Having the same chocholate cream chip.
Seeing the same interior.
Same cup, same straw.
Same table, same chairs.
But it's different.

I'm Malaysian
4 times I said this,"I'm Malaysian."
First time.
Food poisoning at midnight. Freaking painful. Was sent to hospital. Almost half dead I was. Lying on the bed, a doctor approached me and look at my profile, said,"Are you a Korean?" (What kinda F question at this moment?)
"Nope, I'm Malaysian."
Second time.
Completed my assignment. Going to present in front of professor through viva (aka oral presentation). Professor browsed through our names. "ABC, what a nice name you have" (It's a she)
"Ho Rhu Yann. Are you a Korean?"
"Nope, I'm Malaysian." (what the =.=)
Next, "XYZ, you definitely are Malaysian."
Haha
Third time.
Press conference. Reporter asked, "May I have your name?"
"Ho Rhu Yann"
"How to spell?"
"H..O...R...H...U...Y...A...N...N..." He's busy jotting it down.
"Oooo.....Are you a Korean?"
"Nope, I'm Malaysian."
Fourth time.
Last 2 days. Clerkship at TDM Department. Preceptor requested us to introduce ourselves.
My turn.
"I'm Rhu Yann."
"Yang mana?" Scrolling down the list. "Oooo...Ho-Rhu-Yann."
"Yes I am."
"Your name looks like Korean name."
"Is it? Haha." o.O (OS: I'm Malaysian)
Ho-Rhu-Yann with my look.
Does it make you feel that I'm a Korean? o.O

Three spicy calls
If you've ever been to Nando's, 3 different spicy levels or 4 they have. (Something's missing here), Mild, Hot and Super Hot.
On 21 Sept 2010 around 1.30pm. I got back to my room to refresh myself a little bit after oncology ward. Three spicy calls inspired my day.
First call from USM HEP.
Spicy level: Mild
They had confirmed my flight to Korea. 내가 한국에 갈거야! (In English: I'm going to Korea) Departing on 23th Oct to Korea. Presenting Green Lung and its ideology in 4th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities. Mayors and city developers from all over the world will be gathering in Gangnam-gu for 4 days to look into the issues of creating and sustaining a healthy setting in their respective countries. Our focus this time will be sharing Green Lung's stories and letting them discover the potential capacity of youths in creating mass change in hope that the authorities would engage and empower the youths as the change agents in any near future planning.
Second call from Pusat Racun Negara.
Spicy level: Hot
En Nazri asked if I could go down to KL and talk to UKM Green Lung. That would be definitely fantastic for me! I couldn't find a reason for myself to say no anyway. One, I could free myself from Kelantan for at least 3 days. Haha. And two, I'm glad that I could not only have the opportunity to share with more greenlungers, but also have the chance to motivate and inspire myself through talking to them. It's a motivating week for me! Even though I had to finish up my assignment at MidValley's McD and send to my group leader within 1 hour before my laptop battery's out.
Third call from New Straits Times.
Spicy level: Super Hot
Around 1.45pm when I was about to take a quick bath after the two calls, another call came in. Roz on the line, calling from NST. She asked if she could interview me for a column called "Inspiring Youth Malaysian". I was super excited about this though I know it might be something big for me at this moment. That's not the reason I should turn down the offer. Perhaps this would be the driving force to spur and motivate me to be a better me in the future especially this was done publicly.This had indeed spiced up my day!
p/s: This interview was not done face-to-face as she thought that I'm in KL, but through email.
Notice it or not? One thing in common. All these three calls were related to Green Lung. XD

Knowing new friends
On 12th September 11.30pm, I received a call from my friend (President of MyPSA). He asked if I could help to guide two students from Bangladesh as they were coming to Penang. For most instances, I would say yes. No exception this time too. Then I asked for the student's number so that I could know where and when to fetch them.
11.45pm. Messaged them. "Could you let me know where and when to fetch you tomorrow?"
Message replied. "We're now on the way to Penang from Malacca. Would be reaching Penang at 5.30am."
My instant response. "What? 5.30am?" Meaning to say I needed to wake up at 4am and drive to Penang by latest 5am. Gosh, this shouldn't be happening. I only had 4 hours left to sleep in fact during this break, I normally slept at 2am. Quite impossible for me to sleep at 12am and wake up at 4am. But what to do? Promise is a promise. I wasn't not happy. Just that I felt it's a sorrow not to sleep more than 8 hours. At the end of the day I'd been the tour guide and driver for around 18 hours from 6.30am to 12.00am though, it's a pleasure journey.
Met two new friends from Bangladesh, Rajiv and Siam from Pharmacy Students' Society for Bangladesh.
I had my first experience entering a mosque too. I was ashamed. I've been living in Malaysia for 23 years but it's foreign tourists who brought me into a mosque and explained the essence of Islam and the prayer. Rajiv zealously explained me the steps of performing the ablution and then led me into the praying hall and told me how the prayer should be carried out. Then I just stood behind the hall and observed Siam doing his prayer.
Again, it's a way to get myself closer to Malaysian culture and understand more about our national religion.
After that brought them to a Malay seafood restaurant to try out some Malay cuisine - Ikan bakar with Su Ee. That called a day off and it's already 12.00am. T.T I still had to drive back home. Haih~

BlogFest Asia in World Heritage, Penang
It's exciting to hear that BlogFest Asia is now boarding in Penang. I've been always complaining that why those exciting events always happen in KL but not in Penang and every time I have to think twice, thrice or even more before I've made my decision to attend (Almost pokai traveling here and there, to-and-fro).
And yeah, BlogFest Asia is finally satu-satu kalinya held in Georgetown this time and it's FREE! Totally free including free lunch, free dinner, free workshop. Walao, what a big frog hopping on the street. The FREE dinner is going to be held at QE II somemore. It's too much! My experience. This is seriously a great restaurant with great ambience and great food.
But I don't know why. I'm really sui...really really sui! This time it's my turn not in Penang. Argh~! I'm Kelantan...why?!!!
Nevermind, still this kinda "kap la" I have to share with you. Penang deserves more excitement. Please go and let me know what happen there. Click the link to know more.
