I am now a 2nd Year Medical Student!!!
Yes, your captain is now 2nd year Medical Student, along with my fellow passengers from IMU M2/03. Finally!!!!
Today's the start of our new semester, and I shiver at the thought of the blardy exam that is placed right after that new semester. And entering, this new sem... new things happen too.
For one, I shifted into a new Apartment. Its B2-15-8. To some it may look familiar as your batch rep's apartment is at B2-15-2, which is down the corridor.
The other thing, the VMU is now officially on, and our batch is being split into two. Gone is the unity in the batch, gone is the harmony and the togetherness in M2/03 that had won us the Elephant Cup last year. Gone!!! One might think that this is a ploy by the AAD to split our batch, for they know that M2/03 is too strong for them to handle. They think that M2/03 might cause an uprising to over throw the administration of IMU. So they split the batch, separating us so we cannot plan any revolution.
(I think I'm exaggerating here alot, but as AGong said, Exaggeration is part of a good writer's skill.)
And of course the last thing... I am now a 2nd Year Medical Student. I can't believe i managed to survive one freaking year sweating my ass out on exams.
I can still remember one year ago, the start of a new life (should I say the end of life as I know it) here at IMU. Here, I met new friends, comrades in the battlefield of exams, buddies that are with me thru it all, ups and downs, thick and thin, all having one goal on our minds - To finish Medical School. Together, we had charged over No Man's Land into the enemies' frontlines. Together, we had defeated every adversary that crossed our path. Some had fallen, we mourn for them; some had triumphed, we praise their names.
And today, at the start of a new semester, we all stand as proud survivors, hardened proud students of a glorious batch, determined to march into the war that would leave many casualties, crack the most hardened heart, and have grown men and women crying with either joy or sorrow.
So, my fellow batchmates, lift your heads up high and raise our banner of triumph. For this is the day, we, Members of M2/03, march onwards into the battlefield of Semester 3. This is the time, my friends, the time that will decide the fate of mankind. We shall triumph!!!
Gosh... that is just so lame. But what the heck... Tis true, many things have happened in just that one year of our medical life. I'm sure most of my M2/03 pals would have blog about it... but lemme just point out a few major things that happened to me in this past medical year.
1. I was mascot for M2/03 Cheerleading Team, and made a fool of myself. Yet I still want to be mascot this year.
2. I took part in NHSD (National Health Sciences Debate) together with Richard as my teammate, and we made fools of ourselves. We are the only team that got a consistent ZERO throughout the whole debate. Its British Parliamentary style and first round itself we went against the giants of the Malaysian Debate Circle. Debaters would know what I'm talking about.
3. I ran for SRC and made another fool out of myself. But it was fun.
4. I took part in IVF (Intra-Varsity Friendly) Debate with Grace and Vasan on my team. And we won!!! Finally something good. We met the team that was to go to the Asians Debate Championship in the Finals, and totally thrashed them. HAHAHA... now who do you think is supposed to go to the Asians? Hah!!
5. I managed to past all exams... Whoa, that's a miracle come to think of it.
6. I started up a blog?
7. I got chased out from CSU. That was really recent, but hell.
8. I learnt how to Scuba Dive for electives. It was great and I advice my passengers to try it.
Let's try to make it a ten-thingy.
9. I became a god-mother to a monkey - Fernando.
10. I made great friends.
And since this is the start of a new sem, maybe I'll revamp my blog, or maybe not. Will see... And for this sem, there are resolutions to make.
1. Will pass all exams, including the final one at the end.
2. Spend more time with books, studying.
3. Spend less time on the computer.
4. Blog only 2 times per week, study rest of the time.
5. Finish most of the story books i borrowed.
6. Finish watching animes that are borrowed from Michelle Tan.
7. Don't fall asleep in lecture. Pay attention, even if the lecturer is an asshole and is boring you to death.
8. Don't insult lecturers - in their faces. Can insult somewhere else.
9. Be a model Senior.
10. Be a good friend, a good student, and stay the same.
So 10 resolutions. And there is of course the aims for this coming Sem.
1. Have the best Variety Night ever.
2. Make sure m2/03 wins IMU cup.
3. Win IMU cup for Female Football Event.
4. Win IVF again.
5. Try to break thru for NHSD. Or at least be better than the seniors.
6. Get into World Debating Championship and try to break thru into quarter finals.
7. Pass every exam.
8. Pass End of Semester Exam.
So hopefully, with God's Blessings and God's Grace, all this 8 ambitions would be fulfilled. And the 10 resolutions, wanna bet I'll forget them next week? Hehehe...
Do you guys know the game "She likes ____ but do not like ____" The aim of the game is to find out what she likes and what she doesn't likes while the person who provides the question will gift a list of things she likes and the things of she doesn't like. For example
"She likes apple, but doesnot like orange."
"She likes swimming, but doesnot like water."
And you have to guess what else she likes and what else she doesn't like. So we were playing it just now with Zosimo Ken and Peter during lunch. The extent of the conversation goes:
Me: "She likes swimming, but she does not like ...er... drowning."
TJ: "Me too."
Me: "She likes Ken Rhee, but do not like Ken.
Zosimo: "She likes Adeline, but doesnot like Ken."
Richard: "No, she does not like Adeline. No one likes Adeline."
Everyone laughed.
Adeline: "She likes Ken Rhee, but doesnot like Richard. No one likes Richard."
Adeline: "She likes Sheena, but doesnot like Richard."
Adeline: "She likes YeanKoon, but doesnot like Richard."
So it went on and on about no one likes Adeline and no one likes Richard. It was hilarious. You guys should have been there.
Ok, almost time to go for lectures. Damn, three freaking lectures to go. This just sucks. Good thing I brought a book to read. Oops, forgot my resolution No.7. But for today, can lar... I'll practicing my resolution tomorrow. Promise. *Keeps fingers crossed*
Now, the final part of my blog, I would like to dedicate it to my dad and baby sister, Angelina. She turned 6 yesterday (8/8) and today is my dad's birthday. So Happy Birthday Daddy. Me love you alot!!
So I'm leaving you guys stranded on the transit area with this quote:
Pure power does not discriminate; all power is destined to destroy.
