Of Royal Blood & typical KLite

Boy, it's been a week since the holiday's over. Though I can say holiday wasn't that great, (I lost my cellphone and broke my laptop) I pretty much learn that I can never sit around here thinkin' havin the holiday all by myself (whilst everyone back home and some went for vacation) is going to get my mind off these medical turmoil. Next time cuti, balik Malaysia, balik! lalala~

"We've pushed your 1st I.A. to after spring break 'cause that way you'll get better marks, 'cause you have the whole holiday to revise."

Better marks my ass. Ever wonder why they call it holiday? Holy-day? Studying isn't holy. Taking pictures with Eiffel as the background is holy. Going back to Malaysia, enjoying March's shopping spree is holy. Eating sliced baguette at Italian street cafe with cheese fondue is holy. When the whiteboard were falling, for a second i hope it falls on your head, so that you'll become sane again. And mister, screaming in lectures isn't the best way of putting across the info to our mind.

Anyway, go Pharmacology!

Kau orang ni belajar ke tak?

Earlier today, in the lecture hall..

Cik Usha: What is blood components?

Students: ...

Cik Usha: Answer! >.<

Students: (uih, awat ghibut cik Usha nih, rilek arr)

Haven't I told ya Medicine equals hard work? If you go to the lectures all miss-blonde, you get smacked on your forehead in return. And soon appears bruising saying, "stupid, stupid!". Same goes if you're on your clinical posting. Back in my first year, I can't wait for my postings. I used to think hospitals are such magical kingdom, full of pretty nurses sprites and fairies. It's like watching Wizard of Oz in reverse. Well, it's nothing like that. You can never mess up when being asked a question by an attendant. Article fourteen of the Super Doc handbook says no being witless saying "I don't know". They'd take away your halo. There goes! Find another way to shine! Volunteer yourself to palpate a patient's groin and voila! You're back in the game.

Selit-selitan..

(pagi semalam dalam bas on the way pegi Baptist Hospital)

aku: (amik iPod, sebab nak dengar, bosan)

member: weh, ko dengar ape tuh?

aku: Brian Adams, please forgive me.

member: hahaha! tak samseng arr dengar lagu-lagu senti! lepas nih ape plak? Helpless when she smiles? Like I nver loved you at all?

afiq: ... lagu sape tuh?

member: BSB, Take that.

afiq: lu layan juga lagu-lagu boyband rupenye.

member: ko ingat aku samseng sangat ke?

afiq: haha!

Makin susah la medic nih.

(dalam buku pediatrics aku, dia orang ade ajar macam mana nak susukan anak, termasuk posisi dan takat mana nak masuk benda alah tu kat dalam mulut baby. ape kejadah?)

Dah lama aku dengar yang medic ni susah. tapi aku peduli apa, konon-konon hebat nak ambik jugak course nih. aku dengar jugak camana orang-orang yang ambik medic nih tiba-tiba jadi saiko. kalau dekat KMB diorang dengar Fratellis dengan Arctic monkeys, lepas ambik medic trus tukar taste dengar Andrea Bocelli. Mana taknye, buku-buku die banyak macam dekat library negeri, tapi section budak-budak lah. cuma tajuk-tajuk bukunye lagi susah nak sebut. cuba kau orang sebut nih, otolaryngology. tak berbelit ke lidah tuh.

dah nak dekat setahun aku duduk dekat India nih, tapi tak pernah nampak Shilpa Shetty. tapi tahun lepas aku ade lecturer yang sebijik macam pelakon Bollywood. time dia bagi lecture, aku mengada-ngada nak duduk depan. nak tengok dari dekat la konon. muka dia la bukan benda lain. last-last die panggil aku pegi depan sebab nak bagi demonstrasi chest examination. menggila aku dekat depan kena cabut baju. dia pegang badan aku sampai part-part sensitif pun dia tempelak. aku tengok muka kawan-kawan aku yang lain. yang lelaki jeles, yang perempuan, tak tau lah.

(aku dengar belajar Medic dekat UK senang sikit. kelas pun bukan tiap-tiap hari macam dekat India ni. Ha, sape suruh jadi wussie taknak pegi Leeds sorang-sorang)
