It's that time again...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen and fellow students...........it's that time again......

PBL is here!!!

Hear the screams of agony as students struggle to compile a coherent report discussing various aspects and respects of a disease or diseases in a week's time!!!!

wellllllll.....................not really. LOL. We're used to it after countless sessions already.

Anyway, like I said, we got our usual PBL workload last week, due this week on Thursday. I've been putting of doing it. Oh, thou procrastinator!!!!

Can't help it, been feeling really out of sorts this past week. Couldn't study and when I did manage to study, I could only get past two pages before giving up and playing Word Challenge on Facebook. Oh woe is me....

I can hear my subconcious say " excuses, excuses" she sounds oddly like my mum. Hmmm.....

Anyway, finally started on doing my PBL yesterday afternoon. See the chaos baby....

chaos 1

I'm working on the floor because working at my desk gives me a back ache and my arms hurt. Besides, there wouldn't be enough room for all the junk I strew across while looking for information.

chaos 2

Besides, working on the floor puts me closer to my book rack. Which, incidently, I assembled myself. Is it weird to be proud?

Here you can see my laptop a.k.a "Baby", Buku Ilmu Penyakit Kulit & Kelamin, my Harrisons, covered by Harrisons is my Histology book and various papers from lectures featuring classifications, clinical symptoms, treatmeants, preferred drugs etc...

sigh....

the chaos is sorta calming. Hahahaha...

Anyway, going into the third week ladies and gents. Which means one thing.......

next week we have Exams!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaya....not.

Doakanlah kejayaan Nona untuk Blok 15 nih.

Portrait: Mohd Fauzul

The thing about drawing potraits is that they take so long to draw (... for me anyway).

So during classes, I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't draw potraits because they take so much time that I would rather (and should, really) spend studying.

This has made me rather rusty. Not that I was any good anyway at the beginning...

So, during the recent holidays, I promised myself that I would draw at least one picture. A reward of sorts? I was thinking of what to draw. Since drawing some more Arashi was, well, boring, I decided on a theme. And that brings us to this particular picture and this particular date.

Thus was created a portait of my brother: Mohd Fauzul.

Mohd Fauzul aka Abang

Time: did not time because I was frequently fiddling with it at different times

Tools: Sketchbook, 2B, 7B, HB and 4H pencils

Referenced: Gambar raya 2008

I botched it. Sorry abang. It does look like you... somewhat....

Anyway, I did mention a theme yes?

Well, today, April 17th, is actually a month after his birthday (March 17th).

I wanted to do something nice..... So,


Happy one month after your birthday! How's being 22?


I'll give you the potrait if you want it.

p/s: three posts in one day? I'm stressed I tell you... it's the new block

OMG!!! Fly my money fly...

In which Nona fails and flails with furious abandon.

You see, when we went to the Grand Indonesia Mall, I had a target in mind; To go to Kinokuniya. I've never actually been to Kinokuniya surprisingly, me being a bookworm and all that, but that's the truth. Generally, my whole family frequents MPH more with a side dish of Popular.


Pokoknya, I've never been to Kino...


So, after lunch at the food court (mie tarik, Sedap gak), we headed down to Kinokuniya.

When we got there, I was very happy to see that they had a larger selection of english books compared to Gramedia, so I was all set on buying one because, hey, it's not exactly often that I can go there right? After around 20-30 minutes of book browsing, I decided on a book and then went around the store to look around.

Then lo and behold, just as I set foot into the Japanese section I saw...this;

ARASHI 2009-2010 calendar.

Good god, I squealed. Right then and there in the store, I was going "kyaaaaa~" like crazy and my heart was actually beating so hard, it's funny.

I mean, really, this kind of reaction, for a CALENDAR??? But it was no ordinary, I tell you, it's an ARASHI calendar.

The part of my brain that is actually half-sane wishes to point out, "as if this makes any difference".

The other part says, "OF COURSE. It makes all the difference in the world!!!!"

So, in all my squealing and heart-pounding excitement, I grabbed it and went to the counter..... and BOUGHT IT!!!!!!


I have an ARASHI CALENDAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*coughhyperventilatescough*

Ok, back to normal. As, I was saying, I bought that calendar. No matter what my friends told me, I still bought that calendar (sidenote: thanks Aqilah for understanding my insanity). The price.......... shall not be stated here due to the possibility of an induced heart-attack in certain parental figures. But I think I'll tell her anyway, when she asks. Complete with conversion to RM.....

What was in the box? A calendar and a diary. Complete with pages and pages of pictures.

Pictures, pictures, pictures and more pictures!

I swear I'm never ripping this calendar and when 2010 comes, I'll take each page and frame it. Frame it I tell you!!!

What? The thing's too darn expensive to be thrown out after just one year!

And the diary..... ooohhh the diary. The diary and the pictures.......

there are no words to describe how happy I am, so here are some pictures of my pride and joy.

Forgive the poor quality, I was too excited and now I'm too lazy to take more pretty pictures...

the box: front

the box: back

the calendar

the diary

And now, a short review:



The calendar: I'm not a fan of the theme. SURPRISE!! LOL.


You'd think that a rabid fangirl like me would like this, but surprisingly, no. I do not like the calendar's theme. There are 7 pages including the cover. One page featuring each member and a group picture on the last page. The theme: sexy. Sexy pictures all around. Just, well, I prefer their wholesome look more maybe? And some of the pictures were, well, garish. I mean, red rose petals? Really red suits?


Just...no.


Oh yeah, they even included some stickers. I'm still figuring where the heck am I going to paste these...



The diary: I heart this book.


It's more of a photobook than a diary really. Sort of home themed, Arashi during winter? More character based, I'd say. Matsujun reading, Nino with a guitar, Sho writing raps, Aiba tinkering with a bike and Ohno fishing. Group pictures of them being 'Arashi' (fangirls will understand this even if the normal folk don't).


In short, I HEART this diary.

So, the main question: Did I regret my purchase?


HECK NO.

My feet are Killing Me. Chapter 2- Grand Indonesia

ain, myself, ezzah, wan and aqi at the Japan level

This is very much long overdue... The theme for the "My feet are Killing Me" series is the places I went during that four (+ one) days holiday that I had last week. But my procrastination prevails and not to mention we also had a BBQ to prepare and by the end of it all, I was too tired to think of what to write.

So, last Saturday, we went here. Grand Indonesia Mall. The mall itself is the same as any other malls but what we wanted to see that day was the two upper levels. Where the aptly named "Crossroads of The World" is placed.


These two floors are decorated and designed to reflect different places of the world, complete with time period attached. There's the Japanese area, the Morrocan area, one sort of European styled but I'm not familiar enough to associate it to what part of Europe exactly, New York sometime in the past (again not familiar enough to associate the correct timeline) and Soho.

What really made me love this place was the attention to detail. Every aspect of the place was decorated to reflect the theme. Even the toilets and the signs!

We actually spent sometime going to the toilets on every floor to gawk.

Here are some of my favourite pictures of the day. Uploading all would be stupid and take too long, so, feast your eyes on the details....

dozo~

a Japanese themed lamp


European theme... where exactly?

the toilet at the New York themed floor

again New York

China Town

There are actually so much lovely pictures of the place but picking a favourite to upload here is rather difficult.

As for me, being rather enamoured with Japanese culture, of course I loved the Japan theme the most. (^_^)

There is also one more very IMPORTANT thing that happened during my visit to Grand Indonesia but I shall honor it with its own entry. Those who know me well probably can already guess what this leads to.....

My feet are killing me - Chapter 1.5: Dufan. Video

Just thought I'd upload a video of us screaming our heads off plus some running commentary by myself....

My feet are killing me...Chapter 1: Dufan

So, like I said, what to do during this four day holiday???

Well, quite a lot actually.....

Last Friday we (being my housemates and I and Ezzah, Mira, and Bai plus a group of juniors and kak fini, all in all 16 people) went to Dufan, Ancol.
We headed out at around 9.00 a.m and stayed there until the park closed at around 8.00 p.m.

Now that I think about it....LAMANYER!!!!!!!!!

us dalam angkut to dufan

So, what did I ride anyway, remembering my self-imposed ban on thrill rides EVER! thing?

well, they managed to coerce me into riding a swinging ship ride called Koya-koya. Since it didn't spin 360, i thought, well, couldn't be that bad, right? So we went on that after we got of the Ferris Wheel.

I think I left my stomach somewhere over there.

Actually, it was.... ok?? Hahaha.... I surprise myself. Now I actually think it was fun even though I wouldn't have had another go on it at the time.

us on the ferris wheel

(nona yg takut tinggi)

So after that, to get rid of the funny, my-organs-are-hanging-somewhere-in-the-air-above-me feeling, we went on the Bumper cars next..... *cue evil cackle.*

Soooo my favourite ride! Fiqi rode with me, Wan with Aqi, Bai and Mira and Ezzah on her own. I had so much fun!!! Worst crash was when we hit Ezzah head on. Fiqi has a bruise on her knee from it.

Somehow, this says a lot about my driving...

So after that, we went on a multitude of other rides, including a kiddy roller-coaster, a boat ride into a house of dolls aka "Istana Boneka" and one of those spinning tea-cup things called "Poci-poci". Who would have thought that those teacups could make one soo dizzy. (@_@)

We had to take a break after that one......hahaha.

the girls on the Tornado...I'm the one taking the picture.

So many things we did lah, the best...of course the Tornado.

I didn't ride it of course. I was standing happily on solid ground, recording my friends being swung up, spun around and hanged upside down in the air screaming their little heads off...or laughing in some cases....

It was fun just looking at them honestly. I'm living vicariously through them???

Poci-poci aka spinning teacups

We also went on the Log flume, Perang Bintang, Rumah Jahil, Rumah Ajaib and last, Arung Jeram. My second most fun ride of the day. hahaha....

It was a sort of boat thing passing through a series of rapids. It was the last ride we did so we were wet through. We went on it TWICE. Because the consensus was, "We're wet, lets get wetter". Ahahhaa....

last ride of the day; Arung Jeram

After that, since the park was already closing down, we went home.....dripping wet but really, extremely happy.

Honestly, the others went on more rides than I did. The roller-coaster, Ombang-ombang, Pontang-pontang and the swinging thing that I forgot the name.

(incidently,the names are all berganda yek???)

I, on the other hand, wouldn't get on anything high and or spinning. Hahaha...

do i feel left out? Honestly no... it was fun watching the looks of terror on their faces.

p/s: a few of my favourite pics of the day. They aren't in any particular order though. Other pictures can be found on my facebook.

Girls...

Girls are soooo........................... complicated.

Friends forever guys.

Ingat janji yeps????

(090409)

eeehhhh.....lost

itulah ape yang ak rasakan dua, tiga hari nih...

bermula dengan hari isnin yang bengong (i.e skill lab and radiology day), diikuti dengan hari selasa yang bengap (i.e ilmu penyakit dalam/internal medicine) dan diakhiri, setelah sekian lama, oleh hari rabu (i.e microb and surgery day)....

giler bengong.... hahahaha





but, never fear!!! The exams are over!!!!

(shouldn't it be: Fearlah kamu, becoz after this, RESULTS!!!)?

layanlah....

pokoknya, ak hepi exam da abis....

mane tak nye...naik mengong jawab bedah yang mengong... hahahah

ozmate kate muka ak giler lost spanjang minggu nih... hahaha...way over head here baby....

sooo, after exams yesterday, that night, Aqi, Wan and I went to watch a movie. Shinjuku Incident, starring Jackie Chan, Naoto Takenaka and Daniel Wu (a.k.a, Wan-nye hero).

How was it? Ehhhhh....passable.

I don't know lah... Couldn't really get into the movie. I mean, what was it actually about anyway? Was it about the trials and tribulations of illegal chinese immigrants come to Japan or was it about how the guy looking for his love or was it just an action movie where all plot and story development thrown out in favor of kick ass, gory, bloody action (and it was kick ass, gory, bloody action, mind you. I mean.... he cut the guy's face, dude!!!).

So, for me, who didn't get the movie at all, it was passable. Maybe my brain hadn't healed yet from the beating it took during the Surgery exam that I couldn't take anything in....

penangan hebat tooohhhh....

So, what to do next during this four day holiday?

Tiba-tiba, terasa nak makan Secret Recipe nye cheese cake...hmmm... cheeeeese caaaaake...(reads like homer simpson)

Obsessed Much???

You are 41% obsessed with Arashi.

You're almost past the half-way mark! ALMOST! Looks like you're doing pretty well, even though you might be relatively new. That, or you're in the fandom, you're just not that obsessed. Which is okay! Go you!

Oooo yeah......


well, I only started really liking them last year. I used to know Arashi as boy band that wears sparkly, garish costumes during their concerts that make me cringe....




Now, they're MY boyband (the correct term would be, "idol group")





.....though I still cringe at their concert attire.... purple sequins and feathers on your shoulders anyone??????

Of Staphs and Strepts and a sulking gut...

It's exams week.... Oh the shock and horror!!! Hear the screaming of hundreds of Ukrida students as we try to cram some last minute into our brains, or, for the desperate, up any crevice accessible.


I need an outlet right now.....


I made a mistake today. Well, several mistakes really but this one..... this one really bites me.


Today I had my Skills labs exam and my Radiology paper.


It was the radiology exam to be precise. The question was simple enough,

"Kuman apakah yang paling sering menyebabkan osteomielitis."

Simple.... straight to the point.... and I had my staphs and strepts confused.....



Really, as soon as I read the answers, my brain died on me. Which is it? Was it staphs or strepts?????????????


The stupidest, most unbelievable mistake one can make, and I made it....


Am i stressed? Stressed doesn't describe me right now.



Osteomyelitis has been discussed in no less then three subjects and I had my staphs and strepts confused... shheeeeessshhhh..... T_T


My gut was saying staph, really, but my hand refused to listen and marked strept...




Then i had a stomach ache cause my gut was sulking cause i didn't want to listen to it....... >_<;;;




Ah well....



It's Internal Medicine tomorrow. I meet Osteomyelitis again.... complete with classifications and doses.....



Pray for my success....
