. Mind you, I may tolerate this indecency but not for long and I will go public with what I know.
Watching each other's back is what we should do for each other. I put myself in her shoes and I know what a fool you will be making out of her and that I will not tolerate for much longer. It takes two to tango and boys will always be boys. For a medic student, if I'm right, you really should be less blonde and more brains.
Good night!

The Lufbru Summer Games ended yesterday, August 3rd, with netball being the final sport. This year was my first year playing, luckily enough with R.A. This is the team that, I've realised, after playing two tournaments with them, that people love to hate. The team that people try to find faults with and yesterday was no different, a few obstacles were thrown our way.
There were disputes regarding additional imports and what not, and just in the defence of R.A., if people and fellow players thought about it from our standpoint as a team in contention for the championship title, they should be able to understand our frustration... hopefully.
But no major arguments, we just did what we could as we always do in rough circumstances.
Overall, we came 2nd which was satisfactory because by the end of the 13hour day, most of us were tired and all we wanted to do was to finish the game and konk out. The other finalist, the Ravenz, were, in so many words, too good. The teamwork between their two imports were hard to break but we did the best we could, and were good with runner up.
But we did have a small Mexican wave thing from R.A. supporters during the finals which really made my night! Thank you supporters. : )

Now that netball is over with, I need to find something to fill up my afternoon 'netball training' time. I want to get back into basketball, it's been so long since I played competitively and I always tell people that I've got the heart but not the physique to participate, this I'm sure many can relate too.
It's August! Where the frick did time go, I've been back a month and can safely say I've done nothing productive. Tsk. I guess that's what a break is about isn't it. I've also been faced with endless questions of 'what next' or 'what my plans are' but the truth is, I don't know. So I just smile, and say, 'I want to take a few months off first before I start anything'.
I find it difficult to tell people the truth that I don't know what's next for me. Mostly because I don't want to sound like a drifter, aimless and goal-less. Trust me, I have aims and goals, I just don't know what to do NOW to fill up my time.
One step at a time, one step at a time. I'm just afraid of looking down the line and seeing how I've never managed to attain those dreams and just being like a cog in the work wheel!
I don't quite like this phase of my life, enjoying the relaxation time, but not so much the transitioning part. Gah!
Big hello (!!!!) to my KL friends, who I miss so much, all your love, BS, poker and lame jokes!
