Hols going to end soon...

going back to uni on Sun afternoon with Wei Ming and Xin Jie by Transnational express bus... have been busy and lazy recently... :P too much to blog about... hmm... wonder who are the ones who really read my blog...actually, i treat blogging as the most convenient way to keep updated on friends' information... i'll read my friends' blogs whenever i've extra time to do so... it's such a waste for me to blog but at the end, no one really read them...

of Buddies...

went 'shopping' with Pooi Kuan in the evening immediately after the announcement of buddies... actually we went to PJ SS2 to buy a cloth and other materials for the convo banner... spend another RM20+ on buying medicine... sigh~

had dinner with buddies and my graduated buddy - Pei Hong at Mid Valley' Manhattan's Fish Market (can't really remember the correct name, sorry for that ^.^!!) the food's really delicious... do try out!

Pooi Kuan's really nice to purposely come to 6th (i'm staying at UM's 6th residential college) to help me in doing the convo banner for Pei Hong... i remember that she'd stomachache that morining... thanks, buddy :)

our banner turned out to be the nicest :) but longest... had to ask Meng Yit and others to help me before my buddies come after their class... thanks a lot :)

it's so touching to see seniors graduating... wonder when'll be my turn... June in 2012? only if i passed all my professional exams... wish me luck!

Pooi Kuan passed me all the buddy stuffs in "hard and soft copies" :) she's really a hardworking and intelligent lady... hmm... find it hard to get back all my momentums when i was in KMPh...

of Studies...

have been relaxing for half a semester as there's no test / exam in Sem 1.1.... gonna strive hard from now onwards!

almost every week, we've to study the cadavers and organs in the dissection hall during our Anatomy lessons... luckily the cadavers are 'dry corpse', meaning we're not looking at fresh ones, which will be very frightening!

so many things to study and master! and we've not much time! seniors told us that we've to think differently from those doing other courses... 'cause our timetables are packed from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm! we are taking more subjects than medical students... we've an extra subject - Oral Biology, besides another 3 subjects which are the same as theirs - Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology... apart from that, all 1st-years are required to take 2 compulsory university subjects - TITAS (Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia Tenggara @ Islamic and South East Asian Studies) and Kemahiran Maklumat @ Information Skills...

fortunately, i've been trained in KMPh to be independent, and i'm used to hostel life... but i still prefer the hostel at KMPh than 6th 'cause KMPh's new! but the study environment here is better as it's the Clinical Students' Hostel... 90% of the inmates are medical and dental students... so everyone's equally busy...

Sem 1.1 going to end soon!!!

my Sem 1.1 is going to end soon but it seems that i've not really mastered a single topic! that's so sad! maybe it's due to the time constrain brought about by the orientation- all of us got burned out last month... but it's really fun tho... hmm... nothing to blog about... well, sorry for the craps :P have been very busy since i started uni... now i've to join many activities in my residential college in order to get merits to get a place in the college next year... huhu... i don't want to stay outside of the campus 'cause i've got no money! well, will see you guys during my semester break! 2-10 Sept

Busy with studies...

orientation's over! i'm very lucky and glad to get into Szu Hui-Joan & Chun Meng-Daniel & Kee Chung-Pooi Kuan's buddyline!!! they are all very friendly and helpful and crazy and funny and caring, etc. :P orientation's fun and we'll always have a good laugh thinking about it now after it's ended :)

now all of us are busy catching up... wow... we're really busy and we've this Senior, Junior and Staff Nite tonight! we've been practising for the past 2 weeks and had our rehearsal last night... hope that everything goes smooth tonight... i'm taking part in dikir barat...
my mid-semester holidays: 2-10 Sept. i'll be going home on 1st of Sept... see you guys then :)

Orientation!!!

have been ill since the 3rd day in UM... gastric problem again... luckily the PM's (pembantu mahasiswa @ students' helpers - direct translation :P) of my residential college have been very friendly and helpful... they really took great care of us... PM's, thanks a lot :)
took part in English sketch... i was the narrator + doctor... actually i was having fever that evening... unfortunately, our group didn't win although we performed very well... it was a comedy...
now still coughing... sigh... UM is infamous of its informal orientation, especially for the medical and dental faculties... i'm still alive :-/ don't worry...
dental students have the busiest life as we're taking more subjects than medical students... our timetables are so packed that we've lessons from 8am to 5pm from Monday to Thursday, with an hour's lunch break at 1pm.. 1st-year medical students seldom have lessons in the afternoon and they are free after 12pm on Friday... we dental students even have lessons on Friday afternoons! :( we 1st-yr dental students are taking 4 core subjects: Physiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Oral Biology, whereas the 1st-yr medical students are taking only the first 3 core subjects... yeah, both dental and medical students are studying almost the same things in our pre-clinical years...
dental life's very hectic and busy and we seldom have time for ourselves when we're in our clinical years... wonder whether i can take it or not, as this is not my 1st choice after all (read my previous postings for more details)... i hope i won't regret taking this course but persevere till i get my BDS degree.. i'm going to be called "Dr. Soh" after 5 years! yeah! ...well, wait till i've passed all my exams first lah...
all right, till then :)
