Community Medicine

Havent been blogging a lot lately. There’s like basketball training at late nights quite frequently. Usually from 10pm to midnight. Yeah i know it’s short. but usually after coming back i’m like totally drained.. If this goes on probably this old body of mine will break apart soon.. SIGH..

Anyway back to the topic..

I’ve had my community medicine posting since last thursday. Pretty cool.. Feels like primary school kids going on school trips around Manipal.. but the furthest we’ve had to travel is to Karkala, ironically to orientate us to the hospital.. hmmm..

The highlight of the posting :

A day of acitivty at Asha Nilaya, a home for the mentally challenged children..

Even though they are slow learners, they are as innocent as any other children.. They are as adorable as any other children..

Participating in a game of Tug of War

Then this game requires them to transport water-filled balloons from one pail to another..

but.. as the norm dictates.. when water balloons are involved..

The kids would play with it.. but that’s not all.. no..

Their teachers would start throwing water balloons..

Then all hell broke loose… WAR!!!

 

That was part of the morning with the children.. lazy to blog about the rest. =P

But it definitely was a nice experience.. =)

Windows 7 Ultimate

Currently writing this blog on the final version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Source? *cough cough*  =P It’s not much different from the RC from what i can observe, the main difference is the availability of several cool themes on Microsoft’s website.

7 is very much faster compared to Vista. Even after i’ve loaded it with my usual array of software. Thumbs up to Microsoft.

However things get a bit sluggish when I access flash heavy sites e.g. Happy Farm.. Maybe it’s Chrome’s fault but it isnt sluggish enough to be unacceptable.

Love the new taskbar. Less clutter.

Probably gonna stick with it a bit longer. =)

oh and uhm.. End-posting exam is on 27th Oct. Like very fast the first posting will be over soon. After that I’ll have like 3 weeks of break from super bumpy rides to Karkala.. thank goodness. need some time to allow my spinal column to recover from the daily traumas.

Hege diri?

Wow. Seems like ages since i last updated this blog. Sorry to all. hmm.. was lazy to blog during the holidays.. Then after coming back here.. quite a lot of things were happening..

Well.. I’m currently on my 5th semester at Manipal, which means it’s the last 1/2 years here before I go back to M’sia for GOOD. yay!

My schedule

If you are able to see into the fine print, It says that comprehensive examination till 12th Feb 2010, and vacation commences on 13th Feb. In other words,

I’ll BE BACK FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR!

woohoo!

 Before entering Operation Theatre.. XD

I’ve completed like 2 weeks of posting. Basically the entire experience is interesting, cause it’s the first time I’ve had direct contact with the patients. The hands-on experience is definitely helpful. But the biggest barrier i suppose would be communication.. So we’d have to pick up some Kannada, else we’d be really zuo-bai-ing everytime we’re posted at the wards. Urgh.

oh, and i witnessed like 2 deliveries yesterday. It was fast, uncomplicated “express delivery”. Faster than your FedEx or or DHL. seriously. One was a baby boy, the other a girl. And i think instead of the delivery, the part where the episiotomy was sutured back looks like it’s more painful for the mother. =S

Had our posting at Udupi today.

Group F 

 Yeah. We had our lessons ON A CORRIDOR.

How freakin special is that?

Lucky break!

5 ingredients at Grandmaster level, risky.. see the red box at the bottom..

But i guess you need to take risks to get handsome rewards in life..

and thus..

oh yeah… that’s just damn L-U-C-K-Y man.. haha

Question

Their planes eat CHIPS!

Lay’s, anyone?

Holiday

I’m home! today is day 6 at home.. how time flies.. sigh. Havent been doing much here, just the usual eat sleep play.. MH-ing, watching movies.. and the sort of stuff. hehe

 

Train from Mangalore to Bangalore

Indian Railways.. Woke up at 6am to take this photo.. hehe

but that’s still better than..

..staying next to the railway.. noisy trains go past your house at unearthly hours..

then at Bangalore, near the hotel we’re staying, there was a riot. well more like a protest of some sorts.

Demonstration 1

Demonstration 2

Demonstration 3

But hey, their demonstration is peaceful at least, with no bloody cow head…

Arrived at Changi the next day.. had to spend almost 10 hours there. So what did i do while waiting for time to pass.. ?

tada!

need i say more? =P haha my laptop’s battery early early K-O already, lasting no more than 60 minutes of wireless surfing. Luckily after the laptop’s gone i still have my trusty phone that i can hunt with.. hehe

then while checking in at the budget terminal.. i had to take off my mp3 player for it to scan..

The stupid machine that X-rays your stuff brutally murdered my new Creative EP-630 earbuds that i was using for the FIRST TIME!

 

The right earphone, dismembered from it’s body.. it’s like so sad lar. SIGH.

Lesson : next time you put your mp3 player to scan, make sure EVERYTHING stays in the tray and not letting 1 side of the earphone dangle outside of the tray..

The weekend that isnt

Weekend is here. Well I’m pretty sure this weekend will not feel like a weekend. At all.

Like, what kind of place holds exams on SUNDAYS !?!? This is like sooo wrong.. So against the laws of nature.. Against the will of God. Urgh.

But, on a lighter note, in approximately 36 hours from now I’ll be officially done with my 2nd year M.B.B.S. examinations. Just hope I can get through it smoothly. Then, it’s time to go HOME!

This is like so cool i have to post it here.

Kempen ‘Tak nak!’

Who’s in with me on this? hehe

Traumatized

Holy CRAP.

Just had my Patho paper for my finals today. Paper 1.. argh. hopefully I can get enough marks here and there to scrape a pass. That’s all I ask. Was the first time i sat for a paper that for all the 12 questions I dont have a complete answer to. Like, WTH?

Yeah well actually the questions aren’t especially tough. I say it’s my problem. Urgh. Damn. Please pass. PLEASE..

sigh.

------

Last night I switched off my laptop, cos I wanted to concentrate on Patho. Wanna stop hunting. But..

the determination ended in futility.. especially since..

MouseHunt is accessible via my phone too! =S now if i had a 3G plan that I could use to access internet everywhere.. I’d be hunting almost everywhere i go! hehe

but for now..

It’s not a good sign. Must work hard so that will not get traumatized anymore..

Wish me luck for the rest of the papers! I need it, seriously

Time is creeping by

Yay!

 

but..

 

 

oh man. So screwed. =S

How do you sit for an exam so close, and it feels like you dont remember a single damn thing of what you’ve read in the past 4 weeks of study break? wth? dementia, that’s what it’s called.. I’m only 22!! T.T

 

Aaron!

Thanks! XD you’re like so lucky la! omg.. keep it up! =P

Warning:lame update

They say,

Success = 10% luck + 90% hard work

I say,

Success = 2% luck + 8% hard work + 90% coffee to keep you awake

 

Coffee i have plenty..

Lets hope it brings me success then. SIGH.

Short update

It has been a while since my last update. Well.. I’m in my study break, and now left 12 days before the big day.. the UNI exams.. like so damn OMG.. where did my study break go??

Prime suspect

Yeah.. I’ve kinda been playing ancient PS games using my laptop.. even go and buy one PS controller for the sake of it.. Realizing that, I’ve stuffed this "evil monstrosity” into the cupboard already, albeit a bit too late. It is now grounded until Malaysia’s Independence day. Urgh. Which coincides with my independence day.

I WANNA GO HOME!

Was reading kennysia.com the other day, and suddenly felt like wanna go home..

Why?

 erm. I took permission from Kenny before posting.. Thanks for approving!

If you recall, there was a post titled “Which Hyundai R U?”, the photo above was included..

So? what does this have to do with me?

Cos of THIS:

Like so near to my house can.. haih.

When things are too good to be true..

.. They usually are..

Couple of days back I have won an auction on ebay.in for a brand new Canon EOS 50D Camera, for like Rs 26,000. It’s like REALLY cheap, cos it would normally cost around rm5k back at m’sia, and i get it at a mere RM2k!

If you would go check out the link at dpreview.com by clicking the picture above, you’d see that it’s like quite a new model, 15.1 megapix, Digic 4, 6.3fps continuous shooting, plus the 3.0” LCD has like 940,000 pixels, which would make it very very fine in terms of quality..

But.. as the title of this post says..

“When things seems like they are too good to be true, they usually are”

The seller has gone MIA after the payment is made. Luckily i’m protected under ebay.in’s Paisapay Protection, so i got my Rs 26,000 refund back.

Sigh.

And i thought i could finally step up into the world of DSLR photography. But. turns out it’s only an illusion, and frankly it would be an expensive hobby.. so either another deal like this happens, or i strike Toto or 4d, whichever comes first before I can dabble into this lo.

Study break commences

okay.. this blog post is also overdue. I have finished my Block 4 exams on Wednesday (15 July), then currently I’m on my 4 weeks study break before my finals on 14th Aug. Like so soon k.. less than 1 month. OMG.

However currently I'm focusing more on the “break” portion of STUDY BREAK. yeah. Been watching series and movies since Wednesday, like

1. Finished Heroes Season 3, Too bad Nathan had to die.. Elle & Daphne too. kinda liked them towards the end.
2. Fast & Furious 2009 hmm. not as much nice cars as previous series.
3. Street Fighters : Legend of Chun-Li KRISTIN IS HAWT WOOT!
4. High School Musical 3 yeah i know i’m really outdated
5. He’s Just Not That Into You erm. ok la. there’s like a lot of stars in this one?
6. Ocean’s Twelve yeah this one lagi outdated. eish. but at least it’s a BDrip so very clear lo.
7. 功夫厨神 erm. some china movie. with Sammo Hung n Vanness of F4. It does remind me a bit of Cooking Master Boy..

 

Here. Hope this helps. But anyone who knows where is the venue for the examination please tell me yeah. It’s like not mentioned in any of the notices.. so weird.

better late than never! =P

haha

Timetable for block 4 exams =P

hehe

Leverage

i’ve just finished a 13-episode season one of Leverage, a series aired in 2008 (yeah i know i know i’m outdated)

and

i simply just LOVE it. Seriously. HIghly recommended by me. and the good news is, season 2 is coming up REAL soon!

yup. According to TNT’s website, the series is coming back soon! woohoo!

but.. UNFORTUNATELY.. There’s block 4 exams.. together with 2nd year University Examinations that commences on 14th Aug 2009.. ARGH.

Storyline-wise, it’s about these 5 people teaming up to con bad guys or to steal things, in order to help those that are not represented by the law.. Somewhat like what you’d get when you mix Robin Hood with Danny Ocean from the Ocean series (Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve etc)

sluurrp

dinner on 26/6/09 :

steamboat!

yay!

thanks kelvin! =)

ok i’m just plain lazy to blog.. so just upload some photos instead =P

i have no idea on what topic to put..

“Sometimes all you do to me is sulk, like you got something to say
But nothing makes sense when you move your lips
All you do is get pissed at me
Damn
Take it easy”

ipod touch?

 

here’s the total number of songs i have in my iTunes currently.

So in order to carry all my songs with me, i need to get a 32gb iPod Touch to complement my 16gb Nano eh?

XD

Crap.

Micro test tomorrow. Bah… at least it’s the last class test already. So damn sleepy now though.

Warning : do not click if you’re easily offended

emo-ing

Bad mood whole day. Couldnt muster a smile. Must bounce back. =(

even the graffiti at library provokes me.

When you open your heart to anyone, probably you'll become vulnerable to get hurt, in any form. So you cannot blame me for being over-protective of myself. Self protecting is a natural reflex anyway.

Weekend

Probably a relaxing weekend? for me personally anyway

I’ve broken my personal record of finishing a drama within 2 days. Well strictly speaking it’s about 28 hours.

 

Yupp. 不良笑花 A drama of summer 2008. Just finished watching the 21 episodes within 2 days. hehe. It’s stupid. But funny. that’s what dramas are supposed to be like anyway. funny, so that you can have a few laughs.

aawww…

on a side note,

it’s Father’s Day today.

Happy Father’s Day!

Yay!

It’s june already. At the blink of an eye almost half of the year 2009 is over. And in August my 2nd year university examinations will commence. OMG like so soon can.. Need to kick into study gear already!

On a side note,

BSNL decided to take a day off yesterday. Well technically it was half day off. So i was isolated from the net since 5.30pm until today at 1pm, where internet is finally restored. So.. instead of going facebook n other activities on the net, i played mahjong instead. hehe. and check it out!

大四喜！ really cool leh! hahaha.. never got it in real life, but sure feels damn nice making it in the game.. and i manage to make the other 2 parties go bankrupt with this win! woohoo! =P if only this happens in real life eh. Then what for go study become doctor. become god of gambler enough lar. big big money come! hahaha
