I have been wanting to post about this for quite some but I just couldn’t find the time.
Back in ACS during STPM days, my teachers and friends know very well that I have aimed to study Medicine. I was grateful to be accepted into UKM for Medicine. I am one step closer to achieving my dream, but of course, there is still a long way to go in reaching my aim.
After that, things seemed to happen so fast and I just went with the flow.
This picture was taken during the “Personal and Professional Development” Camp in Perak.
This was when I got to know some of my friends better.
My roommate, Kee Tat and I were thrown into a room with a huge hole in the ceiling.
We had to close it with 2 planks of wood. A lost cat somehow fell off through the hole and almost killed my roommate. Luckily, he wasn’t sleeping that time.
Notice the books on the shelves.
I have twice the amount of books now. And lecture notes are piling and piling.
I do not know how I did it. I managed to survive Semester 1 and 2. We have only one week of study leave to ingest the work of the entire semester, about 4 modules. The lecture notes for each module = half of the notes I have for Biology during STPM.
Lecture notes of one semester = 2 x STPM Biology.
It was not easy. I had insomnia during the exam week in Semester 1. My roommate knew best how terrible it was for me. I was very stressed out and worried.
Semester 2 was better. I only had insomnia the night before the first paper. After that, I could sleep well throughout the rest of exam week.
Before I enter medical school, I thought the life there would be all about academics. It was only when I entered medical school that i realised that it is not that way. My extra-curricular life in UKM is mainly due to AMSA (Asian Medical Students’ Association)
I went to Sabah for a conference and had fun.
That was also when my phone went for a swim. After that I got a new phone! Hehe
We educated the public on how to use a condom properly.
… using a cucumber.
Went for a community service in Muar and had a keluarga angkat, whom I still keep in touch.
Went to Taiwan and was stigmatized for having the risk of being infected with H1N1.
Met a lot of new friends from different countries.
Semester 3 is a bit crazy for me. I hope I will be able to survive the finals which is about 2 weeks from now.
As for girlfriend, she is the one I feel sorry for the most. Throughout the one and a half years, I have not given her enough attention. She was however, very understanding and has never complained. Being so far apart is not easy, but I’m sure we’ll manage.
a touching post…nearly…NEARLY moved me to tear…especially the last paragraph…all the best to u bro…
Ha ha. Now I noticed a trend. Every time when examination is around the corner, Hau Wei will ponder upon himself and, what we always do in PPD, self-reflect.
Not to laugh at you, bro, chill. It’s a good thing anyway. I always do that myself (though not so efficiently)
results reaped in the past, n results to be reaped in the future never fail to motivate a person to reap even more more more
