SSM and MUARSM

MUARSM finally ended ( 2 weeks ago, so this is an outdated post ). Only one more task left for SSM - finish the manuscript for publication. Hopefully it'll be able to publish hah. I've to thank my group mates(Ainul, Hilmi, Lyn) and supervisors (Dr Fairus, Prof Farihah) hah for all their efforts in helping me as a group leader(cabut undi kena one.. > <) to finish everything from preparing proposals, doing the research, helping for the poster presentation and also in completing the manuscript.

And our efforts paid off (argh, we're given a chance to present in another conference which i don't really feel like doing)???? We got the 4th place for the poster presentation in MUARSM.
Too bad I don't have any photos of my group-mates, supervisors and myself to show hah. XD.
However, I've these to show :

 a trophy

 logo for MUARSM

and before i forget, i would like to thank the organizing committee (Hau Wei and his gang) for organizing this MUARSM thingy..

argh, now left the NRIC thingy only(ponteng 1 week of Surgical Posting to go to USM).. I don't really feel like going for another conference hah, but it's too late to regret... hopefully it'll really be beneficial hah - a bliss in disguise.. > <. 

*i've alot more to say actually, but then, still don't feel like writing a long post....

SCKLM2012 and Proposal

Joined the standard chartered 10km run... Not bad my timing, though, it could'd been faster if i'd run together with ryan... anyway, still not bad hah, completed it in approx less than 59minutes....
next run, NIKE run, hopefully i'll still be interested to join that time hah.. XD

post-run

Something big happened after the run hah, 

one of my coursemate proposed to his GF... 

wow.. PROpOSAL!!!!!!!! XD... Congratulations to Mr Wong Fu Chong and his fiancee, Lim Shiao Xian .. XD

*maybe if i've the time and enthusiasm to write a longer post, i might write one about our preparation and the proposal itself (but huh, it doesn't feels rite writing about other people's proposal in your own blog).. XD.

Haze And Final Year?

haze developed just recently here in KL(i know i'm in Cheras, but then, saying i'm in KL is easier ma), all thanks to those forest fire somewhere across the sea hah..
the pollution is bad, especially here in my place now - API in Cheras reached 129 (101 to 200 denotes unhealthy level). guess i'll just have to cancel my plans to train for the coming 10km jog hah - great excuse to skip them, XP, i don't really like jogging...

view from my room, 4th floor wey, argh, i've to climb dunno how many times daily..> <..

i'll just have to stay indoors till I-D-K-when.....
not that bad actuallly, i'll have more time to study??? XP...


By the way, some surprising fact,
I'm already a final year student...
Surprised???
of cos you would hah, cos i don't look like one....
I still remember some 3rd years saying that i look like a 1st year last year, LAST YEAR, I look that young huh. XD

still don't feel like a final year student yet...
still feeling like, "How the hell did i get here so fast?"
(not sure how all my previous seniors and my batch mates felt, maybe we're just the same?)
Anyway, it's about time to behave more like a final year student and get more serious in studying hah..... 

Good luck to all my course mates in final year.. XD

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

(just started to watch this variety show, Running Man, quite funny,  copying them. XP)

Short hair and benefits (not)

went to see a barber for a hair cut. argh, he gave me a freaking short one (can't blame him though, my fault). anyway, it isn't that bad la... having short hair have a lot of advantages anyway

1) cutting away those hair means losing a few hundred grams of weight. hence the body is now lighter. and with a lighter body, you can jump higher..... in fact, i just jumped up to my room located at 3rd floor with just a leap hah.. imagine how much energy i saved from climbing those seemingly-endless stairs

2) shorter hair means using smaller amount of shampoo... wow, imagine the amount of money i can save from buying shampoos...with the money, i can invest and invest and invest more, i'm gonna be a billionaire, wowwwww...  and oh well, who cares if i make de company of the shampoo i use bankrupt rite?

3) the shorter the hair, the more rigid it is,. the more rigid it is, the harder for it to bend when applied pressure. these short hair which is sharp become tough are equivalent to millions of needles stuck out from your head.... dear offenders, beware of me and my hairs, i'll stab you to death with them.

4) hair is black, black things absorb heat. the longer your hair the more heat it absorbs. hair also prevents heat to dissipate from the head. the brain is in the head, so, a long hair can fry your brain.. wow, i should thank the barber for rescuing my brain....

jensen ackles.. just wanna post this since he got short hair (plus it'll be weird writing a post without putting in images).... 

this has nothing to do with me or my hair. XD..

Wedding!!!! & Secondary School Mates

WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at last someone scores the first blood !!!!!!! the first to get married from my secondary school batch.. congratulations on your marriage hah Mr Fan, wishing you all the love and happiness in the world.....

the newly-wed

the night before we go "jip san leong" (or pick the bride) : decorating the car 

group photo after the wedding dinner

Had a super nice experience in becoming one of the 'heng dei' to pick the bride... XD.. (no photos for this, XP).. That was my first hah...  

Had a nice opportunity to hang out with those old buddies, how amazed i was to see the same-old-them ( how people never change )... lol..... 

Let's play a guessing game on who will be the next??? XD

Jogging and Masochism

I've been training for my 3rd marathon run ( the 1st and 2nd was 1 and 2 years ago respectively ) unless you count the 7km run when I was in form 5 to be my first, then this will be my 4th...

Training for a marathon and jogging leisurely are two different entities.... One week ago, if you ask me, I'd tell you that i agree with the phrase "Jogging are for masochist"(and i'd been like bitching about it since a few weeks back to a lot of people). The reason to it  was because, you're like torturing to push yourself to your limit if not surpassing it every time you train. You see, i used the word "train" but not jog, but of cause the training consist of jogging. However, the main difference is you've to push yourself when you train, but not when you're jogging leisurely; there's a huge difference between jogging for a whole 50minutes non-stop and jogging for like just 15-20minutes. Oh yea, 50minutes is the max i can do now. Yup, I'm bragging, XP. Pretty impressive for not-a-frequent marathon-runner, rite? (however, i did it only twice, got to this just recently) 

Anyway, what i wanna say is that, I wouldn't agree entirely to the statement "Jogging are for masochist" now. 

Good Luck to my course-mates and me who're joining the run. 

Happy training and all the best hah cos you guys will be smelling my fart (directing this to people in the same category with me  - just kidding)

Oral Ulcer and Spartan Beetle

It has been like 5 days(should be la, still disorientated to time) dy but it's still there, argh, how long is it gonna stay. > <.  the pain when you're opening your mouth, argh, freakingly annoying, not to mention while eating, talking or brushing your teeth.. ARGH...  get better already please... T-T

btw, there's this "Spartan beetle" who flew in from nowhere to dance around my room but rammed itself at the fan that is rotating-at-the-speed-that-can-cut-your-freaking-head-into-two, FOUR TIMES, but it's still alive... that's why i called it a Spartan. XD. anyway, i managed to catch and had set it free, now probably flying (or lying down somewhere, bleeding from everywhere if not with massive internal hemorrhage - i thought i heard something dropping on the roof 3 stories below) freely, and hopefully happily. 

One-sided!? (Cats: really is)

I like cats. I like dogs. In fact, I think I like a lot of other animals (not pesky insects though eg mosquitoes, cockroaches).

Talking about cats, my house used to have a lot of them, but then, many died being poisoned by neighbours or being kidnapped. Yea, being kidnapped, literally.

Cats are fun to play with. However, lot of my friends are airulophobic, though they never admit it, they’ll just say that cats are dirty, but then, a lot of things are dirty too. However, not many things can make them jump and shout when it brushes their lower limbs when eating, but the thought that it might be a cat can, efficiently. Its hilarious most of the time, XD, no offend, but it really is to me.

You see, you can play, cuddle, pet or even caress them, and most of the time they enjoy it too (at least i think they are). I know I liked the cats, but, the thing is, you won’t be sure if they like you back. You see, the thing is, you’re the one who usually find them to play. They seldom find you, unless of cause when they’re hungry and you’re holding snacks, they’ll come and show some affection (by rubbing at your leg??) and mewing like crazy, hoping that you’ll give them some. Or, when they think that your lap or some other part of your body is like a pillow, otherwise, dream on they’ll come to you. It’s like an unrequited love, but then, they’re CATS.

Treasures & Dragons(not really)

braving through the vast marsh with muddy seawater at knee level, going through thick forest with only tiny rays of sunlight piercing through the thick canopy, at last they reach the cave where the fabled treasure is. but to salvage it, one have to slay the dragon guarding it; the over-sized-reptile with rainbow-colored-scales glittering   like a terrace-house-sized T.V. in the cave and ..... go google for the rest of the story..

The paragraph above was intended to waste your time, XP, booyaaaaaaa.... 

See this "Goddess Tree" ?? It's just beside my house....

 And yea, there are fruits there, the Goddess Fruit..females like this fruit, that's why i say renamed it the "Goddess Fruit" XP

And yea, to get the fruits one will have to climb up to take it... and if you think it was easy (which actually was, if it was just the climbing part), think again, the fruits were guarded by these annoying ants. They made a nest at one of the leaves. curse them.. > <... anyway,no pain,no gain...

see those ants, those are the soldiers i guess, all of them came out when i 'approached' their nest

Completed the game I'd mentioned from the previous post. Took me almost 60hours++ to complete the story together with some side quests. But still, there're loads of uncompleted ones which i don't plan to complete it as it'll take another 20hours at least.


Well, below is a summarized plot of the game :

Persona4 - You'll play the silent protagonist, a 2nd-year-high school student who'd been transferred to a peaceful kampung called Inaba for a year. However, weird murders started to happen and he found himself getting involved. People get thrown into the T.V and will be killed by their own 'shadow' if they couldn't get out of it within limited weeks. A shadow is a their suppressed personality, in easier terms, their evil side. Harnessing the power of a persona(some sort of power), the protagonist went into the TV world to save the people who get thrown into it and to investigate and stop the person behind the murder.

P/S Yeap, I'd a 12days trip to Taiwan with my coursemates, but urgh, 12 days wey + I haven't get my hands on all the photos yet, so, nope, not gonna do a post about taiwan anytime soon. XP

Holiday - Game On

can safely say that the holiday has begun now. tonnes of plans, drafted before the exam ends, yet, after i returned home, i found something that my hand had never touched for like years - Video Games, and this actually stirred my initial plans for the holiday.

My first quest for this holiday is to complete the RPG game, so,

Just to share something weird in the game:

protagonists : Highschool students
These so-called highschool students venture into unknown world to battle freaking monsters like 10x their size but win, yet they're afraid of high-school delinquents from their own school. wth rite? XP

Paintball and Holiday

Paintball.... 

2 words, FREAKING AWESOME.... though it hurts a little (I'm not sissy, OK??? it really does hurt.. )

BB1M..
Yeap, used the remaining 2 vouchers yesterday.... hope i'll read the books i bought hah.. XD..and to those who still haven't use it, just a reminder, the expiry date is near.. XP

HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The end of paeds OSCE last Friday indicates the beginning of a 2 month holiday (hopefully. I'm expecting a Pass, oh please, please let me.. > <) 

had a rough game plan drafted out, 

1) 3 more weeks left,

2) so many new books

3) so many new magazines

4) so many drama series

5) so many movies

Hopefully i'll have the time to get all things i'd plan, going to plan. Happy holiday to my coursemates also hah. 

Yea, it's Awesome

Been scrolling around the blog 1000awesomethings.com when i stumbled upon this:

296# Making a Baby Laugh

Because you know they're not faking it.

AWESOME!

Yup... they're awesome... and they're nice and cute (when they don't go crying at the sight of your face at the top of their lungs clinging to their mums as if you're a psycho murderer who's planning to tear them limb to limb: or when their diapers are clean)

Peads posting, end of 6th week

Good luck to me and my fellow posting mates for the coming short case. XD

It's Like Digging Your Own Grave

Hey you, when do you want to stop digging?

*silent, cont. digging

It's time to stop digging and get out of the hole.

*looked at you, smiled, but cont. digging.

Why do you still want to dig it anyway?

*not answering, cont. digging

It'll be too deep to climb up yourself later, ya know?

*look at you, nodded, but cont. digging

(you walked away)

~few hours later~

Hey there, i see you're still digging?

*gave a nod, and cont. digging

How's it going so far?

*gave a smile, and cont digging

What's so important in there anyway?

*ignored it, cont. digging

You know what, I'll go get a long rope to help you get out later after you've finished it.

(walked away)

~few hours later~

WOAH, YOU'RE REALLY DIGGING HARD I SEE!!!

*sound of someone digging

I CAN'T SEE YOU, IT'S TOO DARK..

*faint digging sound

CAN YOU HEAR ME??

*someone panting

ARE YOU STILL THERE DIGGING???

~suddenly~

the earth shoke

*rumbling sound

the earth surrounding the hole starts to crumble bit by bit.

*sound effect

the ground surrounding it starts to cave in.

*sound effect

within seconds, the hole is covered by earth.

*dead silence

and there he stayed, buried forever, alone and dead.

you stood there, staring at the now covered hole, still figuring what'd happened.

~The End~

What?? you dun like the ending?? K then, we'll change it....

~suddenly~

the sky turned grey, big cumulonimbus clouds came out of nowhere.

And a heavy downpour came all of a sudden, so heavy that your vision is limited to less than 5 meters.

You threw the rope down and shouted him to climb up.

You felt a thug, he's climbing up.

But the rope is too slippery, and it slipped out from your hand.

*thump

You heard something felt hard inside the hole.

But you can do nothing now

You can only watch helplessly as the rain water begins to fill up the hole.

~The end~

She just thanked me like 5 seconds ago after i opened the door for her, and he said i was not gentleman enuf, just because i din open de next door where he was standing at while staring at us with a "please move faster and dun try to waste my time" look. and apparently i have the 'general population look' cos tat one action i missed can cause him to generalize all medic guys as 'tak tau be gentleman'..

he led us with answers such as central cord syndrome to his 'what type of spinal cord lesion that you know' before bashed me with 'you should classified that to complete and incomplete transection first' because i continued answering him with ant. cord syn, Brown Sequard syn. etc.

"What is the presentation for spinal shock for the first 48 hours?"
Me - it can present with a neurogenic shock due to autonomic dysregulation. and also for the first 48hours there'll be a lower motor neuron *interupted before i can blurt out the word SYMPTOM
"WAT? you sure it's lower motor neuron" *stare at me
"it'll present with muscle paralysis and areflexia"
Me thinking - wth.. correct la me, paralysis and areflexia is a symptom of LMN lesion ma, and i thought i read wrong for a second back there.

"How do you treat neurogenic shock?"
Me - the main concern is the hypovolemic shock (relative). so, i'll give vasoconstrictors and also do a fluid resuscitation *interrupted
"Fluid resuscitation? in neurogenic shock?"
Me thinking - huh? takkan a spinal cord can transect suddenly. mestilah ada accident. got accident severe enuf to cause spinal cord, mestilah ada hemorrhage... ARGH.. he din even let me finish answering.. ARGHHHHHH.....

"when's your exam"
the others - "March"
"how long you gonna stil be in ortho"
the others - "next week is the last week dy"
And then he looked at ME before saying, "And you stil can't answer my question"
WTH, why de heck did you look at me when i'm the only one who tried(and you din even let me complete them) to answer all your questions while the others din even try when you asked them..--_--

anyway, at least he gave us teaching, some other groups din even hav it... XD.. but when i ponder back, hmmmm, maybe the way i answer was bad, have to buck up with my knowledge and mend up my VIVA skills....

and
LAST WEEK IN ORTHO WEY.... the beginning of paeds life, PAEDS ORTHO tomorrow before going to PAEDS POSTING next week. XD..

when you had just convince yourself that psychiatry is over, and your supervisor happily inform you about doing a long case

when you were just about to prepare to read for long case, and you just have to remember about your part of yet-to-start power point presentation for SSM

when you were just thinking of doing your SSM after dinner, and you've to go out for _______ but they ______

when you're irritable and wanna quench your thirst, your water bottle will so-happened to be empty, and you've to refill it from a 70-year-old-male-with-severe-BPH-liked water filter taking years to fill a 500ml bottle.

when you really need a bath at night, and the weather is so freezing cold

when there's an ulcer in your mouth, and you've to brush your teeth, and gargle with Listerine

when you were just thinking of sleeping, and it just occurred to you that you haven't hang the clothes you washed before dinner.


at the end of the day, you'll just look back and complain about how miserable and wretched the day was, every wonderful or blessed incidences and events being shrouded and concealed.
yea, this is life...

Internal Med Goals.... XD

Academically :
1) spend more time studying the clinical diseases and related things (and i mean alot more) rather than playing games(basketball tak kira though)

2) get myself one chaperon who'll push me to do ward rounds
3) discuss a lot with friends when i encounter interesting things that i can't understand
4) try not to tolak yy's invitation to masuk hospital learn clinical things(yy, pls remind me this when i said i dun wan to go ward round ataupun buat benda lain)
5) if there's a study group, i hope i can finish the tasks given to me and i'll stay focus and follow the discussions
6) be MORE YENG than TanHiangJin and the other internal med guys in doing PE (see you noobs do PE amaze me wor last time..><)

7) bangun pagi-pagi and won't get lazy or late to class
8) better handwriting so that i can read whatever things i'd written

Non-academically :
1) Be a man, not a wusssss.. confidence builds slowly..><..... dun expect much 2) Be more DULL .... oops... mature i mean.. XD... no more stupid jokes, no more play play(but this takes time to change too, XD)
3) resist any temptations to voice out stupid things unless to people deemed suitable and close. (dun wanna annoy anymore people)
4) accept the shitty fact that not all people are unselfish, so, change from 我为人人，人人为我 to 人人为我, 我为人人.
5) Healthy life-style
6) I might fall flat, i might stay flat for awhile, but i'll soar to greater heights.. (kick me if i lie too long though)




I'm soo gonna print it out after editing a little bit more and paste it all over my room to remind me of my goals..XD... ~Deadline~ Sunday, 15th August 2010

Short Reflection of JKM Posting

Made a few promises and :
A) academic
1) Finish all JKM tasks and lectures and whatever assignments so that ,
2) I could cover talley
3) Prepare for internal med by reading and doing notes on diseases in In A Page Medicine
4) Finish Made It Easy ECG

B) non-academic
1) training for basketball and sharpen the skills to become more YENG.. XP
2) do more pushups and situps so that i would get back the matri-time body shape


What i'd achieve :
Non for the academic part, and non for the non-academic part.... No one to blame but me myself.. ><... But there's no use reminiscing the past, we've to look FORWARD.. hoho...

Time for new posting resolution.. XD.. INTERNAL MED.. HERE I COME....XD

JKM ENDs!!!!!!!!

Time flies freaking fast, and here i am now back here in HUKM, sitting on the chair enjoying the nice view of the blood-stained evening sky from within the cosy and comfortable B4402 room. It's undeniably nice to be able return to the throne, reuniting with the royal members after a long 2 months battle at an unknown region where 'the survival of the fittest' rule applies even among us companions. "The weak will always be the prey." This statement had been reinforced and undoubtly had been embedded into the deepest part of my brain and will unmistakenly reminds me of how self-centered and egocentric a human can be, for God knows how long. It's surprising to see how far someone can go to fulfil their selfish desires, neglecting the feelings and the needs of everyone else just to assure that their spoiled life is a little bit more comfortable. Frankly, i do abhor people who are overindulged in themselves. Wouldn't it be better to take a step back to let some other people who benefits more from the privilege have it?


Awww..... Let's move on to something else, it's getting on my nerve dy. XD.....








I'd officially finished my JKM posting. XD... And one word for this posting, EPIC!!!!!!!!!. XD.. Though the load of assignment was a little bit larger than what i'd expected, overall, the posting is a thumbs up. XD. Talking bout friends here in this posting, I'd never thought intially that i would have that much fun with them. Thanks to my HOUSEMATES, MrLoo, MrYirong, MrJuinyi and MR Chan, I'd such a great time in the Rumah Sewa, and yea, undoubtly, the days when i was having fever were the days i enjoyed the most. XD.. And not to forget MrRyan, MrFuchong, MrJojo and MrHari, XD, you guys rocks.. and MissAli and MissPC and the other gals there JKM.. XD. din know that i could have such a great time wit you guys.

To all my friends who will be doing JKM posting later, XD, Enjoy Everybit of it there. Frankly, i'd never liked the place, the posting when i was actually in the post, and i'll take back those words now.

And here's a few shots of what interesting things we can do with TREES.. XD

GOODBYE TANJUNG KARANG.. XD

'guilty'ing

If i'd just din make such a stupid mistake,
If i'd just notice my mistake earlier,
If i'd just come up with tat a few minutes earlier, everything would be a lot better.. ><

Guilty

Next time open your eyes big big please
Next time see clear clear please
Next time think faster please
