CAM 101 – First year, first semester has officially ended with a bang. Where I passed.
Yeaaaah!
Now off to CAM 102 where I’ll be sleep anatomy, eat anatomy and play anatomy (No joke, I’m seriously trying to bulk up, don’t want to be a scrawny Asian kid no more).
Courteousy of Jia Yi and friends, I managed to visit a few places in Tassie, epic I tell you, epic sceneries.
Will update soon.
I apologize for the lack of updates.
If anyone has been disappointed that is.
3 more days of preperation to my first paper. I had a glimpse at IMU's Foundation II (2nd Semester) MOFA. It struck me, the amount of details they went into, compared to my current syllabus. True enough I am still in the first semester (again). However, it really is downright demoralizing; am I learning as much as my Malaysian counterparts? How would this lead to my clinical performance? I know, of course that being a doctor isn't exactly a textbook-based occupation, plenty of misnomers and ill defined borders, but what is it to know about borders where you don't know where the borders lie?
Ah, the musing. It is a relief to say that the lectuerers here are better in terms of person contact, emails would be replied in a jiffy. However, I do miss the speediness of two hour lectures that makes time for revision and of course rest. Most importantly, I really do miss the cheap food back home. A plate of plain rice with two dishes here cost like at least 9 AUD, roughly 9 times more expensive than home. There is a perk though, we medical students get staff price for food in the hospital cafeteria whereby the food is, well, not any better than two-day-old soggy cornflakes. It'll be good to be back. But I chose this path, is it the correct path? I choose not the see the "what-if" I am back home. I rather don't. Things would be different.
I wouldn't learn to do a lot of stuff that I did here; lifelong skills that I have learnt is indeed, priceless. It's not easy not having people to consult like straightaway for something. I learnt how to decide for myself, making choices would be a part of my job afterall. To say the very least, at least in this place, ethics plays a role.
LOOONG absence eh?
I am not currently in university’s computer lab.
Why have I not been updating?
Because I have no internet connection back in my room. Long story short, Vodafone failed my credit check, I angry don’t want them to earn my money anymore!
Anyhoo… It’s been 5 weeks since uni has started, long hours, and getting used to the daily routine. Not bad I’ll say =)
Oh. Breaking this silence to wish MS AUDREY YAK a very happy birthday =) XOXO.
