fadhshukor

my early and middle 2016 is my downfall term. my second year started with gastritis. for 21 years, i never felt that weak. i couldn't even ate, everything i ate will vomitted out. i can't even get out of bed. my stomach was burning myself and no one was there. except for three person who i will remember for life.

for 21 years of my life, i never faced that kind of failure. it was the first time of my academic life, i failed, even its just in one subject but i failed for that subject in two test in a row. being called up by the lecturer. for the first time, i didn't know how to study that subject. for the first time, i failed. and the person nur fadhilah is the one who never failed. before.

my phone felt into river. had to spend my own money to buy new one. my pocket money became tight.

next, my print broke down. had to spend my own money to buy a new one. again, my pocket money became harder.

i faced some conflicts with people.

going through that downfall term, that was not my only failure. nur fadhilah who won the first place in public speaking competition of national level, actually had lost without any place at all in the same competition of just an intercollege level. i felt so ashamed of myself and started to wonder, what happened to my life?

and i start to think.

my gastritis taught me, that i can't live all by myself in this world. i need people. i used to be Ms.Independent, who don't want others to help me at all if i still manage to do it. the world is about living in community. you must blend in. i was a closed person before, because i afraid of being hurt, i afraid of being disappointed when my expectation is not met by people. since then, i step out from the comfort zone, and learn to be accepted by people, and learn to be hurt by people, thus, i was led to have a conflicts with some people. *so many 'people' word used sorryyy my vocab is running out! it was a real tough one. from there, i was built in anger, i was about to be an ignorant person, was about to rant about it on social media, but one verse from AlQuran stopped me from transforming into that person. alhamdulillah. and a friend came and reminded me that even if you're the last person left, the world still need kind people*again, 'people' word. don't stop being kind. and, from there i learned to treat people how i want people to treat me, but if i didn't get the same, just think the other way round, at least, i've made a person happy, don't expect for a return. don't expect people to understand you, because you are the only you in this world, no one else can be you, how you expect people to understand you? *hee

my financial is tight. but i realised, i never starved, and i still feel enough, even there's  the hardest time, but Allah's help is always on time. Neither late nor too late. in everything, always seek  for Him at your worst and best. correcting faults in prayer was not an easy journey. until now im still with lots of flaws. and learn to stay low. humble.

and i learned to learn again. i need to have a self discipline again. everything was started from almost zero point. i realised how hard studying is, what is the real meaning by correcting your 'niat' in obtaining knowledge everytime you study. alhamdulillah im experiencing the difference.

with lots of self mistake to be correct and some corrected *i hope* i know i actually can end my 2016 with smiles too. i started my online stores with 1.5k followers in less than one year, its just, i stopped for a while to focus on finals, passing several of my tests being among the top scorers, and happy memoirs that i've recorded here, and with you, for reading my stories and keep supporting my blog.

i believe life is about learning, in order to live, i must learn. even in the hardest way toward myself.

May 2017 fill with love, appreciation and sincere.

It was Friday morning which is the last day of the week before we going to have longggg weekend. 4 days considered long to us! But first, my schedule to record our LAX video, and have three hours pharmacology practical and my holidays awaits. The recording went well than our previous Gamification recording which gone haywire and cute catdog fight, huhu.

But the recording went over well when my group exceed 9 minutes of recording time when we supposed to record only 20 minutes video. So, we were late for pharmacology practical. I rushed to lecture hall but suddenly received a news that Dr. gave a case study to be solve instead of having lab activity. Okke.. a case study here I come.

Read through the case study, I found it is a Amitraz toxicosis case in a 4 years old poodle. Amitraz is common drug use to prevent ectoparasite(tick, lice and mite) infestation on animal. The problem listed  are vomitting, diarrhea, depression and others. So,  I did the presentation slide regarding the problem list, diagnostic work up, the diagnosis, and the treatment, but I stopped at the mechanism of action of the drug that causing all those problem list. I understand all the problem mechanism except one, how Amitraz cause diarrhea. But the time is ticking away!  My partner just write what we found without understand much and absorb the simplest information about the mechanism which I kept on praying that my question wouldn't be up to be presented. And rushed back to the hall.

Stepped into the lecture hall for presentation session, I still on my phone kept on searching for the diarrhea mechanism. How how and how? Why isn't there an answer? But nature is calling I went to ladies and left my phone inside the hall. I went out of ladies, my groupmate rushed to me and told me that my question was on presentation now! What??!!

I walked down the stairs to the front and the mic changed hand. I started my explanation on and on. So, its looking good. When it came to mechanism of action, I passed the mic back to my partner. But it was passed back to me. They said, cakap je fadh, confident. Thus, I explained the mechanism of each problem listed except the diarrhea part, still safely hidden. and Dr. neither asked me about that, nor doubting my explanation, Alhamdulillah. My worrst nightmare came to an end. But I was curioused. I continued until the final part which is the treatment to be administered and there, I started to be given with questionsss. It was a heated questions and answer session. Alhamdulillah the questions still could be handled by my beginner knowledge regarding pharmacology.

Then, it ends. I was sooo afraid to handle that presentation before. I thought I couldnt handled it. Thank you so much for my groupmates's support! After the class end, I met up my Dr. and asked about my problem to find diarrhea cause by Amitraz toxicosis mechanism. It was actually the common reaction when an animal having foreign body thus, it doesnt have specific action regarding Amitraz drug component! Oh, I was worried over unneccessary thing! Read more fadh!

its a long holiday but im still in college.

The unsolved problem will come to you until it solve! Don't avoid but face it!
p/s:thank you so much for Anonymous comment that correct my previous entry. :)

Objective Structured Clinical Examination, osce which i just googled just now hee. osce is like a mock exam mostly conducted for health practitioner, vet, medics, about others im not so sure. so, my osce was scheduled right after my test 2 but suddenly virology which is the last subject for test 2 is postponed just in one night ! when a test is postpone for more than two time make us play around and increase our final-paper-syndrome, which is a soul threatening, bilala exam nak habis ni..

so, by hook or by crook, i must change my mindset that my final paper is viro and not osce anymore, must change my game plan, start studying for osce first, after finish osce then we go back to viro. it's aren't easy. which i actually got less than three days to study for osce. osce plays a big part of our curriculum, because it carry big carry mark, second, its our very first doctor-ly-practical-examination; how you will talk with your client, how you wanna deal your patient, your profesionalism, everything is tested here, you must present yourself as the DOCTOR, NOT STUDENT ANYMORE, NADA. third, of course i wanna pass!
first day of-osce-preparation, is on saturday which the university is having merentas kampus or cross country run. either i wanna stay in room and study for osce all day long or make use of the bright sky while preparing ?? finally i chose  to get up and head out of my room, if i stay there longer i'll be more anxious. but that day, i decided not to run like i used to do, but just walk while revising patient history taking until the finishingline. thank god, got classmate to spend the walk together! people who walked passing us gave weird look.. apa pula tanya-tanya pasal kucing ingat ni klinik ke? huhu. we're still sane people no worries. after finished and went back to college we capture two cats to practice animal handling plak. again got another weird eyes looking at us. huhu. practice and keep on practicing until malam. malam guna elmo pula for practice.
second day, practice and keep practice until 10pm. i need to stop. relax and calm myself. 'fadhilah, you need yourself a sleep, tomorrow patient dont want to see your bulging eyebag eventhough its permanent.:P then, that night, is the night that i ironed my white coat  for the first time ever. would never forget.

and the day come. i am sooo grateful that my name on among the first session. i dont like waiting for exam really want to finish is asap. penantian satu penyiksaan okayy . got four station, each station i only have four minutes to fnish all the task! and the voice break the silence, next station please. go fadh! my turn came.

first station was the histoy taking. i was soooo shocked, i tried my best to hide it, hoping the client not realised it too. i realised i took some time, quite long, to read the case. it was a piglet case! i actually just practice about swine minutes before i went in, not the days before! tanya je la fadh relax.. so i started. i was stuttered to say 'piglet' because im afraid i identify the animal wrongly! when you nervous you cant even distinguish which is pig which is dog! thank god, im not wrong, it is piglet. and to be honest, its the client that accidently enlightened me about whats the piglet problem when i was still blurry because i felt like almost fainting in the examination room. im still like, me now a doctor? waa. when the client said 'diarrhea' when answering my question, it snap me back to real world. i couldnt finish my history taking in the 4 minutes provided, so i tried to end it as polite as i could.huhu because being rude is automatic failure!

move on to second and third stage, i felt better alhamdulillah. but it came to final stage, which is the large animal ward, stepped into the examination area, alamak prof. ni..the strict one. the task is to identify the rate of rumen sound. what is rumen? one of the ruminant stomach compartment.. what is ruminant?..can google hee  the goat was nice with me at first, but when almost one minute, it started to move around so i just released it exactly after one minute of ausculting. then, i reported that i heard two rumen sound in one minute which indicates that it is normal. and the prof asked me again,' so just spent for one minute?' i just answered with big eyes of confidence 'yes' but i actually release it because i dont want to stress it anymore, i know i need to hear it for another one minute why i can't answer like that fluentttt because i was so nervous facing that prof. then, prof. said 'ok' so i left. i left with feeling that i would failed that station. i dont have mood anymore for anything else. i really on mood swing. i dont even took picture before going back because i was sooo frustrated. then, i went straight to ioi alone, and had boat noodle as much as i could huhu. leave the rest to Him. Allah knows best.

just a snap before i went in

last thursday, the osce result was out, alhamdulillah i passed. i-actually-passed. instead of all my frust and some tantrums huhu. and we have to go back to virology test 2 two days after the result, which was on friday. and i just had one day left to prepare.

alhamdulillah, today i just finished my virology practical test. and tomorrow got immunology quiz plak.

 passing a test is important for me because the result shows how's my attitude toward my education and knowledge. if i really put an effort thats the outcome, otherwise if i dont, the outcome might be bad.  faham tak? hee.. it's something that need to ponder. but there's a point, when we've put effort, but still not getting what we want.. that's another situation. im gonna write about it soon.
no matter how hard your study is.. keep the ball rolling, you're making life as the best version.
and



the hardest pathway is indeed the most beautiful! make one yours.

I got caught with this song by Bunkface entitled Dunia this past few days. Why? Look at the lyrics

Alhamdulillah just finished my parasitology first test. The course which I scares most actually. Alhamdulillah all praise to Him. Do our best and leave the rest to Him.

So, when I said 'change' means I am one of those sleepy head during class, and when the lecturer said 'I end the lecture here..' suddenly poof! my head up and eyes open wide. At that time, I always blame the syaitonn that hanging around my eyes and close my lids. I am active with all those organisation and extra curricular activities, those do deprive my energy and time especially during class but that shouldn't be an excuse. It's me who need to make a change. But still, I'm not taking steps to avoid myself from sleeping. Worst yet to come, I lost the precious details during class.


I realised that Focus in class and listen to every single tiny bit of lecturer words is super duper important, and depending on lecture note solely is never enough. One word left, I have to do extra extra extra effort to understand and grab the concept of that lecture.

Mama suggested me to try jogging. One fine day, I tried to jog.

I'm way too far from being a sports person. Thus, to start jogging is really hard for me. But, for the sake of my performance in class and health, I have to do it. Can you imagine a girl out of breath face stepping with smallest step just to keep on moving? huhu that's me,

So, here I share my just an ultimate beginner jogging tips and tricks

1.start with small goal and achieve it
At the very beginning, I set a goal that I must jog non stop for 10 minutes or how long you want. If not setting any goal, I probably just jog for three minutes, and the rest is just a dream. Set a goal is a must, so you have a track to do something. Set a small goal and achieve it everyday, then move to bigger one.

2.don't stop. push yourself and keep moving.
One day I told Elmo that I jealous looking at people who can jog entire college non stop at all. I wonder how they do it. Elmo told me the trick is, not to stop. Don't stop. At all. Don't stop. Because once you stop, your leg need to restart the whole metabolism (burning) process to obtain energy for your leg. All over again. And you'll feel your leg is heavier than before. But how if I really exhausted? Don't stop. But reduce your pace, reduce your step, keep on small steps but continuous. Your body will relax a bit but still burning. You'll feel your legs become lighter and you're good to go and finish the lap.

3.consistent and improve,
You don't have to jog everydayy. At the beginning, I prefer to use time as my goal. Every session I must jog for 20 minutes non stop. So, every time I jog, just jog for 20 minutes but don't stop. When I've comfortable with it, I will put myself another goal to improve myself. So, I'm improving and keep on improving.

4.determination
This is the sole key. In everything we are doing, determination is everything. Why I start jogging, because I don't want to be the sleepy in class anymore. So, get a clear target, gather your determination and go for it.

Jogging which is a start of having a small healthy habit actually helped me in various life perspective. As getting old, I realised I'm not as strong as before!  It taught me to have determination, consistent, improve myself, don't give up easily and more.

But back to basic, if you don't want to jog, you can try other exercises but an act of not letting yourself sweating and exercising is actually torturing your own precious body. Believe me, when you start exercise, your body will thank you. Because you let your body release their stress, their spasm, their own natural endorphin, our body also deserve their own healthy happiness right?

 Now I can open my eyes wide till the end of the class! Let's make a small spark and become a flame!

'I will come here again and do something significance' -Me, 2014

I've visited Aquaria KLCC two years ago with my housemates for our 'girls outing' hee. I was amazed by each inch and every centimetre of the exhibits area. The agile otter, roaming sharks, swimming school of fish, more. I felt like don't want to leave at that moment. My heart pounding to know more and more about this place, especially the animals here.

2 years after, which is two weeks ago, I came back to Aquaria as one of their intern veterinary student. And it is not as heaven as I thought.

Every morning, woke up at 4.30 AM to prepare myself to face the day because we need to move to TBS at 5.30 AM to catch the very first LRT at 6.10 AM. Every morning must present at Aquaria basement lab by 7.30 AM for a morning briefing. Normal working people start working at 8 AM but we need to start at 7.30 AM is a new challenge for me cuz I need to change my mindset and adapt to earlier working hours!

inspirational billboard that greet me every morning with smile. :D

Everyday my friend and I assigned to different department, thus fulfilled my dream to learn each inch and every centimetre of Aquaria!
What I can say, the Aquaria team is working sooo hardd days and nights to preserve and maintain the place. It is not as easy and people thought, such as feed the animal, clean the place, etc etc, but the process is far beyond than that. They do water quality process, where they check the water quality of each tank everyday to make sure it is at correct rate. They do feed preparation comprised of 50 kg mackerel, 1 kg suid, prawn, clamps, and vegies everyday. It is not easy okayyy. Each type of fish eat different type of cutting of feeds!
Despite all of the tiredness, the working environment is overwhelm with positivity and passion of each staff to give the best for their part.

Plus, instead of learning theory and practical about the management, almost everyday we gonna have pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, parasitology ad hoc quizzes from the Vet. We really need to squeeze and recall every lecture that we had before to answer the questions!

By the end of my internship, we got a chance to dive! Its a once in a life time chance!

which one is me? hee

When finished the working hours at 5.30 PM, I went to pray Asar first, and start the journey back to TBS. Everyday I'll arrive at college around 8.30 PM. It is a long day that repeated again and again for two weeks long huhu.

how can they face this every time going home

However, I realised that, it is a culture here, to always utter 'Terima kasih' and 'Thank you' to everyone. Appreciation is expressed to Aquarist until to Cleaner and Guards for every small things did(dunno if my grammar is correct or not here!) Thus, reduced the tiredness and lift up the spirit to work.


I guess working with animal is less stress indeed!

Follow your dream because it will give you an indescribable satisfaction. Dream is always beautiful isn't? But still, there's a price that you need to pay. The effort will be worth it, don't be afraid to try.

Blogging from my phone today because first, I don't even bring home my laptop. Second, because the internet connection here is not so good. Huhu.

Alhamdulillah I've actually went through the second year of DVM! Frankly speaking the third semester is still can be tolerate, but the fourth semester always got me out of breath everyday.

Some tips and advice or the #101secondyearofDVM for adik2 yang want to have a sneak peek about the second year.. I guess?

1.Prepare your nutrition, and anatomy knowledge of your first year to enter the second year. During my time, lecturer relates a lot of new topics with anatomy and nutrition during the first year. Honestly I'm not so good with anatomy thus, need me to push harder in that subject during second year. Other prerequisite subject like physiology 1 and 2 also need to be prepare for physiology 3 during second. But as far as I remember, nutrition and anatomy was frequently asked.

2.Please bare in mind that when you are in the second year, there are quite lot of Veterinary activities which is tradition to be held every year, such as Dogathon, vet sport, vet camp etc are going to be organised by the second year student. Here you need to sacrifice some of your time for study to involve yourself with these organizing job. Good luck!

3.During second year, is the year you'll be doing a lot of dissecting. So always prepare your bag with gloves, masks, blades, and scalpels.. Sometimes there's unscheduled dissecting session from the prof. And dr. Huhu. For the Muslim, always have your samak sanitiser with you in handy form. And prepare a lot of tanah to wash your clothes!

4.During the second year the lecture schedule might be a lot of free time but it's not for you to go ioi or the mines ea.. It is when you need to do the event organizing-organize stuffs huhu. I really love my fourth semester schedule really laid back..hee.

5.This is the last one kot..during the fourth semester, it is where you'll be learning new subject such as pathology and parasitology. From my experience, I feel like it is the first time when I really need to think, talk, and write like a doctor. The feeling is different. If I knew about it from the beginning, I wish I've prepared myself with all the terms which I really had problem with.huhu. Sesal kemudian tiada berguna.. So, be prepare !

6.Doa banyak2 agar dipermudahkan sepanjang tahun dua itu. Andd don't forget to have fun.
😀

I don't want to spoil all other surprises for the second year! You need to explore it by yourself!
And having  final exam during Ramadhan is a new experience for me. It is when I always need to remind myself not to be dragged by the exam preparation but instead need to balance with chasing a lot 'pahala'  untuk bekalan nanti. May all of our deeds and studying for finals is accepted by Him during this Ramadhan. Amiinn.

Thank you to all my support system during the final exam.. Mama, family, Elmo, friends really owe them a lot.

And of course, Him who always there anytime anywhere..

I just wrote an entry regarding TEDx couple of months ago but I've actually just finished attended TEDx itself few hours ago. It full of positivity and inspirational day. I'm finally attended a TEDx event by my own! Dream came true!

At the beginning of the day, I was surprised that the event is from 8.30 to 5pm! I just knew that it is a whole day event instead of half day event! And I need to hear 15 talks straight! I was doubting myself whether I can do this? Can I bear all the 15 talks? Because even for lecture also I can't bear sitting in it for 1 hour straight, honestly.

Then, to the auditorium we went for the first talk. The first talk delivered by Prof. Mushtak Al Atabi, about Engineering our Language. Its about we need to reform our everyday language usage into positive word and avoid the negative one. His idea is to change the word 'problem' everytime you want to use it into the word 'opportunity'. And time by time, it shows a very positive result to a company and many of other big names from overseas companies and organisations start to use his idea. I wonder whether he charged them for a copyright or not..hee. And for the next talks, every speaker who going to use the word 'problem' they changed it into 'opportunity' and it help to give a whole positive aura to their talk too.



And the inspirational talks goes on. I still surprised that I survived all the 15 talks! It means it was delivered succesfully. Hee. If you want to watch the whole session, you can search TEDxUPM on Youtube, they will upload the whole session soon.

Besides that, in between the talks there is an opportunity for the audience to come up on stage and deliver a one minute speech. I applied for that session! but unfortunately not my rezeki to be up on stage to talk. The organiser said that the slot is already full. Next time I'll try again. There was one audience, deliver about questions that only 10% of the world population know the answer. There are 10 questions, and I just could remember two of them, which are

'Where was the first alphabet is written,.?'

'Where was the first story is written..?'

And the answer is Iraq. And the speaker is also from Iraq. He stood up for his country to tell people about his country that many people misunderstood for. I can feel his sincerity from the talk and it is so courageous of him to do that.

The TEDx event uphold the theme of 'Breaking Barriers' and I tried to break barriers of myself to make new friends. And I am really happy to have new friends instead of friend. Hee. Getting know each other, talk, exchange ideas, but the time is actually quite packed with the talks so we can't have much time to exchanging informations for future connection.. but I hope I can at least remember their faces. And I befriended with a sweet girl who is actually a Master student pursuing her studies in eletrical engineering course. She look so young! I misunderstood her being an undergrad student!

So, in life, have a list of what you want to do or what you want to have, so our life will be more meaningful for us to live in when we have something to achieve. Just pursue your dream.



Alhamdulillah for the opportunity He gave me.

Assalamualaikum dun-ya..

There's a lot of things to be keep up with these days. I've done organising another intervarsity One Health Initiative 2016 last week. It's an eye opener for all the participant regarding the One Health which still new in our country.

Thus, I've become an inconsistent blogger which is really not goodd.. I've a lot in mind to write but I still cannot spare some time to write about it. I'm afraid if I'm not going to produce a good writing thus I keep on procrastinating. Haizz. Keeping up and jugling with studies, events, and works make me miss my blog.
Andd.. my final exam is just in 3 weeks timee! I'm looking forward it. Studying is not really that bad actually. When study to gain the knowledge, you'll feel the self satisfaction and not stress at all. I enjoy my study!

Couple of week ago, I give a try the Tracker method to make sure I do the essentials of my day. Like breakfast, pray on time, etcc. I feel my life getting better when I'm doing the tracker method. Making me more discipline toward myself. Discipline is always the key to success kan? (isn't)? Maybe I should add the blogging into the section too! Sure!

Alhamdulillah, I'm feeling good. I wish I could write some single thing happened in my day(sound weird huhu) Which I can flip through in future cuz I'm really quite a forgetful-about-memory person huhu.
Always give yourself a chance to do improvement then you'll grow old with better self quality.

Assalamualaikum dun-ya,

living is a situation where you cannot run away from having a thought called as 'perception'. the perception come from your heart and mind. Perception is a definition of something or someone that you perceived from your very own perspective or in other word from your point of view.

perception is very very very subjective. for example, some people perceive that the dress is blue and some other think that the dress is gold from their view. thus, perception can neither be true nor wrong.

however, when it comes to perception on human, many can hurts. why? because human have feelings and their feelings can be express or can be known even without being expressed. day by day, people getting hurts by being perceived as someone who they are actually not. but, they don't have the chance to explain themselves, they don't have the chance to show their true values, they don't have the chance to prove that others perception are wrong.

what do you feel, if you are the one who is at the place? Hurt.

yes, it is seems to be desperate to explain to each and every people about who we are in order to avoid from being perceived wrongly. however, in opposite situation, let's not perceived people smile as a threat, don't perceived people good deeds as an acting, don't perceived people praise just an act to flatter you. they may genuinely smiling because they happy for you, they might be helping you because they really understand your difficulties, they maybe sincerely praising you because they know you deserve it. thus, seek the beauty of every human being instead of keep on having bad thought on them.

i'm spreading this message, because i've seen a lot of people being hurt by this act. and frankly speaking, i did the same mistake too. and i felt a great guiltiness. im hurting people. i hurt the innocent.

and i want to apologies to each and every of you, whoever reading this, if i had perceived you wrongly which i am not able to reach each and every person. i am sorry.

let's fill our heart and mind with good thoughts. so does to our Creator, Allah S.W.T. every of the challenge is how He shows His love. every difficulties is how He strengthen us. everything in every way is actually a beauty.

Assalamualaikum dun-ya..

Bringing down my laptop and leaving my books, taking some rest while waiting for the laundry to finish, that’s how my mid sem break looks like.

During my mid sem break, everyone in the house, my mom, my sisters(both big and small) aren't having holiday same as me. Every day till late evening left me alone in house. Automatically, all the house chores is on me. Now I understand that being a housewife is not easy. Really Not easy.

Housewives works starts from early in the morning and just stop when everybody in the house sleep soundly.  Wake you up for Fajr prayer, prepare kids for school, prepare breakfast, bid you before going to work, start the laundry, washing the dishes, clean the floor, prepare lunch, etc etc. Endless.

Sometimes, during this 'my-housewife-trial' I do feel lazy to wake up and just want to continue sleeping (my bad side) 
But then, questions come to mind, how long you wanna stay in bed? how long you wanna stay lazy? until when you wanna be unproductive?

Then, I realized that by hook or by crook, I have to motivate and gain my own spirit to get out of bed and become productive. Because, you should and will feel bad, when your mom come home but all the laundry are haven't touch, all the dishes haven't wash, all your time is wasted by doing nothing instead of socializing on your phone. And what I need to accomplish all those, is spirit.

In anything you do, whether studying, working, etc all we need is the spirit for us to keep on moving. Spirit, motivation, I try to find the exact words, but I think semangat!/spirit can best describe it. Keep the spirit in you!

vets and the dissecting blade cannot be torn apart. huhu berpisah tiada.

Assalamualaikum dun-ya~

Alhamdulillah finished 4 tests for test 1~! Still has another one final paper, which is the Thinking Skill course. For all the -logy2 subjects, pathology,physiology, bacteriology oh anatomyy please be good to me! :)

Scrolling around the Youtube channel during free time make me come across to a series of TEDx talk video. I still remember the very first TEDx video that I've watched is about 'Whats veterinarian knows that doctors not.' There is a physician that admitting and explaining why being a veterinarian is tougher than being a physician or in other human doctor. She inspired me and opened my eyes wider about my field. Start from there I've becoming quite addictive to TEDx channel because, all the talk being presented is always inspiring people to become better and the presenter is the 'real' people who are not just talking based on their script.

This morning, I watched a video entitled Learn How to Learn by Barbara Oakley. At first, she explained a problem solving method that are applied by Thomas Edison and Daly. Both of them, when they come to face a problem about their invention, they will take one step back to rest their mind. Thomas Edison always having a bunch of keys inside his pocket for him to play while he is resting while thinking about his problem lightly. Same goes to Daly, he has ball bearings. This shows that brain need both 'forceful' focus and relax thinking to find a solution effectively. Thus, to make thinga clearer, Oakley shares about the effective ways of studying and learning that coincidently , I also apply some of the techniques and I think I could share with you :)




1. Promodoro technique

Oakley said, in studying, we couldn't put a target that, 'I'm going to finish this whole topic today'. And in reality, it is truly impossible. Even me myself couldn't do it. Finishing the whole topic does not guarantee that you understand and remember what you learn very well. In other word, the quality of revision is lesser than the quantity that you've revised. Its actually a waste of time when you need to re-revised what you've learn sooner or later, right?

So, what we can do is to apply this Promodoro technique which introduced by the Japanese. What you need is just a timer, any time can do. Every study session, set a timer to 25 minutes. Say to yourself that 'I'm going to fully focus on studying for this 25 minutes'. No smartphones, no surfing,  and minimise background music. Focus, and understand what you learn will ease you for memorising what you learn :) Then, take a short 10mins break and do whatever you want and let the brain interpret what you've learned before the next session! Your brain also need rest!

2.Test yourself!

Being in veterinary medicine study, need a lot of reading and memorising. Since we still a student who do not apply what we learn yet, it is quite hard to remember everything what we've learn, thus we tend to study everything at the last minute before the exam to make sure that we can remember what we've learn for the exam day. Of course, that method is truly stressful.


Oakley suggests to always test ourselves with any big or small test. Such as using flashcard, or doing any maths or physics or chemistry exercises in a approximate timing. By testing ourselves, it will strengthen our memory plus  we are helping our own brain to memorise too! For vet subjects, it always about understand and memorising. All those muscles, medicines, pethology of disease etc. So, I'm using the Quizlet apps to help me studying and filling my time wherever I go. It doesn't matter if you only do 5-8 questions,but the key is to 'always test youself' Always. Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit :)

3.Understand alone is not enough.


When you got the opportunity to have a group study, go ahead! Don't miss it. By having a discussion you actually can get more tips on how to understand a topic by the sharing among you friend! The truth is, it actually saves our time and energy instead of cramping ourselves all over to think of everything! teehee! I always use this, because I know they got more time to prepare for exam than me. Thus, when exam is around the corner, I will join any group discussion to gain more tips from them.

However, just oneee condition, you need to study that particular subject at your own first. ok? :)

So, that are all of my study tipss.. supported by Barbara Oakley presentation. Feel free to watch her video by clicking onto the link at her name. :)

Another 3years to go! Study hard and smart!

Assalamualaikum dun-ya~

Entering second semester of Second Year of veterinary medicine will make you have to use your time very very well because you may not even have a lavish time for a meal. Especially breakfast. But breakfast is the most important meal *common thing to hear right..* in you day! Our brain need fuel to get started every morning. Even if I late for class, will find time for breakfast hee. Every 1 or 2 hours lecture will have a 'take 5' or 'take 10' break. That is the time for us(student) to rush out of the lecture hall and buy something to eat.

excuse my tanned hand.. huhu

Assalamualaikum dun-ya..

It's been a very longgg time not writing. There are tons of ideas for me to write but the time is dragging me other way round. I love my hectic life, but of course, the thorns and storms always there by my side.

All of us have the same 24hours but my 24hours may be different from you so does yours is different from mine. I'm grateful enough that every morning I'm still viable to wake up for Fajr prayer to start my hectic day. It will be a way long entry if get into detail of every of my routine so let's just have some sneak peak


 -College dinner preparation. Makjasa X.

lighting is bad...sorry..

Being one of the high college student council isn't easy job. Now has come to our biggest event to organised , the college dinner! Training my pioneer of emcees is not an easy job..but they are positively improving! Hope they'll keep the momentum till the big day. Being a stage manager also  not an easy job..I'm still in learning process.. Plus handling the rehearsal everyy night makes me become panda already. I also working on a secret project..for the night.. It's one of my dream to do it and this opportunity isnt going to be waste off! Alhamdulillah everything went well , all praise goes to Him.


-Dogathon. Medieval time!

This event succesfully ended last week. We manage to gather 1032 dogs this year!Again I  become one of the stage manager for Dogathon! Practising flash mob, preparing the gimic props, became usher etc gave a lot of experience for me. Prepared this event since 2015 but need to be postponed due to Rabbies outbreak is also a heartbroken for us..its not easy to start a postponed event that already being publicised all over Malaysia.. But still we manage to do it !

-Study!


Yes. Study is NUMBER ONE! Woke up after 3hours of sleep then went straight to 8am class and finished at 5pm is really challenging! Plus, test 1 is coming next week so have to prioritise things more efficiently..

-Business
In the middle of everything, my small business must be going by hook or by crook. People are demanding and I couldn't turn them down. Coming back from work around 12am, then continue some business errand, then after study till I couldn't open my eye lid anymore huhu.


 Every of my blog entry may portray that my life is always good, happy, always on track, but it actually not always. It's just, I quickly erase all the bad scene of my life from the mind. Sharing about your problem on social media is not an intelligent way of handling your problematic life :D Always get up from the despair and MOVE ON. Alhamdulillah for everything.
