Stressed

Have you had a day when it feels that you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Somehow, I feel its today.

Hyperbolic, I know.

Memories of Surgery Group 2

Thank you everyone for the great memories. :) Most of us may still be together for the coming rounds, heck some of us may be together throughout our whole clinical education, but the experiences and bonds we built during the surgical rounds, will forever be remembered. And may this post immortalize the memories we shared. :D

bila nak makan ni..

laparr.. :(

Yay! Dah boleh makan :D

Baca doa pun nak tidur ke Anep!?? :P

Panjang la pulak doanye.. :P

Sarah bagi ucapan.. Touching nyaa. :D

Memori terakhir zaman bujang :D

Suka gila kalau cakap pasal kawen :D

Yessssss!

Takyah control2. ;)

Anep tukar tempat, aku lagi tinggi. :D

Thank you, everyone! :D

A breakfast story

*Silly Lily woke me up, as always*

"Urh, 5.30 already?" I slept at two last night. Sigh. Need.. Sleep..

*Tut tut, tut tut* Her message came in.

Okayy, I'm up.

After performing the Subh prayer, I'm wide awake. One of the many wonders of the wudhu'.

Breakfast timee!! My last meal was at 5pm yesterday, so you get the drill, right?

"A huge cup of chocoffee (choc + coffee) :P and some cereals would do," I quipped.

Oh damn...

:D

Hair dilemma

Crap. What or what should I do??

Hair?

Maybe not?

You decide. :P

Anyhow, all the best to all fourth year students who'll be starting their 10-days study leave. :D Internal Medicine and Surgery together in one semester? I guess one of our worse dreams came true. To the death we fight! ;)

Selingan tatkala sibuk

Assalamualaikum wbt. Selamat sejahtera semua. (Ade gaya lecturer tak?)

Mcm biase, kawe masih sebok dgn studies kawe. Smlm dpt lah cuti sehari tp kawe pi main bola dgn teman. Nak bagi peluh tubek sikit, baru sihat tubuh, dok gitu?

Sy orang KL tulen, tak reti cakap dialek. So yang kat atas ni, sj nk main2 menghiburkan diri sendiri. Jgn makan hati yer kawan2 utara dan timur ku. :P

Anyway, I just feel like updating the people back home as to what I did last week. Jeng jeng jeng. Surprise2. I took my first blood sample. ;) Seronok n nasib baik lah my hands takde nak menggigil sangat. Got the vein on my first try but the blood didn't come out. I had to move the syringe around and let the needle find the vein without pulling put the syringe. Peluh sejuk lah jga! Hehe.

Thanks Anas for letting me poke a needle into your arm. ;)

Next time I'll try to get some pictures from my clinical rounds. *wink2*

Oh, here's something for those who enjoy seeing the photos I take. (Bajet ade je peminat gambar ko). Haih.


Till the next update. Stay sane.

Selamat Hari Raya

Salam aidilfitri dan salam 1Malaysia. Bwek. Hehehe.

Just wanna make a simple post wishing all my family, friends, housemates, coursemates, dan siapa2 saje yang mengenali Johannas bin Mohd Yusof, Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir tanpa Batin. ;)

0 - 0 yer semua? Dah start semester baru nanti baru kita start kira balik. Hehehe. To those who's in Egypt, kita jumpa lagi 10hb Oktober nanti. And untuk yang akan ade kat Malaysia je, kalau2 tak dapat nak jumpa lagi dah, chalo bette. Jumpa lagi bila aku balik tahun depan. InsyaAllah balik. Ada hajat yang perlu dilaksanakan. ;)



ps. Khidmat fotografi disediakan untuk mereka-mereka yang berminat. Hehe. Gurau. :P

A laugh

Me, myself and I am not sure whatever have I done these first few days back in Malaysia sampai boleh neglect my all-time favorite, blogging. Okay2, tipu je. Blogging has never been a persevered habit of mine. Of course akan ade Ups and Downs nye, but as all of you might have noticed, Downs lah lagi banyak. I guess I simply blogged whenever I felt like writing, and not sebab nak jaga my blog hits. Its also never a problem of writer's block. Ouch, sorry kalau Meor ade yang terase. :P

So, what had happened recently? Lets see.
- I got my hair cut short, but I think you guys mesti dah tau.
- I've spent nearly RM4000. I won't say on what. You'll just have to guess. Hehe.
- Surprisingly, I've managed to maintain my weight after 1 week being home. ;)
- For the first time, I met a random guy whom I met in a forum (just because I wanna mod my PSP)
- Went to Jalan TAR with my mom, to get myself some black kain for my baju melayu.
- Turned my sister into a part-time model. :P
- Met Dhana three times. Hehe. Ala, takkan tak kenal Dhana kot. That beautiful, petite, and awesome gf of mine. *wink2*
- Purposely coughed loudly in public, just to see how'd people react during this H1N1 pandemic. Haha.
- Wrestled a kid because he called me "botak". Ok fine, tipu lagi. Lol.

Anyway, I'm just chilling around while waiting for the hospital to give a reply regarding my "attachment". Hopefully dapat lah. If not, kena try another way lah kat private hospital pulak.

Oh btw, for those who have yet to watch "The Proposal", please do so. "Setem" is not that bad either. "Apa?! Kita mahu kasi cucuk buah dia??" Hehe. Definitely laughed my ass off in the cinema. :P

Guess what?

1. This blog going to be revived now. ;)

2. Exam's are finally over and I pray and hope that all is well.

3. Clinical medicine here I come!

4. 6 days till my flight. :))

5. For the first time, I resisted sleeping for 30 hours straight! From 5 am 20th of July till 11am 21st of July! Personal best ni. :P

6. Want to know why? Here's why. Last paper-meeting-bowling-lunch-bowling again-arcade-dinner-midnight movie-4am BBQ at the beach. Terbaik! ;)

7. The electrician I called yesterday simply removed the fuse and short-circuited the electrical circuit of my apartment's floor so that I can get my electricity back. Arab arab. Where's your safety?

8. Went to send Pokyan off last night. Gila jealous weh tengok dak2 Melayu dalam bas tu. Semua nak balik dah and I'm still stuck here. Siapa suruh mengade nak rase naik 5-star airlines. :(

9. My Citibank credit card got rejected. Lol! (No, I did not reach the credit limit) :P

10. Oh, I'm bald now. Hehehe.

Bagero!

NOKIA!! !@#@!(@*!!& !!

Urh! Handset yang aku baru pakai tak sampai setahun dah KO! Dulu pn sebenarnya dh tunjuk tanda2 nak nazak, but aku uat endah tak endah sbb still elok. Malangnye, pagi tadi aku bangun, bende alah tu dah memang xle nak diselamatkn. Haih. Nasib baik ade handset lame aku yang still elok walaupun dah 4 TAHUN LEBIH AKU PAKAI! Anehnya, handset lame aku tu nokia gak. Mcm haram tol. Jgn harap lah aku nak bli handset baru. Lagi rela jadi kuno. (gurau2) :P

Hmmm. Ok, dah. Lega lepaskan geram. Hehehe.

So, I guess it's been awhile people! I finished my last midterms of the semester about 3 days back and I sort of overindulged myself with movies, games, reading about photography etc. I was doing everything except medicine. Lol. Fortunately, I've come to my senses and guess what? I've started preparing for my finals. Yeah yeah, its still a month away but my conscience tells me that it is best if I start out early and give myself a good headstart. Maklumlah, IT IS my last final exam of my preclinical years. Rase chuak tu lebih2 pulak. Hehe. How fast time flies, right? ;)

Anyway, after the midterms the other day, some of my friends and I, went to hang out at the beach. Agak seronok lah jga. Hehe. Serious mase balik tu lenguh gle badan. Tu lah pasal, sape suruh gi berenang sampai tengah. Main tolak tarik ngan ombak lah akibatnye. :P

Aaaa?

Sape cakap candid takle posing? :P

Crocs for everyone! ;)

Itu Raden, dia pandai buat kek. Ini Mizi, dia partner gym saya. :P

Aswad, Che Abe, Raden, "lensahati", Mizi ;)

Serenity :)

Ps. I miss home. Haih.
Ps lagi. Sape2 yang nak gi pantai lagi pasni, ajak aku! :P

Kernamu exam.

Yes! Habis Pharma! Habis Micro! Habis Patho! xD

*tengok atas meja, kecewa*

Oh, masih ade physio, bio, histo ngan anat.

Anyone willing to share any fast-reading techniques? -.-

Argh, mati mati pun kena abiskan gak. Urh.

Ps. New Zealand Natural surprisingly chose my blog for their ad campaign. So apelagi korang, click on the fricking banners! :P

Oh and another thing, happy 14th birthday to Aisyah Azahar. ;)

Catch up.

One whole week had passed and tomorrow, I'll be starting my 6th semester here - the last of my pre-clinical years. If I were to poke around my thoughts, my first step into the faculty felt recent. Without paying much attention to the time that's passed, I'm at the last hurdle of pre-clinical medicine. Will I fall? Or will I soar high? Am I up for it?

Anyway, this holiday had been very restful for myself. Things have been smooth and not at sixes and sevens like they usually do. I'm fully rested and stress-free, ready to accumulate stress along the way to August. Lol. Accumulate stress, that's something I'm good at. How to handle it? Simple. For a guy, I'll just find ways to increase my testosterone level. ;) (Do take note you're talking to a med junkie here)

Ps. Watchmen sucks. Don't bother queuing up for a ticket, if ever there's a line that is.

Holiday To-dos

1. Sleep
2. Sleep
3. Get a pair of new shoes
4. Sleep
5. Clean up the room
   
6. Clear up the desk
7. More sleep
8. Read up Medicine of the Prophet p.b.u.h.
9. Cook something tasty apart from fried rice. :P
10. Apply for I.S.I.C.

12. Catch-up on stinking Malaysian politics

14. Have I mentioned sleep?
15. Laundry, urh.
16. Movies!
17. Do nothing. xD
    

TGIT

Currently listening to, Deeper Conversation by Yuna.

Since last week I've been waiting for it and thank God its Thursday. :)

Two days back, we had our Microbiology exam and Alhamdulillah, it was okay. I did tell my friend that somehow I felt our professors went easy on us since the questions were relatively easier if compared to what we had last semester and the semester before. I'm gonna give myself some 'rewarding sensation' and hope for a good grade. Hehe.

And today btw, we had our Community Medicine paper. So I guess this entry is something like a double bonanza - Microbiology, Checked! together with Community Medicine, Checked!. :P
I've never really enjoyed studying Community Medicine with all the epidemiological studies, medicinal statistics, research studies, health education and what-not. I can admit that it is the ONLY subject by which the first time I opened the text book is the two-three nights we have to study for it. But, I've fared quite OK before and I'm hoping for the same if not better this time around.

However, that being said, I consider myself lucky in the aspect that the questions were always straight forward and simple with no essays required. If I was to apply the same to the other subjects I have, I would have FAILED. And by FAILED I meant MISERABLY. I'm definitely not someone who can stand up, and nonchalantly say, I'll live with that. Haha. Alhamdulillah, I'm blessed for being able to quickly understand and memorize things but I'm not really someone who can digest a lot information in a short period of time. Time is what I always need. Don't we all? ;)

Sooo, with time currently being by my side till our next paper (Pathology) which will be on Moday, I'm planning to give myself a pat on the back and say, "Good job so far, lets rest." It'll only be for tonight Na. :P I'll get back on my feet first thing tomorrow after Subh. Hehe. YOU on the other hand mon cherie, have a paper tomorrow, so, work your heart out love. :)

Till next.

Kupasan Farmakologi.

Hai semua.

Saya ingin cuba sesuatu yang baru, sebab itulah entri ini berbahasa Melayu dan bukan berbahasa Inggeris seperti biasa. Hahaha.

Semalam, telah berakhirnya peperiksaan Farmakologi untuk pelajar-pelajar tahun tiga Kuliah Perubatan Universiti Iskandariah. Rata-rata dapat dilihat muka keriangan, dan kepuasan para pelajar menjawab soalan yang tidaklah serumit soalan-soalan Parasitologi atau Fisiologi. Masa yang diberikan juga dirasakan berlalu teramatlah perlahan jika dibandingkan dengan hari-hari sebelumnya. Masih tinggal sejam, tapi dah boleh nampak dua tiga orang pelajar yang dah tak boleh nak duduk diam. Sayakah? Dah siap lah katakan, asyik duduk tenung jam je. Haha. Walaupun siap awal, takde langsung rasa bangga dengan diri sendiri. 3-4 kali juga lah kertas tu dibelek-belek. Simply making sure there're no mistakes. *oops terlepas gak kuar BI* :P

Hmm. InsyaAllah A-. ;) Kertas seterusnya, Mikrobiologi.

*please re-read using tone pembaca pemberita* :P

Catatan penulis: Saya bukan macam Amani yang cakap "I sound silly when I speak in Malay" because sememangnya I don't sound silly speaking our native language. But I have to admit, I do sound silly writting in Malay. Rasa skema berbaku-baku ni. Yer lah kan, like what someone always said to me, I'm Malay, bukan Melayu. :P
Hope you guys got some laughs out of this. Hahaha.

Ps: Kepada Nursham Melati, happy 21st birthday my dearest bestie. The both of us go way back and you're one of those who have known me the longest. So, I sincerely hope and wish you have a great one on your 21st birthday. Much love. :)

Being twenty-one.

I meant to post this entry yesterday but it wasn't possible due to the persistent rain and strong winds we had throughout the whole of yesterday which I guess was the reason behind my bad internet connection. Urh.

Alhamdulillah, I am now twenty-one years old. ;) Praise to Allah S.W.T for the chance for me to have lived in this borrowed world, to be able to breathe, to see, to feel.. to learn. I've to say that I've had my fair share of mistakes which I horribly regretted doing but I guess they are all a part and parcel of life. To make mistakes, albeit over and over again, and to learn from them, making us a better person - making me a better person, insyaAllah.

I thank God, for I am blessed with a great family, blessed with wonderful people around me, blessed with the feelings of love - and not hatred. I am thankful, for having the capabilities, to continuously learn, to gather knowledge which is not only important for myself, but also to the future of men. Alhamdulillah. :)

Maturity does not come by itself. Maturity comes from our experiences, either something which we ourselves have experienced or from what others have taught us. I've never felt myself being matured even when others say I am. Perhaps for them, I am matured enough in certain aspects, but I do believe that in other different aspects, I am immature. I am still growing up, even if I am already twenty-one. ;)

Anyway, thanks to those who have wished me, either in person, via Facebook, or SMS-es. I appreciate them, a lot. And to my parents and to you, you guys are simply the best. :) Thank you, for the gifts but most importantly, thank you for your prayers~

:)

Early surprise.

Guess what I found in my post-box today. ;)


An early birthday surprise for me! Hehe. Thanks Mama, thanks Ayah. :) Thank you Wan and Khalis. ;) And thank you, Zura. Hehe. Though you've got to stop calling me Mojo. I'm gonna be 21, you know. :P

Certainly the best way to get one's motivation up, don't you guys think so? A heart-warming gift and card from your family. I love you guys so much. :)

7 days

Today's the 2nd of February 2009.

Hmm.

There's only 7 days left.

2nd February, 1988

"What's all this fluid all around me? I wanna get out! But wait a minute, why am I not drowning? Hmm. I have to see what's out there. Is it also full of fluid, or something else? 7 days, I'll just wait for 7 more days."
-Curiosity-

2nd February, 1998

"How old are you, boy?" "9 and three quarters, uncle." "Wow, you're 9? For a moment there I thought you're 12. Big boy!" "Thank you, uncle. You look rather old yourself."
-Sarcastic- ;)

2nd February, 2008

"Crap, crap! One more week, but there's still so much to cover! Adoiiii. Sakitnye amik Medic nii. Urh!"
-Not even realizing the date to know your birthday's coming- :P

Today, 2nd February 2009

I guess I do realize the date this time around. God, I'm gonna be 21. The world still feels rather new. There's just so much I've done and simply too much that I've not done. I guess people celebrate entering adulthood, right? Wish I could do the same. Sigh. We've got exams next week, so a party is a definite no-no. Lol. I really do not know what to expect from myself, being 21 and all. Am I mature enough? Do I see things, as an adult? Do I look grown up?

There's 7 days left.

I'll figure it out.

"Happy becoming birthday, big boy"

Study leave.

Hello. ;)

As most of you would have guessed, (you'll know if you've been following this blog) I was having my practical examinations throughout the whole of last week. And yesterday's Parasitology paper concludes it all for me. :) Now with the practicals out of the way, it's time to pick up arms and fight. Its hell time. Rawwrr! xD

The following will be the 'fields' for me to tackle with my, hard-wrenching-eye-popping-jaw-dropping "weapon". :P (I've no idea what is it, so don't bother asking)

29/1 Pathology
30/1 Pharmacology
31/1 Parasitology & Microbiology
1/2-2/2 Physiology
3/2 Histology & Anatomy
4/2-6/2 Anatomy with a pinch of Physiology ;)

It is rather crammed up, don't you think? Oh well, this is all that I could muster in one week of study leave. Better hope it is good enough. Prayers up people! Pray for me! :)

Live Jo, live.

Yes, Jo, live. ;)

I need guidance..

Hey..

The number of my assignments have been dwindling for the last couple of days. Just this week, one presentation after another have reduced the amount of work needed done. Thank God. However, as one door closes, a few others open. I'm not even sure whether it is appropriate to give them the term, "doors". Honestly, I'd prefer the word, "pit holes" - deep and endless. Yeah, that certainly sums it well. Obviously I'm talking about my end-of-semester finals. Duh. The practical part is only 9 days left and the written part, hmm, three weeks, plus minus a few days. Definitely too close for comfort.

This time around, it'll be my fifth time, preparing for these examinations. It is just too bad, instead of seeing myself handling it better, I only saw myself feeling a lot of unnecessary stress. And the stress is definitely increasing by the semester. A whole lot of me would put the blame on the insane amount of knowledge that's required from us each term. Before I came here, people used to say, "You'll definitely find it hard for the first two years but it'll be smooth sailing from then on." Being an enthusiastic-naive "kid", I looked forward to the challenge. I dare you to say it to me again now. (Ps. You'd better be wearing a chain-mail)

Medicine is definitely a branch trunk of knowledge which requires a crazily-huge amount of hard work and perseverance. Being someone who have devoted his life to all this, who am I to complain? Suck it up and face it, head on! ;) But I know, I definitely need help. The priceless support and guidance from my loved ones, will be the stick, whacking me on the head when I'm lazy. The continuous silent prayers, will be my pillar, holding me. You guys' are my strength when I am weak, my light when I am lost, my conscience, when I am wrong.


Oh well, semangat macam mane pun, I still feel like jumping into a "pit hole" after seeing the pile of books in front of me. I've got room for one more. Any takers? ;)

Gambar hiasan. That dude is DEFINITELY NOT ME. :P
