A Day Out to Times Square~~

I've been too boring as staying at home for almost 24 hours. Finally I decided to hang out since this month is mega sales month... I thought I can get a chance to shop in Times Square...

I met up my friend and settled our trip stuff.. and then we head on to Times Square to meet my other friend... We have lunch in Gasoline. This was my first time here. I kinda like this place, very unique style of design. The food here was so-so... Hehe...

We took a picture in the Gasoline using the time mode function. A waitress nearly blocking the camera when we was taking this photo... I can't do anything but just say, "Arghh..." trying to get the attention of the waitress... Haha... She did not block the camera, but the picture came out was quite blur... Maybe the flash was not on..

After we finished our lunch, I thought I could take the chance to shop around. But... two strangers came and approached us. From my previous experience, I would usually try to avoid all these strangers. When they stopped my friend, I tried to walk away... Hehe... When I heard they said they were looking for a "model".... I was thinking, "Haha... Of course I'm not the target they wanna look for."

Actually they were looking for model for their make-up class. Haha... The girl said it only took us for less than 2 hours. Since I am super duper free, I don't mind to help them out. And thus, one of my friends and I went with them.

The way they are looking for model, is similar to the way we are looking for patients in hospital to be our "victims". Not everyone is kind enough and willing to become the "victims". However, we always need them to improve our skills. *A big applause to all the patients I've clerked and examined and also those we've "used" to discuss.*

The guy who helped me to make up kept asking us if we were rushing. I am of coz not rushing as my time is too much that I dunno where to spend. Haha... but anyhow I need to be back home before dinner time. I thought I would have time to shop a little bit after the make-up session if it ended around 4.

Everything was out of my plan as the session ended before 6pm. My eye shadow was changed for three times as it was not approved by the instructor. 1st one was gold colour, and was not approved as my eye looked swollen with the colour. Then it was changed to blue colour, which was not suitable for the theme, and finally the silver colour was approved.. but there were many other minor mistakes... And it took so long to make a double eye-lid. Sorry to the guy because of my "sepet", he has to spend a lot of time on my eyes. My eyes were so sored after the make-up session...

This is the "end product":

So in the end, I didn't get to shop at all!!!!!!!! There goes mega sales!!!!! Bye Bye.... *sob*

打小人

打小人是一種流行於香港、广东民間的巫術儀祀。希望藉由此種巫術儀祀來驅逐、報復所謂的「小人」。


今天第一次打小人，是陪着妈妈去的。常常在香港电视剧，看到打小人的画面。演员拿着木屐，打小人纸，然后口中念念有词，说什么＂打你的小人头，打你的小人手＂之类的。


在马来西亚，打小人并没有那么戏剧化。只是拿着自己穿的拖鞋，打小人纸。也没有骂什么小人头的。嘿嘿！

我也实在太无聊了。上网查查何谓打小人，在维基百科找到这些：

整个打小人仪式可分为八个部分：

奉神：利用简单的香烛供奉天地神明。（那么简单，这当然有啦！）

禀告：将委托人之姓名、生辰八字等写在百解灵符上。若欲打特定小人，则将特定小人之姓名、生辰八字、照片、衣物等可以代表特定小人身份之物书写或放置于小人纸上。（有写委托人的姓名、岁数和地址，但没有写生辰八字啦。也没有什么可以写特定小人的东西。不过如果让我写，我也不知道要写谁。）

打小人：利用各种象征物如委托者或施术者之鞋、宗教象征武器甚至是香枝或香烟等殴打、伤害小人纸。小人纸分为小人纸、男人丁、女人丁、五鬼纸等。（有有有！拿拖鞋打小人纸，还男左女右。男生用左拖鞋打，女生用右拖鞋打。）

祭白虎：若在惊蛰日打小人则须祭白虎。以黄色的纸老虎代表白虎，纸身画有黑色斑纹，口角则画有一对獠牙。祭祀一般是使用小块生猪肉沾上猪血，放入纸制白虎口中（喂纸老虎），当老虎吃饱后便不会再伤害人。而拜神婆亦会以肥腻的生猪肉抹在纸老虎的嘴上，使纸老虎口中充满油水，使其不能再张口伤人。有些地方祭完白虎之后会将纸制白虎烧掉或用铜剑将纸制白虎的头切掉。（嗯，没有看到什么纸老虎的。可是是有老虎的石像。嘘，小小声地说，之前我还以为那是狗的石像。歹势啦！嘿嘿！）

化解：将一切污蔑、灾害等以撒芝麻、豆子等小物体或烧纸船、百解灵符等以消灾解厄。
祈福：以红色的贵人纸为委托者祈求贵人帮助。（我撒绿豆，嘿嘿！）

进宝：将元宝、金银纸等焚化供奉鬼神。（有！）

打杯：“掷筊”，将两个半月形，一面平坦、一面向外弯出的木块掷出。两块平坦向上则为阳杯，向下则为阴杯，一下一上为圣杯。出现圣杯表示仪式完成。（我去的并没有这个仪式。）

就这样，烧完金纸以后，整个仪式就完成了！相信大家应该不会有机会参与这样的仪式，这次，我自己本身也大开眼界了。

Finally...

Finally, graduate from 5 years of medical school. Time just past so fast, it seemed like yesterday when I was just started phase 1 in Bukit Jalil. By the way, IMU in Bukit Jalil has changed a lot, became more grand and more campus-like feel. So jealous of those juniors... dress code not so strict, inside the library has cafeteria etc.. Haha.. but their fees are more expensive!!

It's good to hear that my whole batch 100% pass the exam. This is the 1st and ever for my whole batch to pass together.. Congratulations, C2/06!! Well done!! Haha..

I think I was quite lucky.. Although I got a case with multiple problems, the problems my patient has are all simple and common. Thank God!! Kakaka... And the portfolios they asked are those I am quite confident with. And all my examiners were internal.. So I know all of them, and thus not so panicked.

But I think I got PTSD now.. Haha.. I kept recalling the study break period when I was preparing for my exam. I was so stress and so scared.. But everything doesn't matter now, because I have passed my exam!! Hooray!!

Will have 2 months of break now. Dunno what to do yet.. wanna look for a temporary job but am so lazy..keke..
