Mock OSCE

Yesterday, I had my mock OSCE. I forgot what OSCE stands for but the exam is going to be me examining or talking to patients. Anyway, yesterday's mock was on history taking where I'll ask the sp questions and get as much info as possible within 5 minutes then go to the next room to fill up the question paper.

Since it was just a mock, we were paired up and there was only 4 histories to take. The 1st to go was Jing, my partner and we were supposed to ask the history of presenting illness and family history but Jing spent the whole 5 minutes on the 1st part and missed family history hence when we answered the questions at the next room, we could not answer any family related questions =P

Next was my turn and I were to ask personal details, history of presenting complain, systemic review and past medical history. 4 components to ask!!!! So I know time is VERY VERY precious hence I asked asap and the feedback from the sp was I was ok but forgot to ask about her menses =P

The 3rd station for us was the best because we got nancy, a sp that is VERY VERY good in her acting. I am serious. The 1st sp I got in sem 1 was her and that time she was acting that she has fever and flu and she really REALLY do look like she has fever and flu..all the nose blowing and sniffing. Anyway, her character was a 16 year old gal that has anemia and misses her dad who has been away for 3 months. It was Jing's turn and Nancy was her 1st time so she was distracted or wow-ed by her acting skills that she paused quite a lot of times LOL

The last station was a 40 something year old Chinese guy who has the role of a 15 years old school boy who hurt his knee and the knee is swollen. I tried to put myself in his shoes and talk to him like I talk to my 15 year old juniors and the feedback I got was--GOOD!!! Hahaha...

Now, the next OSCE exam would be on physical examination which I'll suck so badly....haih..

Yesterday was really a very very BUSY day..no time to study =(

Unfair!!!

On Wednesday, I was busy printing my notes when I got a message from Yik Jing saying I am the leader for the elective group.

When August comes, we need to complete our elective aka hospital attachment for 3 weeks and apparently last time, this elective was not compulsory to be medically related as in I can take up sign language class, go sky diving and stuff as my electives IF I were 3 semesters ahead of where I am now. The new rule is the elective must be based in a hospital.

Anyway, I don't know where to go and which department to hang out so I've decided to go to Hospital KL and since I always have stomach problem, I'm going to the gastroenterology department. When Yik Jing sent me that message, I quickly checked the i-drive and Dang!! I am the leader for the students going to HKL. Each hospital that has IMU students will have a leader to write the appropriate letter and settle everything for the others that are of the same hospital.

So, since I am the group leader, I got to write letters and call HKL and follow up and every single detail on my own. I don't mind actually but why UNFAIR?? Because all the other hospital only has about 4-5 students or 10 BUT HKL has.....(drum roll) 33 students!!!!!!!

I got to write letter for each of them that are of the different department and call up and do all the receptionist work...FOR 33 PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: KTM seriously is getting way pass my nerves...it's so argh!!!!!

KTM + Uni

Yesterday I had a real bad day. Ballet teacher postponed ballet class to half an hour later but she reached ballet school half an hour late so I wasted my 1 hour at ballet school. Rushed to KTM and the blaaardy KTM announced that the train will be late for more than half an hour!!! I was gonna be late for class so I called my mother to fetch me to the LRT station at PWTC. The moment I stepped out from the station to the car park, the blaaaaardy train arrived and passed by. I was so pissed!!!

While walking down the stairs towards my mother's car, I think I sprained my ankle. Rushed to the LRT station and was still late for class thanks to the traffic jam. Was in a bad mood in class and after class, I had bad migraine again.

I decided to go home earlier and guess what a junior told me...someone got robbed at 6.45pm near the car park. Got scared but still went home and slept.

Came to uni this morning and went for blood bank visit. It was fun and I did learned stuff and surprisingly I was interested enough to ask questions. Next, went to the First Aid Club welcoming party and was told by the admin that a second robbery took place this morning.

hence, within 24 hours, 2 robberies took place. Last night was at the car park, 2 sem 4 gals went to the car park and met 2 Indian robbers and hence lost their laptops, happened at 6.45 to 7pm. This morning at 6.30am, a sem 5 pharmacy student came early to beat the jam because she's having her major exam aka EOS5, parked her car outside Vista C and her car got hijacked by 4 Malay guys. She don't know how but the 4 guys just entered her car (she was sure her car doors were locked) and make her get down from her car. Apparently one of the case involved guns.

Ya I know, it's now obviously dangerous for me to go home aka walk to LRT station at night alone and you'll expect me to go home earlier...BUT....well....erm....

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

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky to not meet some type of people that exist in this world. The type of people I mean are those that (a) back stab friends and (b) those that are evil. The evil one..let me tell you the story....

EOS 2 was around the corner and J panic because she has not been studying consistently hence she asked a senior to help her. The senior decided to pass her questions he made so that she'll learn up all the important things. The senior went to J's apartment to pass her the questions but she was not around so he passed it to her housemate, L. L kept and and did not pass the questions to J until when the senior asked J how's her progression which was weeks after that. When confronted L, L keep denying she has it but after about 5 minutes she went "Oooo..ya, I forgot to pass it to you." These people are evil!!!!!!!! (J failed BTW)

Another type of people I found in this uni are (c) those that make you feel stupid. You have been feeling dumb enough for not been able to remember stuff so when you ask this type of people, they'll go"Hoiyoh, why you don't know?? It's ......and.....so.....LAR!!! How come you don't know one??!!" (with that you-are-stupid tone). When you admit you forget, they'll laugh at you.

There's this one type that I still can stand which are (d) those that copy notes from you, ask you questions and get information from you but NEVER SHARE. This type I've known a few and have been avoiding them so I'll just continue to avoid.

I don't know how long I can survive in this "society" but hopefully (crossing my fingers and praying hard) that I wont meet such people in the future.

Will I pass EOS 3 or should I say, can I survive medical school?

Stoooopid KTM

Ya, it's KTM again...AGAIN!!!!!!!

ARGH!!! It's so annoying and it's going to make me have high pressure soon. This is the second time within 2 months. The first time was late last month when the train suddenly stopped at KL Sentral and announced that there will not be any train to Rawang line due to some technical problem. It was 10.15pm mind you!!!

Can you imagine if I were to take the taxi and got raped or robbed or both? Who should I blame? Me or the KTM? If I were to sue KTM, will I get back the things I've lost?? They still have the face to announce and ask us to find alternative transport back while for those going to Rawang, they got to find their own way to Sg. Buloh station where the train is functioning there. =.="'

They started implementing the 20 minutes per train system since early this year and it's still not that punctual especially in peak hours. Last night (not a peak hour period), I reached the KTM station at 9.15 pm and usually take the 9.17 pm train but I waited there until 9.45pm!!!! Looking the Seremban train pass twice is so depressing and I was really really tired that I keep dozing away while sitting up. If I were unlucky and got robbed while I was "unconscious", who should I blame? Argh!!!!

Gosh, they say they'll improve, they ALWAYS say that. Yes, no doubt when the "improvement" was implemented at the beginning, it was showing progression BUT as time pass, the "improvement" becomes a past...haih...when will Malaysia ever really develop??

PS: Whee...I got the Treasurer post. I actually applied and went for the interview for the post I always get (heheh) and was always trying to escape from getting this money-handling post because I suck in handling money and doing accounts but oh well, lets make this a challenge for me =)

Charity Home Visit + City of Ember

Went for the charity home visit with Deep 6 and was caught in the jam. So instead of spending time with the children, I spent my time with 3 very "matured" guys, listening to them talking about crap and perverted stuff. When I got off the car, I was not the same Jene that went in anymore!! LOL

Anyway, I miss Gal Gal and Mei Mei!! Mei Mei has Down Syndrome but she still remembers me and wanted me to carry her around so she was on my arms for like almost half and hour. The moment she got off me, my arms were shaking and numb. Anyway, I enjoyed myself there. OH YA, Benedict came and joined us and he was so cool. He became the center of attention because he brought along the practicing drum set and did some really good performance. Do you know that the kids there have the chance to attend Yoga classes??!!! I want to attend too!!! (plan to register myself at that home since I am partially retarded =P)

After doing something good, I awarded myself by watching "City of Ember". I was actually tired but my eyes were glued to the cinema screen because it was really that good and exciting!! I'll give an 8 our of 10 because it is really exciting and really good. Want to know more about it, go wiki or IMDB. Go watch, highly recommended!!



This movie sort of has a moral. I think we'll end up like them soon, getting trapped underground because the earth is so polluted. So in order to save the earth, human were sent to live underground but the city was built to survive for only 200 years so when time is up..... (go watch!!)

PS: got a call on Friday informing me that I am now in the committee board but I don't know what post I got. Hope it'll be something manageable because my studies suck LOL.

Touch Groin + Hearts ^^

It was 6.22am when I woke up because my hand phone ran out of battery and I was so late since I wake up at 5am usually to finish the house chores. I quickly rushed to PWTC station to catch the train and thank goodness I reached uni by 7.30am. I had CSU =)

After listening to how Esther's CSU session went, I studied really hard for it and guess what, I got Kyan Ang and he was so nice hence I had the guts to be the 1st to start palpating for the cervical and axillary lymph nodes aka neck and armpit regions.

BUT I was NOT the 1st to palpate another region which was the inguinal region aka the groin region. It was so unexpected when he asked to proceed to the next part after we finished the axillary region. It's not that we were not comfortable or what, it's just so unexpected. Anyway, I had a few guys stripped in front of me and saw their "private part" so I was OK with seeing but touching...erm...have not had the experience yet so today, I finally touched? a guy's groin with my bare hand?? (It was kinda hairy >.<"') Next, we had lectures from my favourite lecturer (Dr Srikumar) and I spotted a few slides with Hearts. It's actually cells that look like heart shape and mind you the cells we were looking at today are erythrocytes aka red blood cells. Then, when I was walking home from the train station I saw something white on the floor and when I took a closer look, it was a wet tissue in a heart shape!! Walked some more and saw a bush with heart shaped leaves. So I looked up the sky and found a few clouds with heart shape. Is this a sign?? Sign for me to tell you guys I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! Each of you guys are like a piece of puzzle to make an extraordinary picture which I call life =)

Maybe you can feel my cheerfulness now BUT don't think you'll see the same me tomorrow after the feedback session. I'm so going to be soooo emo and depressed. Feedback session is where the questions from the exam paper are shown on the screen and the lecturers release the answers. I am so going to be sad for maybe another few weeks time??

I don't know why I have been feeling very stressed out and emo even though this is just the 1st week of the new system (Haematology) and the next exam is in May. BUT I seem to not be able to concentrate in lectures, absorb any information, focus in my studies or be confident of myself (with whatever confidence left after joining this uni). I feel so dumb and stupid when I compare myself with my batch mates, most of them are scholar or top students or straight As student or something great while I'm just a normal average gal.
I'm starting to doubt myself if I'm in the right course =(

Earth Hour..what??

On 28th March, everyone is encouraged to switch off their lights from 8.30pm til 9.30pm.

Ok, just a few things that I want to voice out. Switching off lights...how bout computers, television and other stuff that has lights, do I need to switch it off too??

8.30pm is when I have my dinner, so candle night dinner?? Then I'll be also polluting in a way since candle uses oxygen to burn and releases carbon dioxide and stuff. I'm sure restaurants which are smart will promote this Earth Hour and charge even more since it's Candle Night Dinner.

How about shopping complex?? Will the customers be provided with torch lights?? If not, then how are the shoppers walk around in a huge complex IN DARKNESS?? So I doubt shopping complexes will join this programme.

Let's say I close my shop at 10pm. So I join this programme and switch off my shop's lights from 8.30pm to 9.30 pm then turn it on for another 30 minutes then close shop???!!! I wonder if I'll have customers coming in. So now what? Close my shop at 8.30pm?? Then I'll lose out a lot of money...

Just a little negative but hey, I am switching off my house lights at that time....just wondering...and I got to go...for an interview now!!!

Wish me luck =)

I went and checked out my friend's blog and saw this link.

http://mct421.deviantart.com/art/Question-Meme-Generator-69266481

1. What would you do without Mei-jean?
I'll be depressed and mourn the whole year....HAHAHA XD

Some psychotic killer who wants to destroy and burn down NTU...I know deep down you really wanna be some famous actor but I don't know what genre you wanna be in...

3. What would Jacqueline not be caught dead in?
Erm..not looking cute enough??

4. How do your and Jo Ann's talents add up?
I don't really get this question but I guess it'll be a lot since we have tonnes of talents...lol

5. Wan hoe just got vaporized in a freak accident. Now what?
Now I can go back to bed and have a good nice sleep. Hahaha, of course I'll try to reverse the situation and get him back (minus the emo-ness)

6. Will Teddy eat those green eggs and ham?
Green eggs and Ham...Teddy...hmm...will you??

Go lah...it'll be a very cute couple with Zi Qin being sooo quiet and Jo Ann trying to make him talk =P

8. Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with, Vanessa or Jacqueline?
Can I get stuck with both of them? It's so hard to choose coz both of them are fun to be stuck with (sound so wrong LOL)

9. Oh no, Esther got kidnapped by aliens! What do you say once they get back?

10. If Mei-jean and Jonathan were locked in the same (really small) room for longer than a day, what would most likely happen?
Hehehe, they would be bitching bout something real juicy LOL


OK, I actually had plans to clean my room but this stomach pain is just unbearable that I can't concentrate in anything =(
So I end up here being so productive LOL

died..

Ya, I died but I am not going to whine over it because I can't cry over spilled milk.

I don't know what's wrong with my stomach. If I don't eat and suddenly I get back the eating regularly habit, my stomach gives me cramps. If I eat regularly, I still have cramps maybe due to stress. I don't know what to do...haih...

This is my 3rd time feeling nausea and stomach cramp when I get on the car since I joined the uni. First time was in sem 1 with Ale when she was driving me home. She was so worried, sorry. 2nd time was with An son aka Wen Chern and now 3rd time. Gosh I hate this feeling!! Vomited but still don't feel better ='(


Watched Marley and Me just now and there's quite a lot of changes and of course the book was way better. Jennifer Aniston was err, a little too tanned for me, Owen was...alright, I focused more on his broken nose. The thing about this movie is they focus more on the human beings instead of Marley which is supposed to be the main character. I guess my stomach problem made the movie not that enjoyable.

Honestly, I don't know what to type because not in the mood so I'll stop crapping here and go sleep. Toodles~~

BTW, I died....

die

Who am I kidding?

I am so going to fail...

Just now saw a few questions set by seniors and I didn't know how to answer AT ALL!!

Haven't touch AIR topic...

That's it..I'm freaking out!!!

Can someone please kill me to spare me of all these suffering?

ARGH!!!!!

=(

End of orientation

Ok, just to post up some videos and to tell Zi Qin to cheer up!!!
He sort of went through what I went through during MY orientation where seniors came to the blog and read all the complain posts. I'm glad that I got you guys back then to support and made me stand up for myself. Thanks guys. Too bad ZQ deleted the post which was well written.

And also to Jia Wei which I heard was a little emo due to some personal problem. Cheer up alright?

OK, this is some of the signature hunt things that Deep6 had to go through.

The 1st one was the one I missed where the guys had to sing a song in an Indian-ish way while the gals in a Chinese-ish way while the OOs got to dance around.


This is another one where the members got to stick themselves at the cafeteria wall and they literally stick themselves to the glass wall. Noticed me behind with the notes I was supposed to finish at that hour? LOL


There's more videos in youtube so check it out of you're bored =)
Gosh, I just couldn't sit down and study at home =(

PS: Guys, I am sorry that I missed dinner. I WILL try to have my meals on time and be as un-hypocrite as possible k...sorry

Tired

By the time I reached home last night, it was already 12.30am!!! Variety Night was just so tiring and my group was the last 2nd to perform, so by the time we went on stage it was already 11.30pm...time for brain dead!!!

Anyway, Wen Chern (from my group and was a KBian) actually stays few minutes from my house so I followed him home. On the way, I felt like puking and started to have cold sweats. (Jo Ann, MJ and others please don't kill me) I think I was having low glucose in my system because...err...ya...so I popped sweets into my mouth and keep swallowing in case anti-peristalsis happens. Thank got I reached home without dirtying his parent's car.

Well, my revision is going down the drain and today would be the last day of orientation so I better start being a nerd soon.

One of the group (I think group 11) did a sketch on how we wear masks and not being ourselves. Honestly, that happened to me when I came to IMU because I just can't seem to fit in anywhere. I was out from my comfort zone and hence the real me was burried deep down somewhere. Hence all the emo-ness because I was not me.

BUT recently, thanks to this orientation I found me. I always have random thoughts, random things to say and random actions and I am now random again. Yesterday while checking FB, I saw a sem2 guy with a flute so I send him a message asking if he were a band member. Later, I went to the apartment where the group was gathering and I saw that sem 2 guy. (Mind you, I don't even know him) Instead if just passing by like what I usually do since I step into IMU, I approached him and asked if he's a band member. He WAS!!!! Jing who was beside me said it was weird to see me talking to strangers randomly. LOL

Ok, I'll post pictures and hopefully videos later. The computer in uni sucks because I can't copy and pictures here. So till then, take care =)

PS: Recovering from flu and cough..whee!!!

spy revealing group's info

Ok, I know the title is lame but well, I am going to introduce to you my beloved group mates =)

Presenting seated from left : Meng Yean, Joo yong, Jia Wei, Michelle and Hui yi
Standing from left: Boh aka Dicky, Tay, Zi Qin, Eu Gene, Wen Chern, Chern Ning and Thariq

See, I AM a good spy because I know all of them!!! Wheee!!!!

The leader of our group is Jia Wei and he's a Singaporean and he just left his NS 2 weeks ago. He's so fit!!! Ya, he's as old as me =P

Meng Yean is a dental student and she was one of the gal to suspect me because she checked her batch's name list. Smart gal =) Joo Yong is another dental gal (nothing much to write about her because not so close to her). Michelle is from Sarawak and she's from Chung Hwa Miri. Hui Yi is from Seremban and she did STPM. I lied to them I did STPM because Shin Long (not in pic) is also from Help so Hui Yi approached me and was complaining how hard the STPM Chem paper was. I was like..err....ya..hahaha

Boh is Kok Weng's cousin from Melaka. He and his family is renting a house at Desa Park City (Ka-ching!!!). Tay is our IMSS (solo performance by the most sporting person on Variety Night) and he's from Johor, Kluang. A very loud and funny guy who sat opposite me on the 1st day =) Zi Qin is from Penang, Chung Ling Air Itam (CK!! Where are you??!!) and he don't really like Penang food LOL. Check out his blog, he's so into politics because it's full of politician's blog links. Eu Gene is another dental student and he just came back from Aus. He acted as the Joker on Dress code 1 and I like his slang =P

Wen Chern is a KB-ian and he knows Chiam and all. (Duh) He's also another funny guy when coupled up with Tom (not in pic) and he really can dance crazily on dress code. Chern Ning is from Kuantan and he's a very blur guy. He reminds me of "Fei Mao" (Shhhh) but he's a very funny guy. Thariq is from Sri Lanka but he has not been staying at Sri Lanka because he stays at London. He's also another guy who suspected me because I was too hyper and he noticed a lot of people keep smiling or waving at me. Nearly got exposed!!

This was taken hours before I revealed myself. Added people are Shahirah seated 4th from right. She's the creative manager of our group LOL. Seated 3rd from right is Amelia, a Singaporean who also suspected me because I was a little too famous. She's one nice gal and she told Jing (another spy) that she feels lonely while I know so many people LOL. Standing beside me is Tom and the guy in red is Shin Long, the Help guy. He's the treasurer and his name has a Long, so I call him Ah Long LOL (he introduced himself as Shin hehe). In purple is Esther (you rock!!) and in black is Si Han (like Si Ham right? LOL) and they are the OOs for this group =)

Our flag chun right??!!!! Our cheer is even chun!!! Look at our name tag!!!














I really really like this group because they are so enthu, so funny, so sporting, so cooperative and so fun to be with. I really really like them!!! LOL

How I wish I don't have exam in another 8 days so I can join them as a batchmate aka spy longer and experience orientation all over again. Chern Ning keep reminding me that I am a spy, sheesh!!! Hahaha!!! Let me show you more pics of them in action. Pictures are from Esther's blog =)

Treaure Hunt
Show me some skin...yeah!!!
Some guys in action...how bout the gals?
Pretty!!!! LOL
Apparently orientation in IMU is quite famous..now you know why?? Lol

OK, pictures from Signature hunt (guys catwalk)

Normal...
Ahem...
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Tom's butt was actually sticking out and he had a peace sign LOL

OK, From the bottom of my heart..I love this group!! This is the best group ever!!! I hope I can spend more time with them =(

PS: Tatsuki was so sick that he missed his PBL on Tuesday and if he misses today's PBL, he might be barred from exam so I smsed him and told him what to do BUT his PBL was cancelled today LOL

DEEP 6 ROCKS!!!!

P/PS: I am so dead for my exam!!! Jon, to feel happy in Uni, join orientation LOL

short updates

Exam is in another 9 days and I am "so prepared".

I still have runny nose and cough. The flu that I am having has been with me for almost a month. I wonder if it has turned to rhinitis.

Orientation goes on like usual.

Tatsuki is VERY sick. He vomited the whole day yesterday. Pity him..

Well, thats all for now, got to go for lab session already.

evidence of abuse

I was abused at the wet ice breakers..see see!!!






































































This was from crawling on 8 pairs of guy's hands. No pain no gain right? Hahaha

I think IMU is like incubating the common cold virus because almost everyone in IMU are coughing, sneezing, having fever, flu, runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat etc!!!

The junior's theme is "Ground zero" and we're using the quarantined like storyline where the rabies virus gone wild so us (seniors) were turned into zombies so basically orientation activities revolves around zombies and disgusting stuffs LOL. BUT now, I think instead of rabies virus we have maybe adenovirus, rhinovirus, coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus...

Step into IMU at your risk LOL

Feeling much better because I had almost 12 hours of sleep =)


PS: Apparently if you sleep less than 7 hours per night, you are three times more likely to develop an infection when exposed to a rhinovirus when compared to those who sleep more than 8 hours per night
