mariaelina.com - This is ME

vacation's over! sob sob… can't believe 3 weeks passed by in a blink of an eye…

Aussie n NZ was awesome! Travelling together with the Amelaganja gang was the best part of it all! And not forgetting the temporaray members along the way…

Will blog more once I get the pics up on flickr… now just glueing my butt to the couch! hehehe…

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

Road trip yeahhhhhhhhhh!! ok la maybe not so literally hehehe… More like flying, train, etc…

Gold Coast -> Sydney -> New Zealand -> Melbourne

3 weeks of fun baby! Bring it ON! wooooooohooooooooooooooo!

and btw yeah im sorry i didnt update anyting on the events that has occured in the past 2 weeks, so free yet so busy you wouldnt even believe! Will continue once I'm back from vacation =)

See you in 3 weeks!! Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!!!

Yup you read right - GRADUATION DINNER baby!

I made it yay!!

Graduation dinner is organized every year by the Faculty of Medicine on the night the same day the results are released… After the grueling day of wondering around aimlessly waiting for results to be released, we heard our names, cried like babies then quickly headed back to kolej to get ready for our night =)

This year Grad Night was at Armada Hotel, PJ… Very convinient as it was only 10 mins from UM… As usual we were late, but suprisingly they started on time!

Dinner was so-so but of course most of us were still recovering from the excitement of passing that we really didn't care bout the food (for once)… There were prizes from each department for the best student for each posting with fab prizes, Surgery department gave away RM500!!

Neoh - hot stuff! 4 girls mannnn! =D 

ME & James - My favourite clubbing kaki, best in UM eh James? =P

BFFs for life =)

Of course our dear lecturers who were a huge nightmare the week before all turned up for the dinner and the atmosphere was totally different… They were like joking around, taking pictures, and even dancing! (Prof. LWS if you can believe it!) 

Dinner finished early, bout 10pm then of course the camwhoring began (yeah so what else is new?)…

 We go wayyyy back, to being bullied during 1st year, nights at coffee bean and endless bitching sessions!

Wen, ME, Elaine, Jeevi, Jennifer
Luv u guys to bits!

ME, Prof Fatimah & Munie

We then headed to The Sanctuary, where the party REALLY began! And it was one of the BEST clubbing nights ever!! Not just coz we passed, coz everybody was there… Everybody was having fun, laughing, drinking, dancing… it was just AWESOME…

 All brand new Docs, UM mali!

A moment on the dance floor

The noisiest people in our row! haha 

We left about 3am, all still very much in hyper mode… Well we had to go home sometime right? Didn't want to look all red eyed for the big day we had the next day ;) 

Yup thats right! U can call ME Dr. ME now! =)

My heart was punding away when we were waiting for our names to be called out… They called us out one by one and the anticipation of waiting for my name n the girls' names to be called was just too much…

Then slowly one by one, starting with PCM students first…

NOOR DIANA ASHAARI
NURFARISSA BINTI HUSSIN

wooo.. one wave of relieve passed over ME when I heard their names.. I mimediately smsed Sha who wasn't there to hear her name being called… N she of course screamed for joy over the phone n told ME Mar don't joke ok? hahaha Sha please la, do u think I would joke about something like that?

Next - UM students list… There were 16 straight fails , a very large number from the batches before us and in my heart I was praying that please dont let that be ME…

Anticipation got worse - my name sould be the 64th one being called out… 1st round of joy to be let out was for Jas… Then in a row…

JASMINAH BEGAM
JASWINDER JIT KAUR
JEEVITA SUPAYAH
JENNIFER LEE LIPING

Phew… the Js all good now it was time for mine… Then I heard it…

MARIA ELINA BINTI ZAID 

and we all started screaming and crying! I barely heard the rest of my name actually!

I hugged mummy who was there with us for support and started crying and crying and crying.. Tears of joy of course!

Next up - the S-es… And they came in a row too!

SELENE TEOH TSE YEN
SHARIFAH SERI MURNI ALAINA
SHARIZAN MOHD SALIM
SIM HUI WEN

And that my friends is how we got through the most grueling day in our lives!

I have absolutely no words at all to describe how I felt when they called my name… I can't believe I made it through everything! It feels surreal! Even now as I'm writing this I'm shaking my head and grinning from ear to ear…

5 long years of studying (and lots of partying and what not in between) and I'm finally here… It's unbelieveable!

Thank you God for getting ME through these times and thank you for answering my prayers… Thank you Mummy and Daddy for your prayers and shoulder to cry on when I was really down before and in between papers! Thank you to all that prayed for ME..

Thank you to all my lecturers who have been there to guide us all through these past 5 years… Thank you to The Girls for all the studying and bitching sessions… Special thank you to Munie and Queen B for being my "patients"…

Thank you to all that have thought us all the examinations (that would be you James!)… Lastly, thanks Hubbykinz for being my punching bag! I love all of you to itsy bitsy pieces!

speechless… really…

too much has happened (all good things thankfully!) in the last 24hours that I dont even have time to digest it all.. Will update soon!

Now its PAR-TAY time baby! woohoooooooooo!

This is it… The day the results are out…

Just thinking about it is giving ME chills… scary man! I just hope everything will be ok for ME and everybody else as well… We did our part, now it's time to see what is in store for us…

Tomorrow onwards (touch wood) you may have to call me Dr.ME!! =)

Wish us all luck! MBBS 2004/2009 we have gotten this far, just one more day! WE CAN DO IT!!
