Updates of the Week...
It's been quite an interesting week, this week. Almost everyday has something happening. And so today, my dear passengers, what your captain intend to do is fly the plane from Monday to yesterday, and of course this morning. And getting down to business right away...
Monday, 16/8
The day started with me waking up at the ungodly hour of 6.30 to prepare for a trip to Nilai. I could have easily taken the LRT and sleep on the train, but that would be a blardy waste of RM10. Why waste when you can claim RM25 from IMU? Afterall RM25 is only like 0.001% of my RM24000 which I pay every term!
So we met up in front of IMU, the girls would be following me, while the guys... let's say that they are gentlemen and they decided to take the train. And it was unto the highway. Everyone in my car was snoring away, and I was so tempted to just close my eyes and let the car drift along. Sigh... but I as the driver holds enormous responsibility to get my passengers safely to Nilai. So it was me driving along, nodding off sometimes... But thank God for Sarah who kept me company. We reached the little town of Nilai at bout 8am. And as we parked, we saw the guys coming to meet us. Apparently they had just got down from the train.
Surprisingly, the whole visit wasn't that bad. We first met up with this Dr. Praba who gave us a brief lecture and then sent us off to our designation area. Simple as that. I spent about 20 mins with Peter at the registration area. Had some fun searching for the cards. And then the sister came and we talked to her as we observed this cute little boy on the nebulizer. The talk went on to about 10, and finally,
Sister: Any questions?
Hanisyam: Boleh balik skrang? (can go back now?)
Sister: Tak boleh la. But you leave at 11.30 la.
All : Ok.
But the moment she left, we grabbed our bags and hanged around before taking leave at 10.30am.
It was a fruitful visit.
Right after lecture, I rushed down to Klang for my best friend's birthday party. It was indeed a gathering of good, old friends. She would be leaving soon to LSE anyway, so must at least celebrate her last year of teens. We had steamboat, and it was a time of real good fellowship and laughter. It was good to be back with these old guys. MohGee with her dripping sarcasm, JunWei with his idiotic bantering with ImKiat, SeowWoon who is so PINK! and then blur FeiLing who still remained blur. And of course Ah Pin and Kok Hau, the inseparable couple. Hahaha!!!
After the steamboat, we went to Cass's house to like hang around. We look through old picture albums, laughed at how funny we looked when we were young. Sigh... the good old days. When we were like little kids, we planned our futures together, hoping to stay together. But now... everyone is flung across the world, to the north, the south, the east and the west. Everyone I knew is going everywhere, while I stay here and slave through my studies...
Would have stayed longer, if not for the blardy PBL on the next day.
Tuesday 17/8
Woke up again at another ungodly hour of eight to arrive just in time for PBL. My brain ain't no working so well in such idiotic hours. The whole PBL just like flew over my head. I was half asleep.
Khalesh: What's the difference between Hematemesis and Hemoptysis?
Me: (I started acting.) One is vomitting blood (pretend to vomit, making all that disgusting sound) Another is cough blood (began to cough violently).
Khalesh: But in Hindi movie you can't really differentiate.
Me: You hit the person, and blood come flying! (started spewing blood everywhere)
Khalesh: Have you done an autopsy before?
Me: Watched, not yet do.
Khalesh: So you know how to perform an autopsy?
Me: Sure. (acting like the chef. You know, spinning the knife before whacking it down hard, like trying to severe a cow's head)
Khalesh: What are the causes of losing 15kg?
Me: Overdosing of slimming pills.
All in all, I was quite lame that morning.
In CSU, the most remarkable thing happened. ShuJin got scolding from TinOng. She was quite frustrated with it, and I can't blame her. Everyone knows TinOng got a bit problem right? Actually, he has a lot of problems!!!!
And I can understand the trauma a perfect student like ShuJin undergoes when they are scolded by a lecturer. I mean, these student seldom gets scoldings. Take for example Grace, Richard, YeanKoon... the list goes on, when they get reprimanded, they get really heated up and defensive.
Me? The scolding goes in one ear and exit the next in approximately 0.1 second. Sometimes, it just goes right over my head. Donno whether thats good or not. Hehe.
Wednesday 18/8
This time woke up at 10 to go for futsal. And it was Shiah Ning's Birthday. And we played futsal at Bukit Jalil Stadium. We were playing monkey when suddenly Seow Yee Lein asked for volunteers to act in this moive he is making for their Moral Studies project.
So we all gung ho only got chosen... to play the losing team. It was super hilarious. We started the film by acting our cheer which is quite funny and then the play offs! It was simply ridiculous, and so damn funny!!! We staged different scenes, like the one where I was supposed to defend Zi Sien and she was doing this exaggerated feint, and I just let her go?!!!! Or Yean Koon just stands there and let Theresa kick the ball around her?!!!
I couldn't stop laughing!!!
And then the national team comes, with Soon Liang as the coach and Ken Lin as their star player. They even filmed the part wherer they got out of their Altis and walked up the stairs like super macho players.
Can't wait to see the movie which is at 2.45 today.
Then there was CG, which was really interesting.
Adeline: Who can tell me what is spur?
Me: The star shape things cowboys wear on their boots.
Adeline: O...K.... and what are those spurs for?
Me: To torture the horses?
We had a heated discussion and Adeline gave us this verse. Acts 2: 42 - 47
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Pay attention to verse 45. Doesn't it sound like some propaganda for communism? Richard and I pointed it out. Afterall, communism's motto is: all men are equal, in wealth and in ranks.
Had Paul Jambu's lecture in the afternoon, quite hilarious too. And then there was Paul Chen. And God, that was like the most boring lecture ever. Even Yean Koon slept off!!! That is like the surprise of the century. You know Chan Yean Koon, that super smart and studious girl? Who listens to every word the lecturers said… she fell asleep. That goes to prove that Paul Chen’s lecture is BORING!
And you guys remember the story of Belly-Lally? The one I reported a few days ago? Well, there’s been a news flash.
It was reported that 2 Afghanistan men has entered IMU on Wednesday. They had received passes from the guards with the excuse : Mau jumpa Boss. And once in IMU, they headed right up to the library. Many of the students saw them, many was approached to be asked for money.
But in reality, they are actually men of this rich oil sheikh named Abdullah Restulaman. They were here to find for the famous Belly Lally. Apparently, she had not return during the week end as she was supposed too, and this sheikh was quite disappointed, so he sent his men to every medical university in msia as they did not know where she is studying. Their slang, dialect and language is different from Malaysian malay, so the ppl they talked to has mistaken their question of “Do you know where is Belly-Lally?” as “Do you have money?”
Thursday, 20/8
Nothing much happened on that day. Had Victor Lim's lecture and I sat beside Adeline. The whole lecture thru, you could hear us cursing at each other. We played hangman, tickled each other, wondered what Victor thinks about it.
This morning
Has usual, PBL... which was quite boring, other than a few warnings given by Khalesh bout the OSCE exams.
Question: What is the color of the urine?
Answer: Teh O color.
Question: Please palpate the abdomen.
Student proceed to meraba-raba the whole abdomen and the patient just lie there enjoying it.
Then during lunch he told us about his viva exam, which I do not is true or not. But this is the extent of it.
Apparently, viva examiners can get really bored asking the same old questions.
Examiner: Do you watch football?
Khalesh: (wondering where the hell this is going) Yes.
Examiner: What is your favourite team?
Khalesh: Erm... Manchester United?
Examiner: Good! That's my favourite team too. Hmm... You do know that I have to at least ask you one microbiology question before I let you go.
Khalesh: Yes.
Examiner: Spell bacteria.
Khalesh: B-A-C-T-E-R-I-A
Examiner: Good, you can go.
He scored 18 out of 20 for his microbiology viva.
Ok, I think this blog is long enuff. Going off to sleep before going to watch the movies. So till next week, good weekend.
Time passes, people move.
Like a river's flow, it never ends.
A childish mind will turn into noble ambition,
young love will become deep affection.
The clear water's surface reflects growth...
