Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths, only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

Why Medicine over Engineering ??
Here's a copyrighted story...
There's this car mechanic working in his shop.
then, a cardiologist entered the shop.
the mechanic got curious and ask the doctor
"why are you getting paid more then i m ? we both are doctors, it's just that i fix cars and u fix human. i take out the engine which refers to the heart which is malfunctioning, out of the car, which refers to the human and fix in a new engine for the car. u do the same job too. but why r u getting paid MORE ??"
the cardio smiled and said only one sentence.
"try doing it when the heart is working"
the doctor then winks and kissed good bye
the mechanic must had been speeeechless eyy..??
that is why you should choose medicine over engineering ~!
i know what must you been thinking.. i'm taking medicine right ???
WRONG ! that's the last career i'll choice... you'll know why when u choose it ... =) *blink blink*

Life
How's college ? How's SAM ? How's Taylor's ?
wellll......... xD
College ??? it's just a freaking building.. =.=
SAM ?? it's just a freaking programme.. =.= "
Taylor's ?? it's just a freaking college .. =.= " "
lol... so lame..
despite the fact that college is from 8am to 4pm, 6 hours a day (express class) , we have no proper classroom, it's ookaaaaaaaaayyyyy i guessss...
butt.... form 5 life was still the bestest of the bestest, funnest of the funnest, coolest of the coolest, memorablest of the memorablest....
lets start allll over...
pre-school...
i was too young.. tadika chim was too small.. i dun remember a thing.. =.= "
std 1 to std 6
puay chai.... they said it's a good school.. but u tell me... still... not very memorable... except the fact that me and my std6 frens crash our class room on our std 6 graduation.. lol.. oh and that i failed my uprs.
form 1
dam blurr.. the new kid.. or as they call it... freshmans... duno anything.. get lost in smdu
form 2
not bad.. quite fun... but still.. afternoon session..
form 3
morning session.. wake up early the morning... pmr stress.. not too bad...
form 4
new subjects came in.. quite blurr. but not as bluurrr as form 1...
FORM 5
the highlight of the life time !!!
despite the SPM stress... it was the best year of my life.. but still.. spm brought us all together closer... well at least my class... 5 kempas 08 ~ together wit pn rafidah, our class teacher, pn zulaikha, cik liang, pn khoo, pn wong, pn tang, pn loh, pn paramjeet, pn shaja..... good year... fun year... too bad it only lasted a year...
too much form 5 memories are inside me...
nasional service
one word to describe it.. DONt GO !
taylors - SAM - express class
all of us (E1) (my class) has forgotten that we're march intake which is an express class.. but teachers or should i say lecturers kept reminding us .. =.= ""
the famous quote
"you all are march intake students.. blah blah blah and blab and blab and blab.. =.= "
that how we must study harder then jan and july intakes and wtv..
it's fun thought...... a little... after ns.. it was either sam march intake or adp june intake for me... but i just had to choose march intake.. =.= ""
if not i would be having fun partying everyday right now.. like zy .. ='(...
but my collegee life has just started... and it's about to end soon though.. but i'm enjoying it..
like what one of my class joker always says
"life is tough"
