3rd and 4th day of 3rd week...

3-4th June 2009 - i didnt have the mood to type the activities
done for the week..dont even know what i was bz at..anyway,
this week me and siow hui is allocated in the cardiovascular
department.. i thought things would be more understandable
as the other week in endocrine, i didnt have much problem as
many of the specialists and interns were trying their best to
use more english in their discussion once they knew we are
from malaysia as they realised that our lessons are in english
and its pretty hard for us to get the mandarin term. if siow
hui is already having problem understanding i guess there is no
need for further elaboration on my part..sigh..
neway, most of the specialists are nice and their teachings are
pretty good, but with the condition that u are familiarize with
all the mandarin terms. i couldnt really follow most of the
teachings especially when they used all medical terms in
mandarin..its really depressing on my part.. wish they could be
that good in full english lesson as well.. nevertheless, the
interns and clerks are very nice to us. one of the interns is
actually a malaysian from johor bharu. he treated us lunch
during our first day and asked us a lot of the health care
systems in malaysia. he was quite surprised to know most of it
as well especially on the opportunities we have even as medical
students, and we have some feelings he would be coming back
to malaysia one day to serve..
siow hui and i was asked to present a case today and we did
pretty well i think except on the investigation part as we
werent familiarize with the short terms they used and didnt
know how to log into the investigation data.. neway, i used full
english today. im not sure if they understand what i said, but i
think they were concentrating more on the power point than
listening to me. thou i may speak as normally as i usually does,
it may not be to them...hmm, but i was taken aback when the
specialist told me i was testing them when i said im using
english to present.. i tot things are learnt in english, so wats
the big deal of using full english to present..sigh.. guess i am
really not suitable in this mandarin world..its really too much
for me to handle and im not into this situation when i need to
depend on someone so much...it makes me like a handicap
indirectly...just hope things will go on smoothly.
oo..and we went to a seven star lake this morning at around
5am..goodness..we wanted to enjoy the view of the sunrise but
the cloud was too thick, hence we were only lucky to catch a
glimpse of it..after snapping some photos, we headed back to
the hostel and i enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading
back to my bed to catch a nice sleep.. so so so sleepy...
