Let me explain your diet.... haha (doctor laughing)



Wow! I felt so energetic this day. I hope that i can get through this day happily and successfully of course. There are a lot more things that i need to get through for me to become a doctor. So, I tried to focus on my study. Hmm, my first class today is Biochemistry. When Madam Mimi began her lecture, I tried very hard to put my focus on what she was teaching. But, I felt so tension that I could'nt understand most of the thing that she tried to push on our head. It seems that my head tried to vomit almost everything that Madam Mimi tought. In addition, my eyes felt like closing...
Hmm, now come the English class. This day we are going to learn about how do doctors explain to their patients about diet. As we know, consuming healthy foods and having them with correct ratio of nutrients are compulsory to maintain our state of health and prevent us from getting diseases. I enjoyed this lesson well. I really hope that this lesson can benefit my self during studying medicine and also for me to communicate fluently with my patients in the future.

Hmm.. Role play practice?

Before we ended our class yesterday, Miss Dila asked us to go through lesson 1 to 3. After reading those lessons, I can sense that this class is going to be very interesting. Hmm, I hope that my prediction is right. That day, we were exposed to the communication skills that doctors use during reaching and diagnossing their patients. Besides that, we were also being tought about the steps taken by doctors during diagnossing their patients that is introductory talk, chief complain, history of present illness, medical history and etc. During this class, I felt that actually being doctor is not as easy as ABC. Even communication skills is vital to become a medical professionals. Anyway, I don't think that all occupations in this world is easy. All work have their risks. If you be a fisherman, you may need to face monsoon season. If you be a rubber tapper, you could suddenly being attacked by wild animals. Hmm, I can do this. I can be a great doctor. This is my promise to myself, my parents, teachers and also friends.... InsyaAllah....

Phew!


dub.... dub.... Maybe that's the sound of my heartbeat just before Miss Dila entered my classroom. Today is the presentation day for our English for Pre-Med students. Actually, i'm not quite ready for our group presentation. As Miss Dila entered the classroom, my heartbeat sounded even greater that i could feel like it would come out from my chest anytime. Wargh! What could i do right now? When Miss Dila asked if there's any group that want to be the volunteer to go first, it seem's that all of us refused to go. Out of the blue, one of the groups volunteered to be the first. The title of their presentation is yoga. Hmm, judging through their presentation, they surely searched and read a lot about that. What about our group? Thinking that it's better for us to finish the presentation early, we would like to be the second group. As syahir start our presentation, my heart can't stop beating... huhu. Can I speak fluently in front of others? When it comes to my part, I tried to be as sporting as possible. I created an imagination that I'm speaking alone in ther class. Sounded like like crazy but that surely help me a lot.. Alhamdulillah, thank to Allah that I can do my best... But, can I keep up my achievement? Who know that I can be better? Let's hope so...

First presentation? oh noo......

Today is the second day of our english class. I was very eager to start as this is the opportunity for me to improve my broken english... huhuhu. Once Miss Dila entered our class, she distributed to each of us a piece of paper. I tried to read the title. It sounds " abbrrrrr.... abbri...." Fuhhh, I can't pronounced it precisely at the first time. Then, Zubair told me that the word is " abbreviations" ( did I spell it correctly?). That is somekind of short terms used by medical experts. All of the words are frequently used through diagnosis and treatments. Wow, those sounded mesmerizing to me! So, we went through all the words guided by Miss Dila. It was true that I had never heard most of the abbreviations although I was exposed to medical field since I was a kid as both my parents are doctors. I felt that it was a big shame for me that I want to hide my blushing face inside my drawer.... hahaha.


After we went through all the abbreviations, we were asked to seat in our presentation group to disscuss about our presentation. Hmm, disscuss? Actually my head was empty at that time. However, I tried to give a great commitment to all my team to go through this presentation successfully.. That's the principle of my life regarding working in groups. Along the disscussion, we did not found any interesting topic for our presentation. Huh, what a fate! While searching the best way to solve our problem, my eye stared at a group that went out to the library. Hmm, why not we go there? There's a lot more ideas we can find there. So, all my group members dicided to go to the library after asking permission from Miss Dila. We ruhed there with all the energy we got as we were given only half an hour to be there.

Once we get there, my eyes nearly popped out when I saw all the book shelves. Whow! can i find a suitable topic here? Wargh! I start to have stress. After looking for nearly 20 minutes, some of my group members including me managed to find some related books. Hmm, but we still can't decide the best topic for our presentation. Maybe it's good for us to get back first and disscuss about that another time...
