duo-luo-life^^

good morning world=)

for 1 whole week...
7days/168hrs/10080min/604800s
i gotta stuck at my campus here
no more lectures no more practicals no more notes no more exam
and so we begin our life of "duoluo-ing"

i secretly regretted that i've paid for the trip
after the exam i'd rather choose to go home
why can't they just let us check our result via the internet like the other courses do???
but anyway
we have no choice but to enjoy our duoluo life in USMkk here
and so we did^^

the day we finished our final paper we went out of our campus to have lunch and did a lil shopping...
this might sound normal to those who study in KL but trust me,going out of campus from USMkk can be a great project...
owh~this reminded me of how pathetic are we studying here in the jungle lol
we grabbed some boxes from the shopping mall's rubbish dump













if you can notice,i wasn't in the picture cz i wasn't helpingXP
that dump place was sooo smelly and dirty lar...
there's NO WAY that i can lay my hand on it...
and so im being tagged by my roomie as "da xiao jie"=.=
(which of course im not,this is only the matter of cleanliness!)
during the evening,we went out again...
to have a nice dinner outside,played bowling,shopping and lastly had dessert at our fav dessert shop
not bad huh^^


 please note that although i suck at bowling...i was the highest mark among my friends,which is 66!!wakaka^^

in the next day,which was yesterday...
i didn't set my alarm clock,which the last time i did was agesss ago...
i slept till 12noon hahax!!!
i watched 2 movies and logged in facebook for umpteenth times
not to forget to arrange and pack my notes into the boxes as well 

and today...
i woke up at 9am
having the time of my life
blogging and sipping on my fav milo+wheat drink

ooo!!
did i mentioned something about a vacation trip???
tomorrow i'll be on a vacation to pulau redang,pulau perhentian and another unknown pulau
3 days 2 nights
with my coursemates...
it will sure be fun though
looking forward to it...
will post loads of pics when i come back
stay tuned!^.<

MERDEKA!!!

OMG~
im feeling so alive now
feel more like a normal person than a reading zombieXD

YAY~~~
can't believe i've finally finished my Professional 1 MD Exam!!!
can't believe i've managed to stop blogging for 3 whole weeks!!
and you know what...
i really got loads to tell,loads to share^^

No.1
when i was away from the world of electronic diary,i turned 19,silently and secretly...hehe^^...because my birthday actually fell on the first day of the onset of our study weeksTTsame thing happened during my matriculation times...well,i had a nice celebration with my friends though but i wasn't realise that they were actually planning for a great fool!!i woke up in the morning at 11am...the first sip of water from my water bottle tasted sweet and i thought it was my taste buds' malfunctioning...my roomie slept till 2pm that day which i thought was acceptable since she used to study late...i walked all way round under the sun to go photostat but the shop was closed during the normal business hour...i noticed the sun was still hanging high up in the sky though it was already 6.30pm!!!well,i went to jog anyway but i felt my skin was burning under the sun...finally,only i felt that something went wrong,i phoned my mum,and she told me that it was only 4.30pm!!!HAHAHA!!!this is definitely the most memorable birthday i ever had,though i was a lil pissed off at first,but i really gotta salute to my 38 gang's effort.They managed to hack my laptop's password and changed the time,they changed each and every watches of mine,my alarm clock and my roomie's clocks as well,which made everything feel so real!!!their conclusion was:vivian is way too easy to be cheated...and that's for my unusual birthday^^


No.2
in my 19 years of life...i studied for countless tests and major exams...PTS...UPSR...PMR...SPM...PSPM...but i never felt such immense pressure before...i felt like i was always in  race with time,trying to read as much notes as i can while memorising as much as i can,in the same time keep on forgetting what i've memorised...i keep on adjusting my revision schedule to make sure that i can finish every notes before entering the exam hall...in fact,i managed to finish my notes 2 days before the "Judgement Day"...but i can't seem to remember much things as i started the revision from 2 months ago!!i was panic,really,though i didn't show it...sometimes,i can suddenly feel like crying without any reason...sometimes,my heart rate can suddenly become irregular until i gotta take some time to take in and breath out deeply then only i can resume my time-chasing...i needed lots of motivation so that i can carry on...and so i did so many stupid thingy like i will leave an extra note on my dekstop after every block i've read through...and i called home more than usual,talking to my mum always make me feel sooo better,though i gotta apologise 'cz i was easily irritated during those stressed periods...


No.3
Kelantan is really the hottest place i've ever been!!!my room was really suffocating until i gotta walk out of it to get some fresh air...so i gained the habit of holding a set of lecture note and a pen,and then i will walk to and fro the corridor of my hostel,sometimes sitting at my favourite corner near the stairs,where there will be breezes blowing and you'll manage to "survey" which extra couples have arised in USMkk from the view upstair heheXPthe moment i finished bathing i sweat,even my private fan was blowing directly onto me!!THIS,definitely affected my input during studying and  thus contributed to my tension level...





No.4
do you guys know that my whole family actually came and visited me during the 2nd week of study weeks??...i was sooo happy to see 'em and  had a nice hangout with 'em for 2 days,but with consequences paid...the day when they left and went home,i got severe diarrhoea and vomit...since my chinese roomie went home for that week,means i was the only inhabitant in my room,plus the suffering illness,i was feeling extra alone,and an extreme homesickness...plus i didn't have energy to study for the entire 2 days following my illness,which also contributed to my extra tension...anddd guess what,during the final study week,just few days before my exam,i got another round of vomiting again!!!and it was more serious than the previous one because i loss my apetite entirely...tension tension and tension!!!that time,when i called my mum and when my daddy called,i cried...


No.5
medical students are too scary!!!especially during study weeks,and when the time's getting nearer to the exam...they will acquire an extremely desperate nature...i'll try to explain it in a more simple way: when Peter gave an apple to Jane,someone saw it and he told all his friends about that,then all the people will find Peter to get apples from him...im anti-desperate because i hate it but i know that it's an essential component of survival...how sad it is...ooyea...besides that...i received hundreds of messages about tips given by lecturers,phase coordinators,seniors blahblahblah...in the end,after each and every paper,you'll find out that none of it came out,those are merely misleading guides that intended to lead you into failure...wait!don't blame your friends who sent it to you 'cz they were just out of good intention,blame those evil-hearted people who created those fake tips!!!


No.6
my cooking skills developed during the study week though...now im good at cooking barley,red bean and green bean soup...hehe!!the purpose of cooking is to release tension...2nd is to provide as my lunch or dinner...how pathetic!!staying in USMkk is still as pathetic as the first week i entered...except few changes that are made,such as the new Mydin shopping mall that is newly built just opposite to our campus...and a few more newly opened kopitiams and cafes...

No.7
regarding the exam...i just gotta say that i've really really really tried my best in every papers,so no regrets!!but i know i didn't really perform well as i used to,i mean i think i didn't utilize my whole potential,it's just beyond my control,eg:my memory...i was deeply frustrated by my performance in the first essay paper where those hot and major topics didn't come out,in contrast,the most UNUSUAL topic:amino acid catabolism came out as the 9th question!!!so i gotta admit that i didn't really attempted the paper well...i was quite satisfied with the 2nd essay paper though^^but for the OSPE...wow!!!challenging is what i can say...they just pointed out the smallest,unnoticed nerves in the neck and asked you to name it...well im fairly satisfied with it as well...MCQ1 was more challenging than MCQ2...myself is to be blamed 'cz i didn't manage to flip through all notes before MCQ1...in general,i'll say that im only confidence enough to pass,but not scoring high...good or bad?=)


Hhmmm~
i think my list should end here,if not my readers will sure be bored to death...the most important thingy is...im a totally free soul now!!!for 2 months~i'll be free from notes and USMkk!!wakaka^^can't wait to go home...i wanna bake cookies and muffins with mummy...i miss mum's cooking terribly!!and i miss my buddies in Ipoh...not to forget my 2 doggies as well...but im gonna stay here for 1 week,just to wait for our result,which will be out on 6th May...wish everybody luck and me myself as well!!!^^

owh i really gotta sleep now...
tired playing for the whole day since finished todays's MCQ2 on 10.40am...
hehe^^
see you guys very soon...
nitez~

the last

i just came back from my last lecture of first year of medical studies...
planned to pay full attention for the last 2 lectures but failed=.=
fell asleep when listening to an indian lecturer mumbling something about chromosome...
HAHA

im not trying to be nostalgic though
but it's hard to believe that our 1st year is going to end soon
when you take a look at the past
those times you spent in the crowdynoisysleepy lecture hall
how much things you've actually learned?
how many friendships are created just by sitting side-by-side during lectures?
and...
how many fishes you got from "fishing" during lectures?XP

be it good times or bad times
those times i experienced in my 1st year is indeed SUPER memorable
my friends told me to not to worry 'cause we still have another 4 years to be spent HERE
i wanted to tell 'em that it's different!!!
this year was the beginning
it's supposed to be the most memorable year
it's supposed to be started out great 'cause a good story starts with a good beginning
well,i think mine turned out not bad
=)

this is taken after our last lecture...as usual, everybody rushed to the dekstop to get soft copies of our lecture notes...Hhmmm~i wonder is it only me who feel something special about our last lecture of the year?
hopefully we'll not get to enter this lecture hall,DK4 anymore...
2nd year MD lectures are held at DK3...
so if everything turns out smoothly...
tata to DK4 and here i come DK3!!!^^

♥ ♥ ♥
 

my cooking pot cooked out wonders!!!
my friends & i cooked spaghetti^^
~yumyum~


♥ ♥ ♥
 
im secretly touched by the message that is sent to me moments ago
tigers are fierce & scary
but sometimes they can be turned into purring kitten too
:)

♥ ♥ ♥
 
sigh~
its hard to say goodbye
but i gotta say that this will be the last post till my exam finishes

wish me luck
and my coursemates too!!!
this final exam is too crucial

take 5...

just taking a break from my Renal Physio note, because since i woke up at 6.30am this morning, i didn't really revised much, means that im not efficient, which in turn means that i need a break^^
so many excuses huh...

sigh~
many of my friends are heading back home, some have actually reached home...enjoying their slumber on their most comfy bed at home, and im practically stuck here...sleeping on a stony bed, closely accompanied by mosquitoes the whole night...afternoon is the worst though, i wear shorts & sleeveless shirts & turn on my private fan to the maximum speed, yet my room is still as hot as hell...well i can't help but to envy those who went home for the study weeks, its my choice afterall...HOME is way tooo dangerous, for my studies^^...So, keep holding on my dear...you'll have 2 months of holiday after this, you'll get to do whatever things you wanna do, you'll get to eat anything you like, you can turn on the air-con for the whole day until you get scold by mummy...XP

***
my friend said:"since we only wish to pass the Pro1 exam so that we can enter 2nd year of our medical studies, there isn't a need for us to feel stress.Stress is for those who wish to obtain an A's & Viva Distinction.As long as we know a lil bit from each lecture notes,it's already sufficient to pass..."

HAHA

i can't agree to her statement no matter what...maybe what she said is true, because seniors did told us that Pro exams are not difficult to pass...but!we are studying not only for passing exams right? How are you going to serve the patients when you only know a lil bit of your lecture notes? Viva Distinction just sounded too far from me, so i don't hope to get it either...but im stressed! im afraid that i can't finish revising everything before i enter the examination hall, im scared that i can't remember enough anatomy+physiology+biochemistry to enter 2nd year, and im worried that i can't gain enough knowledge to serve people in the future...i don't wanna become bad, stupid killer doctors...

so i think its okay to feel stress, and its dangerous to not feeling stress...be it stress or not, let's try our best to swallow as much lecture notes as we can...hhmmm~how good would it be if the lecture notes are actually food, like chocolate??XP

***

i cooked red bean soup yesterday=)
it was my first time cooking it without help
and it gained quite a popularity from my friends
HAHA

i think im growing up
'cause in my imagination only grown up girls know how to cook^^
mummy should feel proud of me
hahax


i took longer than 5 minutes....
almost 30 minutes in fact...
cheers~

that's why i enjoy blogging
because i can let out everything i want
and gain back concentration to do things in life

its all about studystudy&study

it's only exactly 1 month away from our Pro1 exam!!!
shivering...

3 weeks...
i will be having 3 study weeks
but im not going home
so unlike me huh
the reason is that i can't study at home:
too much distraction^^

revision is progressing way too slow
the weather is way too hot and dry EVERYDAY
and im like staying in a hot oven
trying to stuff in all the facts into my tiny little brain
so i think it's time to switch to another plan:
a change of study environment
--->library!!!

sometimes i can't really believe that we are now on our last block for the entire first year medical programme, Host & Environment Block...
and it reminded me of the Biodiversity chapter i once studied during matriculation times
and it sucks you know
last time it was only the characteristics of that particular worm
and now we gotta memorise what kinda disease it causes, its symptoms, how is it transmitted, what kinda environment that favour its growth, its morphology under the microscope, how to differentiate it by using different agar blahblahblah~
what can i say...
i've got no other choice but to try my best, isn't it so?

to coursemates of my batch
i hope for nothing more but all of us can enter 2nd year in the coming semester
no repeats, no regrets, no tears...
so let's work hard together kay??
please do not hesitate to ask your friends if you're facing any problem...
we are meant to help out each other
jiayou!=)

ps...the girl from the wonderland, please treat your newly adopted little yellow doggy nicely,because he's one of my best friends and he deserves it

let's get crazy while we're 18^^

first of all,before im telling you guys the story of our ultimate crazy adventure...
proudly present to you the memorable picture...


okies...make sure you put on your seat belt for the roller-coaster ride!=D

Event: USMkk Chinese New Year Appreciation Night 2010
Objective: To treat all chinese who put on alot of efforts in making the CNY celebration night a great success!
Venue: Orchard Garden Restaurant, Tumpat
Dress code: Casual red


Kei: Eh...i have an idea,why not tonight the 4 of us(kit kei,geok xin,jia miao & vivian) wear dress/skirts together?

Vivian: i don't want to...i don't have any dress/skirts here lea...besides the dress code is casual red ma...let's all wear red t-shirts+jeans then...

Miao: but we would looked nicer when taking pics if we wear dress/skirts la...let's wear together la...4 of us...

Vivian: geok xin, are you going to wear skirt tonight? i'll follow you...

Xin: really??if im wearing skirts then you will wear it as well??i will be wearing skirt then...haha!

Vivian: but i only have a purple dress here...it's not red lea...nevermind la!it's not necessary that we MUST follow the dress code right?let's the 4 of us wear purple dress together tonight...deal?

Kei,Miao,Xin: okies!


we spent almost an hour running around in the hostel...searching for the appropriate purple dress/skirts for the 4 of us...somehow we wondered that would we be very special if we dress up that way?but we thought that our seniors will sure be wearing niceee dress and applying make-ups and all that...so...no big deals!=)

BUT!unfortunately...

when we were finally heading to the USM bus...we saw the chinese crowd...all wearing red t-shirts & jeans and even shorts!!!Owh gosh~how embarrasing we were!!our faces turned red instantly...with our friends ooh-ing and aah-ing at what we were wearing...although praises are thrown at us...pretty...gorgeous...lady-like...butbutbut...you can't imagine how embarassed we were!!being the only 4 stupid girls wearing skirts/dress,who weren't even red but PURPLE!!!hahax...

anyway...since we can no longer change our outfit at the very last minute...the 4 of us...we were the most special/outrageous-looking of the crowd...><...of course,we took lots of pics that night though,for making such big sacrifices for it...

and that's the end for my crazy adventure which was considered the most "paiseh" experience in my lifeXP
though extremely embarassing but we were having fun...
can't stop laughing at ourselves
HAHA

* * *

there are really uncountable March babies around me...
once again im here to wish a special someone a very happy birthday!!!

a yummy cake for you
my best marshmallow...

the rain that ruins

well it isn't fair to blame the rain
maybe it was just feeling sooo heavy
and feel like letting go

butbutbut
i wanted to jog
my brain was jammed with zero input
suddenly...
splash~~~~~~













fine my jogging plan had to be canceled
i headed for a bath then
when i got back my roomie told me that the rain actually lasted less than 5 minutes!
=.=

*  *  *

i hope i didn't change though
but definitely i can feel some slight changes in myself...
~im throwing more junk food into my GIT than usual
~im switching my 3 major meals into bread routines which i used to think as unhealthy
~im talking lesser and lesser each day(i don't feel like talking much like i used to..sometimes,maybe,i was just tired,but,most of the time,i dunno why,i'd rather choose to listen than to talk..unusual eh?..)
~im smiling lesser and lesser each day(it seems like there's nothing funny in the world im living in..my friends joked and i'd just laugh dryly,nothing more...i even laughed more at SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS><)

i wonder why people like to use the word "emo"
honestly speaking, i hate that word
because at such young age,like us
there's nothing big in our life that is worth to be "emo-ed" about
butbutbut
moments ago i just found out myself that people can just "emo" without any reason
like what im doing now


smile
smile
smile

im sucks at pingpong,badminton,netball,football,softball and every spherical objects that you can think of

endless light

last night was the last buddhist weekly activity being held in USMkk
i attended that event and the theme was "Endless Light"
everyone was given a pretty lotus candle

"once your lotus candle is lighted,it denotes that the light in your heart is ignited as well...
whatever you're trying to achieve in life,this tiny light in your heart will guide you...
when you're in complete darkness, when you're lost, the light will give you strength and courage to continue the journey of life"
this is the meaning of "Endless Light"

that was such a meaningful event indeed^^

i think it's time to.........

introduce to you my new cutie cooking potie!!!!!
=)))


today i used it for the very first time to cook 薏米蛋花糖水...
hhmmm~i think it was quite nice and i love it^^
although some of my friends commented that it's weird to have this combination><
feeling proud and satisfied of what i cooked:)


***accelerating on the road of revision...jiayou!!

marshmallows

friendship is like marshmallow
it's sweet
it's yummy
it's colorful
but it's soft,weak and vulnerable
if you left it untouched for too long
...it will just melt away...

special thanks to jie en's marshmallows
which elicited my inspiration

* * *

im not sure what have gotten into me recently
im not feeling as happy,contented and cheerful as before
i've turned into an emotional person whom easily gets frustrated

im trying to study as much as i can 
but that depends much on my daily mood
when i don't feel like studying
i will linger around my blog,facebook and my Happy Aquarium
when i feel like studying,finally...
sometimes,i mean most of the time
my study mood will be disturbed by visitors
but the thing is i can't neglect my friends and not talk to 'em
so i will end up chatting with 'em till late nights
wasting hours on saliva wastage
with the ultimate consequence of endless guilt

i've noticed too
that i've got loads of things to care and think about recently
which partly influence my concentration while studying

stopstopstop
i must stop all the distractions
i must put an end to all these as soon as possible
i must gather up the shattered pieces and put 'em back into places

i need   from my marshmallows
(:
