DONE!

When the last bell in the osce station rang, yippieeee.... I'm done!

So soon, second year ended just like that. And for some reason, I have the impression that I'm still a fresher here. How can time stays still in my mind?

On yesterday, was told that results will be out NEXT friday! Why so fast? On that day, I'll be on the plane flying back to Malaysia. Hopefully I won't be worrying too much on the plane and hopefully, I wouldn't have to immediately book another flight back to resit.

Before exams, there're thousand and one things on my to-do-list. But after exams finish, suddenly I don't know what to do, and don't feel like doing anything.Is it true that things always seems much more interesting when we can't get to do it? In 2 days time, due to the super fast speed of emule, had prison break season 1&2 downloaded. I thought I'll watch it 24/7 after exams. But not at all. In fact, even feel sick having to face the computer again.

Anyway, going to visit Fort William later and Stonehaven tomorrow. Haven't pack bag, last minute as usual. See everyone soon, and all the best to those still having exams. Take care!

OSCE

First OSCE, first clinical practical exam....in 3 hours time.

I'm worried, I'm scared, I'm feeling butterfly in the stomach.

I pray hard.

I pray hard that everything will be fine later.

Please let me talk to patients with courage and no fear.

Let me do everything correctly, may I not miss out any important steps. May I be calm and steady.

Thou shalt not grieve upon the unsolvable...

Med sch has many ways to train doctors. One of their best ways: make all students sit for medical exams in which the questions are unanswerable even if study hard. A friend of mine came out with a conclusion, study or not study make no difference. Study damn hard doesn't mean you can do the questions. So whats their point of setting exams? There's only one way to justify, they want to make us emotion-resistance. Like the beta cells in langerhans develop insuln resistance.

At first people are driven by worries for not able to answer in exams. So we study. Then they give some questions which even if we study, still cannot answer. When cannot answer, come back sure sad unhappy. Next exam, try abit harder, still the same thing. And as time pass by, exam comes, exam goes; flowers grow, flower die, we can no longer feel upset or guilty.

Next time treat patients, even if we can't treat them, we won't be feeling guilty! Now I know why doctors in the movies like to shake their head and say, we already try our best. Try already, cannot means cannot.

Hence, I shall not feel guilty nor upset upon unanswerable questions nor unthinkable solutions! tomorrow last day! I heard people say this is our last written exams, next year no more writing stuffs, all objective circle circle wan! hehehez...

听妈妈的话



This post is for mum.

You used to force me listen to you and for once, I thought you brought me into this world simply because you want to have someone to control. You used to make me do homeworks eveyrday and for once, I thought you like to see me suffer. You like to sing, and you used to sing out-of-tune but thats what I felt asleep with as a kid. You like to read newspaper, and thats how you have stories to tell me everyday but thats also how you get too paranoid sometimes thinking I might end up like the next victim mentioned in the paper. But hey mom, don worry we know how to take care of ourselves!

You like to cook, and you are a bit adventurous, but perhaps because you don't have much opportunity to try out something new in the outside world, you always experiment new things with our food. By adding in something different in the food, your dishes always end up becoming something abnormal and we don't have other choices but to eat them up. You always tell us your fatness is for now and because you just gave birth to that two little girls. And given another few more months, you can be as thin as me. Even dad has nothing to say with that. =)

You used to tell us to not try too hard if we can't understand what the books say, and must GO TO SLEEP! Haha, you are the only mum, so far I know of, that says such things to their kids. You always don't want daddy to eat oily stuffs and snacks for his high cholesterol, and thats why daddy has to quickly eat them up when you are out to shop. You like Chinese Medicine and is always keen to know about diseases. I am not too sure for others, but I'm sure you can always find the best cure for our illness. Just go to you, tell you our symptoms, the next moment you will come up with something for us to eat and if nothing goes too wrong, we are cured within a few hours. You tried to persuade us to learn Chinese Medicine. But because we weren't too keen, you end up asking daddy to become a chinese-sinseh after he retires. Haha.

That's you mum. You can really make us laugh. Happy Mother's Day.

Visual DNA

*yawn* Reproductive medicine is sooo boring. I guess I can never be a gynaecologist next time...

What if our DNA is visible to naked eyes, as a long string of pictures? Just now, took a few simple picks on this website I came across in Jenn's blog. Didn't expect it to turn out as a personality test, hehez. I was initially tempted only by the beautiful pictures. =)

According to it, these DNA compose me...
