Study Hub

Posted in Friends, Medicine, Musings on March 30, 2009 by st3fani3

Presenting the Study Hub : AL, SY and Me

image

Currently occupying a room in the SL, with the atmosphere of “JIA YOU” ness, with each other company and trying to do revision and have a productive day!

It was my first day of revision, and it was so unproductive, and now i am currently behind schedule by a DAY!

Practiced clinical skills with my friends JJ, GL and PSY. We were going through the GI examination when suddenly there was a power shutdown.

Black OUT

We looked around, nothing seemed wrong and so we continued untill i received a phone call from AL “ Hey stef they are evacuating the building, it has been a black out “

I was like wah really. We then stopped, and then we heard a knock on the door and was told to evacuate.. :S

I had to go back to the study hub.. to collect my things. Told GL and the rest to go ahead without me. AL was still there packing up for me and SY. So i grabbed our  things, like a rush and went out of the building.

GL was so sweet she was waiting for me as i was not out of the building yet.. :) HUGS! JJ and PSY already went home :( lol.

There was a faint weird smell in the air

We rushed out of the building reached the WIL, and then SY called to ask if we got her laptop plug and i realised i left my thumb drive at the com.

So a wild dash back to the Medschool, which had 4 BOMBA trucks outside..

And we rushed to ask the guard if we could go in to collect something really important, luckily he  allowed us too.

Ran up the stairs all the way to the fifth floor :P and got our things.

“ Pants”

Apparently the whole area had a black out …

It looks like it was an interesting day, something happened and hopefully this thing will not happen again..

Studied in the WIL, the study hub had moved :P :P .

JIAYOU

I need to finish 9.1, 10.9 and notes for Clinical Skills!! and should stop thinking of other things* at the moment and i so need to go to the gym!

:(

Shadows

I wish i could let you know how i feel

Am in the hazy atmosphere of darkness

Looking for an outreached hand

Holding what really means to me right now

Knowing the truth about you and me

But it is fading away, gradually, slowly, steadily

with every beat of my aching heart.

Took a picture of Kelvingrove park on my way to church.

 

Today was a day of rest and relaxation :) hanging out with my bunch of friends, PSY, JJ, GL, CY and PG :P

We had lunch at PIZZA HUT .. and the issue of cherry tomatoes and potatoes came up! PSY now knows the difference :P ( Haha, am blogging about this! as i find it really amusing)

It was basically one of those round tables with cushions, that if one person needs to get out to go to the toilet for eg. everyone has to shift and move out to let the person pass. 29032009059 Breadsticks… :P

So the situation was like this, PSY was sitting at the far end and GL wanted salad..

So..

GL: PSY can you help me get some salad?

PSY: (Hesitant) Okay, what you want?

GL: Coleslaw and cherry tomatoes

(Note the phrase cherry tomatoes)

PSY gets up goes and get and come back with : Coleslaw and Cold potato salad!

GL: That is not cherry tomatoes.. its potatoes..

We all burst out laughing!

It was great spending time and then we decided to watch a movie

which was OMG, interesting.. but too 18SG!!! Argh.

I need to have better movie choices! Can’t wait to watch Harry Potter and Wolverine Origins though…

Then had dinner with JJ and PSY, the food was YUMMY and i plan to go again! It was almost like HOME..Malaysian FOOD

Will write more soon..

Easter is finally here :)

Its finally EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Time just passes so very fast!! and yeah, i should not panic just yet or maybe i should :S. So much work to cover and revise and it will be all tested in June 1 – 5th!

Am currently writing this while am on duty and listening to Kenny G.

Yay, no more coursework as well! :)

Picture from the Med School Building ( Guess where from). It was such a sunny day although the weather was windy and rainy in the morning. I am glad it was Sunny after i finished my PBL at 4.30pm!!!

Went to BXR to do some grocery shopping, actually not grocery shopping but snack shopping…. with AL :P who wanted to buy a bag of crisps

I have made a list on what i want to do during Easter Hols, which mainly consists of Revision! and practicing Clinical Skills and also have some leisure time, but not in excess i guess.

Organized my notes yesterday since it was a bit messy, arranged it into files.. ( sign of OCD). And am still hunting for my BLUE MECHANICAL PENCIL!! My room was finally vacuumed yesterday since there was no hoover about the past few weeks.. Clean Rooms are conducive for studying and satisfaction of cleaning as well! (another sign..)

Although it was the start of holidays yesterday, there seem to be not much of any going out plans?! Maybe due the lack of sleep and tiredness and what not. Was really tempted to go for the Year Night out.. but i am on duty the next day. Bumm.

There is PIZZA and GARLIC BREAD in my fridge…

Easter Holidays are always Study Holidays

Use Me, Use Not

Hallelujah – Alexandra Burke

Well it seems to be getting very busy before the Easter Holidays – coursework and mock OSCE after coursework hand in.

I am just nervous. But arent we all?

So far, what has been happening is the issue of “being nice just to use you” thats it. It is the concept of being taken for granted because you want something or want to get something from that someone?

How often do we even think about our friendships the essence of being just a friend not with the hidden motive of “using”?

When it comes to friendships, there is not “taking”, it is just being there, and basically its just like a relationship where one should not always give or vice versa should always take. It is being there for each other , in the worst case scenarios, when someone really needs help, and not assuming that “EF is nice, so i can always ask her to help me”

We should always not just assume really. We should just appreciate that we have friends who care and are always there. I am not complaining, i think its a fact and that we should sometimes think about it.

I treasure my friends alot, especially those who i was with before in relationships and those who i have hurt in the past. I mean, if I was given a wish, the one wish which i would make is return to the past and correct the wrongs and prevent myself from hurting those who i have hurt emotionally.

I think i am still in the 90% mark of getting over it and forgiving myself and others. God has been great in helping me with this.

Food for thought.

About relationships, and crushes and that, sometimes emotions can cloud your mind and you don’t think straight. It is always good to think twice and the more the better to see what you actually feel for real. Your mind can change, and now i am more cautious in what i am falling in to. I will be patient and just wait. Because i know who loves me! God’s love is the greatest thing in the world, he loves you and me.

I just realized it is 1.20 am, i am  just having a break from doing work, as the real work begins tomorrow.

its time to sleep.. Zzz.

Wasted Time = Productivity

Today, for the first time in a long time i had a free day, well basically the frs this morning was cancelled due to some technical problem with the software! I could have slept in, but anyway i was in the SL the whole day, rotting haha. Went to gym for a while and then headed back to finish up some PBL and go over the software for liver metabolism which was fixed in the mid afternoon.

Then practiced clinical skills with my friends. It was fun, i acted as a patient who was sick, with vomitting and after meals etc, had pain in abdominal area, was a student working partime in a bar.. ( LOL, was completely – acting) then said had a boyfriend LOL who i was living with haha.., which led to GL asking alot more questions and diverting ahha. Which was rather amusing. :P Oh well that was something interesting :) but it is so not applicable to me :P and i mentioned i smoke 10 cigs a day and drank 2 pints every friday night.

On duty today as an ASR, a bit nervous, so good so far, it seems quiet… Cross fingers.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day again….

And i should really stop snacking on extremely chocolatey mini bites….!! and pringles.. which i finished in a DAY!

And i have yet to tidy my room… and organize it….

My heart was blown away..

Today was an amazingly (unfortunately) windy day, was on my way to badminton today about 8ish ( i was typically rushing without having any breakfast, making my way to the gym). I am still getting used to the roads and places around the area and i got lost two days ago when i was rushing back for a meeting.

On my way, i got a text that my friends  could not make it as they were too tired and forgot about it. LOL. I wish i slept longer too!

Anyhow, went back home, decided to cook for the week, which was basically chicken and veggies. Finished about 11.30 am, and then went to the SL, dumped my books and bags and got books for doing PBL, then headed to BXR road to buy toilet cleaning stuff and hunting for a dustbin!

My room does not have a dustbin.. i am still using one of the boxes as a dustbin LOL.

I went into SXF, got some cleaning stuff and then went into the charity shops and found this nice big wheeler grocery bag for groceries :P i got it, saves the aching and muscle pains of carrying heavy bags of shopping back to my place.

Was still hunting to buy a dustbin!!

On my way back to the SL, i was walking along BO and the medschool, this junction is horribly WINDY and well, the wind can blow you off your feet! and you can fly!

There was this group of people walking, i think there was a formal ceremony of some sort with people wearing kilts and dresses. and then the wind blew, one of the ladies scarf flew  right across the road and the guy next to her ran across the street to get it for her… the first thing which came to my mind was from Phantom of the Opera..

RAOUL
Christine Daae, where is your scarf?
CHRISTINE
Monsieur?
RAOUL
You can’t have lost it. After all the trouble I took.
I was just fourteen and soaked to the skin . . .
CHRISTINE
Because you had run into the sea to fetch my scarf.
Oh, Raoul. So it is you!

LOL, anyway that was my daydreaming on the way back to the SL. And then did PBL and i still havent finished it yet.. so GERAM!

Anyway here are the pictures of my new room :P although i do apologize its still in the process of being tidied ( which i would be able to do it only after next next week) :(

I am kinda excited, after a very long week of contemplation, thinking and praying i have made my decision to move out of where i am now to a new place.. to be a ASR.

I am just glad i can make a decision once, without any haste, thinking it through.

The problem, is packing and shifting things..
