Hello everyone... How about someone keep us up to date about all our batchmates... like: Where you are right now? Specialising? Married or not? Any children? I think that would help to keep us (by that I mean me hehe) up to date and also to stay in touch...

I think by now, our M203 batchmates have all graduated. Most have gone on to their internships/housemanships. I just wanted to congratulate all of you, and wish you the very best in your respective careers wherever you may be.I miss the good old days in IMU. Living across the road in Vista C. Going out for mamaks late into the night especially nearing the oh-so-frequent exams. Dim sum at Sri

One of the main attraction of australia to work in Australia, aside from the amazingly short hours, is the strength of the dollar compared to countries close to home...one dreams of working the years, and then shipping the money back, with a x3 sign after whatever you have saved...images of bangalows, beach houses, continental cars, early retirement.........Then the financial meltdown came along,

One might wonder what is the criteria for being conferred Datukship in Malaysia? There are 13 states in Malaysia and it seems each of the ceremonial heads of states have to power to confer titles to whom they see fit...and judging by the pages and pages of names being given Tan Sri's, Dato's, Datuks and what not's, at the rate we are going, almost all Malaysians will be conferred something sooner

I know i'm at risk of turning this into a political blog, but man politics in Malaysia is interesting isn't it?Now this one, my friends, is the tale of petrol prices.

For those who know me well enough would know I am one of those who has a burning desire to return back home to Malaysia, God willing, after I gain enough experience abroad. People often ask, "what so good about M'sia that you want to go back?" My answer? Well, as all good Msians we will start with food of course, then of course family and friends come into mind, good weather................and I

Both of it have a funfare atmosphere, of extreme entertainment value, filled with clowns, monkeys and what nots singing and dancing, fishing for your attention.Except that sadly, one has a bearing on the future of Msian's that is..

When a consultant in the SGH picks a topic for teaching, he/she briefly explains the reason he/she picked the topic for the week. Usually, because he/she came across a case, or read a new journal article on the subject.Well, I'm writing about chavs because I'm living with them. Not literally, in the same house with them- Thank God!! - but am in the same neighbourhood with them, ie. a council

"Tan Sri Dr Koh has lost his Parliamentary seat!""BN concedes Penang to the opposition!""Samy Vellu has lost his parliamentary seat""The opposition forms government by simple majority in Selangor and Perak""BN denied 2/3 majority!"Mention any of this statements just a day ago, most Malaysian's would have probably snickered, laughed and dismissed it as mere fantasy.

As I was about to examine a patient today, I got chastised by my consultant."Daniel, ALWAYS, ALWAYS examine a patient on the right side!"Given the fact there was a damn trolley at the right side of the patient, I thought being on the left side would be alright but NOOOOOoooooo.........Which brings me to my topic for discussion, being a lefty in a right world.Unfortunately i'm not one of the most

Responses from DoH regarding the Tooke review. The review itself is too long to read but a particular response from DoH seem encouraging for those that graduated from UK uni."We recommend that overseas students graduating from UK medical schools should be eligible for postgraduate training as should refugee doctors with the right to remain in the UK.

This started off as a comment to Daniel's previous post, but after a while, I decided that it was lengthy enough to deserve a proper space on this blog.I have no problems with a 2 years housemanship program. The current program is 20 months long (comprising of 5 rotations, each lasting 4 months), so this new proposal is merely a 4 months extension and not a full year's. At the same time, I think

I am typing this post from the library in Miri General Hospital, where I am doing a 3-week elective. Figured that I would find some things are done here differently compared to the UK.In the UK, when a person comes to you, saying that he/she hears things or sees things that other people can't, there is usually not much doubt in anyone's mind that the person's got schizophrenia.Who believes in

Among other exciting trivia, I learnt from my O&G attachment that condoms, as latex-based products, were rendered fairly useless by oil. Which is food for thought - and I don't mean the strawberry-flavoured-condom-type food, either - considering oil is the base for quite a number of lubricants products, such as Vaseline, aromatherapy oils, baby oil...And, as I recently found out, lipstick.As part

Wahai rakan-rakanku yang terserempak dengan ku sini,Biarkan ku ceritakanmu Hikayat Laksmana Chin dan Puteri.Laksamana Chin yang asalnya Seremban,Tertemu Puteri suatu hari di jamuan.Bukan hari-hari Laksamana ternampak gadis jelita,Apatah Puteri yang menyerlah bagaikan pelita.Cepat-cepat Laksamana menghampiri Puteri,Sebelum Puteri menghilang diri.Belum kering berkapal dari bawah bayu,Sudah terpikat

I can't remember the last time I put down anything here on M203 Diary. I may have a new home now, but I kinda miss this place. It must be the template; dull grey and unimaginative white, with a picture of many, many heads up top. Dazzling.Or maybe its not the template, and I'm just a sentimental dude.

Apparently, all medics are depraved, sex-mad perverts if Southampton's Medics Revue is anything to go by. The Medics Revue is basically a charity musical spoof put up annually by medical students, complete with an in-house band/orchestra also made up of medical students. (It helps when one of the mature students has a degree in music.)The title is always a huge secret, which is only revealed

I went through my first night on call last Wednesday at the psychiatric hospital which I’m currently attached to. Psych isn’t something I particularly fancy, so the thought of having to sacrifice a night of S&S (study and sleep to the uninitiated) to assess patients didn’t seem like a very inviting prospect to me. After finishing up in the wards I checked out the call room which I was going to

The ever famous response to a stressor. Your pupils dilate, so that you can see your opponent better or for the way out. Your heart rate goes up, so that oxygen and other nutrients gets pumped to every muscle of your body to throw in your punches or give your legs a little haste. Blood gets channeled to away from your guts to the muscles, you won't think of food or hunger, but only to smite your

Convocation....amazing wasn't it? new hairstyles, quirky photos, big bear hugs, that couple-of-seconds of fame, beaming parents and not to mention, that last 'political-totally-tak-relevant' speech ....i was just smiling to myself, and thinking outloud, with akmal to my right, listening. i told him, if only patients knew the REAL us....crazy, cramming-at-the-last-minute, caffeine-addict medical

I always had the little label at the bottom right of my blog indicating proudly that I am one of the M203 bloggers, which in actual fact, I have yet to post ANYTHING before this. Since I was INVITED by Rajinder to take part in blogging in our only outpost of communication, guess I ought to start to post stuff more regularly here.Convocation just ended but it's still so vivid to us and I am

Sitting in my room living my boring life as usual...as usual i browse through what kenJ has to say again here...haha...I realized I wanted to do this so many times now but just didn't bring myself around to do it...laziness i guess? I do like reading ppl's blogs "patting" bout what other ppl are doing...bit sad our M203 blog doesn't see much action...so I though i'll add my 2 cents worth into it.

I'm talking about lecture notes, and 123909545934 is really an arbitrary set of random numbers i made up. If you did a real count, it would probably end up closer to 123989604958.So i'm in trouble. This isn't the first time, won't be the last as far as I'm concerned. I'm fairly sure it's the looming threat of failure that tempts me to perhaps consider studying as a solution. As yet, my intuition

To this day, I still don't know why.I remember vividly the haunting echo of the security phone resonating through the hallway, penetrating the room at the end. I was in that room, pillow over my head. I ignored it, half hoping that it was a dream, half hoping that it wasn't a nightmare.

Being resident m203, uh.. whatever it is that i am, I certainly feel obliged to say something. I haven't, because I thought this was one of those things that would just blow over. Evidently, it has not. In fact, more random people have cropped up, all Fs blazing, and things have started to become personal. Naturally, as resident m203, uh.. u know, it is only my obligation to poke fun at it.And to

Some of you may have noticed the recent activity on the Tag-board and the comments on the post by YP entitled Better?and the Nerdville by Sheena.For those of you who aren't aware of what exactly was posted in the Tag-board, the following is the entire history of the Tag-board from the first post by the Troll till the last post as of 1.40am on May 17, 2006 (UTC +8):YP: YK, do u wanna be one of

It’s been awhile. A month actually, since Easter began, when I thought I’d take a break. Fully expecting the blog to die like a bug in an autoclave (or collapse like a house o' cards, for those who hate my medical made-up metaphors), quite the opposite seems to have happened. What’s more bizarre is the paradox; that there is an increase in readership when, save the grace of YP who should afford

Did anyone other than KR and myself notice the troll(s) on the tagboard? Somehow, I think it's all by the same person (nevermind the different universities "they" claim to be from.) simply because there can't be that many immature fools appearing here at the same time, can there?I don't even know if Mr Troll is from whichever university he claims to be from... but well, it doesn't

Monday last week, I turn up almost an hour late for tutorial. Monday this week, and I’m almost an hour early. A truly bizarre anomaly. After ruling out laziness, and technical issues with my alarm clock of a handphone, I set out in search of an answer. I conducted a mini research task with a team of one. I also had enough on the budget for a bag of chips and a bottle of coke. Eventually, I

Starting today, I begin a countdown to my longest official holiday yet, since arriving at Newcastle. Easter break begins 14 days from now, and goes on for another 14 days, and I can’t wait! Apparently, it's a very important Sunday. Somebody got resurrected, started giving away free chocolates, then disappeared. Commentators on the matter suggest that he either went home to look for his Daddy, or

I've updated the links of the M203 Bloggers on the sidebar with the addresses that I have. If I missed out any, please let me know, and I'll add it. For those of you who want the M203 Blogroll for their blog but don't want to get their hands messy with (much) coding, you can get the code here. Just insert the code into your sidebar and it'll appear there.:)

Prompted by attempts by other bloggers to elucidate criticism, I've made up my very own Nohari Window. It has a list of negative personality traits that you can use to describe me. If you're wondering where my Johari Window (with positive modifiers) is, it ain't there. It's a way to pick up cheap compliments, so it really isn't as much fun.Go do it. Tell me who you are and how much you hate me.

Another weekend goes by my dull, anti-social life. Eating dinner all alone is no longer a shocking revelation, rather a common occurrence that I’ve come to terms with. I’ve learned that it’s a lot harder to make new friends if you can’t drink. My excuse is that I’m gonna be writing an appraisal on clinical guidelines known as ‘snap’. ‘A’ is for alcohol, and I still don’t see a reason why they

Some of us are in Aus, some in NZ, some in M'sia, others going to UK and Canada and US really really really soon... and let's face it, no matter what kind of "Ok, I'll write!!!" "Sure! We'll email!" promises we make, when we're really busy, we'll most likely forget about it and before you know it, the email address or phone number or snail mail address you have is already outdated.So what

After the whole thing about me posting too much, I gave Anonymous a reminder about anonymity. This obviously led to a hunt for the corresponding post that would reveal the error in all clarity, so that (s)he might see the error in his/her ways, and be filled with a renewed sense of purpose to seek redemption.Anyway, as I trenched through the copious amounts of information that has made up M203

Two things are happening:1) I'm moving out2) I feel isolatedThese two events aren't really related. Moving out means i'm nearer the uni. But it also means i'm left to fend for my spoilt and clueless self. Which is bad because i've never really lived out on my own before. But its good, because staying two half-hour bus rides away from uni is keeping me further away from the things I want. And I

I've recently been exposed to all manner of florid depictions of diseased skin, as would be expected during dermatology week. Eventually though, I realized that I could've passed off some of the pictures as my own, so I've got a lot to be thankful for, growing up with atopic eczema. Other than that, I feel sorry for the people who get some of these drastically mutilating diseases. Most of the

Three of us, a junior, a non-IMU friend and I, were out at a mamak a few days ago when the junior said certain things that I felt I should share.We were talking about orientation when...Junior: "Your batch left some very large shoes to fill. I think... and I'm not the only one... that no other batch currently in IMU can fill your shoes."Me: "Huh? We didn't even orientate your batch."Junior: "No,

And I’m a whole season late. It’s Chinese freakin' New Year, yet I still prefer Christmas songs, because at least I can understand what they're singing about. Though I think its safe to say that, when you break it down, CNY music simply boils down to “prosper in all prosperity during this prosperous new year”. And you’d think after all these years, listening to the same music over and over again…
