As usual, slept and slept and slept................my life i guess. Hey, can't blame me. The TV got all picky and only let me play my PS2 in black and white vision and there aren't any interesting stuffs for me to do.

Watched a food documentary programme today on AFC and saw how they cooked the legendary "10 bird turkey". Yes, 10 BIRDS in a turkey. Practically they stuffed birds such as chicken, duck, goose, pigeons and so on into one giant turkey and roast it =) Doesn't look that appetizing to me though.

And found out one thing today...........................i haven't brushed my teeth in 5 days >=) No, i am not dirty. Just that.....................i somehow forgot to brush them everytime.................signs that i am aging?

Firstly, let me rant a little again. Overstaying in KL AFTER the exams is not a good idea at all. Just imagine, one by one your friends are leaving the place back to their hometowns, the one living further away won't come to Sunway without a reason and the one close by, well, if there are enough with your fingers to count, can't do much.

To cut it short, i stayed back in KL for 10 days after my last paper. End up moving my stuffs in just 2-3 days, other days spent going out lepak or CC with the guys until we are really shorthanded and finally, the final few days, spent mostly back at my hostel, staring blankly at my laptop while my other stuffs are being moved to my new one. Right till the last day..................a phone came. An invitation to CC =) And this time we really broke the record. Previously we managed to play till 3am, but this time, 5am =P What better way to waste time. Back hostel, took a quick bath, then went to bed..................without pillow and blanket cause all were being moved =_="

Went to take a taxi at around 2pm to LCCT. The last time, those taxi guys charged me RM70 per trip and i was disgusted by their actions thinking i am foreign students. This time, they charged my RM65............and when i argued with them in AUTHENTIC MALAYSIAN MALAY, the agree to lower it till RM50 @_@

Off i go to the airport, but it was still too early. My plane was at 5pm. So had to walk around, sat in Coffee Bean and ordered an iced coffee and a German Cheese cake while reading today's newspaper. Then when i checked in, settling down while rolling out my laptop, suddenly a Pakistan man sat in front of me. Not long, he turned to me and started to ask me some stuffs that i don't really understand (he speaks in Pakistan...........or who knows what) and replying him in decent manner. He then suddenly sat beside me, but i kind of ignored him most of the time. Safety first. Who knows, he might suddenly stick a knife behind me and take me as his hostage to hijack a plane. So the best way is to have as little contact as i could. Well, i don't really get close to anyone during my air travels primarily for my safety. But this guy was persistant. He followed me all the way (luckily we sat differently on the airplane).

Reached KK.............nice. Long time no see, at least for more than a month. But this time, my family was not there to greet me. Must be cause i messaged them earlier that the plane got delayed (waited 35minutes on the plane due to some technical problems. Kind of freak me out when i saw the flight engineer went in and then the pilot went out and so forth). They did not forget me though, thats at least what i wanted.

However, stuffs went not that well back at home. Something's wrong my the TV and whenever i played PS2, it went all black and white. How could i play with that vision? All the available PC games are old...................and there are not much new stuffs...............and whats with my sleeping habits nowadays? Ended up sleeping about 12 hours or more per day. You can see me sleeping on the couch, you can see me sleep when i drop back to my bed, you can see me sleeping almost anywhere.

Well, that's at least until i start my training at SMC next month. Just hope i won't fall asleep during my job though

Kk, this title is the same as the previous one. "Why?" you'd ask even when my exams are over? Then let me answer you. What is the 2nd most dreaded thing that you would encounter after the exams??? If you don't know, then you must have been a goodie good kid who is smart and hardworking + study like stone everyday. If you know, then you are right, it's the release of my exam results.

Scheduled to be released at 30th 12am AUST --------> 29th 10pm MAST, i bet there would be lots of my coursemates and friends wetting themselves out. You got the killer Instru for Biotech students and you got the doomsday anatomy for BioMed students, and as for double degree students like me, we got BOTH to worry about.

Many would say "Not to worry about it, the lecturer sure pass you one", but i don't think so. A subject by a lecturer leaving next sem and another subject by a group of lecturers from UKM who employed their sucky government uni syllabus, are not bright prospects for our results.

And yeah, all the results should be calculated and out already, could only officially be known on the above date. What a sad sad day for us all. If i need to retake subjects, i don't mind other subjects, but not this 2 cause Instru is a really stupid subject and who-knows-why it is a core subject in our campus. In Aus campus, it is only a bloody elective. As for anatomy, i really can't stand the lecturer's styles.

But enough of the worries, i am going back to KK tomorrow =P I made a terrible mistake in thinking that i need more time to pack up my stuffs to move to the other unit, but instead, it's all done in less than 2 days............................ so practically i only wasted my time hanging out with my friends to movie (Balls of Fury is funny, yet retarded. Bewoulf is interesting, yet still need some improvements), and most of all, in CC.

I am practically almost all alone here since all my outstation friends went back to their hometown while those living in the KL vicinity won't come to Sunway unless there are stuffs to do. Pretty much sums up how i am faring now until tomorrow. Boring all the way.

During my exam periods, you would see me haggled, smelly, messy with unkempt hair. I would have not shaved until it really gets too long. I won't even care about my hair. Sometimes, you could see me wearing the same clothes for days, the record in which i hold, 4 days =P Bath? Almost non-existant activity unless i really reeked too much. I would be ordering lots of food outside, better than walking back and forth to the kopitiam which would waste me 20-30 minutes walking time. My laundry would be piling up, and the room would be full of coffee aura. The best of all, you would see a lifeless me walking back and forth, sitting idly on the chair or lying on the bed, with at least a book and a pencil on both my hands.

And now, after the exam....................................................let me admit it, i am damn, very very damn bored. Going back to KK on this 23rd, but i am wondering why i placed it so late. Yes, i need to pack up my stuffs and move to the other blocks, but would it take that long? Moved about 80% of stuffs already, and all this were done during night time (less people, less eyes looking at my messy stuffs.......................and yes, they are not in boxes. Boxes are rare comodities in my area).

Watched a dozen of movies, dozens of anime and whats more, catched up with Fairy Tails and D Gray Man manga that i'd put on hold when i began to be darn busy this sem. And right now? Yup, going to CC later. Kind of nice when you get closer to friends around KL. At least you won't be boring and alone ya' know, unlike my first sem =P

Accidentally played with something that i should not had done. Thinking i am so "expert" in blogging, play play with the HTML stuffs and end up messing so many darn things up.

Anyway, managed to put things back in place.................i guess.

Apart from that, added photos of my entire semester 3.

Lets begin from the first week of my exam. There is nothing much. I knew that my Physiology would be first up, then 3 days later it would be my Cellular Metabolism and another 1 day later, my Instrumental Analysis. Since it was packed in my first week of exam, i started to concentrated off more on Physiology, Cell Met and Instru. I have no time to do any revision for Anatomy at first.

As the exam drew closer, i knew that i need to concentrate more on 3 topics for my Phy instead of studying all 4, so i decided to study up Endocrinology, Reproduction and Exercise first. The first paper was not much of a problem. Then came the danger part, Cell Met and Instru in just 1 day apart, which is a big no no. I have not much of a problem with Cell Met as i can crap about more or less, but Instru is not. Its either you know it or you are dead.

But as the Cell Met subjects did not have any lecture notes on it, we have to fully rely on the textbook, and that meant that we have to study everything in the textbook. K, no prob. Right until that exam day, i never managed to study finish everything at all. At the end, left some blanks in the exam paper. But even when i do know the answers, i don't think i would have enough time to write it down anyway. No one had anticipated it to be so long.

Then came the Instru. This was the hell subject as the Biotech students have lots of time to study well since they have no exams as yet while most of the BioMed students was already darn tired from the first 2 papers, and it doesn't went anywhere well since that we are unable re-revise anything in time. This subject requires total understanding and memorization, and that was something many of us was unable to do.

Fine, i don't care. After that, we had a 5 day period before our Physio paper 2. Good, i decided to fully understand and read thoroughly the last topic on GIT. Who knows, this topic was so darn hard. Took me about 3 days just for this topic. Luckily, that papers was somehow, the easiest exam paper of all.

Then, we had another 6 day period before our Anatomy paper. Yes, it would be good since we have more time to study. But in a way again, no, it is not that beneficial to us since our exams had been dragging on far too long. We are the 2nd earliest day to have our exams, and are the 2nd latest to finish it. It would surely have some impact on our morale and spirit in some cases and tends to slow us down. However, i can confirm that even the 6 days period is not enough to revise everything in Anatomy cause it's freaking lots of terms, names, facts and many more.

The Anatomy exam today, was by far, one of the worst i had in my life. I was totally stoned in many cases cause those questions are really quite straightforward, many i'd already studied, and yet, during that very time, i somehow forgot what it was again. We had our OSPE or practical again on the afternoon. Well, i take it, some are pretty easy, some i've never encountered before. Nonetheless. I'd tried all my best and hope that i really don't have to retake this subject again.

And yes, today was my last day of exam. It ended and a BBQ party was on. Would update about it after a good night sleep.

Ok, you would surely ask what the hell i am still blogging if i am so worried about my next and last exam paper aka Anatomy? I would be answering this :"I am now so dam scared and nervous that i really don't know what to do at all".

This version of worries is not the same as others. In other exams, i am worried cause i don't have enough time to revise everything at all. Take Instrumental Analysis for example, how the heck am i supposed to revise everything back in just a space of 1 day. You can argue that i should have lots of time to study before the exams, but think of this, 2-3 homeworks ranging from reports to long essays to stupid assignments, everyweek, right until the end of week 12. I would surely be clapping my hands if anyone managed to really strut in and study intensively during this period.

As for the other version of worries that i am currently experiencing is................there's enough time to revise, but it seems that i can't even remember what the heck i had studied back yesterday or even back in the mornings.

***Rants***

Hello, lecturers, especially those from UKM, we are SCIENCE students, not medical students. We don't go back home everyday and have the pleasure to study and study all the time. We go back home and face our computers day in and day out for our reports. Monash Malaysia did indeed made a terrible decision in trying to bring in those UKM lecturers as well as employing the medical style grading on us. For God's sake, we are SCIENCE students, not MEDICAL students.

***********************************************************************************

My eyes are turning red, i have very very little sleep during this past few days. My place reek of coffee and are strewn with MacD's and lunch boxes around. My clothes had been unwashed for who knows how long and the worst part it, i don't seem to care about these stuffs.

And still, i had to tackle this anatomy monstrosity. I wouldn't actually be feeling this helpless if it was because of the terrible results i obtained for my test. Why you ask? Why would it be because of this one exam? Cause as i've said, they are grading us base on medical style. This "test" ironically consist of 33.3% of our overall marks. Yup, the remaining exam and practical i am tackling next week also consists of 33.3% each. And why, you all would be guessing, do i did terribly for my first test? Well, i should had done better since this test was even postponed after our semester break, ONLY IF we are not to hand over a 4-weeks report of cell met, a full report of instrumental, an assignment of instrumental in the same week. Lets see, the cell met report took me 3 days, the assignment also another 3 days, the intru report took another 2 day...............well well, that really leave about 1 day or so for me to revise the entire stuffs we had studied before week 10. Why not start earlier one might say? Well, you just have to look back up and you know.

No wonder there are so many of my coursemate suffering from severe depressions and even seizures. Sarcastically, thanks a bunch to certain lecturers, we are forever indebt for your "kindness"

Not long after my blog last night, i had a terrible headache. Not sure was it because of the lack of sleep, or too much unhealthy food and drinks or because of facing the pc and notes for hours to end everyday.

Woke up today, with still some pain lingering around. I wasted out time on yesterday, so could no longer afford to waste anymore time for today. Anatomy is not something to be tackle on easily. It's not as simple as elaborating something. And yes, there are probably close to thousands and thousands of terms that you have to memorize. Funny that some of my medical friends told me they don't even have such stupid exam/test syllabus at all. All thanks and hail to the great course manager for inviting over some UKM lecturers who later messed up with the syllabus and who-knows-what they are talking about lecture notes. This is one of the most messed up, if not the most, subject i've ever taken.

It's been already 2 weeks since my exam started. Today just had my 4th paper for Human Physiology. Supposedly it was supposed to be my last paper and i should be getting my well earned rest, but no, thats not what i am getting. Still 2 more papers to go.

Many of my friends are already wearing down. Today is the last day for some of my friends if they are taking another course pathway. For my course pathway, the exam timetable is indeed amusing. The earliest to begin, yet the latest to end too.

No doubt that the papers this year are tough. Its either tough, as in the questions really sets you in, or its tough cause even if the questions are really straightforward, your mind are really mangled up to the point you don't really seem to remember or even have the slightest memory of what you had been studying and discussing throughout the entire semester. So this is what they called the "Scourge of 2nd year".

To add in more spice to this period, i've seen friends + coursemates that really look down, really really down almost everyday. Some are depressed and even heard that some had already went to the physcologist to seek mental treatment. The worst part is that a friend of mine even had a seizure the day before a paper. End up being sent to the hospital by ambulance. I guess that it's not only Medical students who would end up being stress. As for me, i am not sure how i am faring. Still holding on, but not sure for how long though.

Survival is now the main priority. Getting good grades are no longer the agenda for us.

Period condition - Middle of exam period

Physical condition - Tired, muscle aching ( i wonder how that happen ), exhausted, sleepless nights

Mental condition - Unable to think too logically, unable to interpret reality completely

Exam condition - Terrible, one of the worst one i believe

Health condition - Headache and no voice syndrome. Blurred visions on occasions

Overall conclusion - Hope this exam ends soon. Man this is even more dangerous than UEC.
