Dawn of A New Beginning

...was the theme for our graduation dinner MBBS Class of 2009. That night was bittersweet for me and I guess same goes for everyone else as well..after five long grueling years we've managed to struggled through and now we are currently at our very end of the road.

Even though I have this love/hate (oh well, mostly love) relationship with some of my batch mates, I know that I will miss all of them dearly when we part ways. I'm glad that our paths crossed and it was really nice knowing all of you.

Monkey see, Monkey do, Monkey never learn.

That's the mantra I've been hearing from one of the Ortho specialist for the past two weeks.
- Yes, that's harsh.
- Yes, it was hard.
- Yes, I have to wake up early in the morning just to be in the pass over room by 7.30am every single day.
- Yes, I have to stand on my feet the whole morning everyday (and afternoon occasionally).
- Yes, I do feel stupid when I don't remember certain parts of human anatomy.
- Yes, Taiping is boring and Tesco (or rather, the food court) was my ONLY source of food. Yang lain ada tikus. Atau kucing.
But...
- I have learn A LOT for the past two weeks.
- There was never a dull moment. Seriously. I have clowns as groupmates.
- For once, none of the doctors are scary and they are actually very nice and friendly.
- I got to scrub in for a major OT.
And..
- I actually exercised. The two orthopaedics surgeon actually made convinced me to climb up Maxwell Hill. Twice. Huhu. Not all the way to the top of the hill, tho'..just up til check-point number 17 but still, it was not too shabby for someone who hasn't been exercising for the past two years, ey?
Sigh..
I miss Orthopaedics Department Taiping Hospital already.
So, Ortho Ipoh Hosp, what do you have in store for me next week?

Berserabut

Serabutnya otak ku ini.
Banyak nya benda kene fikir.

1. Need to decide which hospital I should apply for housemanship since all the hospitals in KL and Selangor are full.
2. Orthopaedics is torturing me.
3. I just realized that I don't have the official Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia SPM certificate with me. And I don't even know if I've misplaced it or that I haven't even claimed it from school.
I need it by MONDAY.
Today's WEDNESDAY.
I won't be back in PJ til FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
4. Growth study project, and case write ups belum buat.
5. Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam's application is yet to be filled.
6. FINAL EXAM.

Serabutnya.

Taiping here I come (again)!

Life's been pretty mundane lately..it's all about classes, clinics, wards everyday.
Bleah~
I'm done with my paediatrics posting..yay for that but nay for the fact that I'm left with one more posting before finals. *palpitations*
End of posting exam was...hmmm...pretty tough I guess. I think I've bungkus-ed that paper (failed la tu). Short case exam was better. Dr. Tharam and Dr. Suhaimi (UKM) were the examiners and they asked me to assess the baby's developmental milestones. The baby is actually a preterm whereby she was born at 6 months. Honestly, I didn't even see that one coming! Normally they will give cases like pneumonia, nephrotic, cardiac cases, malnutrition, etc..but it was ok, Alhamdulillah.
My next and final posting is Orthopaedics. Posting tulang tulang dan otot otot. Huhu...I'll be in Taiping for the next two weeks, starting Monday. The last time I was there was for Obs &Gyn posting in phase 3A about a year ago. Didi said that Taiping has now "grown" and modernization has arrived there. There's Tesco, a mall and even a cinema! Wow.....=p

Where did the fireworks go?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

Hope this new year will bring all of us many many MANY more joy and happiness...The bar set by 2008 is not that high anyway, thus 2009 will definitely be a better year =) Amin....
I've read so many other bloggers stating and 'announcing' their resolutions, so why not just jump in the wagon, ey? Let's see...
- I would like to go to Europe again and this time, I shall go berjalan2 to London, Amsterdam, and Germany as well..but first I HAVE to pass my finals. Amin..........
- I wanna go visit my little sister in America.
- I want to graduate.
- I want to work in KL after I graduate.

Hmmm..tu aje lah for now, I guess..Mine looks more of a wish list rather than resolutions, no? =)
Whatever lah.
Surprise me, 2009! (Good surprises only please..)
