Ranting
Sometimes I wonder. My dad managed to put me through medical school. Will I be able to afford my children through medical school as well? With the influx of doctors and a finite opportunities, it will only get harder to make a living.
Comments and upkeeping
I just saw read a comment left here more than a year ago. hahaha I think I need to check on this page much more often. hahaha
It's unfortunate that I made this blog with the intentions of logging down my experiences in medical school but have placed so little in it. I guess I have failed to live up to the objectives and title of it. Maybe I could still resuscitate it during my last 6 months as a medical student. Unlikely, very optimistic but no harm trying.

Final Days at Seremban Clinical School
Tonight will be my last night in Seremban. It's amazing how the last 2 years has passed by so quickly. I still remember not long ago, when it was time to leave the Bukit Jalil campus and venture to a whole new campus and experience. Two years have quickly passed since then and today, we are preparing to move yet again to another campus.
Two years seemed like a long time. It seemed like many months in a small town with no entertainment and none of the comforts of KL. Looking back today, I guess we had a rather good time here didn't we. We have made many new friendships, strengthen existing ones and unfortunately lost some as well. We learned a lot both about life and about medicine. We grew up and we matured. We had our share of ups and downs. We probably played a little too much and studied a little too little ( or vice versa). Nevertheless, two years can bring big changes to a persons life. I wonder how much will change in the next two years of my life.
Tomorrow we will sit for OSCE. It is the final exam in Seremban Clinical School which is also the final paper of our Final Professional Examinations Part 1. May we all ace through tomorrows exam and move on to Batu Pahat together. My dear batch mates of C2/09. I'll be seeing you in Semester 10.
Batu Pahat, here we come!!

1st Failure in Clinical School
I have just received my 1st failure in Clinical School. Or should I say my 1st and 2nd failure.. sigh.
Results of our last MCQ paper was released today. I collected it and i found out that I failed both my Obstetrics and Pediatrics MCQ paper. How was this possible? I was really sure I passed my Obstetrics and I was sure I would probably pass my Pediatrics. Even if i didn pass my pediatrics, I didn expect myself to do so badly. i got a C- for Obstetrics and a D+ for Pediatrics. (Passing mark is a C)
Sigh. This is sad. I think its because of the True-False section. It always pulls down our marks and causes us to do badly. the good news is, True-False questions will be completely replaced with One Best Answer next semester. I hope this change would include us in Semester 8 and not just the juniors in Semester 6. I really really really hope so. And I speak for most of my batch mates too. Get rid of true false questions please.

Obstetrics
Obstetric posting started out highly stressed, (augmented even more by EOS stress) highly intense and alot of pissed off moments. Nevertheless, I can confidently say that Obstetrics is one of the best and my best loved clinical posting so far. =)
A friend asked me why I like Obs. Honestly speaking, I don't know. Its just something that attracts me. Something that catched my interest. It's something that I know I should be doing. Like a calling. The same reason I'm in med school. hahaha
Perhaps this will be what I will be doing in the future after all. As MZ said, I am going to "marry" all the woman in the Obstetric Ward. hahaha
MRCOG. Keeping my fingers crossed. May this work out well.

Idiotic Days
There are days that can really make you feel like a complete brainless, idiotic retarded idiot. That would be the day you feel small and useless. You will feel like giving up. It feels like there's no hope and no point. At times you are belittled by yr own actions. But most of the time its what others do. I'm definitely having one of this moment right now.
But i cannot give up. I'm tougher than this. I'm better than this. Yet I wonder. How? How do I pull through this? I really feel like dropping everything and just give up. But I cannot do so. I cannot give up now. If I give up now, I will be screwed forever. So how does one survive? I'm about to explode. Or breakdown. Or throw a kid out the window (hypothetically not literally). I wish I knew the answer................
Do I try to read the 3000 word book, fail to complete it and fail or should I stick to my thinner books and also fail? Either way, I don't see the difference. The end result is a failure. I am so gonna fail my Paediatric Posting. Clinical and Theory. Damn.
