another subject picisan? traumatology ~

after 2 days of traumatology cycle, it seems that we used most of our time in the class playing BINGO and battleship, got busted by the MMC and embassy gang, played more BINGO, watched videos on war medicine and managing patient with cardiac arrest..not sure how much we’ll learn from this subject..from the name, it sounds like a cycle where we get to see some interesting, fresh injuries and how to manage them..but so far, nothing fascinating has popped out..maybe it’s just a cycle that has been fitted into our schedule so we have no free time to just relax in the room and snooze all day..i hope the cycle would be more interesting after this..so far, what i found was interesting was when i saw the twin sister of our previous Neurology Professor (Vera Naumovna) on the board in the Traumatology Department. Her twin sister’s name is Anna Naumovna.. (^_^) after like 2 hours of waiting,the skin graft procedure that kok king and i were supposed to watch today was somehow not done/re-scheduled or smth..dunno what’s it gona be like tmrw..we’ll just have to wait and see ~

Our diaries!

After 2 weeks of hustle and bustle for our opthalmology cycle, We managed to pass our exam today! Ah…Wat a relief, hehe, after 2 weeks for the preparation, and our poor Nantha who missed his Deepavali celebration yesterday, we made it finally. All 7 of us, except Ka Keat, ‘Hey, y u din come for the exam today ler?’ ’ Puas kami tunggu u’, Anyway, I’m here wish u good luck ya for ur coming exam.

We learned a lot from this cycle, especially eyes diseases and also lots of new terms that we never heard before…And also special thanks to our lecturer and our teacher, Natalia Yulievna, we ended up our cycle without saying a good bye to her because she was busy with an operation today while we were doing our exam.

And here are some moments to share…from Group A

 

The lenses that we used to test patient visual acuity, we have here the lenses with+ve Diopters, with -ve Diopters and also lenses for astigmatism. We did all the test in a ‘Dark Room’.

Measurement for the projection of the eyes.

This is our ‘white mouse’ for the 1st day, our Kumar, Prince of the Garden! In order to check the eye structures, we need to dilate the pupil. Thx to our very best photographer, Kok King, and u can see that his pupils dilated.

Slit lamp, a binocular with a light source, use to check patient’s anterior chamber of the eyes.

Our ‘professional’ opthalmologist, Ka Keat checking the visual field of Kumar.

Our beauty, aiming Kok King’s eye, looking for the retina image in indirect way. Assisted by Ieja and Ka Keat…

 Our ‘bresident’ looking King’s eye with direct opthalmoscope!!!

And the one we never missed, photo taking session!

The suture, for the eye microsurgery

And the intraocular lenses…for the replacement of the natural human lens, we were lucky bcoz we managed to see all, but for the future ones who going for the cycle, I cannot guarantee that u will see all of them, coz we lost 1 lens and broke 1 lens, hehe…

The end, for the opthalmo cycle, looking forward for the new cycle tmr, traumatology…

ALL THE BEST PEEPS~!

got an extra hour of sleep last nite (daylight saving day~!) and woke up with a sore throat and somewhat discomfort,ulcer-like feeling on the gums..just got bored…thought of writing smth up before i get back to studying ophthalmo for exam on tuesday..ok…done writing smth already…  =p  back to studying.

GOOD LUCK guys~! (^_^)

Why do the chicken cross the road?

I just read this email (from Peter) and it’s so extremely funny that I have to post it NOW!!!

Read on!

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MCCAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because it recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from Day One! — that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn’t about me…….

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

LEE KUAN YEW:
We have installed crossing lights at all traffic junctions. All chickens should follow instructions while crossing the road.

SAMY VELLU:
Gantry points have been set up. All chickens wanting to cross the road are advised to top up their cash cards first.

NAJIB RAZAK:
What chickens? I don’t know any chickens… especially those from Mongolia .

ABDULLAH BADAWI:
We have to be fair to all chickens. Some want to cross over the road, some do not. …….. Zzzzzz …….zzzzzz ……. Now what were we talking about? Ah yes, chickens. We will form a Royal Commission to decide whether it is right for them to cross the road.

MAHATHIR:
Now even non-bumi chickens want to cross the road! How can they disrespect and disregard apa nama bumi chickens? We must be allowed to cross over first. It is our special privilege and no one can challenge that!

ANWAR:
We have enough chickens waiting to cross over in September.

SHAHRIR:
All foreign chickens are welcome in Malaysia but they must not cross over the road within 50km of the border.

‘Winged’ musings

With love’s light wings did I o’perch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold the love out, And what love can do, that dares attempt

-William Shakepeare in Romeo and Juliet

The literary subject can be really funny sometimes.. imagine wings growing out of Romeo’s heart, as portrayed here by Shakespeare, as it wanders over the vast gardens to reach Juliet.

Even in biblical terms, as described in Isaiah 40:31:
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

wings are described as an object with which we can soar, to fly with…

Over the course of history, wings have always been an epitome of intricate, delicate beauty… of a profound conception only heaven upholds. Which explains why angels have wings, or so we believe.

baby+wings = cupids

human+ wings = angels

grandmother +wings =fairy tooth mother

elephants + wings = dumbo

sculptured stone creatures +wings = gargoyles

Note just how easy it is to metaphorically gratify sense of mystique by just giving them ‘wings’!

Angelic cat, with wings sprouting from its sides

As far as human attempts to fly had been since Wright brother’s first flight in 1903, there is stil, however, no attempts of a man physically growing his/her own wings!

Well, something else came up yesterday, admist waiting in quiet rows for our turns to witness a mitral valve replacement and an aorta-femoral shunt operation in the cardiosurgery department.

Looks like King here, has his own wings to grow too..

(It was actually the result of the bony prominences of his scapulas pressed against the white wall through the surgical suit =)

Seems to me that surgeons, after all, do have the ability to soar to great heights.

So, anyone in for a surgery today?

Listen Up Group A!

Good news for group 531-A!!!!!

2 roubles of free photocopy service will be provided when Uncle Lim makes a deep sigh (haih…)

Be attentive and catch when he makes a deep sigh for 2 roubles of free photocopy!!!

Go go shopping…

星期四一早, 我打开冰箱…哗! 只剩下半棵白菜, 葱和祘, 更是寥寥无几…噢! 我的天啊! 又是背着菜篮上街去的时候了…

 

这就是我们在这留学的生活啦! 读书, 买菜, 煮菜, 洗衣, 当然, 还少不了娱乐啦! 有时我也很羡慕那些在祖国就读的学生…吃饭时, 可打包, Mamak挡坐到天亮都没问提. 当然想家时, 就可回家啦…

 

我们…其实还算过得很好. 为了生存, 我们在这学会了很多生活技能…其中, 厨艺, 就是我们的必备条件…嘻嘻! 成功煮到一些美味的佳肴, 那种满足感, 可称得上至高无上啊!

 

下了课, 我们一行人, 嘉杰, 国庆, Rose, Nantha, Farah, 化身为 ‘师奶’, 到我们上课不远的菜市买菜…那天的天气好冷, 打约只有2-3度… 加上衣物又没加厚…没办法嘛! 菜完了就要买啊! 不然, 就得吃西北风了嘛!

 

好久没有一起这样购物了, 买了些蔬果, 我们就浩浩荡荡的回宿舍了. 在一起购物的那个时光, 真让人回味无穷啊!

 

Thursday, early in the morning, I found out that there’s nothing left in my fridge. Gosh! It’s groceries shopping time again!

 

Haih…tat’s our life here…In order to survive, we need to learn lots of surviving skills…Cooking will be the most essential one…hehe! Not like in Malaysia ma, if we lazy to cook o anything, we can go out and eat. But, we enjoy cooking also…it’s not easy to prepare a dish, during the process, we manage to enjoy the sense of satisfaction when we succeeded .

 

After class, we rushed to the market nearby to pick up some goods…5 of us went together, K.K Tan, Farah, Nantha, Kok King and Rose…

 

It’s cold that day, around 2-3c and when the wind blow worsen the condition, smore we din wear thick ma!

 

But we enjoy the time being together, it’s been a long time that we din spent the time together d…hehe!

Autumn dream…秋之梦

When the leaves turn from green to yellow,

our friendship remains the same.

当树叶从绿去黄，

我们的友谊依然不变。

When the leaves fall off from the yellow trees,

our friendship never shred.

当落叶纷飞凋谢，

我们的友谊永不分离。

When the leaves lay on the ground,

our friendship bud is blooming.

当落叶铺盖大地，

我们的友谊花蕊正绽放。

When the weather turns colder,

our friendship strengthens.

当气候变得更冻，

我们的友谊更稳固。

When the chirping birds are busy migrating,

our friendship has never evaporated.

当叽咋的候鸟忙往南迁移，

我们的友谊从不蒸发。

8 of us are just like a small family, clinging on to each other, and share our laughters together.

我们8人就像小小的家，互相依靠，分享搞笑的情结。

8 of us are one and nothing could come between us.

我们8人合为一。谁也阻挡不到我们之间的友情。

I love you, Group A!!

A组，我爱你！！
