Everybody Loves Youngyew

[youngyew]

Or so I hope.

I am not sure whether some have interpreted Leen's thread as some sort of self-publicity or attention seeking behaviour, but I am sure she meant well. Therefore I shall create another thread for myself, so that she doesn't appear to be the only one doing the "meet the moderator" thread and perceived as vain or anything like that.

I am a full time procrastinator, part-time ReCom addict, and I hope to be a zero-time medical student. (Sigh). Let's know each other better!

p/s: Of course not only moderators are going to introduce themselves in ReCom, I would love to see everyone know each other better too. Do make good use of our social and entertainment corner for social purposes.

Eer... -.-" Zero response here.

I will be the first...
Hai..

[Xon]

I second. Xp

A cliche question here: why do you want to be a doctor?

And i always thought medical students have a hectic and busy life... Wondering why you seems so free most of the time? ( Being ReCom addict and dedicated blogger )

I kind of wrote about "why I chose medicine" in the past...

But to keep it short, it's basically due to a few main reasons. One is influence from family members (a few of my siblings are doctors). But the other important reason was that I love helping people, and the satisfaction of seeing something I did that works. Yes it sounds cliche but anyone who knows me well enough would understand my passion for providing helps.

As for being ReCom addict and a blogger... Eeer... -.-" That's my weakness actually. The reason is because I am an incurable addict. I ought to stop posting more here. Instead I'm planning to stop frequenting ReCom for the next few months as I have a research report coming up really really soon.

176 billion ringgit was the total budget for 2008, 42 billion from which was for education (around 25%, which is close to 30%).

Youngyew, may you answer some of my questions specially for you? (Some quite stupid questions... As you are really admirable for your knowledge and your language ability.)
1. Are you english-educated?
2. How old are you?
3. Are you a JPA scholar? or any other corporates' scholars?
4. How can I improve my language ability, i mean that, English proficiency.

[youngyew]

Moved the two posts.

You are flattering me... There are many ReCommers out there who are more knowledgeable and write much better than me. Anyway, for your questions:

1. I was Chinese-educated and went to Chinese school up to Form 5.

2. Hint: <------

3. I am under JPA.

4. In terms of writing, the best way and possibly the only way to improve your command is to read and write more. There isn't really any shortcut to improve one's language. Learning vocabs and memorising sentences might help you write one or two good sentences, but even so if you do not have a good grounding in your language, the one or two better words and sentences are going to stick out like a sore thumb - it can make you sound "fake". Also, some people have the habit of applying obscure vocabs they learned off thesaurus, but often they are used in the wrong context, so those vocabs actually magnify their incompetency in the language.

Sorry, that's my first impression of your thread. When I saw the title 'Everyone Loves Youngyew', I thought, gee, this guy has some crazy fans out there.

Then I saw the thread starter's name..

Anyway, hi hi. I joined this forum recently and thought it was the kinda 'look look see see abandon' forum.. then over the past few days I find myself logging in more and more..

Great job, mods! This is the only forum I've been where people don't get scolded for going off-topic. You mods ever so kindly just move posts to where they ought to be. Hehe. Will post at the other mod's threads when I've more energy later.. just thought I'll start with the most perasan thread.
