Been A Long Time

Well well well... I haven't been on here for ages. I was having too much fun in my current semester. It has been a blast so far since the first day. Things are getting more interesting, but so is the amount of materials and workloads. I celebrated my B-Day on the island, away from my parents for the very first time that is. I won't ever forget that! Was a blast yet I am still ambivalent about it as partially feel sad not to be together with parents to celebrate B-Day. However, my friends here made it a blast! So first and foremost, thank you guys! I really appreciate it for showing up and making it a merry party!

I will post the pictures from that day soon in case if you guys want to see them. I hope to do something similar after the semester or even after next Mini! Looking forward to gather again and have fun... I might need some inputs from you guys as well for the future events!

First Patient Interview

I had my first live patient interview on Monday. It wasn't that bad of an experience, but it is completely different from DPS papers that we've been writing in first and second semester. Those paper, you formulate your own questions and answer or you write a story tailored to your need. However those papers helped me quite a bit. At the very least, they gave me a sense of confidence and made me think that I know what I am doing. Those papers put me in ease when I was doing the interview. I will usually be at like super anxious stage in those situation, however I found myself at ease maybe a little nervous as a first timer, but nothing more. Hey, to tell you the truth, it is far from being perfect, but didn't make me feel like an idiot with a pen and paper sitting there and doesn't know what to do. If I have to rate myself I will generously gave myself 6.5/10. That is how perfect it is. I missed to get some information or do a complete ROS. I was jumpy over different sessions because I was letting the interview to take its own course. That is mainly due to my lack of organizational skill and didn't have a good grasp of the structure of the interview. I think I will improve greatly maybe up to 8.5 or higher on my second live interview! I am looking forward to do it more!

The only thing is that clinic visit took about 25-30 minutes ride and the winding road made me nauseous. :( I felt like throwing up when I got to the clinic.

Also I have to write a report or write-up on that patient and due by this Friday. I am pretty much done with it and doing final touches. So far so good??? Don't know yet, I have to wait and see! Can't draw any conclusion for sure yet!

Mother's Day Poem!

အေမ

ကိုးလလြယ္လို႕၊ ဆယ္လဖြား၊ အေမ့ရဲ့သတၱိမ်ား။

ရင္ခြင္ပိုက္ကာႏို႕ခ်ိဳတိုက္၊ ဂ႐ူဏာအစဥ္စိုက္။

အရြယ္ေရာက္ေတာ့ေက်ာင္းပို႕ကာ၊ ပညာသင္ေပးရွာ။

ေန႕မအား၊ ညမနား၊ သူ႕ဘဝကိုပင္သူေမ့ထား။

ပညာစံုလို႕ ၾကင္ရာသို႕၊ အေမ့မွာလိုက္ကာပို႕။

သားသမီးျငီးညဴ မ်က္ႏွာစူ၊ အေမ့ရင္မွာပူ။

ဆဲကာဆိုကာေျပာလို႕သြား၊ အေမကေတာ့ေမတၱာထား။

ေမတၱာမပ်က္ကာ ဆက္ခ်စ္တာ၊ အေမတို႕ရဲ့ က်င့္စဥ္ပါ။

အေမတို႕ရဲ့ မိုးေကာင္းကင္၊ သားသမီးတို႕ရဲ့ မ်က္ႏွာျပင္။

အသက္ကိုပင္စေတးလို႕ေပး၊ အေမ့ရဲ့ခ်စ္တဲ့ေသြး။

Mother's Day လို႕ေခၚတဲ့ဟာ၊ တႏွစ္မွာတခါလာ။

ေပးလိုက္ၾကတဲ့ gifts ေတြဟာ၊ အထဲက အာပလာ။

အေမ့ေက်းဇူး မဆပ္ဖူး၊ သားသမီးမိုက္ကာ႐ူး။

Well.. well ... well.....

New semester is about to begin... and I am glad I finished my 1st year unscathed! woo hooo... passing the semester is a great feeling. Thanks to people who encouraged me throughout the semester and being there with me through all the ups and downs. I couldn't have done it without you guys beside me. It means alot to me and I really appreciate all the encouragements!

During my break I am catching up with movies, burmese and english. Some movies are entertaining, some very knowledgeable and some plain old stupidity. While watching some burmese movies from (www.shwedream.com), one actress remind me of special someone. Her name is Thet Mon Myint. http://www.yangonow.com/jpn/blog/files/ma%20thet.jpg, http://media.photobucket.com/image/thet%20mon%20myint/photomyanmar/Thet-Mon-Myint-Red-Top-500px-005.jpg

Just a few links of her pics... tell me if she is not cute. I don't want to use the words hot and sexy cuz those words have different meanings for me and her prettiness lies in the "simpleness" and hot and sexy just doesn't quite fit with her prettiness. I think you know what I mean. Either way it is quite refreshing to watch movies and relax over the break. It was a short break but not a shabby break by any mean!

Wish best of luck to readers to my post. Once again thanks for reading/spending time on my blog. Cheers!

Almost forget.... Early HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to the moms out there!!! To my mom, you are one of the greatest, bestest gift I have ever received in my whole life. Love you from bottom of my heart, MOM!!!!! <3<3<3

Funny Stuffs!

The Associated Press - ‎Apr 17, 2010‎

SYDNEY - An Australian publisher is reprinting 7000 cookbooks over a recipe for pasta with "salt and freshly ground black people.

salt and freshly ground black people... that's one hell of a recipe if you ask me! I don't know how that author is going to sell the book even after reprinting it =S tough luck for him/her.

Funny How Things Are Run, Ain't It?

Life insurance companies investing in the fast-food industries so they can get more profit. It is like double Bohr effect! On one hand, they are getting nice dividends from those investments, on the other, their clients who are eating those fast-foods die young and never even get to the full benefit from them. Very interesting WORLD we are living in.

Another earthquake 7.1 in China? REALLY, WTF is going on? Expect an aftershock? Where are the geologists out there? Common... I am sure this really now deserve an explanation!

World is Crumbling

What is going on, please some geologists tell me!!! I demand an ANSWER now! Seriously, is the 2012 $h!t for REAL? Just past 3 months or so, starting with Haiti, all earthquakes are above 6.5 in magnitude. Nothing less! 7+ and 6.9 aftershock, then more in other place. And 2 days ago was in Baja California 7.2 or so they said. Today in Indonesia 7.5... so you, geologists out there please please give me an answer. I am BEGGING!

And for those of you who been drilling more wells into ground, STOP IT! Mother EARTH is mad ;(, you don't want her to turn into INSANE! Quite sad how no one really care about nothing except him/herself these day. Where the self-sacrifice, which used to be a noble thing to do and many are willing back in the days... Now if you do it, you will be ridiculed and labeled as "DUMB@$$" or something in that nature.

To end this on good note, I will pass the 2 practicals I took yesterday and this afternoon. And more interestingly, I cannot get a 0 on today as we have 1 freebie! WOOO-HOOO!!! I am for the free as I am desperate! (I haven't been posting lately as I am doing some catch up and I am in what they called here "THE NOTORIOUS HELL WEEK", which has 4 practical lined up 4 straight days, then 3 days break and 3rd exam, then a week from that 3rd exam is 3 days of COMPREHENSIVE FINALS!)
