Finally...

Finally, graduate from 5 years of medical school. Time just past so fast, it seemed like yesterday when I was just started phase 1 in Bukit Jalil. By the way, IMU in Bukit Jalil has changed a lot, became more grand and more campus-like feel. So jealous of those juniors... dress code not so strict, inside the library has cafeteria etc.. Haha.. but their fees are more expensive!!

It's good to hear that my whole batch 100% pass the exam. This is the 1st and ever for my whole batch to pass together.. Congratulations, C2/06!! Well done!! Haha..

I think I was quite lucky.. Although I got a case with multiple problems, the problems my patient has are all simple and common. Thank God!! Kakaka... And the portfolios they asked are those I am quite confident with. And all my examiners were internal.. So I know all of them, and thus not so panicked.

But I think I got PTSD now.. Haha.. I kept recalling the study break period when I was preparing for my exam. I was so stress and so scared.. But everything doesn't matter now, because I have passed my exam!! Hooray!!

Will have 2 months of break now. Dunno what to do yet.. wanna look for a temporary job but am so lazy..keke..

Finally...

Can't believe it is over!! Finally, I've finished Sem9 exam.. and I passed!!

It's been a tough time sitting for the exam. But, still I think I did not do my best. Actually I've been quite slacking during the 2 weeks break for study. I think I did not study as hard as I was during my Sem3 and Sem 5 exam. Everything that need to be studied has been studied, and I kept forgetting what I've studied. So depressing!!!

Anyway, I passed!! I was so nervous when the lecturer came in and announced the viva list halfway during our feedback session. When he said that only one went to viva and others should be ok, I can see that everyone was so relieved. I really feel like crying during that time.. Hahaha... This is the only time when our class is so united, hoping everyone can pass the exam.

After this exam, I know I'm still lacking a lot, hope can get to improve much more during Sem10. I think Sem10 exam is the toughest one -- long case without knowing which department you are getting. Jia you!!!

Finals

Finals are around the corner, less than 2 weeks time. Compare to last finals in Semester 7, I am less stressful and less motivation. I don’t know why. Remember the time before last finals, I already finish practicing CSU and almost finishing doing past year questions before study break. So during the study break time, I only concentrate on the extra classes and revise all the syllabus. But now, I only started to practice before the CSU is closed for the exam, past year questions I don’t even have the time to look through them yet.

No motivation to study… Everything that has to be studied, I’ve already studied during the posting. Everything that I don’t know is what I’ve forgotten. Whenever doing the past year questions in extra classes, I realized that there are still a lot more to study but I just have no motivation!! The first week of study break is going to end soon, but I haven’t really started to revise anything. Anyone can help me????

I don’t want to fail this exam. I am so close already. I really don’t want to trip up here. 加油！周美妍！

Post Clinical Exam

Finally, finished the clinical exam of Paeds posting. Burden half relived..haha.. But still got many things to bother, CFCS meeting tomorrow(haven't started to do the slides), SAQ on Friday (haven't finished studying).... lots and lots...

I got hydrocephalus for my exam... Actually I already knew the case in the wards earlier because I've joined the previous evening ward rounds. Most of the clinical exam I went through, actually I already know about the case and diagnosis, except for ortho and psy clincial exam last time in Sem 7. Coz I always go and spy the cases the day before. But I think I have to abort this habit, because this is not allowed during Sem10 long case exam.

I didn't really do quite well for this exam, but the lecturer said I did ok. Don't really expect high grades as he usually gives standard grade, which is B-.

Don't really have mood to study for SAQ also.Heard previous groiup said that it is useless to study.Those you have studied, they won't come out. And they'll ask those things that you kinda ignore... No point studying too hard at this last minute...hahaha

Aura

I got a strong aura that I am going to fall sick soon, feel strange since this morning. I hope it's not dengue again because my room got a lot of aedes and I was bitten by them... saw 1 petechiae on my forearm.

By the way, for my recent updates, I've just finished my Paediatrics Clinical Exam. Got a case of pneumonia with Down's Syndrome and underlying ventricular septal defect in failure. I thought it was quite a complicated case, but I've seen her few times before the exam, so I think overall performance should be ok la... The examiner did not comment on my performance, hope can get a good result.

My next posting is Obstetric. Wuwuwu... I don't wanna change posting, I like paeds!!! Babies are cute... guchi guchi...hehe...

Happy or Sad?

Results are out today. I dunno if I wanna be happy or be sad now. I got my first A in clinical school, but also got my 1st failure... Should I be happy or should I be sad?? Why?? I didn't expect to fail as well as I didn't expect to get A. I knew I did badly for the Ortho MCQ but I really didn't expect to fail. I thought at least I could barely pass.. For the clinical, although the lecturer said he wanna give me an A, he only give me 72 (which is a B+), so I didn't expect the A as well...

Too big contrast.. I still couldn't believe it...

Finished exam!!

Ok... I found I did something stupid!! I was checking my blog whenever I posted something and there were never be any replies. I was wondering why.... until just now. I actually changed some of the settings to moderate the comments. Actually I didn't know what's it mean by "moderate comment", I just click "yes" and thus the comments weren't appearing... Sorry guys... but I've changed back the settings....

Today is my last day of Internal Medicine Posting. Erm... actually is tomorrow. I've just finished my long case exam which was supposed to be tomorrow initially. Was damn stressed b4 the exam. I just got to know the exam was changed to today when I asked Prof Cheong yesterday. And... the MO didn't want to give us any tips... I haven't finished studying... I haven't been practising a lot in the wards...regret that been so relaxed for the whole 7 weeks and during the Hari Raya break.

However the exam was not that scary as I thought. Maybe Prof CHeong was too busy today. He had to take Sem 9 and Sem 6 for exam, and also Sem 5 for CP. So he took Sem 9 1st, and Sem 6 later. I think he was rushing, until Sem 6's turn, he became a bit 'chin chai', never ask us to perform PE in front of him and only asked about the investigations. But I couldn't answer quite a lot of questions he asked, and he kept hinting me and I was so thick-headed. He asked me about the physiology stuff which I never bothered to revise. Ya.. I admit... I've not been studying enough! However, at the end, he said, "It's enoough for semester 6." I guessed he said I passed? Or he was trying to comfort me?

Actually I cheated also. I missed the pleural effusion. I percuss the right lower zone of the chest, it was dull and I thought it was the liver dullness. Then I didn't bothered about it. But later during the ward round, Dr. Cheah presented the case to Dato' Kew, then I only found out there was plueral effusion in that patient. I looked at the BHT (wonder why you can look at the BHT during the exam), and there was reduced air entry. So I did another full Respi examination again. I think the patient was quite annoyed coz he was so quite lethargic but I kept disturbing him. But what to do? I was so nervous!!

Come back to the cheating thing, actually it's very easy to cheat in the exam. You can bring books...only for sem 6. You can ask your friend to help you out by looking the BHT. You can ask the HO for the case before the exam. For me, the BHT was just beside me. So how could I don't look at it? (When I was writing this, I was hoping that no lecturers will read my blog..)

Anyway, everything's ended now. But I still gotta do my case report and case summaries, gotta submit by tomorrow. Oh.. ya!! Also gotta write some commnets about Internal Medicine for Prof Esha. I think I finished all that 1st, then only I will summarize my Internal Medicine Posting.

Finally...

(Edited)

Dunno y? The post I wrote yesterday night.... all gone!! OMG!!! I am not going to rewrite everything again!!!

Basically I just wrote that I've finished exam and how I did in the exam.... I noticed I've made a lot of careless mistakes when other people kept discussing after exam... But still I hope can pass with flying colours... Haha...thinking too positively!!! Because I know I didn't prepare well b4 exam... Still watching TV the day b4... not as hardworking as in Sem 3...Remembered last time Sem 3 I felt more depressed after coming out from the exam hall... But now I becoming more relaxing after every exam... Ok I don't wanna talk about it anymore!!!

Now gotta search houses in Seremban and enjoy my last long holz!!

Today...

Just finished my endocrine exam...As what I predicted, I did very bad in this exam...It wasn't that tough but I didn't prepare well...I did study everyday, why I ended up like this? Tell me!!

Firstly, what I read didn't come out, and what I didn't read...all came out....Paul Chen's NOTE!!! Ok..I think I deserve it..bcoz ppl who are lazy like me won't get good results!! When I am complaining that I dunno how to do the question, and my friend said that she knows everything...can you imagine how bad I feel?

OK OK...stop thinking about that anymore.. later I am going to celebrate friend's birthday at redbox (again)!! Don't let it spoilt my mood...Hope everything turns out nicely as what we planned....

In E-lab now, can't write too much, will update recent news about me later at home..BYE!!

Got my results...

Got my results today... I passed my exam... Hooray!!! Most of my friends passed too!! Congratulations to those who passed! Yeah!!

After I took the results, again, I went to Plaza Rakyat. Last time I just window shopping, because I didn't bring money. This time, I bought something-- Gong Qi Jun's animation. I wonder when I can finish the dvd, there are 12 movies in 4 dvds. Ok... now I got 4 dvds, 2 novels, 1 Japanse drama and a few movies include "Kingdom of Heaven", "The Eye 10"......And I keep borrowing movies from my friends....

Then around 7, I went to Sungai Wang with my mother. I've asked few of my friends but no1 wanna accompany me...*sigh*... So here I just report what I gained during this trip to Sg. Wang. I got a poster of Leo Ku with his signature, I shook his hands and I took some pictures of him with my dad's hp which are not very clear. But I left early when his was still signing, he didn't even sing. I wonder they play games after the signing session. Still wondering whether wanna go to his concert or not. I can't see him clearly in the concert but I wanna listen to his singing. But I can just listen to the cd if I just wanna listen to his songs... Haih... CONFLICTS!!!! What do you think?

p/s: Thanks to my mother who accompany me to Sg. Wang... Muaks!!

Viva~~

I went to check the viva list today... It suppose to be out at 10.00am but delayed till 12.00pm. It was terrible to wait from 8.30am to 12.00pm... Yi Ning and I kept praying and praying... hoping that both of us are not in the list.

Few of us were sitting at the bench outside the e-lab. I kept looking at AAD, guessing who is the staff who is going to put up the results. Steve, who I think is too boring, kept telling us that the viva list is out...ok la...actually he just fooled us once. Remember the story of "The wolf has come"? When Steve told us that the viva list has out for the 2nd time, everyone hesitated. Haha...

Well... Luckily I am not in the list. I think it is quite scary for those who kena viva. You have to talk while you're thinking. Somemore the lecturers in IMU are very scary. They can make you nervous until you will forget what you're doing. And you have only half a day to prepare for it. (Btw earlier I have said that I am going to prepare for the viva... and actually I've just read a few Immuno notes only...hehe...) So... for those who kena viva... hope all of you can pass...

After that I went to Plaza Rakyat with Yi Ning... just to relax myself. Walking in those shops, almost every shop is playing the theme song of "Full House". Emm...I like this song...Lalalala.... I like the drama too... Although Rain is not handsome in that drama, he is really cute!!! haha.... And also the heroin..Song Hui Qiao...I prefer her in this drama than in "Autumn in My Heart".

Finally, I hope everybody can PASS.... YEAH!!!

Finished exam!!

考完试了。。。捱了6个礼拜。。。终于都考完了。。。

第一次在考完试后，感到如此恐慌。以前的考试，我总是随遇而安，知道自己准备充分，就算有careless mistakes，也都不会考得太差。可是这次，我真的害怕了。。。害怕自己会“肥佬”。

后悔已经来不及了！但是我又不觉得后悔。心情很矛盾。。。一方面觉得自己真的都有在K书，一方面又觉得自己也有一直在K电视。

友人说我看起来真的很有信心。天知道！我真的做到很差耶！有史以来，这是我最没信心的考试。SAQ，OSPE和OSCE，比较有信心的只是OSCE。是比较哟！不是超级有信心哟！其它两个我真的很想去撞墙。不会做的，我没话讲；会做的，又粗心，没看清楚题目；有些读过了，又忘记；要不然就不够时间做完，气死人啦！！！

有Senior说，这次的考试真的比较难！听到这，心情才稍为好过一点。。。听说是我们班太大一班了，他们要踢掉很多人，所以就出到很难的考题。如果真的是这样，那我还没那样难受，因为考试后，我真的觉得自己很笨耶！

今天先休息一天，明天要开始准备VIVA。唉！考完试了，还要读书！希望这次VIVA的准备，都是白费的。那些很聪明的朋友，全都起程回家了，完全不担心VIVA的问题。真的很羡慕他们！当你在哭诉很难很难的时候，他们却不当那是一回事，你就会觉得你是属于笨蛋那一族。

之前还奢想要拿A，哈哈，现在？及格就谢天谢地罗！朋友们，我真的没你们想像的那么好啊！

明天。。。要加油了！！

GI exam...

I just finished my GI exam....

Before the exam, I know I didn't prepare well...

During the exam, I thought I performed quite well...

After the exam, I know the answers I wrote didn't suit the question well....

How stupid I was, I have so many careless mistakes....

So..remember... never be so confidence during the exam.... you will be disappointed...

Results!!

Today our haemato results are coming out. Guess what? There are only 12 of 199 get A. 12?? Oh my God!! This is terrible! (Frankly speaking, I really hope that I am one of the twelve or at least an A-.)

Maybe I didn’t pray hard before I left the house today (because I really forgot today the results are coming out), I didn’t get a grade that I expected. How am I going to tell my parents about this? Usually I don’t tell them my results, coz our results will definitely send to them. But today, when my father was sending me, I told him the truth. This is the first time I tell him about my results since I studying in IMU. I think it is better to get scolded by him now than when he gets my results later. Luckily he didn’t scold me MUCH.

OK...trying to figure out why I didn’t do well in this exam...I think there are 3 reasons. Firstly, I didn’t study hard. Secondly, I didn’t really study hard and lastly I studied not hard ENOUGH. (haha...learned this from DR. RICHARD LOH)

OK OK...I wanna study now!! Don't disturb me!!

By the way, congrats to those who get A and A- (I only know a few of them). (Can u smell some sour taste?...haha...)

Exam Finished!!

Finally, I've finished my respiratory exam. This is one of the good news to me and somemore I am going to 1U tomorrow. This is because finally I've decided to buy Leo Ku's album. YEAH!!! Looking forward to it. I think this weekend I am going to enjoy myself 'sepuas-puasnya'. After that, I have to prepare for my haematology system...*sob*~~
