quote of the day

~to the world u may mean one person, but to a person, u may mean the world~

given by a dear fren after our long-once-in-a-while-deep-talk

sspians, check this out!

'm so proud of her....she came long way & proves herself right ...u go girl!

takziah buat farina sekeluarga atas kepulangan ayahnya ke Rahmatullah*alfatihah..moga rohnya dicucuri rahmat & ditempatkan di kalangan org2 yang beriman...dear, ur dad's in better place now... be strong & pray hard...'m here for u:)*hugs*

p/s.. a long-distance call from syu to let me know the news. touched.

sweet home...happy-happy! eheh, now we are of 6 ppl in a hse & the new 2 are just great.. sekepala & lets say tukang2 gelak utk lawak ktrg:p ya Allah, had too much laugh in a day, i ended with headache;) we cooked craved food...err not really 'we' coz now i always skip the cooking part,ngeheheh!! karaoked of the oldies & indons( eheh, sib baik x rak-rak-rummm katil tuh)..all the off-tuned & replay,duhh!'ve got new fav 'dialoques' , lil secrets in the hse!! such a wanna-be-actress-but-cant:p

the reality show? its not-so-clear-black-and-white-thingy, iskkkk! sitting 1m away from the monitor, standby with a pillow & hide behind other ppl's back....i'd say 've watched it:p again my eyes were on the pillow or elsewhere but the screen most of the time...still managed to catch some glimpses on the highlighted part...okeh2, xmoh ingat dah:p

so today, i'm off to tasmania...cadbury's & nature,yeayy!!take care ppl;)

surgical unit 3...ward round starts around 730(huwaa, cam budak skola jeh!) till an hour later.. more like doing wake-up call from ward to ward:P..lucky me so far, havent got drilled by the dr's with god-knows-what questions..new generation of medico's, i reckon;) but still struggling with the list of abbreviations used in the patients' report,eheh:p load of paperworks, otherwise nothing much happening in the ward...opss, got the chance to be in the theatre couple of times..obstructed small bowel that dilated a few times bigger, amazed! hmm, scrub's actually a procedures before we enter the green zone. so syu, is it the yellowish-yucky-colour-iodine solution for scrubbing that u are after??:p

two problem-based-learning (PBL) each week..patient's & paper's..presenting sub topic to the group based on the case given,the tricky part is actually to know wats important clinically among the longgg list of causes, symptoms etc...no point in remembering a particular rare syndrome/condition but stuffed up when listing the classical symptoms of heart attack..make sense rite? ehehe, the consultant tutors helps us a lot with that:)

patients' contact? up to us, but of course practise makes perfect...approach the nurse manager or dr's in charge, ask for any patient's with good clinical history, perform either histroy taking or examination...hmmm, will take years to actually master all the skills , n i'm still struggling to memorise all the significant findings n differential diagnosis for the presented problems, erkk!

enjoying my pathology & radiology's classes, cool tutors...supposed to be self-directed learning but being knowledge-insufficient, we need to starts from scratch =( looking on the bright side, its more practical coz got to put things into perspective with on going clinical experiences..appreciate how they teach us to remember key points for the illness, classify! eheh, pray hard that all the jargons stick in my mind for future use;)

okeh, easter break!!

...not the first time had this kinda question..were asked many times before, and i think ppl've got my honest say...i just dunno,let it be..not gonna think about it, better that way...ignorance is a bless...

stuffed up*sigh. thot that my bad rural experience last year would be the last,having to deal with racism watsnot ....somehow these ppl just dont know how to show some respect towards others, feeling superior over the other,huhuhuh... especially this week, particular person keep on pushing others to do thing her/his way...with the pbl thingy, accept any constructive critiques , but when someone starts talking too much & make it sounds as if others are doing crap...thats rude

again with the grup assignment for critical observation...with only 7 students in this hosp, 5 are in the same group=all excluding 2 of us..left with no choice but do it in a group of 2.. annoyed with the whole thing, as if we the international students are nothing but a bunch of idiots who know nothing more than what they know & hopeless in doing stuffs...bitter!! for this year, a lot of things i've sacrificed but these kinda attitudes just put me down..make me wonder how am i going to survive the rest of the year...i dont mind all the workload, fair enough..but when ppl started being nasty & selfish, hell with them...

i'm not a superwoman, never dreams of being one...i wish for someone to be there for me ...to listen to my words & cheer me up...to convince that i'm doing right & goin to be thru with the hardship.someone i can depend on & appreciate me no matter what....sorry, this last para is a bit out of topic:(

5 mins before i'm off to bed..obviously cant write much..later eh;)

quote of the day

"jgn ego sgt..terutama pd diri sendiri"

mixed feeling, honestly...even at this point, i cant say much about it :p..blergh, am i being paranoid ? maybe if this is to happen earlier, i feel happier & sure of what i'm gonna do next...hmmm, life is never easy aite? there'll always be sumthing that stop u ...

the stigma & 'typical' notation...somehow i'm not in favour of getting such remarks from ppl...i find it very intimidating & nasty...thats y i'd rather stay away...*sigh

well, should be posted later, not sooner..

Apa maknanya impian datang dan pergi

Membawa hati menyusuri kembali

Jalan-jalan sepi

Kau kah di situ

Yang menanti ku

Atau jelmaan titi kenangan yang bernama pengalaman
* : Siapakah diantara kita

Dengan rela menjadi pendusta

Siapakah dulu membina harapan

Dan siapa yang memusnahkan impian

Tanpa sebab dan alasan

Kau mainkan perasaan

Bagai taufan tiba-tiba datang dan menghilang
** : Kau bayang-bayang

Masa nan silam

Ada ketika terbawa-bawa oleh resah

Mimpi yang tak sudah

eheh, me & my mum's fav....it was the soundtrack of malay series samarinda with j!ns shamsudin & sar!mah in it...happy hour for both of us, it is..

things happened.. for some reason or another...all we need to do is change the angle for a fresh look(blergh, merepek ape nih??) well, sometimes i do hate being a girl..why? the emotional instability that drain much of me...then i'll wish for things not to happen in the 1st place..

err what, a cupid???...oh my god!!*bit my nail & run away*...

eheh, ikut hati nak pegi uk nx year..n travel europe..maybe end of the year after habis 4th year final exam..before enrolling into final year of MBBS..hmm, wanna go there badly now:( it wasnt really in my head till i read about a girl's trip to europe & she wasnt even studying there..hmm, kalu dia boleh aku pun sure boleh..well, as long as i save enough money for this 2 years..get in touch with the frens there & find good company to go along, everything should be ok;) nak pergi, nak pergi!! i'm not picky & have not preference over which countries that i wanna go before anywhere else, it should be easier..

there's a big BUT tho..permission from my parents, hardest part of all..huhuhuh!!

nur,
even though life is so unpredictable
let us just take a day at a time
exist in peace, do we are able
although there's always some mountain to climb

never give up , though hard it may be
once something's achieved, you'll actually see
really the effort has set you heart free

travel the world, do what you can
always remeber GOD has his plan, NEVER give up
let hope never worn
live life to the fullest, always believe
you're in good hand, eyes,
you will achieve, each that you wish for

now is the hour, you need to do
especially those things important to you
otherwise life will be so untrue
-ayah long saidi, 13902-
