the origin of asura_sendo..

well .. referring to the above topic(cam surat rasmi lak.. merujuk kepada tajuk di atas)

hmm i'm preparing to maybe phase out the e-mail asura_sendo from use..
i get to much trouble trying to explain to people what the thing means..

asura
well if i'm not mistaken.. from a vast amount of experience reading Hong Kong comics..
this refers to something evil.. demonic in Hinduism.. wicked etc2
itu le.. baca Pendekar Laut(tried to register this one as an e-mail at first tapi taken) byk sgt..

sendo
this is a Malay word.. and some have tried to contradict me and others thought i derived this from ape ke nama cerita jepun tuh.. aa slamdunk.. ada org nama sendo..
well far from it..
during the period masa tuh.. i was immersed in Gayong...
dok semangat.. masa kat MRSM jasin.
well roughly.. sendo means invisible..
The founder of Gayong was awarded with the title Panglima Sendo Perak after proving himself to the Sultan..

so basically after putting one and one together.. came up with this e-mail address.. the point of using this address at the time was to remain anonymous.. as i wanted to err.. bother someone..
nowadays.. i just get tired explaining.. haha need to find something a bit more professional haha..

haha so now.. i think maybe it's time to retire the address.. been getting to many spam pun nowadays..

Oldies...

just putting these songs for fun.. some may say to the contrary.. but what the heck...
enjoy...



roy orbison-- pretty woman... i vividly recall watching the movie... the period before richard gere become a buddhist and all.. i think..



the turtles- happy together

suddenly teringat pasal lagu nih... i was watching an episode of the simpsons.. they played the song masa tuh..



nice song..
the everly brothers- all i have to is dream..



haha a song from Gerry and the Pacemakers
You'll Never Walk Alone.. sure it's a cliche.. but who cares
YNWA.. expect a good rendition of the song when Barca come calling to Anfield next week..



The beatles- yesterday..
the video clip isn't at all related to the song..
couldn't get one with the beatles due to the fact you could hear people shouting in their live performances.. so took this one instead..
possibly one of my favourites ..
for no particular reason ye...



my way - frank sinatra
my father's song..

happy birthday and may all your wishes come true..
not forgetting all the ones that i;ve missed..

I'm back..

haha better do all the bloggin when i'm still fresh ..

hmm well .. let me recall the road leading up to exams..
without a doubt this was the hardest exams i faced and i expect to be saying the same thing about sem 9 in the not so far future..
honestly.. i don't really know why i was a bit edgy and was on the verge of maybe a burnout/breakdown.. it was stressful.. surpassing what i went through in sem 3

maybe it was to do with the fact.. if i failed i would have had to repeat the semester and be demoted down a semester.. for me.. that wasn't an option.. i also had trouble coping due to the painkillers my "smart"(hint-sarcasm) orthopaedic surgeon gave me.. it was pushing me towards narcolepsy and already by myself i had a sleep hygiene problem..
anyway the painkillers didn't really help with the leg pain and i dispensed with it most of the times.. didn't want to be a junkie.. haha wouldn't want to be in Dr. Phillip's clinic where i suspect he'll be showing me pictures of old men asking me to remember what they did for the WONDERFUL field of psychiatry..

well for me psychiatry... it piqued(look it up) my curiosity.. but i found myself.. unmotivated.. uninterested.. and was distracted by the final examinations.. as most of us were.. but funnily enough(as usual).. i was distracted.. that doesn't mean i was really doing the best to prepare for exams.. left that to a few weeks.. generally i was okay with the posting in semester 7 only the ones in semester 6 of which one i managed to fail spectacularly..

well , i digress and return to the fact that the exams were taking its toll on me.. mentally, physically.. wouldnt' say spiritually le kot..
it was hard.. with the threat of repeating.. on the verge of burning out.. losing interest at a critical time.. physically pooped out..
without a doubt.. i owe a lot to my friends.. who pushed me further past the hurdle of sem 7..
i salute you and say thanks... you know who you people are..

i had multiple study groups.. haha.. and to all the groups.. i owe them a lot.. for prepping me to face the exams..

before taking the exams..
honestly.. i had the weird feeling.. that i would fail.. the one time i got this feeling was sem3 and it was true.. wouldn't want to count the MCG for ICA's le kot.. as i get that feeling all the time with them.. haha

but.. after taking the SAQ .. i regained a bit of confidence le kot..
got quite a few odd questions le kot.. got something about Conn's syndrome, SLE, Hemorrhoids, Pancreatic Cancer etc..

for SAQ.. i crapped generally okay.. except for the Conn's syndrome where i missed the diagnosis..

OSPE was in short.. a nightmare..
got the pictures of old men for Psychiatry
ECG,carboprost, thomas splint,diabetic foot etc2.. some of them which are a bit traumatic for me to recall..
well throughout OSPE .. during the rest station.. i would be busy munching on biscuits or drinking water.. something i do to distract myself from the traumatic .. err reality..

OSCE.. well is a another story for another time.. wouldn't make justice to it if i cramp it up here..
anyway.. the end result was that i passed.. and our batch had 100% passes which even to me is surprising.. who did we bribe to make this come true? haha

alhamdulilah.. i owe a lot of this to my parents(esp mak) who prays for me.. and also to all friends le kot.. haha..
thank you again...

it's been so long...

haha after receiving numerous err "complaints" about my blog which has been inactive for quite a few months.. i was suddenly moved to update it.. maybe it's something to do with boredom and the fact that i have time after the long slog with exams and all..

actually.. i've lots to say.. but i'm not really sure what to say.. haha paradoxically ironic..

well just to trumpet to the world...

I PASSED MY SEM 7 EXAM...
shocking ..
i know..
even i'm still in shock...
from Dec 18.. my last post on the blog.. there's been quite a few milestones and events that occured.. so bear with me while i try to recall them.. haha

December
hmmm december... oh yeah.. i was doing Obstetrics at the time..
for me, Obstetrics was one of the best postings of semester 7.. i enjoyed my time in the posting..
however that can't really be said for some of my group members..
true enough.. u get tired doing Obs.. early morning drives to IMU.. day starts 7.15.. classes in the afternoon.. seminars.. and on calls at nite if ur in Dr Zain's ward.. i think .. due to the constant barracking and grilling by Dr. Zain in the ward.. at times i was quite "proficient" in Obs, wouldn't want to say GOOD as that would be a complete lie..
i just didn't back up what i learned with theory.. being LAZY and all...
got to deliver a placenta.. a few VE's tried an amniotomy.. a few venepunctures.. a failed attempt at IV setting.. numerous CTG tracing and contraction timing..

this was also the period when my mother left for her Hajj.. she has since returned and is in good health..

well.. during the last week of Obs.. or the end of the 4th week.. i fell sick.. was feverish.. unwell.. unable to get out of bed.. my exams was originally scheduled to be on Wednesday where i should have gotten Dr. Krishna.. my luck kot.. Dr. Sheila allowed me to come for exams on Friday.. with Dr. Zain as the examiner.. it was more like during his ward round le kot ..
as a sideshow.. on that friday.. as expected .. quite a few.. hmm that would be an understatement.. almost all of those from my group were missing.. no one from my ward was present.. in Dato Siva walked into the ward.. haha he demanded everyone come and see him in the wards.. some got letters. most were already in their hometowns..
haha their luck..

throughout the posting numerous ODD things happened which would not be suitable to discussed here in the event of someone from my house spying on the blog..

so ..
au revoir for now..
till next time..
