Something from the lecture slides...

Yesterday i attended a lecture in the morning and the lecturer put up an interesting sentence in his last slide:

'Life is a fatal sexually transmitted disease.'

Watch out!

Watch your thoughts; they generate your words.
Watch your words; they guide your actions.
Watch your actions; they become your habits.
Watch your habits; they shape your characteristic.
Watch your characteristic; it determines your destiny.

The UHW Week

This week is the 22nd academic week of my Year 2 course. Just like the previous academic weeks that I had, it is quite typical in a sense that the duration of of lectures is still long, on average the 1st lecture will start at 9am and the last lecture will finish at 4pm. However, this week is rather 'atypical' compared to the usual days because I will spend 80% of the week in the Medical School which is in the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) - approx 30 mins walking distance fr my house - rather than the School of Biosciences which is just 5 min walk fr my house. It is a good opportunity for me to at least do some 'vigorous' exercise by having some brisk walk to n fro, despite the fact that the journey could be tiring after long lecture hours.

While waiting for the next lecture, i decided to come to the computer lab and to blog about some thoughts that i had during the lecture tat i had just b4 this. It was actually a lecture on abnormal growth of children followed by a clinical demonstration where a patient came to the lecture theatre and shared a lil bit info about her clinical conditions. Personally i think it is v good to have such an opportunity to see a real life example of the things that i learnt in the lecture because it helps to reinforce the learning. And to be honest, I really enjoyed most of clinical demonstrations that i attended b4.

If i dont remember wrongly, i think a lecturer once said that patients are also our 'lecturers' in the medical course. The medical students will always learn valuable information from them which cant be found in the textbooks. Indeed, i dun just learn about their clinical conditions but i am also highly motivated by their fighting spirit in dealing with their illnesses. And it is because of this i decided to be stronger whenever i encountered a prob in my life, trying to stay as optimistic as possible even everything just seem so wrong sometimes. There is always a silverlining behind the cloud, isnt it?

Encouragement...

I was quite down for the whole evening, until i saw this sentence:

"Smile that things have happened, not that they have gone."

Accepting a bad outcome is one challenge while adjusting one's life back to normal after the acceptance is another challenge.

Isn't it hard?

I shall try harder then.

Roath Park

Went to Roath Park yesterday right after my morning lectures. It was the 1st time for me to leave my footprints on its ground since the day i reached Cardiff. It is the best park that i have ever visited since 1st day i study in UK. It is a must-visit place in Spring if you are in Cardiff at this time. =)




So, let me just post some of the pics tat i took in the park. (NB: the quality of the images might be a bit low as i was using my hp's camera to snap them, the resolution of the cam is not as good as that of a camera. I wished i had my camera with me at that time! haha~)

Reflection

As I was writing this entry, my Windows Media Player was playing just one mp3 which is one of my favourite music - Canon in D. I like to listen to it whenever i want to do some reflection or feeling unhappy or when i fail to slp. This piece of music is just like a loyal companion of mine who always be with me during the most difficult time in my life.




If you want, you might wanna play this music in ur computer or laptop while u reading this entry. Hehe~~~





I had faced some challenge over the past few mths. Some of them were quite difficult to be tackled with while the rest were quite easy to be handled. Usually, whenever i encountered a prob, i would try to rationalise it and find the solution on my own. It was not that i wanna keep everything within myself but i just wanna be a lil more independent.





Occasionally, when the burden of the prob was so great for me to bear with, I would tell one or two frens who are really close to me. The reason being this was because I wanted to have someone, who really understand me, to listen to my prob and if possible, try to give me some opinions and more importantly, the moral support. I m not sure what kind of characteristics that i have been potrayed to ppl, whether i m strong or weak. The point that i wanna make here is regardless how strong the person is, moral support that is given by frens during stressful period is really helpful for him or her to be able to stay even stronger.





However, not all the time you can get the support that you want. All of us will have different prob at certain time in our life. Sometimes when I really needed support fr my frens but at tat time they were oso at the trough of their lives, so as you can imagine, I would need to generate the moral support on my own in order for me to keep moving on. Definitely this could be done but it was really a big test for me.





Sometimes when i was in bad mood, frens around me might be offended by my 'near-to-emotionless" state. I m truly sorry about this. I actually felt extra hurt when i saw frens being hurt because of my mood. Well, i think i must learn how to ctrl my emotion so that i wun hurt anybody.





So, i must now look at the bright side of my life and brace myself for more upcoming challenge in my life. This is challenging but i m sure it can be done!




Spring is coming!!! That means there will be more sunny days and let's look at the sunny side of life!!! :)

Went to hosp for lectures 2day.

Took some pics during the break.

=P

As the day time gets longer...

Spring is here already! (or maybe it had already started few weeks ago without my notice). The day is now longer compared to those days during autumn n winter. The sun will shine into my room at 7 sth to wake me up and will set when i m about to have my dinner at around 7.

I like this time of the year, because it is v similar to that in Msia.

Oh man... I miss home so much now!
