I’m still waiting for you(r)….

I know u need more than 24 hours a day,..
but then again, who doesnt?

and in the middle of this hectic mess, I still beg around for those time-window where I could steal a minute or two and send you a line..just to tell you that I’m alive, and no..Im not doing well, but I’m ok..

and in case you are wondering (which I wonder whether u are) I’m coming back home soon, though I’m sure I have sent you numerous msg/mails telling u that I will….yet in the end I wonder whether we’re gonna meet, or whether u want to meet me at all..

In a mere ordinary situation, an ordinary person will stop. just stop. and maybe turn around. or turn away. But I am no ordinary (or so I believe), and this, is not ordinary too. So yes, I’m sticking around. and I’m gonna wait. it has been years, and another few years, I believed wont hurt me much more than it already did…

I dont think this post ever gonna reach you, but I want to believe that..I want to have the faith that somehow you know I own a blog, and I want to believe that I have the privilege of you, surfing around and so suddenly, incidentally, drop here…

and for my faith has not yet been weaken, and thus I’m still waiting …
for you(r)………….

Sleepless_nights300

I havent posted anything yet since my last three exam. This exam session actually get me drooling all over.

at the end of the day , I felt sick , and nauseated, and what not..it must be due to the numerous sleepless night and high-concentrated caffeine intoxication I’ve been consuming a lot to keep myself awake. Despite the fact that meds always tell u to get enough sleep, they dont bother about their junior future-to-be colleagues, who spent at most 3 hours of alternating deep and REM sleep.

that’s what a lawyer and a doctor have in common. they didnt practice what they said :)

anyway..

my desk is a mess right now..full of paper, notes, and….plain garbage.
and so does life..there’s a lot of things to be done, but I cant manage it. And theres’s people I need to attend, but I have to (painfully) delay it…this exam thingeys had really turn me inhumane.

so, to whoever planning to take meds out there.
RUN.WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Now, on other things…
weather…(why do people always talk about weather anyway? because its a harmless subject)
weather, just like my desk and my life, is also a mess.
It could turn up very windy and cold in the morning, and then soaring hot in the afternoon, initiating a series of vasodilation that end up with me having a cluster headache. ..
and since my bed is RIGHT opposite the window, my sleepless night now got worst with chilling-wind and whistling blow thru the crack from the window.

I think I should clean up this mess first thing. now.or maybe tomorrow.
now. ok.first.desk.garbage bin?

Corner Of Your Heart

Ingrid_michaelson



There’s a corner of your heart for me.
There’s a corner of your heart just for me.
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart.
Just to stay in the corner of your heart.

There is room beneath your bed for me.
There is room beneath your bed just for me.
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed.
Just to sleep underneath your bed.

There’s one minute of your day.
There’s one minute of your day.
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day.
Just to occupy one minute of your day.

Just to sleep underneath your bed.

Just to stay in the corner of you heart.

I was there..somewhere :)

The Neuro Trivia

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Phew!! after a week struggle with brain,neuron, stupid neuro terms, and the tremendously awkward genetics thingeys, I actually managed to get out from the exam hall…alive..

and…since I have passed my exam, so I officially acquire the honor to bitch about our infamous neurology dept :)

As per my two-semester observations, one can conludes that :

1. Babushkin is the worst lecturer ever (albeit his skill on torturing patient till they spurred the truth out, thus his favorite diagnosis "Stress-induced pain")

2. Babushkin deliver bad lecture in English, and even worse in Russian (considering its his mother-tongue, yet nobody - yup,not even the Russian-could make sense of what he is talking about)

3. I think Barulin (aka Doralin) have the tendency to mark/label student according their…."appearance"

4. When he dislike people, he really shows it, either by unheartedly pull "that" face when you answering, or give you the "wacky smile" - as if saying "You dont know shit about neurology"

5. In the end, he actually isnt that bad, considering he is one of few teachers that actually teach (when he’s in the mood, otherwise he’ll order u to watch some crappy promotional videos about new neurotropic drugs)

6. Neurology is one of those subject with difficult and various diagnosis but usually end up with the same course of treatment.

7. Medical genetics is those subject with similar-like disease & symptom (they have like..hundreds of muscular dystrophy) and all of them end up INCURABLE (Doralin favorite term)

8. There’s a well-english-speaking intern who love to bug student during the examination (he actually convinced Doralin to fail several student, and made Doralin doubt for a second whether I should even get a good mark for my answer)

9. You’ll never learn anything in neurology by attending the lecture or the practical class (esp if u got Babushkin for two semester as ur tutor).

10. You could study by yourself, but usually the Russian dr will incur your answer as "invalid" as it does not comply with "Russian School of Medicine" - yep, it did happen today

11. I learn more about neurology via the Japanese-series "One Litre of tears" than two-whole semester in the damp-cold Neuro class.

12. I think I’m gonna miss neuro dept after all :)

My exam-preps APRAXIA

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

APRAXIA = the acquired inability to do a multiple steps activity(ies)

and usually it involved IDEATIONAL APRAXIA (when the sick guy didnt know whether to heat the oil first or put the egg first), and IDEAMOTOR APRAXIA (he know he should put the oil first, but he just cant make up his mind either it is oil / egg?)

I just found out it does happen to me sometimes…

like…when I am preparing (or trying to) for neuro..I cant make up whether to read neuroanatomy first, or the disease? or maybe I should start with med genetics??? I know I should start with genetics, cause God knows I know nothing bout genetic blablablabla, but I cant make up my mind…it seems neuroanatomy should come first

and what I;m doing here???

I’m so damned
