Tick Tick Tick

Did you hear that? That's the sound of the seconds passing by. Every second passed brings me much closer to 18th May 2009 - EOS5. Only 24 days to go.

After the CNS/MSK summative assessment next Thursday, I will be starting my final revision before EOS. This will be the last preparation before I face the big question. Am I worthy of entering Phase 2?

I will have 16 days. 1 day per system for CVS, Respi, GIT and Hemato. 2 days each for Repro, Renal, Endo, MSK and CNS. That leave another 2 days for OSCE which I can also use if I fail to complete my revision in the expected time. This is going to be a race against a bullet train.
Each note shall sound very much like this.

"next!"

IMU Ball Ideas

I had a crazy random idea today. For the upcoming IMU Ball, I am going to wear a white shirt, a black suit and a red tie. Quite normal rite? Wait, that's not all. To make things more interesting I will wear a pair of leather gloves, shave my head bald and tattoo a bar code on the occipital (back) region of my head. The "Hitman" look. hahahaha

I think its a really cool idea. If it didn require me to shave my head, I would definitely be doing that. Guess I'll just be myself then. =p Anyone wanna adopt my idea? hehe

Here's some pictures for reference. I know you wanna do it. ;)

Matching Results

The results for PMS Matching for M107 was out today. The tension could be felt from early morning itself. Im sure anyone would feel the pressure. The thought of not knowing what lies in your future, or in this case where you will be headed to can really do "wonders" to a person.

At 5pm, the gruesome wait finally ended. Results was released. As usual, we "Seremban People" who have only one choice which is to go to Seremban was there to support, share the excitement and mostly busybody. haha

Just as the batches before us, some were delighted to get their 1st choice and some were happy to get their top few choices. Inevitably, some were unfortunately sad as they didn't get their university of choice. of course, there were those who got their 1st choice but were still sad because they will be separating from their other half.

I guess that's just how life is. Not everyone will get what they want. We need to make full use of what we have. Moreover, you will never know what is the best choice after all. Your 2nd or 3rd choice might actually be the best choice for you. We can only plan, its the Big Boss up there who decides. Only he will know what's the best choice for us.

To all my friends of M107, regardless of where you will be for the next few years, I wish you all the best. Remember our days at IMU and may we keep each other dear at heart. =)

Earth Hour 2009

To those who have not heard about Earth Hour, where have you been? It has been on the Internet, on television and radio for weeks.

Earth Hour as we all know, is when a city/nation/world switches their lights for 1 hour. It is a way for us to show that we are concerned about global warming.

Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and business switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 Earth Hour went global with 50 million people switching off their lights. Many cities participated. Iconic landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's Colosseum and Sydney's Opera House switched off their lights and stood in the darkness for one hour.

This year a target of 1 billion people has been set. It is expected that Earth Hour 2009 will be much global than the previous 2 years. Earth Hour has transformed into a worldwide global elections. Earth vs Global Warming. Election rules are simple. Switch off your lights if you vote for Earth, leave them on if you vote for Global Warming. Not a tough choice if you ask me. I vote Earth. =)

I found out that over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday. What will you be doing this Saturday?

There is a whole list of things you could do in the dark. Admire the night sky, look for stars normally hidden by artificial lights, share ghost stories, camp out in the dark, enjoy darkness not caused by a TNB blackout, go somewhere high and watch your city vote Earth, organise a pro-Earth party with your friends and the list goes on. Seriously, when was the last time you looked up at a dark starry night and enjoyed the beautiful star lit sky? 5 years? 10 years? Too long to remember? In our hectic lives today, we fail to enjoy the beauty that is around us. Take this opportunity to enjoy what we have taken for granted. Feast your soul on the beauty that we have for so long masked with our man-made "light".

I will be going up to Gasing Hill with my family to watch PJ go "black". haha Hopefully there will be enough people voting Earth to see the effect. Even if there isn't. it will still be a good opportunity to spend some time with my family. =)

So do the right thing. This Saturday, shut off your light and join in a worldwide call for the preservation of our mother planet. Earth Hour 2009 in Malaysia will be from 8.30-9.30 pm on Satyrday 28th March 2009. Vote Earth. Want to know more? Just search Earth Hour 2009. It's all over the Internet.

Nervous System - The Final Conquest

The title's lame. I know. haha =p

It has been 4 days since we started Nervous System. This will be our last system before we go into Phase 2. Do i feel competent enough? Not at all. =(

Anyway, I guess it was appropriate to put Nervous System as the final system. Seriously, if this was our 1st system instead, I believe many won't make it to 3rd year. I know I would have been dropped out for sure.

Its only the 1st week into the system, but I tell you. Its way much more intense than anything we have had before. Never have I ever walked out of 8 consecutive lectures blur and totally zoned out. Gosh. I know my brain's higher function has not been very functional lately, but this is way too much for me to handle. If this is the way the rest of the system is gonna be, I am starting to have a bad feeling. I even heard that it gets worse later on. Oh please save me!! =s

On the brighter side, I finally finished my Com Health Survey report. Almost finish actually. Just need to print it out in uni tmr and proof read it. hehe I sacrificed 3 days of study time and piled up 8 CNS lecture notes just to complete it. They had better give me my 4% =)
