my hostel life

when i drove out from hostel on thursday..
memories of my first day stepping in Kampung CD..
flow back to me and yeah..it has been 5 years..
and i stayed in hostel for the 5 years..
from 4-in-1 room to 2-in-1room..to the beloved single room..
the memories i had from 1st year..
knowing no one..to knowing many ppl..
going through wonderful time with roommates..
bad experiences with certain ppl..
all the different people i met along the way..
friendly, difficult, ignorant..the list goes on..
how the hostel cafe has changed over the years..
the bus system of uni and to KK..
and just so many things..

remember those time when i had to carry my loads of things..
up to the highest floor.. no joke man
the whole hilux full of my stuff..
and that was only my 1st year of stuff..
got more things in second year..
and lucky thing..had the same room for 3rd and 4th year..
neverthless.. the two years were the most difficult..
no thanx to the few selfish ppl who brought nitemares to me..
too bad i cant share it out..
those who knew would have understand..
how i struggled through and stay sane..
and FINALLY had my own room..
it was the best thing that have ever happened..
after all the years..
my own privacy.. my own space..

still rmbr all those times when we had to come back earlier than usual..
and those orientation committee knocking on my door..
i had no choice but to put the notice..
'saya bukan pelajar tahun 1'..
all those selling jeruk, nasi lemak etc etc from door to door...
the noises for the hall each time NEAR Exams..
but lucky my final room gave me lots of peace..
except for the 'kling klang kling klong'..
of ppl walking/running/hopping up/ down..
the metal stairs besides my room..
as early as 6am...and as late as 1am..
haih haih...

my loads of things..
have certainly become more and more..
my books.. ori..costing nearly RM3K..
the photocopied ones.. costing another few more hundreds..
the papers/questions etc etc..
manged to pass to the jnrs boxes of it..
coz i really cant afford to bring so many things back..

how could i have missed out baby Joel..
my beloved who had came to be in my second year second sem..
thanx to my dearest parents..
who gave him to me as my 23rd bday present..
who have accompanied me thru all the years..
and will continue to be with me for many many years..
he will be back with my loads of things..
i darent imagine when he reaches home..
coz there will be even more things in my dearest room..
which will be officially be the store room..
and sorry bro.. im CONQUERING ur room.. :)

memories... there are really too many things in my head.. i just dont know how to link all together :)
neway..thanx to the hostel/jakmas for all these years...

my journey as a medical student..

My journey as a Medical Student...

i could still remember vividly...

the call i made and the voice machine telling me..

"tahniah..anda telah ditawarkan doktor perubatan di Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS)"

my next reaction was..

"mum, I got a place to do medicine in Sabah... Yes Sabah..."

i was skeptical, i was undecided.. i was lost for a moment..

but after all the encouragement and support and thinking hard..

YES.. UMS here i come... its been my dream to study medicine..

and i certainly aint gonna let this second chance slip away...

and THANK YOU UMS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE for choosing me

and gave me the chance to be here..

i came here for a reason...

and TODAY i finally knew the 'answer' why i am here for the 5years...

so after one crazy week of packing and arranging..

im here..with my 30kg of luggage (thanx to MAS for not charging me for the extra load)...

all fresh and looking forward to start my new phase of life...

meeting coursemates from all the states..

meeting wonderful seniors who are willing to help...

meeting great, dedicated and committed lecturers and specialists all the years..

without you all.. i wont be who i am now...

first year and second year...

things were bit boring..

theory theory and theory..

with some clinical examinations here and there...

cramming my little brain with anatomy, physio, biochem...

aiyoyo... i cant recall anything now :)

but we did have some wonderful memories of 'extra activities'

health promotion during 1st year..

first time in my life..

seeing pigs lying around the kampung houses like pets..

piglets and puppies playing together...

it was certainly WONDERFUL.. :)

and not forgetting the dramas we had..

all the 'sporting spirit', team work and commitments from all members..

they are certainly things u think back and smile..

clinical years were certainly another phase of medical student life..

1st week in ICMP was as if..

fresh bunch of 'guinea pigs' being released from their cage...

we 'scared' some of the patients according to our seniors..

we learnt from the patients..

we were guided by the HOs, MOs, specialist..

we were taught by our wonderful lecturers..

we were 'confused' sometimes with different examinations..

we reminded ourselves.. "this lecturer wan this..that lecturer wan that"

we were given the chance to conduct post mortems..

we were allowed to conduct deliveries..

we were basically given the chance to observe, assist or do things over here..

which is CERTAINLY a previlege as some drs dont even do deliveries like us..

YES...im certainly proud of myself to be here for the hands on experience..

from conducting deliveries.. vaccinated the newborns... pap smears...suturing..etc

and of course this wouldnt be happening..

if not for the trust, believe and guidance from the patients, nurses, the doctors..

thank you to u all for the chances given to me...

one of my most memorable part was a mother telling me..

she doesnt mind giving birth every year if im the one conducting the delivery..WALAH :P

4th and 5th year moved REALLY fast..

it was honeymoon year for most of us in 4th year...

different and learning new things..

and enjoying ourselves in community posting and district postings..

learning how to stay and run away from dogs during our house to house visits..

learning to survive with water crisis or 'milo' type of water..

the A&E dept became our lepak place in Papar Hosp...

outings to the beaches...

BBQ in the beach and guessing of 'ghost? buffaloes? cows? when a row of blacker moving things passed us in the darkness??? "

wonderful times we had in our elective postings in respective places..

then it dawned on me..

FINAL YEAR STUDENT..

hit me hard right on the spot..especially the disappointing first exam..

pressure and stress was really building up..

whether i like it or not..the feeling was certainly different..

telling myself i HAVE /MUST/ NEED to get thru this final hurdle..

with the last few months of preparation..

the hard work..the prayers.. the support and encouragement..

THANK GOD for the blessing..

THANX to my ancestors for the blessing too..

for guiding me through this...

it was certainly a long journey..

but im glad i FINALLY made it...

last but not least.. there are certainly many ppl i need to thank...
