Very Inspiring Lecturer....

Our university did it again!! we lost another great and dedicated lecturer... In this 3 years of medical life... I've met some really great professor and lecturer... let's count!!

Prof Roland - my very 1st mentor during year 1... although I get to know him for only 2 months.. but I never forget how he guided me for my Formative Assessment... He is the only mentor that discuss each and every single question that I answer wrongly with me!! Especially those super super long microbe's names that is very very long and very very difficult for me to memorise during year 1...

Associate Prof Anupama - the only lecturer who take LRT back home with me.. If I stay back after class until 5pm, I will sure see her waiting at the LRT station... she is a very kind and good teacher... Will never forget how she actually "forced" us to copy each and every single page of her slides during lecture!! LOL... btw she is a very cute lecturer!! We always talk about her husband that is teaching at IMU in the LRT!!

Prof Zabidah - the pharmacology lecturer that never let us down for our FA result... this is because she will always some sort like "hint" us on the questions that is coming out in exam!! Good to see her at KT during dinner at Kuala Ibai... Too bad she is teaching at another university...

Prof Aishah - greatest teacher in my life!! she is the only person that manage to stop me from quiting medicine during year 1!! I'm sure I won't be here at KT if without her... too bad she is leaving soon... feel bad for those juniors... they've lost a very good lecturer and motivator... hope I can go for her farewell dinner next week at KL!!

Finally - Dr. James Smith!! like the way he make his diagnosis... He is the very 1st person that trigger us not to think like a medical student... but a practicing clinician instead!! a lecturer that really put all his effort in teaching us and will never scold us even if we ask some very stupid question... Most important of all, he is a very very very humble person!! (totally different with the arrogant and somehow "not that good Prof" of us in internal med... someone who always scold his student "rubbish lah!!") hehehee!!

There's some really nice quote from Dr James...

"All clinicians are not good teachers and all teachers are not good clinicians. What you need is a good clinician teacher."

"If you already found the elephant, why bother to find his footstep?"

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." - William Arthur Ward.

"For the future of human being's heath, we will get together."

"We teachers don't teach, at most we stir the students to learn."

and the champion line:

"You know what? Looi really look like my youngest brother..." That was when I'm presenting my case halfway during BST... hahahaha!! and guess what? He actually asked me to go FB search for his youngest brother!! seriously I do think I look very much like his brother... LOL...

Dr. James... a great teacher that inspired us all!!

All the best to you Dr James!! hope one day in the future I get to learn from you again!!

This is ~Life~

Been weeks our dear Ms. Monsoon is hiding herself and no where to be seen with Mr. Sun keep showing off his power by raising the temperature!! Gosh... some even say monsoon is replaced by global warming!! If that ever happen the first thing I hope Ministry of Health will implement is the removal of white coats for all the medical practitioner!! will be great if they remove tie too!! hehehe... or another better option>> place more air-cond in the hospital!!

Fortunately today monsoon is back!! it's so cooling until I just wish that I could lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling fan for the whole day!! Feeling lazy in such comfy temperature... Lucky my determination on procrastinating procrastination is high enough to keep me concentrate on my case write up and finally I'm done with it!! yay!! *shouting out loud* waaahhh arrghhhh lalalalala roar!!

Been weeks I've stop taking instant noodles... maybe because for the past few weekend I'm at KL having good food with my family... nearly forget how maggie mee taste like.. hahaha... Today.. in order to celebrate finish writing my case write up + non of my house mates is awake for lunch.. I decided to cook myself maggie mee~ Nothing is better than sitting on the bed, watching Korean drama (forced by LIM SHIAU CHONG) and eating a hot hot bowl of MAGGIE!! It's simply awesome!! another cup of chinese tea will sure make my day~ perfect weekend if I don't have to go for night duty later...

ohhh~ sedapnya~

Slacking around is just the ideal way of life... It's time for me to stare at the ceiling fan!! XD

bus bUS BUS!!

What a day!! spend almost 11 hours just to travel from KL back to KT (usually took me around 5 hours by car or 7 hours by bus)... Terrible experience of long distance bus travelling which wasted both my time and money!!

Went to Bukit Jalil bus station at 10am to start my journey back to the turtle land... Mana tau when I reach to the counter that lady told me that the bus breakdown!! That time I really think jialat liao lorhh... how am I suppose to go back KT in time to clerk my case for tmr Prof Hashim's BST?

I was "advice" by the lady to travel to Kuantan and from there get a bus to KT... well i guess that's reasonable enough since I can't wait till the night for the next coach... Immediately she help get me a ticket from Transnational and I have to wait for the bus for an hour! damn the weather is so hot and I'm wearing black!!

Travelling in Transnational is not as comfortable as the night coach I took a week ago... I was assign for a 2 person seat and fortunately the seat next to me was empty... It will be very uncomfortable if there's passenger sitting next to me... the seat is very very small!! Besides, there's bumpy and shaky road feelings in the bus even when we are traveling on the highway where it should be smooth and steady... can't even sleep well in the bus and both my back and gluteus is pain!!

We reach Kuantan bus station after 5 hours of travelling (It was 4pm already!!).. I walk to the counter section to get myself the earliest ticket back to KT... After asking ALL the travel company.. the earliest bus I can get depart at 8.30pm!! Hell man that's too late larhhh!! but they told me I have got no choice since that's the only time slot with free seats available... so I bought the ticket and plan to walk around the town since I got almost 3 - 4 hours to spend...

The moment I walk out from the station I saw The Store... well I guess I could spend some time over there (hopefully there's cinema for me to catch a movie... hahaha..) While I was walking halfway suddenly I saw a bus waiting at the roadside with KUALA TERENGGANU sticking on the windscreen!! I quickly walk towards the bus driver and ask if there's any empty seat available for me... Guess what?? there's more than 5 empty seat available!! the guy in the counter for this particular bus company told me it was full... damn!! wasted my money larh since I already bought ticket from another company which depart at 8.30pm... well I guess RM 18 is worth it rather than wasting my time slacking over there for 4 hours...

Lucky this bus is very comfortable and I manage to get some proper rest... took me another 4 hours to reach KT!! Lesson of the day... never take last day bus back!! any shit could happen.. hahaha... Better go for night bus... wasted 1 whole day just to travel back KT... LOL!!

Mesra Mall!! those rain and little flood tell me I'm getting nearer and nearer to KT...

well well... holiday??

Muahahah!! at last I'm done with all my work!! case write up, reports and seminar presentation really spoiled my holiday!! Fortunately there's another holiday coming... errmmm... tommoorrroooww!! woohhooooo~ at first I did not plan to go back KL since I think it's better to use them for my studies... but I guess I do deserve some "real" holiday... even if it's just 4 days... OMG.. I love Malaysia!! There's so many holidays here~

Everything go just so well... suddenly Nicky says he is driving back to KL so I can tumpang his car back and my dad also allow me to go back since my cousin is coming from UK tomorrow!! hopefully he bring back chocolates!! ohhh... I'm sooo hungry now (empty junk food supply)...

Last week holiday was awesome... although most of the time is in the library and my room.. at least I still manage to catch 2 movies and also walk around KL for half a day... Really a very full schedule... Get to meet up with most of my IMU friend... by sitting in the library and somehow they will just appear in front of you... missed those days of revision week study at IMU library... Loves being the intruder (that's what they call me)...

That day I was on my way to get myself some medical book from Kamal bookstore... suddenly I have the feeling of walking around KL... I remember I did it once last year but that one is a well planned solo KL trip... this time I just randomly walk around, go down from station to station, enjoying the city view, taking LRT, took pictures of skyscrapers and looking at the people around... I guess it's a good practice for my future bag pack journey...

LRT!! u will never get to see this at KT!!

a view of KL's skyscrapers..

KLCC and my favourite dolphin....

at last~ Dataran Merdeka!!!

walking alone... free to go anywhere I want.. still.. i guess 2 is better than 1...

Not to forget another very funny incident happened last week... totally prove that this is a very small world... and really that incident gave me a big surprise... No wonder u come KT and find me lah (I think most of us know who he is by now)... HAHAHA!!! anyway Hachiko is very beautiful movie... Worth watching it!! Oh yeah.. there's this little kitty incident happen during last week holiday too.. but i guess it will be better if i post it on a different post.... so stay tune for it for those that don't know what happened!!

Okay... that's about it... my eyes are pretty tired... i guess it's time to sleep and my bed is calling me!! ciao~

PS: my bowling suck!! hahahaa!!
