I love Olaf for his humor and for his bravery and courageousness to dream for an impossible summer dream that somehow at the end Queen Elsa made it possible :)

how to start off .. erm... i think i will start off with my year 1 selanjar 1.
i am actually quite blur by the time i entered medical school. to be honest i am not sure why i want to join medicine. no one inspired me. none of my family member is a doctor. except for my brother who graduated from usm as a dentist. but after all i made my own choice after matriculation. ok i am quite blur when i am in medical school. wondering and confusing how can those people study all these making-no-sense stuffs, which i am referring to anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. they are a lot you know it.i am always not a good biology student (i prefer maths and physics) and i don't really like memorising. then during my selanjar 1 study week, i am so stressed up. if you remembered we have 2 weeks of study week, that is the worst study week i ever had. hahaha. i lose sleep and literally study the whole day or i can say memorizing the whole day every lecture notes and every words. LOL! like what i did during secondary school. cause i don't understand what been taught so far. although i turn out to be getting an A for selanjar 1, but i don't think this is the correct way, there must be some painless way, or at least less painful. then i consulted some of my seniors which are final year last year, HO year 1 this year, they exposed me to the clinical application of the making-no-sense stuffs into useful stuffs. then i become more motivated to appreciate the knowledge cause i know what i learnt now is nothing gonna wasted off like those in secondary school. the knowledge i learn in med school ada kesinambungannya. and so they guided me for half a year until selanjar 3. i know what i learnt now are potentially empower me to serve the humanity. meanwhile, i learn how to make sense of what i am learning. i am always not a good memorizer. i can't remember thing easily if i do not understand it. whenever i read things that i don't understand. then i starts from defining each of the term by flipping through Dorland dictionary. after knowing what is this and that, i started to question what i don't understand and find out the answer. here the tips is know where to find the answer. senior? teacher/Dr ? books? basically in year 1-3 we are learning basic medical sciences, which are anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, pharmacology, microbiology. so i will ask myself from which subject i am most likely to find my answer then i will look it up. E-book/ library/Dr. also, to guide us , objective books are always useful. i keep phase 1 and phase 2 objective books. they tell us what we should know and where approximately we get our answer. but i found out seniors particularly final years are most helpful, because they went through all the mess/ situation we are now facing already, and they might have some tips to solve them. using their tips we can survive med school better. another method is looking forward and looking backward. this method is particular useful in phase2 where we need to integrate our knowledge. looking backward is to ask ourselves what we have learned so far. looking forward is asking ourselves what will we have later. then ask ourselves what we can do now to empower us to learn what will be learned. the next thing is be more detail-oriented, which now i am learning hahaha. i am such a careless person, but from the point of view of precious human life there is limited space for careless. just try to think that we are all human, then what/how would we expect things should be done on us. like procedure/explanation then we will be more considerate. my first advice from final years is labelling the knowledge as what is must know, good to know and nice to know. this is quite useful for us who have limited time. the knowledge is so broad what should we take to ourselves? we can't know everything and not able to know everything or else there won't be specialist. hahaha. choose those yang level kita orang and study them thoroughly. again referring to buku objective or pass year or local epidemiology we will know what is important for us to know. then, perform prayers regularly so that we have peace in mind and a clear mind to learn. we learn better with peace and compassionate view. success in life do not determine by success academically only. we define our own success. after all it is what we want to achieve. but anyhow, to sum up, aim adequately high for ourselves, be honest and realistic for ourselves, plan what to do and do it, if possible refine it here and then. always start from where we are. this is what i do. hahaha. let me share my story of kena tegur oleh Dr. Asma waktu Nervous block because of asking stupid question during mpg. i read the notes many times and yet can't understand and in midst of great confussion so i asked a self-answering stupid question to dr. And Dr. said to me "Don't come to lecturer if you weren't well prepared" so after that session, i step by step clear out what i do not know. the point here is be honest to yourselves, knowing what we dont know and what we havent know so well then work on it. there is only tips of iceberg who born genius, and i am certainly not one of them or else i would go to be another great scientist to come out new theory hahaha. ok back to story with Dr. Asma and thus one year has passed and she was my panel for viva voce anatomy question. she was satisfies with my answer. when i met her in year 2, she told me, "you deserve it (distinction)." the moral of my story is if we welling to improve ourselves, we can achieve it. so as summary, know what your current situation is, start where you are, be realistic know what you wish to achieve plan what you should do to achieve it identify what problem you might have and how you can solve it keep refine your plan so that you can achieve what you want to find out ways that you can learn best, is it solo? group? discussion? teaching? so define your own success and achieve it. bit by bit, may we achive what i want. hahaha just don't feel sorry or inferior for what you don't know, it is just things you haven't know/haven't been capable to master right now. and we never can know everything the world is so big, and how can we say we have known of any great things? hope this helps.cause now i am still trying to improve myself. hahaha happy holiday and selamat sambut raya
Reply 2: This is my sharing to another friend regarding my experience as a anatomy student
Another story of me with Dr. Asma Hassan.
During Block Nervous System in year 1, i had been scolded by Dr, Asma Hassan because i was asking silly question during mpg. It's because i fail to understand what i didn't understand that i asked a distorted kind of question that is self-answering and Dr. said to me: don't come to ask question if you haven't read the notes! (actually i did but i am just seriously dont understand and confused)
then at the beginning of year 2, i met her again. (she is my viva voce anatomy panel) she asked how am i doing in year 2 and said this to me: you are really an excellent student, you deserve it [distinction].
the moral of the story is, fall is not terrifying, unable to rise up from fall is. No one is smart, when you think you're, you're not! the obstacle of learning is ignorant. the more faces of the same thing we see, the more we know clearly what is it and the more questions shall arise that we know that we literally know nothing.
P/S: I shall share more stories of Dr. Asma Hassan which had left USM for UNISZA. She is always a caring and patience teacher.
Sabbe Satta Sukhi Hontu! May All Be Well and Happy!
