You can quote the Bible all you want—there is certainly nothing wrong with that. If you do it sincerely then it would feel inspiring. But the way you flaunt your beliefs is faddish and bothersome. Even bordering on vain, and I am being kind with my words here. (If I did not encounter it in such a regular basis, I probably won’t feel as nauseated and frustrated as I do right now.) And I...

Blue Light
You’ll find it hiding in shadows You’ll find it hiding in cupboards It will walk you home safe every night It will help you remember If that’s way it is Then that’s the way it is I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes What could I ever run to? Just tell me it’s tearing you apart Just tell me you cannot sleep And you didn’t even notice When the sky turned...

Waging wars between the poet and the beat
It’s probably just another one of those nights. Too many things to do, and my perception of time has once again been skewed so much so that I feel desperate and restless. Ever since my roommate left (and even before that) I’ve been so used to staying in this huge room alone. But the sting of reality is cruel. It creeps up to you during these dark, silent, unguarded moments. It’s...

Savour the sorrow to soften the pain, sip on the Southern rain As I do, I don’t look, don’t touch, don’t do anything
But hope that there is a you

pre-clerkship observership thingie
We’re assigned in the Surgery Ward today. I’m not too excited about it, honestly, since I’m not a fan of surgery. Apologies to my dad the surgeon. It’s just too complicated, and much too manual for me. I prefer medicine to be a thinking game as much as possible.
I guess I’m just too afraid to touch people—to open them up and to end up destroying them instead...

Haruki Murakami on Running
One of my favourite sections in Runners World magazine is the ‘I’m a Runner’ section which consists of interviews of well-known folks in various fields who are also runners. Haruki Murakami gave an interview in which he shared his running experience, below are some highlights from the interview:
“One aspect that I have gained from running in the past 22 years that has most pleased me is that...

yes I ate a bowl of leaves for lunch
This year, I’ve decided to become a pescetarian. I will readily admit that I started giving up meat due to a desire to be thinner, but eventually I decided that it will probably be better for myself to learn to deny these things that I don’t need to live. And also, for the world. (I think it’s reasonable to believe that it’s more environment-friendly to eat more vegetables...

something I realised while drinking milk tea with...
It’s cliche, but people can walk in and out of other people’s lives so easily. Even as you look at a person in front of you and believe his realness to be permanent—his voice, his unique speech characteristics, his choice of clothing, the shape of his shadow, the sound of the keys of his cellphone while texting, all the microscopic and gigantic details of a person, the entire...
