My life in Semester 2

Basically, I am not as free as last year when I was in Semester 1. I came back for my Semester 2 on the 1st of February and ever since then, I never have the time to blog. For this semester, I am taking Microbiology (Oh, I "love" microbiology), Pathology, Immunology, Pharmacology, Parasitology and Community Medicine. We just finished our Microbiology and guess what? After studying about bacteria, virus and fungus from the lecture notes and under the microscope, I am having a Streptococcus infection on my face right now. It started off with really red lines on my face and I thought it was an allergy. It became worse after one week and I had to go and see a doctor at Sri Petaling. The doctor told me it was a Streptococcus infection. Right now, it is healing after I took the antibiotic and applied the antibacterial cream but I am still having the Streptococcus infection on my face.


I can just imagine these chains of coccus on my face even though I cannot see them

I have to go to the Clinical Skills Unit once in 2 weeks too. So far, they taught us how to take a proper history from a patient, how to do hand washing, gloving and gowning with the correct technique, how to give intramuscular injection and how to dispose the syringes properly.







I have to sit for my CPR theory exam next Monday. It is free for the first time but if we fail, we have to pay to resit. We have to pass the theory exam before we can go for out practical exam.

My AIR topic assignment will be due at the end of March. We have to do a research on targeting antigens on tissues using Immunohistochemistry. Yeah, in short, this is an update about my life in semester 2 at the moment.

The good news will be... I will be going back to Kuching for the weekend from next Friday till the following Monday with Nicole and Hazel. :D

Chinese New Year Visiting 2009

I go for chinese new year every year with almost the same group of people. Haha Well, I visited more houses this year compared to other years as I went visiting with the rest of my friends everyday from 1st day till 5th day. This is also the first time that I embarrassed myself during Chinese New Year visiting. I wanted to visit my student's house but I actually drove to the wrong house. He told me it was opposite Upwell at Jalan Song and I just assumed it was the first big bungalow. That was not the worst part. The worst part was when I was still calling my student to open the gate for me, the gate was already opened for me to drive in. I hanged up since the gate was already opened. Then, I went down from the car with Jacqueline, Xu Vin and Gerald. To my surprise, an unknown guy opened the door and he was so puzzled. He asked us for who we were looking for. When I mentioned my student's name, he said there was not such person. *?*?*@# At that moment, we realized we went to the wrong house and we had to say sorry to him. He said nevermind and even wished us Happy Chinese New Year. He asked us which university were we from. Yeah, he must be thinking that UKM and IMU students are so dumb to go to the wrong house. Anyway, he closed the gate right after we drove out.

Before leaving Oliver's house, Xu Vin's brother decided to hide Jacqueline's heels by hanging them on different flower pots since she would only be leaving later. It was embarrassing for her because when she couldn't find her heels, even other guests in the house had to go out to hunt for the heels with her. Oliver and his parents who knew the trick actually pretended to hunt for her heels too. In the end, she had to call Xu Vin to ask about it because she could only find one side.

I met up with Fiona and Pei Jie too
