It is not because my bum is getting bigger.

I've changed my mind. I'm going to the induction afterall...the letter arrived yesterday and after heavy and loooong discussion with my parents, and also numerous phone calls to discuss about this with my friends (or rather, colleagues now), I've decided to end my holiday next week. The pros definitely, tremendously outweight the cons of going.
I've been sent to Maran, Pahang for BTN..that will be from 4th til 8th of May and will then go to Mayang Sari Resort in Port Dickson for the next 2 weeks for the Induction Course. They gave me a whole lot of list of things to bring and most of them ends up in my "things to buy" list. I now need white baju kurung, a few track bottoms (I need to get the one that makes a lot of noise...the one that makes "whoosh whoosh" noise when you walk because it is essentially water resistant), long sleeves t-shirts, black covered shoes and a few other things.
I have 3 more days left and tons of things to do.
Let's not call it a holiday anymore.

One more month

Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA) called me at 4.30pm today and they asked me if I can go for the induction programme (read: mula bekerja) on the 4th of May. I was so shocked that they would call me THIS early. I asked her (the person who called me) if she could give me time to think about it and confirm with her later, she said ok and I hung up. After 5 blardy minutes she called me back if I have made my decision. Wahhh...bila nak hantar orang kerja cepat aje...nak buat SPM certificate baru kene tunggu one month.
According to her, the places for this month is limited and it is ok for me to postpone my induction until June. Of course I would postpone it! Hello? It has only been 3 weeks after my finals! I deserve to be at home until my brain bleeds out of boredom, no?

Note: For those who does not know...

Induction is something like BTN and it is for 2 weeks. Going for induction means you've agreed to work immediately and as for housemen, on the last day of that 2 weeks, you'll get a letter saying which hospital you have been posted and you need to report yourself there within a day or two. If you don't go, you are basically is on "Cuti Tanpa Kebenaran". =) Pandai tak Kementerian Kesihatan? Pergi induction baru tau dapat hospital mana...

Finally! A Night Out With The Girls

The Bachelorettes =)
(Credit to: Zaza)

Every girl would agree that it is always awesome to go on a night out with your girl friends regardless where the place is and what event were being held.
It was our compulsary once a month get-together and thanks to Zaza's cousin, Aush (the one who gives us the traffic updates in fly fm) we went to Zouk last night for Cleo's 50 most eligible bachelor. It was a themed event and the theme was Ghetto Chic. I wore a LBD with gold accessories thinking that it was "sheek" as oppose to "chick". Inilah angkara banyak sangat tengok TV seperti ANTM and Project Runway...kan dah salah...
Henywayyyy...sadly the event was a drag. The place was rather small to accomodate the guests...we couldn't see what was going on as everybody was standing and the "stage" did not look much like a stage at all..it was placed in the middle, at the same level as the floor. Plus, they were playing too many games. It was more suited to be held in a mall or somewhere else. We sat there for about an hour, chat a bit, drank revive (free) and the new twisties (also free..haha) and finally decided to leave and have supper in Changkat.
We had our supper at The Social. and we talked, talked, took pictures and experiment with the cameras (goyang goyang...funny sight), talked some more, took more pictures, all that lah.
A girls' night out with them never fails to be anything but awesome. Faratiya has been assigned to organize the next one...haha..let's see what she will plan (or has planned?) or us...=)

The Hippocrates Oath Day

I know it's a bittttt lambat...sorry for the delay..hopefully it's not THAT basi yet....hehe...Henyways, here are the pictures taken during the Oath taking ceremony which was held in Dewan Ungku Aziz, Dental Faculty, UM..Some of you might have seen it in one of my FB albums. An amazing, amazing day it was. I can't believe I'm finally a graduate..and I actually have a license to practice medicine (temporary license that is; the real convo is in August and that's when we'll receive our permanent license...but still...). It was so surreal to be in the same hall as with the other 200 new doctors, and even more surreal when they called up my name to the stage.
It was truly an unbelievable day, but really, that day, I dedicated it to my parents. It was their day. It's them whom we were really celebrating. Without them, their prayers and blessing, I would not be here.
I can't thank you enough, Mama and Baba. Heart you both. A lot.

Me, receiving the temporary license from Toh Puan Aishah Ong.

Us with the proud parents


WE DID IT!!! =)

How many boxes do I need?

I'm currently back in Ipoh...back in the place I've been calling home away from home. Back in the oh-so-familiar room. I know I have this love-hate thing with Ipoh for the past 5 years but I'll miss this place for sure. The memories, the experiences and the ups and downs will ALL be cherished. I know I'll be back whenever I have the time just to have some Wange wange, Moven Peak's black pepper sizzling chicken chop and Hollywood's Kuey Tiaw...ye, nama kedai makan tu Hollywood.
I'll be here for the next 2 days to pack up my things and also to see all my lecturers before I leave for good.
Btw, Maria blogged about what went down on that scary nerve wrecking results day. Click here to read about it.
Mar, I wasn't there because I was being a blardy chicken. There you go. =p Hehehe..

5 years gone so fast..

Syukur Alhamdulillah...
I am overwhelmed by everything that happened today and also yesterday. There should be a word to describe exactly how relieved, thankful and happy I am right now...=))

Saturday come quick

I am mentally and physically exhausted. Drained.
The final exam has taken it's toll on me and I still have another clinical exam to go this Saturday. I just want to finish everything, get it done and over with.
After those CPC, SAT, OSCE and long case, I have absolutely no confidence at all that I can get through this. It would be a total miracle if I do. Not that I'm being pessimist or anything...it is just that I know where I'm standing at this point of time.
I've worked hard for the past one year. I've studied my ass off for the past one year.
Stupid luck.
