Dare to DREAM!!

Salam(peace be upon you),

WARNING:this entry is quite self centered cause i'm talking bout my achievements..hehe :)

October is the month of some of my dreams comes true. It all does not come easily. Practise makes perfect.I did encountered some failures in achieving them.Therefore, when I practise,spend some time & money in preparing myself for it. I was dare to DREAM.

However, the road is not easy and I never thought that god will answers my prayer so soon in giving everything in a month...alhmdulillah(praise Allah).

My dreams that are fulflilled:


1. PAss my Paediatric & Orthopaedic posting (core posting that people can easily get flunk). so far never fail any posting yet even though i'm busy with college activities & student societies..God forbid any of this from happening..Amin :)

2. Get 2nd for Futsal in inter-collage sports game at UKM (SUKEM 2010)-we are competing other non medical colleage in our Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia so far our team never win any game.our greatest achievement was a tie..hehe.On that day we only loss to the winning team.My 'udang terbakar' (burned face) was worth it after all-still have it after 2 weeks. We played 5 games straight that day.

As the Captain, I can never do this alone.Thanks to the dedicated people in the team-Temoh, Farah, Fatin,Farhana,Christina,Afifah & Hanim for the constant practise this year...even during puasa :) also Nana and friends as our additional help! It all started last year but the team expanded middle of this year. Thanks to my futsal ball that become the pacemaker of our team..Just before SUKEM, my futsal shoes came along,and it is PINK!-the only thing I bought for raya :)



3. Get to sing and perform duet piano-guitar at my college during Hari Siswi :) last performance was last year..Me & Farah performed togather last year during our college dinner but we did not sing. This time we sing and we only practise togather the night before and the performance turn out to be just nice as everyone like it :)


4. Able to finish 10km run at get the finishing medal at UPM Wave Run 2010-This is my second attempt on 10km run. My first one was at Putrajaya.unable to get the finishing medal & was quite sad about it(maybe will try again next year). This time I am quite prepared. Thanks to Nadiah my runner buddy for the training togather, Mr KC Lee a.k.a coach for the guide and 'Nike+ band'..not feeling guilty to buy it coz I get it less 50%..hehe

(an insult to Mizuno because regardless the runner tee, I'm wearning Nike+band & Nike shoe with Addidas pants)SORRY!!

I was DARE to DREAM! and NOW i BELIEVE anything is POSSIBLE..insyallah(with Allah's will). Just need to believe and work on it.. everthing starts with the WILL to DO IT!

p/s it is normal to get down sometimes. I do feel it to. Just need to find the way to get your spirit up. What happen this month do lift up my spirit...however you never know what the future holds. May my spirit always lift up high (",)

Dealing with cute beings..

Salam..



Hi. Finally I can relax a bit as my study week just started. The term ends with Paediatric posting. It's not just dealing with cute beings(children). We have to win their hearts and modified certain techniques in dealing with our small patients.



During this posting, i am officially an aunt as my nephew was born on August 18th...new member of the family : Umar Khalish (haven't meet him in person yet..busy playing with other children in Paediatric posting..huhu)



I was susprised that i am more mentally exhausted for this posting (I rather be exhausted due to physical stress).I was quite depressed towards the end of it as I had to faced the small practical exam called short-case and also other factors that is to private to be mentioned here. Its funny cause I think, I am more stress in this posting compared to Obs& Gyne. Lucky, it happen in Ramadhan,where we will find back the ease of mind during this holy month.

The most enjoyable part of this posting is playing with the small children and determine their age based on their performance. We call it Developmental Assessment! So, now i have the skill of guessing the age of small kids..yeay! We also have to be competent in neonatal screening where we check any abnormalities in babies less than 24 hour of life. Now i can hold babies less than one day without fear of breaking their delicate bodies.

Doctors in paediatrics are considered as those who wants to produce a perfect & safe doctors out of the students. Their intention is good! The process of making us realizing how we should work hard is quite eye-opening. Medicine is not just memorizing..it is more to understanding!

In paediatric, we have to understand the impact of the problem towards the social factor of the child. I encounter a lot of patinents under 'Orang Kurang Upaya' (OKU) and go to special class. It's a bonus for me as I did my elective posting there last semester.Moreover, the effect towards the family economical status is tremendous in chronically ill patients. Belive me, medical treatment& management is not cheap!



I also also discover that even a few months old child can have a lots of problem more or equal to patients we see in the adult medical ward. It is intresting to see how critically ill babies were managed with my posting at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Paediatrics and obstetric & gynecology(O&G) are siblings. I understand more about the hazards and risk for the babies that can effect their future. We are exposed to so many hazards and yet we are able to be normal...hehe.



Wasalam.

Our beloved teacher..

Salam,

Wow, Paediatric posting does have its impact on me. I have 'puasa' from updating my blog for a month. And yes Ramadhan is coming up starting 11/8..but that won't keep me from having small jogs by tasik in the evening or futsal next to rumah Mc D every Thursday(strictly..the court is ours on Thrursday.no men are allowed.sorry to disapointed you guys last week.hehe)

With PERSIAP 2010 COmmittee..goodbye MU..welcome Arsenal

No one can replace his dedication towards us the students. Not all teachers are the same. Some are garang(stirct..and even give you palpitation), some are very friendly(making you smile up to your ear) and there's even certain lecturers are sarcastic (making you Insaf for a certain period). There's even lecturer who ignores you that you have to make certain effort for them to aknowledge you (if you are proactive enough).

All the differences colors up our life as astudent. I could not agree more with Prof Norzi, another respectable lecturer from O&G. The diversity makes life intresting and NOT BORING. Therefore,its up to us students to take it positively or negatively.

I'm glad to know that if you did something wrong, all the anger and dissapointment won't be remembered(unless it is significant). So, its ok to make mistake, but improve not to make it next time. Don't make the bad scene affects you so much causing you traumatized when you see the lecturer.

From a story by one of our lecturer(cannot tell who),it happened to one of our senior during professional exam(for final years). She was sooo traumatized by this one lecturer causing her to faint during the exam..the power of FOBIA..hehe

Buddies United at Prof's house

Personal birthday gift..sorry for the 'bunyi sumbang'..haven't play my 2nd instrument for quite sometime..

So, lecturers. I am glad for your help and touched by your dedication. To Prof Madya Shahrir Mohammad: Thank you for everything. Happy Belated Birthday! Glad we did suprised you with the help of your beloved wife & daughters :) I'm glad to be apart of the 5th year suprised party plan

Wslm.

P/s : Glad that Prof 'tak jadi' transfer to USIM totally :)

Passion for sports :)

Salam,

It's already a year since I lft Bandung. Overthere,i have a routine of spending my evenings or weekend morning doing aerobic, light jog or swimming. Among of those three, I usually go for aerobic the most since the gym is just 15 minutes walk from where I stayed. I even entered the competition twice and attended the gym instructor's parties a few times for birthdays and her engagement. Through sports, I make friends with the local peoples(ibu-ibu), including students from other faculties.

When I came back to Malaysia, I have to find something to substitute my evening aerobics. The hospital is a very strategic place since the swimming pool and stadium is just in front of it. However, no ladies' day for the pool which keeping me from going...huhu. Another alternative is jogging by Taman tasik Permaisuri which something I can do alone when no one can accompany me.

I am not new in jogging. I did jogging since high school.However, I never consider it as something I enjoy the most(especially when u do it alone) until I enter the competition which I upgrade myself as a long distance runner. It feels good when you are able to finish the race. It is definitely a bonus when you are better than others. The next aim is 12.3km run..

It started about a year ago which i only manage to jog half round of the tasik and then gradually upgrading myself until I was able to finish 3 rounds straight without stopping. Later, I entered a 7km run organized by my fellow friends which open for public . I did training twice for it and manage to get 4th place in 43 minutes duration without injuries and to my suprise no tremendous exhaustion. I puasa sunat the next day and did my normal run on the other day. Therefore, i am eager for another run. I guess, I am now infected with running. :) Thus, i bought the Nike shoes specifically for long distance running at a bargain price.

Actually I was aiming for a futsal shoes for a long time. However, after a few considerations, I choose running shoes. Finally, we girls get one day (Thursday) for us to use the court at our 'kolej kediaman'. Thanks to our Jawatankuasa Kolej (JAKSA).However, I wonder will it last? This is because, not many girls are ehtusiastic enough to come down and play. Sooner or later, the guys will claim back the day..huhu.

Sports unites people no matter who they are and brings us closer :)

Wasalam (",)

6 June??

Salam,

Why the date is significant to me??

Its my date of birth! I am officially 22 years old today. Alhamdulillah..Hmm,,Getting older I should be more wiser right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thank you for the wishes and prayers that everyone send me via SMS & FB. I was suprised to received 99 new notification after restraining myself from using it from saturday morning till tonight since I'm busy with my cousin's wedding preparation.

Today is the 5th cousin's wedding that I shared the wedding cake with my the newly weds..haha..Thats the truth of 6th June. You can see a lot of people getting married on date. The school holidays usually fall on that day. YDP Agong's birthday also sometimes choosen to be on that date (this year on 5th of June). Some mother even choose to do cesearian section on this date (its a true story I learned from my friend).

Maybe the number is nice to certain people 06..06..?? this date does not signifies any celebration, yet people like to choose it for a wedding date. maybe because it will ususally fall on school holiday.My birthdate falls on 1988.thereore my birthdate is 06.06.88..nice number eh??

As for me..happy getting older..huhu.It's ok..I will be 'Young at heart' as always :).Hopefully I will 'amanah' in what Allah give me to live this life as servant and to serve others.May success be mine and happy life awaits me in future. AMin..
Wasalam

p/s : my only little brother will 'sunat'(circumcision) tomorrow (on 7/6). Therefor, my bodyguard number will increase to 3 now :) ..people says that boys will shoot up and gets taller after cirumcision.Is there any proof?He is excited to get taller than me..(yeah,I agree i'm quite small) 'kecik-kecik cili padi' (",)

Extra lesson at Operation Theater (OT)

Salam,

Entering Operation Theater(OT) room is our routine in certain postings. I had this experience in previous postings ( Surgery and O&G). However, today it is quite different with the rest of my experiences in OT room. We received tazkirah, philosopy insight and teaching by Mr Halim, an Ortho-Paediatric specialist of UKMMC. We cover a lot of topics today and as adult self directed learner, we had to revise Apley's(our ortho book) to learn more rather than spoon feed by our lecturers.

Extra things we learn besides orthopaedic are :

1. We get to use to mp3 player playing music in OT room to make working environment less intense. Sometimes they even put al-Quran recital which make the surrounding calm & soothing. I even encounter an OT room where the registrar from middle east recite alquran that he bought during a sugery of a muslim man during my surgical posting.

Mr Halim inform us that its better to play Al-Quran recital than other songs. It makes people talk less inside the OT (to respect the recital) and less tense. Besides, we don't frequently recite al-Quran therefore, why not we listen more.

2. He did mention about prayers that doctors usually always try to fullfill during their busy day. Never leave your prayers,he said.DUring Friday prayers, he advise us the girls to help the Muslim male doctors in covering them during the prayers. It is a win-win situation coz they have to cover female doctors during maternal leave. Have to agree with that!

3. It is also important for us students to be change our attitude and become adult learner. We all are given the freedom of choice in choosing how we want to learn and become the doctor who saves people. It is quite related to a forum done just a few days ago for our juniors during their orientation before entering clinical world.

Malaysian education system is so used to spoon-feeding in giving education since kindergaten and suddenly, during university they want us to be matured with self-directed learning. The adjustment have to be made and the mind set have to change into a better insight. We are already adults and given the freedom of choice on how to learn without being told. We have to be proactive in the sense of seeking knowledge.

We cannot wait the lecturers to give silver spoon-feeding or attach a ryles tube to channel the knowledge to us. Knowledge is at the tips of your finger. There are internet to be the source of knowledge if books is a burden for you. There are friends that we can form a group and study togather for better understanding.

4. Never talk or give information about something you are not sure. Rather say that you don't know rather than not sure about what you trying to convey. People tends to hold to what we say. For example when we give the possible diagnosis to a patient saying that the patient might has cancer but it can be possible an infection. The patient will prefer to hold to the better progosis one which is cancer as the diagnosis. We are humans. We do prefer the good things rather than the bad one. So, we might give them false hope(s)!

5. Our priority is as a STUDENT! Do not involve with things that can jeoparadise your study and future. Be a student who do his/her part as a student-study adequately and follow the flow. Adjustment to the situation is important!

Actually this is his comment on some issues faced by our medical students' society,PERSIAP(we are a NATURAL organization!!) being the blacksheep of the university family due to student's & university political issues..He gave his point of views base on his exprience as student leader during his time. From his concern of PERSIAP, I think he was probably one of PERSIAP committee...hehe

We have to seek knowledge, don't wait for it to come!

Tips in becoming surgeon...you have to have:

Eyes like an eagle,Heart like a lion, Hands like a lady,

Wasalam.
