Cambridge Trip

June 20, 2008

Thursday, Before Leaving Glasgow

I met up with GL, PR, GG for lunch and we went to the Bothy Restaurant near Byres Road, and i passed GL a luggage bag for her to help me keep over the summer after that i went home to continue packing and do some last minute watching of Scrubs :) and slept for awhile.

and then after locking my luggage bag and packing my laptop

At on;ly 8.45 pm, I realised i misplaced a key which i (stupidly) put into the bag i gave GL ( which contained a bunch of unused locks and keys), so then i panicked, asked AL for help ( THANKS SO MUCH) as well as GL :)

The Amazing race to Byres Road, Bus no. 18 was delayed for the ride back and forth and i had to be at the station by 10.30 pm! Gosh, so with the help of AL, who met me infront of tesco with my luggage bags and GL, i made it on time for the bus to cambridge.

AL was very sweet and helpful to accompany me all the way there to the bus station without her i would not know what to do.

Conclusion: Stefanie = Stupid.

Thursday, Friday Long Bus Ride

Cambridge 002

It was a really extremely long bus ride down to cambridge, about 10 hours in total, 4 hours of sleep. And very tiring although it was just sitting all the way. I did listen to my ipod, drank water and used the eye - mask thingy to block out light and the airplane cushion :) It was dark so, no reading, nothing much to do on the bus ride, except sleep. Arrived in London for 2 hours, and i think personally it is better to travel in a pair, as in, why are toilets one flight of stairs down ( as i have 2 suitcases) so to make sure i have all my luggage and all, i had to lug my luggage bags down to the toilet ( Buffed up) and back up the stairs again.

Friday: Arrival at Cambridge

Arrived about 10.30 am, was completely exhausted and needed the toilet ( toilets in a bus is rather… unhygienic and disgusting really), my bro was already waiting for me then we went to his place :) Made lunch which was curry chicken and some veg from sainsbury’s (which was really really nearby), after that had a nap and then went for ballroom dancing practice for the May Ball

And for a very long time, i slept extremely early ( bro pressured me to) from 9 pm to 9.40 am the next day.

Saturday: Malaysian Society Garden Party

had breakfast. which was a sandwich and bought some yoghurt.

After breakfast, did some laundry and helped bro by following him around, took some pictures of the area :)

We then arrived at the party, it had, quite alot of food ( Chicken curry, acar, satay, drumsticks, strawberries and chocolate fountain, marshmallows, drinks)

Food:  rice and curry chicken with acar, satay, chocolate fountain with strawberries and bananas, burger patties, etc.

Came back to bro’s room, watched a few episodes of house, after that watched Indiana Jones and went to meet bros friends to play silly games* ( Mafia the whole night long)

Sun 15 Jun

Bro’s Excerpt ( email to mum)
Go to church in the morning, then lunch in Hall followed by punting in the afternoon (with snacks and juices from Sainsbury’s). Then went to dinner at a friend’s place (the same one who wanted to cook Malaysian a few weeks ago) and made dumplings, lettuce, Estonian meat cake (!), had more strawberries/melons/pineapple with ice cream, came back, went to another friend’s room and played silly games. Then watched Hairspray (again on Stefie’s computer). Slept at 3 am.

Punting : it was difficult LOL :) and using a long pole!

Memoirs of a First Year Med

June 3, 2008

Listening to my music collection on ITunes now, after a very very looong time, and its the last time of yoghurt and apple for lunch!

Exams are over, 1/5 of becoming a doctor, the journey is 1/5 completed.

I would like to thank:

My Family, CK, AL and my friends all out there GL, JJ :) and my fellow medics ( who are currently in PJ Champs) ahah

It started off with orientation in september, the new concept of learning based on Problem Based Learning, seemed interesting compared to boring old lectures. But, there was sometimes some dispute on how much are we suppose to know? The limits of taking down what is important and what is not and meeting all the objectives after 10 PBLS.

There were Labs, Fixed Resource Sessions and Plenaries (Lectures) and not to mention Vocational Studies

Block 1 to Block 6 = approximately 50 PBLS in total.

Block 1 - My Rating : 7/10

It was based on systems, emphasizing and recalling facts that we had learnt in A levels, Biology seemed so important ( Wonder why i took Physics in A Levels LOL), started with the very basic of all which is cells and skin, from skin it when to blood pressure and so forth into other (many) physiological processes and to transplantation. So fast LAH! And so much to remember as well!

Coursework: based on H.O.S, i did not do that well for this block’s coursework, was getting into the adjustment of things i suppose

Block 2 - 9/10

I really loved this block, First experience of dissection of a cadaver, smelly formaldehyde which made you really hungry and disgusted with anything which looked like subcutaneous fat! Trust me, its disgusting. But bearable.

Coursework: Osteoporosis, gladly i did better in this coursework :) A :)

MILE: Gosh, i got a “good” Mark but it was okay.

Block 3 - 7/10

Began to do following PBLs in advanced, so there will be more time for revision ( it did help!)

It was kind of a distraught month at first since the end of december last year, everything just fell apart for a few weeks, but i managed to pull my self through

It was mainly on public health, made me sign groan and wonder why why must we learnt epidemiology, but the last few pbls were interesting and more scientific based :) Asthma and Lung Cancer

Coursework : A too :)

Block 4 : 7/10

Coronary Heart Disease, Reproduction, etc which was really interesting and alot of factual information.

Coursework: B ( The feedback mark sheet i got back was 2 pages long >.&lt ;)

The most thing i enjoyed was the community diagnosis project, where i had to work with my VS group to do a presentation and a community diagnosis of Moodiesburn :) Was in charge of the presentation :) we did well as a team too!

IMG_0418

Block 5: 6/10

Alot of processes of BIOCHEMISTRY. GROAN! but it was good once i understand the concepts and pathways and not to mention enzymes as well. Diabetes Diabetes Diabetes

Block 6

The shortest block of all, Malaria, Pneumonia, Hypersenstivity Type 1 , Polio etc

It was more like doctor - knowledge PBLS :)

The Exam

2 Papers, 2 hours Each, total 200 marks!

and Stages of Sexual Response. SWEAT!

Great :) ITS ALL OVER NOW :)

March 19, 2008

Today was an interesting day, woke up as usual and went to uni - SL, pick up the daily metro on the bus and read about the local news. Reached uni, and went to the SL and worked on PBL 1.6, immunity………………………………AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and Malaria Moskisstoo :) Mosquito.

Phone buzzzed :

” Hi Stefanie! where are you” HK

“M on my way there, fancy a cup of tea, Its my day off today, so i feel like celebrating”

I went to meet HK at Iceland and then we walked down byres road, and went to look for food and drink. Baguette express and Stefanie ate a Panini, It was good but it seemed torturous to see the bread being squashed by the big pans lol. PANINI

Starbucks-logo

then we headed to starbux, the place of COFFEEEEEEEEEEEE and my lovely Java Chip. It was ages since i been to a starbux, first time here in Glasgow UK. Hana bought a Cinamon Ice blended it was so good :) and we got frost teeth bite. Funny though, the cream was sweet i prefer non sweetened cream.
