Catchphrase

I watched a movie on the flight back from Melbourne and a phrase uttered by one of the casts struck me. 'You won't fail if you don't give up' - profound isn't it? Such simple words but full of wisdom and a whole lotta truth! If you keep on trying eventually you'll succeed. The amount of success varies but there's bound to be some.

The movie was The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff from Scrubs. It's supposed to be shown on local cinema in February, if I'm not mistaken. It's about uncertainties in life and the consequences of falling to temptations and of course facing the results of said actions. Not a bad movie to watch but don't blame me if you don't get your ringgits worth!

Giving Something Back to Society

Isn't it a wonderful thing if we were born a philanthropist?
Always having this need to give and to give and to contribute
Hoping that we will make a difference in society
So that the future of our children and our children's children is secured

The place that I work at right now allows me to contribute to society. I can give my all. I can sacrifice my weekends to preach and teach and make them take their health seriously. But how well do they take it? How far do they hold to the idea? I'm having trouble as it is talking to difficult patients. They drive me nuts, that sometimes I just keep my mouth shut and pretend to listen to their lousy excuses for not taking their meds or for not coming to the clinic as appointed. Then they with their sullen faces will leave the clinic and probably won't be coming back. To hell with modern medicine they will say. 'We'll stick to our trusted home remedy and air akar kayu to manage our blood pressure and diabetes!' they chant in unison.

Melbourne

The safest city one can imagine
On foot for hours on end with no worries
The city tranquil and bustling with activities
With the locals and tourists in a colorful array of ethnicities
The beach serene and windy
The road broad but traffic palatable
Shopping- ah, simply heaven!
The salesperson ever so friendly
Simply glad I've been there.

Questions!

Ever had the feeling that you are trapped until it suffocates?
Ever had dreams of becoming someone else?
Ever felt that you are supposed to reach greater heights?
Ever felt that what you are doing had no real meaning?
Ever dreamt of working overseas during winter?
Ever went out with a weirdo with shrink tendencies (who might hit a nerve or two)?

This is it!

After giving a lot of thoughts and considerations, I finally give-up! So here I am! I'm here, I've arrived. Have been going on for years about blogging, even dreamt about it! But why start now... you may ask. And that question brings me to the issue of disclosure. How much am I willing to disclose? Not much I hope. I'll try to remain the private person that I am. So here goes...
