I was finishing my first draft of my English report on umbilical cord blood banking in Malaysia when I came across this whilst reading an article in the Medical Journal of Malaysia :
“In Malaysia , the experience of umbilical transplant was first reported by Chan from Universiti Malaya who reported the first successful umbilical cord transplant in 1999 involving a 25 months old beta-thalassaemia major boy.”
I stumbled upon a note I wrote in 2008, on goals for myself - 2009 and beyond.
According to that plan, in 2011 :
- I’d have a Masters degree
- I’d be working overseas
- I’d have finished paying off my PTPTN loan
- I’d be finally ready to have a baby
I guess life doesnt always work out as planned :)
Got an email with ‘URGENT!!’ as subject.
It contained an instruction with no urgency.
Sorry, I’ll be ignoring your ‘URGENT!!’ emails from now onwards.
Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.

It’s 4am and I’m studying thermochemistry for today’s quiz.
If this how life is going to be like for the next 5.5 years then bring it on!
Life has been a bit slightly off these few days - I’ve been late (thus marked as absent) many times to the 1st class due to my inability to wake up early enough, to get things packed up fast enough and to handle Lyla’s separation anxiety when she’s being dropped off at the nursery. Things went out of rhythm during the semester break.
They say that habits are formed after 21 days. It’s Week 3, day 3 of the new semester. 9 days of adjustment to go?
I remember being so alone, that the only friends I had were on DVD - all 10 seasons of them.
Statistics class, on scatter plot and bi-variate distribution
Teacher : “There’s usually a correlation between a husband’s height and his wife’s tallness”
Students : *nod* *nod*
Teacher : “A tall woman usually marries a taller man”
Students : *nod* *nod*
Teacher : “But sometimes there are cases where a petite woman may marry a man who is…. a lot taller”
Students : *nod* *nod*
Teacher : “And the same is true, the other way round”
Students : *chuckle* *chucke*
Teacher : *looking slightly annoyed* . Hey that’s not funny, that’s LOVE!

I laughed so hard inside. She’s a tall lady, I think she’s speaking from experience ;)
