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.

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.

...and then, it hit me.

Had a short briefing with the UM lecturers this morning about the final exam end of this month and right after the whole thing, it hit me. This is seriously serious. I don't have any more time. No more time for Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy (which reminds me, i need to re-read my Snell again for Ortho), Samatha Who, Desperate Housewives, Spa Q (?!!? hehe..), and owh...no more Perez Hilton (I'll miss you Perez!! =p) for the next one month or so!
Sigh....

I guess that means this blog will also be ignored and neglected for quite a while.

=)


Oh So Random:
I've deleted my friendster account two months ago and never once I missed it. Banyak sangat rempit merempit remput in Friendster. Dah jadi macam MySpace. Facebook rocks (for now).

It's hard to read about AAA without breaking a tear or two.

Pretty songs

Another singer that I loveeeee!! Check this song out if you haven't heard it already! =) "Mouthwash" by Kate Nash.



Owh owh..this one toooo!! "A little love" by Meaghan Smith.



I memang have a thing for pretty female singers with pretty voices. First it was Colbie Caillat. Then it was Marie Digby. Next was Lenka. And now, these two! =))

Btw, talking about songs, I hate dislike "If I Were A Boy" by Beyonce and also "T-Shirt" by Shontelle. IMHO, those are the two worst songs ever produce in 2008. The lyrics are both corny and cheesy.

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
