Long Vacation

I'm in the midst of my first long vacation in university life. I've got one more month left, after having a relaxing break of about a month and a half. There's not much that I've done for this long holiday really, if compared to the previous shorter one. Probably, there 's not as much big celebrations like Christmas and all those.

So far, I've done a week of attachement in the Panaga Health Centre, which was quite good a learning experience. Well, there were also a few activities by IM that I've helped out in as well. The first being the health roadshow in OGDC...then followed by the one in the Mall. It was pretty interesting to actually go out to the public and do tests on them. There was the Mini Medical School just last week, which I had to do role plays. It was FUN being able to take up the roles of the "Mr Know-It-All" and the bad doctor on that day. Such a funny experience! There's the international forum coming up next week...and the Japanese exchange students coming at the end of the month. Sounds busy...

Oh yeah...results came out! I was on my way up to Bandar, almost reaching home. Out of no reason, I was coincidentally listening to 95.9 FM, the whole way from KB to Bandar! I had to make a U-turn all the way back to UBD after the excited DJ randomly announced that she'd got her results already. Feeling nervous, I waited outside the Chancellor's Hall. I was among the first few to arrive there, waiting for quite a while for the people to paste the results on the board...and weirdly I didn't get the results by SMS. Only later did I realise that I forgot to reconfirm my registration. But well, despite all that, it was a happy ending. I was really overjoyed with my results. It was better than I expected, after having such a rough semester. All the super hard work towards the end of the semester paid off. I was especially happy with the SSM results. Thank God =]

Since World Cup started, I've watched so many matches LIVE! I was just telling one of my friends that this WC alone, I've watched more football than I did for the past 20 years of my life. Haha... Quite true though. But well, nothing else better to do for this holiday. Come to think about it, it's a good way to spend time as well. It's been such a routine for the past week: watch football till like 5am...then breakfast at the pasar...then back home to sleep. Something new at least! What will happen after WC end? Hmph...

I had a steamboat lunch just now with a bunch of close friends. It's been quite a while... It's really nice when so many are back for they university vacation. I really enjoyed catching up as a group. How I wish everybody could be together in Brunei...but well, everybody is now out there chasing after his/her dream job. I'll be off somewhere to study in 2 years' time as well. Can't wait...

No plans yet for the remaining weeks. Probably I'll spend time with close friends. Hopefully tanning, swimming, lots of tennis, football maybe...badminton, going out for a drink or food...parties and all. Hope it's all FUN before university starts again in August!
