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

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.
