I miss Kuching

It is 5 more days to home sweet home. I will be going back to Kuching next Friday night. =D My exam is on the 31st of December. What a day for an exam. Anyway, I will be back in Kuching for a week during my study break. Two weeks ago, I went to Sunway Lagoon with Sze Ying, Hazel and Wei Thing. That was during their last weekend in KL. Sze Ying and Hazel woke up earlier to make sandwiches for our lunch there. We took a taxi there and as soon as we reached the entrance after buying our tickets, the security guard wanted to check our bags to make sure no outside food/drinks. We had to pour our mineral water away and bring in our empty bottles. I find it ridiculous as they asked us to pour our water away and refill the free water from the water cooler.. We managed to sneak in the food as after showing our empty bottles to them, they didn't check our bags anymore with the food inside. Hehe It was drizzling at first so we decided to go to the water theme park first. When we wanted to go to the toilet to change, we went into the wrong toilet. We walked into the Male toilet and I was shocked to see all the guys there. It took me a while to realize that we went into the wrong toilet. Haha Basically, only Sze Ying and I played most of the rides there because the other two didn't want to. We were pretty exhausted by the time we reached the amusement theme park. Haha Especially after walking across the 400m+ suspension bridge. At first we planned to have dinner at Sunway Pyramid but by the time we reached there, we were too exhausted to even walk so we decided to go home to sleep instead and just have dinner by buying the food outside Vista B and eat at Hazel's place.

As for last Saturday, Gerardine came down from Singapore for 2 nights and she stayed with me. We went out to eat dim sum at Sri Petaling for breakfast on Sunday. She chia me for breakfast there. Then I went home to study and she went out on her own. At night, we went to Ampang Point for dinner. She chia me at the Korean Nak Won Restaurant. We had korean food for dinner. hehe RM100+ but it was worth it considering the food we had there.

She bought a steamer for me to cook over here as my christmas present. Anyway, before going back to Singapore, she bought the chicken and the emperor chicken herbs for me to cook too. I shared the emperor chicken with Galvin and we ate it for lunch and dinner that Monday. As for this weekend, I will not be going out. I will just be spending my time studying at home. hehe

Trip to Genting Highlands

Photobucket
Nicole and I went to Genting Highlands to join her mum for a night yesterday afternoon. It was fun. We reached there at around 2.30pm and we felt hungry so we ate wedges at KFC.

After that, we decided to walk around. We didn't play at the theme park. For dinner, Nicole's mum brought us to Mushroom Farm Seafood Restaurant. It's been a long time since I had such nice food for dinner ever since I am here. We had butter prawns, fish, mushroom and soup with rice. For dessert, we had fruits including durians. hehe

Photobucket

After dinner, Nicole and I went to Snow World. It was really fun especially when we sat in the floats and played with the ice slides. We threw snow at each other and took pictures in there. Haha

Anyway, we went back to our room after that to sleep. The next morning, we went to Ripley's Believe It or Not. We spent an hour+ in there.

Photobucket
There was a mirror next to this picture for people to try to roll their tongues like the man in the picture. I tried doing it many times and after that, I realized the mirror wasn't an ordinary mirror. People from the other side of the mirror could look at me doing stupid faces at them. Lol I looked like an idiot to them.

Patient Interview

We have our patient interview starting from this week onwards. It's under our Behavioral Science. For my semester and the next semester, we only have to interview normal patients. As for my semester 3, we have to interview patients who are very angry and come to see the doctor by banging on the door or wall. Then, for semester 4, we have to interview patients who are very sad and depressed. We have to break very sad news to them too such as they have cancer etc. Anyway, the lecturers taught us how to interview patients in the correct way. We are not allowed to use any medical jargon at all. I didn't know words like symptoms, associated symptoms, history, radiate are considered as medical jargons. We are not allowed to use those words when we talk to patients as they might not understand. We were asked to use lay-man terms and explanation instead. Our assessment on patient interview will be in a few weeks time. Now, we get to practise to interview patients.

Our lecturers showed us videos on good and bad interviews with patients and they even acted out for us to see in our lecture hall this morning.

After my lectures, I had to go for my PBL session on digestive system. Then, my orientation group friends and I went to KFC for lunch.

We ordered one big bucket of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, wedges etc and we felt very bloated at the end of the day. Haha We started to talk about how many more weeks to our exam and most of us started to feel kiasu except for Michelle who is so used to Kiasuism since she's from Raffles College in Singapore where everyone is kiasu. Haha
