Sunway College , Subang Jaya always remain in my memory as the place where my daughter Eileen had to slog for her A-Level Exams in order to gain a place in a medical school in UK/Ireland .Each time I pass-by I would always remember the place where every week I would pick her up or send her back to her hostel .It is a posh college which is affordable only for the elites or the rich . Admittedly ,I would not have afford to send my daughter there if it had not been for the schoolarship awarded by the Public Service Department of Malaysia .Although it is a good college ,nevertheless I was always worried during the two years she was there - worried over her studies whether she could make it with straight As in her A-Levels ( because with that result only would guarentee her a place in a medical school in the UK/Ireland ). But this daughter of mine never seems to worry at all . She kept on doing her 'routines' - visiting her friends , window shopping at Mid- Valley , chit-chatting for hours over the phone ( her own calls came up to almost RM.200.00 the last month before she left for Ireland ) . She was too close and more attched to her friends than to her own family without realizing the fact that friends are only around when we are well off and successfull ,while family/parents are always around irrespective in what situation we are in .
However I must commend her because she is an intelligent girl although a bit 'malas' . I know she is intellgent because she scored A for her Mathematics . My girl , in medical school you can't afford to be lazy any more because there are so many things to learn and to remember .You have to study hard .
( By the way Sunway College Subang Jaya is also known for the many suicidal deaths. On 18th Oct.2004 another student by the name of Khairi Nawawi , 22 years the son of a doctor from Johor Bahru was found dead at 7.15 pm after falling from the 19th floor of the hostel apartment .)
Now that she is finally in a medical school in Ireland , most of the worries are off my shoulder . However , I would be lying if I am no more worried about her . It will only be completely off my shoulder once she qualifies or graduates as a doctor. Although she is a smart lady but smartness alone cannot guarantee success . I pray to God that He will always protect her and guide her on the right path.
My youngest daughter Ezreen is following behind her sister's footsteps in the postive way . Unlike her sister she is very hard working , homely type and has few friends . Her trial SPM exams showed a remarkable improvement .She has just attended an interview for an overseas MARA scholarship . Discreetly, she also wants to be a doctor specialising in pathology . I hope and pray that she would be successful in her interview and her SPM exams and her ambition .
Our pet cat Brunny is missing from home .One morning(3 days ago) after 'sahur' (last meal before fast ) my wife let him out of the house to ease himself . From that moment onwards he was not seen.We searched everywhere but was never to be seen .He could have lost his way or eaten by the python .
