smells like funk

it's so cold, i don't think i'll take a shower today.

these days there's nothing much else to do but to ponder and attempt to study bacteria. pondering about why the tsunami happened, and God's plan behind this. the conclusion is that it's silly to question God about such things, because even if He gave me the answer my puny human brain would never be able to comprehend the entire picture. i didn't make the world in 7 days after all.

the people who perished will not die in vain, hopefully. the tragedy serves as a major wake-up call, to open our eyes to what we have and cherish them, cliche as it sounds. it'd be terrible if we continue to focus on all the superfluous things that clutter our minds and divert our attention away from wat's really important.

then again, time's a funny thing. it seems that mankind never fails to get back into the vicious cycle of squandering our time away on useless and self-centred activities a few months (or years) after a catastrophe has struck. forgetfulness is our forte, so it seems.

so i'm cooped up at home in my ratty grey sweater and teddy bear slippers, with the relentless rain beating down out there (i want my sunshine), waiting for my mom to buy dinner back.

in an ideal world, i'd be joining a relief team with all fervency and fly to aceh to offer my medical services. but the reality bites, and the truth is i haven't started revision for my pathology test next monday and am still an unqualified medical professional-to-be who still can't remember the names of the bones of the toe.

bah.

on a lighter note, i've finally submitted my bbdc form for basic theory course. i'm a late bloomer wat can i say. (still waiting for my boobies to grow) and now i have to book classes. why so troublesome one.
