.. in UNIMAS Kuching campus, hogging on their internet connection. Huhu.
Yeay baby, passed the exams and flew to Kuching two days ago! On MAS, and boy I was lucky to get on an Airbus (we don't get airbus often for domestic flights yo :P), and went lepaking with cousins for the weekend.
Wanted to do some retail therapy, but figured that I shouldn't go on spending every single ringgit in my bank account in one day. Haha! :)
And I just finished my first day electives, the doctor attached to us was a waaaayyyyy cooooollllll physician! Telling us to go around Kuching, telling us where to eat and where to hang out. :p Hahahahahahahhahahaha.
Keh. Probably would go for some seafood tonight. :P

Ask me a question...
... but, I might not be able to answer you. Heh.
So much for asking me the question in the first place, huh?
Through out the postings I had in 4th year, I've gotten used to the fact that my face has that statement written on it, the statement "Ask me a question"
Why do I think so?
In O&G posting for instance, every single time we have a class with Dr R, without fail, my name would be the first to be called out to answer a question. Without fail.
And even in Peadiatrics posting, during a visiting lecturer was giving a lecture on common orthopedic problems in children, my name was also called out first to answer the question. And many other questions following the initial question.
Not to mention those times where I would be approached by strangers along the way when I am walking to the hospital or to Grand Seasons (where our lectures are given), asking about which direction to go to get to their destination.
Well, whatever.
That statement also goes out for the recent examinations I had just finish.
With my examiner asking me multiple questions, some I could answer and some which I couldn't. T_T *sigh*
But I guess I never did regret anything I've done in the examinations, I've tried my best to outperform myself (my previous examination records I mean). :P LOL
I'll be flying off to Kuching in a matter of two days (hopefully!), and will be starting my 6 weeks of electives (and fun!)
It just came to me that the very start of the electives means the end of the fourth year. And the starting of the fifth year. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Scary! Becoming the seniors! And soon to be doctors!
I can barely believe it. I could still remember my first posting in fourth year in Psychiatry, meeting troubled patients, facing the dean of my faculty for my exams. Then I proceeded on for Family Medicine, and on to Community Medicine, where I spent 6 weeks in Kuala Pilah. That was definitely memorable. (Trips to Jeram Tengkek, the barbeque sessions, the gossiping, the trip to Port Dickson)
Then I got back to KL, geared up for the busiest posting ever in fourth year, O&G. Spent a lot of time reading, slaving hours in the labour room in the hospital to get a chance to fully deliver babies, and trying to catch up to the pace our lecturers expected us to be. It was freakingly hectic. Not to mention emotional. There were countless of times where I was so stressed out I could cry at mere actions. 10 weeks of sheer stress and it was a wild, wild rollercoaster ride.
I moved on to Pediatrics, meeting babies, children and adolscent patients. From not even knowing how to hold a baby, or to interact with children, I'm pretty good at it now. This posting really changed my perspective of this little kids, I used to think they were just real loud. And troublesome. But maybe I just didn't know how to handle them. :P
Every single posting had an end posting exam.
And I had my last end posting exam yesterday. For fourth year.
Time pasts by so fast.
Along the whole fourth year, a few coursemates have gotten engaged, and some planning weddings in the very near future.
Everyone's personality seems to really shine during this year.
Some great, some not so likable.
But personality as it is, never the less.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole fourth year, despite being reduced to tears a few times this year, breaking the egoistic facade :P But I guess it has really made me grow up. And realize how hard it is to survive in this world. There will always be people watching your every move, waiting for that single mistake to happen, so you will tumble to the ground.
Whatever it is, I'm hoping for the best in the coming elective posting, and the best for the coming final year.
Bottomline : 4 years in medical school and counting yo. :)

apa-apa jelah
Time time malas nak update blog, ataupun nak update tapi tak tau nak cakap apa.
Skrang ni nak study pun malas. Yang tak malas tu bab makan. Tengok sume benda sedap rasa nak makan. I can so feel myself getting fatter by the second. Tapi peduli apa, asal hati happy. Nanti aku pegi ar gym every single day. And workout sama level ngan athlete Malaysia. *bluerghhh .. as if la*
And tak malas bab nak tido. Tido je keje. Walaupun cukup tido leh gak tido lagi. Kalo boleh nak tido je keje tiap ari. Tapi banyak pulak responsibilities yang ada sekarang nih. Tanggungjawab terhadap Tuhan, ibubapa, pembayar2 cukai kat Malaysia ni yang bagi duit untuk belanja.. banyak tu.. jadi kena jugak la buat keje yang sepatutnya dilakukan oleh pelajar, iaitu belajar.
Tapi kadang-kadang rasa banyak benda lagi best nak buat daripada belajar, terutama time-time nak exam ni. Macam keluar tengok wayang, sms orang lain, tengok tv, update blog, tido. Macam-macam la.
Dugaan je sume ni. Bila dah habis exam nanti, ada masa nak buat sume benda, nanti mesti tak tau nak buat apa. Memang mcm ni la hidup belajar kan?
Tak tau nak update apa dah. Tapi update gak kali ni sbb bosan tengok blog sendiri asyik ada entry yang sama je. Haish.

Emo jap
The exam is near. Which is practically a cue for me to stay at the table more, spending hours reading, revising over and over til I feel like vomiting. Seriously.
Studying medicine is 40% hardwork and persistence, 35% reading, 20% going to hospitals for experience and 5% fun. (roughly) -- came for knowledge of healing, staying for the fun
That would be my equation. You'll go reading and reading until you could actually feel your eyes roll to the back of your head.
That is why, during times near to exam, I would try best to keep to myself, and most importantly not try to offend anyone.
I am one of those people who believe in karma, as one lecturer of mine, the dearest Dr. R had mentioned, (not in her exact words, but I summarized it) " If you have been good to people all the while, during the exams it will show. You might get a case which you are very familiar with, and get examiners who are okay. That is just how it goes. "
That's why I could not comprehend the actions of SOME other people who just wants to offend others when it is close to the exams.
Maybe they find it fun, and interesting.
And most people might think that those who learn to be healers would actually have great personality and attitude too, but it doesn't work that way. I have met some of the worse people in my life in this medical school (so far, my almost four years of being here), and these are the people who are going to treat your very ailments when you are sick. (Unfortunately the syllabus doesn't teach you manners, yo)
How crazy is that? Wouldn't you be afraid that they might just stick a freaking syringe at your carotid and instead of healing you kill you instead because "they were having a bad day".
Despite how I appear to be, my heart is actually quite easily hurt, I am easily affected during stress. And I could not concentrate well if I'm hurt.
However, this time around, I seriously don't give a fuck. Say whatever shit you have to say, scribble as much as you want in red ink on the freaking whiteboard, I don't give a damn. It has not been an easy task to sleep under the same roof with all you, but I did it anyway. I pray that all of you pass you exams so I don't have to look at your faces anymore.
*takes a deep breath*
Now, back to study. Kuching awaits yo.
