My Graduation in photos..

Oh well, obviously it's for lazy people and yes, I admit I am lazy. Super duper lazy...

And finally, my graduation ended. We have two graduations one which is the actual one in Ukraine, and another one in Putrajaya, PICC. As usual, the lazy me will let the pictures do the talking..

Before we start.. **emo mood kicks in** Thats it.. the end of the whole 14 years of going to school or to be exact 16 years including kindergarden?? how fast time flies, now I have to go out there to contribute to the society, to help mankind, and to be responsible for whatever decision I made. **hyperventilates and running around like a mad woman** Lives are within my hands and every decision I made would not only influence my patient's life and death issue but also will change the lives of those around them. I am scared.. but I think I have to learn to cope with it, to deal with times that I have to say "I am sorry, we did our best!" to deal with life and death and to withstand long sleepless hours. ** emo mood ends**

The happy part.. Pictures.. Weeeeee....

 It's the Class of 2010

So there's the collection of my graduations photos, It will be kept here so that when I read back one day ( probably in those day when I am toothless), I would smile remembering the days of me being a fresh grad and all.


" Graduation is just a process, life has it's own never ending lessons, and we should not stop learning from our mistakes."

A shoe shopping experience..

After exams days are ahhhh.... so relaxing . We were free to do whatever we want at anytime at anywhere.. but most of the time I was busy selling stuff.. oh $$ $$ come to me... just joking lahz.

Today we went shoe shopping,searching for Jenq Uei shoes, so we went into several shops in the City Center, Adidas, Mega Sports and Reebok.. So finally in Reebok, we found  super nice pair of shoes with some high tech technologies ( the air will circulate inside the shoes or something), with super nice price.

Out of a sudden I saw one pair of shoes.. woman, purple, high tech, edgy.. viola... suited all of my preference but I didn't buy...Out of joyous I think the shoes has blinded me and make me go insane I saw a bag abandoned on the chair and I thought it was Jenq Uei's Deuter bag that he simply throw on the chair.. so without thinking twice I pick up the bag and carried it..then suddenly some guy came up to me and said ...hmm..I think this is my bag and why u stole my bag...

I went ??!!??!!..then Jenq Uei turned to me and I saw he is carrying his own bag..omigod, my face turned red as a tomato and the two girls (shopkeeper) is laughing so loud there..holy moly ...so embarrassing.

Today is Father's day and I am here writing this post to wish every Dad in the world a very Happy Happy Father's day... and especially to my dad ..the world best dad..

Tomorrow heading to the beach.. Gonna be a red crab instead..

Finally to an end..

... of 6 years med school.

17/6/2010, was the last day of my student life. Didn't realize that TIME DO FLIES. Started to miss student life,the books, the nerve-breaking exams, the endless sleepless night (ok maybe not for the endless sleepless night as more are coming) and I guess I will still miss this place although it is crappy at times but the experience and memories that were accumulated here together with my friends were priceless.

Oh well, back to the exam. Our group 630-633 were the first batch to have exams in Lugovoe hospital. My last paper consist of Obs& Gyn, Surgery and Therapy @ Medicine. The exams of course went through smoothly although there were lots of running through and fro, up and down between buildings to clerk and search for our patient. The practical part were adrenaline pumping and the theory part were all alright. Examiners are super nice and they will be one of those that I will miss in the future.

The exams ended as usual with the result announcing and speech from our dean . Sing Hoon's speech was good  and touching, the whole climax of the exam would be the 4 group of us sang the famous Barney song --- " I love you, You love me.. bla bla bla to the examiners". The examiners were surprised and happy and we ( both the teachers and us) have mixed feelings.

First day being called as Dr. Koh Wen Ming. It sounds so good.. from now onwards I will have to learn to be responsible for all my patients.

Exactly one month before I fly back to Malaysia for good, I week before my grad and less than one week before my parents come. There are so much things to do, more of the cleaning and sorting part, and there are so much of places I wish to visit. So much things to do, so little time..

at last... Congratulation Class of 2010.

I am done with one exam.

Oh yea. And it was two days ago. I am so tired after the exam and the feeling was just like after doing a strenuous set of gym or I have never been sleeping for the past 1 month or two or anything equivalent to it, but anyhow, I had passed it  and this is the happiest part. Now there is one more exam left, the one and only last exam left in my entire student years, despite the fact of it being the last exam, I am still going to hate and dislike it, sigh, never ever learn to like exams. Don't understand why there are some of my friend who love exams.. The adrenaline rush during the process and days before it... the feeling was just unpleasant.


Happier part.. Plans after the exams ( plural because it is a 3-in-one combo consisting of : Surgery, O&G and Therapy aka Internal Medicine) . First thing first. I am gonna sort my things out and clean the room. My fridge buyer is gonna come and collect my fridge on 19th of June ( Hope he abide our deal as I am having a real bad feelings on his honesty) so do the microwave and stuff. Besides that, I will need to do room cleaning for my parents room as they are arriving on the 23rd of June via Turkish airlines.. Excited can't wait to see them..

Can't believe that 6 years passed in a blink of eyes. Reminiscing times when I first step in Simferopol Ukraine on 10th of September 2004 , I was shocked with the condition of my room. It was just a light bulb and 3 beds. ( My gawd!!) but we were too tired so we just changed and sleep. ( There isn't hot water either by that time). The next morning, our first breakfast would be Simfi's one and only one Mc D, I still remember I was having Fillet -O -fish and was really sad. Homesick....

The first meal we cooked is Porridge and all of us never ever exposed to cooking back then poured 1 kg of rice to cooked porridge. Guess what... the porridge burst and overflow and almost flood the room.. ( exaggeration elements were added). Anyway.. this is how one grow with  experience and failure. The is how I survived my 6 years of study here..

Guess I will post a longer story on " My 6 years of life in Simferopol"...

Till then... see ya.

For all my fellow friends who are sitting for their finals.

Good Luck my friends, try your best and pass with flying colors. :)
 

10 things to do before you graduate (Leave Ukraine).

1) Pass all your exams. (Obviously, and it is a must!!) ( Passed one, 2 more to go)

2) Sell off your entire room. ( In the process)

3) Use up all your students privilege. (Students prices, student discount, student lunch, student menu...Whatever) ( Apparently this can't be apply in Ukraine, in Europe it works thou)

4) Take pictures of all the touristy attractions at the place you study. (I always took for granted and never realize how time flies until the few months before I graduate , so a picture in front of Lenin square, Gagarin park, Rynok, and all statues over Simferopol is a must.) ( Did for the Gagarin park part, others still on the pending list..)

5) Eat and taste all the local delicacies of the place you study. (In Ukraine: this goes for Ukrainian borsch, Shaslik ( I will miss this the most), Plov, Lagman, Shurpa, Abivnaya – never learned to like this dish and all sorts of Ukrainian salads) ( Done, done done!!!)

6) To take a picture with the post-war veteran. Oh ya!!( Done and got a kiss on the cheek in return)

7) Eat as much strawberries and cherries as you can. ( Trying my very best to stuff as much of strawberries right now. Cherry season not here yet thou..)

8) To take a picture in front of the University and Surgeon Statue ( Checked and done!!)

9) Must at least visit one out of the seven wonders of Ukraine.( Visited a few and gonna visit a few more this summer)

10) Swim at the freezing black Sea ( stupid, but must try the insane temperature, still can't figure out why the black sea water is freezing.)

Krok Is Over..

Krok is over.. A lot of people will be wondering what the hell is Krok? Krok is actually a MCQ exam which compose of 200 question and in fact it is very IMPORTANT that every Medical Student studying in Ukraine would need to pass in order to successfully graduate as a Doctor.

The questions? Uh well, I don't have any confidence in myself but I just hope for the best. I just want to pass the exam.. Oh god, please grant my tiny wish.

No mood ever since the adrenaline pumping tremendous 4 hours,squeeze habis-habis my hopeless brain to answer the questions. I was literally so "kan cheong" until I keep sweating, my palms are wet ...can't think properly already...

Until question 140 or so, I started to feel sleepy already, I think I entered the last stage of the whole stress cycle -- exhausted stage. Now even worse, no mood watch movie, no mood to eat, no mood to go out and play some more. Sien max!


I'll stop now, apathy dunno what to write already. Till then .. see ya. Be sure to miss me..

Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to the world Greatest Mom... You are the best and we all appreciate what you have done for us since the day we are born.

Just want to let you know that I love you so much and miss you very much too..

A big bear heart to you and hope that you stay happy forever.  Once again Happy Mother's day!!

070510

070510 is the day that marked an end to my student life, an end to med school but not an end to waking up early fml. ( There are plenty more sleep deprived moments in the future for me). Anyway, today ended quite pleasantly despite the fact that I am having a bad headache now. I woke up purposely to blog so that that blogspot 070510 would be marked down and I would remember when I am 90 years old when I read back this post ( If I possibly can read).

My last cycle of the year is Radiology cycle and all we had was a teacher that would only ask us to "copyright or copydraw" the charts on the wall, and leave us in class to rot and die. But, we as usual will talk crap and discuss all sort of nonsense until the teacher cannot stand the noise pollution we are creating and came in several times just to say " students don't talk"..... but what the heck, we are students and after few minutes of quietness, we are back to square one.

Speaking about feelings about last day of class, actually to be honest I don't feel sad/ happy or whatever. I don't know why but all I felt was like arghhh.. school is over and I am so not prepared!

Anyway, holidays starts which is also a public holiday for all Ukrainian as 9/7/10 was theirs Victory day. They won a way which lasted from 1941-1945 and they were very proud of it and make 9/7/10 the day of victorious. Not sure about the year though as this is the year printed in all banners over Simferopol.

Krok is a 10 days away and I better start reading the MCQs.

Short post for now as I am having a bad headache to mend.

My spring break.

Short spring break was over, and these are the 101 things I've done so far:

1) Went to market on the 1^st of May to buy groceries for the week and found out that all eating places are closed on 1^st of May. FML. We ended up eating Shaslik standing. The nice thing to go out on 1^st of May is the entire main street in front of Lenin square was closed and there were music everywhere through loud speaker ( without bass/ subwoofer, it's like the cone shape speaker attached to the lamp post along the streets) blasting Russian Patriotic music. It looks more like a victory day celebration more than a Labor Day celebration to me. Everyone was celebrating: drinking, old couples holding hands walking etc. And this is not my fantasy it really happened in Simferopol on 1^st of May, we didn't know there were such celebration existed on Labor Day and it is really an eye opener. ( More to said, I've taken for granted to rather sleep in such a holiday than walking out of the room for the past 5 years.)


2) I cut Jenq's hair. It's a disaster and he was sad because it turned out to be too short. **guilty**

3) We went to Nikitsky Botanical Garden on Sunday just to catch a glimpse of tulips. I was rather disappointed because most of the tulips was dead (it was off season) already and the garden has nothing more to see other than the tulips part. Other part of the garden is more a like a tropical green forest which I pass by just strolling through, not to mention we need to queue and a 18 grvn = RM 9 just to get into the garden, queue and "fight" to get into the bus driving us to the city center and the bus was packed like sardines with stinky , non bathing Russians. Guess what we all get? Oh yeah, body odors in a generous huge amount. Cut the crap, we went to Yalta.


For you guys who do not know, Yalta is a small seaside town located 2 hours from Simferopol, sad to say it's the no. 1 tourist attraction in Crimea and it was really nice walking by the seaside enjoying the sea breeze and watching  people. It was way better than the garden truly speaking, but what the heck, its tulip and it's once in a lifetime experience (there isn't any chances you get to see tulips in Malaysia) except if there is any flower exhibition or something so as a conclusion, I did not regret. The shopping window shopping was fun with my dear and it was only window shopping because we were too poor to afford any. Crocs, Ripcurl…you name it they got it!


4) The last two days of our holidays were spent in the room resting and watching movies. Finally I got the time to catch up with the movies I haven't watch in ages. Out of the movies that I watched: the stupid ones, the funny ones, love stories etc, there was one that truly capture my heart. "The boy in the striped pajamas" , not going to spoil the movie so if you guys want to know the plot, go watch it your self.

5) Lessen learned when you don't wear sun block . I am a "chocolate" girl with pimples invading my whole face and I truly hate it very much. The best part is grad photo shoot is tomorrow. You will see a ghost tomorrow … damn it.


 

Day out in the park.

It was Sunday, it was a sunny day, it was spring, what more to say a perfect day out in the park!!
ok, I know , I know, there is no one going to park anymore, it's hot, it's "mosquito-y", and there is nothing to see..

Oh well, because I was there to breath the fresh air. Satisfied? No lar, it's because the flowers are  blooming, hence to the park to see flowers.Omigosh, I look like my mom already, got hyped when there is flowers. Am I getting older?

Gagarin park it's said to be unsafe because the skin-heads will beat u up and probably chop u into pieces but so far so good, did not encounter any. (touchwood!!). It was pretty relaxing to just walk at your own pace and to observe people walking and chit-chating, babies playing, children running, I think these are rare in Malaysia nowadays as maybe you walk on the parks you will be shoot by police burglars.

Anyway, to cut things short, it;'s picture time!!

Buzzing Bees doing the 'bee' thing.

What more to say? It's spring !!!

Me by the lake... happy because get to go out with my dear..

Then , we bought this pair of adorable key chain. One for each another... how romantic gayish for him..

Behind, it was our names, engraved in Cyrillic alphabets as a remembrance of Ukraine.










Actually I bought many other things that day too, and obviously not in the park, we went to the center just before we went to the park. Don't know what happen to me that day , crazily buying things. I bought 2 rings : one for my sis and another one for me. But don't know the size suits her or not. Got one pair of earrings.Sigh, actually I got lot's of pairs of earrings already but enough never seems to be in my dictionary or to be exact in a girl's dictionary before. Oh yea, it's a gold earrings and gold is the color of the year . Too bad I didn't took the picture of it, will show u guys next time if got chance.

I am bored , waiting for my dear and we gonna watch movie together. Typical Friday night and I am loving it. What to do we are not the kind of disco person or social person....so watch pirated movies downloaded from the internet is the best entertainment/relaxing  methods for the both of us...^.^

 I am gonna sign off now....

P/s: Spring break is here..lalalala

I’ve been neglecting my dear blog.

This is not an unusual title in fact, it's rather common. Reasons: I am too lazy.

Anyway, it's just a summary of what had happened to me these few weeks.

1) Spring is here. Yay! But weather is cold as winter (not good), hoping for warmer weather but the tulips and cherry blossoms are wonderful!!

2) I am in the last week of classes of my entire STUDENT life. No more classes, no more school bags, no more eating the yucky cafeteria foods, no more bragging, laughing and chit-chating with my classmates, and I am so gonna miss student life.

3) Final exams are near, yet I am so not prepared. Not prepared for working life too, seems like what I've know in this medical field is extremely deficit for me to work as a doctor. I am so scared!!

4)I had lose tract on lots of posts, and will update it real soon I promise.

Till then, see ya

Last 2 months..

 35 days to go before I end my semester, not to said semester but life as a medical student . Going for classes will almost no longer be part of my life, no more long holidays, no more... **arghhhh cannot accept the fact that time-flies***

After 7/5 /2010, it will be a whopping 1 months plus of exams, exams to gain qualification to kill heal, passport to another stage of my life. **emo** Not the stage you thinking lahz. Working stage lahz, it's another experience of life  I guess but I am so not ready for it.

Last few months in Ukraine, Ukraine oh Ukraine, it's the place I spend 6 years in, it's the place where I meet my special one, it's the place where I meet different kinds of people, it's the place that I will miss when I am back in my homeland Malaysia even though sometimes I do hate this place very much, feelings are mixed up between hatred and love but anyway, I believe I will miss this place in the future. The PMS weather, the babushka shouting, the impolite cleaner, the fierce nurse, the lazy inspector, the greedy custom lady etc etc etc.

Anyway... going to stop emo-ing here. Apa-lah, exam also haven't pass start to **emo** what if ( touch wood x 1000) I failed my exam and have to retake 6th year??

Nevermind, I shall keep my next emo post till graduation.

Till then, more outdated post coming up.

Outdated post part 2

It's all about CNY gala dinner.
I know it's quite outdated but I am still going to post no matter you like it or not lalalala...

That day was a Saturday if I am not mistaken and I think girls are super busy preparing for the dinner everyone wants to be in their best . hmm..

 The dinner starts at 7 pm "Malaysian time" i guess and throughout there are continuous non-stop Yum Seng and at one point it really irritates me for some instance...**seeze** cool... cool..
