Nostalgia?
I just watched back the DT108 grad video and i cant believe i almost teared.
There are just too many precious moments to be forgotten.
And when i watch the video, i realized most of the batch photos dont have me in it.
Its defnitely not because of discrimination of any sort, now that i think of it, i was just not around when those photos were taken.
I was back home busy with funeral and all.
Its been a while.
Sigh.
And, yes, i am staying local.

Kulai time
Nothing beats having a break after a really long and tiring semester.
Well yes, semester 6 started only early last month but it somehow seems so longgg and so tiringgg.
Now that i have this precious lil one week break and can come home to my comfort zone,
Whoa it feels really great! :)
First off, realized i gained like 0.5kg.
Yea its a sign of being paranoid over a mere half kg but what the hell, food here are just too awesome to be missed.
Whats more, mooncake festival is so near and with all those famous homemade mooncakes, who cares whether its half or few kg right? Hehe.
Kluang's shanghai mooncake is a must from now onwards because it is cheap and so yum just the thought of it makes me drool...!
And its special!! Have you seen a mooncake that is elongated? As in, its long and not like the conventional squarish or round mooncake.
Hard to describe, i shall take a picture and post it up for easier understanding!
Its funny how i have this to-eat list everytime i come back home.
So far, fulfilled one of the foodie on my list.
Got few more to go and hope i'll be able to sapu all by friday before i go back to deserted bukit jalil! :D
Its september!!!
Its really late and still no answer.
Chances are, might not be going overseas anymore after all :(
Too tired to care and fight for all these anymore.
Just wanna graduate my BDS and be a dentist.
One of the lecturer in clinical school seremban said "Who cares where you graduated from whether its malaysia, india or any other foreign countries?", its the postgrad and specialities that count. So, just grab and degree anywhere and then go for good uni for postgrad and stuff and that would be more practical and worth for money.
*He is trying to insist that seremban clinical school is the right choice, as compare to those overseas partner medical schools that cost a bomb*
Well, for now, its really not up to me and, i am really fortunate to be able to at least get a degree.
Think about those who are forced to leave school at such early age to earn to support their family.
What more can i ask for.

First week posting at seremban
7.00am - 6.00pm daily = Extreme fatigue, boredom and moody.
Yes, i did learn a lot from Seremban.
But travel to and fro daily is just too much to handle, at the moment at least.
Its really tiring, and i dont get enough sleep, and there's volley match and training on some days of the week, and planning to start jogging again so i dont make a fool out of myself in next month's Mizuno Wave Run.
Sigh.
Its annoying how busy life can be sometimes.
Sooooo busy i need not talk and i dont even have time to miss anyone? To think about any other things other than posting, logbook and volley?
Ok, i should stop crapping and start sharing what i have learnt from the seremban posting so far.
Basically our daily routine for internal medicine posting is to go for ward round and do clerking in the morning, followed by case presentation where one to two students present what they have just clerked from the ward in front of a lecturer and then one hour lunch break which i seriously do not enjoy cos the canteen sucks HUGEHUGEHUGE time!!! There'll be no food at all except for gravy by 1pm, and my lunch break is from 1-2pm! Sheeettt! And so inefficient we have to queue for damn long time just to pay for that freaking miserable plate of food. And be prepared if you were to order fried rice cos you'll have to wait for almost half an hour eventhough the canteen appears to be not very crowded :((
After the unhealthy lunch (mostly fried food and curry), we'll have TBL which is something like PBL. Only difference is there's no trigger, and our discussion will be based on actual cases from the hospital. Its a 3hours thingy. And after lunch. Just imagine myself sitting there with an empty head.
And by the time the torture is finally over, its already 5pm.
And by the time i finally reach my "now home-sweet-home" vista, its 6+ sometimes.
Its really not easy i tell you.
At the end of the day when you finally get to lie on the bed, you'll be like "What is this super comfy thing im lying on" and i just dont wanna wake up so early the next day for the same thing over and over again!!
Such is life.
A life of sem6 student? Probably?
But from the ward rounds, i see tonnes and tonnes of patients, both male and female, lying on their bed helplessly. Some appear to be alright, communicative and can still smile at your face. Some are simply too tired and sick to even care who you are. Some need machines and medical equipment to help them stay alive. Its sad, yes it sure is.
It just make me realise how extremely lucky i am to be waking up everyday in my life feeling healthy and able to breathe. Breathing seems so effortless we just take it for granted sometimes, but we never know for others, breathing can be impossible. A lot a lot of cardiac cases, respi cases, diabetic patient and some cancer patient and i wonder why does this happen. I mean, lets just take cardiac and diabetic cases. It is not something that is unavoidable right? Unless there're hereditary or something. It is definitely preventable and yet, people just dont know how to take care of themselves. Do they not care of the health, or do they not know how to care? A lot of diseases went undiagnosed, as in patient do not know whether they have hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia until they're admitted to hospital. Until the reading is so high it is almost irreversible. And worst of all, some of them are not even in their 60s or 70s. They may be only in their 50s, worse still 40s!! Depressing right??
And also its surprising to know people can get really suicidal at times. I've seen cases of paracetamol poisoning, whereby patient just swallowed like 25-30+ pills in a day when the maximum dose is only 8 per day. Asked whether its intentional or accidental, they can still answer intentional and that totally made us speechless. Its just one of those badly depressed day and a broken relationship and these can trigger such an action. What can be more precious than your very own life and which part of this sentence do you not get for goodness sake.
Today, i've seen cases of rheumatoid arthritis and possibly SLE at the clinic. Its indeed a good learning experience although its not like im gonna treat this kind of patient in the future. Clerked a 17 year old rheumatoid arthritis male patient. He is in his lower six studies now and he's been diagnosed with this condition since form 1. Sad but i am really glad he found good doctors and he can still live his life as a normal young man without any difficulties and pain. Also, a case of ankylosing spondylitis. Very strong familiar history of this disease. Its a disease i have long forgotten and i clearly do not know what it is today. Lucky there's lecturer/rheumatologist to guide us.
Well actually, Seremban really really do have very good cases sometimes. Good for all the local medical students. I am pretty sure they'll be able to learn a lot and by the time they graduate it will be a breeze for them to treat all sort of patients. But for us dental students, well, like they always say, good to know.
Enough of medical stuff, the next thing on my list that im looking forward to :
The Mizuno Wave Run!!!
11km of ups and downhills, yeah like its name "WAVE".
I sound excited although im actually damn scared cos i stop jogging for so long now.
But wait.
I spent 40bucks for registration, there is absolutely no way im backing out!
So.
Runnnnn that is! :DDD

Good Morning Blog-o-sphere!!
ZZZzzz i dont intend to wake up so early but i just did.
Its really nice to have a mini holiday today as i dont need to travel all the way to seremban for "induction week" which is honestly meant for medical student rather than dental.
So today, i'll be having volley training so that we people will be fit enough to play against Phoenix in next tuesday's semifinal. Its a shame we didnt get through to semifinal last year and i am so really glad that we managed this time round. Its just that, the entire team still get tense really easily, plus phoenix just won against hydra which is suppose to be the best team ever so... chances are we're not going to make it to final. Cis but its ok, cos then at least we can still have another match for 3rd/4th placing. I am devoting a lot of time in volley these days not knowing why. But but, it does make me and my body feels better, i mean fitter of course. And i start to go jogging whenever possible and whenever i m not too tired or drained out from uni. As a consequence, i think i managed to increase my metabolic rate by dont know how many percent. And so, i've been eating more even snacks chocolate ice-cream but still manage to not gain weight so easily, which is like heaven! :))
On the other hand, its a shame that for the very first time in my life, i find myself disliking or maybe hating medical-related subject and all thanks to the seremban posting. First, we've been dumped there to survive all by ourselves without proper transportation and accomodation. Second, the clinical school is soooo "terpencil" even a bus cant enter and go through the road and it is also the habitat for all sorts of mosquitoes and insects. Third, the grouping is sort of out and i am assigned to internal medicine posting first and surgery will be in november. Ok fine i dont mind whichever comes first BUT apparently they will be dividing the entire group of 30-ish students into different subgroups and each subgroup will only consist of 1 dental student so that "the dental students wont mix with only dental students". Even for this, i can forcefully learn to tolerate but what makes thing worse is that, my name is the last on the list. And if they were to divide into subgroups like how they do it in CSU, i will be soooo damn screwed cos the last 6-7students are all malay on the list which means there're very high possibility of me joining the all malays and no chinese/indian group except for myself :(((( I know right! This is sooo not right!!! :((( NO i am not racist or whatsoever but all malay like seriously? I dont think i'll give it a damn if at least i know 1-2 of those malays but what the hell. Those names are never heard of throughout my entire imu life. And with these, i can safely conclude that this seremban posting is really a piece of shit.
Tell me if this happens to you, will you be as pissed as i do?
