the awesome experience of CONVEX

finally im free to blog!

=D

owh please forgive me if this post is 1km long......

because i really have much to tell(well,i always have something to tell thoughXP)...

let's get it started with chronological order kie^^

first and foremost......CONVEX!!!

Venue:USM Main Campus,Penang

Date:4-8th August

Time:9am-5pm

well,ever wondered what does Convex means???it's actually a health exhibition held every year during Convocation Week at USM Main Campus in Penang,and im one of the participant this year,in charged of Neurology Station and was the group leader of it...the whole experience was indeed unforgettable,from the preparations itself til the day we finished our 5 days exhibition...there weren't really much visitors though,i was actually expecting thousand of them but i think there were only about hundreds...firstly,im really satisfied and happy when the public thanked me for explaining to them about strokes,migraines etc and had actually told me that what i told them is really interesting,some of them even praised me for making the best explanation to them=)...however,there were also few awkward moments when the publics threw some weird questions to me which i waqsn't able to answer,the only thing i did is just telling them that:"sorry ya auntie,im only a 2nd year medical student,im not so sure about this,you better refer your problem to a doctor^^...its better this way rite??better than just "hentam" then end up telling the publics about the wrong facts...and the shame-est moment of all.....ADIK PERNAH SAKIT KELAPA TAK???...lol...after i realised about my mistake,my group members and i burst into laughter in front of that adik......aiks,my malay really sucksXP...apart from the exhibition,the 6 days journey was full of happiness,cz we went for 3 movies,ate about 5 different dishes for every meal,and also...S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G!!!hehehe

remember her???my ex-roomie geok xin♥

first day reaching their hostel cafeteria...

those main campus students are really lucky!!!their hostel looked like this,with lifts,gyms,tv room with astro,an mostly double room with adequate space...

but i really gotta say that their stair structures are weird,you can find torturous staircases everywhere,like Hogwarts^^

my station and my 3 niceeee+helpful group members^^

✿WORKING TIME✿

✿PLAYING+SHOPPING+MOVIE+EATING✿

✿VISITING TIME✿

♥HAPPY ENDING♥

=)MY SHOPPING PRODUCTS=)

anddd.......i think that's all for my Convex experience...i gained happy memories from it,got to meet my old buddies Chee Yan and Hing Yee...and this trip reminds me of my first intention of wanting to study medicine and gives me motivation when i come back to USMkk and resume my study...

Next!!!

patient clerking...

im not sure whether i can use the word "FUN" to describe it because it sounded unethical...

but i enjoy the clerking session though...there's no more study ONLY...now,im learning how to do history taking and perform physical examinations on REAL patient...fun interesting nice right?^^...i like to interact with people,listening to their stories...the only thing that i feel guilty about is that im really sympathizing those poor,sick patients whom need to answer sooo many questions from sooo many different medical students and being the "hamster" for us to do physical examinations on them...=(...for whoever that ever being used as a learning material in an university hospital,THANKS...we would be learning nothing in the absence of you...=)

FINALLY!!!

HAHA=D

today's my beloved daddy's birthday!!!!

daddy,im here to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY again!!!

♥ you forever ya

and sorry that i really have no time to make you cards and present......

ps....i wanna eat Dutch dishes toooooooo!!!!!!!!must bring me there when i come home ya hehe

Penang here i come^^

this will be the last post before heading to Penang!=)

yep~after much struggling...hardworks...sleepless nights...anger...laughter...worries...we're finally leaving to USM Main Campus in Penang to held a health exhibition there during the convocation week!!honestly speaking,i just can't help feeling excited because

♥it's my first time to take part in a health exhibition
♥i'll be visiting the USM main campus and will get to meet my friends there:)
♥i'll get to do some shopping and eating in penang,which is one of my fav state!^^
YAY!!=D

ooyea,did i mention that im in the Neurology Station???everybody is welcomed to visit my station ya!!and i'll try my best to explain to you guys everything(hopefully) about the brain...hehe...we'll be emphasizing on 4 main topics mainly,Stroke,Backache,Migraine and Parkinson's Disease...and im now trying my best to read as much as i could on these topics so that i'll not be giving wrong informations to the publics...

the Convex(convocation exhibition) preparation works are indeed hectic and pressurizing and full of challenges and frictions,but THANK GOD we've made it through...now let's pray for a successful exhibition there then...from this moment onwards til the exhibition ends i just wanna clear my previous not-so-pleasant memories with somebody and try to enjoy the entire trip as much as i could❤

time's getting late...its time to bed so that i can wake up early tomorrow morning to read up on more neurology articles...cheers to everyone and have a good night rest ya

;)

✿good luck✿

sudden burst of feelings

halo world=D

here comes another of my weekly post...

practically i just reached my hostel moments ago

just attended the very last lecture before the convo break starts

the rain is drizzling outside

and for EVERYDAY i'd not forget to bring my umbrella,except TODAY

honestly i really enjoy the walking between my hostel and lecture hall

but walking in the rain?...

hhmmm~refreshing!!

haha

since i've finished eating all fruits that i bought from Ipoh,i've stopped by Nurani Cafe to buy a piece of guava and also pineapple...fruits are reallyyyy good,to eat and to keep you fit and healthy,and they contain lots of anti-oxidants to help you get rid of those naughty reactive oxygen species that cause aging=)
talking like a doctor eh???XD

and while reaching my room and munching on my fav fruits,i've also did some blog-surfing...and i've managed to find a few junior's blog...reading their blog did give me some nostalgic feeling...especially in those lines that mentioned about how passionate they wanted to become a doctor and how much hardships they've been through to get a medicine course here in USM...and also how complex is the community in university...their stories reminded me of mine too:)

well i still remember vividly how much i wanted to become a doctor when i was graduating from secondary school...how hard i've fighted for the JPA oversea scholarship,and when i failed to get it,how many litres of tears i've sheded...how i appealed into the matriculation programme,and i've studied so hard to make sure that i'll get a pretty 4flats so that i'll get the course i wanted...how i cried and kinda argued with my parents once i found out that i've got selected by USM...blahblahblah~histories of mine=)

and now,being in ONLY the second year of the medicine degree programme...though i shouldn't be feeling like this,but i really can't tell other people that im happy now...maybe,MAYBE im just tired...of the piling lecture notes and never-ending activities,but i do hope that this kinda feeling will eventually fade away and be replaced by my usual motivated character^^...i can still remember once my senior told me that for medical students,they are usually highly motivated during their 1st year,mildly motivated during their 2nd year,not-so-motivated during their 3rd year and for the 4th and the final years they will eventually forget about their long-ago childhood dream,no more passion,no more enthusiasm,no more caring,only robots with lots of medical facts in their head...

seriously...

I DON'T WANNA BECOME DOCTORS LIKE THAT!!!

omg,im so sorry that this post will be kinda long,suddenly have loads to talk about...people who aren't involved in the convocation health exhibition in USM main campus in penang and will be heading home soon please stay away from meeee!!!i wanna go home toooooo~BUT!im so sure that i'll definitely gain something from this activity that you guys would miss...university life is all about trying something new and to gain as much experiences as we could,that's what im doing now,so...no regrets!^^

ooyea,before i forget,last night was the Demo Night and Annual Grand Meeting of Wushu Club in USMkk...we had wushu and 24 season drums performances as usual and i was one of the wushu performer as well...and last night i was being elected as the new Wushu Master of the year...to be frank,im actually not so happy about the "Wushu Master" title,it just sounded so rough and tough,unlike me...hehe^^...anyway,my job is to conduct every wushu training sessions and our wushu performance during CNY Night 2011...and im actually the first ever lady wushu master,sounded funny right?but i'll certainly try my best to fulfill my job...nonoNONO sex discrimination!!!=)

right after the Wushu Club Demo Night and AGM,we also had another Mooncake Festival AGM to elect committees from 1st years for the Mooncake Festival Night,this has always been the tradition:the 1st years organise the Mooncake,2nd years organise the CNY...and undeniably,the 2nd batch of APEX students were all aggressively active!!!they practically wanted every posts as long as they are being nominated..."im more into the artistic performances stuff,so please vote for me as the stage director!!"..."as you can see,im a very dramatic person,so i'd like to become the stage director!!"..."please vote for me as the project manager,i'll certainly lead you guys towards a better Mooncake Night,better than what our seniors did!!"...

wow,what can i say...impressive!!haha

another part of my life:my convex preparations seems never ending...our station advisor,a neurosugery prof keeps on changing and editing and adding and cutting whatever we've did,claiming that our posters aren't professional enough...this can be quite tiring,but when im looking on this matter from prof's view,he's really being patience enough to assist and guide us,meeting us almost everyday to discuss about our topics...and LUCKILY i had Alfie,Amiro and Jason in my group,they are really GREEAATT helpers of mine=D...so from this,i've learnt a lesson:never think that you yourself is the only one who's suffering and working hard,see things from another perspectives and you'll see and appreciate the people who has been helping you♥...and God is really fair you know,He divides people equally so that every group will have both the great helpers and the super uncooperative laziers,fair and square...haha

time's getting late,i'll hang out with erica for chotek and mydin shopping session later...gotta get a bath and im going to enjoy this peaceful evening...im just gonna conclude that:it's not that im bored of studying medic,im not losing my passion,i just need a break,like now^^



✿ps1...im not that kinda person who's interested in politics,but somehow,the environment can mould you so drastically that you can't help to be involved in it...i think that's why people said that university is just a society in miniature i guess...

✿ps2...life in first years was the nicest memory i ever had,but that can only been remained as a memory...do do not look back,look ahead instead,and be tough and conquer whatever obstacles been thrown to you,with confident and perseverance...

✿ps3...try your best to perform well in every activities,without neglecting your studies...and try to enjoy the process in within...get and gain and learn something from every rise and fall...keep believing that from participating in every activities,im being mould into a better person...

✿ps4...lastly,do not lose interest in studying medicine!!!although it's getting tougher and tougher each day,keep your interest inside your heart and you'll not lose that motivation to study...

JIAYOU

system's shutting down........

another week has passed...

im still the same,old,busy me...

with more and more projects coming up...

and more and more meetings,preparations and practices...

sometimes i'll wonder that is this the right thing for me to do?...

to take part and hold posts in so many different kinds of activities...

well recently i just found out that being busy is what makes me happy...

weird huh???haha

because when every seconds of mine is filled...

i will feel contented too,with what i've done with my time...

now im just hoping that my activities will not interfere with my medical studies...

which is still my utmost target in life:)

and i truly believe that studying in university like USMkk

can definitely shape you into a better person

in the context of time management

and also in your social field

how???

i've met many different kinds of people here...

bad guy that is so DAMN good at pretending

those "politicians"...

when can you stop pretending arr???

I HATE YOU

haha...

anyway im here to blog even though im so busy

i enjoy this moment of putting all my thoughts into words

once a week,at least=)

next big events in my life:

✿Wushu Club AGM
✿Convo health exhibition in USM main campus
✿Hari Terbuka Desa Wushu's stall
✿"Xin Deng" musical of Buddhist Society
✿STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!

system's shutting down.......

zzzzz

convex=headache

i knew this would happen...

that once i come back to my university campus

i'll have not enough sleep

not enough rest

not enough eat

i've been busy everyday for the entire week

and it was only the 1st week of my new semester

im physically and mentally tired and i seriously need a break!!!

lecture notes...books...extra readings from various websites...

wushu training for demo night performance for freshmens...

convex meetings with teammates and doctor advisor...

those brain-crunching Problem-based Lerning(PBL) sessions...

those confusing FLM sessions...

choosing medical books that should be bought...

perak-ians meetings and briefings with juniors...

elective programme...

TITAS assignment...

cocurricular activities...

these are the stuffs that im constantly thinking about

day and night

the studying part is the toughest

so im trying my best to study as much as i can

but im constantly being haunted by the shadow of convex preparation,with not-so-motivated members,plus im the group leader,can you imagine how disastrous it is???

my greatest wish:

i wish for the convex thingy will be over in no time!!!

the only good thing about my 2nd year life is that

i can finally feel that im pursuing towards my future job

because we are now in the 2nd phase of the MD programme 

and started to study about pathology,which is the diseases

which is less boring compared to 1st years studies of normal anatomy,biochemistry and physiology...

i think i should stop here...

no more time-wasting,im telling myself...

gotta get back to my Robin's Basic Pathology...

OH CONVEX!!!!

please be over soon!!!!!!!

i ♥ my new hostel

T.H.A.N.K  G.O.D!!!

the reasons why i love my new hostel

♥ its big

♥ its a double room

♥ no more double-decker beds

♥ brand new bed and study table

♥ a large,luxurious,door-sliding cupboard

♥ a head-to-foot mirror on the cupboard

♥ the fan is spinning extremely fast

♥ easy access to supermarkets & food stalls

the reasons why i hate it

x only 4 bathrooms available for the whole floor

x further away from our lecture halls

so,obviously...the love's outweigh the hate's...so im going to conclude that im happy and contented for my new hostel...ooyea,i've got a new roomie named kitkei,whom im familiar with but just worrying that we're too familiar with each other and can't stop talking...XP

im actually feeling kinda good to return to my "community",seeing familiar faces and started babbling nonsense,like we used to...another special thingy is that my besties Erica is here in the same university as me!honestly,i do feel so weird seeing her being at this place HAHA just so not used to it LOL

~my new room~

my place:)

the luxurious cupboard that i've mentioned^^

zzz...

im feeling sleepy right now...

gonna go to sleep soon...

BUT before that i'd like to say 

THANK YOU

to my dearest daddy & mummy!!!

for helping me to wipe away the every single tiny dust

and trying to arrange my mountains of stuffs when im actually busy angry at myselfXP
❤i love you❤

life has to move on

dear ladies and gentlemen,you're now reading a live telecast post from Crystal Lounge Hotel in Kelantan

i had an absolutely great day today!despite the fact that our journey actually led to Kelantan...i just signed in facebook and got to know that its a big possibility that i'll be placed into a sixduple hostel room!!!such a nightmare!!!!!quaduple room is crowded and noisy enough,sixduple???six girls in a tiny room???i hope USMkk is just kidding around with us...anyway,after being treated so unfairly throughout my life,im preparing myself mentally and will accept the cruel arrangement anyway

T.T

so i'll register into my new hostel,2nd phase of my MD programme tomorrow morning...i'll be turning right into a busy beeee tomorrow i know,with the usual piling lecture notes and activities...and right now im enjoying my final relaxing moment,blogging in the air-conditioned hotel whilst listening to my parents' snoring:)

during my final week of hols i had no regrets for what i did...i took a train to KL alone(im a big girl now^^) to meet up with my godbro,his wife and son whom just back from Austria...i had a really great time and nice food with 'em...and for my family,my parents especially i tried my best to cherish the moments i spent with 'em...and for my doggies,i bid farewell to 'em and told 'em to behave well when im gone...O touch-wood touch-wood,im just leaving to study,but leaving after 2months stay at home can be quite emotional...sob sob

my godbro with his wife-Ade

their cheeky son-Nicholas

Gosh i'll miss 'em...

we were having lunch at Zanmai Jap Restaurant^^

my Godsis' little devil-Brownie

Candy & Cody

taken this hours ago at Belum Resort,the place where we will passby everytime when we go from Ipoh to Kelantan,the superb place for our high-tea^^

and...HAHAHA,my new Crocs,not an imitation kay...lol~and if you can notice,my left Croc is being punched holes by Brownie=.=...

i ❤ my crocs

Hhmmm~i think this is about it huh...im grateful for the 2 months hols i had and surprisingly,im not wishing for more hols,because life has to move on,i'll soon graduate in 4 years time as a medical doctor and for that,i have the duty to continue studying for as hard as i could...hols are just a short break for you to recharge but not a discharge from reality...Oh,didn't i sound mature???=)

praying hard for my double room hostel,still...

♥gute nacht
