journey

5 years ago, i was doubting myself - should i quit or should i just go along with dentistry? that was when i failed my professional examination I. i doubt my mental, i doubt my capability. i doubt everything that i had. i was in dilemma to choose dentistry or just quit and figure out something else later. and to be honest, the weight was heavier on the quitting side. 

while i was considering a few things here and there, a question from Dr. Nisa, my academic advisor, stick in my head, 'if you didn't fail pro I, would you still be here?' my brain took the question quite seriously. and after a few days, after talking to my parents, siblings and a few friends, i decided to just continue what i have started. i took the failure as a challenge - to never have any failed paper/s anymore in the future, and improve my achievement from time to time. 

and now, after six years being in dental school, i'm glad that i made the choice. the doubts are still there at times, but i enjoy the journey. i meet amazing and chill lecturers, i know lots of cool and cray-cray friends, i know lots of kind and compliant patients, i work with amazing and sporting staff nurses, and not to forget, those that i know from programs and university activities. seriously, i lost counts - of how much university life taught me - formally or not. from people that i met at cafe, to people that i met at lecture halls. i can't thank everyone good enough. the least thing i could do is just to hope the best for everyone of you. only God can do justice in returning the favor that all of you have done. 

and on the later page, i did accomplish my own challenge. my results were improving. Alhamdulillah. even though i'm not at the top of the chart, but i satisfied with my achievement so far. result for Pro III will be announced next week - and i really hope i do well. and i hope everyone in the batch do well. even though being graduates of DDS-Covid19 is quite challenging/frustrating/tough (i don't know how to describe this) but well, things happened, and it's really not THAT bad after all. (but yeah Covid is bad, but the management aftermath is quite acceptable. so it's not all that bad. lol)

well, that ends the rant for today. do pray for my result next week. hope everything goes well.

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 ...
