i started my life as a 2nd year medical student last september, and till now i haven't found any time for me to a rest. I guess the 4 months break before this was for us to prepare ourselves mentally for all these challenges we wil face this year.
first, i had to get myself use to the syllabus in second year which does not cover the theory stuff only, but also, we have to go to wards and start clerking and presenting case. Next, they also integrated something called ''Problem-based learning'' into our curriculum where we were divided into groups of 12 people, and we need to be active in discussion to get points...and most of the commitees of our campus activities are second years. So, who said that 2nd year was ''Honey-moon'' year???.... IT's A LiE!!!!
This time, i thought that finally i could take some rest from the hectic uni life, because it was after our 1st exam in 2nd year....but i was wrong yet again. sedih lo :'(
my break started with a camp in Port Dickson. It's USM collaborative training, where we were exposed to and trained to be rescuers if some disaster were to happen, such as land slide, earth quake and accidents. We had simulations of the real situation there, and we were taught on how to do triage, tagging the victims as red, yellow, green or white(dead), manage the victims, we also get to pose as victims...and and and most interestingly i learnt how to use a walkie talkie!!! haha... ^^
because of this camp, 4 days were minus from my supposingly 9 days holidays... haiz
But it's not bad after all... i've gained quite some 'not-so-camp-related' esperience in fact.. haha>< Going somewhere so far from kelantan for a camp is not so fun if you endure almost 13hours of freaking bus ride there just for the camp.
So, we had some fun at the beach!!!!
and for my 1st time ever, i tried riding this 'Pencil'!! haha
Even i myself would not have believe that i would be so brave to be riding on this thing which will turnover 4 times throwing all riders in the middle of the sea!!! been there, done that.... after this, i won't be trying it again, once is enough...phew!!!
there was another thrill ride we tried over there. they call it the 'Doughnut'... same thing, once is enough... the side effects of that deadly 'doughnut' -- hurt my neck muscles--and is enough to last for 4 days... ><
i was so exhausted after the camp, with injuries all over.. thinking that i could rest when i get back home. but, maybe rest was not meant for me.. while i was on the bus from kl central to lcct, i got a message rushing me to contact the IPG people about the upcoming CF family day.. :( i felt so sad!!! sedih betul lo.. :'( '' i mean, please la, be more understanding....i haven't even reach home yet.'' i felt so unfair!!! people already resting at home, and perhaps nothing to do for 3 or more days already, i'm just beginning my holiday!!... urgh!! speechless....
Next day, another sms to remind me of the things i need to know as the ketua station for the upcoming Healthex, speaking of which... being a 'ketua' which i do not want to be :'( all i did was being absent for the 1st meeting, and i wasn't absent for no reason, i was SICK okay....and tadaa!! lesson learnt: NEVER be absent for any meeting!!!!
also, there's also things to prepare for the chinese cultural night event. PROMO video!!! well, it's actually for the sake to pain more experience, which will be useful for our cf media crew :)
besides i was woken up few minutes before 8am this morning by CF family day comittee asking regarding the IPG participants again.. sedih o... :'( awal-awal pagi sudah dibangunkan....
and all these events are coming soon, March and April... haiz, i don't know how to manage all these stress all at the same time.. :( even my break which i thought i could put down all these 'burdens' and at least relieve stress for a while, is GONE!!!
There's only one way i know i could survive this.. and only HE can help me.. ''I can do all things through CHrist who gives me strength''-- Philipians 4:13
I don't know how i'm going to handle all these things all at once, but all i know is to rely on God. To tell the truth, i really dread going back to campus, and i am reluctant to face all these responsibilities ahead of me... i feel stressed up whenever i thought of any of these things, as long as they are not settled...haiz.. lesson learnt: NEVER just say Yes, Ok, No problem...ask for time to consider
Holiday=no holiday... but what else can i do??? haiz... GO back , face the problem, settle it and Move on... Pray that God will grant me the strenght that i'll need for this long battle.. Amen. ^^
