Trust me...Ini baru sikit wehhhh! And I'm tired of thinking why shall I need to memorize all these. They aren't crap, I know. But come on, I gave up my dreams of becoming a lawyer and even a forensic pathologist, years back.Okay,not exactly.. Still will give some thoughts about doing forensic pathology, though some [but many] said, it isn't worth it since there will be no private hospital will hire such expert to work under them.All dead body send to government hospital laaaa weehhh,they said.
