Medical Stuffs...

We have this project which I have to do after exam called Student Selected Component (SSC) which is more or less like this thing we did back in IM, Special Study Module (SSM). It is a 5-weeks research study where we get to do any research topic we want - for eg last time in my 2nd year, I did a research on Obesity Prevention Program in Primary Schools in Brunei. So we are allowed to do this SSC anywhere we want, Edah and Syuk are going to do theirs in Brunei while me, I've decided to do mine here, in Glasgow. Bukan inda mau balik or anything, but I thought it would be wiser for me to do this here, 'widening my horizon', plus I've done this before in Brunei, so why not in Glasgow. Anyhow, I'm going back to Brunei for my electives jua.

Decision made. I'm staying for another month to do this. Next is choosing the topic. Actually, I want to do something related to Obs and Gyne, self-proposed my own topic. Regretfully, I've been "busy" with other things, so I resort to choosing the modules the medical schools provided instead. My first option was Gynecological Cancer Research --> which I did get!!! Surprised and speechless I was, because I'm sure there were hundreds others who want this as well, but I got it. So I was happy and super duper excited you know with this news...but unfortunately, the good happy me died when I was told that the supervisor cancelled the module because they're having some dept and staff changes and hence weren't able to accomodate me! WAWAWAWA...To make things worst, my 2nd and 3rd options were cancelled too! WAWAWAWA...

Later on, I emailed the coordinator, asking for modules which are conducted in a hospital nearby. Seriously, I don't want to be doing a project which requires me to travel and commute long distance. If i've known this, I would have done this in Brunei inda ja? So there I was, emailing this Catherine lady, almost as if pleading to give me modules at nearby hospital. When i did got her email, she gave me this list of modules left available, and thank god...i mean really thank GOD I got few good options. So now, I've got everything sorted - I'll be doing something on Rheumatology and Connective Tissue Disease particularly Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). It's not that bad really...infact more organised than my former module. And good thing about it, I get to go to the hospital via shuttle bus - meaning its free!!! LOL.

Anyway, I know this one kinda boring to read but i thought it might be useful for those who are doing medicine as well. Afterall, my blog is called Farah's Anatomy and Physiology...so I'm sure ppl were expecting something medical out of this blog.

Bah eyh, gotta go. Need to go to library do my report :(

Horror Movies Marathon

It's Monday. It's the start of the week which I promised myself to start my revision. I will. Later when the sun's down :P

I just had a resuscitation sessions this afternoon with Edah @ Victoria Infirmary. It was alright, less intense than I had expected it to be. Revisited the Basic Life Support including the use of Ambo mask and defibrillator and also had a feel of how the OSCE Resuscitation will be tested. Apparently the medical students here were not asked to go for some sort of BLS / First Aid Training like those that were required when I was in IM. Owh well, a good revision for us i supposed. It turned out my BLS certificate expires this month!


Owh yea, almost forgot what I wanted to blog about. Last weekend, I've been watching a series of horror movies LOL. Watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose - a good horror movie, didn't get to watch this last time and was fascinated how good the actress were...gosh...scary. Even watched bits and pieces of the original exorcism movie - The Exorcist, which was equally good. The funny thing is that watching the exorcism was bad enough to scare me and I still crave for malay horror movies. Seen Anak, the movie by Erra Fazira, not that scary la, reminds me of Ju-On but some scary scenes still stucked with me :S What else...watched one zombie-ish movie, and few other malay horror movies that I've seen before. The marathon was getting to me that it went to a point where my guy friends had to accompany me to go to the loo! (nothing kinky, jadi bodyguard dluar pintu saja hahaha). During those 3 days of horror marathon, I have been sleeping with companies...I wonder how it would be tonight .. :S happy happy thoughts...

Stories yet to be told...

I know...I didn't post anything about Paris. That's because after Paris, internet was down, and by the time it was up and running, I was busy entertaining some friends who came to visit Glasgow and as days goes along, I've run out of the mood to blog about it. Excuses...that's what I'm doing now.

Paris was lotsa fun - as you can see from the pictures I've uploaded on facebook recently. One complained why there's not a lot of pics of myself - that's because I haven't got the habit to take lotsa pics of myself yet. When I do take vain pics of myself, there must be someone, anyone, who would pop out in the pics. LOL. I have yet to upload more pics from my friends.

Paris is how I pictured it to be, although, to be honest, it wasn't as romantic as I thought it would be. Adalah...occasionally hehehe. Best thing about it is travelling with your friends...it's been a while since I've had a fun-tastic trip. Oooowh!!!! I've got to tell you this one - I've been french-ed (meaning flirted) by 3 french guys!!!! LOL. It was freaky, but weirdly something that I'm proud of hahaha. 

Anyway, if anyone would like to know more - just ask away either through my blog post board / msn or simply comment thro' the pics ;)

Bye Bye Easter~

It's 8:17 am and I am up and ready to go to uni...in 30 minutes.  My easter break was officially over yesterday, fortunately we only had afternoon Plenary sessions, so at least I can still get the pleasure to wake up late :) Was still in holiday mood, couldn't find my strength and source of motivation to get started especially when everyone around you is still having their holiday - well supposedly, its revision week.

I figured you will see a lot of me this time around because when i procrastinate, i blog. LOL. I think almost everyone has started their revision because apparently my msn is pretty boring at the moment and my bodyclock seems to be corrupted especially since the daylight is getting longer. You see, I'm a night person, and seeing some daylight when it's already 8pm has caused me to "think" it is still early, and when it's dark, by then it's already quite late, like 10/11pm - and at these times, I am still up alert active motivated energetic, so how would you expect me to be alert and motivated to start the next day when I am up all night with that level of energy? 

Told you, when I procrastinate, I blog. Even if it means to blog about nonsense.

Later then...

Back From Paris~

She's Back!!!

:D
