2nd day at work

Things are getting busy. Oh by the way, I've finished the host and it's nice. I think I'm changing into a cry baby if I don't control myself. Like during Toystory 3, I didn't really cry my heart out (I'll do it if I'm alone) and hence when I read this book, I have the feeling to do so BUT of course I didn't!!

Anyway, back to work life. How is it??

Oh, I haven't tell you. I'm working in the CEO's office so I MUST wear formal (cannot be lazy like in IMU jeez) and yesterday the CEO came and many staffs had meeting with him to the point he said loudly (I don't know if it's him or other people) "Why keep having meeting, you guys don't need to work ah?!"

So, the 1st task for yesterday was to photostate this whole stack of paper and I got a deep wound from the staple because the paper was very unorganized. Next, the staff who sat behind me came and teach me who to operate their system and it was easy to remember at 1st but I wrote down just in case I forget which is something that WILL happen.

Later, another staff came and taught me more and she didn't really teach. She just showed and left and I couldn't follow so she showed me again. I still could not remember so I explored by myself yet could not do anything.

After lunch, the 1st staff came and I asked for her help. Thank god she was nice enough to teach. Then she told me, I will be leaving next month so you better learn up quick. OMG!!! Oh ya, this staff is 1 year older than me and she worked here 2 years already.

In the midst of using the system, I went to send some documents to other departments at other floor too and at 10 floor, some ladies interrogated me. They finally found out I'm a medical student and the expected sentence came -- When we come and see you, don't charge us that expensive ya!! JEEZ~~~

OK, it's 6.30am and I got to go take bath already. I sent a FB message to a doctor I know when I was in sem 1 completing my COP and he saw my picture. Guess what he added in his message

.....A word of advice.Ditch the specs.You look good without it.

HAHAHAHAHHA!!!!

1st day in corporate world

So today, I finally had a taste of working in the corporate world.

1st day's feeling-- BORING!!!!

I actually almost finish reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer!!

The people there gave me a few tasks of passing some document to other departments at other floor and that's it. The toughest thing for today was remembering names hehe.

Anyway, if this goes on, I might as well just bring papa patho there and read!! LOL!!!

But I have the feeling that this freedom might not last long.

Wish me luck for tomorrow =)

New hairstyle, New changes

Today is a very VERY productive day!!

Morning went for a 20 minutes jog because got to sent dad down to KL by 8am.

Next, went to YMCA to (FINALLY!!) sign up for sign language class and had breakfast. At first we wanted to go to Decanter for breakfast but since we were at YMCA, for convenience sake we just ate there =)

After that, went to Metro Prima Kepong to watch movies. Before that, went and bought dresses!! Gasp!!! Me wearing dresses only happens when an alien takes over my body.
Nope, I've check. This is me, a new me after this new hairstyle. Wow, new hairstyle really brings a whole new personality. Maybe you guys can give it a try =P
OK, so I bought 2 dresses and I kinda like it. Gasp!! Me liking me wearing dress?! OK, this is starting to feel creepy. Anyone wanna check if I am an alien now??

Anyway, my mom and I watched


and

Toy Story 3 is AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!!!!! It was so touching and it brings back so much memories!! Andy is so handsome!! Woody is so Woody and Buzz was so funny when he was in the Spanish mode!! Hahaha!! Gosh I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this awesome movie!! I wanna watch it again. The ending was really so sad and touching and just can't stop loving it. I want to watch it AGAIN!!!! And it's so amazing that kids actually can sit and watch (even though sometimes they are a little noisy due to short attention span but it was not most of the time). It was really awesome because the noise the kids produced in the cinema was less than what I expected. Good movies have that effect and this movie has it!! Bravo!! I wanna watch again, anyone?

The Legend Is Born: Ip Man was also not bad. I can't stop laughing at the beginning of the appearance of Dennis To (Teenage Ip Man) because he sounds like a duck!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It was as if he was pinching his nose and talking!! After getting used to it only did I manage to enjoy the show. More Wing Chun and all the real stuff are here, even the real eldest son of Ip Man (Ip Chun) acted in this movie and Dennis is the real thing too!! He is currently the World Kung Fu Champion and actually knows Wing Chun which he studies under the movie's producer Checkley Sin (disciple of Ip Chun himself)!!These are the casts of this movie.

After this, I will be going to St Mary's School Band Concert. The 1st band concert after so many years.

Fun day right?? =)

New hair cut after job interview

Let's start with my day.

I slept at 2.30 am because I was trying to finish my resume (so proud of my resume because can see all my achievements hehe). So when my alarm rang at 7am I could not wake up and ended up rising at 8.30am!!! Did the house chores and went out with dad at 10.30am.

Reached the Jalan Raja Chulan monorail to meet my friend but I was 40 minutes early so ended up taking the monorail to Bukit Bintang and walked to the company. Met up and had lunch then headed to the HR department for my interview.

Interview
When you think about interview, you'll think about people talking and asking you questions right? My interview was
1. Filing up a 4 pages long form which was identical to creating my resume.
2. Writing an essay from 3 questions (choose one)
Question1. Describe your greatest challenges in your entire career
Question2. Suggest 10 ways when dealing with a difficult boss
Question3. Describe what you know about the company and how you will fit in
3. Listening to the HR personnel telling me the rules and regulation, salary, dress code etc

So the whole interview was just that. WOW right?? I was =.="' because I don't even need to let her see my resume or certs. When I asked if I need to submit my resume, she just said "ya, if you have it, you can pass it to me." So she took a look and I think she was impressed because she said "Very active in school eh." You bet!! Hahaha.

Went back to KL Sentral and enjoyed a cake and coffee at Secret Recipe while waiting for mom to come back from Jakarta (LCCT).

Hair cut
Went home and suggested to (finally!!) have a hair cut so my mother took me to Mezzo and the hairstylist named Vincent cut my hair. My mother signed up for this package which costs RM100 few weeks ago which allows 7 haircuts. After one guy showed me my sit, they offered a free drink from a selection of juices, tea, coffee or soft drinks. After declining that offer, they asked me which type of magazine I want (Chinese or English). I declined again but they still served me a cup of water and still put some magazine on the table (I spotted the words "safe sex" at the 3rd (base) magazine LOL!!)

Let's talk about this Vincent. He's about mid 20s, have this cool hairstyle, long slender fingers and the thing that impressed me the most--the way he handled the scissors, very cool and have a lot of turns (like having some performance) and I believe he takes part in those hairstyling competition because I've seen such technique in television. He tried to build rapport while cutting my hair by asking me questions, complimenting my hair and suggested a few ways to maintain it. Good, but I felt it was a little too fake. Anyway, I let him decide my hairstyle and I told him I want fringe.

Before he started chopping off my hair, he asked "are you ready?" Honestly, I didn't feel anything until he started chopping my fringe. "Don't worry, this is just the 1st step. Can see that you are starting to look frighten haha." When I saw myself in the mirror with the fringe, my head was shouting "COCONUT HEAD ALERT!!!!" After that, I decided to just close my eyes and hope for the best.

When it was 80% done, I was a little bit used to the new look. My mother who went out to make a rubber stamp came back and was happy to see me with the fringe. "Yer, you look so cute like some Japan/China doll!! Haha." Coming from my mother, it was a little too weird. Next, Vincent and another guy started to comb my hair while blowing it with the hair drier. That guy too asked a few questions which was similar to what Vincent asked in the beginning. I think it's some standard questions for them LOL!!

Overall, I need to get use to this new hairstyle (fringe!!) because I feel so hot and always have this urge to sweep the hair to the side. Vincent told me I must always comb it down because I haven't had fringe for a long time (I think for the past 15 years LOL).

Take a look and feel free to critic =)

Weird?? LOL

Working

Panic now. I forgot how to write a resume and my interview is tomorrow and they need it. Dang!!

Oh ya, I'm going for a job interview tomorrow at KL and I have no idea which department they will put me at and I just know that it's a Insurance company. Smart right?

My friend is working there as a part timer for the 2nd time (she's having her 3 months break) and she heard that the company needs part timer. My initial plan was to work at my mom's company as something which I forgot but my mom advised me not to work there because of the bad politics. So I end up asking my friend if there's vacancy at the place she's working at. That was on Tuesday (her off day) so she informed the HR department on Wednesday. Today I just received a call from her to come for interview tomorrow and start work on Monday.

Wow, too fast!! I planned to rest for another week but since it's an Okay pay I'll bear with it =P
I haven't start watching Dr.House or Supernatural and I have another 10 more movies to watch. I guess I need to reschedule everything.

I haven't enquire about the sign language classes too!! Gah!!

Chill. 1st step. Google samples of resume, then create one and sort out my school certs. Clothes?? HELLO?? Am I the type of girl who decides what to wear the night before?? NO~~ Or maybe I should? Gosh, which bimbo landed on my head and invaded my brain? Go Away!!

So for now, Mr.Google help me please.

Update you guys tomorrow about the interview =)

Agora

I was watching

Last night or this morning (12am) and this movie just suddenly made me feel so angry of religion.

Before I go burn things up, let me warn you that this might be a little sensitive to some people so to you who might get offended, I advice you to close this page and go watch Carebears.

This movie is about atheist Hypatia of Alexandria, a female mathematician, philosopher and astronomer in 4th century CE Roman Egypt who investigates the flaws of the geocentric Ptolemaic system and the heliocentric model that challenges it. The story uses historical fiction to highlight the relationship between religion and science amidst the decline of Greco-Roman polytheism and the Christianization of the Roman empire.

*************************
Why am I angry?? Because I always believe and still believe that religion is all about doing good BUT the teachings we are receiving now has gone through a lot of changes and violence. I always wonder how people can just accept the people who says that they receives words from God and was asked to spread the religion. I mean, what prove do you have?? When it comes to religion, it's all about believing and having faith and all but I don't really like accepting things without asking WHY, WHAT, WHO, WHEN, HOW. So did Hypatia. Let me quote her "Synesius, you don't question what you believe, or cannot. I must." That's why she refused to accept Christianity.

Let me touch a little about the literature/books that religion used and claimed that the words in the books are words of God. To my knowledge, men was the creator of paper and don't let me start with the history of paper making. Anyway, my point here is man can be the "God" and write (or add words) in the book and claimed that the God asked them to do this and that.

Take this movie for an example. My fellow friends who are Christians please do not bombard me and get offended by my lack of knowledge of your bible but is it true that women are second class? Is it stated?? I am just referring to the movie so it might be fictional so don't blame me. Anyway, there was this part where the leader of Christian read out loud from the bible that women are supposed to be quiet and not voice out their opinions and stuff. The reason he read those sentences was because he didn't like Hypatia talking and voicing out her opinions during the government meeting (the reason she can do so is because the prefect/head of government in the movie was her student and loves her). So when I watched that part, it felt that many religious war are due to misinterpretation or twisting of the words for their own benefit. It annoys me.

Evidence based medicine. The words are self explanatory. We should always have evidence or facts that can justify our actions. But religion is very subjective. What I think is right might be wrong and what I think is wrong might be right and we can't have prove when it comes to religion since it's all about faith and beliefs. Most of the causes of religious wars are what? Death of a fellow brother, killed by another person with different religion? From the limited knowledge of history learned in high school, most of these wars are due to that reasons and maybe other small reasons to cover up the real excuse. And so, I am saddened by the fact that a lot of religion is now famous because of all the violence they created.

OK, I am tired...

Go watch this movie!!

1. Watch all the movies and drama series I have in my hard drive
2. Get a job and use the salary to get a laptop
3. Go for attachments after I've earn enough to get a laptop
4. Take up sign language classes
5. REDUCE WEIGHT

Extra plans which might remain as plans
1. Go Sarawak for makan and meet Matt
2. Have buffet with June
3. Meet up with old band friends
4. Have a gathering for primary/high school friends
5. REDUCE WEIGHT

So that's it for now.

PS: Reducing weight ain't easy so can't confirm if it'll happen =P

RIP

I just got a message at facebook from my friend that my standard 3 class teacher passed away few days back. She was my most favourite teacher and she was the ONLY teacher who I've invited to my birthday party.

The last time I saw her was 1 year or months ago outside my ballet school. Her son was only in primary school.

May she rest in peace and be happy where ever she is.


Movies

Last Wednesday watched Nanny McPhee with my ballet teacher and Van.

It was nice and fun but my whole body was aching so I couldn't sit still and really enjoy the movie.

Sometimes when we want to be sarcastic we go "...and pigs can climb trees". Well, in this movie, PIGS DO CLIMB TREE and they can even do SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING!!! Hahaha..

Today, was planning to watch Dear Doctors and 5cm per Sec (Japanese Film Festival movies) BUT it was all sold out =(
So end up watching

It was nice, touching and something I can relate to. Go watch if you haven't watch them!!

Next went to MPH and was planning to buy a book to read BUT after spending almost 1.5 hours, I didn't know what I want to buy. I was just walking and looking yet no books appealed to me. There was a few (Dorothy Kroomson's Goodnight Beautiful, Sophie Kinsella's books) but I didn't think it was worth buying. I was so tempted to buy the classical (Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and Emma by Jane Austen etc).

Argh!! I lost my book identity!! I don't know what type of book I look forward to read now!! =(

Happy Father's Day Dad!!

EOS5 result

Ya, I just got my result.

What am I feeling now?

On top of the world?
Jumping with tears of joy?
Smiling from ear to ear?
Crying at a corner?

Seriously, no feelings at all. It's just a sign that I've completed the 1st phase of IMU. Next phase would be tougher and more exhausting I think. Not really looking forward to it.

Apparently 4 people failed the exam and out of the four, 1 failed both OSCE and the theory paper.

CONGRATES ME108!!!!!!
WE ROCK!!!!!

White Collar

Before EOS, I got a few drama series from Esther (thanks a lot gal!!) and I started watching this series a few days ago and I LOVE IT!!!! It's a USA series and very well written especially the script. I only have the 1st season and the second season is starting soon (July 13). I wonder if I can download it from somewhere.


Did I mention that I love this series?! White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: he'll provide his criminal expertise as an art and securities thief, counterfeiter and racketeer to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.

Maybe the story is not that original yet I love the chemistry between all the casts.

The main casts


The chemistry between this 2 are wow and so entertaining!! Imagine a cop and a criminal become partners in solving crime and start to trust each other even though they are from a different colour. Love the way they talk to each other.


This 2 are the mastermind behind all the ways to solve cases illegally and I love it!! The plan Mozzy (the guy on the right) comes up with are wow!! I would kill to have a guy like him as my friend.


This is how a guy carries his suit, cool and suave~~
In this series, he always wear nice expensive suits and they make him look good and professional. Good job wardrobe department =P

Oh ya, even the actors and actress in this series are so nice to look at. I like Peter Burke's wife, Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen who acted in Beverly Hills 90210) because she is so beautiful especially the eyes and the iris. I mean even Matthew Bomer's (the main character) eyes are so beautiful and intense and he is one charismatic guy =P
Still of Matthew Bomer in White  Collar


Look at those eyes!!!!

I love this series =)

Decision?

I've made up my mind to not take exam before reading your comments here.

I was teaching ballet and my mother went and pay fees and she had a talk with my sister's ballet teacher (was my ballet teacher when in children grades) and the Principal and now the Principal will ask MY teacher why I am still not ready for the exam after attending so many classes. I think it's gonna be a big hoo-hah and I don't think I'll like it even a bit.

I realised I've totally gave up on myself when it comes to ballet. These few classes after EOS are so demoralising. Seeing me fail in doing triple pirouettes aka turns is so disappointing. I don't know, I'm so angry and sad and depressed looking at myself at the mirrors.

I always wonder why I don't like to perform. There were so many chances in IMU to perform but I've never took the initiative to join my dancing friends. Not once at all. I guess I'm not cut to be in performing arts, I just don't have it in me.

Reading this, I'm sure you can guess how I'm feeling now. To take exam because of the effort I've put in and since it's so close to the end AND not take exam because I know I'll fail even if I work hard? I don't know if I'll regret this decision one day but for now, I've given up on myself.

Feel so aimless now....

ballet dilemma

It's been a long time since I blog about my ballet life. Now, what I can tell you is I have lost the passion and dedication towards ballet. Ballet is like a routine, something that is a part of my life. When I reduced my classes to twice per week, I felt free and had more time to study.

So I'm having a 10 months break which is a perfect timing for my ballet life since my ballet exam is in Sept or Oct BUT I have no fire to push myself to improve and I suck since I lack practice. If I go in for exam, it is a definite fail and I am serious because my friends who went in last year and are waaayyyy better than me FAIL!!! Even my ballet teacher said I'm taking exam because I NEED to since I won't have the chance next year.

Reasons

Not to take exam
1. I suck and 3 months to train is not enough
2. I've lost the passion and fire
3. I don't see the reason of finishing this ballet route (this is my last grade in ballet)
4. The exam fee is RM 840!!! If I fail, it means I'll be wasting that much of a money
5. If I don't take exam, I'll stop ballet and I have more time to do other stuff like travel and take up other classes (sign language etc)
6. Don't need to waste money on monthly fee which costs RM 540 per month!!
7. Don't need to stress my ballet teacher


To take exam
1. It is the last grade in my ballet life and when I think back, I might not regret
2. Satisfy the "perfect record" in my head (but if I fail, it won't be perfect right?)
3. Don't waste all the previous ballet monthly fees and effort
4. Don't disappoint my ballet teacher by quiting half way when it's so close to the end even though I know I will fail?

If you were me, what will you do??

Hachiko: A Dog's Story

While typing this, my eyes are kinda swollen and watery. I can't stop myself from tearing when the movies involve dogs, owners and death.

I just finished watching Hachiko: A Dog's Story.



It's about this dog, Hachiko, found in a train station when it was a puppy and grew up following his master to the train station everyday. Even after the master died, he still went to the same spot to wait for his master and it lasted for 9 years. THIS IS A TRUE STORY.

Hachiko.JPG
This is Hachikō, the real dog. He's a Akita Inu breed. I was tempted to get this breed at Desa Park City last year because there was 2 of it on sale but thinking of Spritz and his possessiveness and ego behaviour, I thought it would be a bad idea. More over, I love Spritz very very much.

From wiki: Due to his faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Teachers and parents used Hachikō's vigil as an example for children to follow. A well-known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of the dog, and throughout the country a new awareness of the Akita breed grew. Eventually, Hachiko's legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty.

The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya station


They even kept his remains in National Science Museum Of Japan.


See how cute Richard Gere and Hachiko!!

After watching the movie, I can't stand not playing with Spritz. I'm sure I'll cry myself to bed for at least a week when I'm at PMS school. Gosh, I'm so lucky to have the chance to have a pet dog. Thanks a lot bro for saving him =)

Glee & tears

I've started watching Glee after my OSPE aka 2nd day of exam and I love the songs, not a fan of the dramas and scandals though. I always have tears in my eyes when I hear and see them sing especially in episode 11 (Hairography) when the deaf club sang "Imagine". My tears just couldn't stop.


Another thing that causes me to tear up is my yearbook. Reading my batch rep Kor Woi's speech just makes me miss my batch so much. Reading their profiles and the messages they wrote to me are just so touching, funny and brings back so much happy memories. I miss my batch suddenly. My mother was looking through it and she loves it too. Gosh, can't believe that I actually have feelings after all these 2.5 years spent in the library.

Family = Love

1 week before my exam, I woke up at 6am on a Monday (my sleeping time is so screwed up) so I panic because I know the next train would be pack like sardine!! So I hurried and washed up and woke my dad up to quickly fetch me to KTM station but my dad took his own sweet time then told me "I'll fetch you down to PWTC, don't worry. Go take your breakfast."

I was touched because my dad is a very money-minded man hence when it comes to car, he'll be thinking about petrol and $$ so I was surprised by his actions. Thankfully, I reached uni just in time (before the library opens).

The next day, he and my mother told me "Jene, you need to relax and take care of your health. Exam is coming soon. We never give you stress in your studies so why are you so stressed out? If you have any problem, we're here to support you so don't worry and stressed out OK." I was speechless, touched and felt love. Since then, Family means something to me.

Since young I was very independent and family didn't really mean anything to me (reminds me if Lilo ans Stitch). You see, when I was young both my parents were working and I was sent to a daycare at FRIM (that's why I could speak BM fluently when I was young as the daycare was 99% Malay kids). So I practically grew up alone even though I have a brother. [Well, my brother was worse off because he stayed at home by himself after school and took care of himself.] That's why, I always believed that I can survive with or without a family. But after hearing what my parents said, I was really really touch and was really really happy that I have this people as my family =)

Before that incident, I can confidently tell you I won't miss home at all when I fly off. Now, I don't think I can say it. After knowing my EOS5 result, I'll have another 10 months to fill. Hope I won't get too attached to them so I won't suffer that much =P

PS: Prince of Persia was WOW!!!!! Go watch it!!

Post EOS cinema movies

After I came back from uni yesterday, my mother brought me and sis to Prima Kepong to watch Killers. She bought the ticket earlier at about 2pm so when we went there, we didn't need to queue up to buy tickets. 3 Cheers for my awesome mother!!!



This movie is entertaining, funny and alright for me. Sometimes reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith but this couple aint's as professional as them though. Nothing to shout about besides this "They killed a Mustang and lots of other beautiful Volvo cars!!!!" When I saw the cars getting bang here and there or getting burn, I was OUCH!!!! Luckily the 1st car that appeared (red Ferari) was excluded in their car killing spree. Oh ya, Ash Kutcher's body is smoking hot!! LOL

Later at 10.30am, my mother gonna bring to watch Prince Of Persia: The Sand of Time. She bought the ticket yesterday when she bought Killer's ticket =P



I don't want to expect anything from this movie. Just going to enjoy myself.

Did I blog about how I google map Aberdeen and it's way up North and so far from Edinburgh where Tham is going? No? Well, it's really way up north!!!!! I'm gonna freeze to death!!! =(
Have a look. And, in 2009, Aberdeen was ranked no.4 (same spot as Edinburgh) in top medical uni in UK!! I'm so gonna under perform and they'll gonna expel me...And one of the criteria of getting into Aberdeen is no failure I think so if I fail sem 5, wonder of I can still go..hmm...

PS: I've read Vanishing Acts before!! The 1st few pages was too familiar to me so when I continued reading, everything came back to me. Sad, 1st fiction book was not a new book. Guess I'll buy one after the movie hehe.

Ooo, so many movies to watch thanks to Jon and series thanks to dear Esther =)

Little things in May and June

So how was life for me for the past few months. Easy to tell you.

5.45am - Leave house to KTM station
7.05am - Reach Uni
7.25am - Enter library
7.30am - Start studying
(8.00am - Attend lecture
10.30am - Enter library to continue studying) Before 20th May
10pm - Leave uni and head to LRT station
11.15pm - Reach home
12.45pm - Sleep

Told you it's easy to tell you. So I can tell you, my whole 2.5 years in IMU is spent in the library. Sad right? Not really actually because it's at the library that I got to meet new friends.

BTW, I have a LRT club and a sem3 weird but kind, nice, sweet guy is the president. Our club consist of 4 library furniture crazy students. Haha =P

Oh ya, I managed to donate blood on 16th May at Maha Vihara temple =)

On 27th May (Wesak day), I went and did volunteer work. My shift started from 10.30pm to 2.30am so I went to uni and study like usual but left at 9pm instead. I was assigned to register the volunteers and distribute the T-shirts to them. Those "seniors" who have been doing the same work for the past few years were so panicky. I mean, they were like so disorganised and they still dare tell me that they have been volunteering there for a long time so can call them sifu. Nah, very badly organised. Would rather call my sis sifu. LOL

So thats all for now. Will keep you updated =P

Post EOS 5 -2#

So far downloaded 6 episodes of Eyeshield 21 =)

Went for debriefing session and realised how I could have committed small silly mistakes if I did not pay attention or being absent minded. I now know what type of mistakes can be done and hopefully I'll remember and not do it.

After debriefing, went and helped out my sem 3 friends and this time I can confidently tell them what to focus, correct them and know that what I'm telling them are a definite right thing. Next, went for lunch with Jing and Monica (Monica was left behind alone because she's joining her gang to Penang on Sat and they're meeting at IMU). Really had a good time and good lunch. Sadly, both of them are not happy with the results especially Monica who seems so down and ready to burst in tears when she smile.

Came back and continued with anime downloading session and Monica found Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult!!!!! This was one of the books I planned to buy and it's in IMU's library!!! Yeah!! Can save money for now and it's my 1st fiction book to read after my EOS 5 =)

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

Let's continue with 1st day of exam.

MEQ started at 9.30am. This exam is like PBL where they'll present us a case and ask us clinical questions. 8 questions all together and each question consist of 3 pieces of different coloured paper and there is a time limit so after that allocated time (5 minutes or 6 minutes or 7 minutes), the buzzer will sound and we got to change paper by putting the answer in an envelope and take a new question paper from another envelope. Since it's colour coded, we can't cheat. It was tiring and scary and I hope I can pass this paper.

OBA (one best answer) is like MCQ but difference is the answers are similar and we got to choose the best answer out of 5 options. For this exam, we had 80 questions. By the time most of us came to the 40th questions, we were exhausted. When I was checking, I think I zoned out for a couple of minutes LOL. Hopefully can pass this paper too.

Next day, we had OSPE and I screwed up big time. I managed to do well in my 1st stations (there were 24 stations and 5 minutes each station) but I died in my 2nd station. The hand model was on the table and I couldn't find label A. I spent about 2 minutes looking for it and I gave up hence I asked the invigilators where is label A. They told me, "You can turn the model" and there was A!!!! ARGH!! I panic and went blanked but I managed to SIMPLY fill in the blanks =( Next 22 stations, I maintained the blanked state and could not remember ANYTHING =( I really really hope I can pass. Really need this pass..... ='(

3rd day of exam was OSCE and from the previous post, you'll know that I was very relaxed and did not really study the night before and watched 2 episodes of Glee instead. Ya, so at 11.50am which was the start of my quarantine time I was still not feeling the stress. At 1.15pm (5 minutes before my 1st station) I started to feel scared. Gah!!! But overall, I did OK I think. Like I say, I have extra about 30 seconds to 1 minute to actually stand and stone or even talk to the examiners!!!! I think I missed out a lot in inspection. Please let me pass!!!! PLEASE!!!!

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

So, I guess that concludes the post EOS5 posts. I'll start posting normal stuff and even include some things that happened throughout my few months of preparation for this exam. Actually a lot happened LOL.

PS: Went and google map Aberdeen and found out that it's way up North!!! OMG, gonna freeze to death!! =(

Till then, have a great day =)

Post EOS5-1#

I'll start my post with the events on the last day of EOS5.

So yesterday was the second day of OSCE (practical exam where you examine patients) and I don't know why I was worried. Funnily, I was not stressed or worried on the 1st day of OSCE. I even went home and watched 2 episodes of Glee after my dreadful OSPE (exam questions based on models and pictures) on the second day of exam and did not read or prepare anything for the 1st day of OSCE.

So, I woke up knowing what happened to 3rd episode of Glee (watched it when I came home from 1st day of OSCE) instead of OSCE stuff. Started to panic and had palpitations but no guilt though LOL. So went to uni by LRT (KTM broke down and all trains will be delayed for more than 60 minutes for this week) and started to hyperventilate every few minutes. Thankfully my aquarium neighbour Farook (sem 3 friend who's 33 years old =P) came and talked to me and de-stress me a bit. Later Azra, my batchmate from Botswana who's 28 years old came and joined me in my aquarium.

So by 11.50am, went to quarantine room and started getting signatures and messages from batchmates on my yearbook/ convocation magazine. By 1pm, we went down and started our exam at 1.20pm. 1st physical examination station- PAP SMEAR.....WOOOHOOOO!!!! Finished that station within 3 minutes and had time to chill before running to the next physical examination station. Cut the story short, I think I did OK in the exam and I think I'll pass. Surprisingly I have extra 1 minute or more in every station to actually have a conversation with the examiners!! HAHAHAAA....not really a good sign because I think I miss out a lot under inspection section.

After exam, went and cheered and showed off to Farook that I'm free and his favourite phrase "HJ, Go away and die" was thrown to me a couple of times. Hahaha!! I'm sure I'll miss this funny neighbour. His EOS 3 is a few weeks away and hence he made me go down to atrium to buy 10 packets of Mamee for him since his time is so much more precious and I am free now. Well, I don't really mind and he's been taking care of me for the past few months so how could I reject such favour? LOL

Went to use the computer and read all the blogs in my bloglist. Then managed to download only one episode of Eyeshield 21 because it uses megaupload and if someone else is using it to DL stuff, you can't DL anything. By 4.45pm, Tham came and we talked and by 5pm we went down to 2nd floor to get our PMS result.

Many people were lining out and some even got their result already. I think about 90% got their top choices and some got their..let's just say they were very unhappy. Tham and I opened together and she got her 1st choice-Edinburgh!!!!! I was so happy for her!!! Later Jing came and she got Leceister. She was so sad and well, had tears because her top choices were universities from New Zealand, then Australia then UK and she got UK, so you can imagine how shock and sad she was (her BF and relatives are at New Zealand btw). So for one second I'm hugging and smiling so broadly with Tham and the next second, I'm hugging Jing and felt like crying with her =(

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

Just got back from saying Hi to Farook, and it's so funny because he said he's getting use to not seeing me in the morning (we're the top 2 students stepping into the library in the morning LOL) and also getting use to the new neighbout (whoever that is occupying the aquarium). LOL!!!!!!!!!

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

So how about me you ask? Well, I got...wait for it...Aberdeen!! My 1st choice. Let me tell you my real feelings. I am not over the cloud or sad or anything. I honestly was hoping that this PMS result can kinda be my escape route from ballet exam. I don't really want to sit for the exam because I suck and I know that I'll fail badly because I have been kinda neglecting ballet for studies sake and hence lost my stamina and maybe a little interest and the motivation and dedication and things like that. I don't want to have any FAIL in my life especially in exams. Besides, the thought of staying in Malaysia while seeing all my friends flying off is kinda depressing. More over, the people going to Aberdeen are people I don't really know. A girl called Janice (I never talk to her before, just smile and acknowledged that she's my batchmate) and 2 other Indians boys whom I know but never really talk to too because they well, have bad life styles and skip lectures BUT I know they are nice and good people (Tham tells me their stories all the time LOL).

On the bright side, I can save money for my dad and only study for 2 years then I'll graduate same time as my other friends at UK (their's 3 years). My friends who are going to Aus will graduate 6 months later because they start next year and need to study for another 3 years.

So yeah, that's it for now. Suddenly lost mood to type anymore and I need to go for my CSU debriefing soon. They don't want us to go to second phase thinking what we're doing are the correct technique. I seriously hope that I'll pass. I don't care about the grades anymore, just a pass would make me happy.

Tah tah...for now. maybe I'll continue after the debrief since I'll be in uni till night LOL

FREEEEEE!!!!

Well, exam just ended minutes ago. I'll update soon but not now because I want to read my mangas and watch my Glee and Dr. House and all the episodes I got from Esther dear.

BTW, OSCE for the 1st day was tough for a lot of people. It was OK for me, mistakes here and there and just hope for pass...

So peeps, expect my blog to be updated everyday and if my mood is extra good, maybe twice or thrice per day. For now....mangaaaaa!!!!
