The results..

Alhamdulillah, I passed my exam.

Truth been told, the the upcoming reality that I have finally become a doctor hasn't really dawned on me. Altho I was jumping like a manic monkey after receiving the result (ecstatic sangat - all the bloody hard work before exam has finally paid off) in front of my husband (he said,"Eleh, I tahu u mesti passed punya.After all the mental torture I received masa your exam, you might as well bloody passed!). He is the one who suggested we cut short our stay in Blackburn masa I did my job shadowing there as I was getting restless to get my results. My stupid Uni refused to relay the results through phone and e-mail on the day they announced the results. I became more impatient as all my colleagues I studied with text messaging me saying they passed.

My husband said,"Yang, tak leh jadi ni. Naik sakit hati la pulak tgk all your friends dah passed, you tak tau ur results lagi. Balik London cepat la yang". So there we go.

What I think of the new place I will move to?

I love it - the scenery is breathtaking, the wards are one of the cleanest I have been, the view from the wards is mesmerizing, cheap livingcost, people are so friendly, the water there is kind to my skin that I no longer need the constant supply of body lotion and the air is so fresh (you actually can smell its freshness) and make me want to stay outdoor. Even my temper is behaving better!

And the community has Swiss lifestyle, although transport is a bit less punctual but pretty reliable nonetheless (cab is bloody cheap anyway).

The only regret is we don't have a car at the moment. Takpela, we gonna buy it in September anyway, kena sabar sikit la kan!It will all pay off at the end.

Uihh, lama tak blog dah

Hi blog.

Today is the last day of (potentially) medical student. Exam done and dusted. Been working so hard everyday since last month. And yet after finishing the last paper, it kinda feel empty.

S joked,"Now its time to study for our MRCP". Hehehe.

Me, A, S and B revised OSCE together for the past two weeks. I have lower backpain and (L) shoulder pain which have starting to affect my sleep (now its time for me to see my GP), S was suffering from stress-induced eczema and A was back to stress-induced ciggies chain smoking. Hope we smacked all the OSCE stations,dudes! I was getting bloody exhausted towards the end of the week, but my mood lifted up after the communication skills OSCE.

I hope all of us passed! Amin.

On other fronts:

My husband is around. Yipeee.

My 3 phone broke down a couple of days ago. Called the customer service only to be told call back one hour later. Marah nak mampos. Dalam hati, habis aku mencarut2x. Am going to write a complaint letter to 3 - Crap phone lines, crap customer services, crap shop services. Nak buat camner kan. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys, isn't it?

By the way, anyone who want to contact me, please do so by calling my other phone 07944490995.

I am away from London for the rest of next week. Gonna do my job shadowing. Back to London on 26 June 2005.
