Memory

 So, its been a while since I updated huh? Well, I gotten hooked on video games and TV series lately, so I spent a lot of time watching series and catching up with my stories. Anyway, today's story actually happened to me. Happened too frequent I'm afraid. That's the thing with me, I can't just read and expect to remember afterwards. I take time to remember what I learn and to actually understand the things that I read.

 

  

 

 

As for my departing words, I bit all of you, err...what was it again? Oh shucks, till next time

Sick

Hey yo!


I came down with rhinitis last week and was sneezing constantly. Not to mention, my eyes got watery and my nasal area felt congested. The medication I took cause me to be drowsy and whenever I got the chance, I'll be sleeping. However, I've been known to fake sickness in order to get out of school, and somehow some of my friends think that I'm pulling that old trick again.

Until, I convince them that I'm indeed sick. My method of convincing them? I told them I'll sneeze to their face the next time I feel one coming out, then they'll tell me whether I'm faking or not. But that's just a joke. I'd never do that.




So the person who became my victim the other day was Zahir. I told him that I will sneeze to his face and he'll tell me if I'm sick or not. Luckily the Pharmacology class ended and he took the opportunity and ran away as fast as he can.

till next time!

Joke

I'm not quite the joker that I thought I was. Oh well, that's okay, I can live with it.

I've received lot of stick by my classmates (especially Yazid) since he and Zahir are always featured in this blog o' mine. Okay2, I'll feature different people okay?

I told this joke to a classmate of mine some time ago...but he didn't get it. So, I told Bun about it. Being that he is quite fluent in English, I thought he should be laughing at this. But no, just a chuckle from him. I don't think its even sincere





Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I have been busy with studies..Now that 1st Professional Exam is getting nearer, I can't really slacking off. I just finish my minitest Y2B3 and moments later, studying 1st year notes. Sigh, it's very busy to be a med students but love it every second.

Alma mater

This is not a post about med school, but rather, about boys school.



My last school is Alam Shah Science School. Its a boys school, and full boarding school. The two years I spent there learning wasn't only for SPM but also, about life and to survive. I like to think that I started to be more independent here. Simply put, it's a memory that I won't forget.

Now, people often ask me about the different environment in boys school. Oftenly, they will come with presumption such as, the students are all hard headed, bullying was everywhere and of course the classic stereotype that all boys school grads have tendency to be gay. Goddammit!

When I explain to them the real situation (the situation at my school that is) they seemed to be cleared from those stereotype. Thank God! But one particular fella (Bunyamin is my victim here, though he isn't the one who I mentioned) got a different interpretation of how its like to be in boys school.

Anyway, Happy Anniversary to the 4th Batch of ASiS, The RIVOLUSiS !

Cadaver: Poking

The 4th part of the series, might not be the last

Here's the thing, I meant no disrespect or whatever but I can't help it. As a child I always want to touch things on the shelves of the shop and etc. but that's how I get familiarising myself with the surroundings. It's like looking by touching. SO, naturally I'll poke here and there in the cadaver room, my Yazid doesn't like it one bit. Though I respect his view but due to my stubbornness (and maybe curiosity) he just let it slide. Maybe he is tired of yelling at me all the time. Who knows?





Luckily the cadavers won't break if you touch it. Or else, I have to buy it if I broke it. You know, like "If you broke it, you bought it" policy in shop?

Cadaver: Heart

3rd part of the Cadaver series


The human heart is the size of your fist. It's about 350 grams. If its bigger or heavier than that, you might have an underlying heart problem. The gross anatomy of the human heart is not like what I imagined as a child. You know, the love sign? Its not at all. Actually the love sign is a pagan symbol for buttocks. So, when I see a girl (or sometimes boys) draw the love sign, I was chuckling to myself.



Okay, the cadaver heart didn't snapped off because of me. According the lab tech who was in charge that day, the cadaver heart was already loose because students and lecturers always try to take it out to show the oblique sinus (or whatever it is posterior to the heart).

Cadaver: Mistaken

Second post on the cadaver series

Here's the thing. The cadaver we have is 5 years old at least. So, there will be some organs detached from its original position. The trick is, we need to identify which organ belong to which cadaver since we need to put it back where it came from. The tricky part is, (for me) I'm having a hard time determining which organ is which. You see, the pictures in the textbook looks very different than the real thing. Fortunately, over time, I'm able to recognize the organs. Lucky huh? Wouldn't be silly if a doctor can't identify a human organ.




The fun thing about cadaver session is, we can actually touch all the specimen provided in the room. If you have a strong resistant towards the intoxicating smell of formalin, then by all means, swim with the cadavers all day long. For me, I can't stand the smell. It make my eyes misty. But you can't pamper yourself too much right?
