Last exam & farewell dinner

Hi assalamualaikum. Semalam menandakan our very last exam for this last semester. Tak sangka dah habis sem 8 guys!!! Bunyi macam sedap je belajar 8 semester, tapi perit jerih manis masin masam pahit kitaorang je yang tahu sepanjang 4 tahun belajar ni :)

Tambah bermakna, bila last exam untuk degree ni venue dia dekat chancellor hall, ya tuhan rasa terharu sangat sebab after this, the only reason untuk come back to the hall probably sebab our graduation day! Tak sabar nak konvo, sebab masa matriks dulu tak merasa. Tak sabar nak tunjuk dekat ma ayah, this is for you guys.

Anyway, last exam tu adalah written paper. Sebelum tu, kitaorang berperang dengan tiga practical exam which were yang paling penting lah untuk this sem. Biasalah, student relate science ni memang wajib ada practical exam. So untuk budak business, management ke apa, bersyukur lah korang takda practical exam macam ni coz why? Bila korang perlu jawab written paper saja, semuanya bergantung pada kau & examiner yang akan tanda cuma satu, jadi sifatnya lebih adil. Contoh macam optometry ni, clinical exam kitaorang kena buat eye examination on real patient which is kitaorang tak kenal pun. Entah dari mana, & entah sapa-sapa. Jadi, semua bergantung pada case patient tu & supervisor kita. Kalau patient kita tak banyak masalah macam cataract, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma, or juling, then akan jadi lebih mudah & simple. Pemarkahan pulak bergantung pada supervisor, kalau kau dpt yang jenis kedekut markah, nasib kau lah. Sebab each of us akan dapat supervisor yang berlainan. Ha cane, susah tak? 😏

Ok back to the story, yang last exam tu kitaorg expect susah, because tak cukup masa nak study, & the range untuk sesuatu topic tu adalah sangat luas & random. Diseases relate dengan mata adalah seperti 1001 case, terlalu banyak so possible untuk ingat each case secara detail. Paling-paling tahu definition je hehe so aku baca saja apa yang instinct aku suruh baca & alhamdulillah soalan yang keluar memang ada dalam expectation aku. Hehe cuma soalan objektif susah nak mam noks. Aku rasa hanya satu dua soalan je aku confident objektif tu kakakaka aku boleh harapkan essay saja lah. Tanda elok-elok ye & do give me extra marks for being so obedient in class Madam T :) hakhakhakhak

Okay after the exam, we all memang already planned for dinner & also gift exchange, kitaorang cabut undi randomly, so nama yang kau dapat tu adalah orang yang kau patut bagi hadiah pada dia, & i got Joseph the funny & spontanenous chinese guy in our class haha. We called it dinner sebab tak pergi masa berbuka puasa, plus nak respect the non-muslim classmate, so after 8 kitaorg kumpul, lagipun masa tu dah ramai orang balik sebab dah makan berbuka kan so more space for us, takyah nak booking tempat haha the whole class ada 24 tapi 4 je tak boleh join, so yang datang 20 orang. Kitaorang susun meja buat macam rumah sendiri ok dekat situ haha.

Lepas makan kfc semua, so start dengan tukar-tukar hadiah. We have to describe the person dulu then semua orang kena teka siapa, then baru kita akan bagi hadiah dekat that person so that it would be more intimate, sebab kita macam thoughtful of them, their characteristics & all. Aku rasa berdebar sangat sebab tak tahu langsung sapa yang dapat aku hahaha so everytime dorang describe someone, aku rasa macam aku ke..eh bukan ni...haha sampai la the chain tu habis, tinggal 4 orang je belum bagi & dapat hadiah lagi. Then funny thing was, aku patut bagi hadiah dekat Joseph & rupanya dia pun dapat aku haha so awkward. Supposedly takkan jadi macam ni tapi dah random pun, still boleh dapat sama. Sokay, dah tahu dah lelaki mesti tak reti beli gift for girl haha. But the paper bag is pretty though thanks man.

The dinner was simple, but quite emo for me, thinking that i had 4 years friendship with them & the fact that lepas ni semua berpisah pergi intern, lepas tu mungkin kerja dekat hometown masing-masing. I think im not ready for that yet.  We never anggap ourselves as seniors haha bila fikir balik, yelah we are in the last sem, rasa tak grow up lagi, but then we learnt a lot & this sem memang mencabar, paling susah & paling stress dari sem-sem lain i must say. Let me put this into numbers,

4 weeks to find 42 patients, 20 contact lens & 5 dispensing (spectacle)

2 weeks for community service (every weekend pun selalu join)

4 weeks clinical posting @ hospital, had to observe 80 cases (must)

2 months to carry out research (WTH?)

& lain-lain yang termasuk class+presentation every friday, midsem exam, logbook, administration @ eye centre, thesis & all.

I admit I once crying because i got so much to handle, & nobody understands me. Tuhan je tahu susahnya macam mana & terima kasih tuhan sebab kurniakan aku kekuatan &  i managed to finish all. Takda istilah cuti & relax for me untuk final year. To juniors, dont be stress yet....not until you get in the final year then rasalah stress kaw kaw haha any tips, can directly ask me, i would be glad to help.

Okay i think ill stop here. Goodnight guys xx

#throwback final research project poster presentation

Assalamualaikum guys, pejam celik pejam celik rasa cepat je berlalu padahal tengok last update was in march, cakap pasal strabismus. Hehe so funny...why? Coz im done with it baby. I managed to get done my research project, did all the spss shit by my own, belajar sendiri je sebab supervisor takleh nak tolong. Sebab dia taktahu. Yang dia tahu, always cakap okay. Hahahaha idk whether he did that because im doing really okay, or very good sampai takda apa - apa nak complain or betul kan.

Anyway, orang kata kalau tuhan bagi susah tu, mesti dia akan bagi setimpal punya, untuk kau tanggung. Thats what i feel masa aku dapat siapkan research tu. Rezeki Allah after viva presentation, i made it to the top 30 final research presentation representing my course untuk fakulti. I had to do posters & all, lepas tu present to the judges yang outside dari bidang kita so you have to made it very clear so them. Alhamdulillah, quite proud la with myself hehe thank you sbb always percaya in me.

Final draft dah submit currently just tunggu approval untuk proceed with hard cover bound thesis. Sorry la, selalu U government panggil this thing FYP en tapi kitaorang sini tak biasa panggil macam tu haha for me thesis is not my main focus here, coz we have so much to do. Because im in clinical year kan, so selagi belum cukup patient requirements i takkan rasa lega lagi. Tak cukup, takleh graduate. I already done 43 patients for this sem, just nak cukup kan for contact lens quota. Need more 10 cases. If you guys wearing contact lens or baru nak try tapi tak pernah check dgn optometrist, jom lah jumpa saya. Tak sure la korang aware ke tak pasal ni but the contact lens itself has its own size and diameter. If you never measure your corneal curvature and diameter, you main pakai je contact lens tah size apa & tak fit pada mata you, beware of the consequences. Risk untuk dapat ulcer, radang, luka pada mata adalah sangat tinggi kalau contact lens tak properly fit on our eyes. Come on, we all belajar contact lens for 4 years kot takkan korang ingat pakai contact lens is that damn easy?😏😏😏
