Uni-6-disaster on the way

Since the start of standard 1 when I was 7 years old, I've not had a vacation longer than 2 months. Holidays seemed fun only after months of studying, but the fun slowly exhausts, slowly switching to Stand By. Sometimes I wonder how other students wait for lower6 to start and how they wait for university placement after STPM...

38 days since EOS

18 days since Hospital placement

52 days to Fly-day

Total of 2 months 11 days of slacking...

Stand By is synonymous to Lazy Strike to me, and Lazy Strike is synonymous to Drama Crazy. I watched How I Met Your Mother's 132 episodes in 4 days! That beats my previous record of 溏心風暴's 40 episodes in 3 days! To be honest, I'm not proud of this... :P

Four months ago, I bought an Asus notebook which was so screwed up that it visited the hospital (repair centre) 3 times so far. If you think that was bad, now their replacing mine with another, maybe mine was *screwed beyond repair*? That could be my bad luck or Asus quality may have dropped, who knows? Hopefully the new one would be ok *touch wood*!

their replacing with N53SV

Just realised I won 2 Show Luo's Encore 3D Concert tickets but missed it already!!!

GERAM!!!

That's all for now. I'll update when something interesting come up!

Uni-5-disaster week ? report

After 11 posts this semester...

40 days after the previous post...

and 20 days after EOS...

I still can officially say that I'm leaving IMU...

and I can't wait for P109 to be together again...

What?

Results for EOS were supposed to be released on March 25th but some hiccups caused a delay in the release. Although I don't expect myself to fail any paper, I still feel a weird anxiety. Furthermore, I've to go for the hospital placement while waiting for the results to be released... 好紧张! Fortunately IMU released those results on Monday morning and guess what,

I'm going to UK!!!

I'm meeting you guys again!!!

This hospital placement is for 3 days (2.5 days for me...lol) unlike the previous one. We depart from IMU at 7.45am everyday, arrive at Seremban at 8.30am for a cup of coffee and then we start clerking cases for our assignment. Despite the short duration, we managed to clerk 4 cases *from those unreadable notes*. Imagine wearing an undershirt, long sleeve shirt, tie and labcoat, walking around a barely ventilated hospital for the whole day when the temperature is 35°C. It was hectic, hot and horribly annoying in the hospital, but somehow I enjoyed it very much!

Uni-5-disaster week 13 & 14 report

 

How nice if that was true all the time!!!

Unfortunately, reality isn't so fun...

PP2 Class Test was quite horribly timed and horribly done. I can only blame it on CNY and my laziness. Immediately after the test, we started our preparations for our PP2 tutorial presentation. Fortunately we got quite good remarks from the lecturer for our ~work.

Week 14 is a week with only 1 day of "class". I was assigned to Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar, Seremban for the PP2 hospital placement.

I met up with fellow batchmates in front of IMU at 7am and travelled to IMU Clinical School in Seremban. The journey took ~45minutes *we were very early*.

We met up with lecturers in the IMU Canteen at 8.45am and walked to the hospital.

The clinical school has a bridge leading to the hospital.

I wasn't used to fully government hospitals as I've only been to private SJMC and semi-private PPUM, both fully air-conditioned. HTJ was hot and stuffy, but not crowded nor busy.

All we had to do was to find a suitable case, clerk the case, discuss with partner and consult lecturer. These steps sounded easy at first but steps after the 2nd step was a nightmare since the case chosen was *bad*.

• Handwritten notes by physicians were difficult to comprehend as expected.
• Tonnes of abbreviations used not known even by lecturer.
• Pure bad luck :(

So now I've got to put aside all my clerked notes and concentrate on the 4 deadly subjects which will determine my "destiny".

Study Break has officially begun...

Uni-5-disaster week 12 & 13 report

Once again, another 2 post-less weeks is over. I know I'm not a particularly good blogger :P

Immediately after DD2 class test, I tried to organize my time to complete my DD3 "not so" practical report. But as lazy as I am, my 平时不烧香临事抱佛脚 (PSBSXLSBFJ) sickness came back. Fortunately, I gotta finish everything one day before the deadline... *wipe sweat*

So I'm now in a CNY mood... nothing much to shout about except that on the Monday after the CNY holidays is my PP2 class test a.k.a. the HORROR! It is so difficult to study when I am not in the right mood. Then I took a stroll in my own blog and found that this happened last year too! Take a look at this LINK
IMU is making MPharm students "suffer"... hahahaha!

We had many CAL sessions recently but the one I remember the most is this particular one with SIA.
When was the first HIV patient diagnosed?
Where was that patient diagnosed?
I would like to ask one question...
What does history have to do with the treatment of HIV?


then he said "those doing the hospital placement with me will need to know these". First thing I did was to search for my placement timetable...

and I found my name very close to SIA!!!

Bo bian... life must go on! hahaha :D

Anyway, since it is Chinese New Year, I would like to wish all my readers with a cute Bugs Bunny picture I edited for the year of the Rabbit!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

兔年大吉!!!

Finally three quarter of the class tests are over! But as usual there are always many hurdles ahead.

DD3 practical report due date is 2 weeks away,

Chinese New Year is 3 weeks away,

PP2 class test is 4 weeks away,

Hospital Placement is 5 weeks away,

After DD2 class test, I decided to take a break and joined my juniors in my "grandjunior"'s orientation. Yup! I admit I'm old... hahaha!

my batchmates with 3 Jokers

For once, I felt technology is very far ahead when P110 used HD technology in their junior's orientation video. WOW!!! That is so cool *though slightly laggy*. I'm really inspired to upgrade myself and make a HD video soon... maybe not so soon lah! Well done guys!

Remember this video? It brings back memories of the crazy stuff we did a year ago.
