I want to graduate!

This was what I've been saying all day today when I was helping out in IMU. Just got back. Time = 1.23pm

I volunteered to help out in the IMU's convocation which was held for the very first time in IMU. Woke at 4 something this morning, bathed and made up and prepared to go to IMU.

Reached IMU before sunrise and signed in for work. Pinned a crosage on my shirt and we had breakfast provided in Cengkih Corner (staff lounge). But it's just nasi lemak, by Sheraton Subang. Many of the staff were there. Early on a Saturday morning.

Then, it was time for work. I was stationed at level 3 to direct the crowd to level 4 as the ceremony is held in the Auditorium. I stood near the library near the staircase to Chancellor Hall. Job description? Ushering. Standing on 4 inch heels and put on a permanent smile and greet. And show them the way. For one and a half hour. Then continue work when they finish. To direct them back again.

It's not bad, because I get to practise smiling:D

And, I get to see people dressed up like Harry Potter in a quidditch game. Robes.. haha... I saw many friends and families of the graduands coming, and it was such an honourable event in one's life.

What did I do in between? I went to the Oral Healthcare Centre booth and helped out folding the brochures and distributing. And chatted:) with Kak Kat and Stephanie.

I can't wait for mine. I want flowers. Lots of them. I want to carry lilies, roses, tulips, daisies, sunflowers, orchids... I want teddy bears too! It's just so great to see people graduating and tossing their hats in the air. I want pictures. I want to graduate.

It's just another year before we end phase one. And Prof Toh says that our robes will be lined with orange. For Dentistry!

Time flies. I wonder if I can wear that robe, get the scroll and toss the hat next year.

MVA is bad. Don't watch.

Monsters Vs Aliens was just released today and we chose that over Terminator Salvation because Terminator was sold out (except for the front seats).

And one word, bad. Or what Peisan says, below umum umum. First few minutes of the movie was rather disappointing and sitting through the movie was torture.

My advice would be not to watch it. But if you want to know how it's like, go ahead. You have been warned.

Live long and prosper

Medical Summatives ended yesterday but I didn't have the mood to celebrate. Didn't do well, but life goes on.

After getting back from IMU, I went to my laptop and started working on another blog. I'm in charge of Design & PR for my house, Pegasus. So once exam's over, it's work time. I'm more enthusiastic in doing this (compared to studying)as I did it till 3am without food. Then slept and woke at 6am to continue, then got dimsum breakfast with Amos Josh and Psan.

Then got back to continue and then go MidValley. Watched Star Trek.

Heard that the movie was good. Papers gave it high ratings (8 or 9 of 10).

So basically I expected it to be good. And the movie, just blew me away. Cause it exceeded my expectations. Story was good, acting was good, graphics was good. Good! I would recommend this movie. No spoilers here tho' cos you must enjoy the movie:) If you think Xmen origins is good, this is waaaaaaay better;)

But you'll be numbed at certain areas due to prolonged "buttock-chair contact". Do remember to move your toes and legs time to time to prevent DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

After movie, went back then continued work and finally is done!!! And that's just the blog part. I don't know how I'm going to do for the banner/logo part.

See the imupegasusblog. I've learnt some new things:) Not that great but quite impressive in one day.

Would like to rest and FB now. Tired.

Don't remember at all

Things I have read before seems to be alien to me. I can't remember a thing!

I can't get anything in or out my head.

Was stressed that I called my mum and cried it all out. Stressssss!!!!!

Persevere

Cavity preparation + amalgam restoration + medical summatives + competency test = ?

A dental student.

And that's what I am. So, I was and is supposed to face all these. All I need is the strength to pull through and the heart to remember and a mind to think.

Was panicking last night. Thinking of how much I didn't cover and how much time I have left.

K la, we all must study. Tho' a little afraid of what might come out.



thanks sabbie:)

A little slower

I HAVE TO finish CVS today. If not, there won't be enough time for GI and Haemato. My brain needs food.

**********************

Just had 'brunch' of toast with eggs and baked beans. Reminds me of my school holiday breakfasts my mom would make when I was younger.



Yum. Eggs are said to be DHA enriched. True or not?

Nur evaw onuzim + 5k

Don't know why I actually signed up for a 15km run. New Balance 15km run 2009 was organized by pacesetters Malaysia which used the route of Mizuno Wave run 2008 with aan additional 5km to it.

As you can see, the title above is Mizuno Wave Run in reverse because the route was the same except we went in the opposite direction. Plus another 5km.

Didn't really run but jogged and walked. Didn't want to overwork myself, so I was kinda the slow slow slow one. Plus it's my first 15km, with only 3 hours of sleep. Powernap now CVS later.

I can't imagine I signed up for half marathon in June. I must be crazy.

....zzzzZZZZZ

Total paid: MYR 46.00

I got a plane ticket from Miri to KL just for the amount above!

And it's on Malaysia Airlines. Woot!


*********************

Had dimsum this morning:)

Chillimaniac

Happy 21st!

Hope you were happy we ransacked your room. Lol~

Herbal Pan mee later:)

Apple cake

Today, is one day after my dental practice exam. And I now know I'm very bad in it. Especially OBA. The answers are all (almost all) right but you have to think which one is THE BEST.

Make the right choice.

Should do better next time.. 11/20 for OBA. *sigh* Really disappointing when I thought I would do good. Really disappointed and upset during the feedback session.

*********************

Now I'm having apple cake:)

Low sugar vanilla cake batter with lightly caramelized granny smith apples. Baked in the oven and now enjoying it warm:) If only I had vanilla icecream, it would be yummy!




Later I'm going to school again. Bilirubin or something.

Penyakit babi

The swine flu Influenza A (H1N1) outbreak is getting worse, with more confirmed cases and deaths worldwide. As of now, the death toll is 53 and 4150 confirmed cases are reported. And it's from 29 countries. (**Just had an update from WHO. The number of confirmed cases is now up to 4379. More than 200 increase from the previous figure and it is not even 12 hours. WHO put this outbreak as a 5 of 6: Imminent pandemic. Get the global coverage on H1N1)

The outbreak has reached Asian shores:Japan. And also to where I maybe in 2 years time: Australia. Beware!!! Read more at The Star

And if the problem is not getting better. I will pull out from my Cambodia trip. I will write a letter to the Dean or something.

It's not a good thing to catch the virus from somewhere, especially from airplanes or Airports or a third world country with tourists from all over the world and then spread it on a plane or at your school or your friends or family.

Yea. Let's hope that H1N1 can just go away.

On another note

An outbreak! Meningitis. Many died and many are quarantined. It's in Melaka, where 434 people have already been quarantined. How did it happen? They said that one trainee from Kelantan carried the virus and went back to his training centre where he spread it to all his fellow trainers and trainees.

That boy died by the way. Read here here and here. (the latest news just came in, so 434 plus six is 440. What a sui number)

I don't want my brain to be destroyed:(

***************************************

Exam's tomorrow.

Reality check

What's the first thing you would think of when you see this?























My brother was in it.







Drive safely.

Chocolate covered strawberries

Bought some Korean strawberries again. And a bar of chocolate. Melted the choc and dipped the strawberries in them. Yum.

Homemade fondue:)

*************************

Felt blessed because when I was engrossed with grocery shopping (last night) at the chocolate and biscuit aisle, I did not even realize my phone was gone!!!

I was at the payment counter when a little girl came up to me and said:

"ni de tong shi tiao le" (you dropped something)

And she held up my phone. And I was like... "What?? When did it even leave me?" I was so thankful to the little girl. I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost my phone.

This is not the first time my phone left me without realization. Another time was when I was at the student lounge last year on 17th Aug to watch Lin Dan vs Lee Choong Wei.

It was at the end of the match and everyone left. When I was walking away from my spot, 3 steps later I heard my phone's sms tone. I searched my pcokets, not there. Then I saw that it was at the spot I was watching. Can't thank enough to the person who smsed me. Thank you... (you know who you are la)

Yeap... lesson is... There are still good people out there. And do the same for it might happen to you:) Karma~

Another thing is to stay alert!!! Don't be like me... Blur..

Labour day.

Yesterday... I had this hunger for icecream and wolverine... After drilling at the lab, I changed my skirt for jeans and took cab to Midvalley.

Reached at 5 something (movie starts at 5pm) I watched X-men Origins: Wolverine. Not bad except at some parts the graphics a bit weird.

Also, I had 5 scoops of New Zealand Natural icecream. Hahaha~ All for RM 8. Told ya I'm a cheapo... They had a promotion for people with certain birth years. Rum and raisins, macadamia, chocolate esctasy and fruits of the forest... These are the flavours that I'm comfortable with... yet to try other flavours...



Icecreammmmmm<3 (but too much can be fattening... eat in consideration ok?)

After that got back to attend cell group. Then after that, we went to the funfair... And I'll say.. not going to funfairs anymore... I don't like the flashing lights and earblasting 'music'. Makes me feel nauseous, luckily I don't have epilepsy... Funfair is not fun. The entire cell group were sickish.. especially Amos...


******************

I'm done with my report!!! Yay! I don't know if I fulfiled all the learning objectives or not.. Will select pictures to print...

**************************

My 38 is erupting. (lower left wisdom tooth)

It bled the whole day yesterday and is very painful and inflammed. I think it caused my mild fever for the week. Yea.. fever and arm wrestling... lol~

My upper wisdom teeth all erupted without much pain. But this 38 bleeds while I was in the lab drilling, more when I brush.. I can even feel the gum covering the teeth moving. I think the tooth is growing at angle...

Please... don't let it be impacted.... I don't want surgery:(
