Love yourself . Take care of yourself . Spiritually. Emotionally. Physically. Mentally.

It not easy . From the class , I realize , though i found surgery interesting and had special interest in it in the past , i failed to really know it well . There were so many things that i could not answer . Need to triple my efforts and study wisely .

Our professional examination , EOS 7 , will be in 5 weeks . I should have about 25% . All i need is another 25 % at least . The 3 components : OSCE , OSPE and SAQ ( 30% , 10% , 20% ) .

I would need to emphasise and score in OSCE . That is 8 long cases ( each 10 minutes ) and 8 short cases ( each 5 minutes ) . That’s not many questions. Roughly 1 each posting .

In obstetric now , with so many things pending to be completed . Tonight will be another night without sleep . Got to read about anemia in pregnancy and ethics .

The stress has started to build up . Feel very anxious and worried most of the time . But , that’s not going to help in any way . There are times when i just feel i am going to break  , like i’m going to explode , like i really need to stop and have a long holiday .

I know its going to be ok . But i want to come out from exam hall on the 14th of February , feeling confident that I’ve definitely passed .

So , No ! I cannot stop right now! I can definitely achieve that .

Lets’ do this !!

Dim Sum breakfast with the younger sister before she goes off to study.

I wonder what my parents would do at home now. With my sister going to HELP college , the house is left with em parents , Chiobu (our dog) , and Ana (our new helper).

Hmm. Bond with Ana perhaps ?

Muahahaha!!!! All my online purchases have arrived!

I’ve waited so long to finally see them!

Time to donate some clothes away.

Lesson that I learnt : Never buy white colour clothes online. They are white on screen but beige in front of your eyes .

Discovered this really useful extension for google chrome that blocks all the websites that distract me from my work.

The programmers are geniuses!

This song was released in year 1999 . That was 12 years ago . I was in Standard 5 . The blur-est , most quiet kid in the class .

After 12 years , I believe , I still am that kid .

I remember that year vividly .

I was the top of my class when i was in Standard 1 . But , that only continued till the end of that year when i was in standard 1 . Some kid from KL replaced me . >,<  Since then , I was ,most of the time, in the 20th to 30th position in my class of 40 plus . And it was that year , when i was in Standard 5 , that i decided to complete my homework everyday and study whatever my teacher taught me in class when i came back from school . When my end of the year exam results were out , my teacher was surprised . Heck , even my parents were surprised ( actually, it was more of a shock ) that i improved from my 23rd position to 7th in class . I remember my teacher praised me for the shocking improvements i achieved in my studies . The turtle has finally came out from her shell to face the world .

From then on , i was encouraged and motivated to learn . =D

I can’t remember much of my primary school years . All i knew was that I was very quiet . My teachers would say that i didn’t want to talk because i had gold in my mouth . I bet they wondered if i should  have been placed in a Special Needs school =) One of my neighbour , who was also my secondary school mate , use to tell everyone how quiet and shy i was in primary school . He always told the others that whenever he came over to play Sega with my brothers , I would miraculously disappear . Actually , that’s really what happened . When guests came to the house , i would run upstairs .

I guess i was really shy and insecure back then .

Despite being that quiet , i still had a few  friends . Tan Jia Yi . She was my best friend . I remember Jia Yi and I played basket ball during the PJ class one day . We were in the same team .  I was near the hoop , so she passed the ball to me . I don’t know how but I accidentally sprained my index finger when i received the ball . And i could not throw the ball properly into the hoop due to the pain . I remember my PJ teacher giving me an expression indicating something like “how could you have missed that ” …  My index finger was swollen for 2 days after that  . And that was the last time i played basketball . Hence , i never grew any taller after that . >,<

After 12 year , i still am who i was . Maybe with slight changes here and there . But i still feel that i am that quiet , insecure , low self-esteemed kid when i was in primary school . I try very hard to change . But i guess it will always be part of me .

Its not that being quiet and insecure is wrong . But , you know , i think its only right to speak our minds and build relationships with the people around us .

This song is very special to me . 12 years . In these 12 years , i had listened to it more than any other songs . Not throughout the whole year . But  many times in a year .

This year’s annual affair with the song came in December , the most wonderful time of the year  =) I love this song ! Makes my December the more special .

Going caroling now ! =)

Merry Christmas !

My afternoon spent drawing signatures. =) SRC Treasury duty calls.

This is the list of what i need to know before I sleep tonight.

It’s 11 pm.

I don’t feel like reading at all. The eye lids are heavy.

This time. It’s like a gamble. Everything not very sure. Going to just rely on the knowledge I gain from the wards.*gulp*

Ok. Gotta start now.

Cheers !

Results are out!!!

I finally know the outcome of my doubts. I’ve been waiting for this for 4 weeks already.

Results weren’t too bad. Didn’t meet my expectations though. I wonder which questions I did wrong for the orthopedics theory paper.

Clinical examination was OK . .  Enough to reward myself a brownie and a tuna bun =) Kedai Kek & roti imbi sells the most delicious buns in town . LOVE at first bite !

Having clinical exams for pediatrics on Wednesday ! No expectations this time. Just want to get over it. Despite the fact that i’ve been having a lot of fun in Pediatrics posting , I still can’t find a connection to it . I don’t really know how to examine a child’s abdomen properly . I would really love to go through Pediatrics again . My problem now – i don’t know how to present my case .My timeline is always wrong . My lecturers never have an idea about the crap i’m talking about when i am presenting .

Hmmm.. I’m going to have a major problem on Wednesday .

Alright now . All the best in exams peeps.
