happy 2007 !

Reminiscing over the year...

1. Entered medical school and made new friends. After the torturesome episode of agonizing between the choices of pursuing medicine and pharmacy, I finally made up the crucial decision of choosing medicine as a career. So I’ve made some new friends, and also survived the m106 orientation - it was the first time I’ve ever eaten dog biscuits too.

After the ugly ice-breakers.

2. Went to Genting with the G10s. Jess and I hemmed and hawed and finally decided to join the G10s for the Genting trip. Had so much fun. As the place wasn’t jam-packed at that time, we practically went up every ride few times. Glad i chose to go :)

G10's turning 2 on 3rd January!

3. Did my first elective in Taman Negara. Enjoyed this as well, and it was the first time I’ve been on a trip with 2 guys, only. It wasn’t easy persuading my parents for permission, but it all went well nevertheless. A whole week’s trip. Taman Negara was a good exercise and it got me back in shape… round is a shape right?!

I was praying for Min to be gobbled up by a multi-coloured giant leech for taking this picture.

4. Was given a surprised party for my birthday. An expected one, more of. But i'm happy! For some reasons surprise birthday parties seem to never work. Wish I could hatch some cunning plan and idea in the future. But the celebration was sweet – especially the getting-smeared-with-whip-cream frenzy.

5. Passed my grade 8 piano exam. Finally! After I first admitted it being ‘devastatingly depressing’ and was so sure that I was going to fail, it’s really unexpected that I managed to pass! Just ‘pass’, by the way. But I’m VERY contented with it. Now I daresay that was undeniably due to luck. Like 99.9% luck!

And let it be known...

My 2007 resolutions:
- Stop procrastinating. This is like an irreversible curse which seem to be stuck with me forever.
- No more lies. No more white lies, gray lies, fibs… Prevarications are fine *winks*.
- Exercise… a bit.
- Stop being so sensitive. I’ve always wanted things to go my way. I want this, must have it. Want that, must get it. It’s like I want whatever I want when I want it.
- Stop brooding over unnecessary things. I brood too much, hence the day dreams. I think I’ve allotted like half of my life just to day dream.
- Remember Debbi, don’t procrastinate. Don’t procrastinate...
- Stop being a paranoid. Stop acting like a nosey parker. Stop calling my brothers idiots. Stop cursing drivers on the road. Stop being a glutton. Stop spending unnecessarily. Stop wasting so much time on the computer. Stop blogging.

Short-term goals:
- Get a new, nice, chic, wallet. And a sling bag.
- Get a jacket, more clothes
- Get creative's PoPz
- Sail through every exam with fantastic results (this should be at the top of the list)
- Pass my grade 8 theory exam (this i must!)

Happy New Year people! And no, i don't plan to stop blogging.

Post #1 !

A new blog for the new year! Well, so much for the new year. I could just hardly wait.

So, why switch?

1. I've been longing to change my blog's background. I know i could really do it by editing my current blog's template, but it'll be a huge hassle. For one, switching from a dark-coloured to a light-coloured background would be no easy task as i've changed the font colour of some of the texts - yellow texts wouldn't show on a white background, would they?

2. Have you seen my old blog's archieves? Indeed, it dates back to 23 b.c. I meant 2003. I was still the short little girl genuinely enjoying having to go to school and at the same time struggling to get SPM done with back then. My god. Have you read those posts? Well, don't ever. It's untouchable - being peppered with grammatical errors and whatnots all over. 'I never saw any friend at the night market'. wtf? And stop wondering. I don't saw my friends ok.

3. I was quite determined to stay with blogger, provided the template which i intend to use works on it. But it didn't! What a waste, had such a pretty template, too. So i started searching for other blog hosts, and stumbled upon this. Decided to give wordpress a shot. What attracts me most is its feature which enables password-protected posts. That way i could always blurt out whatever i feel like, and choose to hide the post from those whom i prefer not to be reading it. I am still with blogger. You can look at my experimental wordpress page though. I like it, and i still love the 'protected post' feature.

And, why the name debbites?

Debbites
adj. -tised

A congenital disorder which is also bizarrely known to be highly contagious. Once infected, the individual remains infective/ed for life. What is peculiar, however, is that the clinical symptoms only manifest itself when the infected individual is placed under decision making situations. Infected persons are characterised by the following signs and symptoms:

1. Acute hearing, visual, and vocal failure leading to difficulty in communication. To the laymen's eye, this is commonly perceived wrongly as the 'I don't want to hear it, see it, or talk about it' syndrome.

2. There is strong CNS (central nervous system) involvement leading to all nouns and verbs (when able to talk) to be replaced with 'I don't mind'.

3. About 1% of the infected individuals manifest with urine retention failure leading to chronic visitations to the toilet.

4. Involuntary contraction of the upper limb muscles - leading to irregular upwards movement of the shoulders (very much similar to the universal 'I don't know' sign).

Treatment: There are a few temporary reliefs and a number of remedies which have been proven to lead to a permanent cure, but those shouldn't be revealed here right? Otherwise everyone would be using it against me. How mean.

Well, basically when people say you're debbitised, it means you're being indecisive :)

Kudos to mipeen and yapok for the discovery of debbites
