Exams!!!

today's the election day of the Majlis Perwakilan Mahasiswa Universiti Malaya @ Malaya University Student Representative Council...

casted my vote this morning... it's kinda politicial... can't comment much here, and actually, i've not much knowledge on this :) hope that my bf can win the election to become one of the student representatives of his faculty...

Exam 1.2 is scheduled in mid-November... haven't prepared much... aiming high but not sure whether i can hit my target or not... anyway, it's 10% of the total score... some see it as little, but i think it's quite important 'cause if i can score high in minor exams, i won't have to worry much in the finals...

Oral Biology - easy to score, but i don't really like it...

Biochemistry - lots of memorisation needed... boring... hate it...

Anatomy - gross is fun for thorax but definitely not head & neck!

Physiology - love it the most!!! but it's the hardest to score high...

hmm... gotta be more hardworking... to distress? i'll listen to Maxim's music :) cheers~

Majlis Anugerah Kecemerlangan Pelajar Matrikulasi Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia 2006

it was held at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) on 16 September 2006.

on the night before the ceremony, all award recipients are required to attend the rehearsal at PICC... my parents came all the way from Johor to pick me from UM to Putrajaya on Fri evening... the traffic was very congested on Kesas Highway... luckily, i wasn't late... most of the award recipients spent the night at Pusat Latihan Bank Simpanan Nasional, a hostel in Kajang, near Putrajaya... reached there around 12.30am after the rehearsal! slept at around 1.30am, woke up at 5.15am, 'cause breakfast was scheduled at 6am... but eventually, the food was only ready by 6.30am... oh~ didn't have enough rest...

wore my newly made pink kebaya :) waited for the Deputy Education Minister for an hour outside the auditorium... was very tired 'cause i was in wearing high heels! there're 297 of us, chosen from 1000++ student who got CGPA4.0... 20000++ matric students in total... so we're 1% of all the 2005/2006 intake students :) we're selected based on our academic performances and co-curricular achievements... and we're nominated by our college lecturers respectively... met many familiar faces there... most of us are UM students...

all 297 award recipients received a certificate, a piuter plaque and an RM200 cheque. the best students for each subject and each stream were given another certificate, a trophy and an RM300 cheque. the best student received a certificate, a trophy and an RM1000 cheque...

exam's in mid-November... barely grasped anything in Sem1.1... gotta catch up with the rest before it's too late!

Back in uni...

nw at new Dental Fac computer lab... searching for online journals for my Oral Biology project... have to read 10-15 journals... the title -- "Honey and Oral Health"... anyone who's got reliable e-jounal websites, please send me the URL ok? thanks :) i'm using PubMed and ScienceDirect...

arrived at 6th after 7pm yesterday... traffic jam! oh, it's common here in Malaysia :-/

slept at around 1.30am last night... was preparing for my Anatomy SDL (student-directed learning)... woke up at 5.45am... didn't go to sleep again... was sneezing for hours! for unknown reasons! i'm really tired now...

UM won again!

UM team won the Asian Inter-Medical School Physiology Quiz 2006! this is the 4th time we emerged as the champion! congrats to the 2nd-year medical students who've represented UM! congrats, dear :) *wink*

Going back to uni tomorrow...

Tried using wireless connection this morning... hmm... found out that there's wireless signals in my area!

enjoy chatting to friends through MSN... especially those long lost friends...

today's the day when my bf and his teammates meet participants from other unis, some from other countries, for the quiz... too bad i can't be there to support them 'cause i'm only going back to uni tomorrow... anyway, good luck!

New Lappy!

dad bought me a laptop

Acer Aspire 5550 series...

on my request lah, for sure :P

okla, i'll treat it as my reward for getting the Anugerah Kecemerlangan Pelajar Matrikulasi 2006 (Outstanding Matriculation Student Award 2006)

my family will be coming to KL on next Friday to bring me to Putrajaya for the rehearsal on Friday night. the ceremony's on Saturday morning. this award is given to matriculation students from all matriculation colleges in Malaysia, who've excelled in their studies... my KMPh lecturers told me that the lecturers're the ones who nominated a few students, and the final decision of selection of students was done by the main panel of judges in Putrajaya... wow... what an honour! i didn't expect to get this award at all as i wasn't the students' representative in college... and i learnt that only 2 Chinese students from KMPh received the award last year... they're my friends, Jade and Mok, both UM medical students staying in 6th. for this year, there're more from KMPh... so to all my KMPh friends (session 2005/06) who've received the notification letter, please inform me via e-mail, sms, IM, or friendster so that we can meet up in Putrajaya :) see you there!

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...
