ASSIGNMENTS!

OMG! hari-hari dapat assignment baru and most of them involve reading science papers! *weakness* and of course, after reading them, have to present them! 

uh, emmm.. Assalamualaikum ;)


sorry, was so preoccupied complaining sampai lupa nak bagi salam :P .


Alkisahnya, once upon a time, not long ago, a week ago, we were in our fourth week of the sixth semester, and all works began piling. I know, I can't complain much, that it is part of the learning process, this would somehow prepared us for the 'real world' yadda3...but I'm just worried some of the works would not be delivered handsomely to the lecturers and thus there goes my marks. Then it would affect my result since most works have carry-on marks :/  


But anyway, despite all the heap of works, I somehow managed to steal 'some' time to do something that one would say time-wasting. And it is actually time wasting but I like it. Know why? Because I made new acquaintances. Though the 'friendship' did not last long, but I actually get to know people, their places, culture and indirectly their personality. Here are some of the people I met: 

- a social medical worker, doing his PhD in Psychology, (USA)
- a graduated-from-high-school student and a vlogger, currently writing a novel, (Australia)
- a final year student of mechanical engineering, will present his paper in Paris, (London,UK)
- a manager of a retail shop (been working since 15yo), travelled to Spain, France, Ireland and around UK, is eager to come to Malaysia to eat durian :P (Yorkshire, UK)
- a first year student in Philosophy, just want to learn and improve his English (Indonesia)  

I actually had fun conversing with them. They are fun people who are just bored when I met them. But of course, in the course of searching for a 'good' friend, there are also the bad ones that I had to encounter. The bad ones are always with the messed up mind but no matter, I can stop the conversation right away, without even considering anything. And,oh, did I tell you yet, I met these people through a chat site? But you might have guessed it already by now. I know, there used to be lots of bad comments bout these kind of sites. But hey, for me it is how we make use of it, right? Whether we want to use it wisely and smartly or we want to make a fool out of ourselves. :P 


Well, that's all for now I guess. It's almost 1 AM, should go to bed now. 
See ya don't wanna be ya!

P/S: Count your blessings, not your problems.

P/S/P/S: I will try to write once a week because I want to familiarise myself in writing, you know, for academic purposes *cough cough* night peeps!

A sudden urge to Write

2nd March 2014, 11.51pm

WHOA! it has been almost 3 years now since the post upthere. I just want to say, after all these years of studying and failing and studying and failing, I actually feel better about my course, Science Biomedicine! *insert fireworks* Now I'm a third year student and I feel determined. Determined of what? You'd ask. I don't know. It's just that, I get a different perspective of my course. Sure, we're not as fancy as doctors, 'cause we're the behind-the-scene guys (or girls). But what we do is equally important as the doctors. We are actually a part of a bigger team and we can't do our job properly if one of us flunk it. After all, we're in the human business. Sick people come to the hospital - the doctor take samples -  send to the lab - we examined it - back to the doctor and he diagnosed it. Not all doctors can remember what they memorized from their textbooks. It's not like sick people - doctor - diagnosed (tho it is true in not so serious cases). The doctors need our help to help him to help you (i.e the patients). 


I had always been afraid if what I do now is not right for me, it is not meant for me. But from what I've learnt, the knowledge seems to never cease to stun me. But of course the knowledge comes with a price. I've been stressed out, cried out loud, and felt doubtful of myself. It got worse when my results were like feces. But like what Good Girl  Miley Cyrus once said, 'gotta keep my head held high' there's always gonna be another mountain And I did, despite of what I felt on the inside ( a failure). And Alhamdulillah, the fifth semester had been a good semester for me and I hope it would last until forever. 


Personally, I think from Biomedical course, we can do so many things! Not particularly work in the lab all day, all year long. We can be in a research team, trying very hard to cure diseases, finding new ways of solving problems. We can be in biotech team, working on new technologies. Heck, we can even be doctors too! 


-12.30 AM, and I really must go to bed, because you know, tomorrow (or today?) is Monday-


Last but not least, few words for myself and other students who are also been struggling and in a pithole,


Just close your eyes and push right through,

I know it's tough right now,
This was meant for you,
When the clouds are gone,
Not a storm insight,
You'll be drenched in the sun,
With open eyes...
                                                      -DR-

P/S: Different perspective, try it!
