So...what happened after my brother's weddding?
Let's take a glance at the interesting events before and after I went back to the uni....
28th January to 7th of February
Trip to the UK and Netherlands with my family
In the UK,we spent most of our time in Manchester,but we did visit places near to Manchester,e.g. Liverpool and Sheffield.It was snowing in Manchester!! I was still pretty excited when I saw the snow, even though I had a few "snowy" experiences before this. I sacrificed my sleep just to capture the beautiful moments of a snowy day. Watching the snowflakes falling down was nerve soothing and I started to have a romantic fantasy ;)
Other than the "snowy" experience, my trip in Manchester was mainly about having a big feast with my brother's friends, cooking, shopping...sounds boring but I really enjoyed myself!

Of course, not forgetting to mention my trip in Netherlands. We were there for only four days. Places visited: Amsterdam and Dan Haag. Was impressed by the high environmental awareness among the Dutch. Most of them use bicycle to travel from one place to another.
Highlights of the trip:
Look at the bicycles behind us..Bicycle is one of the main transport used in Netherlands
Dan Haag International Court
The city of Dan Haag
The Windmills
Fishing village
World Peace Flame
Having Indonesian food for dinner
In her shoes...:P
Making of wooden shoes
On the train to Dan Haag
We visited the red light district. I was shocked by the way the prostitutes "sold" themselves. Basically they were displaying themselves in a "glass room" ,wearing only bikini. They were attracting their costumers by showing different sexy postures.It was a real eye-opener!!! ;)

9th of Feb to 15th of Feb
Traveled down to Johor.This year is our clinical year and we are attached to Hospital Sultanah Aminah Hospital in JB. Time to be back to the uni:( The first week was transition week. I found that clinical year is completely different from pre-clinical years. In clinical year, you are expected to learn a lot of things all by yourself.I am doing surgery at the moment and trust me,the surgeons are quite scary. They always bombard us with plenty of questions during bedside teaching. We'll get scolded if we don't know the answer. Therefore,we have to do a lot of pre-readings before we go for ward rounds or bedside teachings. Apart from that,unlike pre-clinical years, we no longer deal with simulated patients,instead,we deal with the real patients. We will always be asked to perform examination or carry out procedures like venepuncture on the real patient! Talking about venepuncture,I managed to perform it on the real patients. However, there were a couple of times I didn't manage to get any blood from the patient. Once, I was trying to draw blood from a malay woman..her vein was hardly palpable. I just made a rough estimation the location of the vein and inserted the needle without hesitation. Dammit!! no backflow of blood!! I became nervous and called for help "nurse,tak ada darah..macam mana?".Luckily the nurse was friendly enough to show me what went wrong. *Phew* but the patient seemed to be very angry...I asked " Sorry Makcik,sakit kah?" She answered rudely "Mesti sakitla!!!" I felt so embarrassed and I wished there was a hole for me to hide myself :( Well,I believe that practice makes perfect,so I am going to practice blood-taking more often!
22nd of Feb

After the party
Life in JB has really brought us (me and my classmates) close to each other. As we stay near to each other, we get to hang out with each other more often.
This is what we usually do apart from studying...
Eating dinner together...
Having fun at friend's house during weekend

Okay....my hands are tired now...Before I end my story here, would like to once again thank my beloved classmates for brightening up my life in JB! My life would not be as interesting without you guys :)
