SEM 5 - First week
First day of Sem 5... B-O-R-I-N-G!!!
And it did not do well with that 2 week 'vacation' which is not a vacation at all. I have described how I like my vacation to be, but this vacation sucked. I became the driver again back home, getting up at ungodly time to fetch my siblings to school, and then fetch them back and to tuition and all. I did not have time to even sit down and enjoy.
Not to mention stupid brother had stupid exams so I can't use the PS2 as it is locked up. Argh!!! What kind of fucking holiday is that???!!! And then the 2nd week was alloted for GP posting. Gone lah, my holiday. What holiday?!!!
When we came back when school reopen, we were supposed to answer some crap questionaire.
Q: What is the best part of the GP posting?
A: Going to Jody's hse to play Mahjong. The lazy afternoons with no patients around. Going out for lunch.
Q: What is the best part of the KKB hospital rotation?
A: Playing Risk and Monopoly and just chilling at home.
Q: What is the worst part of the Klinik Kesihatan?
A: Everything!!!
Anything interesting this first week of Sem-5?
Fucking Dress code!!!
Was chased out of library for wearing T-shirt and Sketchers sneakers. Dumb!!! IMU is getting more and more melebih-lebih. Even Richard, dressed in a shirt but without tie is chased out. This is so stupid. What about those ppl in IMU for study breaks? You don't expect them to come in starched shirt and tie and leather shoes. When I first came to IMU, I tot they are stupid. I did not know they can fall lower than stupid!!!
ECA Matching form.
Talk about hilarious. Trying to find all kinds of crap to add in. I've seen people begging presidents of various clubs for signature eventho they are not even in the club. It's great if you have Presidents have friends. Nepotism mah... As for me, my ECA form looks a little empty except for the debate competitions I went to. The most impressive would be the Aisan Universities Debating Championship 2005 - Adjudicator / Rep. IMU / Asian Level and Australasian Intervarsity Debating Accreditation - AIDA 1 / International. And surprisingly, PADI Certified Diver - Advance Open Water / International is allowed too.
Actually, this is just a chance for me to show off, hehe.
Medical Musuem Sessions.
Now with that stupid library out of bounds for people like me who do not like to follow dresscode, the Medical Museum seemed like a refuge. We can buat bising, openly discuss topics while studying and making loud rude jokes and no blardy librarians will come kacau us.
And it is super fun with all your friends around. We play baseball with the femur and patella. We form a band with fibulas, humerus, tibias. We practice salsa with the skeleton. Play ventroluquism with the skull and samurai with the hipbone (don ask me how).
And best of all, no dress code!!!
CSU.
Was praying tat I won't get Tin Ong and what did I get???
Tin Ong. ARGH!!!!
He went on and on about something that just went over my head. The only time I started up was when he went: Do not do things your way, do it my... *long pause* community's way.
And the irony was I was just discussing about doing things which lecturer's way the day before. Lecturers contradict each other while teaching us, so I need to have 3 files: Tin Ong, Archike and General. Talk about improffesionalism.
Tin Ong: The patient is the customer.
If you follow that chain of logic, wont a student be a customer to the teachers. If we are the customers, why are we still being forced into all this stringent rules that we do NOT want!!!
The patient is not my customer. Go watch House M.D., Greg House is the coolest doctor ever and I want to be like him. Period.
Tin Ong: Our forefathers created this list, it's by convention and we must abide by it.
What's the list? The list here is the list of cardinal signs of inflammation:
Redness
Swelling
Pain
Heat
Loss of function.
I was asked that question, my answer: Redness, heat, pain, swelling, loss of function.
And he said my answer was weak... and only because I did not follow the correct sequence. What the FUCK!!!!!
And he gave us a 15 minute lecture on how medical students must stick with convention. And business students can do whatever they want before they just need to earn money. Total bullshit!!!
And final saying by him: Doctors are realistic and idealistic.
Talk about contradictions in life.
LYT (lecturer)
This guy lectured on some pharmacology stuff that flew over my head. I was more interested in teasing his looks and the way he speak. I'm not to judge or anything, but he is just the most "interesting" lecturer (interesting as in the way he looked and acted).
First of all, he is round, really round (face round, body round, arms round) and my first impression of him was :Is that a down syndrome kid or something. I know, I know... I shouldn't judge people by first impression, but then he speak and he has the s...l...o...w speech of a retarded kid. Okay, okay, I'll stop insulting him.
As I was saying, his face was round and he has very little hair (sounds very Cushing Syndrome like), and he made the whole lecture sound so depressing with his s...l...o...w speech. (Depression is another sign of Cushing's.) He was wearing glasses that sat low on the bridge of his nose and everytime he says somethings, he punctuates it by tilting his head and looking over them at the people sitting in front. He wore a chequered shorts sleeve shirt, tucked in tightly, no tie and buttoned all the way to the top.
So typical Ah Beng. He holds the mike (he was supposed to use it) but somehow that mike was pointed to us all the time. He was just plain blur.
When you look at him, he looks like a guy that was always bullied in school, the little timid mouse that girls laugh at behind his back and boys push around. And he could only smile and nod as he went away because he was too nice or too afraid to fight back. But deep down inside, he was actually seething with anger. He was like a pressure pot ready to blow. He pretends to be the smiling bimbo while deep in his heart he was planning a revenge that he was too afraid to perform. During lecture, no one was paying attention to him and inside his mind, a small voice is telling him, "They are laughing at you, they think you are dumb..."
That was the impression he gave me. He was slightly scary at that point.
But then, it may be just my imagination. Haha.
The last lecture of the day was embryology... and I refuse to study it. So I'm pretty free. So I'm here, blogging to you.
And I'm very pleased to report that I've been studying consistently and with God's grace, I'll be playing my PSP soon.
And it's a brand new start for the Debate Society, with Debate in the IMU Cup, things will be funny. And I was asked to read a short summary for the Debate Society. Watcha think?
Ever wanted to decriminalize the use of marijuana?
Or legalize political assassinations?
Ever thought of sanctioning the use of humans for experiments?
Or declare Malaysia a homosexual happy place?
Ever contemplated whether we should have lots of sex?
Or whether that the Pope should get married?
If you answered yes to any of the above and have not done anything about it yet, then IMU Debate Society would be the place for you to be.
IMU Debate Society, where the brightest, most intellectual minds of IMU gather to attempt to change World policies, govern Nations, revolutionize Society, and dabble in the blackest magic of Politics.
Welcome to IMU DEBATE SOCIETY.
The first step into the whirlpool of Varsity Debates starts right here.
History
Founded in 2002, IMU DEBATE SOCIETY is responsible for the National Health Sciences Debate that is held annually. The Society had been inert until March 2004 with the inauguration of the ex-Vice President to be President.
No sooner had the President assumed power when she made immediate moves to consolidate it. Under the new regime, IMU DEBATE SOCIETY began its reformation. In the name of democracy, the general election saw the appointment of a Committee of excellent students that strive for the same goal: To bring glory to the IMU DEBATE SOCIETY.
But then, democracy is but a façade. Hiding under the blanket of democracy, the President rose to be a Dictator. Under the new dictatorship, more funds are budgeted to training and sending teams to tournaments. Plans were made and put into action; teams were prepared and trained rigorously.
Reform was swift, and within few weeks, a team was prepared to be sent to the All-Asians Debating Championship in Bangkok in May 2004. In NHSD 2004, 4 teams were sent - and two teams made it into the quarter-finals and one made it into semi-finals. The following year, two teams were sent to Singapore for the prestigious Asian Universities Debate Championship which saw our teams battling with top teams of the Asia Pacific regions and winning. Debaters were internationally accreditated. Teams were sent to various intervarsity tournaments, all succeeding in bringing glory to IMU.
Within just a period of one year, IMU DEBATE SOCIETY was no longer a stranger in the Malaysian Debating Circle and has begun to make a name for itself in the International circuit. IMU DEBATE SOCIETY continues to be ruled single-handedly by the Committee under the banner "Democracy is a Façade".
Long live the IMU DEBATE SOCIETY!!!

Everyone has their weakness,
So what makes you high?
Could it be the knowledge to unleash desires?
A sensuous suggestive voice,
Provoking, tantalizing, insinuating?
The cold touch of being stripped of all defenses,
Spurned, teased beyond all sense of respect?
Or do you simply crave the feeling of raw power?
