MASUM 2010

Holidays had just officially started. 5 of us from our campus geared off to NlLAI for the year's futsal competition. Personally, i was looking ahead towards an enjoyable vacation-fully paid by the uni... eat and play and eat again!

(this was our waiting site before the bus slowly rolled in)

(team for this year-13 of us including the manager)

From day 1 training till Finals, there were countless incidents that happened. Lots of it were actually unexpected. Sometimes, this petty steps are the ones that teach us the most, enlighten us how much life has to offer, and also how important it is to nurture maturity in decision-making.

Herm, i guess it is nearly impossible to put all thoughts and feelings in one post. Humans are far more complicated than the greatest machine created on earth. We are in constant change everyday... nope not mutation.. just slight changes. haha

I've experienced something new in this competition. An element that i found nowhere but here. No doubt this experience had made me nearly broke down at one time. Now that i have grew immunity towards it, i believe it will never be a problem next time.

Emotions can be friend or foe in different moments. very true. At times, you hope so much to conceal a secret, but your emotions let you down in his way. On a lucky bright morning, your emotions can turn you from a plain charcoal into a diamond of all admirers. One just need that little knowledge of chemistry-synergist in other term.

Oh yeah, i had met great friends...though all older that me. But we do get along very well. The feeling of mixing with seniors from main campus with my own is so so SO different! They are super friendly. haha.. i will miss them so so much after this every time i touch the futsal ball! Our laughters roared louder than the bus engine. Our crazy jokes are much better medicine to sorrow. What else... many more...

Let's put aside all sadness and unhappiness... life is a brief candle... let it burn with dignity, bright and powerful!....

sports injury

Sports injury simply means one is adding excessive stress on his body.

We must beware that this doesn't only applies to professional athletes but even a normal individual can sustain such injury to a great extend if left untreated!

Over the years, i've indulge myself in various kind of sports. No doubt fun comes along with pain sometimes. Different sports pose their own risk of injury, no matter how careful we are. There are times where improvement comes side by side with slight injury. For example, in order to improve in our fitness and stamina, we need to go beyond our own limits, challenging ourselves to a higher level. This is what we call as ''level-UP'.. hahax

As a medical student, i really wished to learn more about treatments towards sports injury besides focusing on serious issues in the medical field. I believe the sports world has more to offer and more room to discover beyond all the fun and excitements that it promises.

Sport RULES

1st year M

It's been a long long time since i last blog. (remembered vividly that the previous blog was dated back to post selanjar 3 exam)

To sum it all up, i can only say that 1 year passes so quickly. it's hard to keep up with the speedy time frame, probably this is the One that motivates us to improve and move on in life. Yeah, my 1styear in medical school is about to reach an end... thankfully with God's blessing, i was able to give my best and try to strike for the highest. herm, in this short 10 months, i've learnt so so so much. though excellence comes with some price-countless of hardwork i supppose. But when i look back and observe the transformation of my dear coursemates. I can see that each and everyone of us indeed had gain much from this journey-knowlegde wise, spiritually,moulding rapport. words are insufficient so elaborate the richness of all.

I am more and more hopeful in my education towards my dream. every exam that i go through seems to inject extra confidence that It is possible to be a skillful personnel...all it counts is a sincere heart to learn. i can't wait to enter 2nd year. yes, it will be a tough year with more responsibilities...juniors that guarantee 'irriatating moments'.. higher expectations... bla and bla

ok..back to the topic. yesterday, i attended an interview- in order to further upgrade my exam results. Of course it was never easy...never.. personally it think that giving excuses that i've been on holiday for a week before this board interview is just 'defence mechanism' if one is really well prepared-as how a true doctor should be, the answers will just flow easily.

i shall see this from another perspective, this is a window that opens to more room of improvement. One can never boast that he knows everything-especially in the field of medicine.
i really hope that great motivation will be the Light for my 2nd year fight... good luck to all my coursemates...

see you in next semester.... ta

po$t Futsal syndrome

...........

To start up with... a myriad of pictures (1st blog with this)

My teammates-10 of us

(but the captain is missing... )

>USM main campus Penang

Our 'sweat' and sweet victory

(finally a good start for the year)

>our coach is super delighted.. guaranteed with imsonia on that day...hehe

Its me...:>

(Aren't I cute in the orange attire?)

The golden teams (congrats everyone)

>a nice and fruitful trip indeed

>herm... let me show you my sifu (the guy next to me...'yeap' the mean one haha... he had this haircut specially for this game..i suppose :) anyhow.. thx to him that i get through this smoothly)

Everyone has been wondering- why am i in this alien team with none of my fellow 'skinmates' in...

The answer is pretty simple- because i like what i am doing.

(Its hard to find goals that you want to reach

in the pool of medical student's life...

Something realistic in life will add spies into daily routine

keep you alive spiritually, physically and mentally

haha.. it is even harder to form a whole new clique of friends

sharing the same dream, aspiration and goal...

how great it is to be a part of this family of similar passion!)

Sports have been my love since young...

it spreads wings in my uni life...

quite an irony though considering the added work load and responsibilities

There's a saying goes--- LET ALL THAT YOU DO BE DONE WITH LOVE

That's the principle i hold now in my tertiary studies

enjoy studying, life, food, people around...

haha... i smile to melt all troubles (trying really hard though:>)

getting up cheerfully wishing for a bright day!!!

I am sure uni life has much more to offer beyond this wonders...

i will dive deeper day by day...

hopefully... this journey will help path the way later in my career....

FUN...

herm... where should i start?
my third exam was 24 hrs passed... yeah, says all my coursemates(me too).
this time is rather different from my previous exam encounters.
LIke usual i had butterflies in my stomach before and after each paper,
the intensity varies this time.

To me... (i guess to those who actively took part in the recent CNY celebration should feel it)
the number of hours we spent on notes shrink greatly!!!

we were out of the comfort of pillows and blankets most of the time
not to mention about getting our head on them :(
(spending time maximally with our performance friends more than own roommates)
(talking about how to smoothen the dance more than how to differentiate cells)
one word - tired... glad that it's over now!

ok ok .. enough lamenting about it.
now.. take a look at the bright sight!

1. this is the 1st dance i've ever joined since the last 18 years..( mum was delighted )
2. i got to know a new bunch of friends where i will never never forget...(how alien we were in the 1st sight but reaching the end we were hard to part)
3. learning more about social skills (i came to realise that this process must be done in real situations-never from books---thanks guys)
4. haha... i know even more about myself- never punctual whenever i could :))) + i need more 'silence' classes as to how to keep my views inwardly :>
5. the most importantly- relating to my studies! ( i sensed that i appreciate time more when you're lack of it) yes i do fool around, but the seriously diminishing time really forced our true concentration out!

yes, all there had indeed given me inner calm that i can get through this exam in a less 'nerve-tensing' environment. similarly... i ll be hopeful in the coming results:>... (keeping fingers crossed)

PS: nearly forgotten, my 3rd futsal match! (in the same location as the 1st)
yet, the feeling is total paradoxical. much more expectation, more pressure, and of course, more challenges and fun.

that's all for the moment, cant wait to have lunch with my friends in main campus.. (haha.. i cruelly ditch my futsal mates on their own-shopping will never be that interesting without me:>)
TA

voluntary mitosis....

It will be perfect if humans could split themselves
to be fully devoted to the millions jobs assigned...
oops... too bad.. this can never happen..
neither can one try to freeze the time
---to chase back the missing hour...*impossible*

yeah right... it is so impossible to be dedicated fully to everything i participate in...
my friends used to say im over active...
joining too many acivities...
some are my passion but SOME are NoT...
but in the end... everything sums up to = a sardin can-packed schedule...

the only dilemma is that
at the expense of my sleep time or tv time (not a worry)
but my deepest fear is that it is compromising my studies inch by inch..
is it that when i get better in my extracurricular activities..
the conjugated one will be affected?
not fair
the equation should'nt be this "sly"
(My permanent duty never runs away from medicine
since i step into this course)

erm... what am i worrying since i have all my stands firm...
people--humans--homo sapiens can make a difference!
especially seniors...
i do realise the pressure as a junior in a uni
not so much felt in high school..
getting really prominent herE...
(the tougher ones are those tuned to a passive mode
in a way to 'demonstrate'... fortunately you wil get no barkings...
at the same time...you will get even LESSER response
after posting 100 questions to them)
haih.... one word.... (my favourite... 'nonsense')

enough is enough... i had it enough...
back to work... :)
(comfortable after throwing it out)

counting down....

hello everyone...

since this is the last blog for the year...
erm erm... got to pendown a bit!!!

my mood was pretty weird for the day..
morning---filled with studying atmosphere
afternoon---small group discussion (least attention given there)
evening & night--- much dedicated to flag practice...

yeah.. talking about mood swings.. mine doesnt really 'swings' that easily
...probably once again being away from home..
and yet to celebrate it with mummy and daddy...
the feeling is just incomplete...

no hard feelings for my dear friends...
they tried to have nice little parties for today's countdown...

... got to continue later... friends calling...
