CIMB DEBIT CARD Gift vouchers

2012-01-15T08:42:00.001+05:30

Received them finally. There's a rm50 TGI Friday's cash voucher, 2 gsc movie ticket vouchers, a rm10 burger king voucher, and secret recipe and dome vouchers.

Applied for them after getting my CIMB bank debit card, then redeeming these vouchers off their page on Facebook. It's also a pleasant surprise when I discover that they delivered them using dhl! I was expecting snail mail, and was wondering when will they arrive lol

Hmm.. too bad there's no TGI Friday's in Melaka.. perhaps it warrants a trip to kl? Hehe

Coming week is going to be the busiest week among all 6 weeks of paeds posting, no more long weekends or public holidays until chinese new year..

Treasure trove~!

2012-01-03T18:58:00.001+05:30

Oh yeahh,,,

no not the usual sort of treasure one would expect..

Went to this place at Batu Berendam, Melaka for dinner on the first day of 2012. Saw this place the last time I went to batu berendam. Wanted to try it. then decided to try it on the new year’s day. The place is at the same row as Batu Berendam’s Domino’s Pizza outlet.

Ta-da! A good attempt to re-create Sarawak’s Kolomee! perhaps it’s because I havent eaten one for almost a year but I think they’d made a pretty good attempt at it! Well to be honest the taste is still a bit off, but the noodle is right! It’s also a bit dry-er compared to authentic ones.. real ones are a tad more oily.. but good enough! hehe A bit pricey though, RM5 for a large bowl.. and it isn’t that large to be honest.

Also on the menu was Sarawak Laksa.. It’s only available on wednesdays though.. Looking forward to it! *drools*

It's a new year!

2012-01-01T14:24:00.001+05:30

Happy new year! It's 2012! Where many things are to happen! It's gonna ve a great year!

Great start to the year too! Woke up early today, feeling fresh about things! Whee!

Oh and erm.. 18 days countdown till I go home! =)

Last day of 2011

2011-12-30T22:59:00.001+05:30

2011 has gone by in a blink of an eye.. lots have happened this year. Normally other people would be blogging about this year's resolution and whether itvis achieved or not n so on.. but I won't do that, no clear resolution set for the year probably. Should start one for 2012. Tomorrow only laaaaa :p

Christmas!

2011-12-25T09:54:00.001+05:30

Merry Christmas to all! And to all a happy new year!

2011 has just whizzed past so quickly.. many things has happened, good or bad, but lets forget the bad ones n move on to the new year with the good memories! =)

Hello world! A pilot / pioneer post on this humble blog that's from my phone. Hopefully with this there'll be more frequent blog updates k

那些年

2011-12-07T20:49:00.001+05:30

Just finished reading the book last friday. Short read. Meaningful. e.g.

也许在另一个平行世界里，我们是在一起的

Wonder what the movie's like. Hmmm. Probably movie won’t be as accurate as it should be. First thing that I noticed was that the girl’s supposed to be 3cm taller than the protagonist. But it’s reversed in the movie.

Worth the time to read, I think =)

Update

2011-11-20T09:39:00.001+05:30

gosh it’s been a while since I last updated this blog. Busy with lots of things I guess. First was p2s1. After that went to Taiwan for a month’s worth of electives.

The iconic Taipei 101 at night =)

After that was busy sorting through the photos during the trip. I had like 20gb of photo to sort through, and that is not including the trip during the first weekend where we went south of Hualien because I didn’t bring my Nikon D3000 due to bad weather.

Will try to update more about the trip when I have time.

I’m a final year student now by the way, and if everything goes according to plan, then by early september 2012, I’d have completed my days as a student. But the journey to that will not be easy at all. Arghh

I like this a lot. Magic of long shutter speed. hehe. Would’ve been nicer if there’s a Neutral Density filter applied for longer shutter speed without over-exposing the photo. hehe.

Sunset(ing) at 淡水

Next up : MEQ

2011-09-21T21:18:00.001+05:30

In another 9 hours or so.. gonna sit for MEQ (Modified Essay Question).. since anything can come out it’s like too much to read. So basically am lost again. flipping through n hoping to get lucky tomorrow from the topics that I was able to cover today.

Anyways. gonna go sleep soon la. Nite guys..

p/s : you may notice a sudden increase in frequency of my blog updates in the coming few days.. which is a bit paradoxical since I’m in the middle of the exam but I’m treating this as my way to vent out my frustration n stress.. n fear also.

Horrific experience..

2011-09-20T18:32:00.001+05:30

Had the 4th year University exam today. First part of it, the OSCE.

Objective Structured Clinical Examination. Clinical. Out of 10 stations there were 4 bloody theory based stations. (Surgery, 2x Medicine, Community Medicine) Even paeds n obg also were mainly theoretical stations.

So.. long story short, it was a bloody mess. Forgot perimetry and ophtalmoscopy for ophthal station. Paeds’ peripheral blood smear was alien to me. 10 points out of the drain. The other 10 was examination of abdo – liver n spleen. Did liver, then bell rang. No spleen. at least 5 gone down the drain. Pffft. But if it’s my own problem with time management still I accept. It’s not! the candidate before me stayed for nearly a minute to finish his examination! GERAM!!!

The rest.. manage to answer, but not complete. Hope can scavenge enough to pass 7 out of 10 stations. Otherwise.. bye bye Taiwan electives.. Bye bye final year… URGH.

Gosh better go back to eating books. The most horrendous 7-days of my life coming up.. Geez

WISH ME LUCK GUYS!

Happy Independence Day!

2011-08-30T21:33:00.001+05:30

Malaysia’s 54th Independence Day! (not going to debate about Malaysia or Malaya’s independence n all)

AND it coincides with the long raya holiday

Apparently this year’s Independence Day celebration is themed as above.. Transformation Success People Peace.. lol weird grammar. But hey, that’s what makes us special! =P

MMMC New Block Unveiled!

2011-08-21T18:47:00.001+05:30

hehehe. like so weird pulak unveiling a new building in campus.

Basically it was just being kepo one day and went to explore around the new block

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about. MMMC has started it’s dental faculty for ~2 years already I guess. And now the first batch is coming back. To accommodate the dental students the management has built a new block of building. And the new block for dental students is nearing completion. It’s really progressing quite fast.. the construction I mean.

Looks great from the outside. Let’s check out the insides

At the lobby

Waiting area for future dental patients

New classrooms on the top 3 floors. Better pray the elevators don’t go out of service. =S

It’s pretty cool, the new buildings. Didn’t take photos of the dental polyclinics and wards but it should be quite busy when it’s fully ready and functioning at 100% capacity.

Stress level elevating

2011-08-21T18:36:00.001+05:30

Pah.. commed posting entering the 8th and final week already. Which means my postings for 4th year will be done by the end of the coming week. Which also means that p2s1 exams are coming real soon. The date has finally been decided, to start on 19th Sept. Gosh.. Basically I’ve wasted the whole posting, and not doing the revision that I was supposed to do.. sigh.

Oh and there’s Psychiatry sessionals too. 100 MCQs. =S

Droid!

2011-08-06T18:36:00.001+05:30

Guess who’s a droid user? =)

Now if only wifi in the campus works.. =.=”

August

2011-08-01T23:17:00.001+05:30

Oh crap. It’s august already. Means in less than 2 months, if everything goes well, I should be on my way to Taiwan for my electives already. HMM

Scary. Which in other words show that how near P2S1 exams is! goshhh.. Need to kick into gear to prepare for the exam!!!

For the coming week it’s gonna be challenging.. It’s a short week, Monday being a holiday because of the 1st day of the fasting month..

Challenges:

1. PBL on wednesday to present

2. Methodology on Commed project to present (also on wednesday)

3. Commed block test (guess what, also on wednesday!)

4. Data collection and analysis – MAJOR pain. to be ready by FRIDAY.

Damn. Main problem now with the methodology is that the sample size calculation from last friday is massive. All because we couldn’t extract more info from the table of correlates.. Where’s a real life Professor Charlie EPPES when you need one!!

Where art thou, Professor?

Obtaining SPSS software is going to be a pain too. 452mb download for a 14-day trial?? granted, there’s 14 days left on the Commed posting allocated to do the research thingy.. and I need it to analyze the results from the questionnaire..

Totally lost man. HAIH..

Post-709

2011-07-10T12:10:00.001+05:30

Hmm. Sort of like a post-apocalyptic period. Where people are trying to save their asses over what happened yesterday.

Other things I don’t know.. but I’d like to see some formal response to the act of firing tear gas into a hospital? A maternity hospital for that matter? If this sort of bad publicity keeps coming up.. Well.. then probably we’d be having a wind of change soon enough..

Now that it’s over, I can finally take out my yellow highlighter to use.. Can finally wash my car (since the paint is a bit yellow), can even listen to Coldplay’s Yellow again. xD

Coldplay’s BERSIH 2.0 song

Exactly what I feel now

2011-06-30T19:06:00.001+05:30

Gosh. Sooooo friggin tired now. Just before the most decisive day of Paediatrics posting – Tomorrow. Last day of paediatrics. 7am will have MEQ, rush to muar at 8am.. then come back for my end posting long case at Melaka GH at 2pm. WTH..

Probably will slip into a comatose sleep this time tomorrow. Or even earlier. SIGH.

4th week..

2011-06-26T19:49:00.001+05:30

Paediatrics posting. Entering 4th week. Assessment week, I call it. Where everything comes. Block test 2, MEQ, OSCE, Long case.. not to mention 2 follow-up case sheets + 2 assignments + portfolio, where people have to fill up the reflections section. Plus the occupational therapy n nursing activities part.

First hurdle up : Block test 2. Topics.. rather than listing all of them out.. an easier way to say would be almost 90% of Tom Lissauer. That also might not be sufficient. BAH!

And erm. it’s the final week of my “official” clinical posting. final 4 days to be exact. Next week onwards will be 8 weeks of Com Med posting where stuff are settled inside campus. hooray to no muar but.. need to have self motivation to go to hospitals n practice a lot la. Otherwise how to sit for exams.. =S

Cute!

2011-06-19T21:38:00.001+05:30

Haha.. bought this as a phone stand on friday.. gotta say it does look cute. hahaha.

it may be the most basic bird yet, but it’s still cute~ lol. too bad they don’t sell the pigs too. I guess they’d be cute also. haha =P

2nd week

2011-06-12T20:50:00.001+05:30

Entering second week of Paediatrics posting. There’s a block test tomorrow. There’s 6 topics included. ONLY 6. However it still feels like a lot. Mainly because exposure to paeds topics are really really little. Wonder what the hell the college is thinking. Dah la it’s a major posting, we only get a measly 4 week posting for it before p2s1 examinations. Pfft. And the theory part is also bad. So little exposure to the stuff..

Only 1 week has passed. However it definitely felt like an eternity. An unusual fatigue creeping up on me. Am I falling sick? gosh.. this is soo not the time. =S

BE STRONG! Must go through and learn maximum from it!

Happy Dumpling Festival!

2011-06-06T20:27:00.001+05:30

The nice and fragrant dumplings.. oh how I missed you.. Hunted up and down in melaka for you.. Found you at Bukit Beruang’s pasar malam finally.. Expensive you are, but why you are worth it. =)

Happy 端午节! =)

2011-06-05T13:28:00.001+05:30

Flower? Er.. No relation at all. Just thought of sharing this. haha

no title

2011-05-29T08:10:00.001+05:30

random post..

Barca won the Champion’s league again, twice in 3 years. Congrats Barca. kinda expected this result already la.

It’s gonna be an epic day tomorrow.. in terms of my posting in OBG.. it’s the second block test tomorrow morning, AND the end-of-posting exams as well. On the same day. Man.. it’s gonna be tough. the only consolation is that once that is over basically I’m done with the posting. wait. WHAT?? so fast?? I don’t even have time to read sufficiently yet..

It’s a very busy (for me) posting.. first week, there was the elective forms n stuff to be taken care of, second week has the block test as well as protocol presentation.. third week we had the honour of having the surgery sessionals.. and tomorrow, first day of the fourth week, there’s the block test 2 + EOP exams.

WHY so early? well basically it’s because of the Malaysia Medical Association’s Annual conference for medical student thingy that’s going to be held, for the first time, in Melaka.. so basically lecturers are going to be occupied from Thu onwards..

Good news? yeah but the college decides that non-participants should not be let off so easily.. So instead we have to go to the wards and do ward work for both days. pffft..

I guess it’s their way of making things fair for those who are involved with the conference, whether the committee or the participants.. And yeah I do need the extra ward-work time to learn the subject, since as the P2S1 exam looms in Sept, I need all the practice I can get during official class hours. (note : official class hours. I’m NOT going to clinics after hours =P)

Oh well. Time to hit the books. Gahh.. How I wish it was to hit the sack rather than to hit the books xD

ironic..

2011-05-23T22:54:00.001+05:30

It is very ironic that for a future health care provider that medical students in general don’t lead a healthy life-style (including yours truly)..

How does one expect to advice patients when one doesn’t even follow one’s own advice? hmm

Wesak Day

2011-05-17T08:52:00.001+05:30

It’s wesak day today. Happy Wesak Day

It’s also one of the very very few mid-week breaks for the rest of the posting. After that it’s just full speed all the way until end of semester 8 where P2S1 exams loom..

Nightmare.. So totally need to kick into hardworking gear and not lazy mode.. =S any tips?

Perhaps one factor to help would be most of the shows I watch has reached the season finale e.g the 3 CSIs, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, while others like Human Target, Lie To Me and Breaking In got cancelled.. T.T It’s a good sign I suppose. Encourage me to study more rather than watch more shows.

BUSY!

2011-05-12T19:51:00.000+05:30

finished Surgery posting last week. Kinda miss it now. It wasn’t so bad afterall. The current group have it easy, where Prof MV went off for a month’s leave!

Anyway I’m on OBG posting now. Which is really packed and in turn very very busy n tiring! There are 8 cases to be submitted in 4 weeks, meaning every Friday we have to submit 2 cases! man.. Surgery posting 8 weeks submit 8 cases still acceptable la.. but this? 4 weeks need to submit 8? Plus there’s like damn lot peripheral postings this time e.g. OPD, OT, Labour room.. there’s hardly enough time to clerk cases at the wards, let alone getting 2 complete case sheets!

Man.. and the posting needs a lot of printing. The CISS system in my printer isnt cooperating like it should. pfft.

I want my FRIDAY!

Rebecca Black – Friday

Updated..

2011-05-03T19:35:00.001+05:30

Changed the blog template and design after such a long time.. finding the blue theme quite boring indeed. =P Not that I expect a lot of traffic here but.. It’s for myself.. hehe.

Also, I’ve removed the Chatbox since there has been only comments by spambots.. Pretty annoying having to go there to remove all the posts by them. So.. if anyone has anything to say, please drop me a message in the form of comment eh? thanks!

Also if there’s anything not working with this template do tell me.. hehe.

Trusty-ol’-Dell

2011-05-03T19:18:00.001+05:30

My Inspiron 6400.

Has been with me since January 2007. Through ups and downs since then. It’s already 4 years and what, 4 months old?

Last Saturday it had a problem with the keyboard. As a result the laptop was stuck in the Dell boot screen for more than half an hour. Was sad to see it be in such condition after such a long time. Eventually it was revived after disconnecting the faulty keyboard.. And now it is dependent on a USB keyboard for it to function.. Sigh. No more portable system. And looks a bit pitiful. Like a terminal stage cancer patient with multiple metastases to the liver and lungs and bones. And brain. You get my idea. But even at this stage it still bravely fights on, day after day. *touched*

At least it lives on. =) Hopefully for some more time la. Since there’s really no budget for a replacement.

Rainbow after the rain

2011-04-13T18:45:00.001+05:30

Straight from my room. =)

Was feeling kinda annoyed because for 2 wednesdays in a row I had to get wet to get back.. Last wednesday worse than today but still.. Annoyed.

Then this came.

Then..

eternity

2011-04-03T15:30:00.001+05:30

.. it seems. since the last I posted an update here. probably after my harddisk crashed in feb I havent been updating, until now.. finally had the mood to set up Windows Live Writer for my blog again.. hehe =P

Several things has happened, will update if I have time. Currently I’m in surgery posting. Busy as hell. Plenty of things happening every day, every week..

Gosh. gotta study more. =.=

ciao

2011-02-13T08:34:00.001+05:30

Nope, not the series.

My current age. =)

Had a celebration here, Dragon Deluxe restaurant at Batu Berendam

Thanks guys! =)

Here’s to a great year ahead! xD

Hop!

2011-02-06T06:37:00.001+05:30

It’s the first post for the year of the Rabbit! My year! haha

it’s already the 4th day of the Chinese New Year. Means it’s the day I have to leave home n go back to Melaka. 4 days sooooooo short la… sigh.

Anyway.. wishing my readers a happy and prosperous year ahead! =)

What?

2011-01-31T20:24:00.001+05:30

It’s already the last day of January?? wow time flies man.

Starting first day of Medicine posting at Melaka. Had PBL without prior notice = poor pbl. ah what the heck.

Tomorrow got Medicine block test. Damn lot to cover. sigh. after that followed by 5 (maybe 6) hours of lecture. Gosh. havent packed at all ler. =S

So many things happened too. will update soon.

Looking forward to go home!

Weekend ended

2011-01-09T20:45:00.001+05:30

And a new week starts! the second week of 2011. The second week of medicine posting.

It’s only the second week and yet I feel like such a long long time has passed. pffft. so tiring the posting at Muar.

Must try and get through! 2nd week means 12 more days of full day posting at Muar!

Well actually the posting is very very short. Medicine is a very vast subject, and to cover it within 8 weeks of clinical posting needs a LOT of motivation. Need to be motivated. No time wasting allowed. =S

Officially 24 days ++ until I touchdown at Kuching International Airport on Chinese New Year Eve. Gonna be back for 4 days. Short, yet hopefully can make full use of this short break.

Oh. Also sent my Nikon D3000 for servicing and clean-up. Gonna take over a month for the process, including logistics. I think a big chunk of the time is taken by logistics. What to do, not at KL mah. If not I can send it straight to Nikon service centre and get a quote immediately. Ah well.. hopefully things will work out fine. AND it wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg to get it cleaned..

As a routine..

Going Home Countdown

so it begins

2011-01-02T18:53:00.001+05:30

The first week of 2011. Beginning tomorrow.

Starting fresh, in a new posting. Medicine. 4 weeks at Muar first before continuing the next 4 weeks at Melaka GH.

After 16 weeks of posting I think it’s time to take out the stethoscope n use it d.. hehe.

and the cycle renews

2011-01-01T09:32:00.001+05:30

another 365 days to go! =)

haha it doesn’t make sense

anyway

wishing all who (still) reads my blog a

very happy new year!

and a prosperous 2011! =) huat ah! lol

End-Of-Posting

2010-12-29T18:05:00.001+05:30

Tomorrow morning, end postings for Ophthalmology. Signalling the end of 4 weeks of posting in ophthalmology. And also an end to my reign as group leader *whew*

haha

anyway

so dead. zz

I’m Hot!

2010-12-26T20:44:00.001+05:30

Oh yeah!

There are only so many times I can declare that.

Don’t believe?

Come take my temperature. =(

what a time to get feverish man. on EOP week. gosh. panadol, you better work your magic, and fast!

Boxing Day

2010-12-26T13:07:00.001+05:30

Great. Christmas is over. Sure doesn’t feel like it’s christmas, especially with case sheets to write, log books to submit, and to study for viva on monday.

about slightly more than 5 days left remaining for 2010. Time to review the year’s resolution? and make new ones for next year? argh after end posting la.

Ophthalmology end posting in the coming week. Assessments on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Busy week ahead.

After that will be a busier start to 2011, kicking off with Medicine posting at Muar. highly energy-demanding postings to be expected.

Christmas time

2010-12-19T12:53:00.001+05:30

Snowman!

The snowman made an appearance in AEON Jusco. But different from other snowmen this one is not made of snow.

It’s made of small plastic bottles!

So I’m guessing it should be called plasticman rather than a snowman? xD

This snowman has even got Malaysia book of Records certification, for being the biggest snowman made of plastic bottles, in Malaysia.

Merry Christmas people!

Spur of the moment..

2010-12-13T19:56:00.001+05:30

Sometimes in life we have to take spontaneous decisions that may seem crazy to others. I did just that last saturday. Went to PWTC at KL.

Why?

To attend the KL International Motor Show of course! =)

Being a motor show, of course there are a lot of automobiles. Here are some :

The perodua Bezza concept car

Proton Tuah concept. Love the design. Elegant. Rumoured to be the Persona Replacement model. It better be. =) Hope to see this car in production.

NISSAN 370Z ROADSTER! like It’s-so-cool-I’m-gonna-die. lol

Chevrolet Camaro S Transformer edition! aka BUMBLEBEE!

Autobots transform…

. . .

16 feet Bumblebee! =)

Too bad couldn’t go up close for a photo, need to queue AND pay rm15 for it.

Besides these they have all sorts of vehicles on display.. including..

an ambulance?!?

Anyone fancy getting an ambulance? might save you a lot of time in traffic, especially with the siren on! xD

hmm. tons of photo to sort thru n upload. Havent got the time to do so yet. With the busy ophthal posting and the busier-still Medicine coming up, probably gonna be a while before the photos are up. =.=

Ophthalmology

2010-12-13T19:33:00.001+05:30

In ophthalmology posting now. Entering 2nd week of the posting. Man there’s a lot more work to do compared to ENT. Patutlah people call ENT as Easy-No-Tension posting. Or the ORL (Otorhinolaryngology) as Orang Rilek dan Lepak.

Geez. Gonna be a tough week ahead.

I WiLL SURVIVE! =)

i-City trip

2010-11-21T21:41:00.001+05:30

During the last Festival of Lights, I went to i-City at Shah Alam.

Went there with Chea Fann n Phei Woon. Drove there using PW’s car. of course, with the guidance of Garmin. =)

Definitely a pretty place. Unfortunately my photographs don’t do it much justice. =( Need an external flash. AND a clean lens that’s not fungus infested.

Check out the rest of the photos on my FB album la. Can’t really upload them all here, line capped again..

halloween??

2010-10-31T19:21:00.001+05:30

what? it’s halloween already?

It’s the last day of october?? where did the time disappear to?? T.T

Orthopedics bedside endposting tomorrow. So damn lot to read. Hope don’t panic n forget everything tomorrow. =( URGH…

Sick of this

2010-10-18T19:24:00.001+05:30

Stupid O&G’s “new” style of delivering lectures.

PFFT.

these half-assed sessions are not called lectures.

I guess the whole purpose is to make everyone do badly at O&G, increase the failure rate, which eventually would generate more revenue for the friggin college?

Damn.

Studying is entertaining!

2010-09-20T20:20:00.001+05:30

Who says studying is boring?

Obstetrics n Gynaecology

Table differentiating monozygotic n dizygotic twins.. *yawn*

Tada! see it? Twin “pig” sign!

haha should be Twin peak sign instead of twin pig sign. xD

suddenly an image like this comes to mind :

Cute! LOL

Short Update

2010-09-13T22:00:00.001+05:30

1 week sem break is over.

Back from holiday at Kuching.

Officially a 4th year medical student.

My old posting group was dismantled. Was rearranged into another group, group E2. Starting with orthopedics posting of 8 weeks duration.

Planning to find time to blog more.. several stuff to post. =)

First day of 4th year medical student felt nothing like first day. Tiring. I guess from now on no more easy life eh? SIGH.

and..

Bought tickets to go back for CNY!! =)

will try to blog again soon.

The Expendables

2010-08-29T18:21:00.001+05:30

Gosh.

Just look at the cast.. So many action stars man. MUST WATCH!

hopefully they’re still showing by the time i reach home! else must watch on 2nd Sept then.. hehe..

As a routine..

2010-08-25T09:22:00.001+05:30

Going Home Countdown

Long way to go. =(

Rays of hope

2010-08-19T19:42:00.001+05:30

I like this very much. Taken at 6.54am on 18 August 2010. From my hostel. =)

I just woke up so was lazy to take out the dslr. So this was taken using my Cyber-shot T20. still not bad eh. hehe.

Here’s some more :

Composition is poor i know. And would’ve been better if i had more zoom. but oh well. =)

End of semester 6

2010-08-19T19:37:00.001+05:30

Well there’s actually 1 more day of posting left. Then only finish semester 6, the clinical postings portion. Coming up next would be the sessionals. SIGH.

Ward Work tomorrow. To go or not to go.. hmmmm….

med school causes obesity

2010-08-15T09:32:00.001+05:30

Just a hypothesis anyway.

Here goes

my points would be:

Being a med student is almost equivalent to high levels of stress, inevitably
Cortisols are stress hormones secreted in response to stress
which, essentially means that med students have high levels of cortisol

Also,

we know that elevated cortisols causes Cushing’s syndrome.

Hence,

So there will be obesity, specifically truncal obesity, due to abnormal, centripetal fat deposition in the body.

lol basically another crap post on a sunday.

But seriously stress hormones are definitely on the high side nowadays. Sessionals coming next monday (23 Aug). AND there are soo many revisions to be done until then. IF there was a study week then still ok la. but noooo.. It’s the final week of medicine posting.. There’s EOP on Tues, Prof Choo’s coming on Wed, Wed afternoon there’s Medicine 2nd Block test, there’s a case sheet due, PLUS the need to revise for sessionals. Gosh even if i get 48 hours a day i think i’ll really have to struggle to finish all these.

i guess pretty soon it’s going to be “coffee more than blood in my blood vessels” (Eugene Mah, 2010)

Anyone else has got a better solution to control sleepiness?

Emergency Laptop-otomy

2010-08-11T08:53:00.001+05:30

Yesterday evening while using the laptop, all of the sudden the CPU fan became very.. noisy. Abnormally noisy. Like the sound that failing fans in the cooling pads sound. CPU temperature shot up to 85 degrees Celsius. Had to immediately shut down the laptop and perform an emergency laptop-otomy. =P

So, i borrowed Kelvin’s old laptop, fired up Dell Inspiron 6400’s Service Manual, and the operation went underway.

and when i reached the innards of the laptop, this is what i got:

Note : the following image may be gruesome to some, so please do NOT consume any form of food when viewing to avoid undue emesis

Is that fungus or dirt? *Holy crap*

the growth/dust collection was honestly gross. Basically need to scrape off the whole thing from the surface of the fan. And then slowly brush out all the other dirt from inside. Well i guess that’s what you get for never cleaning it up in what, 3 years of almost twenty-four-seven use. Very impressed by the fact that it still managed to spin with all those things growing on it. ewwww

After waging war on it for roughly 20 minutes i got this:

Not bad for a first attempt eh? =)

Here’s the difference between before and after the cleaning

That’s a LOT of difference! Suffice to say now it is working well, and it managed to lower my usual CPU temp of around 66-70°C to the 56°-60°C now.

Total time used for the whole procedure?

2 and a half hours.

Verdict : Success!

Hopefully no complication will arise la. =)

Memang Tiada Tandingan

2010-07-25T19:39:00.001+05:30

Talk about cheap. No this is beyond cheap. It’s FREE!

for those who want to know, this is taken from Tesco Melaka. kekeke. But before u go n serbu the place let me tell u that this was taken on the 9th July so may no longer be there anymore.. hehehe

Oh NO!

2010-07-22T17:04:00.001+05:30

NOOOOO!!!

Android vs iPhone

2010-07-17T19:43:00.001+05:30

Just saw this on fb

So decided to repost this here. LOL

for those who don’t understand, iPhone no flash.. haha

Currently listening to..

2010-07-07T14:21:00.001+05:30

Try n listen to this song. =)

Definitely one of my current fav. hehe

uh-oh

2010-07-06T18:41:00.001+05:30

This is not good. NOT GOOD at all. =(

The Time Is Now

2010-06-26T19:47:00.001+05:30

The Durian Season, i mean

I have nothing against durians, seriously

But hostel is starting to smell bad.

People are eating durian in the hostel, and since the rubbish bin dont get cleared quick enough, they smell after a day.. sigh..

Miserable Maxis

2010-06-26T08:19:00.001+05:30

For a self-proclaimed geek, I have miserable connection to the net. =(

being capped for 25 days out of a month is really just sad.

I WANT UNLIMITED INTERNET ACCESS THAT IS FAST

man..

oh well at least by writing this post it reinforces my position as a geek. hehe.

final stretch.

2010-06-13T18:57:00.001+05:30

Entering 6th week of Surgery posting. The final stretch.

Must… Come.. Out.. ALIVE!

*cue “I WILL SURVIVE” ! *

________

It was MMMC’s 8th Convocation yesterday, for Batch 15 and 16. At Dewan Seri Negeri. Don’t ask me where cause i oso dunno where it is. But many lecturers from Manipal flew over to attend. Felt so nice to meet them. Makes me miss life in Manipal. Like, seriously. URGH.. but life goes on..

New toys =)

2010-05-30T19:22:00.001+05:30

Yeah well this one doesnt really count as new, nor is it a toy. =P But it’s one of the 2 newest addition to my room! Welcome~

HP Deskjet F2410, sold for RM149.00 at Tesco. It’s an all-in-one printer. Worth the money la. AND one week after buying it the price went up RM20 to RM169.00 d! hehehe..

Next one the list..

Tadaa! Altec Lansing VS4121!

Now this baby is new. Bought it last thursday (27/5/2010) at RM230 *ouch*

hehehe..

What to do. surgery stressful ma. So need something to destress. So what better way to achieve that than to come home everyday to a powerful woofer and excellent mid and high-range drivers! hehehehe..

Anyway

Long weekend is up. No more public holiday till the end of semester. Damn.. nothing else to look forward to d.

Oh and i’m 50% done with surgery posting in semester 6. 3 more weeks to go. 21 days. Still sounds like so far away..

Caddy Up!

2010-05-30T08:10:00.001+05:30

view from hostel. What are they doing? See below :

They’re building the golf course. Laying the carpeted grass. Or something like that la.

Yeah, the geniuses at admin are building a mini golf course at the small lot of empty land next to our hostel. Pffffttt.. rather than improving the facilities (e.g. building a cafeteria, or even just buying a TV WITH A WORKING ASTRO decoder and card), they’ve decided we would benefit better with a mini golf course. Next to the hostel. And really near the carparks too.

I guess when it’s ready a lot of hostel and car windows should have many additional cracks/holes on them?

Genius indeed.

stunned

2010-05-24T18:50:00.001+05:30

by the block test today.

Even though the paper is set for final year students, I think these questions i should’ve been able to answer. But.. argh. The consolation would be that it doesnt really count much. So main effect would only be a hurt pride. =S

Damn.

Entering 3rd week of surgery. 1st day of this week has passed, and there’s wesak day holiday on friday. So effectively 3 more days for this week. MUST… PULL.. THROUGH!

Took this outside my window yesterday evening. Peace and quiet. Wonder when will i get to enjoy that? I miss peace and quiet. Miss not having to wake up at 6.15am in the morning and coming back only at 5.30-6pm. Miss not having a backlog of stuff to read or to do.

Haven’t blogged in a while..

2010-05-17T21:34:00.001+05:30

Soooo sorry guys,

life’s busy here. Like, REALLY busy.

Especially when i’m now in Surgery posting.

6 weeks of super busy life, of which only 1 week has passed.

Hope i can pull through.

Long tuesday ahead. Muar posting means waking up at 6am for the bus at 7am, reaching college at 1.45pm means no lunch, then full lecture till 5pm, PLUS an extra class on physical examination by Dr Aung from 5, estimated to finish by 6.30pm earliest.

Know anywhere i can get IV caffeine? =.=

Perth, Anyone?

2010-04-12T21:49:00.001+05:30

Really got one way RM199 flights by airasia!

hmm.. perth anyone? hahaha

Sad day for my watch

2010-04-05T19:20:00.001+05:30

See anything amiss?

The friggin glass disappeared! =(

dunno where it fell.. SIGH. This watch has been through a lot with me. =S

Quick Update

2010-04-04T07:41:00.001+05:30

Update from Melaka (It wouldn’t be acceptable to be at Melaka to not visit this now would it? =) )

Hey guys. Sorry for the serious lack of updates. Life’s been super busy for the past week. FYI it was the first week of posting, and already I feel overwhelmed. Guess it’s a huge transition from the relatively sedentary life at Manipal.. So ppl who are still at Manipal, take note : CHERISH IT!

So.. what’s new?

hmmm

1. Bought a new bicycle ( basically the only ~~vehicle~~ transportation that i can afford ). Blue again, the one at Manipal also blue. 18-speed with front and back suspension. =)

2. The boxes that we cargo-ed back from Manipal has arrived (finally!) on 31st March 2010; and if you see the ratio of the man to the number of boxes you can imagine how MANY boxes were there.. whew. After carrying boxes back I’m happy to announce that so far I have not developed any visible cough impulse on the abdominal wall.

---

basically that’s it for now. the rest of my week was occupied by postings.

My daily schedule would be like waking up at 6.30am in the morning, reach college by 7.30am for the bus to Melaka GH, posting starts at 8am till 12.30pm, then come back to college for lunch, then theory class from 2pm to 5pm. DAILY. well except fridays where afternoon classes start at 2.30pm instead of 2pm. The only saving grace would be that we have the Saturdays off.. But yesterday flew by so quickly. S-I-G-H!

Anyway back to doing my piling homework! need to finish it ASAP.. sigh. again.

And so it begins

2010-03-20T22:09:00.001+05:30

Warning : this post is a bit photo heavy. Sorry.

Travelled to Malacca. First took a flight to KL on 19th March using AirAsia.

Landed at 2pm, plane was late.

Then checked into LCCT’s Tune hotel. Really a small hotel.

It’s a new hotel, everything looks quite new.. just that a bit small..

hardly got place to walk at the sides, my luggage fully fits at the space next to the bed.. same goes for the other side. small indeed. but clean and comfortable, that’s for sure.

Door to toilet n shower. Note : this door have no lock. haha.

Time: 3pm.

Went to LCCT to take a bus to Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. Waited till 3.30pm only bus comes. Urgh.

Reached BBST at 4.30pm.

Actually planned to go to the CIMB bank at BBST to reactivate my account, plus have them do something about my atm card as it only displays “Device Failure” at every atm i try it on. =.=”

But when i arrive i see this

Closed. Freakin bank closes at 4pm on Fridays. Should’ve taken a taxi after checking into the hotel at 3pm. DAMN! now i may need a trip to BBST JUST to reactivate my account, since it is my account holding branch. DAMMIT.

BBST

BBST – 2

5pm – decided to go KL n do some shopping. SInce nth to do at hotel also.

took airport liner to nilai KTM, then KTM to Bandar Tasik Selatan, then Starline to Stn Hang Tuah.

Airport Liner.

Feels damn weird re-using this method to go to KL, it’s been 2 and a half years since the last time i took this route.

KL’s Times Square =)

Times Square

Feels so tourist-y carrying a dslr around town. but at least i didnt point the camera everywhere n clicked. haha.

Went to LowYat Plaza, the place is very different from the last time i visited it. Lotsa new shops. Bought a Cooler Master Notepal W1 for RM72. =)

Wanted to walk to Petaling Street but halfway there it rained like it has never rained for months. Stuck at stupid bus-stop for nearly half hour. Then decided to give up and walked back to the nearest monorail station in the rain. Guess God just don’t want me to shop anymore eh?

Trying to capture moving cars but apparently the traffic light was RED throught the 4 sec exposure. haha. FAILED. But i like the starry effect created at the street lights. =)

20th March

Took taxi from LCCT to Melaka, coupon taxi from LCCT, costs RM159 per trip. Note 2: The same trip costs RM 230 if you ask the travel counter at Tune Hotel LCCT to get the taxi for you.

The taxi trip was uneventful, i was asleep through most of the trip. =P

Reached Boys’ hostel at around 1pm, Aaron sent me and Francis here. =) then after putting stuff in the room Aaron sent us to Tesco to buy the necessities.

Long long receipt after buying my stuff at Tesco.

Grand total of RM 351.75

Luckily Maybank Debit Card is accepted. Else certainly don’t have enough to pay for these stuff..

______

The *My* Room. Melaka Manipal Medical College Manipal Campus Guys’ Hostel.

The door, bed, shoe rack

Big ass closet. Me likey. =)

Study table, bookshelf, A/C (turn right for toilet)

Mirror, door to toilet

I like this window shade. =) Chose it over plain ol’ curtain. haha.

Shower. Heater works! XD

Basin in the toilet. Toilet bowl’s photo is barred from this blog since the previous tennant obviously did not wash his toilet with sufficient frequency. =S

That’s it!

Sorry for cramming everything here. haha. =P

Fast!

2010-03-20T05:59:00.001+05:30

3G line at LCCT area.. Cool! HSDPA speed..

first time using a 6.26Mb/s line.. haha

Holiday's coming to an end

2010-03-14T07:22:00.002+05:30

5 weeks of holiday. Doesnt seem all that long at all. Alas the final long holiday is going to finish. Leaving kuching in another 5 days.

Entering another phase of my life with a bang!

NOOOOOO!

2010-03-01T07:49:00.001+05:30

Still we don’t have the academic schedule of Melaka Campus! ARGH!

When else will there be flights to taiwan going so cheap? =.=” DAMN!

Sigh..

Oh anyway, it’s March already.

hehe. sorry guys been kinda lazy to update back here at home. hehe.. there’s actually lots to update but.. just lazy ler. I’ll see what i can do.. hehehe

Year of the Tiger!

2010-02-15T08:28:00.001+05:30

Wishing everyone a Happy, Prosperous and Healthy year of the Tiger!

got tons of stuff to share, but no time to blog about. =P later, when i’m free then. hehe

Postings Over!

2010-02-10T09:44:00.001+05:30

Semester 5 postings are officially over yesterday! woohoo!

But.. Damn.. psychiatry is tough.. tougher than any other postings man.. the most difficult part would be to try to stay awake during the classes and case discussions.. And most of the classes the lecturers/doctors don’t make sense at all.. not that i didnt pay attention.. sigh

Wait. If postings are over, means it’s time for CELEBRATIONS?

WRONG

unfortunately for us, there’s comprehensive exams coming up in less than 24 hours’ time. And i’ve only started studying for it.

Lesson learned? never do things last minute. NEVER.

I figured if i don’t sleep for the next 48 hours + or so, i might be able to finish studying for the 2 papers. But that would be impossible. Argh

Nevermind la. At least the marks are not brought forward to Melaka. Or is it? hmmmm..

Countdown : Less than 54 hours at Manipal! woots! =)

Completed!

2010-02-06T23:36:00.001+05:30

The boxes to be cargo-ed back to M’sia.. with books and other what-nots. I’m done!

Phew.

Hopefully I packed enough so that won’t overweight when i leave coming Friday.

Of course, no post would be complete without a countdown.

Six more days! hahaha

Ombattu Dina!

2010-02-04T11:45:00.001+05:30

Yeah i know.. plagiarism.. =P Took the idea for the title from Aaron’s post. haha.

For those that don’t know.. Ombattu is nine in kannada. Dina means day.

OMG the countdown has already gone down to a single digit!

9 more days at Manipal, India! 9 more days to completing 2 and a half years here.. Then I’ll be half a doctor. supposedly anyway. Actual figure might be ~~much~~ less than quoted. =P

But there are like soo many things to do! First to come up would be to finish up packing for the boxes and send them. Then there’s psychiatry end postings exam next tuesday, Comprehensive exam on thursday and friday.. Then only leaving on friday itself. But beforehand need to go get the permit settled at SP office udupi. Probably need to submit letter to BSNL applying to cut my internet line. Need to give out certain things i wont be bringing back too. And need to go shop for some new clothes if possible. Busy days ahead.. busy days.

Ants Invasion!

2010-02-03T00:29:00.001+05:30

Holy crap! All of a sudden ants are invading my room! Specifically the basin area and toilet door..

Pic 1

Pic 2

Pic 3

Pic 4

Looks like the ants are digging holes at the frame of the toilet door.. Hence there’s a lot of wood dust in Pic 1. but why? Can’t they do it AFTER i leave? geez.

So true..

2010-01-26T22:36:00.001+05:30

Less than 18 days. Gonna leave this place, Manipal. SO soon. Until then there’s no more holidays for us.. the longest one just ended today. Urgh. 3 days break (Sunday, obviously; Monday – because WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS; Tuesday – Republic day) feels so short. And basically wasted because I haven’t done anything meaningful. Just longing to go back. And browsing online websites for stuff to buy. XD

Watched 2012 *finally* yesterday. Basically a long movie of 2 hours and 37 minutes, but worth it. Awesome movie! I’d give it 4 out of 5. =) Moral of the story? Go to africa in 2012. It’s not going to be affected by the flood, if the Mayans are correct with their predictions. However it does give you something to ponder about.. that if their predictions are so reliable how come they didn’t predict the fall of their own civilization? And prevent it? Perhaps their philosophy is that they shouldn’t mess with the future? Don’t try to change the future because it will affect the space-time-continuum, and cause a Butterfly effect? sounds very cheem huh? From Heroes la.

End of 5th Posting

2010-01-24T12:00:00.001+05:30

19th January 2010. The last day of my posting at T.M.A Pai Rotary Hospital, Karkala. Was kinda enjoyable day because basically we finished our end posting exams on the day before. All that was left was 1 presentation about Hepatosplenomegaly by my group, and that’s that. We didn’t even go to the ward. =P

So what did we do? Camwhore of course! There’re like 2 dSLRs in my group.. so basically there’re a lot of photo-taking involved. =P

ISO-400, f/4.8, 1/50, 32mm. I like this effect =)

and this concept is pretty cute too.. haha

choochoo! let’s make a train!

It was soooo relaxed that the classroom for Medicine was actually used to..

Watch HOUSE! Sure is cool watching these stuff on big screens. Although the colour reproduction of the projector isnt that suitable for watching movies/dramas.. but better than nothing, right?

And.. with a projector around, who’d let go of the chance to take a snap with the oh-so-cute-girl you like from that drama? xD

A snap with the wonderful faculties of Medicine at Karkala as well as Group F! =)

Well Karkala, you will be missed. You will. Just not now. =P

Last Official Function at Manipal for Batch 21

2010-01-21T11:35:00.001+05:30

It was the prize giving ceremony by MMMC for the various interbatch sports and cultural events for the year 2009 last saturday, 16/1/2010

I guess the dean must be pissed because there are sooo little people who showed up. Initially i didnt intend to go as well, because i had 2 freakin long medicine case sheets to write that was due on monday. But halfway through writing, several text messages came telling us to go to Hotel Valley View ASAP because there were more lecturers than students.. =.=”

And when i got there.. this guy was already giving his speech. So damn embarassing okay..

CHAMPIONS, BATCH 21!

(exactly) a month from now

2010-01-12T18:19:00.001+05:30

A month from now, I’ll be leaving Manipal

A month from now, I’ll be at Mangalore Airport waiting for my flight to Bangalore

A month from now, I’ll be officially on my holiday

A month from now.. no end-postings for at least a month!!!

MySpace-Countdowns

BUT

Until then.. Life is going to be super busy

especially for the coming week.

Gonna have:

1. Medicine End Postings exam
2. Medicine Presentation : Approach to a patient with Hepatosplenomegaly
3. Packing session for the boxes that i have to cargo back

Hard times ahead..

Happy New Year!

2010-01-03T18:54:00.001+05:30

It’s the new year again. Happy new year people!

Yeah yeah it’s already 3rd day of 2010. But there’s still 362 more days!

Erm. What has happened since my last update? The usual, nothing new.

1/1/2010 – Posting as usual. No holiday. Damn sad. The only consolation is that it’s just half day Udupi posting instead of travelling to Karkala. Isnt there an association of some sort that we can appeal to because of this? If there isnt there should be one! They just rob us students of our holidays, and expect to get away with it? Is there any justice left? =P

But anyway.. I wont be celebrating any more new year here so.. to hell with it.. None of my business anymore. lol

2/1/2010 – Also posting, but the good thing is at least it’s also half day. And the doc was in a good mood. So not bad lar. And also, Medical Ethics class will be ending after next saturday. Yay!

3/1/2010 – First Sunday of the year! The only day of the week that i don’t have to wake up at 7am for class.

Oh and today is the birthday of my beloved sis, who is currently at home for holiday.

Happy birthday, Sis!

You’re OLD(er)! =P muahahahaha!

Last Post for 2009

2009-12-31T23:08:00.001+05:30

It’s already 2010 in M’sia.

Here in Manipal, there’s still 1 hour to go.

Then it’s the end of 2009.

Actually i had the intention to do a review of what i did during 2009, but there’s not enough time left for that probably. haha. So.. just check back the 2009 blog archives la. Easier.

But.. it’s definitely sad though. Why?

I think we’re in the only freakin country in the whole world that DOES NOT HAVE HOLIDAY ON NEW YEAR’S DAY!

yeah, that’s right.

What the hell man..

But don’t care la. 44 days left at India sorta compensates for it. Urgh.

The only consolation is like it’s only half day posting tomorrow.. =)

enough complaining i guess.

Happy 2010

to my readers, even to those who are just blog-hopping..,

May 2010 be a year filled with joy and happiness and achievements and all the nice things in the world. =)

signing off for the year..

Ta~ =)

Thank you!

This year the X’mas party was held at Premier Residency instead of Rooftop of Snack Shack.. there was more work to be done but defintely, much more enjoyable!

Plus.. it was our last x’mas celebration here in Manipal.. of course must make it memorable n fun! haha

There was the BBQ, the home-cooked foods, the curry puffs, the chrysanthemum tea, sea coconut, and the highlight of the night…

Mr Snowman!

First time had an X’mas party with a snowman present! haha.. Damn cute lo

And there was a gift exchange ceremony..

and i got this:

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

Not by eating them..

Effective only if you know how to use it.. Hahaha

Cos according to Dr Santosh Pai, you keep the doctor away by throwing the daily apple at the doctor. LOL

And according to him also, Bananas are the number 1 fruit! Apples were promoted when the British colonized India as well as other countries because apples were from their own country.. hahaha hence the line “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”

kekeke

Wait.

Could he be talking about.. another Apple instead? =P

This one not only keeps the doctor away.. also will keep the money away from your wallet.. =S

Here’s the post that i promised, one that’s about what has happened in December up to now.

2nd December, 2009

First of all.. there was the MMMC Interbatch Indian Dance competition.. Of course, i wasnt involved in anyway, but it was significant for me as it was the first time i brought my D3000 out.. hehe =P

The stage @ KMC Greens..

Ignore the background that says Convocation 2009, as it was left behind by the KMC convo.. hehe

anyway.. I present to you.. The CHAMPIONS!

*Cues We Are The Champions by Queens”

~ The awesome group~

haha

Haha.. Wonder whose backside is Aaron checking out?

12th College Day & Awards Ceremony, MMMC

This year it was a bit special, as it wasn’t held at Chaitya Hall, Hotel Valley View. Instead it was held at Syndicate Bank Golden Jubilee Hall.. Plus there was the High Commissioner of Malaysia at India joining us..

I didnt have my camera with me throughout the ceremony, so there wasn’t much photo to show.. but I have to say the lecturer’s performances were really great! Definitely one of the things that I’ll miss when i leave Manipal..

Can you see me? haha =P

It’s my blog. Of course I’m allowed to post my own photos. =P

Not exactly the clearest photo.. haha.

After that there was a lot of photo-taking involved.. It’s inappropriate to post them all here as it would take ages to upload as well as to view.. You can always check them out at my Facebook albums..

5th December, 2009

Lagenda 09 + M’sian Food Fest.

I didnt take photo for this event. The ending fashion show was a disaster as well. But.. don’t care la. This lagenda is one that I’d wish to forget. =S

---

Interbatch basketball matches are over already. Results:

Against Batch 23 : Won

Against Batch 24 : Lost

Against Batch 25 + BDS : WON!

Against Batch 22 : Lost

Anyway, it’s over already, and we’ve managed to secure third place. So.. not bad la i suppose. Overall i think the team were wonderful this year, definitely improved a lot compared to the past 2 years.. haha

Friggin Cool!
