When I entered university for MBBS degree 5 years back,
Never I thought that, the day when the number of housemans flourish excessively, will be the day when I was in 3rd year(2008). The number of houseman being produced during that year doubled from 1000 to 2000+
Everything was so peaceful until when I was in 3rd year, our lecturers and professors began to complain about the drastic increment of the number of houseman...
Some foresee that the future housemans will be undertrained because of their huge number and as the consequence of inbalance specialist to housemansss ratio...
When I was in 4th and 5th year, the issue is so hot...and never can be solved...
By the time I graduated, the number of houseman produced per year is 4000....
And this year the government finally plan " to do something"...which is stop giving permission to build new medical school...
And so we are, trapped in this transition and revolution.
I just finished my Induksi at Lumut, Perak...
This year, quite a number of us got posted to distric hospital with specialist. We got our 4th choice...Ya...not in our application form...
I was initially sent to a recently upgraded district hospital in MY HOMETOWN.
However, I made an appeal...
Even though I know all the big general hospitals currently are cramped with housemans...
I dont know whether my decision was correct or not. It can turn out to be detrimental to my housemanship and to my training. People used to say housemanship is the most important part of our career...
I am on the way to explore it...
Finally I got my appeal approved, to a general hospital.
I told one of my good friend, I am afraid I will regret regarding the decision I made.
I am afraid I will regret not because of the place that I go will be cramped and full of housemans, but the chances that I let go, to serve in a district hospital...
It might be a better option for those who trapped under this revolution or transition...
Who knows?
To be continued...

New Hairstyle
This is my original hair...a bit wavy,very healthy, yet difficult to manage, and I can't go out without tying a pony tail...It's so embarrassing to go out with a leonine-like hair..
Instead of half curly, let's make it 100% curly so I can go out without being embarrassed...haha...
I just don't know how to adjust the flash...looks so pale, so geli...
Up until now, 2x rebondings and 2x curly hair...Tie~
What else can girls do to their hair??
Don't tell me to go bald...

So nice, if I can stay at home like you do, without worrying where I will be posted.
So nice, if I can stay at home like you do, without afraid of being lonely.

On Doing Medicine
Wanna become a doctor?
You can check on the below link which, was shared by my friends on facebook. An article to ponder...
Undeniable, it is quite demotivating for those who wants to be a doctor. But, it is true in many aspects...it encompasses updates for the current system and situation in our country too...

A mother asked me, whether it is okay to let her daughter, who is currently doing a "Pre-medical" programme for 5 weeks at X university, to study medicine...
Instead of promoting how good it is to study medicine, I told her all the downsides of doing medicine first...
Ya, maybe I wasn't suppose to say that.
It's better to tell the worse truthful facts first, so the mother and daughter will have anticipation of what kind of field she is going to embark on...
If she is still adamant, then good. She most probably can complete the 5 years course with her will.
I told her importantly, this is what your daughter wants... (and not what u wish)
I've seen friends who study medicine to fulfill their parents's vanity.
Despite so much of arguments, parents still believe medicine is the best for their brilliant children. There will be halos above their head wherever they go.
This is so wrong. Some give up themselves, some stop going to class, some stop attending lectures, even lose passion to do everything.
What I see is most people start studying medicine with great passions...
Or precisely before studying medicine people are so engross to pursue a place in medicine, but once they start their passion started to wear off day by day...
The passions are all eaten up by failure to pass the exams in medical school; feeling dumb at all times; feeling exhausted all the time due to busy schedule; being drilled and sometimes even humiliated by the superiors(to make u stronger of course...); sleep deprive; stressful environment,lack of freedom, etc...
If the will of becoming a doc is not from yourself, then forget about it...
It is hard to find reasons to keep going on when you encounter failures, or the above mention...
She ask me anxiously why doing medicine is so so tough, then you still choose to do it???
As if I wouldn't have ended up talking like that if I were to love medicine so much...
I said, I never thought that it will be so difficult, especially to deal with the pressure of passing the final exams....and no one ever tell me these~~~
It's not honest oso to tell you all the benefits of becoming a doctor without telling you the downsides. Always tell the good and bad things so that people can weigh it themselves.
Of course, doing medicine, at times, are rewarding...
At last, I wish her and her daughter all the best.
So good huh, nowadays, some universities offer "Premedical course"...
I totally agree with that.

3 Idiots
3 Idiots, an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor~One of my favourite. It's a very inspiring comedy. It makes us ponder about the current education system.. This movie made me laugh and cheer up my gloomy day during final year....
Free to be watched from youtube~
Can't find the official trailer which has English subtitle. But the above is a classic one from the movie. There are more to laugh from this movie.

Stepping Stones
Once you understand what is a stepping stone, then you will feel relieved of what you are doing...
Stepping stone, like an elevator, to reach something higher, something you really desire.
Sometimes life is not that straight forward.
In "Beautiful Boxer", a Thailand movie based on a true story of how a man become a woman. He embarked himself into brutal kick boxing in order to earn money, so that he could undergo operation to become a woman.
Professional kick-boxer is not her destiny. Her destiny is, a woman. How paradoxical and irony, that, he plunged himself into a masculine world in order to reach to the feminine self.
Tun Mahatir himself does not want to become a doctor at first place. He wanted to study law. But his family could not afford. And he got scholarship to do medicine. So he did. Because he wanted to become a leader, he wanted to be heard.
Politics and leadership is his destiny. Doctor, not.
People might say life is short to fulfill so many dreams.
But, never forget what you really want to be.
Whatever you endure, just treat it as a stepping stone.

Dream 1
I am starting to have different kind of dreams at night recently...
This is a bad sign...I seldom remember my dreams.
This means subconsciously, I am experiencing subtle stress!
I am going to Marina Island Resort Pangkor this coming 14 June for Induksi.
During Induksi, I will know where I will be placed for housemanship.
So reluctant to get back to work...
I guess realizing that holiday is coming to an end is a stress...
I was having this horror dream in my sister's room...
Just saja wanna sleep in her room...without her consent...hehe
Sleep paralysis struck me in the middle of the night...Something was pulling my head. It's pulling me to the right side...I couldn't move my body.I tried to resist...I tried very hard to open my eyes, when I finally succeed, I was kind of iffy whether I saw a dark blurry figure or merely a shadow of the corner...
Lucliky I am short-sighted.
I was scared, thinking of the ghost story that my cousins once told me(something wanna drag her down the bed)...
I tried to scream but to no avail as if my voice was swallowed...
Finally, I found myself could move again...I was frightened...
I ran to my mother's room quickly to sleep with her...
And then I was asleep...
When I woke up, I found out that I was stil sleeping in my sister's room.
Again, I forced myself to wake up and went to my mother's room...
I fell asleep and woke up, and Hell! I found myself was still trapping in my sister's room...
And it went on and on...
I was trying to escape...But I was trapped.When would I break the cycle?
I was confused...which was real...which was dream...??
