Random post



Pre-medicine; the few books that I used to read and how I do feel about them.

By the way I seemed to realized that most of the books in my shelves at the moment are the ones about motivation, they changes based on my mood. Huh, does that mean that my life lacks motivation before? Hm, perhaps. The amount raises significantly raises after I took medicine. Oddly, due to the mountains of medicine I never really get to finish most of the books and they are currently collecting dusts. If anything though, I dearly hope that Quran don't collect dust.

Have you read the book 'The Kite Runner' by Khaleed something? I didn’t know that there was a book at the first place that when I first watch the movie I was more or less disgusted by what the plot was really about. Spoilers alert. So the fact that one guy can actually make a story about guilt really is depressing. Sorry, I'm quite sure that as any other books that made an international bestseller there is another morale that I should look behind it. Apparently, I can't get behind that that much level of bullying existed until now. Or maybe that just mean that I need a wakeup call that this is Really happening in the world and that I should not be…surprised.

So, maybe I will read review later on. Much later. Remind me. If you must. I'm not looking forward to it.
The second books are the series of unfortunate event by which, the author continuously advices you throughout the book to NOT read this series of books. Honestly, I feel rather neutral about the whole 'don’t read the book. It is a good book the learn about grammar and vocabulary really. A very good friend of mine introduced this book to me, gave me one for my birthday alongside a riddle. Anyway, if by some horror chance you happen to find this vlog then know that I love you you know that. 

So, about the books, spoilers ahead. Three children embarked on a journey of a finding a suitable guardian with an evil uncle (I don’t think he's an uncle) trying to posses their heirloom. *sigh* I stopped on books number 9 or is it 12? I think I'm wrong. Yes, I think I am.


Advice from John Green; study broadly and without fear, learn language if you can because that will make your life more interesting, read a bit everyday and more importantly surround yourself with people you like and make cool stuff with them. And Don't forget to be awesome. DFTBA.

#1 Study broadly and without fear 

Medicine is one of the broadest subject that you can take. Because you learn about anatomy, embryology, physiology, some biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, epidemiology and of course pathology…and that is in year 1.

When you enter year 2, you will learn about the pathology for each of system of.the.body. So, they will be a brief study on cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, neurology, rheumatology and reproductive system.
By the way, I probably missed a few things.

In year 3 however, you learn to imply these things that you learn. I just barely finished this steps. There is year 4 and year 5 but Ill talk about them when I learn about them.

…and withOUT fear.

Unfortunately, in medicine, at least in my university, I lived in fear at least once every 3 months. Fear of exams. You learn to get used to it. Sometimes, but sometimes you don’t. You see, I lived, eat, sleep medicine and I'll probably talk about medicine as well. I practically vomit medicine. But I'll try to avoid talking about them here. Because I feel like it.

You learn to accept fear as part of your life and honestly, you learn many things from your journey of feeling fears, overcoming fears, and sharing your fears. But, if you lived without fear in life dear brothers and sisters, you are missing a big part of something.

If you don’t learn about fear, how do you learn about courage?

#2 Learn language if you can because that will make your life more interesting.

Sadly, Im still crawling with my english and Im losing my touch on my bahasa. Since, most of my patient will be chinese and indian as well, apparently I should learn them as well. 

Ouh and most importantly, Arabic Language, the language of my religion. Of the Prophet Muhd peace be upon him.

#3 Surround yourself with people you like and make cool stuff with them.

Unfortunately, I don’t make it a habit of surrounding myself with people. A loner, introvert... hmm, not really. But really, not many people that I know mainly my roomates and medic friends really want to do something else other than sleep after a day of tiredness of medicine.

Wake up people. "Sudah luput masa tidurmu" Oddly, the direct of the word is 'The time for sleep is expired,"
