dental usm - 17th batch

Alhamdulillah. things went well. the result was announced yesterday. and guess what?? yess you guessed it right - i managed to survive dental school! later than most people at my age, but who cares? i did it! broken and bruised but i win the game. 

it feels good, at the moment (at least). i know it is 'thousands miles away' ahead, but i'm proud that i have move a little bit forward from where i was.

it is truly a journey.

well, if i would put some of the highlights to the years..

first year - the adaptive year. failed professional examination 1.
second year of first year - another adaptive year - of losing friends. and knowing new friends.
second year - i lost my father.
third year - the feels of first time treating a real patient. heck. terrified but i did dentures for my own mother. it looks good on her. thanks to En. Tan for superb hands skill. :3 mm.. medical, surgical and A&E posting was fun. and i know someone online - but he passed away due to brain cancer.
fourth year - mm cool cool. i played basketball for the first time and we won third place. lmao. it was fun but no more after this, thanjs. 
fifth year - the struggle is real but fun. and... there's.. covid. anyhow, mco was fun for an introvert like me. the post-covid clinical is another kind of struggle but yeah - the bittersweet. 

all in all, it has been a good 6-years journey. i did enjoy the process and i met a lot of awesome people along the way.

if i may quote what Dr Arni had said earlier, 

'it doesn't matter if it takes you 5, 6 or 7 years to finish this up, in the end, it is all about on how you take things to move forward in your life.'

yep yep. it feels right in a way. i don't regret myself for what had happened - both the good and bad things. they shaped me of who i am today. without the dark days, who will appreciate the bright days right?

helo.  how's everyone doing now? great? cool cool. keep doing that, you look good.  this is just another post of 'hi-im-just-dropping-by'. to be honest, i don't really know what should i post here on blogspot. should i post something informative or just to keep it personal - as for my so-called online diary.  but here i am, just some random rants every now and then.  as for my life update, i'm currently still in my routine of boring-working-life. but to highlight some, i was with pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) for 2 weeks in early august. not gonna lie, it was suuuuch an experience. i get to poke someone's shoulder.. with needles.. *insert smirk-creepy-smile* :P the work was fun, in a way. i don't know, though i am an introvert, i do enjoy meeting people at the facility. i enjoy seeing their excitedness and whatever reaction that they have towards getting vaccinated. elders.. youngsters.. all of them, with different kind of vibes each. this one incident at PPV...

Procrastination? Yeah, kind of.

Procrastination. Sounds familiar, isn't it? You have a list of tasks to deal with, but instead - you just there, rearranging your books on the shelf. You have assignments to submit in a week time, but you're creating a cute bed for your new kitten. You need to contribute your part for group-work project, but instead you just cleaning and washing your bed-sheet for the second time of the week. You said you want to keep updating your blog, but yet, there - all the drafts that never made up to the public view. Familiar now? hm-mm. As most people claimed, procrastination is laziness? Well, I don't think so. Yes, the tasks are not done, but look at what you got? A tidy bookshelf, a cute bed for your cute kitten, a clean bed-sheet for you to sleep comfortably, and drafts on your blog that shows you actually have ideas and intentions to-do-so but-you-didn't. Aren't that cool? aha.  So.. if you think about it closely, procrastination doesn't actually equal to laziness o...

hola. i just want to rant out about something..  about this.  a part of me - is against this statement.  the fact that when encountering a patient, doctor/s need to listen to their complaint, their history of complaint, past medical history, history of hospital admission, any drugs history, allergy history, family history and social history yadayada. then proceed to relevant investigations according to the complaint the patient presented with. and then only come out with diagnosis. usually they would pick up the most common first. by means, you wouldnt be suspecting rare diseases first. sooo from the list of possible diseases (differential diagnosis) you just pick the most common diseases that relevant to the signs and symptoms, and as suggested from the results of the investigations done. treat by the first choice first.  some would say, 'ni je buat?' because it seems to be very lack of effort, but yea. to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. annndd as in the case ...
