To change or NOT to change

Change is a word that describes the forever constant and perpetual innovation of a specific item or circumstance. Simply put, change is a process that occurs everyday at any point in time, without people even realizing it's occurrence.

From a baby we change into young learners, mimicking and slowly developing our own cognitive ability. By the time we know it, we're already in the dilemmas of teenage-hood. Scouring for the most beautiful girlfriend and engaging ourselves into activities that would slowly define our permanent character.

Jump forward past college and obtaining the dream career with a scroll that not only honors our parents desire for our lives but also take us on a path away from our comfort zone. We then only really start to realize that change has happened.

We weren't that same toddler in diapers or class monitor. We evolved into a person of contribution to society and one that prolongs mankind's existence by starting our own families with children.

But let us not mistake that despite change being flowery, it may also lead us unto a narrow and dim path where regrets will crop up, pushing us onto the edge of the tallest peak in the vicinity. Contemplating the decision to change our life with death. Interesting isn't it?

We live our lives aiming for the next "A" or 4.0 GPA, pay-rise and the next luxurious holiday, but only the few aim to change their lives from zero to hero. And thus i leave you with this,

What's your CHANGE today?

P.s. Should i change my blog layout? Haha. Have a gr8 day!

Damn cheating boyfriends

People give their heart and emotions to that other person who they deemed to be worthy of it. In this current day, finding the right person is like striking a lottery. Many people end up playing with the other person's emotions. With lies, false promises, and worst of all - cheating with another person.





Cheating may just be as simple as a kiss on the cheek or all the way downright dirty sex. Whichever it may be, being the victim of such a truant lover is nothing to shout about. It just ends up with a bitter taste in the mouth and lots of questions mostly causing self doubt. Insecurities will arise and the most common questions would be:

"Why me? 
What have I done? 
Am I not good enough?"




If you've ever been in such a situation, my sincerest sympathy. That said, I made a video just sharing a view point on this. In a gist, calling cheaters ass holes who aren't worthwhile, and telling those cheated on to be happy the have a bad-hat out of their life, and those cheating with - there's a high likelihood they'd end up playing victim in the near future.





do watch and enjoy! share with friends who have been in a similar situation or are currently going through this hardship!

Damn cheating boyfriends




btw, go watch the movie - love, rosie (beautiful show)

Father, son & alcohol

A father taught his son about the evils of drinking alcohol. He put a worm in a glass of water and another in whisky. The worm in the water survived while that in the alcohol curled up. He asked his son, "what do you learn from that?" His son replied, "when you drink alcohol, you won't have worms."
Haha. Got this from a pastor at a church in Johor Bahru. Funny. :)

5 years, Officially a Doctor! MBBS

As the title goes, this morning I woke up as Benedict Sachdev the medical student from IMU.
I will be sleeping tonight as Dr Benedict Sachdev MBBS (IMU).

It has been a long journey of 5 years.

Began on the 28/2/08 
2 and a half years pre-clinical phase1 at Bukit Jalil IMU campus
2 years clinical phase 2 at IMU Seremban Campus and half a year at IMU Batu Pahat Campus
Ended on the 28/2/13


The past years have been full of wonderful memories from the

mind blowing orientation of ragging and bullying, 

enjoying the daily 2 hour lectures as a holiday, 

memorizing FLM's at the library, 

practicing clinical skills at the clinical skills unit, 

representing the batch, house team and IMU in sports, 

attending life changing talks, 

having tea in the library and hanging out at the student pool lounge,

rushing assignments like a mad person,

waking up as early as 5 am to get to the hospital,

preparing presentations one after another,

enjoying my life staying next to the beach,

watching movies at the cinema on a near weekly basis,

playing games, youtubing and making videos,

talking with people of superior intellect and ... ,

embracing the government health care system with my now fellow colleagues,

sharing memories and tears with patients,

witnessing life and it's middle and end,

travelling back and forth as the only crazy person from Port dickson to Seremban on a daily basis,

running home on weekends to spend time with family and friends,

studying last minute and passing by God's grace,

staying for the first time in my life with a housemate,

food hunting and tasting with buddies,

hanging out at the shopping mall,

football gang/futsol gang,

sitting exams one after another,

and lastly - enjoying this experience of learning with wonderful friends, lecturers, staff, and most importantly family & God.

Truly I tell you, this course at IMU (international medical university) has been life changing, maturity growing, knowledge overwhelming, fun and leisure filled, and lastly one of a kind!



Thank you my dear family, friends, colleagues, teachers, lecturers, university, hospital and clinic staff, and everyone else who have played even a minor role in my journey at IMU. Most importantly thank you God who without I would not have become Doctor Benedict Sachdev!

Congratulations MeDt108 / C2/10! Press on and be a good impact to society. Always remember, you can do it! FAR OUT!


for those wondering, i got a family medicine case for my exam with ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and alcoholism. I was asked about both my obs&gynae as well as orthopaedics portfolio.
