HAPPY CNY


Happy CNY people. Havn't really updated... just din't feel like it. No, there isn't any lack of activity. In fact, lots have happened.


Yesterday, just found out that a friend did me a birthday post (alongside a few other with the same birthday.) the photos were last year's...and of my form 2, short hair. embarrasingnya!!! dun read it~! well if you really really want to,its here. asked my dad "erm...did i change alot?" "of course you did!" (i hope so) yes I know I'm still the loud hyperactive occasionally childish girl huh who cares tho Gosh that was when i was, erm...14. Now I'm..."In her 20's". *read on*


Was jumping like mad when I saw a whole patch of sunflowers in the field opposite my grandma's house. So b-e-a-u-tiful! took of my safety belt and hopped down the first instance I could. sunflower lov3!


Was practicing CSU (clinical skills) that day. Poor Samuel as my first sp (simulated patient, not sTimulated patient!~ I made that mistake too and was laughed at by my frenz =.= ) Was taking BP (blood pressure) and I was going "but I CAN see the bp set moving...cant hear anything..." for 2-3 times before my fren sook realised that my stethescope was not tuned in the right direction. It was turned to the bell (used for listening to low pitch sounds) rather that the diaphragm! Glad this is a practice BEFORE the exams. *sighs in relief*


Then we practiced physical examination, and I was the sp. Usually, we need to start the general physical examination by a description of the visible facts. an example: "mr lee is in his 30's , well built, well nourished. has no obvious deformities. looks comfortable, under no obvious distress. no cynaosis (breathing difficulties). no gadgets attached noted." correct me if I'm wrong, fellow med students, and tell if if I missed anything out. so, back to the story. I was the sp. chongsen was the student. his statement" Mrs lalitha (simply gave a name) is in her 20's..." 20?!?! T_T Ish...

Part of the sunflowers. too many so took in a few different pictures.


Happy cny people. may the year of the ox bring good tidings and great joy. I for one will do my best to make the most out of this year. May the force be with us =p


**********************************


I mentioned before, and was thinking to myself last night (or was it the night before) that the 2 things I value most in my frenz is their Honesty and Loyalty. So many things have happened which made me rethink what my priciples are...and they are the same. I for one view friendship very seriously and value it highly. I treat my friends the way I want them to treat me. Sometimes I just ask myself am I really that dictator and unaproachable. Seriously, is it hard to talk to me? I understand some people may keep secrets from me as well, but if you think I need to know, why not just hint? I would do the same. I heard some comments lately on a certain someone. I didn't keep quiet, I talked to another related person about it. Could it not have been this way? I'm not angry. I took everything calmly. And will continue to. But it has made me rethink many things.

RELATIVES. SUPPOSEDLY.

RELATIVES. SUPPOSEDLY


I HATE injustices. I really do. Whether it’s a big or small matter, the thing I really hate about this fallen world is the part where people take advantage of each other, or just place their welfare above others in a way that it compromises the welfare of others


And this week was one such week. Being robbed of my stuff...and a thing that has been occurring since my form 4. my aunt who fetches me home (she has an unofficial load of people whom she collects payment from, including me.) rather fetch people far away home first rather that her nice simply because its more convenient for her (she stays 2 houses away from me). Its not fair. IT REALLY SUCKS.


It happened to both my brothers as well. My bro reached home at 2, while his school ended at 12.50. SUCKS big time. if not that I need to watch my words, I would have cursed a string of profanities. and even that would not have appeased my anger. RELATIVES,supposedly. If they really care they should put the child's welfare before them. Lunch at 2!!!!


I hate the unfairness in the world. I really do. But if it were really that fair, this world won't be called the selfish and self centered world that we do.

I got robbed near my housing area yesterday (monday) afternoon as I was walking home. 3 indian guys (i suspect from secondary school) tried to grab my bag (its a backpack), but then sumhow struggled and I was on the ground. One of them then brandished a knife at me and took my handphone and my wallet, containing my IC. I don't know what to do - there wasn't any cars or people around. My dad says I've been marked. Or targetted, whateva you call it. Coz although it was bright daylight, I was walking alone.


Kinda sucks. Was worried bout so many things - the knife that looked so menacing, worried that he opened my wallet ( there was only bout RM10+) inside, and if they were angry... But definitely sore that I lost my possessions. Afraid too, I guess. Of course the must too said phrase, I wish I could turn back time...a million and one things I wouldn't have done. Sighs.


Cost my family so much inconvenience. Need to make police report, make new IC etc. I guess I'm relieved that I'm safe though, as others say, in one piece.
God I believe You will not short change me. Somehow. Whatever it takes, I will trust.

First Week

First Week


Only the first week...and I already feel a little pressured. The amount of reading needs to be done... I need to read ECG made easy; Macleod's Clinical Examination CVS (cardiovascular system), my notes of the past 4 days, each with A LOT of information CVS manual... A little sense of frustration and loss settled in, and just feel like throwing away med school and hiding under the covers...for as long as I can. How ironic


PBL research not done, its tomorrow...


Kinda happy to see my old friends too. Some people its like we've never left, some its like the distance has taken place. Sigh. But luckily the 3 musketeers are still intact haha. Jokes as usual, random teasing and all.... hehe


Also need to start clinical skills. Sigh so much la, with OSPE, OSCE and OBA with MEQ and some other M thing...


Feel like the pressure is mounting, the cooker is no longer at threshold potential...
