First Day of Class

First day of class was fine. I came in just in time for the lecture to start. We had a briefing by our course coordinator and then, we had our first lecture. Basically, it was nothing new yet. What the lecturer taught was Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the form 6 syllabus. Just that, he taught in an hour time. When i entered the auditorium, I couldn't find my friends so I sat with unknown people. These unknown people are very very kiasu people. They printed their lecture notes in advance. To be exact, few weeks in advance. As for me, I thought I would only print them after class but now, I change my mind after looking at them. After class, I went straight to the E lab to print my lecture notes in advance too. For this whole week. Then, there was this girl who even edited the lecture notes with her Campbell Book next to her. After looking at her, I plan to read my Campbell book too. Lol Its very competitive here because many of my coursemates are doing Medicine as their second degree. Yes, I am kiasu again. After resting for months. Anyway, we were given our Assigned Independent Reading topic and I have to make a summary on factors causing reactions to illness and submit it online by 31st of October. Other than that, I have to visit the medical museum in the campus to study on food nutrition of common food this week. Luckily I have internet at my place now. For now, I need to be best friends with

End of Orientation Week

My orientation ended last night. After two tiring weeks. We will start our lessons next week. I have classes mostly in the morning only. Then, in the afternoons and nights I have to do self independent learning. Haha Especially for my Problem Based Learning (PBL). We have PBL 1 and PB2 2. One week for each PBL. It will go on like that. PBL 1 will be the time when we are given a trigger or a patient's case to study. So during the whole entire week, we need to do our own research. For PBL 2, it will be the time when we have to present our work to the others. My first PBL class was last week. We had to do a research on gum bleeding by reading and finding information on the normal oral flora, different types of blood disorders, the anatomy of the oral cavity etc. I am from PBL group 15. Each group is supposed to have 10 people but my group has 9 people only. I am lucky to be in a group where everyone is willing to contribute and socialize with others. Here are some pictures of my room now. =D

Last but not least, the nice poster Grace and Eileen made for me. =D

My place in Bukit Jalil

Last Friday, I left Kuching for IMU. Amanda, Eva, Amanda's mum, Grace and Eileen sent me off. Grace and Eileen made a very nice poster for me to bring over to my new place. Eileen said since I wouldn't have the time to decorate my room, I could paste the poster up instead. Thanks!! Anyway, I have settled down right now. During the first day, we had to register, collect our white coat and gathered at the auditorium for welcoming speeches. We had to wear our white coat and we had to take the Oath. Alicia came to find me after that. It was very nice to meet someone you know from your own hometown. We are having our orientation right now for 2 weeks. I met many new friends from everywhere. I currently stay at Vista Komanwel with Nicole and Galvin. My condominium is just right opposite IMU. It takes 5 minutes for me to reach IMU. Most of the people here are friendly as long as you make an effort to talk to them. My orientation group members said I was so innocent looking.. Haha!! Anyway, here are some pictures of my place when I first reached here.

Dinner with Friends

Last night, Amanda invited my other friends and I for dinner at her house. =D Grace came to pick Eileen and I. She baked chocolate cola cupcakes for sweet people like us to eat. Haha The cupcakes were nice. =D It has been a long time since we gathered at Amanda's house for a dinner like that. I like the crispy tomato mee and chicken curry. Not to forget, the rest of the food. haha Amanda baked bread pudding for us to eat with vanilla ice cream as dessert. After eating, we took some pictures around her house. Since there's a slope at Amanda's house when you want to drive out of her house, we had a little rollercoaster ride there last night when we went back in Grace's car. Her car slided down a bit before going up again. haha We laughed the whole way in the car due to the different funny stories which we told each other. Grace said it was due to the diluted alcohol with sprite. haha Anyway, it was a great night to hang out with my old friends before leaving for KL tomorrow.
