Oh no......

Hectic schedule these few months. Coming towards the end of my psychiatry rotation. Criteria to diagnose schizophrenia....depression....mania....bullimia nervosa......etc etc etc. Frantically revising for the upcoming exams. Obs & Gynae rotation next.

Handball takes a backseat for the time being....and I predict it will be for quite a long period of time.

Amidst the frantic flipping of textbook pages in the library, one can't help but notice the news plastered on the front page of every newspaper strewed on the desks. What happened to Nurin?

If you are not aware of what has been happening, do update yourself here, here, and here.

Rage and protest against what was done to this little girl have swept the nation. Many have called for closer scrutiny of our moral values. One can't help but think reform must happen at the grassroot level. Our whole mentality must change...as a nation. Some might argue that a few bad apples are spoiling the lot. But for such an atrocity to happen????!!!!!

Anyway, I'm not here to point any fingers. Neither am I here to debate about a topic which I might not be familiar with.

Just hope to make the handball playing community in Malaysia mull over a few things. Are we able to make a difference? I want to suggest that everyone is able to make a difference in our society. Even when doing what we enjoy. We don't have to go around donating money..or go out and preach moral values. We can make a difference by simply ensuring we uphold the standards of sportsmanship on the court. Not only the players but also the coaches, the referees and the organizers. Most times, our attitude on the court reflect our lives off the court.

Examine ourselves! Lead by example.

Lost my train of thought.....

To make a diagnosis of schizophrenia....the patient must have hallucinations, delusions, thought block, thought insertion.............


p.s. pray that such a horrific event would never occur again.
