Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Done with the 1000-word-critical-appraisal essay with 0% plagiarism in one day, yes, you'd never know what completing an assignment last minute can do to you; you would be super fast trying to finish it before the dateline or you would be totally doomed.. Luckily, I didn't choose to be the latter one, phew! Well, although this is only a formative assignment, which will not be counted and acted as a carry mark, but still, I kinda feel guilty if I didn't submit it haha. My semester 5 housemates are packing their things as they'll be moving out and entering the IMU Clinical School in Seremban. Anyway, back to the main topic, which I was supposed to write since last week! Oh my, what this week had done to me. Last Friday night was the end of IMU Malay Cultural Week 2015 and to be honest, twas the best feeling ever after countless of not-enough-sleep at nights, a number of classes skipped, the weekend I sacrificed, together...

How To Keep Plastic Bags Neatly

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Some people categorise the neat people as "OCD". OCPD is quite true, but don't worry. I'm having neither OCD nor OCPD. It's just a preference and personality, not something that I have to do, if not I'll be having anxiety. I'll talk about OCD and OCPD later.  Usually at home, I'd just crumple all the plastic bags and put into a plastic bag holder hanging in a corner of the kitchen, but when I'm away from home, since when I was in SSP until now, I prefer to fold my plastic bags. It's not only neat, but also save a lot of space. Nonetheless, kekadang tu time nak cepat ada lah juga main letak je dalam hand luggage bawah katil haha.  Lets start! 1.   Take a plastic bag and spread it like this. Remove all the air inside by smoothing it using your palm. 2.   Fold it into half. 3.   Fold again into another half. 4.   Fold a small triangle at the edge of the plastic b...

Experience Studying In INTI International University, Nilai (A-Level Programme)

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I checked my ask.fm account and found a question from someone regarding my life as a student in INTI. I never posted anything about INTI in my blog because this new blog of mine was created just after I left INTI, when I already completed my A-Level there. INTI has a few campuses in Malaysia and mine was the main campus, which is located in Nilai, far away from the hectic busy city life. To tell everything in one single post is not enough of course, but I'll try my best to make it simple and I'd make this post more organised and structured by categorising them into different signposts. STUDY During my time, there was no 2-year-A-Level programme, so I took the 1.5 years, 6 months shorter than most of my friends. The schedule was quite packed with most days we had classes, 2 hours each, from 8am to 4pm and sometimes even until 6pm. If suddenly the class ended in the afternoon, memang terus keluar berjimba sekejap haha. A-Level...

"It Is Okay To Fall." I smiled.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Despite of the fact that here is already 5.20 am and my brain is extremely tired, but my eyes are still wide awake, I just finished researching and printing for PBL, watching the video for thyroid examination for tomorrow's CSU session and skimming through the lecture notes, while waiting for the Subuh prayer. A lot of things going on, with a bundle of journals and articles to be read for research and assignments, clinic and hospital postings documents to be settled, and getting myself ready and be prepared for the upcoming end of semester exam that I have to pass, if not, had to repeat another semester. Too many things, short little time. 2 days ago while I was sitting with Ibu in front of the television, Ibu told me that one of her friends since high school is having thyroid cancer, but not sure which stage is she at. This is something I like about Medicine. I can relate what I learn with daily issues, whether it's about illn...

Amazing Muslimah Clothing Tips

Image
Sponsored post. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.  Over the past few years we can see a growing community of Muslimah fashion bloggers and hijabista in Malaysia. This has totally changed the idea of how to infuse the modern lifestyle into the core of what it means to be a modern Muslimah. Even the media used to portray Muslimah women as shrouded in pitch black robes and fully covered from head to toe, feeding the stereotype idea that modern lifestyle, fashion and the religion itself could not mix.  However, this is when all those popular Muslimah fashion blogs prove them wrong with huge impact on the internet like no one has ever seen before. In fact, it is not that difficult to mix them all and dress fashionably like the others – but of course you must adhere to the basic guidelines of how to dress modestly like a true Muslim woman. There are so many ways to adopt a little creativity without even to have crossed the line. You just need to know there are ...

White Lab Coat

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Planning to jog every evening, starting from this week, but recently, the weather has been quite bad, especially around 5-7pm, preventing me from going outside of the building. If I were still in IMU by the time the rain falls heavily, I have to stay at school and wait until the rain stops pouring, at least until drizzle is left.  I have 2 lab coats; the short sleeved is for clinical, which is used at least once every week while the long sleeved one is worn when we're in the lab. I took a great care after my (old) short sleeved lab coat because first, this is the only short sleeved I have and I was looking forward to use it for a couple more years and second, I love my lab coat looks neat and clean (though the colour isn't white as new anymore), especially when meeting outsiders, including nurses and real patients during hospital or clinic visits. I washed it every time after using and ensured myself to iron it before using, b...

Need More Energy: Quick Nap or Caffeine?

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.  Macam pernah Dylla tulis pasal ni, tapi dimana ye? Haha. Yes, I wrote something about Nescafe and staying up in my previous post entitled 'BERKESAN KE NESCAFE UNTUK STAY UP' (click the title to view the post). Since I was in high school, one thing that keeps lingering in my mind, makes me stuck in a 5-min-cannot-study-because-cannot-decide dilemma is whether to have a quick nap or drink coffee first. I know it doesn't make sense because whatever I do, for sure I would end up with having a power nap, esok pagi baru terjaga haha. Unless, like I'd already mentioned in the previous post, usually if I tried to hold my sleepiness after drinking Nescafe and go here and there, reading while walking so I won't fall asleep, then I wouldn't feel sleepy anymore, oh well, even though I would still tersengguk once in a while during staying up *garu kepala tak gatal* hehe.  Last night, one of my closest friends since high ...
