The Med or The Mad?: War

Tomorrow, it all begins. The exams that we have been preparing for what seems like forever. (obviously over-exaggerating lah haha)

First paper is tomorrow, which is O&G + Paeds written paper. These two subjects take a bloody long time to study, you know!

Second paper is next tuesday, which includes General Practice, Opthalmology, General Medicine and Oncology. Oh no, haven't studied much for this!! AHH!!

Last and scariest is OSCE next friday. 16 stations, 7 minutes each, running one after the other. Definitely going to need the adrenaline to kick in for this one!!

Wish me good luck and that I have the confidence and calmness of mind to deal with all this!

Previously, it had all have been battles but this is WAR!

PS: Wah, banyak-nya exclamation marks in this post! :P

I decided to hold my friends tightly in my heart, but loosely in my expectations of them, allowing them space to grow and to change - with or without me.
Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching.
The uncommon presensation of common diseases is still commoner than common presentation of uncommon diseases.
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
Medicine is the art of humouring the patient while Nature takes its course.
Aikido Quote: When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way.
Life IS a bed of roses.. You just have to survive the thorns to appreciate the flowers.
Good luck is often with the man that doesn't include it in his plans.
I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Fate is only someone's excuse to not take responsiblity for their actions, and their reasons to not make their own choices.
Learning experiences shape what we can become, but it is us who choose what we want to become.
Life may not be the party we hoped for but we might as well dance.
